Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Liu Xi came with a bow,

"Your Majesty, which lady's palace are you going to spend the night in tonight?"

The emperor, who was dozing off on the imperial couch, slowly opened his eyes, waved his hands weakly,

"I feel uncomfortable all over, quickly bring me medicine..."

"Your Majesty, you have already taken six pills today, you can't take any more..."

The emperor twisted his body and pulled the hem of his clothes with his hands. It seemed that he felt short of breath. He waved his hands a little irritably,

"Get the medicine quickly, I'm going to die..."

Seeing that the emperor was really suffering at this time, Liu Xi didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly ran to the small box on the table, took out a small pill, brought a glass of water, came to the emperor, and said softly:

"Your Majesty, here comes the medicine."

Only then did the emperor support his body and sit up, took the small pill with trembling hands, and quickly threw it into his mouth, Liu Xi hurriedly brought the water to his mouth.

After taking the medicine, the emperor closed his eyes and slowly opened them again. He sighed and murmured:

"Liu Xi, do you think this is the medicine of immortality? Or the medicine that kills me? Why do I feel powerless when I don't take it, and I feel like scratching my head? After taking it, I feel refreshed all over my body. Yuxian, but look, my arms are already skinny, I always wonder if there is any elixir of life in this world?"

Liu Xi took the water glass in his hand, put it on the table beside him, bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, I don't know if the old slave really has the elixir of immortality. It is said that the previous emperor had asked someone to refine the elixir of immortality, and it cost a lot of money, but I don't know if it succeeded in the end."

The emperor blinked his turbid eyes, then half-closed his eyes, let out a long breath,

"If it succeeds, will there still be a Great Ning Kingdom? Recently, I feel more and more exhausted. Even after taking this small pill, it can only last for a while. This medicine is far less effective than when I first took it. Tomorrow morning, I will call Lord Xi to come, and I will ask him carefully."

"It is estimated that Lord Xi will come tomorrow morning, and this is the only one left of your little pill."

Hearing this, the emperor looked at Liu Xi in a panic, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times, then waved to him impatiently, saying:

"Hurry up, send him over now, I can't wait until tomorrow morning, let him bring some more small pills."

Seeing that the emperor's request was urgent, Liu Xi felt that it was a bit too urgent, but he was also afraid that the emperor would really get sick because of the shortage of small pills.

So, after bowing and saluting, he took small steps and walked quickly to the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

……

In Xiwang Mansion

It was getting late, but Lengxi still didn't feel sleepy. After so many years and experienced so many things, he seemed much more mature than before.

He sat in the study, staring at a Pisces jade pendant in a daze.

This jade pendant was given by the late emperor when he was born, and it is said that there is only this pair in the world.

Looking at this jade pendant, his eyes turned red, and some past events from that year emerged in his mind.

That year, he made love to Long Xiaomin, and after some affectionate feelings, he gave her a pair of jade pendants that he had treasured for many years, and told her that when the jade pendants are there, people are there. Seeing him in person, he will always guard her like this jade pendant.

But in the end, he still made a slip of the tongue...

For so many years, he has kept it as a treasure, not daring to take it out and look at it, let alone recall it.

However, whenever he sees that little girl An An, he will think of her unconsciously. If she is still alive, if he is lucky enough to marry her, maybe their child will look as cute as An An!

He had such fantasies more than once, but they were all broken by reality in the end.

Long Xiaomin is dead and will never come back. Every time he thinks about this, he wished to stab himself, let him go to another world to find her, and say to her: I'm sorry!

"My lord, there are people coming from the palace."

The housekeeper's words interrupted his train of thought, he put the jade pendant back into the drawer, slowly raised his hand,

"Let him in."

The butler stepped back in response, and after a while, a young eunuch came in, bowed and saluted:

"Lord Xi, Your Majesty asks you to take the small pill and enter the palace immediately."

Leng Xi frowned, and asked in surprise: "What's wrong with Father?"

The little eunuch bowed again and replied:

"The emperor's medicine is finished, and he's a little anxious. Please go to the palace and give him some, otherwise he won't be able to sleep peacefully."

"It's so late, tomorrow!"

"The emperor said, if it's inconvenient for you, let the servants bring some back."

Seeing that the little eunuch's tone became hasty, Lengxi's face turned livid. He glared at the person and shouted angrily:

"It's unreasonable. A small pill is more precious than your life. Do you dare to take it back? Can you afford to lose one? Besides, how does this king know if you will secretly replace it halfway?"

"Slave dare not!"

The little eunuch standing opposite him turned pale with fright because of his words, bowed his waist directly, and said in a timid voice:

"Then...then please go there yourself."

Leng Xi's eyes flickered disdainfully for a few times, then he snorted coldly and said:

"I know, you go back first."

"Then you? When will you enter the palace? This servant can reply to the emperor."

"Snapped!"

There was a sound of a water cup falling to the ground, and a broken teacup appeared at the little eunuch's feet, which made the little eunuch fall to his knees in fright.

"Lord Xi calm down."

A fierce look appeared in Lengxi's eyes, and then he snapped sharply with veins throbbing:

"You dare to question this king? If this king says go, he will go naturally. Do you need to arrange the time? Get lost!"

Hearing this, the little eunuch didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly got up from the ground as if receiving an amnesty, took a few steps back, turned and left.

It was calm again here, but a deep furrow formed on Lengxi's forehead.

The father canceled the empress ceremony for the mother and concubine next month, which means that his previous plan was stopped halfway, and now he is thinking that this little pill is the only thing that can restrain the emperor, and he wants to use it This thing is to force the emperor to make him the crown prince, otherwise, wouldn't he have done so much for nothing?

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, since the emperor urgently wanted his little pill delivered, what would happen if he delivered some later?

Thinking of this, he got up and went to the bedroom behind the study.

After so many years, he still has not been able to accept Yu Qiaoqiao in his heart. In this Prince Xi's mansion, she is Xiaobao's mother and he is Xiaobao's father. Their relationship only ends here.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor had already fallen asleep, and the little eunuch had just conveyed Prince Xi's words to Liu Xi intact. Liu Xi's old face instantly showed a look of worry.

He waved to the little eunuch,

"Go on, don't mention this to others."

In the past, Liu Xi was happy because the emperor took the medicine sent by Concubine Li Gui and his mental state improved.

But now, seeing the emperor's deteriorating body, he was actually a little worried.

Thinking of this, he said solemnly to the little eunuch guarding the gate:

"Stay here. If the emperor calls me, he will say that I have gone to the latrine."

After leaving these words, he took small steps and hurried out of the palace taking advantage of the darkness.
