Chapter 521 Conspiracy 8
ious waiting, Feng Lingxi still faced the day she dreaded most.Feng Lingxi arrived at the front hall and saw the man in armor seated on the main seat. Feng Lingxi's heart beat wildly, her nerves shot,..."This can't be blamed on the third brother."
Dugu Yu stood up, "I'll take you to see her."
Dugu Cheng responded and followed Dugu Yu to Feng Lingxi's courtyard. Seeing the maidservant guarding the door, Dugu Cheng's eyes flashed with a cold light. Xi'er was indeed imprisoned here, no wonder she would poison the third princess.
Pushing open the door, Feng Lingxi heard the noise and hurriedly lay down. Xiao Li quickly took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from the princess's forehead. Seeing Duguyu walking in, her gaze fell on the prince behind him, and she excitedly got up and shouted, "Your Highness, you are finally here."
Dugu Cheng saw Xi'er lying on the bed, quickly walked to the bedside, squatted down, anxiously looking at Feng Lingxi's slightly pale face, turned his head and asked Dugu Yu, "Third brother, what's wrong with Xi'er"
"She caught a cold and had a fever, but this King has already had the imperial physician treat her, and the fever has subsided."
Du Gu Cheng held Feng Ling Xi's hand, and he felt her scratch his palm. Du Gu Cheng felt something on his palm, and unconsciously looked at Xi Er who was closing her eyes. Was this a note for him
Feng Ling Xi slowly opened her eyes, looking at Du Gu Cheng. She sat up, and Du Gu Cheng hurriedly helped her sit down. "Xi'er, this King is here."
"Thought I'd never see you again."
Feng Lingxi smiled at him, her weak appearance making Dugu City's heart ache. "Don't talk nonsense, catching a cold and having a fever is normal. Don't overthink it, this king is here, isn't he"
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City's haggard appearance. Even his beard was starting to grow, and his exhaustion pained her. "These past few days, I've worried you. How is your mother Have you found her"
獨孤城 shook his head, "Not yet, but I already know who took her. This king will find out and rescue my mother."
Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu Yu, "Third Prince, I want to speak with Dugu Cheng. Could you please step aside"
Dugu Yu looked at Feng Ling Xi, "When will you give this king's beloved concubine the antidote"
"Xiao Li, you go and see the Third Princess."
Feng Lingxi instructed, Xiao Li hastily rose and bowed to Duguo Yu, "Third Prince, this servant will go now."
Dugu Yu looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes filled with doubt as he gazed at Xiaoli, "Can she cure the poison"
"Xiao Li is my personal maid, of course she knows."
Only then did Dugu Yu take Xiaoli out, leaving them alone in the room. Feng Lingxi hurriedly got up, her previous weak appearance gone.
"He didn't give you a hard time, did he"
Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's anxiety, shook his head, and Feng Ling Xi hugged him, leaning against his shoulder, whispered, "Dugu Yu kidnapped me here, he has ulterior motives, don't believe what he says."
"This king knows, Xi'er rest assured, this king knows what to do."
Feng Lingxi lay on his shoulder, looking very weak. Her eyes looked out the window and she saw several pairs of eyes watching her. It seemed that Dugou Yu hadn't spared anyone to keep an eye on her every move.
"As a maidservant, you even know how to antidote the poison your own princess put down. You've learned quite a bit following the Fourth Princess, haven't you"
Dugu Yu asked Xiaoli, Xiaoli explained, "The Third Prince doesn't know, my mistress's poison was concocted by her herself. Even if the maidservant learns to understand this kind of poison, if the mistress prepares it, the antidote the maidservant has learned will be useless."
It seems that the Fourth Princess's medical skills have reached a miraculous level.
Xiao Li nodded, her face beaming with pride. "My princess's medical skills are unparalleled, and her poison arts are naturally exceptional."
Dugu Yu originally wanted to ask something from this maidservant, but now it seems he has failed again. This Feng Lingxi is truly capable. Her medical skills have reached such a miraculous level. If she cannot be used for him, keeping her around would be a disaster.
Xiao Li secretly glanced at Dugu Yu's reaction, looking at the killing intent in his eyes, her gaze flashed with shrewdness. The princess was right, this Third Prince really wasn't a good person.
Thankfully, the princess was clever and knew his intentions. She had made preparations beforehand, or else they would have all died here.
Dugu Cheng supported Feng Ling Xi as she lay down, reaching out to caress her forehead with a look of concern in his eyes. "Is there anywhere else that hurts"
Feng Lingxi smiled at him. Dugu Cheng opened the note in his hand and glanced at it, knowing that Feng Lingxi was surrounded by Dugu Yu's spies, and they couldn't say much.
"Take me home, I miss home."
"Your Highness and Third Brother said they would take you home."
The maidservants at the door exchanged glances and all memorized the conversation between Dugu City and Feng Lingxi.
Little Li had been back for over an hour. It was dinner time, but because she had a high fever all day, Feng Lingxi hadn't eaten much. Now, she was quite hungry. As for Du Gucheng, he hadn't slept for days, so naturally, he hadn't eaten well either.
Dugu Yu generously prepared a sumptuous dinner for them. Seeing that the Third Princess Consort was also there, Feng Lingxi raised her cup to apologize to her, "Third Princess Consort, I'll offer you a toast as an apology. I'm sorry."
Third Princess smiled faintly, “Fourth Princess don’t say that like this. This time, Third Prince was also wrong, letting Fourth Princess be wronged. I hope Fourth Princess will forgive him.”
"It was all Dugu Xiu's doing, Dugu City told me everything. I don't blame the Third Prince, and Third Prince, let me apologize to you too. I'm sorry, I didn't know you did so much for Dugu City and even poisoned the Third Princess. It's all my fault. I punish myself with three cups and apologize to the Third Prince and Third Princess."
“We all make mistakes. Let’s just forget about the punishment, and move on.”
Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Dugu City's weary face. "Third Prince, I want to return to the capital with Dugu City. Since my mother has been taken by Dugu Xiu, the only one who can save her now is me."
"No, you can't leave. Dugu Xiu has been keeping an eye on you. As soon as you leave my side, his people will capture you, and then Taifei Shu's situation will only become more dangerous."
Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi, "Why don't you stay here for a few more days This king will go back and handle things."
"Fourth brother is right, let him handle this. You just stay here for now, Your Majesty won't make things difficult for you."
Feng Lingxi fell into deep thought. She wouldn't make things difficult for him; perhaps he had already thought of another way to deal with her. He refused to let her go, it seemed like he had already devised a plan. It was better for Dugu City to leave first, so as not to fall into his hands. Both of them would be unable to escape if they stayed.
This Dugu Yu's purpose must be the same as Dugu Xiu's, they both want the throne of the Great Yuan Dynasty. Saying that his mother was in danger under Dugu Xiu's hands is probably a smokescreen. Perhaps his mother is actually in his hands. She stayed behind, maybe she could find her mother.
"Then, Na Xi'er will disturb Third Brother here."
Dugu City held Feng Lingxi's hand, "Tomorrow morning, this king will return to the capital to continue investigating the matter of his mother concubine being kidnapped. This king and the third brother have already made plans, so you can rest assured here, waiting for this king's good news."
"Take care of yourself."
Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng sang in harmony, while Dugu Yu watched them with a smile on his face, but a cold glint lingered deep in his eyes.
