ed, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. He moved his arms, still aching. Looking at the bandages on top, his eyes were full of bitterness. This time, he had scared Xi'er badly, causing her...Feng Lingxi saw them angry, fists clenched, her beautiful eyes swept across Zhang Taiyi's hateful gaze, and said with a sneer, "Zhang Taiyi, life and death are at stake, there is no poison that cannot be cured, let alone the emperor's poison, it can be cured, only whether everyone is willing or not."

She wanted her to personally detoxify Dugu Yan, although it wasn't a difficult task, but it was about doing it herself, and it would easily attract attention. She really disliked the feeling of being watched. Since they had a problem, then attack them.

Feng Lingxi's words caused both Empress Cen and Dugu Yan's faces to change.

"Imperial Physician Zhang, I ask you, is my poison truly incurable"

Zhang Taiyi calmly said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. I am truly powerless."

“Your Majesty, you have taken good care of their families. I believe that the Imperial Physicians will surely be able to cure Your Majesty’s poison.” As Feng Lingxi finished speaking, she clearly heard Zhang Taiyi gritting his teeth, his gaze fixed on her, as if he wanted to devour her.

"Doctor Zhang, don't blame me for reminding you, I hate being schemed against the most. You lot, since you eat imperial rice, should understand who your master is. Don't forget your gratitude."

"By Imperial decree, all the families of imperial physicians in the Taichang Hospital will be imprisoned. If they cannot cure the emperor's poison, they will all be buried with him."

The Empress Dowager was appeased.

Imperial Physician Zhang and the other physicians were frightened by the Empress Dowager's words. They knelt on the ground, trembling, "Your Majesty, we will definitely do our best to detoxify the Emperor. We just need some time. Please, Empress Dowager, show mercy and spare our families."

Wind Ling, upon hearing their words, couldn't help but sneer and shake her head.

"If things were like this, wouldn't everything be alright"

Dr. Zhang looked at Feng Lingxi, his eyes suppressing a surge of anger.

Feng Lingxi saw the anger in Zhang Taiyi's eyes, and with a smile, said to Cen Taishi, "Tai-shi, Your Majesty's poison can definitely be cured. All the imperial physicians combined are sure to have the skills of Hua Tuo in his lifetime."

Then Empress Dowager Cen's face looked a little better. She looked at the court physicians kneeling on the ground and said, “Regardless of who your masters are, I will remember all of you. The territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty belongs to the Duolu family. Anyone who dares to rebel or harm the Emperor, if I find out, I will exterminate his entire clan!”

As soon as Empress Cen spoke, the several imperial physicians trembled and hurriedly bowed. "We understand," they said in unison.

"All withdraw, today's matters, if anyone reveals half a word, they will be exterminated to the ninth generation."

Feng Lingxi looked at Empress Cen's fierce gaze, the smile on her lips rising. It wasn't in vain that she had put in so much effort; it seemed the empress still understood her meaning.

"I shall take my leave."

The hall fell silent. Empress Cen looked at Feng Lingxi, "You suspect they're behind this"

"It's not that I doubt them, it's that they have a problem. Doesn't the Empress Dowager find this strange The imperial physicians of this Taiping Hospital are all highly skilled physicians who have undergone rigorous examinations. The poison on the Emperor's body has been there for so long, and it's not an impossible poison to cure. Why hasn't it been discovered or cured yet It's not that they can't, it's that they dare not."

Empress Cen looked at Feng Lingxi, "This palace understands your intentions. In this deep palace, intrigues and power struggles are rife. It is not easy to survive."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Yan, "Your Majesty need not worry, even if they cannot solve your poison, I will help you. After all, we are now in the same boat."

Feng Lingxi's candid words made Dugu Yan raise her eyes, and the look in her eyes became complex.

After a moment of silence, he let out a heavy sigh.

"The poison on my body, I presume, also has a share of credit from the Fourth Princess, right"

"The Emperor is right, I did play a part in this. But the Emperor should also understand, if not for my contribution, I wouldn't have almost lost my life these past few months."

"So you helped me with the antidote this time, also to get revenge on them"

Dugu Yan looked into Feng Ling Xi's eyes, seeing the coldness within them. She didn't feel any fear from Feng Ling Xi due to the assassination attempt, instead, she felt a sense of growing courage.

Feng Lingxi smirked, her beautiful eyes swept over Dugu Yan, "Even a rabbit will bite when it's desperate, you know"

Seeing that they remained silent, Feng Lingxi got up and brushed the dust off her clothes. "It's getting late, I should head back to the palace. After spending half a day in this deep palace, I need to rest for several days before I can recover."

"Fourth Princess, please wait."

Dugu Yan called out to her, hesitated for a moment and then asked, “Is there nothing you want to ask me”

Feng Lingxi looked at him with confusion, "Your Majesty, what do you mean"

"The person who assassinated you, the one who kidnapped Shu Taifei...you don't want to know any of this"

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, "Does your Majesty know who did this"

Dugu Yan shook her head, Feng Ling's brows furrowed slightly. Since she didn't know, asking her what to do was pointless.

Though I do not know who is responsible, I have tasked someone with investigating this matter. They will surely uncover the identity of those behind it.

Feng Ling Xi's mind flashed back to the man who had helped her in the imperial garden before. A smile curved her lips, "Your Majesty is referring to that mysterious figure the palace has been whispering about recently, the one who doesn't even bow when they see Your Majesty"

“Today, wasn’t the Fourth Princess also just seen him”

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at the faint smile on Dugu Yan's face, "Then I trouble Your Majesty to investigate carefully. I believe our goals are the same, and we will surely find out that person's identity."

Dugu Yan nodded. Feng Lingxi bowed to Empress Cen, "Empress Dowager, it's getting late, I should return now. I still have to go to the Imperial Palace later."

"What are you going to her for"

When Empress Cen heard that she was going to look for Feng Yu Xi, her face darkened.

"I'm afraid to look for her, lest she suffocate from holding it in. If the Empress Dowager feels sorry for me, why not give me a protective treasure"

Feng Lingxi reached out to the Empress Dowager, her playful manner making the Empress Dowager furrow her brows. She really dared to say it.

"Fine, I don't need it anyway."

Feng Lingxi turned around, and Empress Cen called out to her.

"I'll have Zhang Ma accompany you on a trip, and later escort you out of the palace. That woman from Fengyu Xi is the most troublesome, lest she bully you later. After all, your status isn't as noble as hers."

Feng Lingxi turned around and bowed to Empress Cen, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Grandma Zhang, let's go."

Then Empress Cen saw Feng Lingxi walking away, withdrew her gaze, and looked at Dugu Yan, "Does Your Majesty think that letting Feng Lingxi go was a pity"

"Even mother thinks our purpose back then shouldn't have been her, right"

"Friend or foe, it's destined to be this way. Even if things were good, I'd always be a pawn discarded in the end."

Dugu Yan's words to her lips were swallowed back. Her mother was right, an abandoned child, no matter how good, was useless.

Feng Lingxi arrived at the Phoenix Harmony Hall with Zhang Mama. Yu Xi, seeing her arrival, was about to put on airs when she saw Zhang Mama behind Feng Lingxi, and swallowed her words back down.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

Wind and Rain hurried forward to help her, "Fourth Princess, sisters need not be so formal."

Feng Lingxi's sleeve brushed past Yu Xi's wrist, her beautiful eyes slightly lifted, and she smiled and said, "Your Majesty is joking. Did Your Majesty call me here to have a word with me"id he put something on his bedside table and let her take it herself.Looking at the box on her bedside table, Feng Lingxi opened it and picked up a special crossbow. Wasn't this the crossbow she had c...
