he food on the table and said coldly, "Come eat."獨孤城 walked out, looking at the dishes on the table. Although there were many, there was only one bowl.Wind Ling Xi divided the food and gave him a larg...Seeing the silver needles instantly covered in frost, Feng Lingxi's eyes widened in shock. She placed the handkerchief that Xiao Li had handed her on the ground, and soon the silver needles transformed into ice needles.

Feng Lingxi was still seeing this situation for the first time, she looked up at Dugu Su, "This..."

"Falling frost flowers."

Feng Lingxi swallowed nervously, "Is there really no cure for this poison"

What does the Fourth Princess think

Dugu Su didn't answer her this time, but instead asked a question. From the shocked look in her eyes, he knew the answer. Such a strange poison was unheard of, truly terrifying.

"Second brother, this poison is somewhat similar to cold poison. Is it possible to force it out with internal energy"

Dugu Su's lips gradually paled, and frost appeared at the place of his eyebrows. Dugu Su hurriedly circulated his inner energy.

"Second Brother..."

"Fourth Lord, please do not disturb His Highness. He is currently meditating to protect himself, his daily dose of poison has flared up today."

Li Butler finished speaking and sighed, "This servant will go get hot water for the Young Master, and later wipe his face."

Feng Lingxi stared at the frost gradually covering Dugu Su's body. She held a silver needle and lightly touched the frost on his eyebrows, then placed it on the ground. Today was sunny, and the ground temperature wasn't low. However, there was no sign of melting when placed on top.

"Xiao Li, give me a candle."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes were fixed on the silver needles before her and Du Gu Su's changes as the poison took hold. Watching the frost that covered his body, it seemed like he was about to be encased in ice. The frost was quickly enveloping his entire body. In the blink of an eye, the onset of the poison was so terrifying.

Xiao Li handed the candle to Feng Lingxi. Feng Lingxi placed the silver needle on the candle flame. The frost on the silver needle in the candle flame showed no signs of melting. Feng Lingxi continued to keep it on the flame for about three minutes before the frost on the silver needle began to melt.

Feng Ling Xi was still seeing this kind of situation for the first time.

After a stick of incense, Dugu Su's body was already covered in frost. His face was pale and bloodless, with a thick layer of frost on his eyebrows, like seeing June snowfall, it was frighteningly chilling.

Li Guanjia walked forward with a pot of hot water, wrung out the towel and began wiping the frost from Du Gu Su's face. He wiped away the thick layer of frost, revealing Du Gu Su's pale complexion. Du Gu Su's body was trembling. After Li Guanjia finished wiping him, he hurriedly pushed Du Gu Su into the room.

Feng Lingxi and Du Gu Cheng followed suit. Li Guanjia held a thick quilt and covered it on Du Gu Su's body. The thick blanket wrapped Du Gu Su’s body tightly, he shivered violently, his eyes closed, unaware of what kind of pain he was enduring.

Feng Lingxi, after becoming a doctor, had never seen such a case. She wanted to step forward to check, but Li the Butler hurriedly stopped her.

"Your Highness, the Prince needs rest now. Please understand, Fourth Royal Wife."

"Does he always act like this after a relapse"

Li Guanta nodded, “The time of the poison attack is becoming more and more frequent. With the hot weather, the attacks are happening more and more frequently.” Li Guanta brought another quilt to wrap Su Wang, Feng Lingxi looked at Su Wang's room, everything was simple to the point of being bare, you could say there wasn't a single valuable thing.

"Ye Xi, go to the mansion and bring several maidservants over to serve Wang Su at the Su Wangfu. This Su Wangfu doesn't even have a single servant, it's simply unacceptable."

Du Gu Cheng spoke, Li the steward hurriedly stopped him, "Fourth Prince, please don't, The Empress Dowager has given an order, no one from the Su Manor besides this old servant can appear in the Su Manor."

Feng Lingxi frowned, "Why"

"This king will tell the Emperor myself. Ye Xi, go take care of it."

