“Did you let Yao Shu go”Du Gu Cheng's face changed slightly, "He almost took Xiao Li's life, you just let him go like this"Once Dugu Cheng uttered those words, he immediately regretted it. Looking at...Dugu Su turned his wheelchair, looking at Feng Lingxi. His eyes were serious.

"Your Majesty is not joking. I asked you to leave early for your own good."

"Your Highness, King Su, do you have any news of Duguxing"

"Dugu Su shook his head, looking at Feng Lingxi's darkened eyes and soothingly said, 'Fourth brother has strong martial arts skills, is brave and good at fighting, resourceful and courageous. He will be fine, Fourth princess don't worry.'"

"I won't leave until he comes back. I will wait for him, I promised him I would stand by him through thick and thin."

Feng Ling Xi sat there, her eyes welling up with tears, making her look like an ordinary woman. As Du Gu Cheng said, she couldn't let people see her true thoughts, it would be dangerous.

True or false, one must experience it to know.

Feng Lingxi's forlornness made Dugu Su frown. "This king will continue to inquire about the fourth brother's situation and have someone notify you as soon as there is news."

"Thank you, Your Highness, King of Su."

Windling hurriedly got up and thanked her. Looking at Dugu Su nodding towards her, Windling thought for a moment and opened her mouth, "Could you please do me a favor, Your Highness"

"What does the Fourth Princess say"

If there is news from the palace, could you please send someone to inform me

Dugu Su smiled, "Don't worry, things in the palace shouldn't become a big deal. The Empress Dowager is very good to you."

Hearing this, Feng Lingxi was a little puzzled as to why he said that.

"Do your own job well," the Empress said, "As long as you do what I ask, I'll take care of the rest."

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing this, suddenly realized that he had already known about the Empress Dowager's instructions for her to research the Frost Bloom poison.

"I will do my best."

"This king shall return first."

As she watched Dugu Su leave, Feng Lingxi stood there for a long while. She took out the yellowed parchment given to her by the Empress Dowager and walked toward Li Wuyan's courtyard.

Tianxiang Lou

A figure stood in the private room on the third floor of Tianxianglou. As Luo Li walked in, she saw the person's back and a smile curved her lips.

"I never expected it to be you. I thought someone was impersonating you."

That person turned around and looked at Luo Li, taking off their mask to reveal a face that was not Dugu City. The smile on Luo Li's face gradually disappeared as they stared at the unfamiliar face before them.

"Who are you, and why are you pretending to be him and contacting me"

"The lord commands."

That person took out the Building Master's order, and Luo Li had already confirmed that this person was sent by Dugu City. She then said, "Where is he"

"The host asked me to see you, saying that he wanted you to tell the Fourth Princess to find a way to get her people out of the capital. If she can't think of a way, then go ask Shu Taifei, there will be a way out."

"Where would she leave to"

Luo Li stroked her chin, looking at the person before her, “Didn’t your building owner tell us to wait for him to come back How did you change your mind”

“The host only instructed me to obey orders and not ask questions.”

"I understand. Tell the poster to take good care of themselves and not worry me."

Luo Li took out a map and handed it to the man, “Take this, deliver it to him. If you reach Linxi County and can't find me, come to this place.”

Thank you.

The man put on the mask and quickly left.

Within the Siwangfu

Feng Ling Xi arrived at Li Wu Yan's courtyard and saw him busy sorting herbs. However, she didn't see Luoli, which made her wonder.

"Ayan, where's Luo Li"

He went out.

Li Wuyan looked at Feng Lingxi, "Has the King of Su left"

He left, but there's new information.

Feng Lingxi beckoned with her hand, signaling Li Wu-yan to sit down and speak. She took out the parchment given to her by Empress Cen and said, "This is the recipe for the Frost Flower antidote that Empress Cen gave me. Take a look."

"The Empress Dowager wants you to refine the antidote for Frostfall Flower"

Li Wuyan took the parchment and examined it carefully. Seeing Feng Lingxi respond, he carefully distinguished the ancient script on it, his brows furrowed, "These characters are very old, and they are not from our country."

And some words are missing.

Feng Lingxi pointed at the page with missing characters, "These characters, I don't recognize."

Li Wu-Yan nodded, without a hint of mockery.

“The venom comes from the Miaojiang region of the Western Regions. These characters should be from the Miaojiang region of the Western Regions. It's normal not to recognize them.”

"Do you recognize it"

Feng Lingxi watched Li Wuyan read with relish. She recognized only part of it, but wasn't sure if the content was what she had in mind.

"Most of them I recognize, but some are unclear if they're the same as the herbs we know."

Li Wu-yan said, pointing to a certain line of text above, "For example, this one, can you know for sure if what's written here is actually the ants we're talking about"

Feng Lingxi frowned, "This does indeed look like an ant, but it's also not quite right. And there are many types of ants, but this doesn't specify which one."

"It's not about what is said, but the word itself."

Li Wuyan frowned, "I'll ask Luoli when he comes back. He's well-read and must understand better than I do."

Feng Lingxi, upon hearing of someone who had read extensively, couldn't help but think of the ancients and their vast reading volumes. Perhaps they truly did know a thing or two.

"Alright then."

Li Wuyan took a pen and ink and began to translate, writing in his native language and copying the contents of the scroll.

"Ayan, why are you staying here Don't you worry about the Emperor suddenly issuing an edict and implicating you and us all in a beheading"

Feng Lingxi watched Li Wuyan seriously study the parchment, seemingly never having seen fear on his face.

“I believe you won't let me die so easily, along with Luo Li.”

Feng Lingxi smiled. Having confidence was a good thing, but she didn't have absolute certainty. She didn't know how to respond to Li Wuyan's trust in her.

"See if you can find this for me and see how many of these herbs we have here."

Li Wuyan handed her the copied prescription, “I still need to confirm a few herbs here, and there are some missing parts that I need to carefully identify.”

Wind Lingxi nodded, taking the prescription to pick up medicine. She discovered that Li Wuyan's quantity of medicinal materials here was truly astonishing, with everything listed on top.

"All of them."

Feng Lingxi looked at Li Wuyan, but saw him shaking his head.

"I'm missing a few ingredients here, I'll have to go find them."

"It's fine, anyway we were going to use these herbs right away."

Li Wu Yan looked at Feng Ling Xi, "Turn back and give the Empress Dowager these missing herbs, let her try to find them. This way, we can delay time and ensure our safety. As long as she wants the antidote for Luoshuang Hua, we will be safe."

Li Wuyan divided the prescription into three parts. The first part was the medicinal herbs he had given her at the beginning. The second part was harder to find, and the last part was the missing text. As Li Wuyan said, if Empress Cen wanted this antidote, she would definitely try every means to protect herself.

Unless she could get the full prescription.

"No need to look for herbs anymore."

Luo Li walked in, her white robe slightly dusty. Looking at Feng Ling Xi and Li Wu Yan's puzzled expressions, she said calmly, "Dugu Cheng sent me a message, asking us to find a way to leave here."

"Now"mething I want to ask you. Can you understand what we're saying"Wan'er looked at Tian Xiaomi without answering, but opened her eyes instead.Tian Xiaomi increasingly felt that Wan'er might be like Xi'e...
