Chapter 573 Conspiracy 60

ess in her eyes. A smile still lingered on his lips, doting and gentle as he explained, "But you have your grandfather and Yu Mo accompanying you at the General's Mansion. Your happiness there is diff...Huangpu Qingyun sensed Feng Lingxi's discomfort, knowing he had overstepped. His eyes dimmed, and he softly asked, "Lingxi, has the poison on your body been cured"

"Once I have the antidote, I'll cure myself. Don't worry."

Huangfu Qingyun smiled and nodded at her, "It's okay."

"Huangfu brother, will you continue to stay here or go to the inn In two days, we'll return to the mansion. Leaving you alone here is unsafe."

Huangfu Qingyun following them back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion would cause misunderstanding, he could only go to the inn or stay here. However, staying here was easy to cause trouble, he still hoped he would go to the inn, at least it would be much safer.

"Go to the inn, I've already had it prepared. When you return to the capital, I'll go to the inn."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "That's fine. When your injuries are better, there are some things that need to be dealt with."

Huangfu Qingyun responded, but he didn't say anything else. He understood what Dugu City said, but he didn't want to mention it in front of Xi'er for fear that she would worry.

Feng Lingxi wouldn't possibly not know that the two of them were deliberately keeping her out of the loop.

As Dugu City said, it's best for her not to get involved in current affairs, lest disaster befall her.

Two days later, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng returned to their mansion early in the morning. Huangfu Qingyun also returned to Beijing with them. After sending Huangfu Qingyun to the inn, they returned home.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng had just arrived at the mansion when, within an hour, Dugu Xiu came. He met with Dugu Cheng in the front hall to discuss matters. Feng Lingxi took Xiao Li back to the backyard, put the medicinal herbs she brought back into the pharmacy, and went to Shutai's courtyard. She happened to meet an eunuch from the palace who had come to present a gift. Feng Lingxi politely greeted him.

"Shū Taifei, Sì Wangfei, our family will return to the palace first and take our leave."

When he walked to Feng Lingxi's presence, the official bowed to Feng Lingxi, "Fourth Princess, the Empress Dowager said that if you return to the mansion, she wants you to enter the palace."

Wind-ling curtsied, and only then did the official depart.

"Xier pays her respects to Mother Empress."

The imperial noble consort hurriedly helped her to sit down, "These courtesies are unnecessary between us. It's been a while since we last met, how come you've lost weight"

Feng Lingxi was slightly surprised. She glanced at herself. She had so many clothes on, she hadn't seen her slim down before. Could it be that she lost weight after being poisoned

"Mother, Xi'er has been eating well. Perhaps because you haven't seen me in a few days, you think I've lost weight."

The Shutai concubine gently held her hand, lightly patted the back of her hand, and looked at Feng Lingxi's delicate face with her eyes full of pity.

"Xier, these past few days, you've really been wronged."

"Mother, why did you suddenly say such things to Xi'er Xi'er doesn't feel wronged."

She was very happy living in the manor, without worldly concerns or so many rules and etiquette, it was wonderful.

"Your poisoning, Cheng'er told your mother. Your mother knows you are different from other daughters-in-law, but even if you know medicine, you still need to be soft in places where you should be, don't show off too much, lest you be plotted against."

"Mother's teachings, Xi'er will always bear in mind."

Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, the Imperial Consort was moved. She really wanted to say something to her, but she couldn't bear to.

"Mother Consort, Xier's poison has been cured, and she is now fine."

"Mother, I understand. Don't rush to conceive and give birth for now. Take good care of your health."

Windling looked at her mother's understanding, feeling quite comforted.

She was also worried that her mother would urge her to have a child, it seemed she really didn't understand her mother.

Xi'er understands, the poison has been cured, but her body still needs to be properly recuperated. After entering the palace, Xi'er will explain the matter to the Empress Dowager. Firstly, it is an explanation to the Empress Dowager, and secondly, it is also a way for herself to take a breath.

"If you can think that way, Mother will rest easy."

Shu Taifei took Feng Lingxi's hand, looked at the worry beneath her beautiful eyes, and with a loving gaze, softly asked, "Xi'er, if you have anything to say to your mother, just say it. Your mother is not one of those old-fashioned women. Just tell me what's on your mind."

"Mother, I…"

Feng Lingxi's words stuck in her throat. Meeting her mother's loving gaze, she suddenly felt guilty. Her mother was so tolerant of her; in this era, and even in her own time, there were few mothers-in-law like hers.

"Just say whatever you want, Empress Dowager. I'm listening."

"Mother, Xi'er wants to have a child naturally, not deliberately. With the current situation, even if she has a child, it would be difficult to guarantee his safety. Xi'er doesn't want to worry Dugu City." Dugu Xiu's existence wasn't their biggest threat. Feng Yu Xi and Dugu Yu, these two who were deeply hidden, she had never been able to figure out who was behind them.

"Mother knows, you and Cheng'er will handle this yourselves. You are young and have plenty of chances to have children. Just take care of your health, that is more important than anything else. Mother understands the current situation, having a child early has both advantages and disadvantages for you. Plan carefully yourselves."

Feng Ling's eyes welled up with tears. Looking at her mother concubine's loving gaze, she truly felt that having such a mother concubine, she was incredibly fortunate.

"Thank you, Mother."

Shu Taifei stroked her hair, "Have dinner with me tonight. I haven't seen the two of you for a long time, and I miss you dearly."

Feng Lingxi nodded, took Empress Shu's wrist, and felt her pulse to check on her recovery. Fortunately, there were no abnormalities, so Feng Lingxi was relieved.

"Mother, there are some good medicinal herbs on the cliffs of the manor. When I finish processing them, I'll make some medicated meals for you to help regulate your body."

The Imperial Noble Consort nodded, always showing great favor to this daughter-in-law.

"Xier, the Empress Dowager bestowed quite a few things upon you. Your mother has had them all sent to your chambers. You should go back and have a look yourself. There are also several sets of garments for the banquet, she says you can choose one you like to wear."

Feng Lingxi nodded. Even though Empress Cen was kind to her, it wasn't the same feeling as what she had with her own mother.

“Mother Empress, you will attend the banquet for these envoys If this one does something improper at that time, Mother Empress must tell me so I can avoid bringing shame upon you.”

"Since the Empress summoned you this time, I presume she will explain everything clearly. You'll know what to do once you return."

Feng Lingxi responded and returned to her own bedroom from Empress Shu's. As expected, she saw the gold and silver jewelry bestowed by the empress dowager, as well as a few sets of luxurious banquet gowns. However, Feng Lingxi didn't feel much about these things. To her, wearing these elaborate clothes to banquets would only attract attention; she'd rather have a plain set of clothes.

"My Queen, you seem to be in a rather low mood"

Xiao Li followed behind the Princess, ever since they returned from Empress Dowager Shu's residence, the Princess' eyes held a worried gaze, which made Xiao Li very anxious.

"Xiao Li, are you saying I haven't done well enough As a daughter-in-law, shouldn't I consider giving my mother-in-law a grandchild"

"How could the Princess have such an idea Even Imperial Noble Consort hasn't blamed you."

Feng Ling sighed softly, "It's because my mother treats me so well that I have these thoughts. I always feel like I'm not a qualified daughter-in-law."
