Chapter 1129 Ghost Saint Kingdom 90

i said meekly, and Huang Fu Qingyun nodded, "This matter doesn't need you to handle it. I will take care of it myself. I just wanted to tell you so that you wouldn't be unhappy and misunderstand me."...Dugu City looked at his wrist in disbelief, "You said this king was poisoned How is that possible This king has been in good health recently, how could he be poisoned"

Li Wuyan glared at him, and Dugu City explained, "Your Majesty, I don't doubt your medical skills. It's just that if Your Majesty were poisoned, why haven't you shown any symptoms"

“Because the poison is now in her, the residual toxins within you no longer have much effect on you. However, your poison has reached her, killing the child and nearly costing her her life. This poison is extremely rare; its toxicity isn't very strong and requires over a month to accumulate and take effect. Once the mother conceives, the toxin will transfer to the fetus. As long as the mother miscarries, the toxins will spread, and the mother will succumb to poisoning.”

Li Wuyan said this, Dugu City was full of disbelief. Raising poison for a month, and transferring it to the child's body, then using miscarriage to let the mother become poisoned, was this poison over the past month...

It's impossible, Mother Empress wouldn't possibly do such a thing.

He is the Empress Dowager's biological son, even if she has amnesia, the Empress Dowager would not poison him.

This poison has a nice-sounding name, "Hejiu," and it's usually drunk by both spouses at the same time. Both parties must take the medicine for more than a month.

"Does this medicine also have aphrodisiac effects"

獨孤城雙拳握緊，多麼希望厲無炎告訴他不是，可是厲無炎點了點頭，獨孤城的心裡涼了一大截，怎麼會是母妃，他的生母，竟然給他下毒。

He had thought of many possibilities, but he never imagined that his mother would be the murderer of his child, and almost killed Xi'er as well.

"It seems you already have the answer, knowing who it was for."

Li Wuyan continued to give Feng Lingxi acupuncture, without saying much.

Dugu City watched from the side, Xi'er's face had no blood color at all. The doctor's words yesterday made him afraid, and Li Wu Yan's words today made him even more afraid.

He didn't know how to face her when she woke up, and what would happen if she found out it was his mother who had done this How would she view him and his mother then

An unprecedented panic gripped Du Gu Cheng's heart. He stood there, utterly dumbfounded, watching Li Wu Yan administer acupuncture to Xi Er.

Every stitch felt like it was piercing his heart, the pain was suffocating.

Li Wuyan finished his examination and sat down to the side.

"How long will it take Xi'er to recover"

"Both confinement and postpartum recovery take at least a month. She's extremely weak right now, plus she drank a lot of tonics before, which after the major impact of giving birth, must have severely depleted her body. She needs to rest and recuperate properly for a while."

"Li Wuyan, could you stay and treat Xi'er You can set the conditions."

Li Wuyan looked at Dugu City, his eyes still as cold as before, but he spoke.

"What conditions would you agree to"

"Yes."

Li Wuyan held the teacup on the table and took a sip, "If I let Feng Lingxi and you part ways Would you agree"

Dugu Cheng looked at him in bewilderment, "As long as I can agree to yours, except for harming my family."

"For now, I don't know what I want. You owe me that."

Thank you.

Dugu Cheng expressed his gratitude, although he didn't know what Li Wuyan wanted. However, as long as he could cure Xi'er, Dugu Cheng was willing to agree to Li Wuyan's demands.

"About this, I hope you won't tell Xi'er. She can't handle any stimulation right now. When she's better, I'll explain it to her personally."

Du Gu Cheng's voice was full of pleading, but Li Wu Yan remained unconcerned.

"Do you really think you can keep it from her When she comes to, she'll know how she was poisoned. By then, there's no hiding it."

"At least, not right now. I'm afraid her body couldn't handle it."

Li Wuyan hummed in response, agreeing to Dugu Cheng.

Dugu Cheng's heart was heavy. He had to find out as soon as possible what his mother's intentions were - whether it was intentional or unintentional.

This time back to Beijing, she knew that Xi'er's poison would attack this time, or did she not know, and wanted to wait until the child was born before letting Xi'er's poison erupt, killing two birds with one stone

These need to be investigated clearly.

"This king has arranged accommodation for you. You've worked hard this time."

Li Wuyan nodded and said nothing more.

The atmosphere fell silent. Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Lingxi, who was still unconscious on the couch, and thought of her crying just now. His eyes were full of worry.

"Xi'er had a miscarriage this time, her emotions are very volatile. Plus Wan'er was taken away, she cried. You know Xi'er's personality, she rarely cries, but this time..."

When you are vulnerable, naturally you will cry. You need to vent all the unpleasant feelings in your heart, and she is the same way. Once she vents, she'll be fine.

Li Wuyan quickly answered, his brows furrowed, "How was Wan'er taken"

"Still under investigation, but her whereabouts have been found. She might be related to Huangpu Qingyun."

"Huangfu Qingyun"

Li Wuyan frowned, "It seems that during the time I was in seclusion, quite a few things happened between you."

He suffered from amnesia, and on his wedding day, the bride was taken away by someone who looked like Xi'er.

"You go deal with Wan'er first, I'll stay here and watch over things."

Thank you!

獨孤城看著小璃回來，走到門口，低聲吩咐一聲，便離開去了。

Xiao Li held the freshly-cooked medicine and walked in. Looking at Li Wu Yan, she felt that this Dr. Li's aura was different from before.

"Doctor Li, the medicine is ready. When will the princess wake up after drinking it"

"One hour later."

Xiao Li held the medicine and helped the princess take it. Li Wu Yan sat there, expressionless.

After the medicine was administered, Xiaoli finally asked, "Doctor Li, is the poison in the princess's body truly harmless"

"It's a bit of a hassle, and it will take some time."

Xiao Li heard this, her eyes reddened, and tears welled up again.

"Do you know what kind of tonic she's been drinking lately"

Li Wuyan suddenly asked, Xiao Li was taken aback and hurriedly recalled, saying, "It was Shu Taifei who stewed the tonic for the princess and the prince. She had it for over a month, saying that it was to make the prince and princess give birth to a fat grandson. Every day she watched over the princess, making her finish it."

"More than a month"

Xiaoli nodded vigorously. Hearing Yue Yu, Xiaoli's eyes widened in disbelief. The doctor said that the princess had been poisoned for a month, and the tonic given by Shutaifei was also for a month. Could it be that Shutaifei was the one who poisoned her

Xiao Li covered her mouth, afraid to make a sound. Her mind went blank, completely unable to believe her guess.

"Do you know, had Xi'er not miscarried this time, but had waited until after three months for the child to be discovered in her womb, what would have been the consequences"

Little Li was dumbfounded, "The doctor said the princess's fetus had already died in her womb."

"A miscarriage that is left untreated and continues in the body for three months will result in toxins spreading throughout the five internal organs and six fu organs, causing a deadly poison to take hold. At this point, it will be impossible to reverse the damage."

“This…this is impossible. How could the Imperial Noble Consort act this way toward the Crown Princess The Crown Princess has been so kind to her, why would she do this”t need that kind of man. Most importantly, her feelings for him can't be upgraded to love; she can only see him as a brother.“You say I'm perfect, but I don't think so. I have flaws too, I...”"I can't...
