Chapter 1362: War Clouds Gather

r. She didn't know whether she should accept Ye Xi or not. Now that Wan'er had been captured, she couldn't bear to think about these things."Have something to eat and rest early. We'll hit the road as..."Prince Chen, I came here with clues this time, and I believe we will be able to find King Feng soon."

Nan Gong Hua Yun stared at Du Gu Cheng, seeing his expression shift slightly, his eyes narrowing. "King Chen, is there something troubling you"

This king will fully cooperate with Young Master Huayun in finding Lord Fengwang.

Nan Gong Hua Yun clasped his fists, glanced at the hall, his eyes full of confusion.

"Your Highness Prince Chen, I came today not only for this matter, but also for another request that needs your help."

"Sir Huayun, please speak."

Nan Gong Hua Yun rose to her feet, bowing to Dugu City. This action caused Dugu City's eyebrows to furrow in confusion and puzzlement.

"Having heard that Princess Chen's medical skills are exceptional, I've come to request her assistance. She cured the plague in Tumu Town within just a month, and now I need her help treating someone. Would Princess Chen be willing to lend a hand"

Nan Gong Huayun finished speaking and hurriedly explained, "This person is very important to me, please fulfill my request, Your Highness."

"His Highness, Huayun's feelings, this Prince understands. But matters of healing and saving lives are best left to the Princess Consort. This Prince cannot act on her behalf."

After Dugu Cheng finished speaking, Nangong Huayun's attitude remained respectful. "Your Highness, could you allow me and the Princess Consort to meet As long as she is willing to help save people, I can accept any request."

Dugu Cheng looked at Nanguang Huayun's attitude and was a little curious about who he was treating, that could make Nanguang Huayun so nervous.

"Ye Xi, please invite the princess over. Tell her that Young Master Huayun wishes to see her."

Nan Gong Hua Yun saw that Du Gu Cheng had agreed, overjoyed, she repeatedly thanked him.

Not much time had passed when Feng Lingxi arrived at the front hall. Nangong Huayun, seeing Feng Lingxi's arrival, immediately stood up. Gazing upon Feng Lingxi's stunning face and her innate coldness, he halted his advance and bowed respectfully towards her.

Nangong Huayun has met the Princess Consort of Chen.

Feng Lingxi saw the ceremony, walked to Dugu City's side and sat down.

"May I ask what brings you here, Mr. Huayun Please do speak freely."

Nangong Huayun saw Feng Ling being so agreeable, a look of delight spread across her face. She hurriedly said, "Huayun wants to ask Princess Chen to help me treat someone. This person is extremely important to me, and I hope Princess Chen will lend a hand."

"Prince Huayun, forgive my impertinence, but since you're from the capital and here to save someone, there are imperial physicians within the palace. Why..."

Seeing that Nan Gong Hua Yun's face was wrong, Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng, seeing that he too had a puzzled look on his face, she explained, "I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to ask out of curiosity."

"To be honest with Your Highness, the imperial physician was also helpless. So I brought her here, hoping that Your Highness would lend a hand to treat her. Your Highness's medical skills are renowned; both the late emperor and the current emperor have praised them highly. That's why I thought of bringing her here to try."

Nan Gong Huayun's attitude was extremely respectful, her eyes fixed on Feng Lingxi. Seeing that she remained silent, her gaze became anxious.

"She is my biological mother."

"Your mother"

Nan Gong Huayun nodded, “My mother fell ill soon after I was born and has been bedridden ever since. My father sought out renowned physicians but none could cure her. This time, Huayun has the honor of being favored by the Emperor and is here in Xicun County to work alongside Wang Chen. She intends to ask the Princess Consort to take a look at her mother.”

"Master Huayun, has your mother always been bedridden"

"Yes."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu City, her eyes full of doubt. This man who had been bedridden for so many years could still hold on until now, which really made her curious.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess of Chen, as long as you are willing to treat my mother, no matter what you want, Hua Yun will agree to it."

