iently. She smiled and gave him a piece of meat, "Here, have some."Dugu Cheng wasn't doing this to get food, he just felt that Xi Er had a misunderstanding about him. He didn't want her to be angry an..."It should be fine."

Dugu Cheng looked at Pasha, "Thank you, Master Pasha, for your kindness and saving my life. This king will never forget it. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, please feel free to ask."

Pash lifted his hand, "Your Highness needn't be so courteous. I saved the Princess simply because I want her to do me a favor, and I don't need your grace's favor. Besides, my matter is something Your Highness can't help with."

Dugu Cheng glanced at Feng Lingxi, "Since that's the case, then thank you."

"My Lord, Pasha wouldn't make things difficult for the Crown Princess. Rest assured." Shangguan Huan spoke up, alleviating Dugu City's worries.

"Gu Li, please get me the things for a medicinal bath."

Pasa shouted, and Guli hurriedly went up to help. Feng Yumuo hurried to follow, "Master Pasa, let me help you."

He helped his sister without asking for any reward. He could only do so much.

Furthermore, the ancient techniques of weaponry that Gu Li taught him were very useful. In addition, Gu Li's set of light kung fu was simply a life-saving skill for escaping danger. Gu Li said that he would also teach him, and Feng Yu Mo naturally wanted to learn from her. Therefore, when they found an opportunity, they practiced together with Gu Li.

Pasha wasn't too averse to Feng Yu Mo's attentions. After all, he was the princess's younger brother, and besides, he was handsome and a young general. If he could truly be with Gu Li, this girl would finally have a place to belong and someone to protect her.

"Shangguan Huan, this time I've put you through a lot of trouble, Your Majesty owes you a favor."

Dugu Cheng bowed to Shangguan Huan in gratitude. These past few days, Shangguan Huan's care for Xi'er was evident to him. He had seen with his own eyes how Shangguan Huan helped Pasha gather medicinal herbs and prepare medicines for Xi'er. All of this was deeply appreciated.

"Your Highness needn't be so courteous," Shangguan Huan bowed. "The Princess has shown kindness to me, and I, Shangguan Huan, repay kindness with kindness. Besides, serving the Princess is my duty."

"Still, thank you."

Shangguan Huan nodded and glanced around the room. "Your Highness should go see the Princess Consort. These past few days, the Princess Consort has woken up, and some things should become clear."

"Shangguan Huan, there's something I need you to help with. Could you please make a trip and tell Ye Xi that he needs to hold on for three more days We still have three days left."

"Okay, I'll be back before dark."

Shangguan Huan took his sword and went out. He greeted Pasha at the door before leaving.

Dugu Cheng entered the room and saw Feng Ling Xi lying on the bed, her complexion pale. The worm had been removed, but it seemed as if she had suffered a serious illness, with no trace of blood color in her face.

"Xier."

Dugu Cheng took Feng Lingxi's hand, that slender wrist, the long ten fingers. Although she had been eating more these days, Xi'er hadn't gained weight, but rather had become even thinner than before.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry. Regarding this... matter, I will investigate it thoroughly and give you an explanation. Please get well soon." Many words were stuck in his throat. Looking at Xi'er's face, he swallowed them back down.

He never expected this to have anything to do with his mother, she said this terrifying poison was for helping them have children. If it hadn't been discovered this time, by the time three months passed, Xi'er would have died from the poison, he really didn't know how he would face Wan'er.

During dinner time, Feng Lingxi underwent her first medicinal treatment. Dugu Cheng watched over her the whole time. Most of the medicinal ingredients were poisonous. This large pot of concoction had a strange smell, indescribable in words.

Feng Lingxi needs to be medicated inside for one and a half hours, repeated three days, before she can recover.

Dugu Cheng stood beside Feng Lingxi, Pasha had specially instructed him that he needed to wipe the sweat from Xi'er's brow and not let it get into her eyes, otherwise, it would hurt her eyes.

Du Gucheng didn't dare to neglect, he guarded for an hour and a half, constantly changing his handkerchief.

Feng Ling Xi had remained unconscious ever since. After the medicine was administered, she fell into a deep sleep.

"Pash, when will Xi'er wake up"

Since this morning, Xi'er has not woken up, and she hasn't taken a single drop of food. Duguo City is worried that her body won't hold out.

Pashas felt her pulse and looked at Feng Lingxi's slightly pale complexion, "After removing the worm, it's normal for her to fall into a sleep. Plus, the medicine I gave her has a sedative effect, after the medicine wears off, she will wake up, probably in about six hours."

"Does this medicine's effect last for six hours"

"Half a time, the medicine water soaks in the skin, it works and spreads. Six hours, almost all gone."

Pasha didn't think there was anything wrong, but Dugu City heard about such a long-lasting medicine for the first time. However, calculating the time, Xier would also wake up tomorrow morning.

Glancing at the sky outside, Dugu City felt a twinge of worry.

"Yǔmò, if Shàngguān Huàn comes back, tell me."

Feng Yu Mo nodded, Shangguan Huan said to come back later. It was already dark, and he hadn't returned yet. She worried that something had happened to him.

Pasha smiled, "Don't worry, his martial arts are pretty good, he should be fine."

Only then did Dugu Cheng feel a little more at ease. Pasha seemed to know Shangguan Huan better than he did, perhaps they knew each other well before. Although Shangguan Huan didn't say anything, these past few days, Dugu Cheng could tell that Shangguan Huan and Pasha should be acquainted.

As Pasha said, Shangguan Huan returned half an hour later unharmed and informed Ye Xi that everything was taken care of.

"Shangguan Huan, what's the situation outside"

Shangguan Huan ate while saying, "It's nothing, Ye Xi dealt with it very well. These days, she's been wandering around the mountains, almost turning the whole mountain upside down."

"How did you find him"

Speaking of this, Shangguan Huan couldn't help but smile.

"He made such a commotion, he practically wanted everyone to know you were gone. There's movement in these mountains, finding him won't be easy."

Dugu Cheng nodded, "It seems that Ye Xi is really going all out this time."

After the meal, Shangguan Huan asked, "How is the Princess doing Has she woken up"

"No, Pasha said after the medicine works, it'll be tomorrow morning."

"Pasa said that tomorrow should be alright, Your Highness. You should rest early and not think too much about it. The Princess Consort will be fine."

Dugu Cheng responded, letting Shangguan Huan go to rest. He himself came to the outside of the house. Although the weather had warmed somewhat now, it was still cold.

Dugu Cheng let out a long sigh, raising his head to gaze at the night sky. His heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions.

"Brother-in-law, why aren't you sleeping"

After dinner, Feng Yu went out to practice light kung fu. When he returned, he saw Dugu City standing there sighing and greeted him.

"Can't sleep."

Feng Yu Mo wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I'll keep my brother-in-law company."

Dugu City did not move. "Xi'er woke up early this morning. I hope she can recover her memory, but I am also afraid that once she recovers her memory, she will know about the poisoning and miscarriage. I don't know how to face her."

"Brother-in-law, your sister isn't the kind of person who would be unreasonable. Don't overthink it. Tomorrow when your sister wakes up, Yumo will explain everything to her."

Dugu Cheng responded, "You go rest for a while. I'll be here later."

A night breeze rustled through the air. Despite his exhaustion these past few days, Dugong City couldn't sleep. He was more afraid of facing Xi’er after she woke up and learning about the poison their imperial concubine had given her, causing a miscarriage.ugu Cheng's voice was cold and sharp, "Whether or not Xi'er returns to the Yao clan is her own business, it has nothing to do with Gongzi Luo.""Such persistence."Feng Lingxi coldly stared at Luo Li, "...
