Judging from Concubine Li's tone, she must be angry. Leng Xi hurriedly bowed and apologized:
"I'm ashamed. I've been busy lately, so I haven't had time to come to Liyuan to pay my respects to you. Please don't blame me."
"Don't be polite. I know your temper better than anyone else. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Seeing that Concubine Li had guessed his thoughts, Leng Xi hurriedly shook his head to deny it.

"Isn't the emperor ill? What are you going to do? You'll be turned away if you don't."

But if he has such high kung fu, why is he willing to be a eunuch by my father's side? Is there any way we can control him?"
"Control him? Hahaha..."
