n. In this General's Mansion, there was simply no place for Yu Mo. He felt sorry for Yu Mo. This time, going back to avoid the turmoil in the capital was a good thing.Of course, with him around, these..."Xier's analysis is accurate, this king agrees."

獨孤城 gave her the medicine, tidied up her clothes, and poured her a cup of water. "In this way, Xier and this king are considered people on the same boat. Would you like to cooperate"

Feng Lingxi coldly scanned him, taking the tea he offered. "Your Highness is thoughtful indeed. It makes me wonder if it was you who attempted to assassinate me last night."

"In Xier's heart, is this king not so unbearable"

"Come now, tell me how you wish to collaborate with me. I'm sure Your Highness already has an answer in mind."

Dugu Cheng held her hand. Feng Lingxi didn't dodge, looking at his serious expression, she just wanted to know what game he was playing.

"This king wants to team up with Xi'er. This time, the assassins who came weren't targeting this king."

Feng Ling Xi withdrew her hand, her tone cold, "How do you know"

Yesterday, the king received a secret letter and went out of the city to meet an old friend. On his way, he was ambushed, which is why he didn't return home all night. And you were attacked right when I left. It shows that they deliberately lured me out to assassinate you.

"In that case, Lord Wang knows who wants my life"

"The mastermind behind preventing the emperor's treatment, as well as the General's Residence, could be involved."

"The General's Residence"

Feng Lingxi frowned, "Do you think General's Mansion would attack me"

"We can't rule that out."

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "Liu Shi is foolish, but she wouldn't send assassins to kill me at this crucial moment, let alone lure the Prince out of the city. She has many ways to deal with me, she wouldn't be so stupid. Besides, if she truly wanted to kill me, I would have died long ago and wouldn't be here now."

"Xi'er, don't forget, things are different now. You're not the naive Fourth Miss you used to be. Think about it, how much of a threat you are to her, to Feng Linglong and Feng Lingyu She can make sure you live a good life."

Dugu Cheng reminded, Feng Ling Xi thought about it this way, it seemed to make sense.

She still felt that the person who had assassinated her last night was not from the Liu clan, but most likely from inside the palace.

"What the Lord said is indeed reasonable, it seems my life is quite valuable after all."

Dugu City looked at her teasing him like this and reminded, "Xi'er, although the assassin failed last night, it is not ruled out that he will make a comeback. In the future, you must be more careful."

Feng Lingxi responded passively, her attitude towards his concern remained indifferent as ever.

"You don't have to go to the General's Mansion today. This King will spread word about your assassination later and send people to investigate. Perhaps we can find some clues."

"Your Highness, wouldn't you be worried about provoking the other party into repeatedly sending assassins after me"

This method of using a lure to draw the snake out isn't bad. Firstly, it can alert those who intend to assassinate her. Secondly, if we find any clues, disrupting their composure might even lead us to uncover the mastermind behind this plot.

"As long as I'm here with you, Xi'er, what is there to fear Besides, your medical skills are formidable. Even killing me wouldn't be easy."

Dugu Cheng's words made Feng Lingxi's heart tremble slightly. He actually believed in her so much, and rarely did he truly believe that her medical skills could do anything.

"The lord really thinks too highly of me."

"As for Xier's poison skills, this king has seen them before. If she truly wanted to kill someone, it would be invisible."

Dugu City looked at the changes in her eyes, a smile deepening on his lips, "Xier, this king vaguely remembers that night when you said to this king..."

"Dugu City, will you ever stop Do you need to keep bringing up that day over and over again"

Feng Lingxi was furious. That night, if there had been a second man, she would have absolutely not touched him. She thought that being good-looking was at least some compensation for herself, but now it seemed this man constantly brought this up, and she couldn't stand it anymore.

Dugu Cheng's eyes were innocent, "Xi'er, this king just wanted to say that your skills that day were pretty good. You don't seem like someone who doesn't know anything. After all, you are from a family of generals. It's normal to have some skills."

"My lord, I fear you've forgotten my ten years of foolishness."

"How could someone so foolish for ten years possess such refined medical skills Xi'er, don't be modest. Use whatever abilities you have and don't let yourself get hurt."

Wind Ling Xi stood up, "Your Majesty should still send someone to protect my safety. What if one day I am really killed If this news gets out, the esteemed War God wouldn't even be able to protect his own wife, that would be embarrassing."

獨孤城臉上越來越燦爛，終於還是承認她是他的王妃，有了她這句話，他自然要保護她的安全。

"No more of that, Your Majesty hasn't had breakfast yet. Xi’er, would you accompany Your Majesty for breakfast"

"Your Majesty, this servant will prepare breakfast right away."

Xiao Li hurried out. Feng Ling Xi looked at Dugu Cheng who was smiling softly, and she didn't like his smile. It made her unable to understand him. He was clearly a ruthless person, yet he seemed like a gentle and considerate man.

After breakfast, Feng Lingxi went back to her room to rest. She was injured and didn't want to go out. Dugu City went out of the house several times, but he returned in the evening and did not go out again.

Windling conveyed a message to Zhang Shi, saying that she wouldn't be going today. Zhang Shi replied through Windling, saying that everything was fine at home and she shouldn't worry.

The news of Dugu Yan marrying the Zhao'an County Princess has spread throughout the capital. It was a marriage where one was unwilling to marry and the other was unwilling to be married, yet they were forcibly wed by imperial decree.

Feng Lingxi was injured, and for several consecutive days, Dugu City didn't allow her to refine pills, not even letting her go to the pharmacy. He guarded her wound, and Feng Lingxi also had some free time to sketch a few surgical knife designs, intending to have someone make them for her in a few days.

These scalpels were her weapons of defense. With them, she felt safe.

Dugu City was very docile, not arguing with her, and going along with everything she said.

"Tomorrow I'm going out to find someone to make this for me."

Du Gucheng looked at the things she had drawn in her hand, his brow furrowed. "What are these"

"For self-defense, I thought of it myself."

She didn't want him to ask too many questions, so Feng Lingxi coaxed him, after all, she didn't want Dugu Cheng to know too much about her.

"That's right. I will accompany you tomorrow."

Dugu Cheng put away the painting he had made of her, "This king will help you with your medicine. This wound mustn't leave a scar."

Wind Ling Xi looked at him as he took out the ointment. "What is this"

"The top-notch scar cream was given to me by my mother. She said that if I applied it a few times every day after the wound healed, it wouldn't leave a scar."

Feng Lingxi took it, putting it to her nose and sniffing. "Can I take a look at this"

Are ancient scar remedies really that effective

She needs to research the ingredients and make a bottle for herself later.

Dugu Cheng handed it to her, and Feng Lingxi began to study it. Dugu Cheng watched her serious expression, walked over and sat beside her, gazing at her.

Feng Lingxi finished her research and looked up to see Dugu Cheng staring at her, his face flushed with discomfort.

"What are you staring at me for."

Dugu Cheng suddenly leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss on her lips.uld I ever call myself a doctor"Feng Lingxi angrily said, looking at Yu Mo's careful expression on his face, she felt very sorry for her younger brother.I don't know what bad things he did in his past...
