Listening to Luo Lan's words, Leng Yun spread out the fan in his hand with some pride, and snorted coldly when he shook it.

"He wants to be the emperor? Maybe in the next life! To tell you the truth, this throne is something I am determined to obtain. Whoever stands in my way must die."

A clear light flashed in Luo Lan's crystal eyes, and the sound of approaching footsteps outside made the corners of her mouth rise slightly.

She looked at him with admiration, nodded and praised:

"That's true, but I think if you want to achieve great things, you have to be careful of the people around you. You can't rush around like Leng Yu, thinking of killing the emperor and seizing the throne. That's really stupid. But there's one thing I don't understand. How could he be so confused three years ago? I heard that he's not like this usually, so how could he do such a thing? It's really puzzling."

Hearing her ridicule Leng Yu like this, Leng Yun's mouth corners slightly raised, he waved the folding fan in his hand with some pride, and said with a raised mouth corner:

"Hahaha, what you said just now is correct. If you want to achieve great things, you must eliminate those who are different from you. Let me tell you the truth. I, Leng Yun, can sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince today because of my own hard work. Three years ago, the reason why Leng Yu did what he did was because of me, hahaha!"

Luo Lan pursed his lips, looked at him with disdain, rested his chin on his hands, and said contemptuously:

"I don't believe it. I heard that he pointed his sword at the emperor's chest that day, and the emperor was almost killed by him. And you still say it was thanks to you? Do you have that ability? Can you control people's thoughts? What a boast."

Leng Yun sat down on the chair opposite her, fanning himself complacently, snorted coldly, and said complacently:

"I'm not bragging, I really can control people's thoughts. Back then, I only used a bottle of Ecstasy Powder and a box of incense to make Leng Yu lose his will. Everyone he saw looked like a ferocious beast. It would be strange if he didn't draw his sword and kill them. You haven't heard of this thing, right? Hahaha..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open from the outside. The emperor pointed at Leng Yun who was standing there in a daze with a pale face and asked angrily,

"You...it turns out it's you...it turns out you did everything."

Seeing this scene, Leng Yun was stunned for a moment. He stood there, his whole body stiff, as if he was fixed there. When he reacted and saw who was coming, he suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and wailed like pounding garlic.

"Father, I was wrong. It was a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me, please forgive me."

The emperor could hardly suppress his anger. He looked at Leng Yun, his teeth chattering like an enraged lion.

Concubine Chang's face was full of disbelief. She originally wanted the emperor to catch this couple and take the opportunity to get rid of them, so how come everything changed?

Shui Luolan stood behind the prince, with a hint of calmness between her brows. As long as she could clear Leng Yu's name, she didn't care how the emperor punished her.

Time seemed to stand still, and everyone was standing there, not knowing what to do.

After a while, the emperor suddenly roared at the people behind him,

"Tie up Crown Prince Leng Yun and send him to the Ministry of Punishment. Imprison Shui Luolan and await his fate."

After leaving these words, he gave Leng Yun and Shui Luolan a fierce look, swung his sleeves, and left angrily, leaving only Leng Yun trembling in place and Luolan with a relaxed expression.

Everything is over, and the emperor knows everything. I believe that even if he knows that Leng Yu left the house secretly to save people, he will not blame him!

Now that Leng Yu was safe, she felt relieved.

After the emperor left, someone came forward and took Leng Yun and Luo Lan away.

The emperor left Qingyu Garden in anger and annoyance. On the way back to Yangxin Palace, Concubine Chang followed him and kept comforting him.

"Your Majesty, please do not get angry. You should investigate further."

The emperor suddenly stopped, glared at her, and said word by word:

"I have wronged Yu'er for three years. Aren't you surprised to hear this news? Don't you think I am a tyrant? Don't you think I am a stupid father?"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Concubine Chang bowed slightly and bit her lip to console him:

"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be thoroughly investigated."

"How can we investigate? How can we investigate something that's so obvious?"

The emperor suddenly waved his hands, looking bewildered.

"I actually confined my own son for three years without any reason and nearly killed him. I am so foolish, so foolish!"

"emperor…"

Seeing the emperor looking so annoyed, Concubine Chang wanted to speak up to persuade him, but she didn't know how to start, for fear that saying too much would anger the emperor.

The emperor suddenly waved his hands weakly, "Liu Xi, please go to the Yangxin Palace. No one is allowed to disturb me. I need to think carefully about how to face my Yu'er."

After saying this, he ignored Concubine Chang's concerned look, flicked his sleeves, and strode away, leaving the angry Concubine Chang standing disheveled in the wind.

Luo Lan was locked up. She didn't know where she was, but she knew that this was not the Ministry of Punishment.

Sitting on the unfamiliar bed, she buried her head in her knees, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

She knew that the emperor would not let her off easily this time. Although she had cleared up the matter for Leng Yu, she was also accused of seducing the prince. In addition, the emperor suspected her identity, so this time, she could not escape.

But when she thought that Leng Yu was temporarily safe, a relieved smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

I just don't know how Leng Yu is doing now, whether he is safe...

…

The emperor couldn't sleep that night and he sat behind the dragon desk all night.

For the past three years, he had always wondered why Yu'er would target him, his father. Now he knew that Leng Yun had murdered him, but he, as his father, had not investigated the matter, leaving him to bear the infamy for three years.

Thinking of this, his heart ached like a knife.

And Leng Yun, he only knew that he was usually reckless and careless, but he never thought he would do such a thing. If he hadn't happened to hear this, this secret would probably never be known to him in his lifetime, and Yu'er would have been charged with patricide for the rest of her life...

It was not until dawn that he finally understood something. Although this incident would let the world know how foolish the decision he made as the emperor was, he still had to clear Yu'er's name. He could not let him down again.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes tightly and called out to Eunuch Liu who was dozing off to the side:

"Liu Xi, where is that woman? Take me to see her."

The emperor did not sleep all night, and Liu Xi also stayed up all night. Although he tried to persuade him to get some sleep, the emperor did not listen and just sat there quietly without saying a word.

Now the emperor suddenly spoke, Liu Xi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and ran to him in small steps.

"Your Majesty, Shui Luolan is imprisoned in Qinxiang Garden."

The emperor slowly stood up, frowned and said sternly:

"Going to Qinxiang Garden..."
