well. It can help your wound heal faster.""It's alright, Meili's injuries are fine, no..."Feng Lingxi patted her shoulder, "Wait a moment, I'll go get it."Ye Mei nodded, watching Feng Lingxi's depart...Feng Lingxi responded, "It won't happen again."

The Empress Dowager's words were clear. If she truly cured the poison of the frost flower, regardless of whether it was her who did so, the blame would fall on her if Dugu Su recovered. She didn't want to be scapegoated.

It was just that she had promised Xiao Simu. The poison on this Pingnan Princess, she originally wanted to give it a try, but now, she had to reconsider the matter. Was the poison on the Pingnan Princess worth her helping

And besides, if we really need to detoxify her, this poison can't be dealt with by her.

Feng Lingxi came to Li Wuyan's pharmacy. Although she and Li Wuyan were both in the capital, they didn't see each other often. Besides when she needed something, she wouldn't come to find Li Wuyan.

Li Wuyan wasn't very fond of interacting with outsiders. Knowing Feng Lingxi's identity and with Dugu Cheng absent from the capital during this time, he would handle matters by having others relay messages, avoiding gossip.

He knew that festivals were important to women, and he knew Feng Lingxi had done him a favor; he was aware of it.

"Doctor Li, my wife is here."

Feng Lingxi and Xiao Li entered the pharmacy. As before, it was in the courtyard, Li Wu Yan was sorting herbs. Hearing Xiao Li's voice, he got up and bowed to Feng Lingxi, "Li Wu Yan greets the Fourth Princess."

Knowing that Dugu Cheng was back, Li Wu Yan subconsciously looked behind Feng Ling Xi. He didn't see Dugu Cheng accompanying her, which was somewhat unexpected.

He didn't come, he had something to do.

Feng Lingxi walked to a bench not far away and sat down, watching Li Wuyan come over. She said truthfully, “I came today to ask you for help.”

"The Fourth Princess commands, it shall be done."

Feng Lingxi took out the scroll with the Frost Flower illustrations and handed it to him. Li Wuyan finished reading it, his brows furrowed, "Fourth Princess Consort, where did this come from"

"Do you know this frost flower"

Li Wuyan hummed, "I know some things. This poison has no cure."

"Really... hopeless or..."

Feng Lingxi had not finished speaking when Li Wuyan pushed the book in front of her. "Fourth Princess, I advise you to stay away from this Luoshuang flower. Avoid getting involved with it and incurring misfortune. The poison is severe and the consequences are unimaginable. It's best not to investigate further."

Why can't we delve deeper

Feng Lingxi looked at Li Wuyan, "As healers, aren't we interested in these things"

Li Wuyan pondered for a moment before saying, "Throughout history, I have found mention of this poison in ancient texts. It is called Falling Frost Flower, an extremely cold poison. Once it enters the body, the blood freezes but does not solidify. At the summer solstice, the poison will activate, and the hotter it gets, the stronger the poison becomes. There is no known antidote."

Feng Lingxi frowned, looking at Li Wuyan's tightly furrowed brows, "Is there really no solution"

"Yes."

Li Wuyan's answer made Feng Lingxi's heart feel a chill. "Li Wuyan, this Luoshuang flower isn't a highly poisonous drug, so why can't an antidote be developed Could it be..."

"It has been incurable since ancient times."

Li Wuyan's answer caused Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes to sink, "I don't believe it."

"Fourth Princess, I still say the same thing, this poison is too dangerous to experiment with."

Feng Lingxi stood up, “Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Li Wuyan had no choice, she would figure it out when the time came.

Seeing Feng Lingxi's departing figure, Li Wuyan's brows furrowed even tighter. He subconsciously looked at the book left on the table, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Feng Lingxi left Li Wu'yan's pharmacy and went to Tianxiang Building, inquiring about the whereabouts of the building owner. The waiter and shopkeeper had no idea where the owner was, so Feng Lingxi left a word and returned to Si Wangfu.

