the King, "Your Highness, actually, the King truly misses you. The day he learned about your fall, he went to fight with Sixth Prince, almost killing him. After returning, he was severely injured and..."Your Lordship, Consort Shu and the Fourth Princess are here to see you."
The King of Su, seated in his wheelchair, heard the sound and lifted his head to look at Shu Taifei and Feng Lingxi. His face grew even paler and more bloodless. He nodded towards them as a sign of respect.
"Your Highness, the King of Su."
Feng Lingxi shouted, staring into the eyes of King Su and not leaving his gaze.
"Your Highness, the Shu Taifei and the Fourth Princess have arrived in the front hall." The voice was as soft as a whisper. With her delicate bones outlined by her movements, Feng Ling Xi walked before him, "Prince Su..."
Du Gu Su instinctively retracted his hand, his expression tense, "Fourth Princess Consort, are you frightened"
"Your Highness, the Prince of Su, you misunderstood. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to see your hand."
Dugusu refused.
The Empress Dowager signaled Feng Lingxi not to lean so close to King Su, and then said to Duke Gu Su, "Your Highness, Xier knows a bit about medicine. She just wants to take a look at your body and help you regulate it."
Feng Lingxi nodded in agreement, looking at the panicked look in King Su's eyes, she felt a strange pang of sympathy for him.
“It’s my medical way, I scared King Su, I’m truly sorry.”
Then Dugu Su looked at Feng Lingxi, his handsome eyes were full of complexity. He struggled for a while, stretched out his hand, and looked at Feng Lingxi, asking her to take a look.
Feng Lingxi had thought that Dugu Su would refuse her treatment. After all, Dugu Su had been in the capital for so long, if he had a problem, he should have refused her treatment.
Unless he was truly poisoned, and the person behind Fengyu Xi was not him.
"Imperial Noble Consort Shu, please come to the front hall for tea."
Feng Lingxi looked at Shu Taifei and Li Guanjia, and said, "Mother Concubine, you go to the front hall to drink tea. I will help Prince Su take a look. The air here is better, and Prince Su will relax a bit."
The Duchess of Shu looked at Li the Butler, "Li Butler, if you need anything in the future, just speak up. With how things are in this Su Wangfu, why didn't you say anything these years..."
Feng Lingxi looked at Du Gu Su while listening to Shu Taifei and Li Guanjia talk about the past, and ordered Xiao Li, "Go to the kitchen and boil some hot water."
After driving the others away, Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Su. She looked at his hands resting on his knees and said lightly, "Prince Dugu, I won't look at the poison on you."
Dugu Su looked at Feng Ling Xi's eyes suddenly became deep, turning to become sharp eyes made Feng Ling Xi smile.
"Your Highness, Prince Su, I believe you already know the reason for my visit today."
"Is it good to know but not to speak"
Seeing Feng Ling Xi nod, Dugu Su's eyes returned to normal and he signaled for Feng Ling Xi to sit down.
It is rumored that the Fourth Royal Consort's medical skills are exceptional. This King knows he can't hide anything from the Fourth Royal Consort, and I also know about your status as the Sacred Master of the Yao Clan and the transaction between you and the current Empress Dowager.
Feng Lingxi smiled, her beautiful eyes swirling as she looked at Dugu Su.
"To know without expressing."
獨孤蘇笑著點點頭，“I like talking to intelligent people.”
Feng Lingxi looked at the smile on his face, and was even more curious about the several brothers of Dugu City. They were all not easy to deal with, but she just didn't know what Dugu Su's purpose was.
The throne, or for revenge
"There's a question I'd like to ask King Su, I wonder if you could tell me, is the current state of the Su residence meant to conceal it from the Empress Dowager"
Dugu Su, "Yes, this king did it to conceal the truth, but rest assured, Your Highness, I don't want the throne. We won't be enemies."
The seriousness in her eyes made Feng Lingxi smile.
