ient times, emperors have been the most ruthless. What if one day Dugu Cheng became emperor Would he also scheme against those around him At that time, would she still be able to get along with him li..."Grandpa, he's even less likely."

Feng Cangkai's eyes were deep, he looked at Du Gucheng and reminded him, "The more impossible something is, the more likely it is to happen."

"Grandpa, who are you talking about"

Dugu City fell silent, and said, “This king will go find out.”

Feng Cangkai nodded, "During your absence from the capital city, this old minister will ensure A'er's safety. You can go with peace of mind, but remember, in everything, do not be careless."

Dugu Cheng raised his wine cup to Feng Cangkai, "Thank you, Grandfather. This prince will keep your words in mind."

Feng Lingxi, seeing that they did not answer her, could not help but be more curious about the person they spoke of.

After dinner, Feng Lingxi sent Feng Cangkai back to the General's Mansion. Feng Cangkai instructed her a few words and then returned to the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

All the way, Dugu City looked preoccupied. Feng Lingxi's words reached her lips but were swallowed back.

She rarely saw Du Gucheng like this. Watching his face full of disbelief, until she returned to the General's Mansion, Feng Lingxi couldn't hold it in anymore and asked Du Gucheng.

"Who is the person grandpa was talking about Why did you react like that"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Ling Xi's curious eyes, pulled her to sit on a stool, poured her a cup of water, and told her in detail.

"He is the second prince of the emperor, also the one that the emperor is most reluctant to mention among his many sons."

Duke Gucheng looked at Feng Lingxi and patted her hand, "Another day, this king will take you to see him."

"Okay."

It's rare to see Dugu City so unwilling to mention someone. Feng Lingxi went to investigate this so-called Second Prince, Dugu Su. He is a year older than Dugu City. At the age of three, he began studying literature, at five, martial arts, and at thirteen, he followed the previous emperor to the battlefield. Due to his intelligence and familiarity with various military strategies, he made many achievements. However, for some unknown reason, he fell seriously ill the following year, losing sensation in both legs. Afterward, the previous emperor sought out famous doctors all over the world to treat him, but there was no improvement whatsoever. He was then placed in Su Wangfu to recuperate, and he hasn't been involved in government affairs for six or seven years now.

"Xiaoli, don't you think this is a bit strange You said that if King Su was indeed poisoned and paralyzed from the waist down, why didn't the late emperor mention it to me when he knew about my medical skills"

This is one point, the second is this King Su. Since he's still alive, why hasn't anyone in the court mentioned his existence If Feng Lingxi hadn't found out today, she wouldn't have known that there was such a King Su in the Great Yuan Dynasty.

“Now that I hear them talk about this King Su like this, this servant feels very suspicious. This King Su was also a prince who fought on the battlefield with the late emperor. According to them, King Su should be an excellent prince. Why didn't the late emperor ask you to try it” Xiao Li looked at the princess and asked after a long silence, “Is it because the late emperor already felt that King Su was beyond saving”

Feng Lingxi shook her head, "Impossible. When the previous emperor was poisoned, he almost died. I also cured him. If the previous emperor truly cared about this King Su, why wouldn't he save him Unless..."

Feng Lingxi narrowed her eyes, the expression on Dugu Cheng's face when he didn't want to talk about it flashing in her mind, "This King of Su really has a problem."

"Does the Queen mean that this King Su might have once harbored thoughts of rebellion"

Maybe so.

Feng Lingxi looked at Xiao Li and shook the thoughts in her head, "Go check where this Su Wangfu is located. On another day, we'll go see this King Su."

This suddenly appearing King of Su, Feng Ling Xi calculated, the several princes of the previous emperor, it has to be said, were truly excellent.

Duke Gucheng was a renowned warrior since his youth, having fought countless battles and emerged victorious each time, earning him the title of "War God". This King Su, had he not been struck by a severe poison that left him with crippled legs, would likely be the one bearing the title of "War God".

"Xier."

Shutai's voice interrupted Feng Lingxi's thoughts. Seeing Shutai arrive, Xiaoli hurriedly stepped aside. Feng Lingxi got up and walked towards Shutai.

"Mother."

Feng Lingxi glanced at the soup that Shutai's maidservant was holding behind her. Her heart secretly cried out in pain. For these two days, her mother had been served almost nothing but soup, fearing she wouldn't gain weight. Although she and Dugucheng had been together day and night these past few days, this pampering was too obvious.

The Shu Tai Fei smiled brightly.

"Mother Concubine has simmered a nourishing chicken soup for you, promising City'er to plump you up like a little tiger. Mother Concubine cannot break her promise."

Shutai's gaze fell on Feng Lingxi's covered neckline. Her eyes seemed to see through the traces under her collar, causing Feng Lingxi's face to flush uncontrollably.

"Thank you, mother."

Shutai gave Feng Lingxi a bowl of hot soup. Watching Feng Lingxi politely drink the soup, the unfathomable meaning in Shutai's eyes made Feng Lingxi wish she could finish it all at once so her mother-in-law would leave sooner.

"Xi'er, tomorrow the city will be going out on campaign. You'd better hurry up tonight."

"Ahem..."

Feng Lingxi was taken aback by what Shu Taifei said. Shu Taifei hurriedly got up and patted her back, "You child, why such a big reaction."

Feng Lingxi's ears were flushed red. He had been so direct, how could she not react

Shutai felt as if she understood, smiling and explaining, "What my empress means is that you and Cheng'er have anything to say, say it tonight so that after Cheng'er sets out, you won't worry."

Feng Ling Xi let out a hum, her cheeks still burning. It seemed that the implied suggestion was the most likely to be misunderstood; she had thought Mother Empress was urging her to have a child.

The Dowager Empress patted her back, softly saying, "Yesterday, this imperial concubine heard that you asked someone about Wang Su. Thinking that Cheng'er hadn't told you."

When mentioning King Su, Feng Lingxi raised her eyes to look at Shu Taifei. She could only see the latter let out a soft sigh.

"Mother, do you know King Su"

Feng Lingxi, after asking the question, felt that she had been rather foolish. Although her mother concubine hadn't been in the palace for long, she must have known about this sort of thing.

Shutai nodded, "Su Wang can also be said to have been raised by his mother concubine. Since childhood, Cheng'er and several princes have relatively little interaction, only Su Wang is an exception. They are a year apart in age. When they were young, Su Wang was the most outstanding among many princes, but he was young and vigorous, not understanding how to be restrained and keep a low profile."

This also means that King Su being too outstanding would be envied by others. In this harem, princes who are not born to the empress, if they are too outstanding, it is easy to get into trouble.

"So, was King Su poisoned intentionally"

The Empress Dowager looked at Feng Lingxi, "I presume you know who the poisoner is"

The King of Su's excellence threatened Dugu Yan's position as Crown Prince. As Dugu Yan was born to Empress Cen, who is the poisoner One needs only to guess.

"Mother, doesn't the late emperor care"

The Empress Dowager Shu looked at Feng Lingxi, "After King Su was poisoned, your father emperor also investigated it, but it was never resolved later. Mother concubine doesn't have to say anything, you can probably guess one or two things."

"But in this way, King Su is truly pitiful."

Feng Lingxi clenched her fists tightly, "Where's the concubine mother of King Su She just hasn't..."

“It was because of the investigation that Su Wang’s mother concubine had an accident.”l repulsed by her.Feng Lingxi looked at the jade pendant in her hand, unconsciously clenching it. Looking into Lu's wife's loving eyes, she nodded and wore the jade around her neck.“Thank you, Mrs. Lu...
