Leng Xi shrugged, looking innocent, and replied calmly:

"I went to the toilet. I've been eating light meals at Prince Xi's Mansion lately. I'm not used to all the big fish and meat. I only eat some meat occasionally, but I feel a little upset."

Yu Qiaoqiao stood beside him and glared at him with disdain. She didn't want to listen to Leng Xi's nonsense.

She smiled lightly at Luo Lan and said:

"Princess Yu, it's getting late. We should go back. You've been tired all day. You should go back and rest early too."

Luo Lan looked at Yu Qiaoqiao, who had a calm face, and nodded in response:

"Okay, go ahead."

Yu Qiaoqiao nodded to her, took Xiaobao's hand and walked forward.

Seeing this, Leng Xi also bowed to Leng Yu and followed with big strides.

Looking at their backs, Luo Lan gnashed his teeth angrily and said:

"I always feel that this matter is related to Lengxi."

Leng Yu shook his head in disagreement.

"Leng Ming did this while he was sober. Leng Xi wasn't there at the time. He can't be blamed on anyone else, and no one forced him to do it. I'll definitely punish him later."

"Husband, don't let this matter get out, otherwise it will ruin Xue'er."

"But...but Luo Xue was...was..."

Thinking of Luo Xue's appearance just now, Luo Lan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in reply:

"Luo Xue was bullied by Leng Ming, but it was limited to kisses and hugs. There were no more serious consequences. Let's not make things more complicated."

Leng Yu was puzzled by Luo Lan's words.

"How did you know, my lady? When I came in, they clearly..."

"You only saw Leng Ming kissing Luo Xue. Did you see anything else? Besides, Luo Xue was poisoned by Hehuan Powder. If Leng Ming had succeeded, her poison would have been cured long ago. When we arrived, the poison was still in her body. Moreover... her clothes were intact. Also, she is a grown woman. If her virginity was broken, she would have bled. So I conclude that her innocence is still there, and that bastard Leng Ming just took advantage of her with his words."

After hearing her explanation, Leng Yu's tense nerves relaxed a little, but he still sighed worriedly:

"Although she still has her innocence, Leng Ming has already boasted about it. Given her stubborn personality, if she knew about this after waking up, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to get over it. You should spend more time with her in the next few days!"

"I'm also worried. The Hehuan Powder can temporarily control a person's nerves, but tomorrow morning, when Luo Xue wakes up, she will clearly remember what happened. So... I'm afraid this memory will remain in Xue'er's memory."

It turned out that just now, in order to prevent the Hehuan Powder from tormenting Luo Xue again, Luo Lan gave her an injection of sedative to let her sleep temporarily. When she learned that the emperor was bringing people here, she ordered Xiao Lingzi to take her out of the palace.

A trace of sadness flashed in Leng Yu's eyes again.

"By the way, how did you know I was in Qingyu Garden? Was I also tricked by someone else?"

Luo Lan shook his head.

"I originally wanted to go back with Luo Xue to watch the fireworks, but after asking around, I heard from a little palace maid that Luo Xue had asked her about the location of Qingyu Garden. Leng Xi and Leng Ming weren't there at the time, so I was worried something might have happened to her, so I came here. Luckily, you got here before me, otherwise...otherwise, something might have happened."

"But who could be the person who delivered the message to me and tricked Father and the others into coming here?"

"No matter who it is, this person's purpose is very clear. He arranged this drama and waited for the emperor to see it. He wants to destroy Xue'er and you too..."

Luo Lan's words made Leng Yu look alert immediately.

Luo Lan continued:

"I think this matter is related to Leng Xi. At noon today, I saw Leng Xi and Leng Ming talking about something together. They must be plotting this matter."

"Could it be that Leng Xi is trying to deal with me?"

"It's very likely that this is his purpose for entering the palace this time. My husband, you must be more careful with him in the future."

"I know."

Leng Yu held her hand and comforted her softly:

"I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."

Luo Lan hurriedly shook his head, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and then he said:

"If he really did this, then he's trying to kill three birds with one stone. He's not just trying to deal with you, he's also trying to deal with Leng Ming and my father. This guy is truly despicable."

"Don't think about it for now. It's getting late, and Yicheng is still at home. This is his first Mid-Autumn Festival here, and we can't let him feel disappointed. Let's go back early!"

"Well, my husband is really thoughtful. By the way, I got Yicheng a few mooncakes from the palace. I'll bring them back for him to try later..."

The two of them talked while holding hands and walked into the darkness...

When they returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, it was already past midnight. As soon as they entered the door, Ah Gang came over and said helplessly:

"Prince, Princess, you are finally back. The ladies and gentlemen are all asleep, but Yicheng...he won't sleep!"

Luo Lan and Leng Yu looked at each other, then hurriedly walked towards Yi Cheng's room.

At this time, Yi Cheng was sitting at the door of the room, his hands resting on his chin, looking at the sky in a daze.

"Yi Cheng..."

Seeing his thin figure sitting there alone, Luo Lan called out distressedly, then came to his side and asked with concern:

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

When Yi Cheng saw Luo Lan and Leng Yu, he immediately grinned.

"Foster father, foster mother, you said before you left that you would come back to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Yicheng. Yicheng will naturally wait for you. If I fall asleep first, won't I be a child who doesn't keep his word?"

this……

Leng Yu suddenly felt a little sorry for the child. He actually took their casual words seriously.

He and Luo Lan sat on either side of him. Luo Lan held up the mooncake bag in her hand, opened it, and said gently:

"Yi Cheng is so good! Mother thought we should save the mooncakes for tomorrow, but now it seems that's not necessary."

Yi Cheng looked at the mooncake in Luo Lan's hand and suddenly his eyes became wet. Luo Lan handed a mooncake to him. He bit his lip and took it tremblingly.

"Yicheng, what's wrong with you? Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, you can't cry."

Yi Cheng hurriedly shook his head and wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve. "I am happy. Thank you, stepmother, thank you, stepfather. This mooncake must be delicious."

As he spoke, he broke the mooncake in half with his hands and gave one to Leng Yu and Luo Lan. They both took one without hesitation and accompanied Yi Cheng on the full moon night, eating the mooncakes in their hands and looking at the moon in the sky...

At this moment, Yi Cheng felt that he was the happiest person in the world. Not only had he transformed from a hungry and cold beggar into the young master of Prince Yu's Mansion, but his adoptive father and mother also valued him so much that they did not forget to celebrate the festival with him even at this late hour.

This night will eventually become the most unforgettable memory of his childhood, and will also make his life a little warmer from now on.
