Chapter 510 The loyal eunuch
Prince Yu's Mansion
The evening breeze was sultry and not dry, and the palace of Prince Yu was extremely quiet late at night.
At the family dinner tonight, Leng Yu drank a glass of wine with Liu Dechang. Although he was not drunk, he was in a bad mood.
After returning to the room, he asked Ah Gang to bring a pot of tea. After filling it up, he was about to raise the cup and drink it when he was stopped by Luo Lan.
"Ms. sir, tea is a refreshing thing. If you drink tea before going to bed, you don't want to sleep at night?"
Leng Yu looked indifferent and sighed, hesitating to speak.
"It's a long night and I'm not sleepy at all. It doesn't matter if I sleep a little later. Why don't you sit down and have a drink with me, madam."
Luo Lan took the teacup in his hand and put it on the table, sat across from him and looked at him, asking with some surprise:
"What's wrong with my husband today? He seems to have something on his mind?"
Leng Yu still stubbornly picked up the teacup that Luo Lan had just snatched away, held it to his mouth and took a sip, and then sighed:
"Madam, after today's events, I suddenly feel that being an emperor is very tiring. Not only do you have to deal with national affairs and harem chores, but you also have to be careful of being plotted by people around you. Did you see the state of my father when he first arrived at the Lotus Pavilion? He was mentally depressed.
, his condition was very bad, but after taking the small pills given by Liu Xi, he suddenly became energetic. I think you are right. This kind of small pills will make him mentally dependent and will harm him sooner or later.
, but who dares to imagine that this little pill was actually from the hands of his pillowcase and his own son? This is really a desolate and tragic thing!"
Seeing that Leng Yu was worried about this matter, she put her hands on the table, rested her chin on her hands, stared at him with smart and crystal eyes, and sighed helplessly,
"But even if we know the truth, we can't expose it face to face. The emperor is already obsessed with that little pill. How can he believe what we say? Having said that, even if he believes it, we can't make him quit.
Taking away this small pill, given his current physical condition, I'm afraid it will kill him."
"Then we can only sit here?"
Leng Yu picked up the tea cup again and took a sip of tea, with a resentful look in his eyes.
Luo Lan simply snatched the water glass from his hand, poured another glass of water, drank it in two gulps, and murmured,
"Otherwise, what else can we do? What we have to do now is to work hard to hoard our own strength and guard against Leng Xi's manipulation behind his back. I am now worried that once one day, the emperor stops using this little pill, he will lose everything.
With your ability to resist, when the Daning Kingdom is in turmoil, the war between your brothers will be about to break out."
"Although I don't want to turn against my brothers, what Lengxi has done in recent years is really infuriating. For my children, for you, and for the people of Daning, I will take on this war.
Already."
When he said this, there was a look of determination in his eyes, and his fists on the table were clenched even more tightly.
The room became quiet for a while, Luo Lan felt mixed emotions, and Leng Yu felt filled with emotions.
"Your Majesty, someone is coming from the palace."
A Gang's call broke the tranquility here. Leng Yu immediately frowned, stood up, and strode to open the door.
The moment the door opened, Liu Xi came forward with a sad face.
"Prince Yu, I am deeply sorry for my late night visit and disturbing your and Princess Yu's dreams. However, it is inconvenient for me to leave the palace during the day. I also ask Prince Yu and Princess Yu not to blame me for being abrupt."
Leng Yu frowned and looked at him, and asked in confusion:
"Eunuch Liu is here so late. Is there something urgent?"
Liu Xi glanced at A Gang beside him, bowed to Leng Yu and said:
"Your Majesty, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan and made an invitation gesture to him, "Eunuch Liu, please come inside."
After Liu Xi nodded, he followed Leng Yu into the house.
Luo Lan poured a cup of tea for Liu Xi and pushed it in front of him.
"Eunuch Liu, please have tea."
"How can I have the time to drink tea? I came here today to beg you two to save the emperor."
When he said this, Liu Xi suddenly slid down from his chair, knelt on his knees, and looked at Leng Yu and Luo Lan with a sad expression on his face.
His move made Leng Yu's heart skip a beat. No matter what, the emperor was also his father. When he heard that something was wrong with him, his heart was still moved.
He hurriedly stepped forward and helped Liu Xi up.
"Eunuch Liu, just say what you have to say, there is no need to do anything big like this."
Eunuch Liu has followed the emperor for many years and has always done his duty. The emperor also trusts him very much. His status in the palace is quite high, so he never has to salute in front of the princes or ministers. But today he suddenly came to visit in the middle of the night.
, and still gave such a great gift, which made Leng Yu worried that something had happened to the emperor.
Liu Xi was supported by Leng Yu and sat back on the chair. Luo Lan also asked worriedly:
"Eunuch Liu, you might as well tell me what happened."
Liu Xi sighed heavily and said in a low voice:
"You two also know that the emperor's health has been getting worse and worse recently. He used to take two small pills sent by Prince Xi every day, but now he takes five or six pills every day. By the time he went to bed today, he had already taken seven pills.
The old slave is worried that this so-called elixir will not only make people immortal, but will also harm people. The old slave knows that Princess Yu has great medical skills, so the old slave wants to ask Princess Yu to take a look at the medicine in this little pill.
, what kind of drug does it contain that can make people addicted and confuse people to the point of being entranced?"
Luo Lan was stunned for a moment by Liu Xi's words. She raised her head and glanced at Leng Yu, her brows knitting together instantly.
She didn't expect that the elderly eunuch in front of her would guess that there were unusual medicinal ingredients in this small pill.
After listening to Liu Xi's words, Leng Yu sighed with emotion,
"Eunuch Liu, I know that you are loyal to my father, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of checking the medicinal properties of this little pill. To be honest with you, my wife and I also discovered that there is something wrong with this little pill, but now we have
There is no other way. My father has indeed been addicted to this little pill for a long time. If he doesn't take it for a day, his whole body will feel as uncomfortable as if there are millions of ants biting him. But if he keeps taking it, the final result will be
, it is in this state of excitement that this little pill can make you end up depressed..."
Leng Yu's words made Liu Xi's face turn livid instantly. He trembled, slipped down from the chair again, and begged Leng Yu:
"Prince Yu, I beg you, please save the emperor. He is only in his early fifties and should not have died so early. Besides... Moreover, if the emperor really dies one day, then there will definitely be a turmoil in the Daning Kingdom.
