Leng Xi took a few steps forward, feeling a little embarrassed, and looked into the Yangxin Palace before saying:

"I have something to do and have to go out. How is the emperor?"

Before Leng Yu could answer, Liu Xi excitedly replied:

"The Emperor has been feeling much better these past few days. Today is the sixth day that Princess Yu has been treating the Emperor. After tomorrow, the Emperor will be able to attend court and handle state affairs normally."

Hearing this, Leng Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly and replied:

"The Fourth Princess has made great contributions, and the Emperor will surely reward her well. Can I go in and see the Emperor?"

"Not yet. Your Fourth Sister-in-law is giving medicine to Father. See you tomorrow."

Leng Xi nodded somewhat disappointedly, "Okay then! Fourth brother, I have something to tell you, do you have time?"

Leng Yu nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, Xiao Lingzi, you guys stay here and I'll accompany Prince Xi to the Imperial Garden."

Leaving these words behind, he and Leng Xi walked side by side towards the Imperial Garden.

The two brothers were silent all the way until they entered the Imperial Garden. Leng Xi couldn't help but ask:

"Fourth brother, why did the emperor treat my uncle so cruelly? Why did he banish him to a remote place? Why didn't he allow him to return to the capital for twenty years?"

Leng Yu stood by the lake, looking at the clear water, and sighed:

"Perhaps Father feels that the Emperor's uncle might pose a threat to his throne?"

"But they often played together when they were young, so they must have had a very good relationship, right? Why can't he tolerate his brothers after becoming the emperor?"

Leng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, then replied sadly:

"Maybe I have no choice. Maybe my character has changed since I took that position!"

Leng Yu's words made Leng Xi shudder. It seemed that his mother was right. Once a person reaches the supreme position, he will begin to fear losing this position, so he will think about eliminating all those who pose a threat to his position. This is really a terrible cycle.

After a long silence, Leng Xi asked calmly:

"The Emperor asked you to help him govern the country. Does he intend to pass the throne to you?"

"Maybe! But now that my father is in good health, the throne is still his."

Leng Xi sighed secretly and murmured:

"It seems that big brother's good days are numbered."

When mentioning Leng Yun, Leng Xi felt a little sad. When he had backup forces, he was the prince admired by everyone. Now that the backup forces have been weakened, he has become a lonely man who is ignored by everyone.

"it serves him right."

Leng Yu can forgive everyone except Leng Yun. The reason why he didn't kill him directly was that he wanted him to live and see that he was stronger than him. One day in the future, he would definitely cripple his legs and let him experience the feeling of being worse than death.

Leng Xi felt a little sad when he heard Leng Yu's almost screaming words. Perhaps, he should go see Leng Yun, otherwise, he might not be able to see him one day.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Leng Yu:

"Fourth brother, I'm leaving first."

Leng Yu did not try to persuade him to stay. "Okay, I guess Lan'er will be out soon, so I'll go back to Yangxin Palace."

As they talked, they walked side by side out of the imperial garden.

When the two were about to break up, Leng Xi looked at Leng Yu and suddenly asked:

"Fourth brother, Longwu Villa was attacked. Do you know about this?"

Leng Xi's inexplicable words made Leng Yu stunned for a moment, and then he asked curiously:

"How do you know? Did you go to Longwu Villa?"

Leng Xi pursed his lips and nodded, "Yes, the assassin went to the capital."

Capital?

Leng Yu pondered for a moment when he heard this, then frowned and said:

"Longwu Villa has no grudges or hatred against anyone in the capital. Who would attack them?"

Leng Xi's dark eyes flickered a few times, and then he clasped his fists and said:

"Fourth brother, I'm leaving first. See you later."

Leaving these words behind, he strode away.

He just wanted to see from Leng Yu's eyes whether this matter had anything to do with him, but Leng Yu didn't look like he was pretending, so perhaps this matter really had nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, his brows knitted together, he changed his route out of the palace, turned around and walked in another direction.

At this time, Wang Meng was sitting in the room bandaging his wound. Although he could not take care of the location of the wound, he had to do it himself in order not to attract other people's attention.

Wang Meng, who was summoned into the palace by Concubine Li three years ago, is the eunuch in charge of Li Garden and has a separate living room.

But Leng Xi always felt that this Wang Meng was a little different. He didn't speak like a eunuch. He didn't often serve in Liyuan, nor did he often walk around in the palace. In other words, he didn't live in the palace at all. He only appeared in Liyuan occasionally.

Therefore, when Long Changyun said that the assassins were from the capital, the first person he suspected was Wang Meng.

He came to Wang Meng's door and took a deep breath. He was ready to launch a surprise attack so as to catch him off guard.

Thinking of this, he pushed open the door. Wang Meng, who had already noticed someone coming, had already put on his clothes. When he saw him come in, he hurried over to greet him.

"Lord Xi, how come you have time to come to this servant's place?"

Leng Xi glanced at him and said indifferently:

"It's okay, come and take a look around."

As he spoke, he sat down at the table in his room, looking around vigilantly.

Wang Meng looked a little nervous. In order to divert Leng Xi's attention, he quickly poured him a glass of water and said respectfully:

"Lord Xi, please have some tea."
