quickly coalesced into a new force.The disposed confidants turned against each other, flocking to King Su Dugu Su and rebelling against the tyranny of Dugu Xiu.Amidst the turmoil in the court, Empress...When Huanghpu Qingyun said this, his tone made people's hearts ache. Feng Lingxi wanted to comfort him, but she didn't know how to speak.

Perhaps, Huangfu Qingyun needs some time.

"If you don't want to say, then don't say it. It's okay."

Huangfu Qingyun hummed softly, his expression visibly dimming. Feng Lingxi saw this and quickly said, "Is there anything you want to eat I can cook for you."

"No."

The atmosphere was a little stiff. Feng Lingxi got up, "Rest well, I'll go to the kitchen and make some food."

Huangfu Qingyun nodded, watching Feng Lingxi's departing figure, wanting to speak but stopping. Xiao Li did not immediately follow out. Seeing the princess walk farther away, she whispered to Huangfu Qingyun, "Your Highness, our Madam is really worried about you."

After she finished speaking, Xiaoli ran away. The princess was poisoned herself and still had to be so busy with Huangpu Qingyun's illness. If the king saw this, he would be worried beyond measure.

Huangfu Qingyun leaned against the bedside, his eyes dimmed, lost in thought.

"Why is this so slow What did you say to Huangfu Qingyun"

Feng Lingxi asked Xiao Li, who had caught up to her, knowing she was hiding behind and talking to Huangfu Qingyun, hoping that Xiao Li would ask for an explanation.

He didn't say anything.

Xiao Li looked at the Queen's worried face and grumbled unhappily, "Your Highness, if he doesn't want to say anything, can we just ignore it Your own body is important."

Feng Lingxi let out a light sigh, her eyes dimmed. "Huangfu Qingyun is like my brother to me, and he saved my life. How could I possibly ignore him"

But he didn't appreciate it.

Feng Lingxi glanced at Xiaoli, "Give him some time. Being betrayed by someone you trust must be awful."

"My Queen, this servant will never betray you in this lifetime. This servant swears to heaven, if I break my oath, may I suffer a terrible death."

"You didn't say I swore any oaths, did you"

Wind Ling Xi reprimanded, looking at Xiao Li's serious eyes, her heart moved slightly.

"Your Highness, this servant was born to serve you, and in death, I shall be your ghost."

"No way."

Feng Lingxi tapped her head, saying unhappily, "Why say things like that It's bad luck."

"I only want to prove my loyalty."

Feng Lingxi glanced at her, “Let's go get some food.”

"I am here, my lord."

Xiaoli hurried forward. The snowflakes falling all over the place had already turned the mountain villa into a white expanse, making this winter even colder.

Dugu City returned to the manor in the evening. The first thing he did was to visit Huangfu Qingyun. Seeing that his condition had improved, he finally felt relieved.

"A-Cheng, any news"

Huangfu Qingyun asked, Dugu Cheng shook his head, the worry between his brows couldn't be stretched away, making Huangfu Qingyun sigh, "Xi'er asked me again today, I didn't tell her, afraid she would act impulsively."

"Don't tell her about this, wait until we figure things out."

Huangpu Qingyun nodded, "I think so too. In a few days it will be the banquet for the envoys from Xiwu, Xi'er should go back then."

"With you like this, she won't go back with me."

Dugu Cheng took out a letter and handed it to him. Huangfu Qingyun opened it, read it, then put it away.

"Looks like I really underestimated him."

"Indeed, they have joined forces now. It will be even harder to deal with them."

Dugu Cheng furrowed his brow, looking at Huangfu Qingyun, "This time I really implicated you."

Huangfu Qingyun shook his head. "It's fine, if it weren't like this, how would I know these things"

"This time, I hid it from Xi'er, afraid that once she knew, she would blame me again."

Dugu Cheng's handsome brows furrowed slightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Xi'er, but he didn't want her to worry too much. Her poison hadn't been cured yet, and he wanted to give her more time to detoxify. He wouldn't let these trivial matters trouble her.

But Dugu City didn't know that while he was concealing Feng Lingxi, Feng Lingxi was also concealing him. Their respective worries resulted in misunderstandings and estrangement between them.

"Explain this to her after it's resolved."

Huangfu Qingyun thought of Xi'er's worried eyes when she spoke to him. He didn't want to hide anything from Xi'er, but just like Dugu City said, Xi'er had too many things to worry about, and they didn't want to add to her burdens.

A biting wind swept across the land, snow falling intermittently. A thick blanket of snow covered the ground, refusing to melt even under a clear sky. The temperature remained stubbornly low, no matter how sunny it was.

"Your Highness, when will Crown Prince Huófǔ tell you who wounded him"

Xiao Li was preparing medicine for the Princess, watching the Princess as she crafted pills. "This will give him several days' worth of time," she said.

Let him be, he won't tell me anyway, and I can't force him.

These days, she clearly felt something was wrong with her body. The poison Du Guyu gave her was strange, making her suffer endlessly. According to the medicine she had prepared, she couldn't antidote it. Moreover, the black line on her wrist kept deepening. This poison, for some reason, just couldn't be eliminated.

"Xiao Li, has Dugu City been looking for Huangpu Qingyun these days"

Xiao Li nodded and thought for a moment, “I asked Ye Xi, he said that the King and Prince Huangfu had something to discuss, but he didn't tell me the details.”

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes dimmed as she pondered for a moment, "Later, you help me buy some medicine. Don't let Dugu City know."

"Your Highness, can these pills not cure the poison"

Feng Ling xi shook her head, Xiao Li's eyes full of worry, "Your Highness, what poison did the Third Prince give you Why are even you stumped"

"I can't tell what kind of poison this is, spreading through my body, incurable by medicine or herbs."

"Medicine and stone are powerless to cure her, the Queen has no way"

Xiao Li's face changed drastically, should she tell the King that the Crown Princess was incapable Wouldn't that mean...

"Don't tell Dugu City that there's no cure, it doesn't mean there are no other ways. He's busy enough now."

"Your Highness, can you find a way"

Xiao Li's eyes were full of worry. She didn't tell the King, if something happened, how could she explain to the King and the Holy Master

Feng Lingxi fell silent, "I can't for now."

"Your Highness, you can't do anything about it. Let's tell the King and ask the Third Prince for an antidote. He definitely has one."

"Xiao Li."

Feng Lingxi sank his voice and said, "As I just said, you are not allowed to tell him."

Dugu Cheng knew that she would definitely look for Dugu Yu for the antidote. She didn't want to cause trouble at this juncture, especially since Dugu Yu was able to come up with such a poison, she couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't poison her. She had to research and develop an antidote.

Xiaoli bit her lip, looking at the warning in the Queen's eyes. She was also worried about the Queen; if even the Queen couldn't solve the poison, how dangerous must it be.

"Xier."

A voice came from the gate, it was Dugu City's. Feng Lingxi hurriedly winked at Xiaoli. Xiaoli bit her lip, looking wronged. The princess was so stubborn. The King knew she was really going to be scolded to death.

Du Gu Cheng came in and saw Feng Ling Xi refining medicine. Seeing her slightly pale face, his eyes were worried, "Ling Xi, have you found a way to detoxify"
