Chapter 578 Conspiracy 64
h it, her brows furrowed."Where is the Purple Jade Guanyin"The housemaid, startled by the Fourth Miss's cold question, fell to her knees and stammered, "Returning to the Fourth Miss, it was the Second..."Xi'er." The sudden unexpected event caught everyone off guard. Feng Ling Xi clutched her abdomen, watching the figure disappear into the crowd. She hadn't even gotten a clear look at the person's face before being stabbed.
"Return home."
Dugu Cheng hurriedly scooped her up and flew towards the nearest medical clinic.
"Doctor."
Feng Lingxi had been sent to the medical hall already unconscious. Blood flowed constantly from her abdomen, staining her clothes red. Dugu Cheng's hands were covered in blood, his trembling hands didn't know how to protect Feng Lingxi. He could only watch as the doctor tried to stop her bleeding and revive her.
"My lord, that person has disappeared."
Ye Xi rushed back, but did not catch up to the person. Looking at the unconscious princess, her gaze fell on the blood-stained hands of the king, "My Lord, I think it's important to invite the imperial physician first and save the princess."
Upon hearing "save the princess", Du Gu Cheng immediately grabbed Ye Xi's arms, his eyes bloodshot, and exclaimed, "Quickly fetch a physician for this king!"
Night Xi received the order and left. Dugu City looked at the physician, his eyes full of anxiety.
The clinic was quickly protected by the guards from Dugu's estate. People came and went on the street, and news of Feng Lingxi's assassination soon reached the palace and into Empress Cen's ears. Empress Cen was furious and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to protect Feng Lingxi's safety, dispatching all the physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to Prince Four's Mansion to treat her.
Feng Lingxi stopped the bleeding at the clinic and was escorted back to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Afterwards, the Fourth Prince's Mansion closed its doors, only allowing a select few inside. All other visitors were forbidden from entering.
At the banquet for the tribute envoys, Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng did not attend. Everyone in the capital knew that the Fourth Princess had been assassinated and was hanging by a thread. The imperial physicians who came out of the Fourth Princess's residence all shook their heads and sighed. The Fourth Prince's Mansion was protected by the Imperial Forest Army sent by Empress Cen, and no one was allowed to enter or leave privately.
Dugu Cheng cared for Feng Lingxi day and night for three days and three nights. Feng Lingxi didn't wake up, but on the fourth night, Xiaoli brought someone over, claiming they could save Feng Lingxi. After that person appeared, Feng Lingxi woke up the next morning. Afterward, she left a letter to Feng Ling, and as for what was written in it, no one besides Feng Lingxi knew. No one in the palace saw the person's appearance; they only knew that he wore a silver mask, had long fingers, was around twenty years old, and spoke very little.
Feng Ling Xi awoke, and seeing Du Gu Cheng napping at her bedside, she felt as if she had just woken from a very long dream. She reached out to touch Du Gu Cheng's stubble-covered chin, unable to speak, her throat constricted with emotion. All she could feel was the throbbing pain of the wound in her abdomen.
"Your Highness, you are awake."
Xiaoli pushed the door open and was immediately struck by the scene before her. Excitedly, she rushed forward, putting down the basin in her hand. Dugucheng had already been woken up by Xiaoli's voice. Seeing Feng Lingxi awake, he excitedly grasped her hand, trembling as he reached out his hand, his voice hoarse, "Xier, you're awake."
Feng Ling Xi nodded slightly, a faint smile on her lips. She wanted to touch Dugu Cheng's face, but Dugu Cheng hurriedly grabbed her hand and pressed it against his cheek, his eyes glistening with moisture.
Xiaoli looked at them like this, her eyes also became moist. These days, the prince had been guarding the princess day and night, and finally she woke up.
Feng Lingxi moved and coughed, pulling at the wound on her abdomen. Dugu City hurriedly supported her, "Xier, how are you Are you in a lot of pain"
Feng Ling Xi subconsciously touched her injured abdomen. Dugu Cheng grabbed her hand, "The doctor said you need to rest and recover well."
Nodding, Feng Ling Xi looked at Dugu Cheng's tired and handsome face, her eyes filled with sympathy. Her gaze fell on Xiaoli, motioning for her to come to her side.
"Your Majesty."
Feng Ling's lips moved slightly, and Xiao Li whispered, "Your Highness, when you feel better, the servant will report to you. The servant will go get you some food now."
獨孤城 looked at Xiaoli, the person Xiaoli brought. Besides Xiaoli, no one knew who it was, and they couldn't ask more because Xiaoli said that the person only treated Xi'er. If they inquired about his origins, he would not treat her. For Xi'er's sake, of course, he wouldn't inquire further.
"Get some rest, don't ask anything."
Feng Lingxi nodded her head, looking at Du Gucheng with eyes full of pity. Du Gucheng knew she would definitely say something to him. When Xiaoli brought her food, he went to bathe and change his clothes, shaving off his stubble clean and restoring his usual neat and tidy appearance.
After Feng Lingxi woke up, Shu Taifei knew. She came to visit Feng Lingxi during that time, but Feng Lingxi's body was too weak, and it was the cold winter, so she left after a while.
After Feng Lingxi woke up, Dugucheng informed Empress Cen. After all, for the sake of saving Feng Lingxi, Empress Cen had also allowed the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau to treat her. Regardless of her intentions towards Feng Lingxi, she had at least saved her life.
When the Empress Dowager learned that Feng Lingxi had woken up, she sent many nourishing tonics as gifts, but she didn't visit the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Instead, Feng Yuxi came. Seeing Feng Lingxi lying on the sickbed, she looked concerned, which made Feng Lingxi feel disgusted.
"Fourth Princess, these are just a little something from this palace. Please accept them all."
As the wind and rain swept through, Yu Xi’s body turned slightly, revealing the jars of tonics she was holding behind her. The smile on her face didn't feel like concern to Feng Lingxi at all, more like schadenfreude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Xiao Li accepts it with gratitude."
Feng Lingxi gave Xiao Li a knowing glance. Xiao Li took the thing, but her eyes never left Feng Yuxi, always feeling that the Empress's purpose in coming here was not pure this time.
"Fourth Royal Wife, this Palace heard that you were stabbed this time, and your maid hired a mysterious doctor who cured your injuries. I wonder if you could tell this Palace who this doctor is. This Palace would also like to invite him into the palace to have a look."
As expected, Feng Yu Xi's intentions were impure. Feng Ling Xi woke up and heard about this, and also read the letter left by that person. Besides her, even Xiao Li didn't know that person's identity. Even when Dugu Cheng inquired, he didn't intend to tell him.
“Your Majesty, I'm afraid you’ll be disappointed. That doctor was a traveling folk healer who heard about my injuries and treated me. After treating me, he left without leaving a single word. Your Majesty, if you wish to see him, I fear it won't be possible.”
Little Li quickly agreed and nodded, "Your Majesty, the Princess is right. The day I went out to buy medicine, I met that doctor. He said he could cure the Princess, so I brought him back. However, he wore a mask from beginning to end. Neither I nor the Prince has ever seen his face."
"So, this person is deliberately trying to hide their identity"
As the wind and rain lashed down, Feng Yu raised an eyebrow, seeing Xiao Li's expression didn't seem like a lie. He was somewhat doubtful.
How could Feng Lingxi be so lucky Even in this state, someone would dare to come and save her from the underworld.
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true. The Prince can also attest to this. No one in the mansion has ever seen his face."
"Little Li, if the Empress can find him, it would be a good thing. Then I could personally thank him."
