Chapter 1615: A Lifetime Together Part 23

medicine are also skilled in poisons. I believe the Fourth Royal Consort could have poisoned us without our knowledge. We should not make an enemy of her.”"Had this king known her poison arts were thi...When Feng Lingxi arrived at Zhen Guo General's Mansion, Feng Aotian had already woken up. Seeing Feng Lingxi, he waved at her.

Feng Lingxi crouched down, looking at Feng Aotian's head that was bandaged. She turned to the doctor beside her, "Doctor, how is he"

The doctor, upon seeing Feng Lingxi, truthfully replied, “Your Highness Princess of the Returning Dynasty, General Zhen Guo sustained a severe head injury. The back of his head was cracked and bleeding. This old man has already bandaged him, but I don’t know how to proceed with this serious injury.”

Thank you, doctor.

Seeing that Feng Aotiān was still conscious, Feng Língxī felt a little relieved.

Zhao's sudden death, Feng Yu's disappearance in the storm, and the fact that Feng Aotien was severely injured by an ambush... all of these incidents seem to be carefully planned. To find out what really happened, I'm afraid we'll have to get the answer from Feng Aotien's mouth.

It's just that Feng Aotian is injured like this now, it's going to be hard to explain clearly.

"Xi'er, don't worry, General Feng is strong and will be fine."

Lu Nian comforted, “We should go and see the cause of Zhao's death, to see if we can find some clues.”

"Let me check his head wound first, then I'll go see the cause of Zhao's death. Also, we need to see if any court officials have arrived with an autopsy expert. This is a serious matter, so be careful."

If this Zhao family's involvement is truly the work of the Yao Clan, then it's understandable. However, if it isn't, the court will definitely need to investigate the cause of Lady Zhen Guo's death thoroughly.

Feng Aotian held Feng Lingxi's hand, opened his mouth, his lips moved, but he didn't say a word.

"Do you know what's going on"

Feng Aotian looked at her, still unable to speak. This life he had picked up was frail and weak.

Just nod or shake your head.

Lu Nian spoke from the side. Feng Aotian looked at Feng Lingxi and slowly moved his head, but with just that movement, Feng Aotian was in excruciating pain. Feng Lingxi's gaze fell on his injured head, and she quickly said, "Big brother, help me lift him up, I want to see if I can bandage his head."

"Do you have any questions"

Lu Nian quickly stepped forward, helping Feng Lingxi lift Feng Aotian up and sit him down. Feng Aotian didn't say a word, but he gasped several times. Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotian's pale face and comforted him in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm just taking a look."

Feng Aotian remained motionless, his fists clenched tightly. Feng Lingxi untied the gauze and looked at the bloodstains on it. Her face was already grim. When she peeled back the gauze to reveal the scraped scalp wound, her expression grew even worse.

"Big brother, let someone bring in some warm water. How can you bandage a wound without cleaning it properly This will easily lead to inflammation." Feng Lingxi reached out and gently stroked the injured area. As her fingertips touched it, she felt something hard, causing Feng Aotian to cry out in pain. Feng Lingxi's face changed drastically. She hurriedly pushed aside his hair and looked at the wound, focusing on the hard object she had just touched with her finger. Her expression immediately darkened.

"These physicians examined him like this, such a large lump of hard matter, cracked skin and it's still embedded here without taking it out. What use is it to bandage it like this" Feng Lingxi hurriedly took her tools from her waist, "Big brother, help me hold him, I have to remove this."

"Will there be any impact"

This is the head, if anything goes wrong with this, they won't be able to explain it.

"It's alright, I've seen it. It can be taken out, it's just under the skin."

Feng Lingxi checked the position, looking at Feng Aotian, "When I take it out later, it will hurt a little, you bear with it."

Feng Aotian remained silent, his clenched fists revealing his intentions.

When people came in with water, Feng Lingxi wiped the wound and used a tool to clamp down on the hard object, pulling it out and placing it on white gauze. Then she began cleaning Feng Aotians wound. Her hands were covered in blood, but Feng Aotians pain was not as intense as before.

"Xier, this is a piece of iron."

Lu Nian carefully examined the hard object he had taken out. "Looking at the broken surface, there was no rust, it seemed to have been deliberately broken."

Feng Lingxi washed her hands clean and picked up the iron shard, examining it. She said in a calm voice, "It's definitely broken. Such an iron shard couldn't possibly be from a dagger, but it's possible it came from a sword. Some swords are very thin, this piece isn't very big, it's triangular in shape, and the sharp point was inserted into the back of the head. Fortunately, the position wasn't too deep, so there weren't any serious consequences. It seems someone intentionally broke it."

"Broken on purpose Could it be the doctor"

Lu Nian asked, "How could this doctor, after checking and bandaging him, not even notice this It's such a large piece of iron. Since the doctor was bandaging him, why didn't he discover it"

"Generally, doctors would treat a wound by cleaning it and then applying medication and bandages. This doctor didn't do any of that. He didn't even apply medication or clean the wound properly. There is definitely a problem here."

"Then what are we waiting for, go get the doctor back," Lu Nian said as she was about to go out, but Feng Lingxi stopped her.

"Since this doctor has problems, do you think you'll be able to find him again after he leaves"

Feng Lingxi gave Feng Aotian some medicine, bandaged him up, and Feng Aotian lay down, feeling much better.

"Let him rest well, and we'll ask him when he's better. We should go see Zhao's body now."

Lu Nian nodded, "I'll do as you say."

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotian, "You rest here well, I'll go take a look at Zhao's body and be back."

Feng Aotian grasped Feng Lingxi's hand, his lips moved again, his eyes blinked, unwilling.

"Don't you want me to go see Zhao's body"

Feng Aotian blinked, Feng Lingxi glanced around, "Are you still trying to say that this place is unsafe"

Feng Aotian blinked again, Feng Lingxi's expression tightened suddenly, she looked around, but didn't see anyone suspicious.

"Xi'er, why don't you stay here with him, and I'll go take a look for you."

"Big brother, let's not go look at Zhao's corpse. It seems someone doesn't want us to see it." Feng Lingxi pondered for a moment, "Since that's the case, we won't go. Zhao was the wife of the Duke of Zhen Guo and also a member of the Yao clan. If the Yao clan wants to investigate her death, we will have answers for them."

Since this place was so unsafe, she couldn't leave Feng Aotian at this time. Otherwise, his life would be in danger.

Dugu Cheng had just become the regent, when Feng Aotien met with an accident. The Emperor's body hadn't fully recovered yet. This incident couldn't possibly be their doing, but Feng Aotien wasn't going to court now. He shouldn't have offended any officials either. The only possible explanation was the Yao tribe.

Lu Nian nodded. "Then I'll go to the door and watch for you. Call me if you need anything."

Feng Lingxi nodded, looking at Feng Aotien who was staring at her. She said softly, "If you have something to say to me, just say it. My older brother is not an outsider."

Feng Aotian opened his mouth, moving slightly. His voice was barely audible. Feng Lingxi leaned down, and Feng Aotian said in an extremely faint voice, “Yao Clan, they stole things.”

Feng Lingxi looked at Feng Aotiantian's gaze, her face was very unsightly.e dress, with minimal makeup, walking towards her."Leaving the palace so early, it seems the Empress Dowager is truly fond of you.""Your Majesty, I will not argue with you today. I am here to mourn fo...
