Chapter 825: Frost Flower 15
time, he'll be worried. I wanted to give him a heads up and let him know I'm safe. After all, it's not like I can't call him brother emperor, right"Xiao Li sighed, "The Princess treats him like an el..."Body feeling frosty"
Feng Lingxi looked at Princess Pingnan in confusion. Seeing her nod, Feng Lingxi's gaze deepened, falling into thought.
This is clearly the symptom of frost flower's poison. If Dugu Su is right, this frost flower's poison was put down by Empress Cen. The poison on Pingnan Princess, could it be related to Empress Cen
Pingnan Wangfei thought Feng Lingxi didn't believe her, and opened her mouth to say, "Fourth Princess, don't you believe what I said"
Feng Lingxi looked at the sincerity on her face, "I didn't lie to you, although the weather is a bit hot now, but my body isn't."
Pingnan Wangfei reached out and grabbed Feng Lingxi's hand. Her touch sent a chill down her spine, for the other woman's hand was ice cold, devoid of any warmth.
Feng Lingxi drew her hand back and said softly, "Princess Pingnan, I have a general understanding of your poison, but it's rather troublesome. I need to study it carefully to see if it's the same as the one I know about."
"It's alright," said the Princess Consort of Pingnan with a smile, "This poison, even the imperial physicians say there's no cure. Only Simu said that Fourth Royal Highness' medical skills are superb, so I came to try."
"The young master Xiao's filial piety is commendable, and the Princess Pingnan's teachings are excellent."
If the poison on this Pingnan Princess is related to the Empress Dowager, then she...this poison, I don't know if it should be cured.
"Simu is a good child. Wangye and I only have him as a child. My greatest wish is for him to live a good life. As for other things, I dare not think too much."
Princess Pingnan's words seemed to imply something, Feng Lingxi guessed, but she dared not delve deeper.
"Rest assured, Your Highness, Prince Xiao is exceptionally intelligent. He will surely fulfill your wishes in the future."
Pingnan Wangfei smiled, looking at Feng Lingxi's eyes full of tenderness.
"Your Highness, Princess Pingnan, would you perhaps come to my chambers for a moment I'd like to have a look at your knee."
Pingnan Princess smiled and nodded, following Feng Lingxi back to her residence. Feng Lingxi had Xiaoli watch the door, then lifted her skirt and took a silver needle, piercing her knee. Looking at the silver needle that instantly frosted over, her phoenix eyes were covered with a layer of coldness.
As expected, it was the Frost Flower. But in such a short time, why is there such a difference in the onset of the poison for Princess Pingnan and Duke Duolun
"What did the imperial physicians say They said there's no cure, but they also said it could have some effects on your body"
Feng Lingxi inquired about the doubts in her heart. If the answer coincided with that of Dugu Su, then the frost flower poison could be confirmed. But the person who administered the poison, she still needed to verify. Between Pingnan Wangfei and Empress Cen, there shouldn't be such a deep hatred.
The imperial physician said, "As long as you endure the period of toxicity, and manage to stabilize yourself, you can live for another year. Year after year, how many years you live depends on the condition of the toxin's outbreak within your body."
Feng Lingxi nodded, confirming it was the frost flower without a doubt.
"Your Highness, Princess Pingnan, would you be willing to lend me a few drops of your blood"
Feng Lingxi looked at her finger, seeing Pingnan Wangfei reach out and, after pricking it with a needle, squeeze out a few drops of blood. Watching the fresh blood fall into the vessel, Feng Lingxi carefully compared and studied it. The color of the blood showed no signs of poisoning, and there was also no coagulation phenomenon.
That is to say, this poison was shallow within her body. Upon inspection, it was indeed the Frost Blossom, but this Frost Blossom did not solidify blood. This was the first time Feng Lingxi had encountered such a strange poison.
"Princess Pingnan, I understand your situation. I will research it and let you know when I have a suitable antidote."
The Pingnan Princess hurried to her feet and bowed to Feng Lingxi, "Then thank you, Fourth Princess."
