Chapter 575: Conspiracy 62

ncess is overworked, causing the poison to flare up. She asked me to go fetch medicine and brew it for her to suppress the poison in her body so that the Prince wouldn't know. She was afraid that if t..."Then do tell me, why come before me with such shamelessness"

Feng Ling Xi raised her eyes, meeting Empress Cen's furious expression. She calmly stated, "As I haven't conceived yet, this concubine is guilty."

"Speak up."

Although Empress Cen's tone was displeased, she had already had a chair prepared for Feng Lingxi and even brought her a brazier to warm her hands. Such treatment was something the Empress herself had never received.

Feng Lingxi never expected that Empress Cen would be so kind to her.

"I've heard about what happened to you. But, what's with your stomach I've waited for this day so long, why is there still no movement Are you deliberately not wanting to get pregnant, refusing to hand over the Yao Clan's treasure"

"Your Majesty is wise, my concubine has truly tried her best. However, a few days ago, my concubine was poisoned and only recently recovered. I am unable to conceive."

Feng Ling Xi's voice was serious, upon hearing about the poisoning, Empress Cen frowned, "You were poisoned Who would be so bold to poison you"

"Didn't the Empress Dowager say that the feast for the tribute envoys is imminent, and we are not allowed to ask about these things Your servant dare not speak."

"Tell me, who dares to oppose this Empress"

Since none of the women in the harem could bear children, not even Feng Lingxi, Empress Cen's face was naturally unsightly.

“It was the Third Prince.”

When Feng Lingxi finished speaking, Empress Cen angrily slammed her hand on the table, startling Feng Lingxi.

"Dugu Yu is truly bold, daring to poison someone the Empress wished to protect. He ruined the Empress's plans, he deserves death!"

Feng Lingxi saw Empress Cen becoming angry, and she originally wanted to take this opportunity to give Dugu Yu a good lesson. However, thinking of their current cooperative relationship and the covetous eyes of Yu Yuxi, she suppressed this opportunity.

"Empress Dowager, there's something my concubine wishes to ask the Empress Dowager."

"Said."

Feng Lingxi lowered her voice and asked, "I wonder if Empress Dowager could help me with the General's Mansion affair"

What's the matter at the General's Mansion

Empress Dowager Cen's brows furrowed slightly, showing a clear sign of impatience.

Feng Lingxi slowly said, "It's like this, a few days ago, my father found me and told me that he was returning the position of madam to my mother, rebuilding the life I shared with her, and saying that Empress Dowager Zhao, the biological mother of the empress, returned the position of madam and willingly served my mother as aunt. He also said that this matter has been announced throughout the land. I wonder if the Empress Dowager has heard about it"

"How could something like this be reported to me"

Empress Dowager Cen was becoming impatient, but Feng Lingxi showed no sign of stopping. She continued, “Of course, I know that this matter shouldn't be told to the Empress Dowager, but wouldn't you find it strange The biological mother of the empress, since she is already the wife of a general's family, why would she willingly become an aunt and serve my mother”

"What do you want to tell me"

Cen Taizi looked at Feng Lingxi's intelligent eyes and knew her temper. Since she brought it up, she wouldn't let it go easily.

"I heard from Dugu City that the Noble Consort Rong has been staying at the General's Mansion for several days recently. The Emperor was very displeased about this, and he even sent Dugu City to investigate. Doesn't Empress Dowager think something is strange about this"

"Come now, tell me, where's the oddity"

Feng Lingxi, upon being asked this way by the Empress Dowager, somewhat regretted having spoken.

Empress Cen was deliberately pretending to be stupid, wanting her to play the villain

If it weren't for Duke City, she really wouldn't want to say.

"This concubine only wants to ask the Empress Dowager, why was it that the matter of Noble Consort Lóng returning to General's Mansion for a short stay wasn't handled by the Empress, but instead given to Dugu City This is truly inappropriate."

"You're quite bold, willing to speak up for Du Gu City."

Feng Lingxi raised an eyebrow, looking at Empress Cen's displeased expression, and said softly, "Your Majesty is wise, my words are not for Duke Dugucheng, but for Your Majesty's own well-being."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Oh, how so"

Feng Yuxi, as the empress, must have felt something about Dugucheng's involvement in this matter. After all, it was the emperor and the Empress Dowager who assigned Dugucheng to handle it. Wouldn't this create resentment in the empress's heart towards both the emperor and the Empress Dowager

"You see through it quite well, however, who I choose to handle this matter and her have nothing to do with each other. She is the Empress, how long she can hold onto that position remains to be seen."

Empress Dowager Cen's tone was full of displeasure toward Feng Yu Xi, with no attempt at concealment.

"Your Majesty, once the Empress ascends to the throne, even for a single day, the established protocols must remain unchanged."

Feng Lingxi's words made Empress Cen's face darken. If she didn't want the envoy to see the discord in court, she would have deposed this Empress Yu much sooner.

"The Empress can retract the order to have Dugu City investigated, but the Empress wants you to do something for Her."

"As you command, Empress Dowager."

Feng Lingxi knew that if the Empress Dowager agreed, there would be conditions, and those conditions would definitely be related to Dugu Yan.

"Your Majesty, I need you to remove the poison from the Emperor. I know you can do it."

"Your Majesty, I do not know what poison the Emperor has been afflicted with and dare not jump to conclusions."

Cen Taizu looked at her, "You can cure Dugu Yu's poison. The Emperor's poison is nothing compared to what you can do with a single thought, isn't it"

Dugu Yan's poison, she could indeed antidote the one she had administered. However, the other poison on his body, she was afraid she couldn't cure it.

"Your Majesty, I cannot guarantee that."

Then show it to the Emperor, I want to know everything, with no omissions.

Queen Cen's sharp gaze made Feng Lingxi a little uneasy. This period of time, everything that had happened to her, Queen Cen seemed to know it all. It seemed like every move she made was under Queen Cen's watchful eye.

"Your Majesty, come out."

Then Empress Cen spoke, Feng Lingxi jumped in fright and looked at Dugu Yan who came out from the inner hall. She hurriedly bowed, "Subject greets your Majesty."

Dugu Yan's handsome face was quite pale, weak as if a gust of wind would blow him down. The sight of her sickly appearance terrified Feng Lingxi. In just a short time, how could she become so seriously ill

"You're welcome."

Dugu Yan opened her mouth, and a series of coughs followed. Feng Ling Xi didn't know why Empress Cen had to find her in such a secretive manner to detoxify Dugu Yan.

"Fourth Royal Wife, show the Emperor, how much poison on his body can you cure."

Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to meet Dugu Yan's gaze. Their eyes locked, and Dugu Yan's eyes no longer held the domineering possessiveness they once had. Instead, they were filled with a deep apology. This change was very unfamiliar to Feng Lingxi, yet she didn't know how to express her feelings.

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, there is one more thing this concubine needs to clarify with you both. This concubine will always remember the late Emperor's affairs. Your Majesty was poisoned, and it shouldn't be this concubine who should detoxify…"

"Don't worry about this, Your Majesty has prepared everything for you. You are summoned to the palace to treat the Emperor. No matter the result, it has nothing to do with you."

The Empress Dowager took the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago and handed it to Feng Lingxi, “I won’t let you repeat past mistakes.”

Feng Ling Xi opened the imperial edict and read it carefully, her eyes becoming even more puzzled.

With this all ready, could it be that there isn't a single imperial physician in this palace who can put the Emperor and Empress at ease

“Your Majesty, there is something I do not understand. I hope Your Majesty can enlighten me.”
