Chapter 151: Breaking the Bed 115

s teachings. Feng Ling Xi could see that Yu Mo was truly happy, and it was precisely because of this that she felt her reunion with her grandfather was right.You can disagree with Feng Aotian as their...Du Gucheng opened her room and saw Xiaoli guarding the door. She beckoned to her.

Xiaoli looked at the lord's eyes, feeling a little uneasy.

"What's going on at the General's Mansion Why is Xi'er so troubled when she returned, and unwilling to tell this King what's wrong"

"My Lord, if the Princess Consort asks you to believe her, then just believe her. Don't ask about anything else, because I don't know either."

Xiaoli's answer made Dugu Cheng even more depressed. It really was like master, like servant. They had such similar tempers.

"Alright, keep an eye on the Princess. Make sure to tell me if anything happens."

Xiao Li responded, and only then did Dugu Cheng leave. After leaving the palace, he instructed Ye Xi to investigate the General's Mansion, wanting to find out what had happened to Xi'er at the General's Mansion.

"My Lord, I've heard some things... I'm not sure if I should speak them."

As soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, she was startled by the king's gaze. She hurriedly smiled and said, "It's like this, my subordinate heard that since Madam Liu passed away, General Feng has been going to Madam Feng's courtyard every night. A few days ago, Madam Feng fell ill and went to Zhao's concubine's courtyard. I'm afraid there is a connection between Madam Feng's illness and General Feng."

Dugu Cheng frowned, "You mean the Wind General poisoned my stepmother"

"My subordinate isn't certain either, perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't."

"Come, let's go to the General's Residence."

Dugu Cheng had just taken a few steps when he turned back, "No, Xi'er told this king not to get involved in this matter. If I go to the General's Mansion, Xi'er will definitely be angry."

Night Whisper saw the King stop and speak, “Your Highness, perhaps it’s better to think about how to deal with the Empress. My subordinate heard that on the Empress’s birthday, civil and military officials will bring their families into the palace for a banquet. My subordinate is worried that Your Highness's harem will have even more people.”

"You remind me, in half a month it will be the Empress's birthday. She certainly won't miss this opportunity and will definitely stuff me with a bunch of women."

"I'm afraid that the Empress will still make things difficult for the Princess at that time. The Princess is not proficient in anything like music, chess, calligraphy, or painting. If the Empress asks the Princess to perform a dance or song, she will probably have a hard time."

Dugu Cheng frowned. It wasn't that he minded being inconvenienced, but if it was Xi'er who was being put in a difficult position, then he wouldn't be happy about it.

It seems that Father's illness needs to get better soon.

This empress, dominating the court in this way, is likely to end up with the throne soon when the prince ascends. At that time, the empress will make a move against him.

"My lord, shall we still go to the General's Mansion"

"Go back."

Dugu Cheng turned back to his residence. Now, he could only wait and see what would happen with Xi'er. But he hoped that his father's illness would get better soon.

Feng Lingxi messed around in the apothecary all day and couldn't make a fake death potion. The fake death potion made according to the recipe was unstable, which made Feng Lingxi very irritable. Looking at the pile of medicinal dregs, Feng Lingxi swept them all into the trash can.

Dugu Cheng walked in and saw this scene. Looking at her tired face, he worriedly walked forward.

"Xier, it's late at night already. Let's continue tomorrow."

Feng Ling said, without looking back, "You sleep first, I'm not tired."

If it wasn't developed, how could she sleep soundly This fake death drug, she had also seen in ancient texts, but had never put it into practice. Now that she needed to use it, she naturally needed to experiment and couldn't make any mistakes.

Dugu Cheng looked at the prescription on the table, his eyes flashing with a hint of suspicion.

"Xier, is this the formula for fake death medicine"

Feng Ling Xi raised her eyes, her expression full of surprise, "How do you know this is the formula for a fake death drug"

She didn't mention this, could Dugu City have seen the formula for fake death medicine

獨孤城 saw that she was indeed concocting a fake death drug. He picked up her recipe and looked at it carefully, "Back when I was fighting on the battlefield, I once met a very skilled physician from the Jianghu. He served in my army and once gave me a fake death pill, saying that if I ever wanted to escape using a golden cicada shell, he could save my life."

Is the fake death potion still here

Feng Lingxi hurriedly asked, Dugu Cheng nodded. Feng Lingxi looked at him, her eyes excited, "Can you lend me a look"

Dugu Cheng responded, "Wait a moment, Your Highness. I'll go get it for you."

Looking at him leave, Feng Lingxi hurried to clean up the table. She never expected that Duguo City would have a fake death drug. Now she could help her mother refine a fake death drug.

Dugu Cheng quickly brought the fake death medicine to Feng Lingxi, watching her take the fake death medicine and put it on her nose to sniff. He asked in confusion, "Lingxi, why do you want to refine fake death medicine"

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment, but still told him.

"My mother needs a potion to feign death."

Could it be that my mother-in-law…

Feng Lingxi hurriedly interrupted his words, "If Your Highness wants to help me, just do it. It's getting late, you should go to sleep."

"I won't ask, but could I stay and help you Though I don't know how to make medicine, I saw the divine physician who created this fake death potion write down the recipe. Perhaps it can be of use to you."

Feng Ling Xi heard that he knew the formula for fake death medicine, and nodded.

"Suit yourself."

Feng Lingxi sniffed the pill, scrutinizing the herbs. Dugu Cheng watched her intently, curious. Could she really just smell it and know what was inside

Feng Lingxi tossed and turned for more than an hour, but finally found the missing medicinal ingredient in the fake death pill she had concocted and the one that Dugu City had given her. After marking it, she got up and gathered all the medicinal ingredients, then began to brew the medicine.

"Xier, how can you know which medicinal herbs are missing just like that"

Feng Lingxi responded, meeting Dugu Cheng's dubious gaze. Thinking of her current identity, she explained, "It was a master I met before I recovered from my illness who taught me these superficial skills."

"Could your master be the wandering doctor I met at the military camp"

Where did this quack come from She's making things up, this isn't the renowned physician that Dugu City knew.

"Since the master wouldn't see the imperial doctor, he must not be the same person."

"Tell me about your master. What is he like"

After Du Gu Cheng finished asking, Feng Ling Xi remained silent. Seeing her like this, Du Gu Cheng could only say, "Since it's inconvenient, then this king won't ask any further questions."

Feng Lingxi did not speak, but just stared at her medicine pot. The entire pharmacy was filled with the smell of Chinese herbs.

"Xier, the Empress's birthday will be here soon. At that time, all civil and military officials will go with their families to celebrate her birthday. According to past customs, the wives of civil and military officials will have a talent competition. I'm afraid the Empress will also ask you to show off your skills."

Feng Ling Xi heard Du Gu Cheng's words, her brows furrowed.

The Empress is truly determined to not let her get away in this talent competition.

"Xi'er, what are you good at"

Du Gucheng asked cautiously, afraid of making her unhappy. After all, she had said that she was not good at anything, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Comparing with them would definitely make Xi'er unhappy. out, and I can't do it alone.'""Doctor Li, thank you for your trouble."Shu Taifei looked at Li Wuyan. Seeing that he didn't ask about the female assassin, but nodded instead, he said to Shu Taifei, "...
