Chapter 493: Revenge 137
t the main residence, Feng Lingxi saw a palanquin at the gate. She walked over, and the woman inside came out. It was Shu Taifei, with two stunning women by her side, dressed in luxurious clothes that...When I first got up, I didn't feel cold, so I just forgot about it.
Feng Lingxi smoothed her cloak and looked at Dugu Cheng sitting down beside her. He held her hand, rubbing it gently. His face was full of concern, yet he couldn't bring himself to blame her. That look warmed her heart, and she didn't feel so cold anymore.
"How come a pharmacy is here, don't you think the smell of medicine is too strong"
He hadn't lived there for a while, and was afraid the place would smell musty. So he had the servants clean it up so Xi'er could make medicine inside. It was winter now, cold and freezing. What if it snowed If she caught a cold and got sick, what would they do
"Thinking about the good air this morning, I'd like to sit here for a while. Don't be nervous, I'll go back to the pharmacy in a bit. I've already had Xiaoli clean up."
Feng Lingxi retracted her hand and glanced at the gloomy weather, "Is there any news from the palace How is Dugu Yan doing"
She had prepared the medicine, but she dared not send it into the palace. She was afraid that if something happened before the medicine could be used, Empress Cen would accuse her of poisoning the emperor again. She would be even more innocent than Dou E.
"The Emperor's condition is still stable and he has woken up, but he hasn't been detoxified yet. The imperial physicians from the Tai Hospital are all in the palace, so whether or not they can save him depends on them. We shouldn't worry too much about it. The Empress Dowager and Dugu Xiu stayed at Shou'an Palace for over an hour, and then Dugu Xiu went to see Dugu Yan. Let's just wait and see what happens."
"What about Feng Yuxi What is she doing"
Feng Lingxi was more worried about Yu Xi facing wind and rain. Now that she was the empress, she shouldn't wish for Dugu Yan to die.
"He stayed by Dugu Yan's side the whole time, without making any move."
Feng Lingxi's brows furrowed slightly. Could it be that this wind and rain wouldn't really want Dugu Yan to die
That's not right either. If he truly didn't want Dugu Yan to die, he shouldn't have come to her to save Dugu Yan in the palace She knew her medical skills were good, there was no reason for him not to come.
"Embassadors from all the Western Regions are almost at the capital. Once word of the Emperor's illness gets out, it will surely cause a huge uproar. The palace is in chaos now. This lord thinks that even Feng Yu Xi would not dare to act rashly at this time."
"Let's just see what happens. If they don't come looking for us, let them mess around on their own. I'll take some time to rest and recuperate properly, and we can talk about it once Mother's health improves."
Upon mentioning Empress Dowager, Dugu Cheng hurriedly said, “Xier, this king just came from the Empress Dowager’s side. She has woken up and wants to see you.”
"Then why didn't you say so earlier"
Feng Lingxi hurriedly got up, her tone blaming him for making her sit there for so long.
"Dugu Cheng hurriedly got up and followed, "Just now seeing you sitting there frozen like that, this King forgot..."
Feng Lingxi gave him a withering look and hurried toward Shu Taifei's courtyard. What if her mother-in-law thought she, the daughter-in-law, was putting on airs How could she explain that
獨孤城完全不知道風淩兮的想法，他擔心兮兒的身體，太後醒了，身體看起來也好多了，也冇有說著急著要見兮兒，他也不覺得自己這樣做有什麼不妥之處。
Feng Lingxi rushed to Shutai's room, took a deep breath, and Du Gu Cheng frowned at her actions. "Xier, what's wrong"
"If my mother blames me later, you'll have to answer to her."
Feng Lingxi glared at Dugu Cheng angrily, then strode into Shutai's room. Seeing her mother sitting beside Shutai's bed, Feng Lingxi was taken aback and quickly stepped forward to greet them.
"Mother, how did you get here" Let me know if you'd like anything else translated!
Yao Wanying saw Feng Lingxi arriving and beckoned her over. Feng Lingxi dared not be slow, as Empress Dowager Shu was her own mother-in-law, treating her like her own biological daughter. Besides, with her mother present, Feng Lingxi had lost her usual composure and gained a touch of nervousness.
"Mother, how are you feeling Is there anything uncomfortable about your body"
Feng Lingxi's concerned tone made Shutai tremble her head. Looking at Feng Lingxi's nervousness, her gaze fell on Duguo City.
"Er'er, you go attend to your business first. Mother concubine and Xi'er have something to talk about."
Dugu Cheng looked at the three of them. His mother concubine was the only one who drove him out. Could it be that she wasn't really blaming Xi'er
"Mother, in fact, Xier she…"
Feng Lingxi hastily interrupted Du Gucheng's words, "You better get to work. I'm here with my mother, so you don't have to worry."
When Dugu City was told this by Feng Lingxi, he didn't dare to refuse. He could only retreat.
Feng Lingxi stayed in the room, watching her mother and aunt. She couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Xier, Mother just had a chat with the Imperial Dowager about some past events. As we talked, she brought up you and Fourth Prince."
"What's up between me and him"
Feng Lingxi was startled by her mother's words. Wasn't her relationship with Dugu City quite stable
Yao Wan Ying took her hand and glanced at Shu Taifei.
"You've been married to the Fourth Prince for quite a while now, yet your belly hasn't shown any signs. Have you checked your own body What's the reason for this It's been almost a year, and there's still no news."
When Feng Ling Xi was asked this by her mother, she broke out in a cold sweat all over.
This is going well, why did you suddenly ask about children Didn't she tell you before that the current situation isn't suitable to have children Besides, how old is she Isn't it a bit too early for this topic of having children
"Xier, don't blame your mother. It was the Empress Dowager who asked me. This time, I almost lost my life, so I realized that if you haven't seen you and Cheng'er have a child before I die, how could I face your father when I meet him in the afterlife"
Shu Taifei sighed, losing the calmness she once had, which made Feng Lingxi's heart ache.
She had never really considered having children. Given the current situation, she truly dared not conceive. If she were to have a child, with the turmoil in the court and the potential for disaster, it would be difficult for her to do anything if something went wrong while she was carrying a child.
"Mother, Imperial Concubine, Xi'er has no ailments. I just feel that the current situation is not suitable for having a child. I hope you can understand."
Why can't I have children
Shutai looked at Feng Lingxi, “The situation in the court is like this, it can't be solved in a short time. That Empress Cen before pressured you to go to Yaozu to retrieve the treasure trove, wasn't it just because she thought your body was nimble If you were pregnant, wouldn't this treasure hunt be delayed, and also give yourself some time”
Feng Lingxi, upon hearing what Shu Taifei said, wasn't unreasonable. However, she just didn't like the feeling of being restrained.
Having a baby is certainly important, but she felt it wasn't the right time. Having a child now would be really difficult for her.
"Xier, what Shutai Fei said is right. If you have a child, you will definitely be able to put this matter of seeking the treasure down. No matter what, let's wait a year and a half before talking about it."
Yao Wan'ying agreed with Shu Taifei's statement. The current court situation was unpredictable, and no one knew when the throne might change hands. Now that Cen Taizi wasn't so focused on the Yao clan, it would be better to seize this opportunity to get pregnant and give them some time.
