Chapter 320: The depressed Lord Xi

Leng Xi took a few steps forward with some embarrassment, looked into the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then said:

"I have something to do, I went out of the door, how is my father?"

Without waiting for Leng Yu to answer, Liu Xi replied excitedly:

"The emperor has been much better these days, today is the sixth day that Princess Yu has treated the emperor, and after tomorrow, the emperor will be able to go to the court to manage the government normally."

Hearing this, Leng Xi was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a bright smile:

"Isn't the sister-in-law of the Fourth Emperor a great merit, and her father will definitely reward her well, can I go in and see the emperor?"

"Not yet, your fourth sister-in-law is giving medicine to her father, see you tomorrow."

Leng Xi nodded a little disappointedly, "Okay then!" Fourth brother, I have something to say to you, do you have time? ”

Leng Yu nodded without hesitation,

"Okay, Xiao Lingzi, you guys are guarding here, and I'll accompany Lord Xi to go around the Imperial Garden."

Leaving these words, he and Leng Xi walked side by side towards the Imperial Garden.

The two brothers didn't say anything all the way, and it wasn't until they entered the Imperial Garden that Leng Xi couldn't help but ask:

"Fourth brother, why did you say that my father was so cruel to my uncle back then? If you want to send him to a remote place, why is he not allowed to return to Beijing for 20 years? ”

Leng Yu stood by the lake, looked at the lake water of Qing Lingling, and sighed:

"Maybe my father thinks that Uncle Huang may pose a threat to his throne?"

"But they used to play together a lot when they were young, and their relationship should be very good, right? Why can't he tolerate his brother after he became the emperor? ”

Leng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and replied sadly:

"Maybe I can't help myself, maybe after sitting in that position, my heart will change!"

Leng Yu's words made Leng Xi shiver directly, it seems that what the concubine said is right, once a person ascends to the supreme position, he will begin to fear that he will lose this position, so he will think about getting rid of all those who threaten his position, this is really a terrible cycle.

After being silent for a long time, Leng Xi asked calmly:

"Father asked you to help him manage the government, does he have the heart to pass on the throne to you?"

"Maybe! But now that his father is in good health, this throne is still his. ”

Leng Xi sighed secretly and muttered:

"It seems that the good days of the eldest brother are numbered."

When it comes to Leng Yun, Leng Xi is a little sad, when he has a reserve force, he is the prince who is respected by thousands of people, but now that the reserve force is weakened, he has become a lonely man who no one cares about.

"He deserves it."

Leng Yu can forgive everyone, but he won't forgive Leng Yun, the reason why he didn't kill him directly is to let him live and see that he is stronger than him, and one day in the future, he will definitely abolish his legs, so that he can also experience the feeling that life is worse than death.

Leng Xi listened to Leng Yu's almost roaring words, and suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, perhaps, he should go and see Leng Yun, otherwise, he might not be able to see it one day.

Thinking of this, he smiled at Leng Yu and said:

"Fourth brother, I'll go first."

Leng Yu didn't do much to keep it, "Okay, I guess Lan Er is about to come out this time, and I will also go back to the Heart Cultivation Palace." ”

The two of them spoke, and walked side by side towards the outside of the Imperial Garden.

When the two were about to break up, Leng Xi looked at Leng Yu and suddenly asked:

"Fourth brother, Longwu Villa has been attacked, do you know about this?"

Leng Xi's unprovoked words made Leng Yu stunned for a moment, and then he asked with some curiosity:

"How do you know? Have you gone to Longwu Villa? ”

Leng Xi pursed his lips and nodded, "Well, the assassin went to the capital." ”

Capital?

Leng Yu pondered for a while when he heard this, and then frowned and said:

"Longwu Villa has no grudges with the people in the capital, who will attack them?"

Leng Xi's dark eyes flickered a few times, and then he hugged his fists and said:

"Fourth brother, I'll go first, and there will be a period later."

