ao Zhi a chance to explain Could Yao Zhi admit his crime of treason against the clanFor a moment, the elders wavered again."Do as the Chieftain says, Second Elder. I entrust this matter to you. When Y..."That's a good way to deal with people like them, but haven't the Yu family people caused you trouble"
Since they dare to come looking for him, they must have threatened Feng Aotian. They threatened a high-ranking official of the imperial court. They really don't take Feng Aotian seriously. Even if the court doesn't favor him, he is still a general who guards the country.
"Of course there was, they threatened me and said they would go to the capital to file a complaint, so I let them go."
Feng Lingxi smiled, "They really dare to say that the current emperor is a wise ruler of our time. They were wrong in the first place and refused to repent. They colluded with officials in the court, deceived their superiors, and oppressed the people. If the Emperor knew about this, wouldn't he exterminate their entire clan"
"That's really hard to say."
Feng Aotian looked at Feng Lingxi, "However, they don't have the guts to actually file a complaint against us, unless they are unbearable. Besides, their relatives in the court are not easy to deal with either, how could they let them run wild"
"Take care of yourself."
"Rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen is also involved in this matter. Even if the Emperor doesn't believe me, he wouldn't disregard the Prince of Chen. Besides, there is still the Empress Dowager in this palace."
Feng Lingxi let out an "um" and didn't say much. What power did this Dugu City have now With his current frail body and empty authority, he was no match for Feng Aotiān's influence in the court.
Feng Aotian saw Feng Ling and remained silent. He thought it was because he mentioned Dugu City, so he quickly changed the subject, "Xier, after your grandfather's seventh day of mourning passes, I want to ask you a favor."
"You said."
Feng Lingxi's ease left Feng Aotien a little stunned. He came back to his senses and looked at her with joy, "Actually it's not very troublesome, I just want you to prescribe some medicine for me, and I'll bring it back to the capital to give to an old friend."
What kind of medicine
Feng Aotiān's old friend, it seems they have a pretty good relationship. However, since she promised, Feng Lingxi wouldn't break her word.
"She often took medicine to regulate her body, because she was always cold and frequently had aches all over."
"Without taking your pulse, it's difficult to prescribe the right medicine."
Feng Lingxi finished speaking and added, “Even if I give you medicine, the effect may not be good.”
"It's alright," she said, "as long as this ailment of body pain can be relieved." Feng Aotien said this, his expression slightly awkward. Feng Lingxi glanced at him and asked, "Is it muscle pain throughout your body, or somewhere else"
"Every month during her period, she said she felt particularly cold and the pain was excruciating. Every time it was so severe that she felt like she was dying. She had seen many doctors but there was no improvement."
Is it dusk already
Feng Aotian stiffened, looking at Feng Lingxi's calm eyes and nodding slightly.
"Yes."
"It's probably just period pain, isn't it Maybe she's sick"
Feng Aotien looked embarrassed, but still nodded.
She refused to speak, but now she's become a monster, neither human nor ghost. And, she even gave birth to a child, ever since the child was born, her illness came back, every time it pains her half to death, she grows thinner and thinner, almost becoming unrecognizable.
Feng Lingxi was surprised to hear this. Wasn't Feng Yu Xi with Luo Li before the storm
How could it have come to this
"Where is Luo Li Didn't she go to look for him"
"That child is Luo Li."
Feng Aotians words struck Feng Lingxi like a bolt of lightning, leaving her mind blank. She stared at Feng Aotian in disbelief, seeing the sigh he let out and the despondent look on his face.
"It's her own fault, she brought this upon herself."
Feng Aotian’s words sounded that way, but his tone still couldn’t hide the regret. After all, Feng Yu Xi was his flesh and blood. To see him end up like this, he truly didn’t want to witness it.
"Didn't that child take anything when they left" This child of Luo Li, if they were a girl, could possibly inherit the chieftain position from Luo Li.
"Luo Li shouldn't have left. It was all that stupid woman's fault. She went to any lengths to get pregnant with Luo Li's child, and she didn't even consider her own status before doing such a foolish thing. If not for seeing her in this state of dying, I really wouldn't want to bother with her."
"But didn't you still care about her" Feng Lingxi's tone remained calm.
Feng Aotian thought Feng Lingxi didn't want to, "Xi'er, if you don't want to save her, just pretend I never said anything. I know about your past grievances with her, what she's going through now is her retribution."
“Tell me about her situation in detail, so I can prescribe medicine for her. Whether it works or not depends on her own fate. That child, since she gave birth to him herself, just take good care of him. Children are innocent.”
Feng Aotian was full of shock, never expecting Feng Lingxi to say such things. He hurriedly thanked her, "Xier, thank you really. I also feel sorry for the child. The child is only a little over a year old."
Feng Aotian's voice choked, "It's a girl, but...I fear she doesn't have much time left. The mother carried poison with her."
Feng Lingxi, hearing that her mother carried poison within her, thought back to when she gave birth to Siqi and Siyu. She herself had come out poisoned from the womb. Could the poison in her body be the same as the one this person had put there
In a similar situation, Feng Lingxi seemed to be transported back to when her child was born. Her master had told her that the child had been born poisoned, and if it weren't for the master's presence, Siyu and Siqi would have died long ago.
"What's the child's condition now"
"The doctor said the child had both fire and ice in his body. Each time he suffered a relapse, he would either be so cold it was like falling into an ice cellar, or he would feel as if he were on fire. When the relapse hit, the child would almost die."
Feng Ling was astonished, it was exactly the same as the poison that Si Yu and Si Qi had suffered from before. This wasn't a poison she could simply cure; it was more like a gu worm infestation. It was implanted in the fetus during pregnancy, a dual-natured poison. If it were twins, one would carry the female ice poison while the other carried the male fire poison. When the poison took effect, they would each endure the excruciating pain of being eaten away by the gu worms.
This kind of poison will feed on the flesh and blood within the body. As time passes, it grows larger and larger, ultimately consuming all five internal organs and six bowels, bursting forth from the body.
"Did she say who poisoned her"
"She also knew the child didn't have much time left."
Feng Aotian looked at Feng Lingxi's concern, his eyes puzzled.
"Xi'er..."
"I can give you this antidote, but you have to do something for me."
Feng Lingxi interrupted Feng Aotiān, her expression serious. Feng Aotiān was taken aback and hurriedly nodded.
"I need you to find out where this poison originated from."
"Does it matter where this poison came from"
Feng Aotien regretted his words the moment they left his mouth. Seeing Feng Lingxi staring at him, he quickly added, "I didn't mean to get involved. I just wanted to give her a few doses of medicine."
"Siyu and Siqi were also born with the Ice-Fire Poison, just like Feng Yu Xi's children. The difference is that they each have one poison while Feng Yu Xi's children each have double. This means their remaining time is short, and they have to endure double the pain. If you agree to my terms, I will help you cure your child's poison."h General Zhen Guo, so I've invited him to the manor. You go see what's left in the kitchen and bring some over.""No need, I'm not hungry."Feng Aotian hurriedly said, how could he let Feng Lingxi brin...
