Leng Yu and Luo Lan were both puzzled by this question.

After pondering for a while, Leng Yu spoke anxiously,

"Tomorrow morning, I will send people to investigate the area around the imperial mausoleum. If anyone dares to gather a force to resist the imperial court, we must not underestimate them."

Luo Lan nodded in agreement.

"Well, I really hope this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Li and Yu'er. Over the years, Daning State has been prosperous, and there are fewer people scheming inside and outside the court. It would be great if such a peaceful life is not disrupted."

"Lan'er is right. You and I have already adapted to this kind of life. We really don't want it to be disrupted by something that shouldn't happen. I also really hope that this matter has nothing to do with Yu'er and Concubine Li. I promised my father that I would take good care of Yu'er, so I can't go back on my word..."

Having said this, he didn't dare to continue.

He was very afraid that what Leng Xi said was true, and he was also afraid that what he didn't want to see would become a reality.

…

Two months later...

Yi Cheng sent An An back and went back. A month after he returned, he received a letter mentioning that the wedding date in Dongyang Kingdom had been set, and asked An An to set off immediately to avoid missing the wedding date.

Today is the day that An An is going to set off. Luo Lan has ordered people to prepare her dowry early, and asked Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan to escort her to Dongyang Kingdom personally.

An An knelt in front of Leng Yu and Luo Lan, bidding them farewell with tears in her eyes.

"Dad, Mom, I'm an unfilial daughter. I can't fulfill my filial duties in front of you two. You two must take care of your health."

Luo Lan stepped forward and reluctantly helped her up.

"An'an, as long as you can be happy, your father and I will be relieved. Everything is ready. When you leave, mother and father will not go to see you off. Oh, by the way, Prince Xi and Xiaobao will go to see you off. Don't refuse their kindness. Then, go to Prince Xi's Mansion and say goodbye to your grandmother!"

"Mom, I know. I will definitely come back to see you and Dad next spring."

"Silly boy, let's go!"

As she said this, Luo Lan's tears could no longer stop falling.

Leng Yu reluctantly nodded to An An.

"You still have to go to Prince Xi's Mansion, so leave early!"

An An took two steps back, bowed deeply to them reluctantly, then turned and left.

Looking at her back, Luo Lan raised the handkerchief in his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, while Leng Yu sighed.

"The children have grown up and gone their separate ways..."

As he said this, he raised his hand, held her in his arms, and together with her, looked in the direction An An left...

As soon as An An left Fengyi Palace, Lele came to greet her.

"Second sister, I've prepared a gift for you and asked General Ling to take it with him. When you and Yi Cheng are free, please come back to see me."

An An looked at Le Le who was a head taller than her and smiled.

"Okay, your schoolwork has been very tight. I haven't been able to have a good conversation with you since I came back. When you have some free time, why don't you go to Dongyang Country? It's a great place with lots of delicious food and fun things to do."

Hearing this, Lele sighed a little disappointedly.

"Second sister, to be honest, I also want to go out for a walk, but I don't have the time, and I don't dare to slack off. In fact, I know that Dad and Mom don't want me to be so tired, but I am the crown prince, and my position does not allow me to be careless, and I don't want to let them down. Now I am particularly envious of you and Brother Huaiyu..."

At this point, he lowered his voice and whispered in her ear,

"Oh, Brother Huaiyu secretly wrote me a letter. He said he's living a good life now. When I have time, I'll go see him. Then I'll tell him about your situation. He'll definitely be very happy."

An An nodded happily.

"That's great. Brother Huaiyu's matter has always been a knot in my heart. Later, I heard that he was fine, and I was relieved. When you have the chance to see him, please tell him for me that I miss him and hope to see him again one day."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely convey your message. It's getting late, so go!"

An An nodded to him reluctantly, then raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Take good care of yourself, take good care of your father and mother, we will see you later."

After leaving these words, she smiled at him, turned around, and walked towards the palace gate reluctantly.

Looking at her back, Lele sighed softly, then looked up and looked around. This huge palace made him feel suffocated.

He heaved a long sigh of relief, feeling sad that he would have to live here in the future...

…

After An An left the palace, she went straight to Prince Xi's Mansion.

Yu Qiaoqiao looked at her daughter who appeared out of nowhere, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad. However, Concubine Li's face was filled with happiness.

"An An, you are leaving so soon. Grandma can't bear to see you go."

As she spoke, she took off her favorite pair of purple jade bracelets from her wrists.

"This is the dowry that my grandmother's mother gave to me. Now that you are getting married, I give this to you as a dowry."

Seeing this, An An waved his hands hurriedly.

"Grandma, this is your favorite thing, An An can't have it..."

"Silly child, this is a little gift from grandma. If you don't accept it, grandma will be upset."

Seeing this, Yu Qiaoqiao also followed suit.

"An An, just accept it. We haven't been able to take good care of you these years. You call me mother, and I will treat you as my own daughter from now on. Your father and I have prepared a dowry for you. The gift list will be sent to Dongyang State together with the dowry prepared by the Queen. When you have time, you must come back to see us often."

An An nodded reluctantly, then stood up, took the jade bracelet from Concubine Li's hand, attached it to Concubine Li, and said goodbye to her affectionately.

"Grandma, please take care of yourself."

Concubine Li nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, grandma will take care of herself. You have to take care of yourself too, okay?"

An An nodded heavily, then came to Yu Qiaoqiao and bowed to her.

"An An bids farewell to her mother and thanks her for the dowry she prepared for her."

Yu Qiaoqiao narrowed her eyes and smiled softly.

"Silly child, you don't need to thank your mother. Your father is bringing your younger brother Xiaobao to your wedding banquet this time. Mother hasn't been in good health in the past two years, and she has to take care of your grandmother at home, so she won't go. Don't blame her."

"Mother, you are too kind... You are at home taking care of grandma, which is more important than anything else..."

Leng Xi saw this and reminded:

"An An, it's getting late. Everyone is still waiting for us. Let's get going early!"

An An then looked at Leng Xi, smiled and nodded at him,

"Dad, thank you for your hard work!"

"What are you talking about? I'm your father. I haven't been able to take good care of you all these years. This time, I'm escorting you back to Dongyang to get married. I'm very happy. It's not hard at all..."

An An looked at him with gratitude in her eyes, then bowed to Concubine Li and Yu Qiaoqiao again, then went out and got on the carriage surrounded by everyone.

Leng Xi and Xiao Bao mounted their horses and, along with Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan, walked at the front of the group. They brought Luo Lan, Leng Yu, and the dowry that Leng Xi and Yu Qiaoqiao had prepared for An An, and hurried to Dongyang State...
