Chapter 1286: Smoke and Fire Ignite 97

pills to keep them safe.After just half a month, the supplies of medicinal herbs were almost gone, the pills were running out, and even the grain was insufficient. Without the imperial court's provis...Wind Lingxi opened her mouth and bit into the bun, stuffing it all in at once. Lu Nian watched her take such a large bite, couldn't help but think that she lacked any of the modesty one would expect from a girl.

"You take small bites, so you won't choke."

Seeing such a large steamed bun, he took a big bite and everyone was worried.

Feng Lingxi ignored him, chewed a few times and swallowed it down.

"That's enough, you go watch the fire. This medicine is ready, take it to them later and apply the wound medicine to the soldiers as well."

Lu Nian took another steamed bun, “After I finish this, I’ll go.”

"I'm not hungry anymore..."

"Open your mouth."

Lu Nian commanded in a tone, “There’s no need to rush. Besides, if you don’t eat enough, how will you have the energy to do all this If you collapse, what will happen to these people”

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth and ate three steamed buns in two bites. Looking at Lu Nian's eyes filled with concern, she averted her gaze and said, "I'm full now, go help quickly."

"Okay."

Lu Nian put down the steamed bun and watched Feng Lingxi start bustling about again. She walked to a distance and took out a flare from her sleeve, firing it into the air.

Dugu Cheng looked at the signal flare and retracted his gaze.

"Your Highness, this Master Lu is..."

He is Xi'er's biological older brother, he would never harm Xi'er.

Dugu Cheng watched Xi'er who was busy. This Lu Nian treated Xi'er so well, he, as her husband, felt jealous watching it. But what could he do He had already arranged for support from outside, but Xi'er said that these were Yao Clan members and she was the Saintess of the Yao Clan. She couldn't just leave them unattended.

Besides, she is still a doctor.

"My Lord, should I dispatch someone to investigate the whereabouts of Luoli and Li Wuyan" They agreed to help, but they haven't sent any news in two days. The Princess was fooled by them.

"No need, if they don't want to come, no one can force them."

Dugu Cheng finished his business, “Let’s go see Xiaoli, her injuries are serious.”

Ye Xi responded, Xiao Li was injured and helping, he was too busy to spare himself, wanting to help her was also helpless.

Feng Lingxi's second batch of antidote had been administered to them, three times a day, with dedicated personnel watching over them and monitoring their daily changes. Feng Lingxi was pleased that by nightfall, the five individuals with shorter time remaining showed no adverse effects.

"Your Highness, the patients who were raving mad have calmed down. This servant has administered the medicine as you ordered, and they are all asleep now."

Feng Lingxi responded and put down the herbs in her hand. Her waist ached so badly she could barely stand straight.

"Xier, dinner is ready."

Dugu Cheng walked in and happened to see Feng Lingxi supporting her waist in pain. He quickly stepped forward to help her, his voice full of concern, "Are you exhausted"

"It's fine."

It's normal for your body to feel strained after working so hard for such a long time.

Feng Lingxi rested for a while, allowing her body to recover. Just as she was about to go out with Dugu City, she heard commotion and noise outside. She hurriedly went out with Dugu City and saw the villagers arguing fiercely. She immediately stepped forward.

"What happened"

"My lord, my lady, you be the judge. This Liu Da's own two sons are dead, and now he wants us to bury all the other crazed villagers alive, saying there is no hope for them."

Feng Lingxi looked at Liu Da, her eyes full of confusion. "Liu Da, why did you suddenly say that I admit that I failed to save your two sons, the time was too short. But now that we've managed to control them and prevent them from going mad, why did you suddenly mention burying them alive"

Liu Da didn't dare to look into Feng Ling Xi's eyes. He averted his gaze and said, "They are all like this, there is no saving them. Keeping them here would only bring trouble."

"You won't know unless you try. Besides, haven't the past two days of medicine already shown some improvement And I'm still researching, I haven't given up, you..."

"It's hopeless."

Liu Da's emotions were very high, and he shouted at Feng Lingxi, "This is not an illness, it's a plague."

When San Cai heard Liu Da shout like that, Feng Ling Xi became very angry. She protected Feng Ling Xi and scolded Liu Da, "Liu Da, what are you saying The princess worked so hard to save them, and you're talking nonsense. The princess is a doctor, and she knows better than anyone if she can be saved."

"What good is the doctor anyway, he's useless."

Liu Da's emotions were out of control. His eyes were bloodshot, but it was clear he was suppressing himself.

"How do you speak like that, you..."

Lu Nian heard this person speak about Feng Ling Xi like this, a fire was building in his belly. Just as he was about to scold them, Feng Ling Xi pulled him back.

Dugu Cheng also discovered that Liu was out of control emotionally, but he was controlling himself.

"Give me two days."

Feng Lingxi's tone was very polite, Liu Da glared at them and stormed off.

Seeing the situation, the Three Talents hastily explained to the princess, "Your Highness, Liu Da spoke too directly just now. He isn't usually like this. I'll go persuade him."

Feng Lingxi nodded, watching San Cai chase after them. She then turned to look at Dugu City.

Liu is out of control emotionally, but he's hiding it. I suspect him.

"What do you suspect he of"

Lu Nian watched the couple from the side, completely baffled.

He might have been infected too, so we need to find a way to give him medicine.

Du Gucheng spoke, and Lu Nian was astonished. Thinking back to Liu Da's appearance just now, he asked, "Could it be that coincidental Are there any other infected people in this village"

"I just don't know what Xinshui did."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, for that piece of parchment, she disregarded human lives, her heart truly is too vicious.

Night had fallen, everyone was asleep, but Feng Ling Xi showed no signs of tiredness. She sat beside the campfire, lost in thought, oblivious to everything around her, even Du Gu Cheng who was by her side didn't seem to notice.

"Xi'er, aren't you tired of not sleeping so late"

"Can't sleep."

Feng Ling Xi came to her senses and looked up at the night sky, "I'm afraid of tomorrow's results."

Dugu Cheng draped a coat over her, "You'll know tomorrow, don't think about it so much."

"I can't sleep, you go to sleep. I want to be alone for a while."

Du Gu Cheng opened his mouth, but then closed it again.

After a while, Dugu City said, “Then you rest early.”

Feng Lingxi hummed in response, Du Gucheng got up and went out. Feng Lingxi didn't move, the bonfire before her burned brightly, crackling merrily.

Suddenly a sound came, with a *snap* a package fell in front of Feng Ling Xi. She looked around, but didn't see anyone. Looking at the package before her, she was full of doubt.

"Xi'er, what happened"

Dugu Cheng heard the sound and rushed out. Feng Lingxi got up and pointed to the package in front of her.

"Just fell down, don't know who threw it."

Dugu Cheng bent down to pick up the bag and opened it, looking at the packets of medicine inside. He hurriedly handed them to Feng Lingxi, who opened the medicine bag and looked at the medicinal herbs inside, her eyes filled with confusion. "Who gave this"

獨孤城 flipped through his luggage, and saw a small piece of paper folded inside. He opened it, read the words, and hurriedly handed it to Feng Lingxi.

Please let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!oked into her cold eyes and explained, "Although I don't know who kidnapped Shutai, I'm sure they did it because of the things Emperor Father left for Shutai.""Lord Three Kings, your sources are truly...
