in the Yao clan, Yao Wan-ying rushed back to settle the rebellious elders: the Second Elder Yao Yi and the Third Elder Yao Zhi. They had plotted this coup during her absence, but her status as the Sai...Half an hour later, Dugu City woke up. Opening his eyes, he saw Ye Xi guarding beside him. His gaze unconsciously searched around for a while, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see, and his eyes dimmed.

"My lord, you're awake. Do you feel any pain anywhere"

Ye Xi watched the Wangye struggling to get up, hurriedly helping him sit up.

"Ye Xi, how long have I been unconscious"

"My Lord, it has been over an hour."

Dugu Cheng sat cross-legged, hearing the sounds of Feng Aotian and others coming. Seeing Dugu Cheng wake up, Wan'er brought Feng Siqi and Feng Siyu forward, their eyes fixed on him, wanting to speak but holding back.

"Your Highness, Prince Chen, are you feeling better now The children are all very worried."

As soon as Feng Aotian finished speaking, Wan'er quickly retorted, “I’m not worried about him at all.”

"Little Sister Wan'er, don't worry, I'm the one who worries about you."

Wind Siqi hurried to Du Gucheng's side and squatted down, looking at his pale face. She reached out her small hand to touch his forehead with concern, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere Tell me."

"This king is fine, thank you for your concern, Siqi."

獨孤城強擠出一抹笑容，越發的蒼白，忍不住的咳嗽幾聲，婉兒神色一緊，欲言又止，袖下的拳頭攥緊，眉心揪緊，眼中的擔心流露。

“Did you know It was my mother who saved you.” Feng Siqi smiled sweetly, looking at the confusion in Dugu Cheng's eyes. Ye Xi on the side hurriedly chimed in, "Your Highness, Miss Siqi is right, it was indeed the Princess Consort who saved you. She used needles to save you."

Dugu City subconsciously glanced at his own hands, unable to believe it. Xi'er was actually willing to save him. Didn't she not care about his life or death

The queen also said that when she returned, she would go and gather medicine for you. It would cure you.

Ye Xi's words were like a dream, making Dugu City feel incredibly unreal.

"Really, Xi'er did acupuncture on this king"

Dugu Cheng looked at Feng Aotian, seeking confirmation from him. Seeing him nod, there was unsuppressable joy in his eyes. Xi'er still cared for him.

Then where is she

Dugu Cheng hurriedly asked, struggling to get up, but was held down by Ye Xi.

"The princess is out, my lord. You should rest well. The princess doesn't want you to wander about."

When Dugu Cheng heard this, he immediately fell silent. Ye Xi knew that the princess's every word was being heard by the king right now. He didn't want to tell the king that the princess was currently with Tao Su, and they had been chatting together for over half an hour.

He was afraid that if the king found out, he would faint from anger again.

"Ye Xi, this king will attend to you."

Du Gu Cheng hurriedly circulated his internal energy. Ye Xi watched the king's eagerness, and hurriedly told Feng Ao Tian, "General Zhen Guo, please trouble you and the princess to tell them that the king has woken up and is adjusting his condition."

Feng Aotian nodded, "Then the three of you stay here, grandpa will go and tell your mother."

Feng Siyu crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, watching Dugu Cheng heal his wounds. This used to be something her grandfather would do. Her grandfather said only martial arts masters with deep internal energy could use it to heal themselves. She never thought he'd also have this ability.

Feng Aotian walked to the door, watching Feng Lingxi standing there watching the rain. Tao Su was closing her eyes, walking towards Feng Lingxi.

"Xier, Wang Chen is awake."

Feng Lingxi frowned and nodded slightly.

"Let's see, time to wake up. Is he alright"

"It's alright, I'm recuperating with internal energy. Ye Xi asked me to tell you this so you don't worry."

Feng Aotiān spoke, and Feng Língxī's brows furrowed slightly. She didn't bother explaining too much; she said she was worried if that's what she wanted to believe. Anyway, she wasn't bothered enough to explain.

"Let him heal then."

Wind Ling Xi glanced at the rain outside that was gradually slowing down, "I'm going out to collect medicine later, would you like to come with me"

Feng Aotian was stunned, looking at Feng Lingxi, then at Tao Su beside her. He pointed at himself and asked, "Xi'er, are you talking to me"

Of course.

"This..."

Feng Aotian was just about to agree when Tao Su opened her eyes, "Xiao Feng, I'll go with you later."

"Alright, then you watch over the three children here and don't let them run around. I'll be right back."

Feng Aotian responded, glanced at Tao Su, the joy in his heart hadn't had time to bloom before being extinguished by him.

However, getting Tao Su and Xi'er closer might just stimulate Prince Chen, allowing him to recover faster, clear up the misunderstanding, and reunite with Xi'er.

The rain stopped, Feng Lingxi and Tao Su went out. Feng Aotian sent people to follow them to protect their safety. They patrolled and started preparing for dinner. This was a ruined temple, so they could only eat the rations they brought. They would also try to find some wild chickens, rabbits, or fish nearby to make do with for the night. However, the soldiers only ate dry rations, so they had it slightly better.

Feng Lingxi and Tao Su went back and forth to gather medicine for less than half an hour, and when they returned, they brought back a wild boar. They had stumbled upon it while gathering medicine, and Tao Su had hunted it down and brought it back to supplement their meal.

Feng Lingxi held the medicine to Dugu City's side, watching as his complexion improved. She offered him the medicine in her hand.

"Drink this, it's good for your recovery."

Feng Lingxi's voice was calm, and Du Gucheng took it, looking at Feng Lingxi, feeling a little excited. This really wasn't a dream. Xi’er not only gave him acupuncture but also went to pick medicine and decoct medicine for him personally.

Although the taste of this medicine is very bitter, and the grassy flavor is extremely strong, Du Gu Cheng doesn't mind at all. As long as it's given to him by Xi'er, he thinks it's the best.

"Your Majesty, I hear you were the one who administered the acupuncture to me. Thank you."

Feng Lingxi glanced at him, holding the medicine in her hand, stared at her like that, furrowed her brow and asked, "Isn't this medicine hot"

Only then did Dugu Cheng realize the medicine bowl in his hand was hot, but he endured it, slowly placing it before him. His fingers, however, turned red from the heat.

"I am so overjoyed that I didn't even realize it."

Dugu Cheng was awkwardly speechless, watching Feng Lingxi get up, he hurriedly stopped her.

"Xier."

Feng Lingxi looked at him, her eyes were emotionless.

"Dugu Cheng, listen carefully. I saved you because you are Wan'er's father, my patient, and... I think you shouldn't die so easily. Five years ago, I haven't investigated the matter clearly, so you have to live and wait for me to find out. Your life and death have nothing to do with me."

Five years ago, in fact, this King can explain it.

Du Gu Cheng's expression stiffened, his pale face made Feng Ling Xi feel distressed. She shouldn't have said so much, this sentence seemed to have hurt him again.

Now, this Dugu City is really in a terrible state. If you don't meet him properly, he can't be met. With the slightest carelessness, he will cough up blood and faint again.

"Then get well soon, and I'll ask him about it later."

Dugu Cheng was very excited and hurriedly asked, "Xier, are you willing to listen to this king explain"

“When you're better, I naturally want to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise, wouldn't I be at a disadvantage”

Dugu City hastily held the medicine, blew on it, and drank it in one gulp.ard walked in to report, Feng Lingxi was astonished and hurriedly asked the steward, "How could King Su get in"The steward glanced at Li Wuyan and Luoli. "I don't know, master. Those Imperial Guards d...
