Chapter 861 Falling Frost Flower 51

impulsiveness. It was all my fault. I promise I won't do it again next time.""Dugu Cheng, it's good to see you."Feng Lingxi squeezed out a smile at him, recalling their past. She knew he had come to t..."I just want to confirm my guess with King Su."

Feng Lingxi rolled up her wrist and looked at the icy blue flame. The color was too coincidental, exactly the same hue as the ice silkworm's.

As for Xiao Simu, she had the Pingnan Princess convey a message saying that news would likely arrive soon, but she personally felt the chances were slim.

Xiao Simu doesn't seem to need her that much now, whether or not to help depends on him.

"This thing, this king will send someone to investigate secretly. Perhaps it can still be found in the folk."

Speaking of the common people, Feng Ling Xi only then remembered that Luo Ju Zhou had married far away to a frontier region. That could be considered a journey among the common people. Perhaps, it really was the poison of the frontier that did this.

"Alright, I'll ask Luo Li to check it out another day. He should know more about this."

Dugu Cheng responded and looked at Xi'er's thoughtful eyes. He couldn't help but be curious. This poison was strange, why didn't Xi'er mention her master and senior sister

I wanted to ask for clarification, but I thought it wasn't appropriate, so I gave up.

Since the Su Mansion was once again favored by the court, it underwent a significant transformation. The interior of the Su Mansion was reorganized and renovated. Now, the Su Mansion's servants are not inferior to any other mansion; even wet nurses are in charge, ensuring that everything is well-ordered and efficient.

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng were summoned into the Su Wangfu after reporting.

"Second Brother."

Seeing Dugu Su reading a book in the gazebo in the garden, Dugu Cheng called out to him. Dugu Su turned around and looked at them, his complexion much improved, not as pale and bloodless as usual.

"King Su, it's been a long time. You look much better."

When Dugu Su heard Feng Lingxi's words, he was not at all flustered. He smiled faintly and said, "Since there have been no signs of toxicity lately, I am just like any ordinary person."

"Then congratulations to King Su."

Feng Lingxi smiled, and Dugusu motioned for them to sit down and ordered someone to bring tea.

"Nowadays, the Su Mansion is increasingly resembling what a proper mansion should be like."

Feng Ling looked around the palace walls. All the weeds had been cleared, making it much cleaner and more comfortable.

"Yeah."

Du Gu Su's eyes dimmed, "The steward's death brought the manor back to life, but this king lost the best steward he could have had."

"Second brother, is there any progress on the case of the steward being stabbed"

Dugu Su shook his head, "Just like the case of the headless man, there's no clue to be found. What's more, he's just a steward. The investigation has been going on for so long with no results, and the emperor doesn't seem interested in continuing it either. It's probably going to remain unsolved."

"Second Brother still needs to investigate, this king can help where he can, just command him."

Dugu Su said thanks, and looking at Feng Lingxi's pale face, he asked, "Queen Feng, why are you here today Is there something you need from me"

Feng Lingxi didn't beat around the bush, as he had been guessed.

"To be frank, Your Highness King Su, there is something I would like to ask of you."

"If you have something to say, just speak plainly."

"What kind of marks or traces would be on someone poisoned by the Falling Frost Flower"

Feng Lingxi's question made Dugu Su frown, looking at Feng Lingxi, "Fourth Princess Consort isn't unable to research the antidote Why suddenly ask about this"

"I can't develop it, but I didn't say others aren't allowed to."

Feng Lingxi looked at Dugu Su, "Let others research it. However, I don't know much about the poison of Luoshang flower, and I want to ask His Royal Highness King Su for more advice."

Dugu Su nodded, "This king had forgotten, the Fourth Princess is also the saint of the Yao clan. While the Fourth Princess's identity cannot be researched, it was not said that the Yao clan cannot be."

"Fourth Princess, please wait a moment. This King will retrieve the manuscript detailing the poison of Frost Flowers. I have recorded every instance of its effect over these past ten years. I shall fetch it for you right away."

"Thank you, King Su."

Feng Lingxi bowed and thanked him, then Dugu Su turned his wheelchair and went back to his room. Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng sat in the pavilion, watching the changes in the palace, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Unexpectedly, after Su Wangfu made this change, it concealed the remains of an old friend."

"The butler's sacrifice was worthwhile."

Dugu City grasped Feng Lingxi's hand, his eyes full of worry, "Are you feeling unwell"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, signaling to Dugu City that there was no need to worry. If she had any abnormalities in her body, she would notice them.

Moreover, she would take her pulse at intervals to check herself, doing so repeatedly to make sure there were no unnoticed changes in her body.

Dugu Su quickly returned, holding a thick book in his hand. The pages were yellowed, showing that it was quite old.

"This is a record of my experience with Falling Frost Flower written by me after being poisoned. Your Majesty, could you please help"

Feng Ling Xi took it and flipped through it. Since he was poisoned, every time after a relapse, he would describe his symptoms in detail. Some entries were short, but they concisely depicted his condition at the time.

"Thank you, King Su."

Feng Lingxi put the books away and looked at Dugu Su, "In a few days it will be King Su's wedding day, and Ah Cheng and I don't know what to give you. We'll prepare a gift for you then, hoping you'll like it."

When it came to the wedding, Dugu Su's face paled slightly, and a fleeting sadness in his eyes was caught by Feng Lingxi.

He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Feng Lingxi feigned confusion and asked, "Does His Royal Highness the King of Su disapprove of this marriage"

Dugu Su shook her head, looking at the two of them, "This crippled body of mine, anyone willing to marry me is already very content. Being able to live one day is one day, it's just that the Pingxi Wangfu's Luo County Master has been wronged."

"Second Brother, don't say such things. There will always be a way to cure the poison on you. Another day, this king will go to the emperor and plead with the Empress Dowager for your pardon and to have the poison removed."

"Fourth brother is kind, this king understands. But I'm afraid the Empress Dowager won't agree."

Dugu Su coughed a few times, covering her mouth. Her face was a bit pale. “My frail body, even if the poison is cured, I'm afraid I don't have many days left. There's no need to cause any trouble.”

Feng Lingxi seeing him so dejected, spoke up, "Why don't I take your pulse for you"

Dugu Su stretched out his hand on the table, Feng Lingxi took out a silk handkerchief and placed it on his wrist, deliberately revealing the mark of the ice-blue flame on his pulse. Dugu Su's eyes saw the mark at once, the curiosity in his eyes couldn't escape Feng Lingxi's gaze.

"What's wrong with Fourth Princess's wrist"

Feng Lingxi heard him shout like that and hurriedly covered her mouth, "This appeared suddenly these days, I don't know what's going on."

Dugu Su's eyes were filled with confusion. Feng Ling Xi looked at him with a strange expression, curiously asking, "Your Highness King Su, do you know about this mark"

"I seem to recall seeing this mark in a book once. It looked like a symptom of poisoning, Your Highness. Are you not aware"

"Symptoms of poisoning"

Feng Lingxi and Dugu Cheng looked at each other, both were surprised. They didn't expect Dugu Su to know about this body's condition, which was unexpected.

獨孤蘇 saw that she didn't know, his eyes full of confusion.

"The Fourth Royal Wife is also a master of poisons. How could she not know this"

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "I've never heard of such a poison. I wonder if His Royal Highness, King Su, could tell me more about it"

Dugu Su narrowed her eyes, "Please, Fourth Royal Consort, tell me truthfully, why would there be such a mark Who did this" her beautiful eyes swept over the crowd before her."When did this happen I have no idea.""Who do you think you are to know about this"That person's attitude was extremely arrogant, not taking Feng Li...
