"Your Majesty, this is not a trivial matter. You must think twice. Besides, I have been accustomed to a carefree life over the years. I cannot sit on the throne."
"You don't have to be modest. I've seen all the changes you've made over the years. You're more suitable for the throne than I am. I've made up my mind. I'm planning to take her away in the next few days. By the time of her birthday next month, we'll have arrived..."
"Your Majesty...where are you going?"
"Don't ask, and don't say anymore. You don't need to persuade me about my decision."
"But……"
Seeing that Leng Xi wanted to say something more, Leng Yu waved his hand tiredly.
"I need to rest and recuperate. I don't want to worry about state affairs anymore. Just consider it as suffering for your fourth brother."
"Fourth Brother..."
At this moment, Leng Xi felt indescribable emotions in his heart. In the past, he had fought for the throne at all costs, but now, he was no longer interested in the throne, but his fourth brother insisted on forcing it on him.
He didn't know what to do, but Leng Yu didn't give him a chance to discuss it.
Fengyi Palace
During this period, Luo Lan always felt that she couldn't muster the energy to do anything. Even if A Cai tried to cheer her up in different ways, she just couldn't be happy.
When Leng Yu came, she was leaning on the table with one hand in a daze.
"Lan'er..."
She was awakened by his call, and hurriedly got up, giving him a forced smile.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"Lan'er, your birthday is next month. I want to give you a unique birthday present. Tell someone to pack up now. We're going on a long journey."
"Where are you going?"
"Don't ask. You'll know when the time comes. By the way, take everything you like and need to take with you. We're going there and we don't know when we'll be back."
Leng Yu's words left Luo Lan very puzzled.
She looked at him in surprise.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? I don't understand what you mean."
Leng Yu raised his hand and plucked the loose hair from her forehead, then smiled softly at her.
"You've been in a bad mood recently, so I'll take you out to relax."
"But...but this court matter..."
"I've already made arrangements, don't worry!"
Although Luo Lan didn't know what he wanted to do, but he said he could take her out to relax, she decided to be selfish for once, otherwise, she was really afraid that she would get sick from being bored.
However, what she didn't expect was that Lele would also go on this trip. She looked at Lele with heartache. This child had been studying all day since entering the palace. His life was as boring as hers, but she was powerless to do anything for him.
Now that Leng Yu allowed him to travel with her, she felt indescribably happy.
So far, no one knows about Leng Yu's plan to give up the throne except him and Leng Xi.
He had already planned that when they arrived at the place he had arranged in advance, Lan'er's birthday would also be here. He would tell her the news then, and she would be very happy.
While walking on the road, Luo Lan found that Leng Yu was different from before. He did not ride in the same carriage with her, nor did he eat with her.
She was puzzled by this, so she asked Acai to investigate secretly.
At night, after they checked into the inn, Ah Cai came hurriedly to report,
"Your Majesty, I asked Eunuch Qin, and he said that the Emperor has been feeling unwell recently, coughing frequently and feeling weak all over. However, the Emperor forbade him to tell anyone about this. He also told me that even if you knew about it, don't tell them that he was the one who told you, as he's afraid the Emperor will punish him."
Luo Lan had no intention of listening to what A Cai said next. She only heard that Leng Yu was sick, very sick.
She couldn't wait to go out and went straight to the room where Leng Yu was.
Qin Shun, who was guarding the door, saw her coming in a hurry and knew that she had known about this matter. He hurriedly bowed and saluted.
"My lady, please don't tell me what this old slave said."
Luo Lan nodded solemnly.
"I know, open the door!"
After Qin Shun opened the door, he replied:
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here."
Hearing this, Leng Yu, who was lying on the bed gasping for breath, suddenly became nervous. He hurriedly stuffed the bloody handkerchief under the pillow and then sat up from the bed.
Luo Lan came straight to the bedside and looked at him with displeasure on her face.
"Husband, you and I haven't slept together in months. I want to ask you, why is that? Do you hate me?"
Leng Yu hurriedly shook his head to deny it.
"No, I haven't been sleeping well recently. I'm afraid I'll disturb your sleep if I sleep with you."
"Having trouble sleeping? Then let me check your pulse."
As she spoke, she was about to pull his hand, but Leng Yu pulled it back directly.
"No, I'm fine."
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows directly.
"Leng Yu, what do you mean? Are you hiding something from me? Hurry and bring your hand here, so I can take a look."
Seeing that she was a little angry, Leng Yu's face turned pale.
Luo Lan walked forward regardless, pulled his hand over, and placed it directly on his pulse...
Is he really sick?
After taking his pulse, Luo Lan's heart instantly rose to his throat.
She withdrew her hand and looked at him with displeasure.
"Since you're not feeling well, why don't you come to me? What if your illness gets worse?"
After being scolded by her, Leng Yu looked at her with some shame.
"Lan'er, I'm afraid my illness is incurable, so I just want to spend some time with you while I'm still alive."
His words made Luo Lan laugh and cry.
Judging from his pulse, he must have been suffering from pneumonia due to overwork. This was probably a disease inherited from the late emperor. However, this disease would not be fatal at all for a doctor like her!