"Xier, look"

Dugu Cheng inquired about Feng Ling Xi's intentions. Seeing that she didn't give a direct answer, he found it strange. In the past, if she had heard this, she would have readily agreed. But this time was different. Xi’er seemed unwilling.

"Young Master Hua Yun, your mother has been ill for so many years. I was only afraid that my medical skills were not refined enough to cure her."

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess of Chen mustn't be humble. As long as you are willing to treat my mother, no matter the outcome, Huayun will offer you a consultation fee."

Nan Gong Hua Yun hurriedly said, hearing Feng Ling Xi's words, he knew he had a chance. No matter how much money it cost, as long as he could cure his mother's illness, he would find a way.

Feng Lingxi shook her head. "It's not about the consultation fee, but my abilities are limited."

"Crown Princess, if you can't do it, I fear that no one in the world will be able to. You saved the late Emperor, and now you have cured the plague in Tumu Town in such a short time. This alone proves your abilities, Crown Princess, please help me."

Nan Gong Huayun bowed deeply to Feng Ling, her voice pleading. Feng Ling frowned; she truly didn't want to treat him. These people in the Prime Minister's residence...she suspected there was more to this than met the eye, this man bedridden for so many years still managing to hold on. She didn't want to get involved.

"Hua Yun Gongzi, let me think about it."

"Dugu Cheng saw Feng Lingxi raise his voice and spoke, putting forward his opinion, "Master Huayun, please return first. When Xi'er has made a decision, this king will send someone to notify you."

Nan Gong Huayun didn't want to press too hard. Looking at Feng Lingxi's conflicted expression, she spoke again, pleading, "I hope the Princess Consort of Chen will heal my mother. The conditions are up to you."

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, seeing Nangong Huayun rise to her feet. She turned back once and looked at her, waiting for her reply. Seeing this, Dugu City stepped forward and said, “Young Master Huayun, I’ll see you out.”

After Nan Gong Huayun walked away, Xiaoli asked in confusion, “Your Highness, why didn’t you agree to this Young Master Huayun”

Feng Ling Xi withdrew her gaze and asked Xiao Li, "Do you know who he is The eldest son of the current prime minister, the emperor's brother-in-law. If this is treated well, it will be fine. But if it is not treated properly, what happens if something goes wrong Besides, he said that his mother has been bedridden since his birth, and the prime minister has sought out famous doctors everywhere but couldn't cure her. Don't you find that strange"

"Hearing the princess say this, it does seem a bit off. The emperor sent him here, and when we met him on the street that day, he wasn't like this at all. He was so arrogant then, and now he's lowering himself to beg the princess This is something we should be wary of."

"Let's hear what Dugu City has to say later."

Feng Lingxi's words had just left her mouth when she saw Dugu Cheng walking over. Seeing that she was still there, he walked to her side and sat down.

He left.

Dugu City nodded. "He said when he left, to tell you that he wanted you to treat his mother."

"Do you think I should treat his mother"

Feng Lingxi asked, looking at Dugu Cheng's furrowed brow, and expressed her thoughts, "I don't want to get involved in this matter. These nobles, I don't want to have anything to do with them, let alone get caught up in it."

"If you don't want to, just decline. If you find it difficult to say no, I will speak to him on your behalf."

Feng Lingxi responded, "These days, there are too many things in the palace to deal with, and I am distracted and overwhelmed."

How is Tian Xiaomi doing Is she alright

These days, he's been busy dealing with Zhang You's matters and hasn't even asked about Tian Xiaomi's health. Feng Yixuan helped him with things, but now that Tian Xiaomi has had an accident, he doesn't know how to explain it to Feng Yixuan. After all, before leaving, he promised Feng Yixuan that he would take good care of Tian Xiaomi.orlorn eyes, walked forward and hugged her thigh, staring at her with pleading eyes."What's wrong"Feng Lingxi crouched down and looked at Wan'er. She reached out and brushed the hair from her forehead...
