Su Lingyue scooped a spoonful of yam millet porridge into her mouth, still thinking about what happened this morning.

In fact, the porridge in her bowl was almost empty, but she was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice it.

Seeing her absent-minded look, Xiao Yu sighed lightly.

His little princess is quite persistent.

"Yue'er, are you still thinking about what happened just now?"

After hearing what Xiao Yu said, Su Lingyue came back to her senses. She looked at Xiao Yu and nodded repeatedly, "Well, I can't figure it out."

Looking at Su Lingyue's expectant eyes, Xiao Yu put down the bowl and spoon in his hands and simply said, "His handkerchief."

"Handkerchief?"

Su Lingyue then remembered that Li Lang mentioned that he wiped Li Jue's face with a handkerchief before leaving yesterday evening.

"The medicine that caused the Fourth Prince to bleed to death is hidden in the handkerchief?"

"Yes, he took the opportunity to drug me under the pretext of wiping my sweat."

In this way, Su Lingyue finally understood.

but……

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu suspiciously. Xiao Yu turned his head to look back at her, with a faint smile in his inky eyes.

This smile is calm and indifferent, as if having seen through everything.

Of course, this half-smile on the usually stern face is very pleasing to the eye.

If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to withstand it, but she was Xiao Yu's bedmate and had already developed a certain level of resistance.

Su Lingyue looked into Xiao Yu's eyes and asked, "Your Highness should have known this a long time ago! But he still let him do this, is there any plan?"

Xiao Yu nodded, "I know. I'm just waiting for him to take action. I do have a plan."

"What plan? Can I know?" Su Lingyue blinked her clear eyes.

Looking at Su Lingyue's gently blinking eyes, they were filled with curiosity and a desire to know.

Although he couldn't predict what would happen next, for the sake of his princess's good meal, he had to tell her.

Xiao Yu said gently: "Have breakfast first, and I'll tell you when I get back to the room."

After saying that, he picked up the empty bowl in front of Su Lingyue, served her a small bowl of yam and millet porridge, and added some side dishes.

Then, Xiao Yu also served himself a bowl.

Take a spoonful and put it into your mouth. It is sweet and soft, and the warmth spreads from your stomach to your whole body.

Looking at Su Lingyue's satisfied expression, Xiao Yu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He felt in his heart that the more he looked at his princess, the more he liked her.

After they had breakfast, they sat for a while and then returned to their room.

Xiao Yu sleeps two hours longer every day than before. If he doesn't get enough sleep, he will feel very tired and even fall ill.

So I usually sleep until I wake up naturally.

I got up very early today because of something that happened in the morning, and I need to make up for the lost sleep.

After they washed up again, Su Lingyue accompanied Xiao Yu to take a nap.

Su Lingyue snuggled into Xiao Yu's arms, and his strong arms held her in his arms, his thighs still firmly locking her.

As soon as she lay down, Su Lingyue couldn't wait to say, "The prince said that you must tell me your plan."

Xiao Yu responded in a low voice, thought for a moment, and then said, "Before Li Lang came to the palace, I received news that other princes would enter the palace. I was afraid that they would do something bad, so I asked Li Mao about his brothers in advance."

Li Mao was the eldest son, but the Western Liang Emperor Li Zongyuan was less than fifty years old. He felt that he was still young and did not want to discuss the succession too early, so he delayed appointing a crown prince.

Although he was not named a crown prince, it was an unspoken fact among the people of Xiliang that Li Mao was the crown prince, but the other princes did not think so.

The second prince Li Yan was like this, always opposing Li Mao in Xiliang.

In order to wait safely for the election of successor, Li Mao had to win over his brothers and sisters.

Unfortunately, the third brother Li Lang was obsessed with business and had no interest in state affairs, so Li Mao had no choice but to let him go.

Later, Li Mao won over Li Jue.

Li Jue received a lot of care from Li Mao since he was a child. He was willing to help him and was also very outstanding.

Su Lingyue recalled the several times she had seen Li Lang. This man's emotions were hard to guess.

Outwardly, he looked like a very majestic prince, but when interacting with others, he behaved very modestly and spoke tactfully, like a good businessman.

I really didn't expect that he also wanted to compete for the throne.

But Su Lingyue was a little puzzled, "Is this why Li Lang wants to kill Li Jue? He is ranked third, so it is not his turn!"

Xiao Yu closed his eyes, gently stroked Su Lingyue's back, and said softly: "Just kill them one by one. After killing the ones in front, it will naturally be his turn."

Xiao Yu's tone was very calm, but it made Su Lingyue feel a chill in her heart.

She knew how bloody the road to succession was, but what she heard and saw with her own eyes was another matter.

The current emperor was not originally the crown prince, but the emperor's fifth son. Because his aunt liked him and he had ambition and ability, he became the emperor with the mediation of Su Heng from the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion.

The emperor's brothers were some beheaded, and even more were exiled, only then could he become the emperor.

It seems that the path to the throne for emperors of every dynasty is similar, full of danger and killing.

The fight for succession is truly cruel, and even blood ties cannot stop it.

Su Lingyue frowned and asked, "So the prince wants them to leave the house and let father kill him? That shouldn't be the case! In this way, the relationship between Daning and Xiliang will become even more precarious."

Xiao Yu explained in a gentle voice: "No. They won't die if they go out, but I want to take this opportunity to let them go out and see if Li Lang is doing this for me or for the second prince Li Yan. Is he still in contact with other people in Daning?"

Having said that, Su Lingyue roughly understood Xiao Yu's thoughts.

After all, he was doing it for the century-old foundation of Daning and the people of Dawn.

Now that he is so ill, he still has to worry about the country and people of Daning.

Su Lingyue couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

The emperor is not competent at all. He should be the one worrying the most, but he lets Xiao Yu, a patient, take care of him. The key point is that Xiao Yu is like this because of the emperor.

But he also felt that there was something to be thankful for, "Fortunately, when the emperor ascended the throne, the prince was young and was not involved."

Xiao Yu paused while stroking her back, and said softly, "Now I'm involved, and it's also implicated you."

Su Lingyue didn't care. "It's not you who caused this. I was also involved in the conspiracy. I came to the palace and got your protection. I am very grateful to you from the bottom of my heart."

Xiao Yu held Su Lingyue's hand tightly, "Me too."

Sensing Xiao Yu's sleepiness, Su Lingyue leaned against Xiao Yu's chest and asked the last question softly, "Why do you want me to accompany you today? It's okay for Your Majesty to sleep alone!"

Xiao Yu tightened his arms and said softly, "Yes, but I'll sleep better with Yue'er."

The corners of Su Lingyue's mouth rose unconsciously.

She felt that Xiao Yu was becoming more and more fluent in his love words.

But she also slept very soundly in Xiao Yu's arms.

"Go to sleep, my lord! I'll accompany you."

"it is good."

Su Lingyue arched her head, found a comfortable position and closed her eyes.

Holding the soft and warm body in his arms, Xiao Yu's gloom gradually faded away and he fell into a deep sleep.
