Chapter 513: Two-Face
For this father-in-law Liu, Leng Xi is still a little jealous, he is not only a eunuch, he is also the chief eunuch in the palace, almost all the big and small affairs of the harem have to go through his hands, the emperor's trust in him is no less than his son, and it is said that he also has peerless martial arts, probably because he has never fought with anyone for so many years, so no one knows how high his martial arts are, and no one in the entire palace has dared to have a head-on conflict with him so far.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Leng Xi hurriedly stuffed the blank holy decree into his cuffs, and then stepped forward to help the emperor with pretending to be worried, and kept muttering,
"Father, why are you so careless? Come, give you medicine ......"
After saying this sentence in a loud voice, he spread out his palm again, revealing the small pill, and then lowered his voice and threatened:
"Father, just now the retainer didn't say anything and did nothing, right?"
"Yes, yes, give me medicine......"
At this time, the emperor was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, no matter what Leng Xi said, he would agree.
Leng Xi felt that Liu Xi had come closer, he hurriedly stuffed the small pill into the emperor's mouth, and then said softly:
"Father, are you feeling better?"
When he saw Leng Xi, Liu Xi's brows were instantly knotted together, he quickly ran to the emperor, held the emperor's other arm, and asked with concern as he walked to the bedside:
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
The emperor, who had just taken the medicine, breathed a long sigh of relief, and after Liu Xi and Leng Xi helped him to the bed, he waved his hand weakly,
"I'm fine, Liu Xi, where have you been? I've been shouting at you for a long time, why did you come? ”
How he wished that he would appear when he first called Liu Xi, so the scene just now wouldn't have happened?
Liu Xi bowed apologetically and replied:
"The old slave was greedy at night, ate too many leek stuffed dumplings, and had a bit of a stomach upset, so he went to the thatched house to squat in the pit, who would have thought that you would wake up after such a while?"
At this time, the emperor's spirit eased a little because he had just taken the small pill, and he glanced at Leng Xi, with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.
The embarrassment when he was desperate to get the small pill in Leng Xi's hand just now made him regret it, and he also realized that his dignity was trampled on the ground by himself at that moment.
And all of this was deliberate by Leng Xi.
He didn't want to demolish Leng Xi, this is not a glorious thing, speaking out, where does he, the emperor, still have the face to meet people?
Thinking of this, he waved his hand at Liu Xi and Leng Xi,
"Stand down, I'm tired......"
After saying this, he turned his body to the bed, sighed secretly, and closed his unwilling eyes.
Leng Xi looked at the emperor's back, his teeth itched with anger, and his fists hidden in his cuffs were clenched tightly.
It's really hateful that this Liu Xi actually spoiled his own good deeds.
"Lord Xi, please!"
Liu Xi saw that Leng Xi was still standing there, and carefully reminded:
"The emperor has already fallen asleep, did you send the little pill you sent?"
Leng Xi glanced at Liu Xi, took out a paper bag from his arms, and handed it to Liu Xi with a sharp look.
"Father-in-law Liu, I have a lot of things on hand recently, and the process of making small pills is more cumbersome, so there are only a dozen of these small pills, so you should be more frugal."
With that, he put the bag containing the small pill heavily in Liu Xi's hand, turned around, left with his hands behind his back, and left without looking back.
It was really annoying to him that he had not done what he wanted to do so late.
But he won't give up so easily, this throne, he is bound to win.
Seeing Leng Xi leaving, Gonggong Liu looked at the small pill in his hand, then looked at the emperor lying on the bed, sighed secretly, and was just about to turn around and leave, when the emperor suddenly muttered:
"Liu Xi, don't leave my side in the future."
The emperor's words are very similar to a child who has just been wronged.
Liu Xi turned back in astonishment, slowly approached the imperial couch, and asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty, you haven't slept yet? What just happened? ”
After the emperor was silent for a while, he turned his body and lay flat, looking at the top of the bed with a pair of cloudy eyes, and sighed long, as if telling an old story, and muttered hoarsely,
"Since I was born, my mother has arranged everything for me, she has fought for me, to grab, and used all means to let me sit on the country of Da Ning, after the death of my mother and concubine, I thought that I could finally stand alone, but in the end, I couldn't even manage my own sons, and married my daughter to a foreign country, you say, am I the most useless emperor in the world?"
"Your Majesty, how could you have such an idea? You married the two princesses far away to a foreign country, for the stability of the Daning Kingdom, among your sons, there are both the God of War general like Yu Wangye, and the courtiers like Xi Wangye, although Ming Wangye has a dissolute personality, it is also because he is still young, and when you entrust him with important responsibilities in the future, he will not let you down. ”
"Are you comforting me?"
"The old slave doesn't dare, everything the old slave said is true......"
"Huh! What you said may also have some truth, I am old, I am confused, what elixir of life, it is just a disguise, my life is not long, I should give up the throne, but who should be allowed to sit? I don't know! ”
After the scene just now, the emperor suddenly had an epiphany, but he was also confused.
"Your Majesty, don't say that, you're only in your early fifties, you're still young, don't you dare to have such an idea."
"Alas......"
Liu Xi's words of comfort made the emperor sigh long, this voice seems to be long and long, if outsiders listen to it, they will know that there must be a lot of helplessness hidden in it.
At this time, he knew better than anyone else that that little pill was just a tool for his son to control himself, in fact, he should have thought that people were mortal in the flesh, how could they be immortal? It was just an excuse for himself to deceive himself, but he didn't realize it until now, and he was afraid that it was too late.
He is the emperor of Daning Kingdom, and over the years, he has repeatedly hurt Leng Yu too deeply, which has made the people complain.
If he mentions to others that he was forced into the palace by Leng Xi, the world will definitely laugh at him for being a useless emperor, and he almost knelt down and begged his son for a so-called small pill.
Of the four sons, one died, one wasted, and the other two, one was wounded by him, and one came to hurt him.
What did he do in his last life, and God wants to punish him like this?
This night, the emperor woke up three times, Liu Xi thought about it for a long time, or was ruthless, and fed the emperor the small pill that Luo Lan gave him, after the emperor ate it, he could also sleep peacefully for a while, but the effect of the medicine volatilized very quickly, and he would wake up again after a while, so he didn't dare to leave the emperor's side for half a step.
