mpressive."Why not write"Amongst the civil and military officials, some began to whisper. In a short while, there were many discussing amongst themselves.Feng Lingxi put down her brush and bowed to t..."Was the Empress Dowager suspicious of King Su"

She had only discreetly checked the past records of King Su, and yet she caused him such a huge problem. Just how much does Empress Cen fear this King Su

It was precisely because of this that Feng Lingxi’s suspicion of King Su deepened. If the mastermind behind this storm on a rainy evening was truly King Su, who had been silent for many years, then Du Gucheng should indeed be wary of him.

"I just want to see his situation. For so many years, the King of Su has not stepped out of the Prince's Mansion. Is he truly decadent, or is he secretly recruiting soldiers and horses planning a comeback I need to know."

Feng Lingxi watched a flash of killing intent in Empress Cen's eyes, then frowned. "Empress, forgive my impertinence, but why didn't you send someone to investigate this directly Why me, a woman"

"Because you're skilled in medicine and a woman of Dugu City, you are the most suitable candidate."

Feng Lingxi wasn't involved, it seemed. Perhaps what Dugu Cheng had said before about taking her to see King Su was related to the Empress Dowager as well. He never mentioned it again after.

She hadn't expected that after he had set off, this would still happen. Empress Dowager Cen had ordered her to go and check on King Su. It was well-known throughout the Great Yuan Dynasty that the Empress Dowager treated her very well. She was the Empress Dowager's person. If she went, King Su might misunderstand her as someone sent by the Empress Dowager and harm her, thus blaming it all on the Empress Dowager. And if something happened to her, Dugu City would definitely clash with King Su. If King Su remained unchanged from his usual self, the Empress Dowager would be at ease, considering this a simple errand for her. Regardless of the outcome, the Empress Dowager was always the one who benefited most.

"Empress Dowager, if Prince Su is like he used to be, poisoned fatally, what should we do If he is different, then what"

"You need only investigate and report back to me. Afterward, there is no need for you to take action."

Queen Cen looked at Feng Lingxi, “Your Majesty only needs you to find out the truth.”

"I understand."

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, watching the coldness in Empress Cen's eyes. She was even more curious about this King Su. What kind of person could cause such concern from Empress Cen

Back at the Fourth Prince's Manor, seeing her mother waiting for her return, Feng Lingxi's fatigue vanished instantly. She hurriedly stepped forward and greeted, "Mother."

>

Feng Lingxi smiled and shook her head, "Mother Empress, the Empress Dowager treats me quite well. After all, we have a cooperative relationship. Lady Lan just asked a few questions, nothing else."

When Shutai heard Feng Lingxi say this, the worry in her eyes deepened. "Lanfei is now carrying a dragon seed, and King Pingbei's influence covers the entire court. All civil and military officials are turning against us. Xi'er must be even more careful when entering the palace later."

Feng Ling Xi looked at her mother's worried eyes and pulled her down to sit.

"Mother, Xier understands. No matter who it is, Xier will not offend them. The Empress Dowager is kind to me now and won't harm me for the time being."

Shutai sighed, "If Cheng'er knew your current position, he would probably regret taking you away."

When it comes to Dugu City, Feng Lingxi's eyes soften, “Mother concubine, it's not that exaggerated. The Empress said I wouldn't need to enter the palace often in the future. She will take care of everything in the harem. We can just wait for him here peacefully.”

"That's good."

Feng Lingxi thought for a moment, then still told Shu Taifei, "Mother concubine, I'm going to visit the Su Mansion tomorrow, could Mother concubine accompany me"

Shutai looked at Feng Lingxi, her eyes filled with confusion. "Why did you suddenly want to see King Su Is it the Empress Dowager's intention"

Feng Lingxi nodded, informing her mother-in-law of the Empress Dowager's meaning. Seeing the worry on her mother-in-law's face, Feng Lingxi took her mother-in-law's hand and said softly, "Mother-in-law, we have no choice now. Besides, I also want to know about King Su."

Shu Taifei sighed, "Fine, this concubine will accompany you on a trip."

"Thank you, Mother."

Feng Lingxi rushed towards Shutai Fei with a smile, making people envious. Being able to get along with one's mother-in-law like this is probably something very few people in the world can achieve

Feng Lingxi is lucky. The Empress Dowager Shu is truly a rare and wonderful mother-in-law, genuinely caring for her and treating her as family.

The next day, Feng Lingxi went to Su Wangfu with Shu Taifei, bringing gifts with them. Su Wangfu was located in a rather secluded part of the city, and its gate plaque had faded from age.

The fallen leaves in front of the Su Wangfu's gate had been left undisturbed for a long time. After knocking on the door, an elderly butler opened it. Upon seeing Shu Taifei, he hurriedly knelt down, "Servant greets Shu Taifei."

Shutai quickly helped him up, "Li Guanjia, please stand and speak."

Li Guanta trembles and gets up, looking at Feng Lingxi beside Shu Taifei, "And who is this"

"This is the Fourth Princess."

Butler Li hurriedly bowed, "Greetings to the Fourth Princess Consort."

"Li Guanjia spoke up, "My Lady and I are here today to visit Prince Su."

When Feng Lingxi mentioned King Su, Li Guanjia's expression changed slightly, a flash of panic in his eyes disappearing as quickly as it came, but Feng Lingxi had not missed it. Although Li Guanjia appeared to be unwell, his balance when he knelt down was excellent; he was clearly someone skilled in martial arts.

"Li Guanjia, how is King Su doing lately"

The Shutai Consort asked, her eyes gazing around the manor. The steward Li immediately bowed and gestured for her to follow him. "Shutai Consort, the Fourth Princess has requested your presence, please come with me."

Feng Lingxi saw Li, the steward, trembling and staggering. She quickly stepped forward to support his arm. Li, startled, knelt down in fear.

"Butler Li, don't misunderstand me, I just wanted to help you..."

"Your Highness, I am but a lowly servant. It is improper for me to address you in such a manner."

Feng Ling xi awkwardly retracted her hand, apologizing, "Li Butler, I'm just used to it, I'm sorry."

Li Guanjia bent over, hunched over as he led them through the corridors of Su Wang's mansion. Looking at this dilapidated courtyard of Su Wang's mansion, the fallen leaves on the ground, the severely peeling paint on the corridor, the withered flowers and plants, and the rampant weeds, if not seen with one's own eyes, one would never believe that this was the residence of Su Wang.

"Li Guanjia, has the Imperial Court never managed the Su Wangfu" Looking at this overgrown Su Wangfu, Feng Lingxi really doubted the real existence of this palace.

"The Fourth Princess, just look at my Lord. You'll know."

Li, the housekeeper, heaved a heavy sigh and brought Feng Lingxi to Su Wang's courtyard. Looking at the vegetables, fruits, and trees planted all around, Feng Lingxi was full of astonishment.

"Most of the things in the manor have already been sold. These vegetables were grown by the old servant. The young master's health is deteriorating, so please make sure he gets three meals a day as best you can."

Li Guanjia's words made people unable to help but shed tears. Feng Lingxi really didn't want to believe that the once prosperous King Su would end up like this.

Not until Feng Lingxi saw the figure of Dugu Su, a man sitting in a wheelchair, did she realize. He wore rough hemp clothing, his face was pale and bloodless, his figure thin, and his hands gripping the wheelchair were so bony as to be almost skeletal.hining with delight. She never expected that even in the midst of withered branches, there could be such a good thing."Your Highness, what are you going to do with so many Jiangzi"Looking at the puzzl...
