Chapter 1327: The Smoke of War Begins
y When did he get worn outThis woman, she really just throws people under the bus when she's done with them."Lord Wang, your medicinal meal is here." Xiaoli walked forward with the medicinal meal. Dug...In the end, she was the one who led herself into ruin.
Feng Aotian knew this time he had dragged Feng Lingxi into it, and there was nothing good to say.
"First, go and purchase some herbs for me. Find as many as you can, we need to have the herbs on hand, otherwise we won't be able to help when we get there."
Feng Lingxi opened her mouth, "I'll also send people to buy medicine and contact Dugu City as soon as possible. We'll act separately."
“Okay, I’ll do as you say. Just tell me what you want me to do, and I’ll figure out a way.” Feng Aotian’s attitude made it hard for Feng Lingxi to get mad at him. Ever since they had stayed together in Tumuzhen last time, Feng Aotian had become increasingly good to her, treating her just like his own daughter.
This is something that didn't exist before, now it seems like it's making up for it.
"That's all for now."
Feng Lingxi wrote down the required herbs and gave them to Feng Aotien. After receiving the order, Feng Aotien left.
"Xiao Li, you go purchase them too. Have Li Su and the others help. Try to gather all the medicinal herbs around as quickly as possible. Purchase them swiftly. Also, this matter should not be publicized. Remember to keep it confidential."
"I understand, Your Highness. But are you truly going to Tumu Town Even the General said this situation is very dangerous. What if this plague spreads uncontrollably and becomes incurable Wouldn't that be putting yourself in danger"
Feng Lingxi knew Xiaoli was worried about her.
“Do you think I want to go You just heard Feng Aotiantian's words. The memorials sent to the court have disappeared, for half a month now. The only possibility is that they were intercepted. Now there are already thousands of people infected with the plague. If the plague continues, when the court learns the news, Tu Mu Town seeks help from Feng Aotiantian, and Feng Aotiantian is here with me... what do you think will happen when it reaches the court”
She didn't want to get involved either, but if she didn't go, those who were staring at them would probably really make Dugu City unable to turn over.
Their situation here is already difficult enough, constantly being oppressed and struggling to breathe, yet they still refuse to give up.
She couldn't just let them continue, she believed her medical skills could cure this plague.
"I'm just worried about the safety of the Princess."
Feng Lingxi patted her shoulder, “Don’t be nervous, I have a way. If you’re scared, you don’t have to come with me.”
Xiao Li hurriedly shook her head, anxiously explaining, "Your Highness, I'm not afraid, just worried that you will suffer."
Feng Lingxi smiled, "Xiao Li, don't forget, I am skilled in medicine. There are many types of plagues, and we can find a way to fight it. Besides, if I don't go, and no one else is willing to help Tumu Town, everyone there will be finished."
"Has the princess ever considered how many people die in war every year Even if Hua Tuo were alive, how many people could he possibly cure"
Xiao Li was very depressed. Every time she met Feng Aotian, nothing good happened. He wasn't good to the princess, and he didn't benefit her either. Now he clings to the princess and constantly drags her into trouble, he's simply harmful.
"What if the other party is only dealing with Feng Aotiān, and not the princess at all Shouldn't we care about his life or death Princess, think about how Feng Aotiān treated you and your ladies-in-waiting before. Is it worth helping him"
Xiao Li burst into tears of frustration. She truly didn't want the Princess to take such a risk. Just hearing about the plague made her shiver with fear, yet the Princess was determined to venture into Tumu Town. Didn't she fear contracting the disease and dying
Feng Lingxi watched Xiao Li cry, reaching out to wipe the tears from her eyes.
"Xiaoli, don't cry."
Feng Lingxi swallowed nervously, looking at Xiao Li's tearful eyes. She knew that Xiao Li hoped she would stay away from Feng Aotian because of his past mistreatment of her. She had wanted to do the same thing, but as long as Duguo City and the Prince were still in power, as long as the court wouldn't let them go, she couldn't ask Feng Aotian for help.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
"My Lord."
Xiao Li raised her eyes to wipe away her tears and saw Du Gu Cheng walking in. She hurriedly called out, "Du Gu Cheng, come in!" Looking at Feng Ling Xi and Xiao Li, his brows furrowed, "Why are you crying What happened"
"My lord, please persuade the princess not to go to Tumuw Town. It's too dangerous."
Xiaoli cried out, and everyone started crying. Dugu City looked at Feng Lingxi, "Do you all know what happened in Tumu Town"
Feng Lingxi nodded. Xiao Li cried out, "It's all because the General of Zhen Guo came to find the princess every time he didn't have good intentions."
"Xiao Li..."
Feng Lingxi helplessly watched Xia Li, who was angrily accusing Feng Aotian. She had thought that Dugu City would stand on Xia Li's side, but unexpectedly, Dugu City said, "Xia Li, this matter is really not the fault of General Zhen Guo. This king just received news that the memorial was intercepted, and someone deliberately wanted to blame the plague in Tumu Town and prevent the court from knowing."
"So my guess is right, the person who intercepted this letter was trying to get Wind Aotian to handle the matter in Tu Mu Town, and last time Wind Aotian asked for our help, we were dragged into it."
Dugu City nodded, his eyes also helpless.
"It is still unknown who is responsible. People have been sent to Tumuzhen to investigate and confirm the truth of the matter."
"Do you suspect someone is falsely reporting the plague"
Dugu Cheng nodded, his expression solemn, "Last time we went there, you told the doctors there the prescription. If such a situation occurred, those doctors would be unable to treat it without the prescription. The possibility of lying is very high."
"If the outbreak were a plague that doctors couldn't control, it wouldn't be easy to say. The last prescription wasn't universal after all," Feng Lingxi explained. "We still need to figure out the truth about this plague, the real situation, so we can prepare the medicine here."
Dugu Cheng nodded, he had already sent people to investigate, and there would be news soon.
"Xi'er, you should rest well these two days. I will notify you if there is any news. As for the medicinal herbs, let them purchase them. If it truly is an epidemic, we will go together. You must keep your spirits up and avoid any harm."
"Dugu City, when the time comes, only I and Feng Aotian can go, you can't go with us, it's too dangerous…"
"This king has seen it all, how could I possibly let you go alone Besides, if I didn't go, would you even be able to"
Dugu Cheng gently tapped her nose, "Be good and listen. Wait for this king to investigate before making a decision."
But...
"No buts, Xi'er must listen."
Feng Lingxi compromised, now rushing to a more dangerous place immediately. This Tu Mu town is not far from here, the main thing is to figure out this ailment, to understand the truth. Dugu City's caution was right, she couldn't act rashly.
"Okay, so just let me know if you hear anything."
Dugu City nodded, "Take the princess to rest."
"My Lord, should we inform the Chieftain of the Luo tribe about this He would likely be interested."
“What's the use of talking to him He probably wouldn't want to see me now. This time, it's clearly aimed at me. Just when the Lu family matter was settled, he's going to stir up trouble between me and General Zhen Guo again. He won't give up until he kills me.”espect towards the queen is unacceptable to this king. I will not tolerate it. Come here, slap her!"Feng Ling looked at Dugu City in surprise. She suddenly opened her mouth and punished him, which mad...
