At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted:
"Prince Yu, if you can become the next emperor of the Great Ning Kingdom, you will definitely be a good emperor who is loyal to the emperor and loves the people. The people in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas all support you."
"Yes, we all support you."
"Support Prince Yu to be the emperor."
“…”
Seeing that everyone's voices were getting louder and louder, Leng Yu's brows furrowed even deeper.
Xiao Lingzi, who was standing behind him, saw that what these people said was a bit biased, so he quickly raised his hands and pressed them down.
"Everyone be quiet and listen to me."
In an instant, the crowd quieted down, and Xiao Lingzi raised his voice and shouted:
"Prince Yu knows everyone's gratitude towards him, but please don't say anything careless, especially in front of so many people. If you say anything careless, it will cause trouble for Prince Yu. Everyone should pack your luggage and prepare to leave."
After hearing what Xiao Lingzi said, some people in the crowd began to murmur a few words, and then everyone nodded.
"We understand. We won't say anything more. We thank Prince Yu for saving our lives. Prince Yu is a great benefactor to the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We will be grateful to you for the rest of our lives."
Leng Yu's face was very calm. After nodding to everyone, he jumped on his horse with Lin Dong, A Yu, A Hou and others. The people made way for them, and they rode forward, with everyone following closely behind.
This time, Leng Yu went to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. He brought a large amount of cash and food. Not only did he take away several deputy generals in the military camp, but he also brought 30,000 elite soldiers from the army. The strength of his lineup was astonishing.
Leng Xi received the news right after Leng Yu left, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He waved his hand to the messenger,
"Tell them both to move away before attacking, and try to make a fatal move. If they fail, they will be beheaded."
"clear."
"Also, tell those people waiting on the return journey to be alert to prevent Leng Yu from turning back halfway."
"Understood, I'll do it right away."
Looking at the back of the person who hurriedly left, Leng Xi's eyes kept flickering.
At this time, Yu Qiaoqiao walked in holding Xiaobao's hand.
"Your Majesty, Mother said she missed Xiaobao and asked me to bring him to the palace to see him."
Leng Xi raised his head, frowned slightly, and waved his hand, "Go now, and be back before noon."
"But... Mother asked Xiaobao to have lunch with her."
"No, my mother has been feeling unwell recently. Please don't disturb her too much. Come back before noon."
He didn't want to explain too much, and Yu Qiaoqiao and Xiaobao never allowed him to refute his words.
He knew that he had changed. He had changed since the moment Long Xiaomin died in his arms, because his heart was gone. He had become a heartless person. The four words "cold-blooded and ruthless" were the most appropriate to describe him.
Although Yu Qiaoqiao was a little confused, she still bowed and said, "I understand."
For so many years, she has always treated him with courtesy, but he has always been indifferent to her.
Until she walked out of the main hall, Yu Qiaoqiao's face showed no surprise or joy, and was extremely calm.
She had become accustomed to listening to him and doing what he asked her to do. She had no power to refute him, nor did she want to refute him. She felt that such a peaceful life was good. They did not disturb each other, and it would not be too embarrassing in front of outsiders.
The main reason why she could face Leng Xi so calmly was that Leng Xi had never taken a concubine. People outside rumored that it was because they had a good relationship.
But only she knew in her heart that they didn't look like a couple at all, but more like a pair of partners who got together for the sake of their children and certain interests.
"Mother, why doesn't father let us have dinner with the Empress Dowager? I want to stay in the palace and play."
Xiaobao held Yu Qiaoqiao's hand, looked up at her and asked in confusion.
"Just listen to your father. There's no reason. He must have his reasons for not letting us stay."
"But no matter what Dad says, you say it's right. Facts have proven that he's not always right. Why do you still listen?"
"Because he is your father..."
Yu Qiaoqiao didn’t know how to explain to Xiaobao, so she could only reply to him with this sentence every time.
Although Xiaobao was unwilling, he could only pout secretly because he didn't dare to refute Lengxi. Once, because of his crying, he was almost beaten to death by Lengxi. From then on, Xiaobao would be like Yu Qiaoqiao in front of Lengxi, well-behaved and obedient, and do whatever Lengxi said.
…
In the Yangxin Palace, Luo Lan once again tested the emperor's blood. The results showed that the poison content in the blood was getting less and less. She sighed with relief, changed his medicine, and walked towards the door.
Leng Yu should have left by now. For some reason, she always felt uneasy when she thought of Leng Yu.
When she opened the door, Zhang Yuan came up to her and handed her a letter.
"Princess, the prince sent this letter before he left."
Luo Lan took the letter with a frown on his face and gently scolded:
"Why didn't you knock on the door and bring it in earlier?"
"The prince said that there is no rush for this letter. I will give it to you when you come out."
Luo Lan took the letter, returned to the room and closed the door.
The letter Leng Yu gave her must contain very important content, so she had to read it slowly.
When she spread out the letter and read it word by word, her face turned from pink to pale.
Only after she finished reading the last word did she fold the letter bit by bit, put it in her pocket, and walked back to the door with a serious expression.
