efore, otherwise, how could she have been in contact with this princeWhy did she stay in the General's Mansion pretending to be foolish Was it Zhang Shi's intention or her own doing After all, since s...Yao Wan'ying took Feng Lingxi's hand, looking at the waiting father-in-law outside with worried eyes. "You child, why did you have to change your mother The situation in the palace is very complicated now. You stirred up this muddy water, wanting to get out unscathed won't be easy."

"Mother, Xier can handle this. You just have to be fine."

Seeing her mother safe and sound, she felt relieved. At least her mother hadn't suffered as much as the Empress Dowager.

Yao Wan-ying shook her head. "It's not as easy as you think. Can you handle it Do you know what happens in this palace All these intricate affairs, even Mother hasn't figured them out. You're on the border, do you think things are as simple as you understand"

Faced with her mother's question, Feng Lingxi's eyes were dazed. Thinking of yesterday's events, she hurriedly asked, "Mother, do all the Yao people have a '卍' character on their wrists"

"Did you meet them"

When Yao Wan'ying heard Feng Lingxi's words, her expression showed no surprise, as if she had expected it all along. This made Feng Lingxi even more curious, nodding her head, and then hearing her mother say, "This matter of the '卍' character is a long story. The fact that they attacked you means you have already posed a threat to them."

"Your Highness, it's time to enter the palace."

Outside, someone urged, watching Feng Lingxi hesitate and remind, "The Emperor is still waiting."

"Your Lordship, please wait a moment. This princess consort will have her maidservant fetch the medicine chest and then follow Your Lordship into the palace."

"The princess needs whatever medicine box, just tell our family, this Imperial Medical Bureau has everything…"

"Do you have a surgical knife"

Feng Lingxi didn't wait for her grandfather to finish speaking before asking, "Grandfather," she looked at Feng Lingxi, who was eating humble pie looking at her. He had never heard of this surgical knife.

"Fourth Princess, hurry up! We are also here to do our duty."

Feng Lingxi responded with a nod, meeting Yao Wan'ying's worried gaze and reassuring her, "Mother, stay well in the manor. I'll be back soon."

"Xier, be careful. The capital is now full of their people."

Feng Lingxi knew that the "they" Yao Wan'ying was referring to wasn't a single group of people. However, when they returned, they were already well-prepared. Bai Mo Bai would lead his army under the pretense of tribute and arrive first, while Huangfu Qingyun would be on his way there as well. As long as there was any movement in the capital city, their armies would storm into the city to meet up with them. It remained to be seen who would ultimately prevail.

Feng Lingxi responded, watching Duguo City come out. Seeing Yao Wan'ying return, she greeted her and walked to Feng Lingxi's side, whispering, "Your mother is awake, go see her."

Wind Lingxi glanced at her father-in-law outside, "I have to go into the palace. You help me take care of Mother."

Hearing that Feng Lingxi was going to enter the palace again, Dugu City frowned, looking unpleasantly at his father-in-law who seemed impatient. "Isn't there a chief physician in the Imperial Hospital Why does my wife have to do the work of a physician Do you even consider me"

Duke Gucheng was furious, and angrily rebuked. Zhang Gonggong hurried forward and, with a smile, explained, "Fourth Prince, please calm down. This is all the Empress Dowager's decree. The Emperor suddenly fell into a coma last night and none of the imperial physicians could cure him after working all night. The Empress Dowager said that your medical skills are outstanding, so she specially asked you to come..."

"When did my queen's medical skills become so advanced that she could replace the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau"

獨孤城的質問讓張公公臉色一陣青一陣白，獨孤城這般懟他，他是真的害怕。 Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Now the Emperor is bedridden. Everyone in the Great Yuan knows about the Fourth Prince's temper. Before, you could still say something, but now he's truly scared.

"Please calm your anger, Your Royal Highness. This is all according to the Empress Dowager's orders. A servant dares not disobey..."

"This is my king's manor, Xi'er is my king's queen, and the daughter-in-law of Empress Shu. Now that Empress Shu is ill in bed, as her daughter-in-law, she should serve by her bedside. Could it be that the ancestral precepts of the late emperor have been forgotten"

Du Gucheng looked at Feng Lingxi, his handsome face slightly darkened. "As a daughter-in-law, with your mother-in-law bedridden, how can you spare time to enter the palace The imperial physicians of Taiyi Hospital aren't useless; when did it become your turn to snatch their jobs"

"This servant shall go now."

Feng Lingxi feigned a look of grievance and disappeared into the backyard in a flash. She truly hadn't expected Du Gu Cheng to come up with such a scheme. It seemed that the situation within the palace was fundamentally **inseparable**.

She just needed to follow Dugu City's footsteps. It was better to stay in the palace and avoid causing trouble, so that Empress Cen wouldn't think she was easy to bully.

Zhang Gonggong saw Feng Ling leave and wanted to stop her, but Dugu City sternly reprimanded him.

"Zhang Gonggong, since the Emperor is bedridden, why are you still standing there Quickly bring all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to attend to the Emperor. If you delay his treatment, who will be held accountable for the consequences"

"This servant will go at once."

Zhang Gonggong's body trembled at being scolded by Dugu City. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He knew he would be punished for returning, but he didn't dare to linger here. If he stayed any longer and angered the Fourth Prince, he might lose his head.

After dismissing the palace servants, Duguo City looked at his mother-in-law watching the play beside him and put away his serious expression. "Mother-in-law, you've worked hard this time."

Yao Wan'ying smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to stand up for Xi'er and send those people from the palace away. It seems that with you by her side, I can finally rest assured."

"Xi'er is my king's consort, protecting her is my duty. With the Emperor bedridden, Xi'er entering the palace now could lead to accusations. I don't want history to repeat itself on her. Even if the Empress Dowager is angry, given the current situation, she wouldn't dare touch me."

Yao Wan'ying nodded. He was right, Dugu Yan's situation was critical. Even if Empress Cen was displeased, she had to bear it this time.

"Mother, there's something this King doesn't understand. Since Xi'er went to visit her mother, could Mother please enlighten me"

"Conveniently, I also have something to tell you. Let's find a place; I'm getting hungry."

Feng Lingxi was absent, and both Yao Wan Ying and Dugu City had their own concerns. There were some things they didn't want Feng Lingxi to know. Both of them had the same goal, so they reached a consensus.

Inside the palace

Wind Lingxi failed to arrive. Empress Cen was furious. Upon learning that it was Dugu Cheng who had stopped Wind Lingxi, she, despite being livid and turning ashen with rage, dared not actually send someone to arrest Wind Lingxi and Dugu Cheng. The current situation was extremely unfavorable for her.

Dugu Yan's situation was critical. As the empress, Feng Yu Xi couldn't stay by Dugu Yan's side, but instead, Dugu Cheng handled the state affairs and wanted to become regent. For this, Cen Tai Hou and Feng Yu Xi had a huge argument. But most of the civil and military officials in the court were bought by Feng Yu Xi, and besides, they had long been dissatisfied with her interference in state affairs. Now her situation was very threatening. If at this time, Feng Yu Xi and Dugu Cheng turned against each other, Feng Yu Xi would take the opportunity to seize power, then she would be in even greater danger.

"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince requests an audience."

When Empress Cen heard that Dugu Xiu had arrived, her brows furrowed slightly. Thinking of Dugu Yan's current situation, she said, "Help me over to lie down."

Dugu Xiu entered Shou'an Palace, and seeing the empress dowager lying on the bed with a pale complexion, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects, "My son pays respects to the Empress Dowager."