With these words, he strode away.

He just wanted to see from Leng Yu's eyes whether this matter had anything to do with him, but Leng Yu didn't look like he was pretending, maybe this matter really had nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, his eyebrows tightened together, changed the route out of the palace, turned his head, and walked in the other direction.

At this time, Wang Meng was sitting in the room to bandage his wound, although he couldn't take care of the location of the wound, but in order not to attract the attention of others, he could only come by himself.

Wang Meng, who was summoned into the palace by Concubine Li three years ago, is the steward eunuch of Liyuan, and he has a separate living room.

But Leng Xi always felt that this Wang Meng was a little different, his voice was not like a eunuch, he didn't often serve in Liyuan, nor did he often walk around the palace, or rather, he didn't live in the palace at all, he only appeared in Liyuan occasionally.

Therefore, when Long Changyun said that those assassins were from the capital, the first person he suspected was Wang Meng.

He came to the door of Wang Meng's room and took a deep breath, he was going to make a surprise attack, so as to catch him off guard.

Thinking of this, he directly pushed open the door, Wang Meng, who had already noticed that someone was coming, had already dressed at this time, and when he saw him coming in, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted.

"Lord Xi, why do you have time to come here as a minion?"

Leng Xi glanced at him, and pretended to be unintentional and said:

"It's okay, come and walk around."

As he spoke, he sat down at the table in his room, his eyes looking around with alarm.

Wang Meng's expression was a little nervous, and in order to divert Leng Xi's attention, he hurriedly poured a glass of water for him, and said respectfully:

"Lord Xi, please drink tea."

After Leng Xi nodded, he picked up the teacup and looked around with his spare eyes while sipping tea.

Suddenly, a bloody bandage next to the bed caught his eye, the one that only showed a head, but he could see that it was soaked in blood.

Leng Xi's eyes tightened, and he hurriedly moved his gaze, then put down the teacup in his hand, got up and looked at Wang Meng, slowly moved in front of him, raised his hand and punched his injured shoulder, Wang Meng almost fell, but he still steadied his expression and stood still.

"Wang Meng, have you been out lately?"

"Nope."

Wang Meng's face did not have a trace of waves, and he bowed calmly and replied:

"The slave has been in Liyuan for the past few days, and he hasn't gone out."

Leng Xi squinted at him slightly, and suddenly took advantage of his inattention, rushed to the side of the bed with an arrow step, lifted the curtain under the bed, pulled out the bloody bandage, and asked with a soft snort:

"What is this?"

Wang Meng's expression was a little flustered for a moment, but he quickly calmed down, "The slave accidentally bumped his leg while walking, and there was some blood, it's okay, thank you for your concern." ”

Leng Xi threw the bloody bandage on the ground and walked towards him step by step, Wang Meng stood in place with his head bowed, without saying a word.

Leng Xi suddenly stood in front of him and raised his hand again on his injured shoulder, Wang Meng wanted to dodge, but Leng Xi directly tore the clothes on his shoulders with one force, and the clothes inside were already soaked with blood.

Leng Xi raised his voice and roared loudly,

"What's going on?"

Wang hurriedly retreated again and again, "Lord Xi, this ...... I'm ......."

"You say, did my mother ask you to kill Long Xiaomin? Isn't it? ”

"I don't know what Lord Xi is talking about."

Leng Xi snorted lightly with his nose, stepped forward slowly, and continued to ask,

"Wang Meng, I have long suspected that you did it, do you dare not admit it now? Let's go, go to my mother's concubine. ”

Hearing this, Wang Meng suddenly knelt on the ground, "Lord Xi spares his life, if Li Niangniang knows about this matter, he will definitely take my life." ”

Leng Xi bent down, looked at him condescendingly, and asked sharply,

"Then you can tell the truth, did my mother ask you to kill Long Xiaomin? Don't worry, I won't let you die. ”
