Luo Lan nodded and followed the two jailers into the sky prison.

After entering the prison, the jailer hurriedly moved his chair and said respectfully:

"Princess, please take a seat."

Luo Lan glanced at the chair and did not sit down. Instead, he said directly:

"I came here this time to meet Prince Yu. I wonder if you two can make some concessions?"

Hearing this, the two jailers looked at each other and nodded. One of them whispered back:

"To be honest, Princess, the Emperor has issued an order not to allow anyone else to see Prince Yu. But now that you're here, how dare we deny you access? But please don't delay for too long. If someone sees us, we can't afford the consequences."

Luo Lan nodded with a deep gaze, turned around and said to A Cai:

"Bring the wine and food to the brothers."

The two jailers were flattered when they saw this and stretched out their hands to take the food box from Ah Cai, saying:

"Thank you, Princess. Thank you, Princess."

Luo Lan was now eager to see Leng Yu, so he didn't talk to them too much. Instead, under the guidance of the prison boss, he went straight to the cell where Leng Yu was.

When she saw Leng Yu sitting there with his eyes half closed, her eyes suddenly turned red and his face looked very ugly.

The jailer quickly opened the cell door for her. Leng Yu frowned and opened her eyes upon hearing the sound.

When he saw Luo Lan, he immediately stood up from the wooden bed, walked quickly to her, and asked with concern:

"Lan'er, why are you here?"

Luo Lan pursed her lips, trying hard to control her tears. She took two steps forward and threw herself into his arms. Before she could say a word, she suddenly burst into tears.

Seeing this, Leng Yu quickly lifted her face, wiped away the tears on her face, and said with a grin:

"Don't cry, my lady, I'm fine!"

Luo Lan looked at the man who had just returned from the battlefield and had not yet had time to wash off his fatigue. He nodded distressedly, pulled him to sit on the somewhat worn wooden bed, and asked with concern:

"My husband has suffered here."

Leng Yu smiled and shook his head, raised his hand again to wipe away the tears on her face, and smiled softly to comfort her:

"It's not hard. It's easier here than on the battlefield. My lady, don't worry about me. Everything will be fine once father's anger subsides."

At this point, he suddenly asked worriedly:

"By the way, did the Emperor send your father after Letu? He didn't really go, did he?"

Luo Lan nodded solemnly.

"At the same time you were imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, the Emperor's oral order arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion. My father has gone back to gather his men, and we will probably be able to leave tomorrow morning."

Leng Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Liu Dechang would not be able to leave until tomorrow morning.

"That's not bad. According to estimates, Le Tu and the others must have reached Hutou Pass in a day and a night. Even if your father and the others galloped, they might not be able to catch up. I'm relieved."

Luo Lan tried hard to suppress the worry in her eyes and looked at him tenderly.

"Well, my father said that he will stay out for a few more days to prevent the emperor from getting suspicious again. But you will have to suffer a little during this period. When my father comes back, he will unite with some ministers to petition the emperor and plead for you."

Hearing the word "begging for mercy", Leng Yu suddenly laughed at himself.

"I always feel that my father is even more stupid than before this time. Although he is old, he should listen to other people's advice. But he didn't even give me a chance to explain. He just got angry with me and locked me up in the prison. I really don't have the energy to explain, nor do I have the time to explain."

\"There's no point in explaining it.\"

Luo Lan thought about what she and Leng Ming had just said in front of the emperor, and shook her head helplessly.

"The emperor is most unwilling to listen to other people's explanations. If he believes that something is right, it is useless for others to refute it. So now we can only wait for my father to come back and find a solution."

Leng Yu raised his hand, held Luo Lan's head in his arms, and said with some regret:

"Say sorry to the children and me. I can't go back to see them for the time being."

"It's okay, the children will understand you. By the way, Leng Xi allowed the Chu people to live in the Prince of Xi's mansion for half a year, and the emperor didn't punish him. He even treated him kindly. Concubine Li said those strange things to Li Tianyang at the gate of the Prince of Xi's mansion that day, but the always suspicious emperor didn't get angry with her for it? Do you think there's something wrong with this?"

Hearing her mention Leng Xi, Leng Yu suddenly thought of the scene at the gate of Xi Wangfu. His brows tightened instantly and he said vigilantly:

"I've always felt that Lengxi had some connection with Concubine Li and those Chu people. Originally, Meng Letu had already left, and the war between Daning and Chu had come to an end. I didn't want to pursue this matter any further. Now that you've mentioned this, I've noticed something's wrong. Yesterday, when I went to see my father, Concubine Li was there too. Her eyes were red, as if she'd been crying. I think she must have concocted something with my father, otherwise he wouldn't have believed her so easily."

Luo Lan looked at him with sparkling eyes, and suddenly she said "Oh" in sudden realization.

"I'll go back and ask Xina. She's been to Prince Xi's Mansion, so maybe she knows something."

When Xina was mentioned, Leng Yu frowned for a moment, then reminded:

"Try not to let Xina get involved in this matter. The Emperor already considers the Chu people his enemies. If he knew that your mother and your sister were from the Chu palace, he might accuse you of something. You'd better be careful."

After Leng Yu's reminder, Luo Lan suddenly felt her heart tremble. Yes, Xina and her mother were from the Chu State, and they were from the Chu Palace. She couldn't let outsiders know about this for the time being.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly stood up and whispered to Leng Yu:

"If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten about it. I'll go back and make arrangements now. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Leng Yu raised his hand, stroked her face gently, and nodded.

"Go ahead, be careful, take a few more people with you when you go out, and tell Xiao Lingzi and the others not to act impulsively."

Leng Yu knows the people around him better than anyone else. When they get impulsive, they dare to even break the sky.

Luo Lan looked at him reluctantly and nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, my husband. I know what to do. But you, take care of yourself."

Leng Yu grinned, revealing a big smile. He raised his hand and scratched her nose, then said with a smile:

"Don't worry, I'm just here to cultivate my character. Let's go back."

Although Luo Lan couldn't bear to leave him here, she had no choice. She bit her lip, opened her arms and hugged him, and whispered in his ear:

"Don't worry, my husband. I will definitely let you go back early."

After saying this, she stood up from him and walked towards the cell door without looking back.

She didn't dare look back, for she was afraid that if she looked back, she would see his eyes full of longing and reluctance and burst into tears.

She didn't want him to worry about her. He would definitely feel bad if he saw her crying.
