After receiving the order, Ah Cai and Ah Hong headed in two directions. Luo Lan then said to Xiao Lizi:
"Please ask Eunuch Liu to come out."
Little Li did not dare to delay, turned around quickly and walked out of the Yangxin Palace.
Ever since the emperor went into seclusion to recuperate, countless eyes have been watching him outside the Yangxin Palace.
After just a short walk around the area, Ah Cai and Ah Hong each spotted a suspicious person. Ah Cai was holding a young palace maid by the collar, staring at her and questioning her.
"What are you doing here?"
"This servant... this servant is passing by."
"Don't lie, tell the truth, or I'll dig out your eyes."
Seeing Ah Cai's words were spoken with gnashing teeth, the little palace maid was frightened and her face turned pale. She hurriedly replied with a trembling voice:
"I am... from Hibiscus Palace. Concubine Li is worried about the safety of the Emperor, so she ordered me to come... to take a look..."
"Truth?"
"It's the truth. I dare not lie."
Ah Cai loosened her collar and shouted again with a cold face:
"Go away, don't tell anyone what you saw, otherwise you won't see the sun tomorrow."
"I understand. I'm leaving right now. I'm leaving right now."
The moment the little palace maid spoke, she took small steps and ran away like a flash.
On Ah Hong's side, two young palace maids and eunuchs who were peeping here were also caught. They were from Liyuan.
After dealing with the eye hidden in the corner, Eunuch Liu welcomed Luo Lan into the Yangxin Palace.
After Luo Lan followed Liu Xi into the Yangxin Palace, Liu Xi couldn't wait to introduce it.
"Princess Yu, look, the Emperor begs me to kill him every day. It hurts me so much to see him like that. If you have any way, please save the Emperor. I kneel before you."
Seeing Liu Xi about to kneel, Luo Lan quickly reached out to support him.
"Eunuch Liu, you don't have to kneel. I can treat the emperor, but during this time, no one is allowed to enter the Yangxin Palace. When you deliver food, you only need to knock on the door. Even you are not allowed to enter this door. You must promise to do this."
"I understand. I've known for a long time that Princess Yu treats people and doesn't allow anyone else to see her. I'll go out and arrange for someone to guard this place and make sure not even a fly can get in."
"Okay, please tell Prince Yu that I won't be able to leave here for at least seven days. Tell him not to worry about me. I will do my best to save the emperor."
"I understand."
"Also, tell Ah Cai and Ah Hong to return to Prince Yu's mansion and take good care of the children. If anyone asks, tell them that I went to the palace to accompany Prince Yu. Don't spread this matter, and don't let anyone know that I treated the emperor."
"I understand."
"Then let's not delay any further. Eunuch Liu, please go out first. From now on, lock the door here tightly. Don't let anyone in until I leave."
"I understand. I'll be leaving right away."
After he finished speaking, Liu Xi looked at the emperor lying on the bed through the screen with expectant eyes, sighed deeply, turned around and walked out.
Hearing the sound of the bolt falling outside, Luo Lan quickly ran to the door and lowered the bolt from the inside. Only then did he go to the emperor's inner chamber with peace of mind.
The emperor had just woken up, and the agonizing feeling that gripped his heart and liver once again filled his body. He used all his strength and sobbed, shouting:
"Liu...Xi, Liu Xi..."
Luo Lan came in front of him with a serious face. The moment he saw Luo Lan, the emperor instantly felt ashamed and his face became even paler. He looked at Luo Lan in horror, kept closing his eyes, and asked in a low voice with a hoarse voice,
"Why are you here? Where's Liu Xi?"
Although the emperor in front of him looked pitiful, Luo Lan did not sympathize with him. In fact, Luo Lan felt that he deserved it.
So, she replied in a cold voice:
"Liu Xi is outside. He asked me to see how long you can live."
“Cough cough cough…”
The emperor coughed forcefully a few times, then glared at Luo Lan and said with gritted teeth:
"I...I'm dead, you...you're happy, right?"
"I won't say if I'm happy, but don't worry, I won't be sad."
After saying this, she took out a dose of anesthetic from the medicine box she brought with her and mixed the medicine quickly. When the emperor saw it, he looked at her in horror.
"What...what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to kill you..."
"Get out of here... Liu Xi... Liu Xi, protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"
"Stop shouting. No one will come in. You've repeatedly harmed my husband, Leng Yu, for your own selfish reasons. Today, I'm going to avenge him. I've already cleared out the people outside. It's no use shouting at the top of your lungs."
In fact, Luo Lan hated him from the bottom of her heart, so when she faced him, she thought about what he had done to Leng Yu and had no way to comfort him.
Last time, when he was about to die, it was she who saved him. As a result, he only rewarded her with a plaque and did not take into account her life-saving grace at all. After Leng Yu returned victorious, he actually ignored him so much.
Now she was just scaring him. When he recovered, he would forget the pain. Such a moody emperor really made Luo Lan hate him to the core.
Although it was not wise to show off one's eloquence in front of the emperor, Luo Lan also wanted to speak more freely. After all, his life was in her hands now, and no one would doubt it even if she really killed him.
Seeing that Luo Lan was serious, the emperor suddenly stopped shouting. He looked at Luo Lan, and suddenly his eyes turned red.
"You're right. I'm sorry for Yu'er. I'm old and confused. I've done more than one or two things that have wronged Yu'er in my life. I mistakenly believed Leng Yun's words, causing Yu'er to become a paraplegic for three years. After Yu'er returned victorious because of the Chu people's incident, I took Yu'er's position as crown prince. I also mistakenly believed Leng Xi's words that he could make me immortal, and in the end, I made my life worse than death. These past few days, when I was sober, I thought that I was actually a complete tyrant who couldn't even tell the good from the bad. In the end, I lived without any dignity..."
At this point, he seemed a little sad, and a few tears slipped out of his eyes.
As soon as he finished saying this, his face suddenly changed, his body began to twist non-stop, and he kept wailing.
"Hurry... hurry and kill me. I will never... never blame you."
Luo Lan looked at him with sparkling eyes and sighed:
"There's no such thing as an elixir of life in this world. The previous emperor ruined his country because he was obsessed with the art of immortality. With such a lesson in mind, how could you still be so foolish?"
"Quick, kill me, kill me..."
The unbearable pain of being bitten by thousands of ants filled his body again. The emperor gasped and stared at Luo Lan.
"Kill me, and let Yu'er rule this country."
Luo Lan looked at him and replied coldly,
"Leng Yu is not interested in the kingdom you are reluctant to let go of."
