Xiwangfu
Leng Xi did not go to the secret room to deliver food as usual.
His first intention was to wait for Leng Yu and the others to be poisoned by the cartilage powder, so that they would lose their ability to resist and he could easily capture them.
Secondly, he actually didn't dare to confront Leng Yu head-on. He didn't dare to face Leng Yu.
At this time, Leng Yu and others who were trapped in the secret room had just woken up.
Last night, Leng Yu ordered everyone to get a good night's sleep.
Because he expected that Luo Lan would bring people to look for him early this morning, so they had to get enough rest.
No one brought them food last night, and no one brought them food this morning either. Miraculously, An An and Huang Yun felt that they had strength again.
"Dad, I feel my hands are stronger. Is this cartilage powder ineffective?"
Leng Yu glanced at the candle on the table that was about to fall out and the box of incense that had lost its scent, and said in a deep voice:
"The cartilage powder comes from the candlelight and incense, as well as the food you've eaten. You haven't eaten since yesterday. The poison in the candlelight and incense has dissipated, and the poison in your body will naturally be less."
Having said this, he sighed and loosened the silk cloth on his mouth.
For the entire night, they didn't dare let the silk foot leave their mouths and noses for a moment, which made him feel suffocated.
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi went to the entrance of the secret room again and began to look for the mechanism to open the door. They always felt that this door could not only be opened from the outside, but also from the inside.
Anyway, they have nothing to do, so let them look for it if they want.
Huang Yun, who had been sitting on the bed, would always sneak a peek at Leng Yu. She was even glad to be able to spend a night with Leng Yu in the same room.
She never gets tired of looking at this face that she has been coveting for a long time, but she knows in her heart that Leng Yu only has Liu Luolan in his eyes and heart. No matter how much she likes him, she will not get a response from him.
Therefore, he could only hide this love secretly in his heart.
Leng Yu told An An about what had happened in Prince Yu's mansion during her absence, including Huaiyu's betrayal, Yang Feng's death, Luo Lan's longing for her, and everyone's worries about her...
An An listened to his words, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said angrily:
"This is all thanks to Leng Xi. Dad, don't worry, I will never let him go..."
Seeing that An An's eyes showed a look that was not suitable for her age, Leng Yu hurriedly comforted her.
"An An, this matter has nothing to do with you. He came here for Dad. If he wants revenge, Dad should do it. Don't let your imagination run wild."
An An frowned, thinking about what happened a few years ago, and muttered to himself,
"Dad, this matter has something to do with me. I've never told you and mother. Back then, it was Leng Xi who took me away from the capital, causing you and mother to search for me for so long, and almost causing me to lose my life. I've always kept this grudge in my heart. If I have the chance, I will come and avenge it myself."
Her words left Leng Yu stunned.
He looked at An An and asked distressedly:
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I didn't want you to have a conflict with him because of me, but I didn't expect him to cause you trouble again and again. So, he is not only your enemy, but also my enemy. Sooner or later, I will kill him with my own hands..."
“An An…”
Leng Yu suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He felt terrified to hear such cruel words coming from a little girl's mouth.
"An An, no matter what, he is your uncle, your elder. You can't have such thoughts. The hatred between Dad and him can't be solved by one killing the other. Promise Dad that you won't let your thoughts run wild, okay?"
An An bit her lips hard and nodded gently.
Although she seemed to have agreed to Leng Yu, in fact, her hatred for Leng Xi had not diminished in the slightest.
In this dim secret room, it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night, but Leng Yu could feel that Luo Lan was coming soon.
He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that nothing would happen to Luo Lan.
When he thought of this, he could no longer sit still. He stood up and walked to Zhang Yuan, and together with them, they searched for the button to open the door.
…
In the main hall of Prince Xi's Mansion.
Luo Lan, Liu Dechang and others stood in front of Leng Xi, looking at him seriously.
There was obvious panic on Leng Xi's face.
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, he still felt a little overwhelmed by the situation before him.
He looked at Liu Dechang's majestic face, but did not dare to look him in the eye.
He looked at Leng Ming's eyes filled with disgust and didn't dare to look at him any more.
And there was hatred towards him in Luo Lan's eyes.
But he quickly sorted out his thoughts and cleared his throat.
"Princess Yu, where is what I want?"
Luo Lan also asked bluntly,
"Where are my people?"
Leng Xi's mouth corner had a disdainful smile.
"I haven't even seen your stuff to see if it's real or not, so how can I possibly let you see it in person?"
"How can I show you something if I can't see anyone?"
"Liu Luolan, don't think I'll be flexible just because you let your father come with you. I want you to understand one thing: it was Leng Yu who led his men to break into Prince Xi's mansion at night, and my people detained him as an assassin. Let alone your father, even if the emperor came, I'd still be on the right side."
"You're right? You're right, yet you dare ask me to exchange the imperial seal for someone? You want the imperial seal, which means you have the intention of rebellion, and you still dare to pretend to be noble? I advise you to stop immediately if you know what's good for you. Leng Yu will show mercy and let you go because you are his brother. Otherwise, when you make a big mistake, it will be too late."