She sounded like she was after the throne.
But, she was content just knowing that he wasn't her enemy.
"Then do you need me to take a look at your leg Perhaps..."
Dugu Su glanced at his own leg. The sorrow in his eyes was impossible to erase, which made Feng Lingxi frown. She wanted to say something, but he interrupted her.
"There is no antidote to this poison."
"You didn't even try, how do you know it's impossible"
Feng Ling xi looked at his legs, unless the poison was cured, or he didn't want to live.
Duolun Su didn't answer her, but instead looked at his legs, his hands placed on top gently caressing them, his eyes filled with sadness and hopelessness.
No need.
Wind Ling Xi wanted to advise him, but the words reached her lips and then she swallowed them back down, not knowing what to say.
"Could Queen Four help this King with a favor"
Feng Lingxi nodded. Dugu Su said, “Report truthfully to the Empress Dowager, this King’s poison is already incurable.”
獨孤蘇看著她，“想必四王妃也能看得出來，本王的時日也不多了。”
翻譯成英文是:Du Gu Su looked at her, “I presume the Fourth Princess can also see that this King’s time is running out.”
Feng Lingxi wanted to say, she couldn't see it, this Dugu Su was hiding it very well. His current appearance did look like he was critically ill, but his instantly sharp eyes told her otherwise.
But, Dugu Su said, they were not enemies, so she didn't probe further.
"Okay."
Feng Lingxi agreed to Dugu Su, was it because she didn't want trouble, or was it because his past made her sympathize with him Maybe it was because she felt there was no need to get involved in the conflict. After all, she wanted to stay out of their grievances.
"If there is any need in the future, this king can still be of help, and will certainly repay the fourth princess' kindness."
Dugu Su smiled. Feng Ling Xi could agree to not investigate further, and he was satisfied with that.
You're welcome.
Feng Lingxi stayed at the Su Wangfu for an hour before leaving. When Shutai returned, she had people send daily necessities and some silver to the Su Wangfu. Word reached the palace, and Taimu Empress learned of this. After verification, she sent some silver to the Su Wangfu, lest people say that the imperial court was neglecting them.
Feng Lingxi informed Empress Cen of Su Wang's situation. Empress Cen disregarded both Feng Lingxi's words and the confirmations gathered from external investigations. It was precisely because of this that Su Wang's matter was left unresolved.
Feng Lingxi's life returned to peace. On ordinary days, she would tend to her flowers and herbs at home. In the blink of an eye, it had been over ten days since the incident with King Su.
Since she'd been relaxing, Feng Ling Xi had gained some weight. Her complexion was much better than before. However, the April weather had already started to warm up. When Feng Ling Xi woke up from a nap, Xiao Li walked in with a bowl of fresh fish soup. Seeing that the princess was awake, she smiled and said, "Your Highness, Concubine Shu sent me to bring you this fish soup. She says it's made from carp caught in early spring and is good for nourishing your body."
Feng Lingxi got up and walked over, catching the scent of fish soup. Suddenly, her stomach churned, and she felt nauseous from the fishy smell.
"Ugh..."
Feng Ling hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. This sudden nausea took her aback, and when she reacted, she immediately checked her pulse.
Xiao Li looked at the queen's reaction, overjoyed. "Your Majesty, you wouldn't be…"
Feng Lingxi thought she was pregnant. After taking her pulse, however, she couldn't feel a second pulse. Her eyes dimmed with disappointment.
"She didn't get pregnant."
Let's count the days. If she were pregnant, we should be able to tell by now. However, her period hasn't come yet. Feng Lingxi still has a glimmer of hope in her heart. If it doesn't arrive in three or five days, perhaps she really is pregnant.nderestimated Fourth Sister's abilities."No wonder Feng Lingxi isn't at the palace. With Dugu Cheng able to come out, it must be her doing. Besides her, no one could get Dugu Cheng released from Dugu...
