Concubine Li suddenly raised her head and laughed. She looked at Leng Xi with a ferocious face, and then she swung her sleeves and sat back on her seat in Liyuan. She snorted lightly.
"Xi'er, do you think your mother just sits here in Liyuan all day drinking tea and tending flowers? Mother has already had someone investigate. This Liu Xi seemed to have popped out of nowhere. No identity information has been found. Moreover, I have repeatedly offered him benefits and tried to persuade him to cooperate, but he just played dumb and refused to accept any of my tricks. You want to control him? It's impossible. I think the only way to control him is... to kill him."
A hint of coldness flashed across Leng Xi's eyes. He frowned and said hatefully:
"In that case, then kill him. I will make the arrangements. Also, I feel that these seven days while my father is seriously ill are particularly important. Should we take advantage of these seven days to act?"
"Killing him is possible, but you must not do it yourself, and do not expose yourself. Remember, no matter what you do, do not let others know it was you who did it. This way you will have more opportunities. As for your father, do not take action yet..."
As Concubine Li spoke, she stood up from the chair and slowly walked to Leng Xi's side. As she paced back and forth, her eyes kept moving.
"Now, not only Liu Xi is an obstacle to us, but Liu Dechang and Leng Yu are even more of a stumbling block. Before we get rid of them, it will be difficult for us to succeed on our own. Killing the king and seizing the throne will be despised by everyone. We can't be too straightforward. We have to do it secretly and logically. Otherwise, you and I will both be doomed. Therefore, it is better to be cautious."
"But……"
Leng Xi hesitated for a moment, but continued:
"But last night, I forced my father to issue an edict, making me the crown prince. If Liu Xi hadn't come to disrupt my plans, I would be the crown prince of Daning right now."
Hearing this, Concubine Li's face changed drastically. She looked at Leng Xi with a ferocious expression, waving her sleeves and angrily scolded:
"You are so confused! Mother has already told you not to act impulsively or recklessly. Why don't you believe her? Now that the Emperor knows your ambitions, he will definitely be wary of you in the future. What are you going to do?"
"We have a little pill in our hands, are we still afraid that the emperor will not be under our control?"
"How many days' supply of medicine did you give the Emperor?"
"According to the current calculation, about two days."
"Okay, then go back and wait and see if Liu Xi comes to you to ask for the pill in two days. If he continues to ask for it, then it won't be a big problem. If he doesn't, then you should make plans early. Liu Luolan knows medicine, and maybe she'll get some clues and stop this."
"Then what should we do? Should we break into the Yangxin Palace to check on our father?"
"Can you get in?"
Concubine Li glared and raised her voice to scold:
"The Emperor is seriously ill today. I suspect it's related to you forcing him to make you the Crown Prince last night. You need to think carefully now. If the Emperor finds out about this little pill, how will you explain it to him? In other words, how will you maintain your position as Prince Xi?"
Concubine Li's words silenced Leng Xi. He lowered his head, clenched his fists in his sleeves, and his mind was spinning rapidly...
Prince Yu's Mansion
Leng Yu handled state affairs for the emperor. During this period, he had to eat and live in the palace. Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi accompanied him in the palace, so the Prince Yu's Mansion was much quieter.
Sina has been in a bad mood these days. Ever since her sister told her about Leng Ming last time, she didn't dare to look Leng Ming in the eye. Every time he came, she ran back to her room as if escaping. Leng Ming was quite puzzled by this, but he could do nothing about it.
At this moment, she was sitting in the pavilion, staring at the fish swimming in the stream. Suddenly, a hairy grass appeared in front of her.
"Yawn..."
Under the influence of the hairy grass, she sneezed violently.
"Who is it? I'm so annoyed..."
She was already in a very annoyed mood and started shouting hysterically without even seeing the other person's face.
"Why are you so angry? I was just joking with you."
Leng Ming held the hairy grass in his mouth and looked at her with a smile.
"What's wrong? Are you daydreaming again? Do you particularly enjoy daydreaming?"
Seeing Leng Ming suddenly appear, Xina suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of loss in her heart.
She glared at him unhappily and continued to stare blankly at the fish swimming in the stream.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that she ignored him, Leng Ming frowned and looked at her in surprise, "Why are you ignoring me recently? I haven't done anything to offend you."
His question made Xina silent. Yes, he had never offended her, but she just couldn't talk to him anymore. She had to remember what her sister reminded her, otherwise it would only hurt both of them.
Thinking of this, she replied coldly,
"Don't come to me again."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to see you."
"Why?"
When Leng Ming asked these three words for the second time, Xina suddenly turned to look at him and shouted angrily:
"Because I hate you, I don't want to see you, and I want you to stay as far away from me as possible. Do you understand?"
Her words left Leng Ming stunned.
He stared at her blankly, confusion flashing in his eyes.
He reviewed what had happened between him and Sina, but couldn't find any way to offend her.
So, he asked carefully again:
"Why do you hate me? We were always fine before, why do you hate me now? You have to tell me a reason!"
"There's no reason. I just hate you and don't want to see you. Don't come to see me anymore. We'll never see each other again."
Sina's words made Leng Ming stunned. Never see each other again? How much hatred must there be to say such a thing?
But when facing Sina, he couldn't get angry at all. He even felt distressed when he saw her angry.
"Xina, why do you say such things? We had many happy times together. Although we used to quarrel frequently, we don't quarrel anymore. Why do you suddenly hate me so much? If you really hate me, then I won't come to Prince Yu's Mansion anymore."
Leaving these words behind, he stood up and walked out of the pavilion...
Sina didn't dare to look at his back. She buried her head on the table and secretly shed tears.
She didn't want to say such hateful words to him, but if she didn't, he would keep coming to her. What should she do when the relationship between them reached the point where they couldn't extricate themselves?
If you hesitate when you should make a decision, you will suffer the consequences...
Although she understood everything, why was she so sad? Why did she feel a tightness in her chest?
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, with nothing but the breeze blowing gently on my hair.
"Sister, let's get to know each other again. My name is Leng Ming, and I promise I won't make you angry in the future."
