Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 421 Three Messages

Li Yuqi woke up late at night on the fifth day.

The windows are open, and the evening breeze blows in, refreshing and cool.From the corridor outside the window, there was a faint snoring sound.

Inside, the lights are bright.

This sleep lasted for a long time, so that when Li Yuqi woke up, he still felt at a loss as to what year it was.He opened his mouth, wanting to call someone, only to find that his throat was hoarse and dry, and he couldn't make a sound at all. Instead, a glass of water was handed over to him. He took it, and subconsciously looked at it... so frightened that all his souls were wiped out!

The person in front of him was wrapped in a black hood, only Li Yuqi was lying down, and the other person looked down, no matter how wide the hood was, it couldn't cover his badly damaged face.

No matter how many times I look at it, I still feel a face of horror.

Li Yuqi has a bad temper. When he woke up and suddenly saw such a face, his mood fell to the bottom. He took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then scolded with a bad face, "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you, Don't come to me without summons...how can I be seen?"

The black-robed man laughed bitterly, not taking it seriously, "One good news, two bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

Li Yuqi was still a little puzzled, how could there be only two bad news in the half night?He faintly had a bad premonition, and said, "Nonsense, what nonsense, hurry up! Let's talk about the bad first."

"Success." Lin Yi smiled, his voice was hoarse and ugly, and his smile was even worse, like a rusty and dull saw pulling back and forth on wood, "The first bad news is that something bad happened to that little girl from the Ye family. Fengchenju was unharmed, but she lost everything, and the Ye family also kicked her out of the mansion... This pawn is useless."

I originally thought that the best way for Fengchenju to face the Ye family's reluctance and want to calm things down is naturally to ask the Bai family to move out of the empress's face. Mrs. Ye didn't like this Xianyue in the first place, so the two parties could hit it off .

In this way, no matter whether Fengchenju himself is willing or not, in the eyes of the world, the empress is the backstage of Fengchenju. At that time, even if Li Yiwei wants to stay out of it...he can't help himself.

The emperor was in his prime, and heirs were not abundant. Especially in the past few years, news of concubine's pregnancy was rarely reported.Except for Li Yanxian who was ill in bed for half a year, there was only one Li Yiwei who was the crown prince's biggest competitor.

The two sides are evenly matched in power, and the other party is still a legitimate son of the royal family. If it weren't for the fact that the Bai family is slightly weaker than the Zuo Xiangfu, it is really hard to say who will get the East Palace.

However, in these years, Li Yuqi has never caught any clues about the other party. The king of Pingyang seems to have followed the queen's temper, indifferent, casual, gentle, and neither fights nor grabs. Even though Li Yuqi has ruined his reputation behind his back all these years, Also to no avail.He looked like he was really focused on being his idle king.

But... who would believe it?
Li Yuqi felt that even if he killed himself, he would not believe that this kind of "uncontested" would really appear among the heirs of the royal family.The so-called "no contention" is more of just keeping a low profile and waiting for an opportunity.

He squeezed the teacup in his hand, his eyes were deep, and after a long while, he smiled casually, "What kind of bad news is this... Is it that the woman from the Ye family has something to do with us, or this Fengchenju has something to do with us... It doesn't matter." , it’s gossip at best. But...it’s a pity for such a beautiful and beautiful family...what else?"

Lin Yi lifted his eyelids, he only had one eye, and the other eyeball was completely gone, it looked like a black hole.He didn't care about it either, he was just exposed there like the empty door was wide open, so that this eyelid-raising movement was extremely terrifying.He couldn't see it himself, he only hated the prince of the East Palace in his heart, but his face didn't show anything, he lowered his head and smiled, "Your Highness, you have been drunk and lethargic for five days, His Majesty was so angry that he banned the whole East Palace here ..."

"What?!" Li Yuqi asked in a loud voice, but he still didn't wake up the sleeping boy in the corridor. He glanced at the open window as if feeling something, but didn't pursue it. He hurriedly asked, "What five days? You mean Ben Gong slept for five days? How is it possible, Ben Gong was still drinking with Xiaoyuan a few hours ago..."

Lin Yi calmly nodded, "Yes. His Royal Highness and Miss Xiaoyuan got drunk after drinking. This drunk lasted for five days."

"Impossible! I have always had a good capacity for alcohol, and it is rare for me to be so drunk that I am unconscious. It is still like this for five days..." He paused for a moment, and suddenly thought, "Could it be that the wine is poisonous?" Where is Xiaoyuan? Have someone bring it to Ben Gong!"

Lin Yi didn't move, "It's inconvenient for me to see her, the Prince's backyard matter should be dealt with after I leave... All the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital came, and the unanimous conclusion was that the wine was non-toxic, and His Highness is... …Drunk."

"How is it possible?" Li Yuqi didn't believe that he could drink like this at all, not to mention that Ning Xiuyuan was there that day, so it was even more impossible for him to get drunk.However, what Lin Yi said made sense. It is indeed not the best time to deal with this matter. About five days have passed, and it is not too short of this hour. He put the teacup in his hand on the small table beside the bed, lying too After a long time, his head was still a little dizzy, he leaned against the pillow and asked again, "What about the good news?"

"The good news is..." Under the wide hood, the hideous face slowly pulled the corners of his mouth, his expression was ferocious and cruel, his voice was hoarse but also strangely gentle, he said, "Your father , Our Majesty the Emperor...has been caught in the wind and cold for the past few days, and has not healed yet. Your two brothers have been waiting in front of the dragon couch day and night. You can also take this opportunity to show your filial piety, and by the way...relieve this restriction Things."

When he said "your father", he pronounced the words extremely heavily, rolling between his lips and teeth, with a hidden edge.

Li Yuqi glanced at him as if feeling something, and saw that the other party was still bowing his head and shrinking his neck, even though he was shrunk in a wide cloak, he could still see the groveling look, and instantly felt that he was thinking too much—it was just an unsightly person. It is his supreme honor that he is willing to take him in as a human thing and let him be driven by him.

Li Yuqi thought about it, nodded, "Understood...let's step back."

The man in black got up and backed away, Li Yuqi called out again, "Wait. It's still the same sentence, don't come to me if you have nothing to do... Also, I will cure the drug you took."

As he said that, Li Yuqi raised his chin towards the window, his eyes were a little cold, "This is not an example."

"Yes……"
