When Liu Xi heard the news that the emperor had woken up, he could not believe his ears. He looked at Luo Lan in surprise and asked repeatedly,
"Really? The emperor is really awake? Quick, let this old servant go and take a look."
"Eunuch Liu..."
Seeing that Liu Xi was a little excited, Luo Lan hurriedly called him and carefully reminded him:
"Eunuch Liu, it's not appropriate to make this public right now. I haven't told anyone about this either. Please don't get excited..."
"Okay, okay, I'm not excited. I can walk now. The emperor only likes me to serve him. I'll go now."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to stand up with the help of the wall. Seeing this, Luo Lan wanted to go over to help him, but he stopped him.
"Princess Yu, there's no need to do it. It's against the rules. I can do it myself. Please go ahead and I'll follow."
Luo Lan nodded, lifted her skirt and walked forward, and Eunuch Liu followed closely behind her, step by step.
Inside the Yangxin Palace, the emperor was still lying on the bed with his head in his hands. Luo Lan did not follow Liu Xi in, but chose to wait outside. Some things were much more convenient for them to talk between master and servant than having Princess Yu present.
After entering the Yangxin Palace, Liu Xi's lips trembled as he walked towards the dragon bed step by step, tears flashing in his turbid eyes.
The emperor, perhaps having heard his light footsteps, asked quietly:
"Is it Liu Xi?"
"emperor……"
Liu Xi dragged his injured ankle and walked quickly to the side of the emperor's bed. He knelt on his knees and replied with a sob:
"Yes, Your Majesty, you finally woke up. I was so worried about you."
The emperor tilted his head and saw that Luo Lan had not come in. He then supported himself and sat up, holding his forehead with one hand, frowning at Liu Xi. When he saw Liu Xi's foot injury, he asked anxiously:
"What happened to your foot?"
Liu Xi hurriedly shook his head to explain,
"It's okay, I just suffered a minor injury. Your Majesty, I'm fine now, and my foot doesn't hurt anymore."
The emperor sighed, half-closed his eyes, and murmured:
"A lot has happened in the palace these past few days! Tell me about it!"
"Well, not only did a lot of things happen in the palace, but also outside the palace. I will tell you one by one now."
After that, Liu Xi told the emperor everything that had happened in the past few days, one by one.
When he heard about the theft from the treasury, he was so angry that veins on his face bulged and he shouted angrily:
"These parasites, the parasites of Daning State, I trusted them so much, and yet they stole from me. This is really too much."
"Your Majesty, you have just recovered, so please do not be angry. Prince Yu has resolved all these matters. Although some silver was lost, fortunately most of the treasury silver was saved. Zhang Ting's entire family is waiting in the prison, awaiting your awakening to make a decision. This time, if it were not for Prince Yu, not only would the silver in the treasury be missing, but the victims would have caused chaos in the capital. This old servant believes that you should reward Prince Yu well."
"I know, I'm hungry, please give me something to eat!"
"Please wait a moment. I will go right away."
After saying this, Liu Xi was just about to get up when he heard a noise coming from outside.
It turned out that before noon, Leng Xi had already rushed into the palace with three thousand people and blocked the inside and outside of the palace.
Seeing him wearing armor and leading his men, coming aggressively, Luo Lan frowned, then warily whispered to Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi:
"He's not friendly, everyone please be careful."
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi both came to stand beside her, with their hands on their swords, as if ready to fight her at any time.
The hundreds of imperial guards guarding outside the Yangxin Palace also gathered towards the entrance of the Palace with serious expressions, looking vigilantly at Leng Xi and others.
Leng Xi rushed to Luo Lan like a flash of lightning. Luo Lan looked at him and asked angrily:
"Lord Xi, you brought weapons and soldiers into the palace without permission. What is your intention?"
Leng Xi did not respond to her, but raised the long sword in his hand and pointed it at her, asking sternly:
"Princess Yu, you, along with Liu Xi and these insignificant generals from your Prince Yu's palace, have trapped the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace for days. Today, I will enforce justice and bring you to justice, saving the Emperor from this dire straits."
Luo Lan's eyes were covered with a layer of coldness. He looked at Leng Xi coldly and snorted.
"Prince Xi, are you here to save the Emperor, or to force him to abdicate? You brought so many people into the palace. I can understand that you want to take advantage of Prince Yu's absence in the capital to force him to abdicate?"
"Hmph, stop your nonsense. I don't have time for you. If you're smart, quickly open the gate of the Yangxin Palace and let me take a look. I suspect that the emperor has been murdered by you and others."
"Mutilated? Prince Xi, you really flatter me. I am the number one female physician appointed by the Emperor as the best in the Daning Kingdom. My hands can only save lives, not harm them. But you, when you said that the Emperor was murdered, didn't show any sadness at all. So, do you hope that the Emperor is well, or that he has already been murdered?"
"you……"
Leng Xi stared at her, anger flashing in his eyes.
He waved his arms and said to the people behind him:
"Princess Yu has imprisoned the Emperor in the Yangxin Palace for days under the pretext of treating his illness, and has not allowed anyone to see him. There must be something fishy going on. Someone, rush in, rescue the Emperor, and tie up this woman."
"Let's see who dares to move."
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi stood in front of Luo Lan with swords in hand. "Prince Xi, Prince Yu just left and you're here to force him to abdicate. You're so bold."
"Don't spit blood at me. I'm here to save the Emperor. Now the Emperor's life or death is uncertain. If you don't let me see the Emperor today, even if I have to break in, I will break in."
At this moment, the gate of the Yangxin Palace opened from the inside. As the emperor walked out, he asked quietly:
"Who wants to see me?"
Seeing that the emperor really walked out of the door intact, Leng Xi was stunned and stood there. Liu Xi followed behind the emperor and shouted angrily to the people outside:
"The Emperor is here, why don't you kneel down?"
Hearing this, everyone knelt down. Leng Xi paused for a moment, then quickly knelt down, clasping his hands together and saying:
"Father, I have tried to see you several times, but Princess Yu refused. I thought you were under their control, so I brought people to rescue you. Now that I see you are in good health, I can finally rest assured."
The emperor glanced at Leng Xi, frowned, held his forehead with one hand, and waved his hand weakly.
"Since you see I'm alright, then go back. It's disgraceful to mobilize such a large army."
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be ignoring him, Leng Xi's heart suddenly shook. His premonition was right. The emperor hadn't come to ask him for medicine for three days. It seemed that his drug addiction was really cured by this woman Shui Luolan?
But now that we're here, how can we go back so easily?
