Sweat began to form on Wang Meng's forehead. The calmness he had cultivated in his daily life was no longer effective at this moment.
"This... I... I can't tell you. Please kill me."
"Kill you?"
Leng Xi suddenly stood up straight and snorted, "Kill you? Who will take care of your brother? Who will take care of your sick old mother at home?"
Wang Meng could tell that Leng Xi's words contained a threat, so he suddenly raised his voice and pleaded:
"Lord Xi, I have no other choice. Please don't tell Empress Li about this, or she will kill me."
"Well, tell the truth. She is my mother after all. Even if she asked you to do that, it must be for my own good. I won't go after her."
Hearing Leng Xi say this, Wang Meng finally let down his guard. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded.
"Yes, Madam Li is doing this for your own good. She doesn't want you to lose your bright future because of a woman."
Wang Meng's words were like a bolt from the blue, shaking Leng Xi's body. He hurriedly held onto the table beside him and nodded to himself.
"Okay, I get it. I won't question my mother about this matter, but if my mother asks you to hurt Long Xiaomin again in the future, you must tell me. Otherwise, not only will my mother kill you, I will kill you too."
Leaving these words behind, he strode out of Wang Meng's room and rushed away angrily.
He guessed it right. The person who wanted to kill Xiao Min was indeed his mother.
He never expected that his own mother would even kill the woman he loved. How could she be so cruel?
As he walked out of the palace, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, but he laughed out loud. It was a mocking laugh, a self-deprecating laugh.
As a prince of a country, he couldn't even protect a woman. What's even more infuriating is that the person who wanted to kill his beloved woman was actually his own mother.
This is a fact that he doesn't want to accept and dares not accept.
He was in a terrible mood, with an unknown feeling of heat filling his body. He felt like he was going crazy. In order to let him compete for his father's throne, his mother made him marry a woman he didn't like at all. Is power really that important?
After leaving the palace, Leng Xi did not return to Prince Xi's Mansion, but went directly to the Prince's Mansion. He wanted to see his elder brother who was despised by everyone.
He knew that his elder brother had done many wrong things and had a bad record, but he was his elder brother and they were brothers. No matter what, he hoped that he could live.
When he arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Leng Yun was sitting in a rocking chair in the yard basking in the sun. He didn't look very decadent, which made Leng Xi feel a lot more at ease.
“Brother…”
Leng Xi, who was very good at disguising his emotions, looked at Leng Yun with a smile and walked towards him.
"Fifth brother is here!"
Leng Yun sat up straight as he spoke, then pointed to the chair beside him, "Sit down! I haven't seen you for a long time."
Leng Xi sat down on the chair opposite him and nodded:
"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"
"Of course."
Leng Yun raised his eyebrows with a smug look on his face, "I'm going to have a son soon, and I'm in a very good mood."
Hearing this, Leng Xi looked at him with a hint of excitement, "That's great. Seeing you happy makes me feel relieved."
Leng Yun's pale face had an elusive smile on it, with the corners of his mouth raised, and he said calmly:
"How could I not be happy? No matter what, I am the Crown Prince now. My son was born as the Crown Prince and is the Emperor's first grandson. I don't believe that the Emperor would not like it..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came out.
"You little bitch, you're asking for death. I told you I wanted something sour, but you insisted on making it spicy. You're such a fool."
Leng Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wu Linlin walking out from the backyard with one hand supporting her back and her belly bulging. She looked very happy. There was no trace of sadness on her face. Perhaps, the matter of her uncle and her grandfather did not have much impact on her.
Seeing her come out, Leng Yun suddenly roared with a cold face:
"I told you to stay inside, why are you coming out? Go back inside."
Wu Linlin was stunned at first, but when she saw Leng Xi, she pushed her belly up hard and said proudly:
"Fifth brother is here!"
Leng Xi stood up and bowed, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Wu Linlin raised the corner of her mouth slightly, raised her eyebrows and replied:
"Fifth brother, please sit down! Ouch, this child is so naughty, he is kicking me again."
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Leng Yun suddenly shouted:
"I told you to go back to your room, didn't you hear me? Do you have to be asked to go back?"
Seeing Leng Yun's harsh tone, she was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed, and she turned around angrily and walked towards the backyard.
Looking at her leaving back, Leng Yun pointed at her and said angrily:
"You're already pregnant, but you're still wandering around outside. What if something gets dangerous and hurts my son?"
Leng Xi shrugged, chuckled and said:
"The emperor's sister-in-law is very energetic and has a loud voice. She doesn't look like she is pregnant for several months. Don't worry too much, big brother."
Leng Yun leaned back on the rocking chair again, squinting at the sky, and asked in a cold voice:
"I heard that Father is ill? Seriously? And was Liu Luolan treating him again?"
Leng Xi didn't expect that Leng Yun, who had been confined at home, was quite well-informed.
He smiled bitterly and nodded, "Big brother knows a lot, it's true."
Leng Yun raised a disdainful smile and said disdainfully:
"Don't look at me sitting at home. I know everything that happens outside, especially in the palace. Is the emperor planning to make Leng Yu the emperor? Is this true?"
