Chapter 862: Falling Frost Flower 52
tances herself from him, even acting against him.Dugu Yan clenched her fists, the coldness in her eyes piercing."Have the Fourth Prince wait in the Imperial Study. I have something to discuss with his...Feng Lingxi looked at Su Wang's serious expression and spoke, "I'm not sure yet who poisoned me, but it's very likely to be your future princess."
Looking at the shock in Dugu Su's eyes, Feng Lingxi looked serious, "Yesterday, Princess Luo came to the mansion. When she shook my hand, my hand suddenly ached. I was a little puzzled at the time but didn't care much. I checked my pulse and there were no signs of poisoning then, and even now, it's the same."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Su's earnest expression and continued, "Afterwards, I suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented. That's when I found this mark on my hand."
"Luju Zhou."
Dugu Su said, Feng Lingxi nodded slightly, looking at Dugu Su's expression, she seemed to truly not know about this.
"Your Highness, King Su, to be frank with you, the main reason I came here today is to confirm if this is indeed the mark of frost flower poison."
"No."
Dugu Su's voice was firm, "From the moment I was poisoned, there has never been any trace on my body. Yours, should be a different poison. As for what kind of poison it is, this king doesn't know either."
Feng Lingxi took a deep breath, “No matter what, thank you, King Su, for telling me.”
"This king has heard that before the incident with the Luo Ju Boat, you had feelings for the fourth brother. Could it be that this is why you poisoned the fourth princess"
Feng Lingxi was slightly stunned, looking at Dugu City beside her. Seeing him frown, she explained, "Second Brother, this king and Luo Juzhou have no feelings for each other. What she does is her own business."
"This king knows, but he just feels that the Fourth Royal Concubine has been implicated and is somewhat wronged by this. He never expected that Luo Juzhou's heart would be so vicious, yet this king must marry her as his consort."
Dugu Su's voice was filled with discontent, Feng Lingxi could hear it. Although he said so, she could sense that he wasn't happy about marrying Luo Juzhou. Perhaps it was out of necessity, or maybe he was just acting for her benefit.
"I only suspect it was her, but it's also possible it wasn't."
Feng Lingxi's words had just fallen when Dugu Su spoke, "Fourth Royal Princess, don't bother explaining for her. This King knows what's going on."
Dugu Su looked at Feng Lingxi, “The poison on your wrist, this King will help you find out the truth. If it is indeed her doing, this King will give the Fourth Princess a proper explanation.”
Feng Lingxi hastily thanked him, looking into Du Gu Su's eyes that were filled with coldness. It seemed he was truly angry.
This action of Luo Juzhou truly angered Dugu Su.
Stepping out of the Su Wangfu, Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, "Did I not say about Luo Juzhou I seem to have made Su Wang dislike Luo Juzhou."
Dugu City took her hand, "Did you notice Er Ge's reaction just now Actually, he wasn't angry, but... it seemed like he hadn't met his expectations."
Wind Lingxi's eyes were full of doubt, "Do you mean that this poison was given to me by Dugu Su"
Perhaps as you say, it is or it isn't.
Feng Lingxi was confused. How come this Dugu City started to beat around the bush
As soon as the two returned to Prince Si's Manor, they heard that Luo Juzhou had arrived. They glanced at each other and hurried into the manor.
Luo Ju Zhou sat in the front hall, her hands clenched together, a worried expression on her face. When she saw Feng Ling Xi and Du Gu Cheng return, she immediately got up and walked over.
"Your Highness, Fourth Princess, and Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, you're finally back."
"Lady Luoyang, is there something you need from me"
Feng Lingxi watched as Luo Junzhu walked towards Dugu City, her movements so eager to get close that Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, feeling quite displeased.
It seems this woman is still putting on a show.
"Lady Luo, if you have something to say, please speak directly. There's no need to rely on others to speak for you."
Feng Ling reached out to stop Luo Ju Zhou, looking at her reddened eyes and smiling faintly.
