Chapter 824: Falling Frost Flower 14

gaze fixed on Dugu Cheng who had entered. She couldn't fathom his intentions this time."Xier, Lady Liu is still your mother's person. She's so old and kneeling before you. Give her a chance to redeem..."Body covered in frost"

Feng Lingxi looked at the Pingnan Princess in confusion. Seeing her nod, Feng Lingxi's eyes sank and she fell into contemplation.

This is clearly the case of Luoshanghua's poison taking effect. If Dugusu said it right, this Luoshanghua's poison was put there by Empress Cen. Could this Pingnan Princess's poisoning be related to Empress Cen

"Fourth Princess, do you not believe what I said" Pingnan's Royal Concubine asked, seeing that Feng Lingxi seemed unconvinced.

Feng Ling Xi looked at the sincerity on her face, "I didn't lie to you. Although the weather is a bit hot now, my body isn't."

Pingnan Wangfei reached out and grabbed Feng Lingxi's hand. Her touch was icy cold, without a shred of warmth.

Feng Lingxi drew back her hand and said softly, "Princess Pingnan, I have a general understanding of your poison. It's just that this poison is rather troublesome. I need to study it carefully to see if it's the same as the one I know."

Pingnan Wangfei smiled and said, “It's alright, this poison, the imperial physicians all say there is no cure. Only Simu said that Fourth Wangfei’s medical skills are exquisite, so I came to try.”

"The Prince Xiao's filial piety is admirable, and the Princess Pingnan's teachings are exemplary."

If the poison on this Pingnan Princess's body is related to the Empress Dowager, she doesn't know whether or not to cure it.

"Si Mu is a good child. The King and I only have him as our son. My greatest wish is for him to live a good life. As for everything else, I dare not think too much."

Pingnan Wangfei's words seemed to hint at something. Feng Lingxi guessed, but she didn't dare to investigate further.

"Rest assured, Princess Consort of Pingnan. Prince Xiao is exceptionally intelligent and will surely fulfill your wishes in the future."

Pingnan Princess smiled, looking at Feng Lingxi's eyes full of tenderness.

"Princess Pingnan, I wonder if you could come to my room for a moment I'd like to take a look at your knee."

Princess Pingnan smiled and nodded, following Feng Lingxi back to her residence. Feng Lingxi had Xiaoli watch the door, lifted her skirt, and took a silver needle to pierce her knee. Looking at the silver needle instantly frosted with frost, a cold light appeared in her phoenix eyes.

It was indeed the Frost Flower. But in such a short time, why did the onset of poisoning for Princess Pingnan and Duke Dugu Su differ so greatly

"What did the imperial physician say He said it's incurable, but he also mentioned some potential effects on the body"

Feng Lingxi asked out her doubts, if the answer was the same as that of Dugu Su, then the poison of falling frost flowers could be confirmed, but she still had to confirm who poisoned it. Between Pingnan Princess and Empress Cen, there shouldn't be such a deep hatred.

The imperial physician said, "As long as you endure the period of detoxification, and manage to stabilize your condition, you can live for another year. Year after year, how many years you live depends on the severity of the toxin within your body."

Feng Lingxi nodded, confirming that it was indeed the falling frost flower.

"Princess Pingnan, could you spare a few drops of your blood"

Feng Lingxi looked at her finger, seeing Pingnan Wangfei reach out and prick it with a needle. After squeezing out a few drops of blood from her finger, she watched as the blood fell 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, the poison was shallow in her body. It was clearly frostflower, but this frostflower did not solidify the blood. This was the first time Feng Ling Xi had encountered such a strange poison.

"Princess Pingnan, I understand your situation. I'll research it and let you know when I have a suitable antidote."

Princess Pingnan hurriedly got up and thanked Feng Lingxi, “Then thank you, Fourth Princess.”

Feng Lingxi nodded and sent the Pingnan Princess out. The two chatted in the garden for a while about what had happened after the poison took effect, learning about how long the Falling Frost Flower had been on the Pingnan Princess. Feng Lingxi thought, this Falling Frost Flower poison, she was afraid she would have to ask Du Gu Su before she knew anything about it.

"The Fourth King's martial arts are so powerful, I am humbled."

Xiao Simu lost to Dugu City, but there was no anger on his handsome face, only admiration for Dugu City.

"Prince Xiao's martial arts are not weak either, this prince was truly enlightened. In time, he will surely surpass this prince."

This Xiao Simu obviously concealed his martial arts. Fighting him, I'm afraid he only used seven points of strength.

Xiao Si smiled and said, "Fourth Prince, you flatter me. I will do my best to catch up to Fourth Prince."

Dugu Cheng sheathed his sword and looked at Feng Lingxi as she walked over. He said to Xiao Simu, "It seems they're finished talking. Let's go over there."

Xiao Simu hurriedly followed Dugu City's footsteps. Seeing Feng Lingxi and her mother concubine, Xiao Simu immediately stepped forward to support her mother concubine and softly said, "Mother concubine, are you feeling unwell"

"Pingnan Wangfei patted his hand reassuringly, "Don't worry, with the Fourth Wangfei here, everything will be fine."

Xiao Simu's nervousness toward Princess Pingnan didn't escape their eyes. As for Xiao Simu's actions, Feng Lingxi saw it as his son's filial piety towards his mother.

"Young Master Xiao, the poison of your mother concubine is something I've never encountered before. It will take some time. I've asked all the necessary questions and learned everything I can."

Feng Lingxi said, seeing Xiao Simu answer, the loss in her eyes, the words that were about to come out of her mouth swallowed back. She would wait until she asked clearly before explaining the matter of Luoshuang Hua Du to him. If it had something to do with the Empress Dowager, she did not dare to diagnose herself presumptuously.

Xiao Simu bowed to Feng Lingxi and said, "Thank you, Fourth Princess, for being willing to see my mother."

"Since I've agreed, I will certainly try to understand. However, 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 Ping'an 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 poison it is"

Dugu City asked in a low voice, looking at Xiao Simu's eyes, it made him want to help him. Perhaps this Pingnan King could still help him under his command.

"Unsure."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, her eyes struggling. Seeing this, Dugu City was very surprised. Xi'er said she was uncertain, it seemed to be really troublesome.

"Fourth Royal Consort, you have already helped me a great deal."

The Princess Consort of Pingnan spoke, her voice soft, "Even the imperial physician said there is no cure for this poison. Every day we live is a gift from heaven, do not force it."

Xiao Simu's eyes reddened upon hearing this, and she bowed to Feng Lingxi. "Fourth Royal Highness, I implore you to spare no effort in saving my mother."

Wind Ling responded with a voice, and Xiao Simu's expression finally improved a little. Dugu Cheng changed the subject, "It's time for dinner, let's go."

The atmosphere had become so oppressive, but now he didn't know what was going on. He would wait until he figured things out before making any plans.

After seeing off Pingnan Wangfei and Xiao Simu, Du Gucheng finally found the opportunity to speak with Feng Lingxi alone. Looking at how Xi'er treated Xiao Simu and Pingnan Wangfei today, Du Gucheng knew that the poison of this Pingnan Wangfei was tricky.

"Xi'er, is it the falling frost flower"

Feng Lingxi nodded, her expression turning serious. "I didn't immediately agree to help the Pingnan Princess with the antidote because I wanted to figure out who had used the Frost Flower poison."

Dugu Cheng frowned, "Dugu Su's was from Empress Cen. You suspect the one belonging to Pingnan Wangfei is..." way, they can't even see the Saintess, let alone discuss important matters of the tribe."Tomorrow I will go down the mountain and return to Linxi County to celebrate the New Year. All family matters,...
