Chapter 561 Conspiracy 48

first encounter with an assassination after descending the mountain. She was accustomed to it, but Siyu and Siqi were frightened. Although they practiced martial arts, this was their first time witnes...Apart from believing her, Huangfu Qingyun didn't know what else he could say. As she said, he and Dugu Cheng weren't hiding things from her either, were they

Xi'er is different from other women. She has her own thoughts and ideas.

He wanted to help her, but he also knew his own limits. He couldn't detoxify her.

"If nothing else, I'll go back to my room and rest. You do the same, take care of yourself."

Huangfu Qingyun nodded, watching her go out. He stretched out his hand, but then retracted it, clenching his fist tightly, his eyes struggling.

"You heard what Xi'er said, don't tell your Lord Wang."

Huangfu Qingyun said softly, "There's no one in the room." He knew Dugu City had sent people to protect Xi'er. He said this only to respect Xi'er's wishes.

"If anything is wrong, tell me immediately."

Ye Su in the darkness completely ignored Huangfu Qingyun. After Feng Lingxi stepped out of the door, he followed her.

On her way back to the room, Feng Lingxi didn't immediately return to rest. After taking the pill, she felt more comfortable.

Feng Lingxi stood inside the pavilion, looking at the sun outside, but she couldn't feel any warmth.

Dugu Yu, as intelligent as he was, must have already devised a countermeasure if he placed poison beneath the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. If she confronted him, he wouldn't give her the antidote. What she wanted to know was what kind of poison she had ingested.

Why had she never encountered such a situation before.

I had never questioned my medical skills, but this time, Feng Lingxi was truly stumped.

Feng Lingxi sighed softly, taking out a golden needle and placing it on the stone table. She then pulled out a golden needle and pierced it into her fingertip. Ten fingers connected to the heart, Feng Lingxi winced in pain, twisting her brow, but she didn't stop. Instead, she forced the blood from her fingertip to flow. This wasn't the first time she had done this.

Looking at the dark red blood flowing down her fingertips, Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Your Highness, it's cold outside, please be careful not to catch a cold."

Behind her, a fox fur cloak had appeared. The Yao people stood behind her and didn't see anyone around her. She then took the fox fur cloak and draped it over the princess.

"Do you have any news about my mother from the Yao people"

"Not yet, if there are any opinions, the slave will inform the Princess first."

Feng Lingxi didn't even raise her head, letting out a light sigh.

"It's been so long, and there's still no news. I don't know what happened at all."

"If the Queen truly cared for the Holy Lord, she would conceive a child sooner. That would be the greatest help to him."

Mentioning the child, Feng Lingxi wryly smiled, looking at the blood flowing from her fingertips, “Even though I’m pregnant now, this child... I’m afraid I can’t keep it.”

Feng Lingxi's words caused the people behind her to take two steps forward, as if they wanted to speak but held back.

Besides, I wasn't able to get pregnant.

She was aware of her own body; too much had happened recently, putting a great deal of stress on her mind and body. Wanting to become pregnant wasn't an easy thing either.

"The princess is still young, first cure the poison on her body then have a child."

Feng Lingxi nodded, forcing out the blood and standing up, "Go back to your room, Xiaoli probably won't be coming back today."

"Little Li can still rush back overnight."

Feng Lingxi replied and walked toward the room. She hoped that she could find some clues in the Tian Shan Snow Lotus place so she could figure out what kind of poison this was. Otherwise, she would be worried to death.

As night fell, a black figure scaled the wall and entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion. He happened to encounter Xiao Li who was taking out the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus in her room. The two clashed and fought.

"Little Li, it's me."

The familiar voice made Xiaoli stop. The man in black hurriedly pulled off his face covering, revealing his true face – it was Ye Xi.

"How did you get here"

Still sneaking around.

Ye Xi frowned, looking at Xiao Li, "Shouldn't this be a question for you You're not taking care of the princess at the villa, what are you doing sneaking into the prince's room"

“I’m back to get something. That’s what the princess meant. And what do you mean I’m being sneaky Look at yourself, you have the nerve to accuse me.”

"I…"

Ye Xi remembered the king's instructions, "It was the king who asked me to return. What are you coming back for"

"Tien Shan Snow Lotus."

Xiao Li didn't want to waste time talking with him either. After all, they each had their own masters. She needed to get back as soon as she got the things. If she wasn't worried about attracting attention, she would have gone back home directly. Sneaking in was still the Queen's idea.

Then take it.

Xiao Li fetched the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus and packed it carefully before turning to Ye Xi. "What did Your Highness ask you to come here for Could it be that the Wangfu has spies everywhere"

How do you know someone in the palace is spying on us

Ye Xi's words left Xiaoli astonished. She had actually guessed it right.

Could it be the Third King

"Just a guess. I'm going back. You stay here and guard it yourself. Bye."

Ye Xi looked out, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Little Li, I'll go back with you."

Yexi seeing Xiaoli's face full of doubt, hurriedly explained, "The King asked me to guard the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. I was worried that someone might harm you along the way, so I escorted you back to the manor and handed the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus to the Princess. Only then can I rest assured."

Little Li nodded, "Alright."

When she gets back to tell the Queen, the Queen and she will surely agree that it was the Third Prince who did this.

When dawn broke, Xiao Li and Ye Xi returned to the manor, both looking disheveled with blood stains on their clothes. Feng Lingxi immediately inquired about their situation. As Ye Xi had said, after taking out the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, they were soon ambushed by a group of black-clad pursuers. The two fled for their lives but were eventually caught up to. Fortunately, it was pitch black, allowing them to escape narrowly.

"Come, sit down. Let me apply some medicine for you."

Feng Lingxi looked at the bloodstains on Xiaoli's arm and immediately took the medicine box to clean her wounds and bandage them. Ye Xi only then remembered that during the fight between the men in black last night, he was pushed away by Xiaoli. When Xiaoli fought with the men in black, it seemed like that was when she got hurt.

For the first time, Ye Xi was protected by a woman. Looking at Xiao Li, his heart felt complicated.

"Ye Xi, are you injured I helped treat you as well."

"Please don't worry, Your Highness. I merely have a superficial wound and it won't hinder me. I'll apply medicine to it myself in a while."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Xiao Li, "Then you should treat Ye Xi's wound later."

Little Li nodded and hurriedly got up, taking the Tianshan Snow Lotus from her bag and giving it to the Princess. Feng Lingxi took it, opened it, and looked at the unharmed Tianshan Snow Lotus inside, but didn't move.

"Your Highness, do you think those chasing us are after the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus"

"Need I say more As soon as we took it out, we were hunted down. Isn't that clear enough"

As soon as Ye Xi finished speaking, she was glared at by Xiao Li. Ye Xi quickly lowered her head and dared not speak.

"Since Dugu Yu gave me this Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, why are you trying to take it back Besides, this Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus has been poisoned and is useless now."

"Useless"

Xiao Li was astonished and hurriedly asked, "Even after washing the poison off the surface of this Tian Shan Snow Lotus, it's still no use"
