Listening to Concubine Li's eloquent words, Concubine Li's face became even more ugly.
It seems that she can no longer indulge her, otherwise, sooner or later, this woman named Li will crawl up her neck and trample her under her feet.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth to suppress the anger in her heart, and said with a resentful expression:
"The emperor is kind to my sister. This is a good thing. But I don't know why. Over the years, all the women who have been favored by the emperor will not end well if they are too flamboyant. They will die. Sister, I have to remind you that you You entered the palace late, you are young, and you are pregnant. This harem is a woman's world, so you must protect yourself and the child in your belly."
Concubine Li's reminder and threat made Concubine Li sneer secretly in her heart, but she still said calmly:
"Although this harem belongs to women, it is you, sister, who makes the decision. With you here, what do I have to fear, sister? Who dares to bully me? You will also protect me, right?"
The look in her eyes shocked Concubine Li. In the past, those women would only try to please her when they saw her, but this Concubine Li dared to look at her with such mocking eyes.
She shook the handkerchief slightly, and a sinister and unnoticeable smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
At this time, Xina and Xiaoling were hiding behind a rockery, looking at Concubine Li and Concubine Li not far away, nervous and not knowing what to do.
"Xina..."
Leng Ming called her not far away, and Xina looked for her voice alertly. When he saw Leng Ming, he immediately exhaled and whispered to Leng Ming, who was walking over quickly:
"When will they leave?"
Leng Ming shook his head calmly,
"My father just said that they will stay at Prince Yu's Mansion for a few days."
"How many days will you stay?"
Xina repeated what he just said with a look of astonishment on her face, "Then what should we do? Is my sister back?"
Leng Ming pointed not far away, "Now everyone in the palace is following the two ladies to enjoy the flowers in the back garden. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will take you back to your room. You will have to hide in the room for the next few days." Don’t come out.”
Isn't it?
Xina's face instantly turned pale.
Before, she could move around freely in Prince Yu's Mansion, but she felt a little bored.
Now they only let her stay in the room. This... shouldn't this suffocate her to death?
Seeing her hesitating, Leng Ming reminded him in a low voice:
"If I'm not wrong, Concubine Li must have heard some rumors and came here specifically for you. She has been looking for trouble for her fourth brother and sister-in-law. If she knows that you two live in Prince Yu's Mansion, then not only the four of you will be in trouble. My brother, my fourth sister-in-law, and General Liu will be implicated, and the entire servants of Prince Yu's Palace will be taken to Caishikou for questioning, so you can decide for yourself whether you want to hide or not."
Seeing that Xina was still thinking about something, Xiaoling hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes.
"Nana, don't think about it. The two women will come this way soon. Let's leave here first."
Although Xina was unwilling, she helplessly murmured,
"Okay, I just hope they leave here quickly, otherwise they will choke me to death."
Leng Ming frowned and nodded thoughtfully,
"You guys go back to your room first. When fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law come back, we can discuss what to do!"
Although Leng Ming was worried about them, he really couldn't think of a better way.
Originally, he thought of taking the two of them to Prince Ming's Mansion, but the servants in Prince Ming's Mansion were no less than those in Prince Yu's Mansion, and there were many people talking. If someone discovered the clues, it would be even more difficult to handle.
Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly, took Xina and Xiaoling, and walked quickly towards the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion.
Ever since Concubine Li and others entered Prince Yu's Mansion, she had arranged for people to keep an eye on everyone in Prince Yu's Mansion.
Leng Ming's whereabouts just now were naturally seen by her people. When he took Xina and Xiaoling to the backyard, he did not notice a figure quietly following them until he looked at Xina and Xiaoling. After everyone went back to their rooms, the man walked away with a cunning smile.
Leng Yu and Luo Lan rushed back to Prince Yu's Mansion as soon as they received the news.
When they met at the door, Luo Lan whispered alertly:
"Ms. sir, why did the emperor come suddenly? And he didn't inform you in advance?"
Leng Yu stopped moving forward, looked sideways at Luo Lan, and said solemnly:
"Concubine Li is here too. Did someone find out about Xina and your mother?"
"I'm worried about this too, let's go in and take a look!"
As they spoke, the two of them walked towards Prince Yu's Mansion. A Gang, who was anxiously wandering around at the gate, saw the two of them coming back and hurriedly greeted them.
"Your Majesty, Princess, you are finally back."
After Leng Yu saw A Gang, he walked towards the main hall and asked:
"How is the situation now?"
"The emperor is resting in the west wing, and the two ladies are drinking tea in the back garden."
"Where are the second young lady and madam?"
"Prince Ming arranged for them to go back to his room to hide. I have ordered people to prepare the lunch meal. The dishes are prepared according to the palace menu. However, there are people from the palace inside and outside the palace. I am worried about the second lady and the others..."
"I see."
Leng Yu waved his hand directly, interrupting him.
"Go and do your work, I will take care of it."
Seeing the prince say this, A Gang's heart finally dropped a little.
After nodding, he quickly walked towards the kitchen.
Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan, nodded and said:
"Let's go pay respects to our father and find out the purpose of his sudden visit to Prince Yu's Mansion."
After Luo Lan nodded, he walked towards the west wing with him.
When Leng Ming learned that the two of them were back, he hurried over and stopped him when they were about to enter the west wing.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law..."
Leng Yu stood still, Leng Ming hurriedly stepped forward and said:
"My father came suddenly this time and will stay for a few days. What will Xina and her mother do?"
Leng Ming's words made Luo Lan look at him with disbelief, "How many days do you think the emperor will stay in Prince Yu's Mansion? Why is that?"
Leng Ming frowned and shook his head, "Father said he came out to relax, but I always feel that this matter has something to do with Concubine Li. She must have other agendas."
After listening to Leng Ming's words, Luo Lan looked at Leng Yu and said cautiously:
"It seems that your worries are justified."
Leng Ming frowned with a livid face, "Go and finish the ceremony first."
After saying this, he took long strides and walked towards the west wing, followed closely by Luo Lan and Leng Ming.
At this time, Concubine Li and Concubine Li, who were still drinking tea in the back garden, were watching the small fish swimming in the lake with their own thoughts.
Aunt Lu came in a hurry, and after whispering a few words into Concubine Li's ear, a cunning smile suddenly appeared on Concubine Li's lips.
She waved her hand to Aunt Lu, who nodded understandingly. He quickly left again.
Li Fei picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, pursing her lips and smiling softly.
"Sister, is there something good?"
