Chapter 286: Seize Power 41

shouldn't have researched explosives in the first place, now she's being watched and can't defend herself."Your Majesty, it's cold outside, please put this on."Xiao Li draped the fox fur cloak over t...Wind Lady spoke, and Yao Qing wanted to stop her. However, facing Wind Lady's cold gaze, he could only allow A Si to take Dugu City away.

Dugu Cheng and Ye Xi were brought to Feng Fu's hall to rest. A Si looked at the two of them and said, "Mister Chen, Madam ordered the two of you to rest here for a while."

"Please."

Dugu Cheng watched the bustling noise outside, wondering if Madam Feng could handle it.

"Rest assured, both of you. The Lord can handle this. You only need to wait here peacefully."

Seeing the worry in Dugu City's eyes, A Si spoke to comfort him.

Dugu Cheng nodded, but his gaze drifted outwards. He wasn't sure if the Saintess was Xi'er or someone else. He wanted it to be Xi'er, yet he didn't want it to be her. He longed to see her, but he was also afraid that Xi'er would fall into Elder Yao's hands and be in danger.

Feng Lingxi sneezed, rubbed her nose, and looked at the drizzle outside. Her body softened and she slumped onto the table, listless.

"Miss, what's wrong with you"

Xiao Li looked at her like this, a little worried.

Feng Lingxi looked at the rain outside and said listlessly, "Xiao Li, I truly don't like rain. When I see rain, I feel panicked. His Highness doesn't have time to accompany me, and I just sit here, not knowing what to do."

"Miss doesn't like herbs Then let the slave teach Miss how to distinguish herbs, alright"

Perhaps it could stimulate the princess and make her recall past events. This wouldn't be a bad solution either.

Feng Lingxi came to her senses, looked at Xiaoli, and hurriedly got up. “Then let’s go quickly. Anyway, the Crown Prince is not at home, we can go learn about medicinal herbs.”

These days, Huangpu Qingyun goes out every day and comes back very late. He leaves her at the mansion and doesn't take her with him. Feng Lingxi feels bored, but she doesn't know what to do, making her feel stifled.

Xiaoli brought the princess to the herb warehouse she had bought before. Looking at the full house of herbs, Feng Lingxi was very excited. Xiaoli picked up a kind of medicinal material and said, “Miss, this is Sanqi. It has the effects of hemostasis, pain relief and sedation. This is ginseng, which can greatly replenish vitality, nourish the spleen, lungs and kidneys, and have the effect of calming the mind.”

Feng Lingxi listened as Xiao Li introduced, suddenly a picture flashed in her mind, as if someone was narrating in her head, just like what Xiao Li said, there was someone holding medicinal herbs speaking. Feng Lingxi only felt a buzzing sound in her head, and a feeling of splitting headache swept over her. Feng Lingxi covered her head with both hands, and crouched down, the headache intensified, the picture in her mind became more and more chaotic. Feng Lingxi wanted to see the person's appearance clearly, but she was pulled to the brink of death by the pain.

"Miss, don't think about it, don't think about it."

Xiao Li saw that the Princess Consort had a headache, so she immediately knelt down and held her head, constantly comforting her. Feng Ling Xi, under her comfort, gradually stopped thinking about it, and the pain gradually disappeared. This was already half an hour later.

"Miss, are you feeling better now"

Wind Ling Xi raised her head to look at Xiao Li, "I just seemed to see someone talking to you like that. I wanted to get a good look at her face, and then my head started hurting."

No more thinking about it.

Xiao Li kept soothing her. Judging from the pain the Princess had just experienced, she couldn't be stimulated. Anything related to her shouldn't be mentioned, otherwise it would cause her further pain and distress.

"Who was that person Xiaoli, the Crown Prince said I lost my memory. Do you know what happened to me before I lost my memory"

After Xiaoli talked to her about romantic relationships between men and women, she realized that being a princess consort meant marrying Prince Huanghuo Qingyun and giving birth to his children. She didn't want to be with Prince Huanghuo Qingyun, not because he was bad, but because she felt a strong repulsion in her heart. She couldn't explain why she felt this way.

"I don't know what happened to the young lady before she lost her memory. If the young lady really wants to know, she can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, perhaps he knows."

Feng Ling Xi thought for a moment, her expression pensive. She shook her head.

"The prince saved me, but then I lost my memory. How could he know about my past"

Xiao Li helped her up and sat down beside her.

"Miss, since you can't remember, don't try anymore, lest your head hurts."

Feng Lingxi saw the worry in Xiao Li's eyes and had no choice but to give up.

"Little Li, I always feel like I know you, but I can't for the life of me remember where from. Do you get the same feeling"

Xiao Li was frightened by the Queen's words, just about to say something when a figure walked in. Xiao Li hurriedly got up and paid her respects, "Servant girl greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Huangpu Qingyun quickly walked to Feng Lingxi's face, looking at her slightly pale complexion, his eyes full of worry, "Xi'er, why is your face so pale"

"Your Highness, how did you come here Have you finished your work today"

Huangfu Qingyun sighed helplessly, "I'm worried about your health, but you ask me if I'm busy. Xi'er, is there something wrong with you that you want to tell me Don't hide it from me."

"I'm not feeling unwell, I just remembered some things and got a headache."

"Headache again"

Huangfu Qingyun's voice was loud, his gaze fell on Xiao Li, who hurriedly knelt down. "Your Highness forgive me, the slave didn't know that talking to Miss about medicinal herbs would also stimulate her. The slave knows she was wrong."

"It's not Xiao Li's fault, it's my body that's letting me down. Xiao Li just taught me about herbs, and I got a headache. I must have been resistant to these herbs even before I lost my memory, otherwise, I wouldn't react this way."

Huangfu Qingyun looked at the medicinal herbs on the table, "Do you have a headache because I'm teaching you to identify these herbs"

"I swear, I only taught the young mistress to identify medicinal herbs."

"That's right, Xiao Li just mentioned two herbs, and my head started hurting."

Huangpu Qingyun looked at the medicinal materials on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Which two medicinal materials are you talking about"

"Astragalus and ginseng."

Xiaoli pointed at the two medicinal herbs on the table, watching Huangfu Qingyun's narrowed eyes. She always felt that His Royal Highness was testing her.

Huangfu Qingyun picked up the Sanqi and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, "It's just an ordinary medicinal herb, how could it cause a headache"

"I don't know either, but after hearing Xiao Li talk about the effects, I got a headache."

Huangfu Qingyun saw Xiaoli's fearful eyes and said to Feng Lingxi, "I'll send you back to rest first. Don't think too much about it. It's just ordinary medicinal herbs."

After what just happened, she was truly exhausted. Huangfu Qingyun said to go back and rest, and she didn't think too much about it, so she went back to her room to rest.

Xiao Li stood at the door, watching Huangfu Qingyun come out. She lowered her head even further.

“Follow me, I have something to discuss with you.”

Xiao Li raised her head and watched Huang Fu Qingyun walk away. She hurriedly followed, her heart pounding with anxiety.

"Do you know why I called you here"

Xiao Li knelt before Huangfu Qingyun, hearing him speak sent a jolt through her heart. "Your Highness," she said, her voice trembling, "the servant knows she was wrong. She shouldn't have taken Miss to identify herbs and caused Miss to suffer a headache."

“This Palace has checked your background. You are not an ordinary slave. You were deceived by human traffickers while searching for someone, and they captured you before selling you here. Are you looking for someone named Xi'er”u Xiu's target is this king."Dugu Xiu's whereabouts are unknown.
