Suddenly, a low roar came out of his mouth, and his fingertips moved slightly. The sharp blade seemed to be about to cut Luo Lan's neck in an instant, making her bleed on the spot.

At this critical moment, a silver light flashed, and Leng Zian's sword-holding hand was hit. Then, a piece of broken silver fell to the ground with a "clang", and the long sword also fell to the ground. Before anyone could react, Luo Lan was grabbed by the waist and pulled into a warm and broad embrace.

When she was still in shock, a familiar voice that made her feel safe sounded in her ears.

"Lan'er, are you okay?"

Luo Lan knew that the person who came to save her was none other than Leng Yu. She bit her lips tightly, looking at Leng Zian who was standing aside at a loss, being controlled by Xiao Lingzi and the other three. She shook her head slightly, her eyes filled with a complicated look.

Leng Zian saw that the person coming was Leng Yu. He glanced at Leng Yu and suddenly howled to the sky.

"Hahaha, my good nephew, since you have the ability to save this woman, just kill me!"

After saying this, he straightened his chest and looked fearless.

Leng Yu held the frightened Luo Lan tightly with one hand, pointed at Leng Zian with the other hand, and said coldly:

"Uncle, you are so foolish! How dare you hold a sword in front of the emperor? How dare you brandish a sword in front of the emperor? If my nephew hadn't come today, you would have killed not only Luo Lan and yourself, but also your son Xiaozhi. You are truly too reckless."

Hearing Xiao Zhi's name, Leng Zian's emotions suddenly became excited. His chest kept rising and falling, and he kept breathing heavily. His eyes were as red as a fierce wolf coming down the mountain to look for food, as if he could devour people at any time. He even roared directly from his mouth.

"I'm going to kill you. You killed my son and left me without even seeing his remains. You're so cruel. You're just a bunch of ambitious people."

"Uncle..."

Leng Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily,

"Lan'er promised you to see Xiaozhi tomorrow. Why don't you want to wait a day longer? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Still making me wait? Hahaha."

Leng Zian suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter seemed to be able to shake the sky. At this moment, his emotions had collapsed to the extreme.

At this moment, the emperor frowned and slammed the table and roared,

"Come here, take the crazy Leng Zi'an to the prison."

Hearing this, the frightened Luo Lan suddenly had a bad premonition. If Leng Zian was imprisoned in the Sky Prison today, it would not be easy to rescue him tomorrow.

Therefore, we must find a way to minimize this matter.

"emperor……"

She finally couldn't help but speak. Although Leng Zian's behavior today was a little impulsive, it was because he mistakenly believed in slander or was too impatient. Ultimately, the biggest root cause was Xiao Zhi.

Thinking of this, she said without hesitation:

"Your Majesty, Luo Lan is at fault in this matter. It was me who made your uncle misunderstand that Xiaozhi was no longer alive, which is why he acted so impulsively. As a parent, you should understand his feelings. So please, Your Majesty, spare your uncle's heart for the sake of his uncertainty about Xiaozhi's life and death and his excessive worry!"

At this moment, Leng Yu's heart trembled. He suddenly felt that the emperor's uncle had become very great in his heart. For the sake of his son, he had humbly saluted Luo Lan. For the sake of his son, he dared to come to the emperor with a sword to question him. What he did for his son made Leng Yu a little moved. If his father had half the trust and understanding of him that the emperor's uncle had, then would he not have to be paralyzed in bed for three years?

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he smiled bitterly, and then pleaded:

"Your Majesty, your uncle's behavior tonight was indeed somewhat inappropriate, but he longed for his son, and Xiaozhi is his only son. They haven't seen each other for many years, and now they are facing separation. He found it difficult to accept this, which led to his extreme behavior. I believe that your uncle should be given a chance to mend his ways. Please calm down, Your Majesty."

"snort!"

Leng Zian was unmoved by Leng Yu and Luo Lan's pleas, and he didn't appreciate them. He breathed heavily and said angrily:

"There's no need for you to cry wolf over me. As a human being, I must live an upright life. This sword is called the Linglong Sword. It was given to me by the late emperor when I was born. He was afraid that Leng Zijin would harm me, so he gave me this Linglong Sword, which is equivalent to a golden medal of immunity from death. So, even if he is the emperor, he has no right to kill me, hahahaha..."

Although he was smiling, his laughter was clearly choked with sobs and sadness.

The emperor naturally recognized the sword in his hand, which was why the emperor did not dare to act rashly when he came in with a sword.

After a moment of silence, the emperor's face darkened and he spoke in a cold voice:

"It's true that your sword was bestowed upon you by the late emperor, but it was only for self-defense, not for you to slay the king. Now you have committed the crime of attempted treason and regicide. Do you think this mere sword can save you?"

The emperor's voice became extremely cold, making people feel as if they had fallen into a cold pond.

Leng Zian raised his eyebrows and glared at him without any fear, shouting back,

"Leng Zijin, have you forgotten how many shameful means you used to ascend to the throne? But I don't envy you at all. On the contrary, I feel sorry for you."

At this point, he suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Leng Yu, his eyebrows slightly raised, and said with disdain:

"Leng Yu in front of me, he is your son, born to the woman you love most, but you hate that his birth caused the death of the woman you love most. You threw him to a woman who didn't even treat him as her son. After he grew up, you were blinded by someone else's tricks and punished him without even asking why. He lives a life that is neither human nor ghost. Is this what a father should do? Now, for my son, even if I die, I have no regrets. At least I am not a heartless and ungrateful person."

"Shut up!"

When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly turned ashen, and Leng Yu, who had been holding Luo Lan's hand, was shocked.

From Leng Zian, he finally knew why he often couldn't see his father and mother when he was a child. It turned out that his father didn't like him and he blamed his birth for harming his mother. And the mother he had called for many years was not his biological mother. He learned about this from Luo Lan later.

Thinking of this, he suddenly broke into a bitter smile and muttered:

"To this day, I, Leng Yu, still don't know who I came from. It's really sad. I think it must be my fault. I feel guilty towards my own mother, whom I have never met and for whom I haven't even burned an incense stick for her in all these years."
