Liu Xilai's message to inform Leng Yu about entering the palace was quickly sent to Prince Yu's Mansion. Leng Yu and Luo Lan could guess that Liu Xi must be in a hurry, otherwise they would not have come to inform him about entering the palace so early in the morning.

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

Liu Xi had been waiting at the door of Yangxin Hall. When he saw Leng Yu approaching, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Prince Yu, the emperor has contracted the cold. It will take about seven days to recover. During these seven days, I would like you to handle the memorials and court affairs for the emperor as before."

"I disagree……"

Before Leng Yu could respond, an opposing voice appeared out of thin air. Leng Yu and Liu Xi both turned around, only to see Leng Xi striding towards them with a black line on his face. Before the person arrived, the voice could not wait to arrive first.

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

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

"Why doesn't Prince Xi agree? The last time the emperor was ill, Prince Yu handled state affairs on his behalf. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"He was still the prince last time, but now he has been deposed because he made 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?"

When Liu Xi saw that he had reached this point, he simply raised his eyebrows and replied calmly:

"This old slave doesn't have such great rights. It's the emperor's order. I just pass the message on my behalf."

"It's impossible. My father won't give him instructions. I'm going to see my father and ask about this matter."

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

"Prince Xi, the emperor is seriously ill and needs to rest and recuperate. The old slave has ordered the Ministry of Rites to issue an announcement to all the princes and ministers. It is not appropriate for you to go in to see the emperor now. You should please go back."

Seeing Liu Xi deliberately blocking him, Leng Xi's face instantly darkened. He looked at Liu Xi and asked one word at a time:

"When I came yesterday, my father was fine. Why did he suddenly become seriously ill today? I suspect you are lying...

"If Prince Xi doesn't believe it, just go to the Imperial Hospital and ask Dr. Wang. He just came here in the morning and prescribed calming medicine for the emperor. He can confirm that the emperor is indeed ill."

"Even so, the state affairs in this court should not be handed over to Prince Yu. This would be too hasty."

Hasty?

Hearing these two words, the handsome eyes of Leng Yu, who had been standing silently, suddenly turned cold. He raised his eyebrows and sneered:

"What do you mean by this, fifth brother? Is it rash to entrust the state affairs to me? Then who is it not rash to entrust it to me? You?"

Leng Xi turned his face to the side guiltily and snorted softly,

"I don't dare to take on this important task. When my father is seriously ill, the decision of who should handle state affairs should be left to the ministers, or there should be an imperial edict from my father, rather than just a casual message from Eunuch Liu."

When Liu Xi saw that Leng Xi was doubting himself, he didn't want to explain too much, but said coldly:

"The emperor's oral instructions are conveyed to the old slave. If Prince Xi feels that there is something wrong, please come back and ask the emperor again after seven days."

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

"Prince Yu, let's not waste time here. Please come to the imperial study room. I think everyone who will deliver the memorial will arrive soon."

Seeing that Liu Xi and Leng Yu were ignoring him, Leng Xi was so angry that the veins on his face jumped. He took big steps and headed towards the Yangxin Hall regardless. Leng Yu was about to stop him when he was stopped by Liu Xi.

He shook his head, signaling him not to act rashly.

Before Leng Xi arrived at the door of Yangxin Hall, several young eunuchs bowed and stopped in front of him.

"Prince Xi, the emperor is not feeling well and has gone to bed. It is inconvenient to see guests."

"Go away."

Leng Xi's voice became sharp, but the young eunuchs still stood there without moving.

Seeing this, Leng Xi raised his palm and slapped a young eunuch in the face. Just before his slap landed, his hand was tightly clamped.

At the same time as a soreness hit him, he looked up in surprise and saw Liu Xi looking at him with a calm face. He put his hand down from mid-air and bowed slowly:

"Prince Xi, please come back!"

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

He looked at Liu Xi blankly, with a surprised and fierce look in his eyes.

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

This Liu Xi, as expected, has advanced martial arts skills as rumored. Just now he just lightly shook his wrist, and he felt as if his bones were about to break. This is why he didn't dare to continue to force himself.

The reason is.

It seems that if you want to successfully ascend the throne, you must not only guard against Leng Yu and Liu Dechang, but also pay more attention to Liu Xi.

But what method should be used to make Liu Xi available to him?

Thinking of this, he changed direction and headed straight for Liyuan.

Speaking of which, he probably hasn't been to Liyuan for a few days. To be more precise, he hasn't been to Liyuan since the concubine ceremony for his mother-in-law was cancelled. He was angry with his mother-in-law and hated her.

He was so impatient that he wanted to cause trouble before the Queen's Ceremony, and people took advantage of it. The good Queen's Ceremony was abruptly cancelled.

When he arrived at Liyuan, Concubine Li was sitting in the main hall drinking tea. He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and said:

"Concubine, how are you doing lately?"

Li Fei didn't look at him at all. She casually picked up the lid of the cup, flicked the foam floating on the tea water, and snorted disdainfully,

"I told you several times that you didn't come, so I had to come to invite you in person. Why is Prince Xi free to come to Liyuan today?"

Judging from Concubine Li's tone, she must be angry. Leng Xi hurriedly bowed and apologized:

"My son, I'm sorry. I have a lot of things on my hands recently, so I don't have time to come to Liyuan to pay you a greeting. Don't blame me, my son."

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

Seeing that Li Fei had guessed his thoughts, Leng Xi quickly shook his head in denial.

"Nothing, I just went to Yangxin Hall and was rejected. I thought I haven't seen my mother and concubine for a few days, so I came here to see you."

"Isn't the Emperor sick? What else are you going to do? It would be strange if you don't accept the rejection."

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

Li Fei picked up the tea cup on the table and turned it around in her hands, with a sharp look in her eyes and she snorted,

"Is this all Liu Xi's fault?"

"How does the mother-in-law know?"

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

"The emperor has great trust in him. Now that he is suddenly seriously ill, he naturally has no intention of arranging who will handle state affairs. This allows Liu Xi to take advantage of the opportunity. Moreover, he ordered someone to pass on Leng Yu early in the morning. My concubine has already

I expected this result."

Li Fei's words made Leng Xi's face turn pale instantly. Thinking of Liu Xi, he asked with some confusion:

"Does the mother and concubine know the origin of Liu Xi? I learned this when I had a fight with him just now. His internal strength is very deep, and his kung fu is definitely not inferior to Liu Dechang's. But since he has such high kung fu, why is he willing to be a person next to his father?

Where is the eunuch? Is there any way we can control him?"
