Concubine Li is smart. Just now, she suddenly changed her mind. Since nothing else can arouse Leng Xi's confidence in seizing the throne, she will use Long Xiaomin to stimulate him.
Leng Xi stood up from the ground, facing Concubine Li, and said with a lost look:
"Can I make her my concubine now?"
Concubine Li's mouth curled slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, then she sighed and shook her head:
"Once your father dies and Leng Yu becomes the emperor, you will be like a thorn in his throat. Do you think he will just let you pose a threat to him and do nothing? He will think you are in the way and will remove you directly."

"Is the only possible outcome for our brotherhood to be separation? Killing each other?"

After leaving Liyuan, he went straight to the Yangxin Palace. Perhaps his mother was right. It was time for him to go to his father's side to show his filial piety, at least to let him know that his son existed.
When he arrived outside the Yangxin Palace, he saw Leng Yu talking to Liu Xi. He immediately changed his expression and appeared in front of Leng Yu.
"Fourth Brother..."
When Leng Yu saw him, he immediately frowned and asked,
"Where have you been these past few days? Why haven't you even appeared in sight?"
