Chapter 599: Conspiracy 85

nting to cry.Feng Yu Mo walked to Feng Ling Xi's face, knelt down on one knee, and Feng Ling Xi hurriedly rushed forward to help him up. Her voice was choked with sobs, "Yu Mo, what are you doing""Sis...Dugu Cheng walked to Feng Lingxi's face, "Xi'er is this king's wife, protecting her is what this king should do." Dugu Cheng's meaning was very clear, his woman, he protected, no one needed to say thank you.

Feng Ling Xi looked at Du Gu Cheng, such a him, made people's heart flutter even more.

When are we leaving

Feng Lingxi glanced at the weather outside. It wasn't snowing, but the melting snow was even colder.

Now go, and strive to return for a meal with your mother.

Dugu City nodded, looking out. Ye Xi had already gone to prepare the horses. Feng Lingxi and Dugu City left the house, and a figure appeared in the shadows, staring at their departing carriage and melting into the crowd.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng entered the palace together. Dugu Cheng went to the imperial study to see Dugu Yan, while Feng Lingxi went to Shou'an Palace to pay her respects. The news spread quickly, and everyone in the palace knew that Feng Lingxi had gone to Shou'an Palace. As for this casual treatment of entering the palace, no one in the inner court was convinced, but no one dared to utter a word of complaint. After all, Feng Lingxi was now a favorite in front of the Empress Dowager. Even Dugu Xiu wanted to see the Empress Dowager, he had to be summoned. As for her, as long as she wished, she could enter the palace at any time.

The people of Shou'an Palace were also extremely kind to Feng Lingxi. Upon seeing her arrival, they immediately reported it to the Empress Dowager, making her feel truly honored.

"Feng Lingxi greets the Empress Dowager."

She bowed slightly, showing her respect. The Empress Dowager nodded and motioned for her to sit beside her and speak. She also told Zhang Mama to keep watch.

Outwardly, people from Shou'an Palace only said that the Empress Dowager doted on Feng Lingxi, saying that Feng Lingxi would always give the Empress Dowager some new gadgets she had invented, as to what exactly, it was unclear, but they were all related to medicine.

"Empress Dowager, does the Imperial Medical Bureau have any news"

"He's diligent, though, there's still no cure yet."

Feng Lingxi frowned, "Then can I go to the Imperial Hospital later"

"What are you doing at the Taixue Hospital"

Queen Cen, after finishing her questioning, looked at Feng Lingxi's smile at the corner of her lips and told Zhang MaMa to bring a token.

"This will be convenient for you when you come and go."

Feng Lingxi happily accepted, “Thank you, Empress Dowager.”

The Empress Dowager looked at her, “Don't say that this old woman didn't warn you, all the imperial physicians at the Imperial Medical Bureau have offended you this time. Whether they can develop an antidote depends on yourself.”

"Rest assured, Empress Dowager, they are capable of this."

Looking at Feng Lingxi's confident eyes, Empress Dowager Cen didn't want to ask any more questions. Anyway, as long as she could cure the Emperor's poison, it didn't matter what happened to the Imperial Hospital. Whether she made enemies with the Imperial Hospital was Feng Lingxi's own business.

Feng Lingxi had left Shou'an Palace an hour ago. Since then, the Imperial Harem seemed to have forgotten about her. There was no sign of Yu Xi coming to cause trouble. As she walked through the Imperial Garden, her steps were light and cheerful.

Dugu Cheng also came out of the Imperial Study and waited for Feng Lingxi in the Imperial Garden. Seeing her, he hurried forward, “Xier, did the Empress Dowager give you any trouble”

"No, let's go out."

Du Gu Cheng responded with a smile, seeing Xi Er's joyful and carefree demeanor, they left the palace together.

Go to Taixue Hospital.

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, Ye Xi froze, looking at the king, seeing him nod, she then drove the carriage in the direction of Taiyi Hospital.

"Xier, what are you doing at the Imperial Medical Bureau"

"Get the herbs, or what use is this token to me"

Feng Lingxi twirled the token in her hand, her beautiful eyes filled with calculation. This money for buying medicinal herbs wasn't a small sum each month. It was hard for Dugu Cheng to earn money. It would be better to use the imperial court's funds. After all, alchemy and such things cost money.

