Chapter 849: Frost Flower 39

ds."Feng Lingxi saw that there were too many of them, so she left the two youngest behind. That way, with Xiao Li, there would be three of them.Watching the other Shadow Guards retire, Luo Li stared a..."It wasn't her."

Feng Lingxi firmly believes that this wind and rain has nothing to do with the weather, but rather the possibility of Dugu Su is much greater.

Back at the General's Mansion, Feng Lingxi opened the box and looked inside. Sure enough, it was filled with ice silkworms. It seemed someone wanted to remind her not to study venomous insects.

"Xiaoli, tell Prince Xiao that I want to meet him at Tianxiang Building tomorrow."

Little Li looked puzzled, "Your Highness, why tomorrow It's still early..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Li hurriedly said, "This servant understands. I'll go now."

Watching Xiaoli's departing figure, Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze and put the box away.

"Yǔmò, don't tell Grandpa about this, there's no need to worry him."

Wind Feather Ink responded, watching his older sister put away the box, "Should this still be kept by the Zhao family"

"Staying here, the Zhao clan has one enough already."

Du Gu Cheng didn't come, Feng Ling Xi slept soundly all night. The next day, she went to Tian Xiang Lou to see Xiao Si Mu. Knowing that Feng Ling Xi was looking for him, Xiao Si Mu was very surprised and waited early.

"The Fourth Royal Consort."

"Young Master Xiao."

Feng Lingxi looked at the guards around Xiao Simu. Xiao Simu, seeing this, withdrew them and looked at Feng Lingxi, "Your Highness, if you have anything to say, just say it. He is trustworthy."

"On your way here, Young Master Xiao, did you notice anyone following you"

Xiao Simu smiled slightly, "I'm not the Fourth Princess Consort. I don't attract attention. Going out is convenient, and no one would notice me."

Wind Ling Xi heard his words, it seemed that this young master Xiao still understood her well. She hadn't had an easy time recently, but his whereabouts were convenient.

"The things you gave me are now being kept by the Empress Dowager. Does Young Master Xiao know this"

Xiao Simu's eyes darkened slightly, but the smile on her lips did not diminish. "Since this matter has been entrusted to the Fourth Princess for handling, how could I possibly concern myself with who it ultimately falls into The Fourth Princess gave it to that person for a reason."

"Young Master Xiao is indeed insightful."

Feng Lingxi's beautiful eyes swept over Xiao Simu, who was fiddling with his teacup, her gaze settling on the bruise on his index finger. Feng Lingxi asked lightly, "Is the bruise on Young Master Xiao's finger caused by touching something he shouldn't have"

Xiao Simu glanced at her index finger and nodded.

"Fourth Royal Wife, you are indeed observant. To be frank with you, I have touched something I shouldn't have. Fourth Royal Wife, would you be able to take a look for me" After speaking, Xiao Simu extended her hand in front of Feng Lingxi.

Feng Lingxi glanced at the

"Falling Frost Flower"

.

Xiao Simu's beautiful eyes were full of admiration, "It's the residual poison from the frost flower on my mother's body. It was left behind after I touched it."

But when the poison took effect, did you give her qi to help her

Xiao Simu nodded, "Being able to guess here, the Fourth Princess seems to know enough about Luoshang Flower. I believe there will be a way."

"Not yet, no matter how much Young Master Xiao praises me, I can't conjure up an antidote. With so many things on my plate, there's simply no time for that."

Xiao Simu's brows furrowed slightly, but she wasn't displeased.

"I understand the difficulties the Fourth Princess is facing, but I still hope that she can find a cure for Luoshuang Flower as soon as possible. I believe the Fourth Princess can do it." Xiao Simu retracted her hand and looked at Du Gucheng with full conviction in her eyes.

"Young Master Xiao, since you put it that way, I might as well be direct. Young Master Xiao, can you tell me if this has anything to do with you"

Feng Lingxi took out the box she had retrieved from the assassin yesterday and placed it before Xiao Simu. Xiao Simu picked up the box and examined it carefully. After putting it down, he said, "This box isn't the one I gave you. Although they are mostly similar, the lock on this box is different."

Xiao Simu showed Feng Lingxi the location where something was hidden, "My belongings all have unique markings. The Fourth Princess and I have been in contact for a long time, so she would naturally know them. Moreover, this thing is a forbidden item and should be handled with care. This counterfeit item is not mine."

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, staring at the box in her hand, and said, “So, someone knows that you gave me this box, so they want to forge such a box to frame Shao-zi”

I don't know what the other party's purpose is, but the things are fake.

Xiao Simu confirmed, looking at Feng Lingxi's slightly narrowed eyes and reminding, "This period of time, the Fourth Princess has been very prominent, I'm afraid she has aroused the envy of many people. There must be many people in this capital who want the life of the Fourth Princess."

Then we'll see who it is.

Feng Lingxi stood up, "Since this item is a counterfeit, I won't disturb you any longer."

The Fourth Princess stays behind.

Xiao Simu shouted and walked up to Feng Lingxi's face, "Although this thing is a fake, the contents inside must be real. The Fourth Princess should be extremely careful not to get poisoned. Falling Frost Flower's toxicity is extremely terrifying. I only suppressed it with my internal energy, so it’s like this. If it enters the body, suffering unimaginable pain is inevitable."

Feng Lingxi nodded, could it be that Xiao Simu's sincerity, Feng Lingxi decided to ask Xiao Simu for help.

"Can Prince Xiao do me a favor"

"Your Highness, if there is anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my utmost."

Wind Ling Xi returned to her position, "Could Prince Xiao please help deliver this to someone"

Feng Lingxi passed the letter to Xiao Simu and whispered a few words. Xiao Simu nodded, "This matter is simple, I will definitely help deliver it."

"Then, thank you."

After leaving Tianxiang Building, Feng Lingxi didn't head straight back to the General's Mansion. Instead, she strolled along the street.

Inside Tiangxiang Building

獨孤城 stood with his back to others, at the window, staring at Feng Lingxi who had left Tianxiang Building. He watched her stroll down the street with Xiao Li, and in a low voice, he ordered, "Make sure they are safe."

"Your Highness, as for Young Master Xiao..."

"Keep an eye on him, be careful not to let him know. Also, spread the word that the building owner is looking to buy or sell."

After Dugu Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and put on his mask. His eyes under the mask were cold and piercing, "Find a way to get in touch with the palace."

"As you command."

Feng Lingxi residing in the General's Residence caused a stir among both palace and outside officials. None of the Four Palaces had sent anyone to receive her, and no news of her departure had been released. Everyone inside and outside the palace was curious as to what was going on.

Therefore, many people began to visit the Fourth Prince's Mansion, subtly probing for information.

Feng Cangkai greeted everyone with a smile every day, accepting their hospitality readily. Those people initially thought they would get some information from Feng Cangkai, but they didn't expect him to be so cunning. Whoever asked him would just say, "My granddaughter has come back to accompany this old man for a few days. What's wrong with that"

Everything else, not a single word.

Feng Cangkai was quite the talker; he could chat with anyone. As a result, those who came to visit became restless and left. After only two days, the civil and military officials who had come to inquire about news settled down. Word spread that they couldn't get any information, so no one came anymore.

Zhao approached Feng Lingxi's door with a bowl of chicken soup. Xiao Li hurried forward to greet her, "Greetings, Madam."

Zhao's eyes fell on the closed door, "I made chicken soup for Xi'er, specially to bring her some nourishment."n the palace... I couldn't possibly do such a thing."Dugu Yan knew what she meant by that. Feng Lingxi did indeed have some suspicious points."Since the Fourth Princess claims to be innocent, may she...