"Mother Empress, this matter cannot be taken lightly."

Feng Lingxi had just returned to the palace and from afar, she heard Dugu City's voice. She stopped her steps wanting to hear what he was saying, but she was seen by Shu Taifei.

"Xi'er, come here."

Feng Lingxi walked before Shu Taifei, bowed after greeting her, and then looked at Du Gucheng. Seeing the turmoil in his eyes, she whispered, "Mother Empress, what is going on"

"Xier, the Empress Dowager just sent word that she wants you to treat Prince Su."

"Treating the King of Su"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, seeing Dugu Cheng nod. Thinking of what Shou'an Palace had said, could it be that Empress Cen had been sending people to monitor her all along She had just returned from Li Wuyan and was immediately asked to see the doctor for King Su.

This is clearly a warning to her not to go and solve the poison of Luo Shuang Hua.

"Xier, the Imperial Medical Bureau has so many imperial physicians. You are this king's queen, how could such matters ever fall to you"

Du Gu Cheng looked at his mother's worried eyes and said, "Mother, perhaps the Empress Dowager didn't mean it that way. She was just passing on an imperial decree orally."

"Mother, I will handle this properly. You don't have to worry."

Feng Lingxi tugged at Dugu City's sleeve, "I have something to tell you. Let's go outside and talk."

When the Dowager Empress saw this, she cautioned, “Remember to always be cautious and never forget that excessive power can lead to downfall.”

"The son knows."

His mother's warning, he never dared to forget. But it was precisely because of this that he knew how suffocating it was to be suppressed.

獨孤城, today you entered the palace, do you know what the Empress Dowager said to me

Wind Lingxi softly asked, looking at Dugu City shaking his head. Wind Lingxi told Dugu City what Shou'an Palace and the Empress Dowager said, and Wind Lingxi also shared her own thoughts with Dugu City.

"Now you understand what the Empress Dowager meant, don't you"

If the poison of Luo Shuang Hua never has an antidote, who will be the next one after Pingnan Princess

Du Gu Cheng's eyes flashed with worry. With Xi Er's current sharpness, if one day she wasn't used by Empress Cen, she was afraid that Empress Cen would take action against Xi Er.

"This is my concern, I don't want to one day see frost flowers bloom on me."

Dugu Cheng reached out and hugged her, his heart a mix of emotions.

He wanted to protect Xi'er, but now he realized that protecting her was far from enough. Some things existed that couldn't be solved simply by removing obstacles. Even if he could eliminate all the barriers, he wouldn't be able to cure Luosheng Hua's poison.

"Dugu Cheng, no matter how Empress Cen tries to stop me, I intend to research the antidote for Luoshang Flower. Today, I will cooperate with her as the Saint Lord of Yao Clan. She has the right to stop Princess Four from researching the antidote for Luoshang Flower, but she can't stop the Saint Lord of Yao Clan from doing so."

As long as the frost flowers don't appear on them, she doesn't care.

But if it ever fell on them, and if there was no solution, then they would only have to wait for death.

She didn't want to be passive at some point, before that she had to solve the frost flower.

Having such a sinister poison hidden within one's body is truly terrifying.

"If Xi'er wants to do something, just let her do it. With this king here, he won't allow anyone to make things difficult for Xi'er."

Dugu Cheng reached out and gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of worry.

If the identities of these four princes couldn't protect Xi'er, he could still use his identity as the master of Tianxianglou. Just as Xi'er said, this Luoshuang flower poison has no antidote. Then Empress Cen could cover the sky with one hand. This poison, even how it got on someone’s body wouldn’t be known.

He was truly afraid that one day, on someone, frostflowers would suddenly appear.

He clearly remembered, the King of Su back then was just like that.s."Dugu City told Feng Lingxi about Lu Nian and what he said. After hearing this, Feng Lingxi was astonished."No wonder he treats me like his sister. With so many similarities, it's no wonder he does....
