He covered his mouth with his hands and coughed lightly, then glanced at the hand behind the screen.
The hand shook up and down a few times, and Leng Xi nodded with satisfaction, as if he had understood the meaning of the gesture.
With a greedy smile on his face, he waved to the butler beside him.
"Arrange someone to bring the father and daughter out."
The butler nodded and walked towards the door, understanding what he meant.
Luo Lan put the jade seal into her arms again and then into the operating room. Although Leng Xi didn't understand how the jade seal could shrink freely in her hand, the person behind the screen had told him that the jade seal was real, so he was determined to get it.
Inside the secret room
An An, who had nothing to do, also joined in the search for the door switch. She searched her memory carefully and finally remembered that every time Leng Xi went out, he seemed to bend down, seemingly to pick up his shoes, but he never took off his shoes after entering the house. Could it be...
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to lie on the ground and search carefully. Suddenly, she saw that there was indeed a raised floor tile under the carpet at the door. She pressed it hard, once, twice, three times... The door of the secret room slowly opened.
Leng Yu, Zhang Yuan and the others immediately looked towards the door in alert. Leng Yu, realizing the danger, hurriedly called out to her, "An An, come to Daddy."
Not until the door was completely opened did Zhang Yuan look outside. After making sure it was safe, he and Xiao Tanzi went in front, Leng Yu and An An followed behind, and Huang Yun followed behind them quietly.
As soon as they arrived at the study door, they heard footsteps outside. Leng Yu hurriedly signaled Zhang Yuan and the others to hide behind the door.
After a while, the door of the study opened, and Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi stepped forward together, putting knives on the necks of the housekeeper and several guards who came in.
The housekeeper immediately raised his hands and looked at them with a sly look.
"You...why did you come out?"
Leng Yu frowned and asked in a low voice,
"Is Princess Yu here?"
The butler nodded hurriedly.
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Leng Yu winked at Zhang Yuan, and then Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi used their strength to knock on the heads of several guards. The guards fell to the ground instantly. Seeing this, the housekeeper begged for mercy.
"Prince Yu, I have no grudge against you, please don't..."
Before he could finish his words, Zhang Yuan punched him hard on the back of the neck. Without even a chance to respond, he fell to the ground and fainted.
After dealing with these guards, Leng Yu instructed Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi:
"The princess and the others are in the front yard. Let's go and take a look..."
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi nodded together. Leng Yu took An An's hand and said softly:
"Don't run around later. Stay by Daddy's side."
"Dad, I understand."
Leng Yu then took Zhang Yuan and others and went straight to the main hall of Prince Xi's Mansion.
At this time, Leng Xi was sitting in the Zhengchang Hall, looking towards the door with a serious expression.
According to his prediction, Leng Yu and others had already been poisoned by the cartilage powder, causing them to feel weak all over. It was easy for a few guards to deal with them.
But he forgot that the medicinal effect of the cartilage powder would dissipate over time.
Suddenly, a servant came running in.
"Your Highness, this is bad. The butler and the others were... knocked unconscious."
Hearing this, Leng Xi stood up immediately.
"Where's Leng Yu?"
"They... I don't know where they went. You just asked me to go check on them. When I got to the study door, I saw it was open..."
Just as Leng Xi was getting angry, a voice seemed to come from the sky.
"The King is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Lan looked back and saw Leng Yu holding An An's hand, appearing in front of her like a giant Buddha shining with golden light.
When An An saw her, he ran towards her happily.
"mother……"
“An An…”
The mother and daughter hugged each other, Leng Yu walked inside, and Leng Xi pointed at him in panic.
"You...you're not poisoned?"
Leng Yu had a scornful smile on his face.
"You probably don't know that the poison in the cartilage powder will dissipate over time, so you need to add it frequently."
After he reminded him, Leng Xi frowned immediately. It was not that he didn't want to go, but because Leng Yu was in the secret room, he didn't dare to go.
But now that things have come to this, he knows there is no turning back.
He waved his hands and shouted,
"Someone come here!"
At this time, Liu Dechang glanced at Leng Yu, and after getting his permission, released the flare in his hand.
At the same time, outside Prince Xi's Mansion, countless soldiers rushed in, holding spears and swords, and surrounded Leng Yu and others.
Leng Yu looked at Leng Xi and warned him contemptuously:
"Lengxi, what do you want to do? Do you know what you are doing?"
Leng Xi chuckled lightly,
"Of course I know. If you leave the seal, I can let you go. Otherwise, no one will leave here alive today."
"You want to rebel?"
"Prince Yu, you are wrong. I am not rebelling, I am acting on behalf of Heaven. Prince Yu, you took advantage of the darkness to break into my Prince Xi's mansion and commit murder. How can someone like you be qualified to be the emperor?"
Seeing him making unreasonable arguments, An An got angry and pointed at him and questioned him,
"Lengxi, you locked me up and made me take the poison from the cartilage powder every day, making me unable to move. My father came to your Xi Palace to save me, but you framed him for the murder. How could you be so despicable?"
Seeing An An, a little girl, insulting him, Leng Xi instantly turned pale with anger.