The most important thing is that the antidote being refined now isn't all for Dugu Yan, right It can be explained using his silver.

"Xier, this king is not short of this amount of silver."

Du Gucheng said in a harsh tone, "Xi'er even has to go outside to get medicine. He needs to go back and have Ye Xi count up how much the Royal Manor still has. They might not even have enough money to buy medicine for Xi'er."

"I know, but we're short of money, they aren't."

Although the royal family wasn't short of money, she had to save it. After all, there would be many places where Dugu Cheng needed money in the future. The 500,000 troops in Linxi County needed to eat, even though they could take care of themselves. Still, it was important to have a reserve.

Dugugu City fell silent, looking at Xi'er's calculating gaze, his heart ached.

"Dugu Cheng, you need to know that the Imperial Physician's Office has no shortage of medicinal herbs. Unlike us, some herbs are difficult to obtain and expensive. Most importantly, this antidote is for Dugu Yan. It doesn't make sense for us to pay for it, right"

Upon hearing this explanation, Du Gu Cheng's lips twitched slightly. He said, "Xier, why are you like this All this trouble was because the antidote was for Du Gu Yan and you were unwilling to spend money on him." Suddenly, his mood improved.

Xi'er said, "It's true that we should go to the Imperial Hospital."

It's not necessary for me to pay for these herbs for Du Gu Yan or Xi'er.

Feng Lingxi leaned against Dugu City's arms, half-closed her eyes, "I want to sleep for a while, wake me up when you arrive."

"Okay."

Dugu City hugged her, holding a cloak to wrap her body, so that she could sleep warmer.

Imperial Medical Bureau

Dr. Zhang, leading the way, had the entire Imperial Medical Bureau in a frenzy over the past two days. Even the dusty shelves of medical books that had been piling up were pulled out. All the imperial physicians were huddled together, poring over the books, desperately searching for antidotes. They were all sporting panda eyes from their intense reading sessions.

When Feng Lingxi entered, this was the scene before her eyes. She even stepped back and took a special look at the signboard of Taiyi Hospital. Otherwise, she would have thought she had arrived in some chaotic room.

When the imperial physicians of Taiyi Hospital saw Feng Lingxi arrive, they were all like seeing a ghost, scrambling to their feet and hastily straightening their robes.

"Greetings to the Fourth Lord and Lady."

"You're welcome."

Dugu City brushed his sleeve, looking at the messy books on the ground. He hurriedly reached out and supported Feng Lingxi, reminding her, "Xier, slow down."

Feng Lingxi's eyes had been captivated by the bamboo slips on the ground long ago. These medical texts were unlike anything she had ever seen before.

"Doctor Zhang, where did all these come from"

"Reporting to the Fourth Princess Consort, this is the medical library from the Imperial Hospital."

Feng Lingxi heard about the collection of books, her eyebrows raised slightly as she walked towards the pile of medical texts and began to browse through them.

Dr. Zhang watched Feng Lingxi's movements, wanting to stop her but afraid of her revenge.

He had seen her ruthlessness firsthand. She had brought them to this state out of the blue, which was unacceptable. The medical texts in the library shouldn't have been accessible to her, but compared to their lives, what did it matter

"Doctor Zhang, I'm here today to check on your progress. How is the preparation of the antidote for the Emperor going"

Upon hearing this, the imperial physicians of Taiping Hospital all lowered their heads and wore expressions of embarrassment.

Feng Lingxi waited for half a while but didn't hear a reply. She raised her head and looked at Zhang Taishi, "Why aren't you speaking"

"We are incompetent and have yet to find a cure."

Wind Ling Xi raised an eyebrow, continuing to flip through the medical book in her hands, and asked slowly, "Is it that difficult"

Zhang Taiyi hurried forward, “We lowly physicians are not skilled enough, we implore the Fourth Princess to instruct us.”

Feng Lingxi stood up, looked at Zhang Taiyi and the medical books on the ground, walked to the side and sat down, crossed her legs, her beautiful eyes swept over them, and suddenly smiled.ot agree, would Luo Li forcefully take Wan'er awayLet me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!"Forget it, forget it. I knew this time I couldn't take Wan'er away, so I just came...
