Chapter 614: Conspiracy 100

un become so meek"Xier, you shouldn't blame him for this. He just feels sorry for my deep love for you and can't bear to see me sad, so he told me...""How thoughtful, how loving!"Feng Lingxi was extre..."Your Highness, please don't be angry. I didn't say you couldn't leave the capital. I was just concerned about you and wanted to see if I could help…"

"No need."

Feng Lingxi's tone was very cold, looking at Dugu Yu, whose expression stiffened slightly. She then flashed a smile, but her eyes desperately concealed his anger. Being reprimanded like this, how could Dugu Yu's face look any better

"The Third King had best stay out of Xi'er's affairs."

Dugu City reminded, "The emperor let the third prince stay in the capital, the third prince should grasp it well. This king and Xi'er are going away this time, and this capital city won't be of much help."

Upon hearing this from Dugu Cheng, Dugu Yu narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean by that, fourth brother..."

"The Third King is incredibly wise, he'll certainly understand."

Dugu Cheng interrupted Dugu Yu and, after glancing at Xi'er's cold eyes, said calmly, "Third Prince, it would be best if you visited the Fourth Prince's Manor less often in the future. Otherwise, people might misunderstand and think that I have colluded with you. This wouldn't be good for the Third Prince."

Dugu Yan's eyes were fixed on Dugu Yu. Dugu Yu came to Si Wangfu so openly, it was inevitable that people would speculate about his purpose. Even if there wasn't anything, people probably wouldn't believe him if he said so.

Dugu Yu wasn't stupid. Although Dugu Yan left him in the capital, she was still keeping a close eye on his every move.

"Thank you, Fourth Prince, for the reminder. This King will definitely be more careful. The journey is long and it's a stormy day. Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law must be extra careful."

Dugu Yu saw Feng Lingxi didn't reply him, then turned to Dugu Cheng and said, "I heard that the Fourth Princess cured the emperor's poison, and the emperor rewarded her with many good things. I wonder if we could ask the Fourth Princess for something"

Feng Lingxi heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, "That was jewelry bestowed by the Empress Dowager, what does the Third Prince want"

"I heard that the Emperor also bestowed gifts upon the Fourth Princess, which should include top-quality medicinal herbs, such as a millennium ginseng."

"Thousand-Year Ginseng"

Feng Lingxi heard this and couldn't help but sneer.

"Third Prince, you dare to dream! A millennium ginseng The Emperor wouldn't even touch it, let alone use it. Do you think I have that kind of power to obtain such a precious herb You know, a millennium ginseng is a rare and valuable treasure, hard to come by. Even if I had one, I wouldn't give it to you."

"Such a straightforward refusal is indeed Feng Lingxi. Dugu Cheng looked at Dugu Yu's face that suddenly turned pale, and truthfully said, 'We truly don't have a thousand-year ginseng in our hands. We wonder where the Third Prince learned that the Emperor bestowed a thousand-year ginseng on Xi'er'"

Dugu Yu looked at Dugu Cheng's sincerity in his eyes, his voice choked, "You...really don't have it in your hands"

This kind of thing, this king despises lying. If it exists, it exists. If it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist.

Dugu Yu fell silent for a moment, his hand clenched under his long sleeves, his eyes struggling.

After a while, he said, "Since there isn't any, let me pretend I never asked. However, regarding the Emperor's bestowal of ginseng to the Fourth Princess, many people are aware of it. If there isn't any, we still need to refute the rumors, lest those with ill intentions target us and cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Feng Lingxi arched her brow, "Hearing you say that, I'd have to go back and ask the Emperor for a thousand-year ginseng."

Du Gu Yu's face stiffened. He was rather jealous of the confidence in her voice. Feng Ling Xi had been quite popular in the capital these past few months. Not only were the imperial physicians at the Taiping Hospital full of admiration for her, but even those inside and outside the palace acknowledged her medical skills. As a favorite of both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, she was practically above everyone else.

"The Fourth Princess, please be careful and cautious in your actions. This King has said all he needs to say. Here, I wish you a safe return and hope that your journey will be successful."

Dugu Yu clasped his hands and nodded to Feng Lingxi. Then, he turned around and left the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

"Xi'er, how did this Dugu Yu know that the Emperor had bestowed a thousand-year ginseng on you"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly, "I don't know, but I'm sure he didn't come here today to ask about ginseng. He came to test our relationship with the Emperor. It seems that the so-called alliance is unnecessary."

"Back to processing."

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, she thought the same way. Now that Du Guyu had Du Ganyi and Du Gu Xiu keeping an eye on him, it was impossible for him to live comfortably in the capital. As for her, she had been in the spotlight lately, and it seemed she had aroused envy in many people.

"It seems that staying out of the capital this year is a good thing. Perhaps, it can save me a lot of trouble."

獨孤城無奈地搖搖頭，“走吧，去山莊。”

As the two left Si Wangfu, a pair of eyes began to follow them. Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng noticed this, but they didn't intend to catch them. They just let them follow as they escorted Feng Yixuan back to Si Wangfu from the mountain villa. Feng Lingxi then detoxified Feng Yixuan and sent him back to General's Mansion.

Feng Yixuan never expected that Feng Lingxi would actually cure him and send him back to the General's Mansion.

"Yixuan, are you really alright"

At the General's Residence, Feng Aotian looked at Feng Yixuan standing before him. Overcome with excitement, he rushed forward and carefully examined him from head to toe. Only after confirming that he was unharmed did he let out a sigh of relief.

"Father, why did Feng Ling Xi suddenly heal me and send me back But what conditions did you agree to her"

Feng Yixuan hurriedly asked, when he saw Feng Lingxi appear before him, watching her give him the antidote and say she would send him back to his house, he was shocked and couldn't recover for a long time. Later, he asked Feng Lingxi why she saved him, Feng Lingxi just said, "Go back and ask father." When sending him back, Feng Lingxi also specially reminded him to be a good person in the future. The last wicked smile lingered in his mind no matter what.

He was a man who had weathered many storms, yet Feng Lingxi's final smile and gaze were something he couldn't forget.

Feng Aotian hurriedly pulled him down to sit.

"Just come back, don't ask so many questions..."

Feng Yixuan grabbed Feng Aotians's arm, his voice serious, "Father, you tell me, what did you promise Feng Lingxi She wouldn't have saved me out of the kindness of her heart."

Feng Aotien looked at the sharpness in his son's eyes and sighed, "Yi Xuan, she said this time she cured your poison and made you stop doing evil. If she comes back and finds you have done evil again, she will paralyze you for life."

Feng Yixuan's fists clenched, knuckles cracking, his eyes burning with a ferocious intensity.

"So she was leaving."

Feng Aotian hurriedly said, “Yi Xuan, please don’t be impulsive. She went to Linxi County this time, and she’ll probably be back in about three months. Just stay calm and take good care of yourself at home for these few months. Don’t go anywhere…”

"Father, with such a good opportunity, you let me rest Since she has left the capital for three months, then let her never think of setting foot in the capital again. I don't believe she has that much ability to control me even outside the capital..."

Feng Yixuan's words were cut short as a sudden pain gripped his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before collapsing unconscious. They are my children, and they have nothing to do with you."Mentioning her child, Bai Xiaoduo seemed to be transported back to that day. Her helpless pleas for mercy were in vain against the man who...
