Chapter 1288: War Clouds Gather 99
d Princess, "Third Princess, if you have time, stay at the Fourth Prince's residence for a few days. I can show you the hospitality of a host.""I appreciate the kindness of the Fourth Princess. I'm af..."Let him rest. Come with me to see the patient's condition. We must not delay."
Feng Ling Xi called out, looking at Xiao Li's flushed face. The injury on her arm didn't seem to affect her.
"Xiao Li, remember to change your wound dressing."
"It's alright, I can take care of myself. Please don't worry, Your Highness."
Feng Lingxi nodded and, with Xiao Li, went to see the patients. These villagers were all confined to a courtyard. When they saw Feng Lingxi arrive, one by one, they stood up, but did not come closer. However, they all seemed much better.
How do you feel
Seeing Feng Lingxi approaching, they took two steps back, "Your Highness, please don't come closer to us. The poison in our bodies has not yet dissipated."
This awareness gradually came back, and they knew they were patients who would bite others. Looking at the wounds on themselves and others, the villagers felt ashamed and remorseful. None of them had expected that this good fortune of receiving a pie almost led to their downfall.
All those who are sick are the able-bodied men of the village, and they are all related to the women brought by the water spirit. Almost all of them are here.
Feng Lingxi heard them talking and was very happy for them.
"Don't be afraid, you've already taken the medicine, your bodies are recovering now, and you'll be well soon. I will do my best to treat you."
The villagers, looking into Feng Lingxi's sincere eyes, all knelt down. Feng Lingxi hurriedly stepped forward, but was stopped by the fence of the courtyard.
"What are you doing Get up, you're embarrassing me."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life."
The villagers felt tongue-tied and didn't know how to express their gratitude. They could only show their thanks in their own way to Feng Lingxi.
"Hurry up, you guys, you're really going to kill me."
The villagers stood up and bowed deeply to Feng Lingxi, leaving Feng Lingxi speechless. Looking at them getting better, she was truly happy for them. It wasn't that she wanted them to bow to her.
"Sister, how did you get here"
Li Nian came over with a bowl, her voice full of complaints. He checked on her every once in a while to see if she was awake. Luckily, this time she woke up and ran here, making him look for her everywhere.
"Come and see, they've all regained consciousness. The antidote really works." Feng Lingxi said to Lu Nian, she wasn't in a bad mood because of Lu Nian's blame. Seeing her so happy, Lu Nian handed her the chicken leg in his hand.
"Are you hungry Have something to eat to tide you over."
"Thank you." Feng Lingxi took a bite, her face beaming with a bright smile.
Lu Nian was very satisfied. His sister's attitude towards him had improved a lot. It seemed that as long as he put in more effort, his sister would definitely accept him.
"I'll get them some food later too."
Feng Lingxi instructed Xiaoli to thank the villagers and, along with Lu Nian, return home.
"These few days have been hard on you, having to stay here with me. I'm sorry for the inconvenience."
"It's really unfair, you know. I used to be pampered with good food and drink every day. Since coming here with you, I've almost starved myself."
Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian's figure, "Isn't it good Men don't need to be too fat. Besides, you volunteered to follow me back then. I didn't force you."
Although this might not sound very nice, it's the truth. Feng Lingxi doesn't want to force her into calling him brother just because of this.
"Well, since you like slim guys, you're in luck, your three brothers are all slim."
Feng Lingxi looked at Lu Nian's serious expression, "Don't try to fool me, I told you I don't recognize you guys. My mother wouldn't allow it."
"Your mother didn't make you stop recognizing your father, she just didn't make you recognize me as your brother."
Lu Nian smiled, "It's good to have a brother, we all spoil you."
"No need, I'm used to spoiling others."
Feng Lingxi rejected Lu Nian's kindness. These days, he had been very protective of her, and she felt the benefits of having a brother protect her. But even so, she couldn't accept him because of this.
"We spoil you because you spoil others, absolutely no ambiguity."
Lu Nian was quite magnanimous. His message said that his parents would arrive tomorrow, and he had to find a way to let them meet.
"Do you want to hear a story from your father"
"Not interested."
"What about the stories of my other three brothers And what about Mother's story"
"Don't want to hear it."
Wind Lingxing quickened her pace, Lu Nian chasing after her relentlessly, "Then tell me about your mother and your story. There are many things that can't be found out, just tell me."
Lu Nian's coquettishness made Feng Ling Xi's skin crawl, Xiao Li followed behind Feng Ling Xi, listening to their bickering voices and giggling.
"Sister."
"No, no."
Feng Ling ignored Lu Nian's coquettish pleas, quickened her pace, and didn't even look at Lu Nian.
The antidote for the seven-day madness was found, and the poisoned villagers regained consciousness. The toxins in their bodies were also cleared. By the third day, the villagers had fully recovered to normal health, and Feng Lingxi and Dugu City decided to return home.
This trip lasted seven or eight days. Feng Lingxi and everyone else had lost weight, but the thing that made her happiest was that a cure for the seven-day madness was found. Although they initially said there was no cure, they eventually found one for them.
Li Wuyan and Feng Lingxi, because of this incident, have become even more taciturn. Although they don't talk much, their views are becoming increasingly aligned, and what's more, Li Wuyan is very curious about the antidote Feng Lingxi used this time, but Feng Lingxi didn't tell him that it was the antidote given to him by his mother.
“The Crown Princess’s medical skills really opened my eyes. It seems that the title of Divine Physician truly belongs to you.” Luo Li teased, chatting along the way back to the camp. Luo Li's tone was so likable.
"What a quack doctor, he just spent more time on the surface. There is no incurable poison in the world, only people who are not skilled enough. Ayan, you agree, right"
Li Wuyan nodded in agreement, "However, your medical skills are indeed very good, I'm impressed."
“It’s not that my medical skills are better than yours, but that I’m luckier than you.”
Wind Ling smiled, "Actually, this time thanks to Lu Nian. He told me about the symptoms of his seven-day madness and told me about a very important medicinal herb. Without him, how could I have developed the antidote so quickly"
“I don't have that ability, it's still my sister’s.”
Lu Nian heard Feng Lingxi praise him, and hurriedly flattered back.
“We know quite a few antidotes. I, too, have tested the medicine and used this method to rule out options. Fortunately, after testing the medicine, I was able to achieve my wish. If you say that someone who does this is a divine doctor, then I can only be a quack divine doctor.”
Feng Lingxi's self-evaluation is quite good, with a constant smile on her face. This time, she has gained a lot.
Her mother's antidote, though not one she had concocted herself, came to her aid at the crucial moment. Though she couldn't tell Luo Li, Feng Ling Xi was content knowing that it could save the villagers and cure them of the seven-day madness affliction.
"Sister, you seem so happy today. There's something I want to tell you."tyard. "You're right, Feng Ao Tian did come here with this intention, but you shouldn't be too pessimistic either. He actually gave us quite a bit of face by coming this time."Dugu Cheng's words left...