Feng Lingxi nodded and sent the Princess Pingnan out. The two chatted about what happened after the poison attack in the garden, learning about the time the Luoshuo flower had been on Princess Pingnan. Feng Lingxi thought that this Luoshuo flower poison, she was afraid she would have to ask Dugu Su about it.
"The Fourth King's martial arts are superb, and I am willing to bow down."
Xiao Simu lost to Dugu City, but there was no anger on his handsome face, only admiration for Dugu City.
"His Royal Highness Xiao's martial arts are not weak either. This king is truly impressed. Given time, he will surely surpass this king."
Xiao Simu clearly concealed his martial arts. Fighting him, I probably only used 70% of my strength.
Xiao Si smiled and said, “Fourth Prince, you flatter me. I will try my best to catch up to you.”
Dugu Cheng sheathed his long sword and looked at Feng Lingxi who was walking over. He said to Xiao Simu, "It seems like they're done talking, let's go over."
Xiao Simu hurried to keep up with Dugucheng's pace. Seeing Feng Lingxi and her mother, Xiao Simu hurriedly stepped forward and supported her mother, softly saying, "Mother concubine, are you feeling unwell"
Pingnan Wangfei patted his back reassuringly, "Don't worry, with Siwangfei here, everything will be alright."
Xiao Simu's apprehension toward Princess Pingnan was evident to their spouses. Feng Lingxi observed Xiao Simu's actions as a display of filial piety from her son towards his mother.
"Prince Xiao, I've never encountered the poison your mother-in-law suffered from. It requires some time. I've asked all the necessary questions and have a general understanding."
Feng Lingxi said, seeing Xiao Simu respond, the loss in her eyes, and the words she had to say went back into her throat. She would wait until she asked clearly before explaining the matter of Luoshang Hua Du to him. If it was related to the Empress Dowager, she did not dare to diagnose it herself.
Xiao Simu bowed to Feng Lingxi and said, "Thank you, Fourth Princess, for being willing to see my mother."
Since I have agreed, I will certainly try to understand, but whether or not I can solve it, I make no guarantees.
Xiao Simu nodded, looking at his mother's pale face, the pain in his eyes made people feel distressed. Princess Anping held Xiao Simu's hand, her eyes comforting him. She had known the result long ago, this was all expected.
"Xier, do you know what kind of poison it is"
Dugu City asked in a low voice, looking at Xiao Simu's eyes, he actually wanted to help him. Perhaps this King of Pingnan could still work under his command.
"Unsure."
Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Cheng, her eyes struggling. Seeing this, Dugu Cheng was very surprised. Xi'er said she was uncertain, it seemed that things were really tricky.
"Fourth Royal Wife, you have already helped me a lot."
The Princess Consort of Pingnan spoke softly, "This poison, even the imperial physicians say there's no cure. Every day we have is a gift from Heaven. Don't force it."
Xiao Simu heard this, her eyes reddened, and she bowed to Feng Lingxi, "Fourth Royal Highness, I beg you to spare your effort and save my mother."
Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, and Xiao Simu's expression finally improved a little. Dugu Cheng changed the subject, "It's time for dinner, let's go."
The atmosphere became so oppressive, but now, he didn't know the situation at all. He would wait until he figured it out before making any plans.
After sending off Princess Pingnan and Xiao Simu, Dugu City finally found a chance to speak with Feng Lingxi alone. Looking at how Xi'er treated Xiao Simu and Princess Pingnan today, Dugu City knew that the poison of this Princess Pingnan was very tricky.
"Xier, is it the fallen frost flower"
Feng Lingxi nodded, her expression turning serious. "I didn't agree to help Pingnan Wangfei with the antidote immediately because I wanted to find out who poisoned her with the Frostflower."
Du Gu Cheng furrowed his brow, "Du Gu Su was ordered by Empress Cen. You suspect that the one placed on Pingnan Princess is..."t up and walked in front of her. Luo Juzhou instinctively took two steps back, looking at Feng Lingxi's eyes full of murderous intent."There are many who want to kill me, but you, being this foolish,...