Ye Xi responded and went out. Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Li the Butler could only answer Feng Lingxi's question, "This is a punishment for His Highness. He has remained unmarried until now."

Feng Lingxi responded with a gasp. Such treatment, I'm afraid, is unprecedented in history. Empress Cen was truly ruthless towards King Su.

After an incense stick's worth of time, Du Gu Su slowly opened his eyes, as if he had experienced a century. His eyes were bloodshot, and he saw that both Du Gu Cheng and Feng Ling Xi were still there, which surprised him.

"Second brother, how are you feeling"

Dugu Cheng hurried forward, reaching out to channel his inner energy to help him, but Dugu Su held him back, weakly saying, "No need."

"Your Majesty, may I take your pulse to make a diagnosis"

Feng Lingxi opened her mouth and, looking at Dugu Su's gaze fixed on her, explained, "I just want to confirm whether my guess is correct."

What capacity are you using to take the pulse

"Yao Clan Saint Lord."

Feng Lingxi's eyes were firm. What she was doing now was something Empress Cen forbid her from doing, so naturally, she used the identity of the Holy Master of the Yao Clan. If she used the identity of the Fourth Princess, she would not be allowed to diagnose like this, even if it was herself.

Dugu Su witnessed the process of this poison taking effect firsthand. Such pain could not be faked. The imperial concubine Cen had already recovered, and now what she needed to do was understand the poison of the frost flower and find a way to detoxify it.

Du Gu Su nodded, gesturing for Feng Ling Xi to take his pulse.

Feng Lingxi diagnosed very carefully. After a while, he said, “The pulse is weak now and I haven't detected anything amiss.”

Dugu Su nodded, "These are normal after the poison takes effect."

"The pulse of the Princess Consort of Pingnan was quite weak. I don't know what happened to her after she was poisoned, and haven't seen her yet. I will go ask for details another day."

Feng Lingxi finished speaking, took out a silver needle and pierced it again. She looked at the frost changing on the silver needle, her eyes narrowed slightly, and silently put the silver needle away.

"Her body couldn't hold out for long."

Dugu Su's voice was laced with a touch of pity and helplessness as she watched Feng Lingxi put away the silver needles.

"If you need to research about frostflowers, you can ask this King anytime, as long as the fourth brother doesn't mind."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City, and said faintly, "He won't mind."

Dugu Cheng responded, clutching Dugu Su's hand. It was ice-cold, devoid of any warmth, and his body was weak. This wasn't feigned weakness.

"Your Majesty, there is something I wish to tell you truthfully. I don't know if it's appropriate."

Feng Lingxi hesitated for a moment before asking. Seeing Dugu Su nod, she voiced her doubts, "Is the Frostfall Flower on Pingnan Wangfei's body related to you"

Dugu Su was clearly taken aback, and then looked at Feng Lingxi with a look of confusion in her eyes.

"The Fourth Royal Consort suspects this King"

"Yes."

Feng Ling Xi's eyes were resolute, this answer made Du Gu Su give a bitter smile.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint the Fourth Princess. This king understands the pain of this poison well. How could he let a beloved Southern Pingnan Princess suffer from it"

Feng Lingxi furrowed her brows, "Isn't it true that you don't hear what's happening outside the window How do you know that Princess Pingnan is so popular with the people"

This statement is clearly contradictory.

But, if Dugu Su was deceiving her, why would he deceive her To gain sympathy from her using his current state of frost flower poison outbreak, concealing what he had done

"Xier, even Er Ge is tired. Let him rest, and we shouldn't disturb him."

Dugu Cheng patted Dugu Su's hand, "Second brother, your body is too weak. This king will have Xi'er prepare some medicinal recipes for you later, and let the maids in the mansion cook them for you to nourish your body well."nd Feng Ling Xi were entertaining Wan'er to sleep, watching the Queen hold her little one, with a smile on her face. Xiao Li reminded her, "You should also get some rest."The princess has lost a lot o...
