At daybreak, the emperor began to scratch his head and cheeks, feeling itchy and uncomfortable, and kept muttering,
"Medicine... bring me medicine..."
Liu Xi took small steps, handed him the pill, and then brought the cup of water to his mouth.
After taking the medicine, the emperor was quiet for a moment. He asked weakly:
"Why do I feel like this medicine is becoming less effective? After taking it, not only do I not feel the same relaxed feeling as before, but I feel weak all over and can't even open my eyes."
Liu Xi stepped forward and comforted softly:
"Your Majesty, if you are sleepy, go to sleep. This medicine is fine."
"well!"
He couldn't help but think that there was nothing wrong with the medicine, but the person who delivered it was the problem. Leng Xi didn't get the position of crown prince as he wished, so he was afraid that he would not give him the little pill that really worked.
Thinking of this, he wanted to raise his voice irritably, but found that he had no strength at all, so he simply said in a low voice:
"Go... call Prince Xi here. I have something to say to him."
"Your Majesty, is there anything important you wish to convey to Prince Xi? I have already had the Ministry of Rites inform all the ministers in the court that you are unwell and will not attend the morning court for seven days. I would also like to ask you if the memorials submitted over the past few days should still be reviewed by Prince Yu as before?"
In fact, Liu Xi has always felt that Leng Yu is a more suitable candidate for the future heir to the throne, but the emperor believed in slander and abolished his position as crown prince. If Princess Yu can bring the emperor back to life this time, he will definitely ask the emperor to revoke the imperial decree and let Prince Yu sit on the position of crown prince again.
"Liu Xi, you said that if I abolished Yu'er's position as Crown Prince, would he bear a grudge against me?"
"No, Prince Yu is not a petty person. When you stayed at Prince Yu's mansion a few days ago, he took good care of you. From this, it can be seen that he is a man of great achievements and will not be obsessed with such trivial matters."
"I hope so."
The emperor blinked weakly a few times, then said gloomily:
"You have followed me for many years. You are responsible for handling the affairs of the court. I really don't want to be involved in these matters anymore."
After saying this, he closed his eyes in pity. In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, he seemed to see Leng Yu's mother, smiling and waving at him...
Seeing that the emperor had fallen asleep, Liu Xi couldn't wait to order someone to summon Leng Yu to the palace. Since the emperor asked him to handle the affairs of the court, he needed to let Prince Yu come forward at this time.
Prince Yu's Mansion
After Luo Lan sorted out the clothes for the three children, he sternly admonished them:
"You guys got up late today. You have to get up a quarter of an hour earlier tomorrow. Do you understand?"
"knew."
"Why didn't you go and pay your respects to Grandma today? Why didn't you come and pay your respects to Mom and Dad? Why didn't you go to the door to greet the master when he came?"
Huaiyu lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. An An blinked a few times and replied in a low voice:
"Mom, I'm sorry, we were wrong."
“Haha…”
Before she could finish her words, Lele yawned at an inopportune moment...
When he saw his mother and father looking at him, he immediately closed his open mouth and held back his yawn.
Luo Lan suddenly realized something was wrong. She looked at the three children with a cold face, pulled out her crystal whip from her sleeve, held it in her hand, and asked sternly:
"Tell me, what did you do last night? Why do you all look so sleepy?"
Seeing that her mother had discovered the clue, An An pouted and muttered softly,
"Le Le, it's all your fault. Mom found out."
"I was so sleepy that I almost fell asleep standing up..."
"Then you can't yawn either. Now, how do you explain it?"
Listening to the two children muttering to themselves, Leng Yu suddenly took two steps forward with a cold face and said seriously:
"Go to bed and get up on time every day. This is the rule your mother set for you. Have you forgotten it? Did you sneak out to play in the back garden last night? If you don't tell me the reason today, not only will your mother's whip hurt, but your father will also let you taste the strength of my slap..."
Leng Yu's words made the three children lower their heads even lower. Seeing that they remained silent, Luo Lan suddenly loosened the crystal whip in his hand, and said with hatred in his eyes like lightning:
"You won't tell me, right? Well, don't blame me for being rude..."
"Mom, I said..."
When everyone was caught off guard, Huaiyu suddenly knelt on the ground, looked at Luo Lan with tears in her eyes, and continued with a sob:
"Mom, this is all my fault. I wanted to go outside to look at the stars, and my brothers and sisters were afraid that I would be scared alone, so they kept me company. Before we knew it, we all went to bed late."
"Look at the stars?"
Luo Lan looked at Leng Yu in astonishment, then raised his voice and shouted angrily:
"What's so beautiful about the stars? Why go to see them so late at night? There's a lot to do during the day, don't you know? I've always warned you not to do anything during your sleep hours so you can be more alert during the day. Are you turning a deaf ear to my words?"
Seeing that Luo Lan was angry, An An quickly closed his eyes and shouted with all his strength:
"It was mother who said that my brother's biological mother is watching over him in heaven. We were afraid that brother Huaiyu would be lonely waiting to see his mother, so we wanted to accompany him."
An An's words made Luo Lan stunned for a moment. Her hand holding the whip dropped weakly, and Leng Yu's eyes suddenly turned red.
Lele couldn't help but blame:
"Didn't I tell you not to tell? This is a secret between the three of us, so why did you tell it?"
"Can't you see that mother is angry? If you don't tell me, it will hurt when mother whips you."
