Leng Xi went back to the capital the next morning. It took five days to go back and forth. During these five days, Concubine Li was crazy and sent people to find him everywhere. She sent people to assassinate Long Xiaomin.

, arrived at the capital one step ahead of Lengxi.

He came to Concubine Li in the clothes of an eunuch, and bowed with his fists:

"Empress, the slave is guilty, the mission failed..."

"waste."

Concubine Li suddenly became furious, "Wang Meng, you can't do this little thing well, how can you achieve great things in the future?"

"The princess is angry. When we are about to succeed, Prince Xi arrived. In order to avoid being discovered by Prince Xi, we were afraid that he would hurt him by mistake, so we decided to retreat temporarily."

"Xi'er went to Quancheng?"

Concubine Li looked at Wang Meng with an incredible look, "Do you see clearly? Is it Xi'er?"

Wang Meng clasped his fists with his hands and bowed, "It's true that it's Prince Xi. He even blocked an arrow for Long Xiaomin, otherwise we would succeed."

"He blocked the arrows for Long Xiaomin? Then was he injured?"

"That's not..."

Concubine Li then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, I said why can't I find him in a few days? It turns out that she has gone to Quancheng."

At this point, her eyes flashed a few times and continued:

"Has Xier returned? Did he find out it was you?"

Wang Meng shook his head vigorously, "We were all covered in faces at that time, and Prince Xi did not recognize me. After we came out of Longwu Villa, we did not dare to stay for a long time, but he didn't seem to come back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Madam Lu walked in quickly, "Empress, Prince Xi is here."

Hearing this, Concubine Li's eyebrows and eyes condensed and said in a cold voice:

"Let him in."

Then she said to Wang Meng:

"You go down first, I will tell you how to do it afterwards."

After Wang Meng nodded and saluted, he turned around and walked towards the door.

When he met Leng Xi head-on, he bowed and bowed, "Prince Xi..."

Leng Xi didn't bother to look at him more, but he stopped him when he raised his foot and was about to leave.

"Wang Meng?"

Wang Meng hurriedly stood still, lowered his head and replied:

"Is there anything wrong with Prince Xi?"

Leng Xi turned around and walked slowly to him, frowned and looked at him, suddenly raised his hand and patted his right shoulder. This unexpected behavior scared Wang Meng. He gritted his teeth and thrust his mouth.

Li whispered:

"What is the prince doing?"

Leng Xi looked at him, then nodded, "It's okay, go down."

With Leng Xi's permission, Wang Meng walked out the door as if he was about to be amnesty. Leng Xi looked at his back and his eyes narrowed into a slit.

Although he felt that the man in black in Longwu Villa was somewhat similar to Wang Meng, his shoulders were not injured, so he should be able to queue up for him.

But what he didn't know was that Wang Meng walked out of Liyuan with gritted teeth. The wound on his body was so painful that it hurt heartbreakingly under Leng Xi's slap.

Wang Meng knew that Leng Xi was deliberately testing him, so he could only grit his teeth and hold it out until he left Liyuan's door, and he covered his shoulders and left quickly.

Leng Xi came to Concubine Li, and before she could speak, Concubine Li yelled at him:

"Kneel down!"

Although Leng Xi was not sure, she still knelt down in front of Concubine Li and asked with her fists:

"Mother, what's wrong with my son?"

Concubine Li stood up from the soft couch, walked slowly to him, and asked with two black eyebrows.

"Xi'er, you really disappointed your mother. I'll ask you to spend more time with your father while he is seriously ill. You'll be fine. You ran away without a trace. Where have you been?"

Leng Xi hesitated for a moment and replied with her neck straight:

"I'm going to find Long Xiaomin."

He specifically put the words Long Xiaomin more seriously, and he wanted to see his mother's reaction.

Sure enough, when Concubine Li saw that he said the woman's name without any hesitation, she immediately pointed at him and shouted:

"Long Xiaomin, Long Xiaomin, does she have magic? She hooked your soul away? Do you know that now is a very critical time. You haven't seen Leng Yu and Liu Luolan keeping all day long

Are you staying in the Heart Palace? They just want to take this opportunity to win the emperor's trust. If you don't work hard now, what chance do you have?"

Leng Xi lowered her head, her mind full of scenes when Long Xiaomin was assassinated, and she had no intention of listening to Concubine Li's scolding.

"Have you listened to me?"

Concubine Li suddenly raised her voice and asked loudly.

Leng Xi raised her sad eyes and looked at her, questioning word by word,

"Mother, is it the Longwu Villa you sent?"

His words made Concubine Li stunned for a moment, and then she frowned and replied:

“Where is Longwu Villa?”

Leng Xi's mouth slightly, lowered her eyebrows and said coldly:

"Someone wants to kill Long Xiaomin, I only tell you her name to my mother, and I can't imagine anyone else."

"presumptuous."

Concubine Li's face suddenly turned pale. She kept gasping for breath, and said sternly while pacing back and forth:

"Are you suspicious of your mother?"

"My son dare not..."

"Then what are you doing? Although the mother doesn't want you to marry that folk woman, she won't fall to the point of killing people. Someone must have interfered with it and wanted to attack you, so you are the only one who reaches the highest level.

Only when you have a location, no one wants to harm you, and you can have the ability to protect the people you want to protect."

Concubine Li's words made Leng Xi stunned for a moment. He looked up at Concubine Li and asked in dismay:

"If I really become the emperor, can I let Long Xiaomin be my queen?"

Concubine Li's eyes sank for a moment, then shook her head, "No, but you can let her be your concubine."

Concubine Li is smart. Just now, she suddenly changed her mind. Since other things cannot arouse Leng Xi’s confidence in seizing the throne, then use this Long Xiaomin to stimulate him.

Leng Xi stood up from the ground, faced Concubine Li, and said with a loss:

"So can I let her be my concubine now?"

Concubine Li's lips tugged gently, showing a contemptuous smile, then sighed and shook her head and said:

"Once your father dies and Leng Yu becomes the emperor, you will pierce his throat like a thorn. Do you think he will let you threaten him and leave it alone? He will think you are in the way,

Remove you directly.”

Li Fei's words hit Leng Xi's heart like a heavy hammer. He tightened his fists and said sadly:

"Can the final result between our brothers and brothers be to fall apart? Are we going to kill each other?"

Seeing that he was feeling a little depressed, Concubine Li raised her hand to pat his shoulder and comforted her softly:

"Xi'er, the strong prey on the weak is a constant truth. Since ancient times, many brothers have killed each other for the throne. Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider your mother. You don't want to let yours.

Mother will go to be buried with your father after his death?"

Burial with you? What a terrible thing!

Leng Xi lowered her head and replied with a cold expression:

"I know, if my mother is fine, my son will sue me first."

Leaving this sentence, he took a big step and walked outside Liyuan.

He didn't know what he was thinking at the moment. His mood was very complicated. He wanted Long Xiaomin, wanted to protect her, and wanted to marry her home, but his prince didn't even have this ability.

After leaving Liyuan, he headed straight to the Yangxin Palace. Perhaps his mother was right, he should go to his father and be filial, at least let him know that his son is alive.

When he came outside the Yangxin Palace, Leng Yu was talking to Liu Xi, and he immediately changed his face and appeared in front of Leng Yu.

"Fourth brother..."

When Leng Yu saw him, he immediately frowned and questioned.
