Liu Xi came to tell Leng Yu to enter the palace and it was sent to Prince Yu's mansion very quickly. Leng Yu and Luo Lan guessed that Liu Xi must have something urgent, otherwise he would not have come to announce him to enter the palace early in the morning.

Leng Yu didn't dare to delay, quickly changed into formal clothes, and went straight to the palace.

Liu Xi has been waiting at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, seeing Leng Yu approaching, he hurriedly greeted her.

"Prince Yu, the emperor has contracted a cold, and it will recover in about seven days. In these seven days, I trouble you to handle the memorials and court affairs for the emperor as before."

"I disagree……"

Before Leng Yu could respond, a dissenting voice appeared out of thin air. Leng Yu and Liu Xi both turned their heads and saw Leng Xi striding forward with black lines on his face. Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first.

When seeing him, Liu Xi frowned, while Leng Yu looked calm.

When he came close, Liu Xi bowed and asked politely:

"Why does Prince Xi disagree? The last time the emperor fell ill, it was Prince Yu who handled state affairs on his behalf. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Last time he was still the crown prince, but now he has been deposed because of a big mistake, how can he take on this important task? I want to know, is this the emperor's idea or yours, Eunuch Liu?"

Liu Xi saw that he was talking about this point, he simply raised his eyebrows, and replied calmly:

"The old slave doesn't have such great power, it was ordered by the emperor, and the old slave just passed on the message."

"Impossible, Father will not instruct him, I will go to see Father and ask about this matter."

After saying that, he was about to walk towards the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Liu Xi took two quick steps, stopped in front of him, and said sharply with a serious face:

"Prince Xi, the emperor is seriously ill and needs to recuperate and recuperate. This old slave has ordered the Ministry of Rites to issue a notice to all princes and ministers. It is not right for you to go in and see the emperor now. Please go back."

Seeing Liu Xi deliberately blocking him, Leng Xi's face darkened instantly. He looked at Liu Xi and questioned him word by word:

"Yesterday, when I came here, Father was still fine. Why did he suddenly become seriously ill today? I suspect that you are lying...

"If Lord Xi doesn't believe it, just go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the Imperial Physician Wang to find out. He just came here this morning and prescribed soothing medicine for the emperor. He can confirm that the emperor is indeed ill."

"Even so, the state affairs of the imperial court should not be handed over to Prince Yu. This is too hasty."

Hasty?

Hearing these two words, Leng Yu's handsome eyes, who had been standing silently all this time, instantly turned cold. He raised his eyebrows and said with a sneer:

"What does fifth brother mean by this? Is it reckless to entrust state affairs to me? Then who is not reckless? You?"

Lengxi turned her face away guiltily, and hummed softly,

"I don't dare to take on this important task. During the period when the father is seriously ill, who will handle the state affairs should be decided by the ministers, or there is an imperial edict from the father, not just a random word from Eunuch Liu."

Seeing that Lengxi was doubting himself, Liu Xi didn't want to explain too much, but directly said coldly:

"The emperor's oral order was given to the old slave to convey. If Lord Xi feels that there is something inappropriate, please ask the emperor again in seven days."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Leng Yu,

"Prince Yu, let's not waste time here. Please come to the imperial study. It is estimated that all the people who will come to deliver the memorial will arrive in a while."

Seeing that Liu Xi and Leng Yu were ignoring him, Leng Xi was instantly so angry that the veins on his face twitched violently. He took big strides and headed towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation without hesitation. Leng Yu was about to stop him when Liu Xi stopped him. He shook his head, signaling him not to act rashly.

Before Lengxi could reach the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, several young eunuchs bowed and stopped him,

"Lord Xi, the emperor is not feeling well and has already fallen asleep, so it is inconvenient to see guests."

"Go away."

Lengxi's voice became sharper, and those little eunuchs still stood there without moving.

Seeing this, Lengxi raised his slap, and slapped a young eunuch in the face, but before his slap fell, his hand was tightly clamped.

At the same time as the soreness hit, he looked up in astonishment, and saw Liu Xi looking at him calmly, put his hand down from mid-air, bowed unhurriedly and said:

"Lord Xi, please go back!"

Liu Xi's words were concise and neat, but Leng Xi was speechless.

He stared at Liu Xi in a daze, with a surprised and stern look in his eyes.

He gritted his teeth, swung his sleeves angrily, turned around, and strode away.

This Liu Xi, as expected in the rumors, has advanced martial arts. Just now he just lightly squeezed his wrist, and he felt like his bones were about to be broken. That's why he didn't dare to continue to push forward the reason.

It seems that if you want to sit on the throne smoothly, you must not only guard against Leng Yu and Liu Dechang, but also Liu Xi.

But what method should be used to make this Liu Xi work for him?

Thinking of this, he turned around and went straight to Liyuan.

Speaking of which, he hasn't been to Liyuan for about a few days. To be more precise, he hasn't been to Liyuan since the concubine's conferment ceremony was cancelled. Being so impatient, wanting to cause trouble before the conferment ceremony, people caught the handle, and the concubine ceremony was canceled abruptly.

When he came to Liyuan, Concubine Li was sitting in the main hall drinking tea, he hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted:

"Mother, how are you doing recently?"

Concubine Li didn't look at him at all, she casually picked up the lid of the cup, flicked the tea foam floating on the tea, and snorted coldly,

"My concubine told you several times that you wouldn't come, so I almost went to invite you in person. Why is Lord Xi free to come to Liyuan today?"

Judging from Li Fei's tone, she must be angry, Lengxi hurriedly bowed her body, and apologized:

"I'm ashamed, I have a lot of things on hand recently, so I don't have time to come to Liyuan to greet you. Don't blame Erchen."

"If you are polite, don't say it. I know your temper better than anyone else. Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Seeing that Concubine Li had guessed what he was thinking, Lengxi hurriedly shook her head in denial,

"It's nothing, Erchen just went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and had a closed door. I thought I haven't seen my concubine mother for a few days, so I came here to see you."

"Isn't the emperor sick? What else are you going to do? It's no wonder you don't get rejected."

"This is not what I care about. What I care about is that my father actually handed over the handling of state affairs to Leng Yu again. This is not a good phenomenon. I am a little worried."

Concubine Li picked up the teacup on the table and turned it around in her hand, her eyes sharp and she hummed softly,

"Is this all the fault of that Liu Xi?"

"How does the concubine know?"

Concubine Li got up, and walked slowly in the hall for a few steps. When she stood still, she half-closed her eyes and continued:

"The emperor has a lot of trust in him. Now that he is suddenly seriously ill, he naturally has no intention of arranging for someone to handle state affairs. This allows that Liu Xi to take advantage of the vacancy. Moreover, he ordered someone to pass on Leng Yu early in the morning. My concubine has already This was the expected outcome.”

Concubine Li's words made Leng Xi's face pale instantly. Thinking of Liu Xi, he asked a little puzzled:

"Mother and concubine, do you know the origin of this Liu Xi? I have learned from him when I was fighting with him just now. His internal strength is extremely deep, and his skill is by no means inferior to Liu Dechang. But since he has such a high level of skill, why is he willing to be a king by his father's side?" What about the eunuch? How can we control him?"

"Control him? Hahaha..."
