"Yes, Princess."
After A Cai received the order, she stepped back. Only then did Luo Lan pick up the chopsticks and tell the three children that they could start eating.
After receiving her order, the three children picked up their chopsticks and began to eat slowly...
Inside the Palace
The emperor had just taken the small pill handed to him by Liu Xi when Concubine Li walked in wearing a long pink dress.
When the emperor saw her, he felt a little overwhelmed. Every time she came, she came to complain about Concubine Li, which was what annoyed the emperor the most.
Concubine Li is his favorite concubine recently. She is young, beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and she is pregnant. However, Concubine Li just dislikes her and often makes trouble for her. For this reason, the emperor has reminded Concubine Li several times, but it has no deterrent effect at all.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you just took medicine?"
Speaking of Xiao Yaowan, the emperor was still very grateful to Concubine Li, which was also the reason why he could indulge Concubine Li.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, enjoying the pleasure that the little pill brought him, and said in a daze:
"Yes, I have taken it, Concubine Li. Your medicine is truly miraculous. Although I have lost weight recently, every time I take this little pill, I feel like I am in ecstasy. This feeling is truly delightful."
Concubine Li came and sat down beside the emperor, massaging his calves while saying gently:
"You've lost weight because you've been dealing with too many chores lately and you're in a bad mood. How about this? I'll accompany you out of the palace for a few days. You don't have to attend court lately anyway..."
Leave the palace?
The emperor looked at her with puzzled eyes.
"Do you want to go to Xi'er's?"
Concubine Li shook her head vigorously.
"No, let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion. Yu'er has been complaining about you recently because you deposed him as the Crown Prince. The people in the streets are also quite critical of this. They are all saying that Yu'er just returned from a great victory. Even if he made mistakes, he still made contributions. Your Majesty, it is unfair for you to treat him like this. So, I think it would be better for you to go to Prince Yu's Mansion and stay for a few days to relax and let the people see that you are not turning a blind eye to him, a great contributor to the Great Ning Kingdom. This will also shut the people up."
After hearing what she said, the emperor shook his head indifferently.
"I'm used to staying in this palace. Why should I stay at Prince Yu's Mansion for a while? Forget it."
"Your Majesty, although you are used to staying in the palace, you are inevitably disturbed by state affairs. Last time you stayed in Prince Yu's Mansion, you were in a good mood after returning. Besides, didn't you also say that Lele is an excellent chess player, just slightly inferior to you, and he wanted you to give him some advice..."
While trying to persuade the emperor, Concubine Li blinked her eyes cunningly.
There are two people from Chu living in Prince Yu's mansion. She has no reason to investigate personally, so let the emperor find out. As long as the emperor knows about the two people from Chu, there will be something interesting to watch.
The emperor pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, Concubine Li also said that she has been feeling a bit bored recently, so I'll call her over and go for a walk together. I heard that the lotus flowers in the lotus pond outside the city are in full bloom, so I'll take her there to enjoy them."
The emperor was always thinking about Concubine Li, which made Concubine Li's face turn pale instantly.
But it doesn’t matter. As long as Luo Lan and Leng Yu are brought down, this Concubine Li will not be a threat at all.
Thinking of this, she nodded happily.
"Okay, then we'll travel light. However, I think it's best not to notify Prince Yu's Mansion in advance, so as to avoid them having to go to great lengths to arrange things..."
A surprise attack was the purpose of her going to Prince Yu's Mansion.
The emperor half-closed his eyes and waved at her.
"I'll follow your instructions. I'll take a nap. After taking this medicine, I sleep very soundly."
A smug smile flashed across Concubine Li's lips. She stood up, saluted, and walked out quickly.
She had already ordered people to place spies around Prince Yu's Mansion. As long as the two Chu people did not leave Prince Yu's Mansion, she would have a way to make them reveal their flaws in front of the emperor.
