Chapter 22 My Young Master Was Poisoned

just hiding too well." Feng Ling Xi narrowed her eyes, watching Feng Cang Kai's furrowed brows, "Grandfather, to be honest with you, I've had people from the Yao clan investigate this period, but we h...After dropping a harsh remark, Feng Lingxi entered the room, shut the door, and saw Dugu Cheng sitting on her bed. Her face changed drastically, she hurried over and glared at him, "How did you come here again Didn't I say that if I see you, I will kill you."

The embroidery needle in her sleeve shot towards him, but Dugu City's figure flashed, pushing her onto the bed and pinning her down.

"I'm here because I need to speak with you. Please just listen to me first."

Feng Lingxi broke free from his grasp, looking at Xiaoli, "Get to the point, don't waste time here."

"Rest assured, your maidservant has been acupuncture-pointed. Even if a hundred people came outside, they wouldn't dare to enter."

Dugu City was stunned by the wedding dress on her, amazed by her beauty. She truly deserved to be called the first beauty of the capital, so beautiful it took one's breath away.

"Are you done yet If not, I'll..."

Before Feng Ling Xi could finish her words, Du Gu Cheng clutched his chest, his handsome face contorted in pain. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of his lips as he slumped onto the floor beside the bed, his complexion as pale as paper.

"What's wrong"

Feng Lingxi hurried forward, grabbed his hand and felt his pulse, her face changing drastically.

"How did you get poisoned again"

Dugu Cheng wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, looking at her worried expression. Blood welled up again from the corner of his lips, and his handsome face was even paler.

"I met a villain who was skilled in using poison. I was unfortunately ambushed by him and didn't have time to do anything else. I had to come to you and see if there's any way to save myself."

"Be quiet."

Feng Lingxi looked at his pale and handsome face. There were dozens of servants guarding outside, yet she had a man who had spent the night with her hidden in her room. Feng Lingxi felt that she must be afraid of him exposing their relationship, otherwise, why would she want to save him

Dugu Cheng leaned against the head of the bed. On his wedding night, he could be considered back. The bridal chamber was filled with flowers and candles, and he could finally achieve it.

Looking at Feng Lingxi taking out the medicinal herbs from the box and quickly preparing an antidote for him, Dugu Cheng weakly asked, "How did you bring so many medicinal herbs in your dowry"

Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look. "If it weren't for these herbs, you would have died tonight."

Without silver needles, I could only disinfect the embroidery needle with a candle and help him bleed.

“The first time I saw a doctor so cold…” Before he could finish his words, Dugu Cheng frowned in pain and looked at Feng Lingxi, “You’re being too rough.”

"Just kidding, I wouldn't dare take your life later."

Even in this situation, he still has the heart to talk to her Does he truly believe she can save him

"See you later."

After Dugu Cheng finished speaking, he closed his eyes. He really couldn't hold on any longer; the poison was too strong.

Feng Lingxi continued to administer acupuncture, shoving the medicinal pills made from herbs into his mouth. She walked to Xiaoli's side and helped her sit down on a chair nearby.

After finishing all that, Feng Lingxi was exhausted and wiped the sweat from her forehead. A wedding night this exciting, she probably had it all to herself

Outside the courtyard, Zhao Mamama took everyone away. A figure leaped down and darted into Feng Lingxi's room.

"Who"

Feng Lingxi rose swiftly, and the person in the night clothes hurried forward. Upon seeing Feng Lingxi, they immediately pulled down their face veil, "Your Highness, it's me."

Ye Xi glanced at the King, then bowed to Feng Ling Xi and thanked her, "Thank you, Princess Consort, for your help."

"His poison has been cured, take him away, and don't come back."

Ye Xi knelt on one knee, "Your Highness, I have a request, and I hope you will help me."

Feng Lingxi watched him kneel, her face changing slightly.

"What are you doing"

A sense of foreboding washed over her, and Feng Lingxi felt a growing irritability.

"You wouldn't want to leave him here with me, would you"

"My young master was poisoned and can't wake up for a while. The person who poisoned him hasn't been caught yet. I hope the princess will take my young master in for a few days until I catch the culprit and come to pick him up."

Feng Lingxi's face sank. She knew this was how it would be.

Looking at his pleading expression, Feng Lingxi felt a surge of anger.

"Do you know my situation How can I help you He promised me he wouldn't pester me once I cured him, but… You guys are really infuriating."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists, so angry she could spit blood, staring at him kneeling on the ground, that pleading expression, it was infuriating.

"The Princess is exceptionally intelligent and will surely have a way. In just two days, I will come to take the young master away. Please, Princess, lend us your help. This favor, my young master will certainly repay you in the future."

Feng Lingxi glanced at Dugu City. Although the poison had been cured, he wouldn't wake up for a while. It was too dangerous to leave him in her courtyard. She had to keep it a secret from everyone, and just thinking about it made her head ache.

"My Queen, please..."

Ye Xi spoke again, pleading, "You've already helped him with the antidote, just take him in for two days."

"If he wakes up, I'll let him go. That's my limit."

Ye Xi hurriedly thanked him, glanced at the King, and quickly left Feng Ling Xi's room.

Feng Lingxi looked at the two people in the room, her head was getting bigger.

Does she still have time to sleep tonight

The Si Wangfu came with a warning. This Dugu City is hiding in her room again, along with Xiao Li. This matter is probably impossible to hide from Xiao Li.

Someone had to watch over Dugu City for her. Otherwise, if she was discovered, she would be finished.

Feng Lingxi woke up Xiao Li, and when Xiao Li opened her eyes, she saw the princess. Her gaze fell on the man behind the princess, causing her to cover her mouth in fright and stare at the princess in terror.

"Xiaoli, don't speak, listen to me."

Xiaoli nodded vigorously, her eyes nearly popping out of her head as she listened to the young lady's words.

"Little Li, you are mine, I need your help with this."

"Your Highness, if we are discovered, this would be a crime punishable by the annihilation of nine generations."

Little Li was very scared. When the madam asked her if the princess's reputation had been ruined, she still said no. Unexpectedly, the princess's innocence was really gone. Now the man who had spent a night with the princess is clinging to her.

"You know the gravity of the situation, starting now, you do as I command, or we're both dead."

Feng Lingxi instructed Xiao Li to stand guard at the door. Feng Lingxi leaned back in a chair, closing her eyes for two hours' nap. After that, Zhao Mammy's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. It's time to rise and pay respects to the Dowager Queen."

Feng Lingxi opened her eyes and heard Zhao Mama's voice. She glanced at Xiao Li, saw her approaching, and whispered, "Miss, it's only five o'clock."

"Your Highness, it's time to get up and pay respects to the Dowager Empress."

Zhao Mamá pounded on the door, Feng Lingxi glanced at the man on the bed, and said coldly, "Wait outside."

Feng Lingxi walked to the bed and, seeing Dugu City open his eyes, pulled him up. "Go hide over there and don't make a sound," she said.

Dugu City glanced at the door, got up and quickly hid behind the screen.

Feng Lingxi saw that he had hidden well, checked the room, making sure everything was in order, then signaled Xiao Li to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Grandma Zhao led a group of maids in, her eyes sweeping across the room. “How come the princess woke up so late and only now allowed this old servant in Isn't someone hiding in this room”erature was slightly warm, but Qiu'er didn't react at all. She just sat there, leaning against the bathtub. Feng Lingxi walked over with a blanket and covered her from the neck down to prevent the wat...
