Chapter 524 Conspiracy 11

led her out of the mansion, riding a horse towards the valley. At dusk, the setting sun painted the sky with a beautiful line of afterglow.Dugu Cheng rode with Feng Ling Xi, galloping through the val...Wind Ling Xi looked at the San Wang Fei's pleading eyes, smiling and soothingly said, "San Wang Fei, if you have anything to say, just say it."

“I want to ask you and the Fourth Master to speak with Ah Yu, so that he won't have to return to the capital. He has been thinking about going back to the capital for the past two years, thinking about the task the late emperor entrusted to him. But I don't want him to go back, and I certainly don't want him involved in these disputes within the court. He has finally found his place in Liangzhou, and I don't want anything to happen to him.”

"I don't know what you mean by being involved in a dispute What did the late emperor ask him to do"

To assist the Four Kings in ascending the throne.

Feng Lingxi's face visibly changed upon hearing this. She wasn't sure if it was a test or the truth. Looking into his pleading eyes, Feng Lingxi became even more confused.

"But Dugu City never mentioned to me that the late emperor wanted him to ascend the throne. How could the Third Prince have such a task"

Third Princess Consort looked at Feng Lingxi's surprised expression, "Fourth Princess Consort doesn't know about this"

Feng Lingxi shook her head and said earnestly, "I've never known about this before, and I've met my father. He didn't mention it to us either. Could it be a misunderstanding"

Feng Lingxi stared at the Third Princess's face, wanting to see through her from her eyes. The Third Princess's face was even paler, biting her lip lightly, as if she couldn't believe it. The disbelief in her eyes, and the slightly tearful eyes, made Feng Lingxi feel uncomfortable.

Does she think Duke Yu lied to her Is she hurt

That day when Dugu City and Dugu Yu met, they did indeed talk about this matter. She could tell that Dugu Yu didn't intend to assist Dugu City; he just wanted to use the pretense of assistance to get to that position. With his current power and status, if he truly wanted to usurp the throne, it wouldn't be impossible.

This kidnapping, he and Dugu Xiu might be in cahoots, the Third Princess Consort is very likely being manipulated by him.

"Third Royal Wife, what's wrong with you"

The Third Princess forced a smile, watching Feng Lingxi's concerned eyes.

"Perhaps I was wrong, Third Royal Consort. I'm a bit tired, why don't you go back first."

Feng Lingxi stood up, "Then you have a good rest, I'll go back first."

"Your Highness, why don't you help the Third Princess see how her poison is doing"

As soon as she stepped out of the yard, Xiao Li curiously voiced her thoughts. Before Feng Ling Xi could answer, she saw Du Gu Yu quickly approaching. Seeing Feng Ling Xi here, Du Gu Yu was somewhat surprised and walked over to greet her.

"How could the Fourth Princess be here"

The Third Royal Wife came to chat with me. Wouldn't the Third Royal Prince even interfere with this

Feng Ling's tone of dissatisfaction towards Du Gu Yu made the latter furrow his brows, "Third Royal Consort, could you lend me a moment to speak privately"

"Is there anyone else here"

Feng Lingxi retorted, seeing him make a gesture inviting her to follow. Feng Lingxi didn't say anything and followed him towards the corridor. Only then did Du Guyu say, "That way is closer to San Wangfei's courtyard. This king doesn't want her to hear."

"It seems Third Prince doesn't want her to know what he wants to say to me."

Dugu Yu gestured for her to sit down and speak. Inside this pavilion, the fire was already burning, it seemed that this place was a frequent haunt of San Wangfei and Dugu Yu. This hearth alone showed how much affection Dugu Yu had for San Wangfei.

“This King has long heard that the Fourth Princess’s medical skills are unparalleled, with the abilities of Hua Tuo himself in this world. This King wishes to ask the Fourth Princess to save his beloved concubine. The cold poison within her body, This King has sought out countless renowned physicians but none have been able to cure it.”

"So you knew it was cold poison in her body, not winter illness"

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly, seeing him nod. She quite admired San Wangfei's intentions.

"Wan'er only has at most three years left to live. This cold poison has been in her body for almost four years now. As soon as winter arrives, Wan'er's body changes like a different person altogether and she suffers terribly."

"So you knew about her condition all along Was this winter illness also something you two discussed"

Dugu Yu nodded, "I don't want her to know, and I don't want her to be sad or heartbroken."

Feng Lingxi remained silent. Dugou Yu continued, "The poison on her body was planted by this king. All these years, she has suffered from the cold poison and has been unable to have children. Several times, if it weren't for me discovering it in time, she might not have been alive."

"Is she afraid of implicating you"

Dugu Yu nodded, "She felt she wasn't capable of giving this king an heir, or even taking a concubine for him. I didn't agree either, just to avoid her thinking that I didn't want her because of her frail health."

The Third Royal Wife loves you deeply and feels that it's normal not to want to burden you.

But she thought she was really stupid. Since it had all happened because of Du Guyu, why couldn't he stay by her side

Dugu Yu looked at Feng Lingxi, "Since the Fourth Princess can see that Wan'er has a cold poison, she must be able to cure it, right"

"There are ways to detoxify, I don't have an opinion about helping the Third Royal Consort. It's just that, for what you did this time, I don't want to help you."

Du Gu Yu Jun's face fell, "What do you want"

"It's very simple, I need you to help me rescue my mother. I believe this wouldn't be difficult for the Third Prince."

Dugu Yu clenched her fists, her eyes almost bursting into flames. Did she see through something

Feng Lingxi saw that he was angry, her beautiful eyes swept over his hidden black eyes, and she said faintly, "If the Third Prince thinks it's not worth it, then pretend I didn't say anything."

獨孤宇 glared at Feng Lingxi with eyes that could spit fire, "The Fourth Royal Princess is truly ruthless."

Feng Lingxi let out a smile, "You're welcome, I learned this from the Third Prince."

It seems he really knows something now. Once Wan'er's poison is cured, Feng Lingxi will have to leave, or else she will become an obstacle for him. If Dugu Cheng truly desires the throne, Feng Lingxi will inevitably become his greatest contributor in seizing it.

Feng Lingxi felt Dugu Yu's hostility towards her, the smile on her lips becoming even more unrestrained. She wanted to see just how deep Dugu Yu's feelings were for the Third Princess Consort.

"This king cannot guarantee that he will be able to save Consort Shu, but he will do his utmost."

"Whether the Third Princess's poison can be fully cured depends on the Third Prince's performance, Xiao Li, go back."

Feng Lingxi turned and left, she didn't want to waste her breath with Duguxiu here. Their just-concluded conversation had confirmed one thing for her at the very least: Duguxiu and Duguyan were very likely collaborating this time. Helping her rescue her mother wouldn't be difficult for him.

I wonder how Du Gu Cheng is doing. I hope he's able to rest, working non-stop like this, I don't know how long he can keep it up.

Palace

Empress Cen looked at the exhausted Du Gucheng, her brow furrowed.

"Fourth Prince, if you search the Duke's residence and cannot find where Empress Dowager Shu is, what will you do"

Dugu Cheng looked up, gazing into Cen Taizi's cold eyes. He clenched his fist, "As long as there is even a slight possibility, I will try my best. If I can't find out Mother's whereabouts, then I submit to whatever punishment the Empress Dowager deems fit."
