Leng Xi had already arrived at the Yangxin Hall before Liu Xi. After scanning his shrewd eyes for a week, he looked at the little eunuch guarding the door and asked in a cold voice:
"Where is Eunuch Liu?"
"Prince Huixi, Eunuch Liu has left for a while and asked his servants to guard the emperor here. The emperor has already gone to bed. Eunuch Liu told him before he left that if you come, just give the medicine for the emperor to the servants. The emperor has been here for a few days. If you can't sleep well, please don't go in and disturb the emperor."
Liu Xi is not here? After hearing this news, Leng Xi was secretly happy for a while. God was really helping me!
"presumptuous."
Leng Xi suddenly looked at the little eunuch with a cold eyebrow, veins pulsing on his face, and raised his voice angrily:
"Leave it to you? This medicine is extremely precious. I leave it to you. If something happens, can you afford it? Open the door quickly..."
After saying that, he was about to force his way in. The little eunuch stood at the door a little confused, not knowing whether to stop or get out of the way.
At this moment, the Emperor's faint voice came from inside,
"Liu Xi, Liu Xi, cough...cough...quickly...get me some medicine..."
The little eunuch was a little panicked and was about to push the door open when Leng Xi asked coldly:
"Do you have any medicine for the emperor?"
The young eunuch was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, Eunuch Liu said that the emperor has run out of medicine."
Leng Xi pulled the young eunuch with a look of displeasure on his face, and said angrily in a cold voice:
"Then get out of here!"
After saying this, he pushed open the door and entered. When he closed the door of Yangxin Hall, he said coldly to the eunuch outside:
"This king is delivering medicine to the emperor. No one can disturb me until I come out. Otherwise, you may risk your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door fell heavily, and Leng Xi took long strides towards the sleeping hall behind the Yangxin Hall.
At this time, the emperor had already propped himself up and sat up. He coughed hard and weakly called Liu Xi's name.
"Liu Xi...Liu Xi...get me some medicine. I can't survive."
Before he finished speaking, Leng Xi appeared in front of him. When he looked up and saw Leng Xi, he felt as if he was seeing a savior. He tried to catch him with his hands, but he missed him. Leng Xi was far away from him. Looking at him with cold eyes.
"Xi'er, you're finally here. Hurry... get the medicine for your father."
He originally thought that Leng Xi would take out the medicine and hand it to him as soon as he saw how uncomfortable he was, but he didn't expect Leng Xi to just stand there without moving.
In a panic, he thought he had recognized the wrong person. He shook his head vigorously, trying to wake himself up.
When he looked at the person standing in front of him again, it was indeed Leng Xi, who was looking at him with a pair of cold eyes.
He looked at him with disbelief,
"Xi'er, didn't you hear what Father said? Hurry...get me the medicine."
Leng Xi still stood there without moving. Instead, he directly spread his right hand and a blank imperial edict appeared in front of the emperor.
"Father, I have put a lot of effort into making small pills for you. You should also reward me. Now please issue an imperial edict and make me the prince."
"you……"
The emperor looked at him and weakly raised his finger to point at him,
"You...you dare to force me?"
"I don't dare. I'm just reminding you that the small pills you took are only owned by me in the entire Daning Kingdom. If I forget to give you the medicine at any time, your old disease will relapse and the pain will be unbearable. You should How to do it?"
this……
Leng Xi's words really frightened the emperor's already pale face to become even paler. He gritted his teeth and looked at Leng Xi. There was still a trace of reason in his mind, and he pointed at him and asked:
"You... what kind of medicine are you giving me? Why... why do I feel... uncomfortable if I don't take it?"
"The elixir of life."
Leng Xi didn't even think about it. He straightened his eyes and looked at him. He chuckled and replied:
"Don't you want to live forever? How dare I deny your wish? Doesn't it feel good to take this elixir of life?"
When he said this, he squatted down, took a small pill in the palm of his hand, and raised it in front of the emperor. The emperor reached out to take it as if he saw a life-saving straw, but Leng Xi suddenly made a fist and held the small pill in his hand. In his hand, he immediately raised the blank imperial edict in the other hand,
"Father, I have shown great filial piety to you. Your position as crown prince is vacant. There is no one more suitable for this position than me. Shouldn't you let me sit in the position of prince?"
At this time, the emperor's eyes had begun to turn red, his chest was rising and falling, and he was breathing heavily.
"Medicine...give...give me medicine..."
"Where is the jade seal?"
"Give me...give me the medicine..."
"Where is the jade seal?"
Leng Xi's voice was as terrifying as the roar of a lion. He stared at the emperor with a pair of ferocious eyes. Tonight, he had to get the jade seal. Even if the emperor could no longer write, he could still get a blank imperial edict. When he suddenly died one day, this blank imperial edict became his talisman and stepping stone.
The emperor's eyes were fixed on the small pill in Leng Xi's hand, while he kept shaking his head, opening his mouth hungrily, and replied in a low voice:
"Here...at Eunuch Liu's place, quickly...give me the medicine..."
Obviously, the emperor was desperate. He tried to get out of bed and grab the small pill in Leng Xi's hand, but due to an accident, he fell directly out of the bed and lay on the ground.
He climbed towards Lengxi step by step. Lengxi looked at him without a trace of distress, but with a bit of disgust in his eyes.
Although the emperor in front of him was his father, he had never given him any fatherly love. From childhood to adulthood, he had not experienced the feeling of fatherly love at all, so he had no feelings for him at all. .
The current emperor, in front of him, is a walking corpse that can be used. When the time is right, he will not let him live another day.
I don't know since when, Leng Xi felt that his heart was harder than the rocks on the mountain.
The emperor came closer to him step by step, and he stepped back step by step. Holding the small pill in his hand, he asked coldly:
"Where is the jade seal? You should feel sorry for Erchen, your son who has never been cared for by you. I want to take the position of prince, don't you disagree?"
"Medicine...medicine..."
The emperor dragged his thin body and continued to crawl forward. Although his movements were slow, his eyes were firmly fixed on the small pill in Leng Xi's hand.
At this time, the emperor is like a despised maggot, willing to throw away the dignity of the emperor for a small pill...
He felt like there were tens of thousands of ants biting him all over his body, and his heart ached like a burning fire.
Just as Leng Xi was about to step forward and force him to hand over the jade seal again, the little eunuch's voice came from outside,
"Eunuch Liu, you are back! Prince Xi is inside."
