Although Leng Xi hadn't finished speaking, he knew that he was a little too worried. Since his fourth brother brought them here, he must have already made arrangements. He was indeed too impatient just now. Thinking of this, he pursed his lips secretly and followed him with some embarrassment.
Arriving at the quiet private room in the teahouse, the four of them sat down one by one, while Acai and Ahong stood guard outside the door.
The four of them drank tea and chatted. Leng Xi was the one who talked the most. Leng Ming was the one who spoke less and often sat there in a daze. Leng Yu's eyes drifted towards Luo Lan from time to time, and then he smiled gently at her.
After a while, Ah Hong opened the door of the private room and bowed, saying:
"Your Majesty, someone is looking for you outside."
Hearing this, Leng Yu seemed to have known it for a long time. He stood up and walked out the door.
The person waiting outside the door was Xiao Lingzi. When he saw him come out, he clasped his fists and saluted.
"Your Majesty."
Leng Yu looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then he said in a cold voice with a serious expression:
"Did you find out?"
Xiao Lingzi looked up at Leng Yu and nodded seriously.
"I found out. They are indeed taking action."
Hearing this, Leng Yu smiled scornfully. He tightened his expression and asked again,
"Is everything arranged?"
Xiao Lingzi hurriedly clasped his fists and replied:
"It's all arranged. Your subordinates will ensure your and the princess' safety. By the way, Your Highness, I heard there will be a martial arts tournament in Quancheng in mid-February. There are many hidden secrets involved. I think this is a good opportunity to win over people."
Leng Yu raised his eyes slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice:
"Go and find out about the martial arts conference. Our Rebirth Hall must grow stronger in a short period of time."
A glimmer of hope appeared in Xiao Lingzi's eyes. He seemed to be very excited about the imminent expansion of the Rebirth Hall. He clasped his fists and said:
"I understand. I'll go right away."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned quickly and disappeared around the corner of the stairs in an instant.
Leng Yu pondered for a while, and just as he was about to turn around, Luo Lan came out to greet him.
"My husband, what happened?"
Seeing her worried look, Leng Yu hurriedly shook his head, "It's okay, Xiao Lingzi came to see me and talked about some trivial matters. I'll tell you in detail when I have time."
Although he didn't want to hide anything from her, he couldn't let her know about the Lantern Festival tonight, so as not to spoil her fun.
Prince's Mansion
Leng Yun sat at the first seat in the main hall, his face slightly gloomy, his fists clenched tightly together.
Wu Hong glanced at him, then sighed:
"Yun'er, uncle said he would help you, and he will definitely help you. Don't worry, tonight is the day they die."
Leng Yun gritted his teeth and raised his eyebrows:
"No, Leng Yu can be killed, but Shui Luolan will be kept. This prince will personally torture her to death."
Thinking of Shui Luolan's pretty face, a lustful look appeared in Leng Yun's eyes.
Shui Luolan is the woman he cannot touch, but wants to get in his dreams.
Especially after hearing that she stole the show at the New Year's Eve banquet, he wanted to press her under him, rub her hard, make her submit to him, and even better, make her betray Leng Yu, so that he could relieve his lovesickness and take away the hatred in his heart.
Wu Yuanzhang slammed the table and yelled at him at an inopportune moment:
"You really haven't changed. That woman almost killed you, and you're still thinking about her?"
Leng Yun pulled the corner of his mouth and replied with icy eyes:
"I, Leng Yun, have made it my ultimate goal in this life to take Shui Luolan under my wing. Otherwise, what's the point of fighting over it? I won't be able to close my eyes even if I die."
Hearing him say this, Wu Hong quickly winked at Wu Yuanzhang, then laughed and said:
"Yun'er has been a playboy all his life, so it's not easy for him to get a woman. But this Shui Luolan is a little special. She is Leng Yu's woman. If Yun'er wants her, he has to conquer the world first and sit firmly on the throne. Then, the world will be yours. Wouldn't that woman kneel down and beg you?"
Wu Hong's words made Leng Yun raise his head with hope. He looked at Wu Hong and asked anxiously:
"Uncle, what do you think I should do? What should I do to ascend the throne? Otherwise, you should kill my father right now, and I can succeed him as the crown prince."
"Confused."
Wu Yuanzhang was so angry that his beard curled up. Seeing this, Wu Hong raised his hand to stop him from continuing and said to Leng Yun in a soothing tone:
"Now is not the time. Not to mention that Leng Yu has become a thorn in our side again, Liu Dechang alone is not someone we can deal with. However, I plan to get rid of Leng Yu tonight. As for that woman, if I can catch her, my uncle will definitely catch her for you. For now, you must take good care of your feet. After the confinement period is over, behave well in front of the emperor, and then find an opportunity to take action and get rid of Liu Dechang. Without any future troubles, then you can naturally inherit the throne."
Wu Hong's words seemed to give Leng Yun a boost of energy. He immediately stood up from the chair, but his legs went weak, forcing him to sit down again.
He waved his arms and gritted his teeth angrily:
"Okay, let's do as you say, uncle. That damn Leng Yu, I guessed long ago that he was the one who hurt me that night. He injured my feet that day, and now I want him to pay with his life. By the way, uncle, can you capture Leng Yu alive? I want him to see with his own eyes how I tortured the woman he held in his palm."
Hearing Leng Yun's disappointing words, and looking at his eyes that were devoid of fighting spirit but full of lust, Wu Hong sighed helplessly, frowning and saying:
"Leng Yu can't live any longer. The Emperor has appointed him as the General Protecting the Nation. What an important position! You've been the Crown Prince for years, but it's just a title. Where's the real power? This shows that the Emperor is determined to use Leng Yu."