Luo Juzhou hadn't even reached Dugu City when Feng Lingxi intercepted him, her expression hardening. He froze, daring not make another move.
"Fourth Princess, may I speak with Brother Cheng in private for a few words"
Lu Ju Zhou looked at Du Gu Cheng, tears swirling in her eyes. My pitiful appearance made people feel heartache and pity just by looking at it.
"Miss Luo is about to marry King Su, so say whatever you want in front of Xi'er. This way, it avoids suspicion and is good for both you and me." Duguxing's tone was cold, even keeping a distance from her. Such rejection made Luo Juzhou's tears spin even more in her eyes, splashing down from the corners of her eyes, making Fenglingxi frown.
"Lady Luo, you must have suffered a great injustice to be shedding tears like this. Anyone who didn't know better would think that this princess had wronged you."
Feng Lingxi's words carried a hint of displeasure. She reached out and grasped Luo Juzhou's hand, looking at her slender, pale little hand, and gently patted it, "Don't worry, Miss Luo, this princess and A Cheng just returned from the Duke of Su's mansion. The Duke of Su is a kind man. Once you marry him, as you said, he will treat you like a precious treasure."
Tears streamed down Luojugu's face as she knelt before Dugu Cheng.
"City brother, you have to save me, I... I really can't do this, I can't marry the King of Su, I..."
Feng Lingxi frowned, suddenly changed her mind and seemed like a different person. What kind of trick was Luo Juzhou playing this time
Why, you agreed to this marriage yourself. Could it be that you find the King of Su disagreeable
Luo Ju's eyes were welling up with tears, her voice trembling as she stammered, "I... I am no longer pure."
Hearing this news, Feng Lingxi's eyes widened, looking at Du Gucheng's furrowed brows. This news was simply shocking.
When
Dugu City quickly composed himself. Luo Ju Zhou cried and stepped forward wanting to hug Dugu City's legs, but he instinctively stepped back, avoiding her touch. This kind of disdain made Luo Ju Zhou cry even harder.
"Miss Luo, please speak up. This makes it easy to misunderstand."
Feng Lingxi soothed, standing beside Dugu City. However, her eyes never left Luo Juzhou. Every move she made was suspicious. Ever since she saw Dugu City, Luo Juzhou had longed to touch him.
Feng Lingxi thought to herself, when she touched him yesterday, he was probably thinking about poisoning Dugu City.
Luo Ju Zhou watched Feng Ling Xi help her up, wanting to refuse but couldn't express it, she could only get up, tearful eyes watching Du Gu Cheng, but being ignored by Du Gu Cheng.
"Brother Cheng, I…"
The moment Lu Ju Zhou opened her mouth, she burst into tears.
Feng Lingxi frowned and said to Dugu City, "Let me talk to her. After all, she's a unmarried girl, and it's not appropriate for her to talk to you about these things. You should first go and pay your respects to your mother. Then, ask the kitchen to prepare some food."
Du Gu Cheng worriedly glanced at Feng Ling Xi, preparing to leave. Luo Ju Zhou hurriedly called out, "City Brother, Zhou'er wants to tell you something."
"It's not proper for you to tell me about this. You should speak to Xi'er instead."
Dugu City left behind a sentence and left without looking back, leaving Luo Ju Zhou there to burst into tears. But Dugu City didn't mean to turn back at all.
"Luo Junzhu, don't cry. A-Cheng is a man, he doesn't understand what you're saying. Tell this Queen, and I'll give you advice."
Luo Ju Zhou looked at Feng Ling Xi's virtuous and elegant appearance, and couldn't help but feel furious.
It's all her fault that things went wrong. Otherwise, she would have talked to Brother Cheng.ng Lingxi walked to Zhang You's face, her eyes full of disappointment."Zhang You, why are you running away""My Queen, I..."In the flickering firelight, Zhang You's eyes sparkled. He instinctively pul...
