The place was temporarily in chaos. Luo Lan stepped forward, took out a hemostatic pill and stuffed it into Xiao Lingzi's mouth, then ordered someone to carry him back to the room.

Luo Lan and Leng Yu did not leave his room until Xiao Lingzi was settled.

Standing in the yard, facing the biting evening wind, looking at the remaining crescent moon in the sky, Luo Lan sighed:

"Life is so unpredictable. No wonder Xiao Lingzi lost control of his emotions. They were drinking and chatting happily together a few days ago, but after not seeing each other for a few days, they are gone."

There was a gloomy look on Leng Yu's face. He twisted his lips slightly but didn't say anything.

At this time, A Gang came hurriedly to report,

"Your Majesty, Huang Yun has gone out."

Leng Yu's brows tightened at this moment, and he nodded, "Let Zhang Yuan follow him."

He no longer felt comfortable using anyone else, as Huang Yun was so smart that he had been lurking in Prince Yu's mansion for five years without being exposed.

"yes."

A Gang took the order and retreated. Luo Lan wanted to ask Leng Yu about her plan, but she stopped when the words came to her lips.

"Go check on Huaiyu. I don't want him to get too involved in this matter. He must know more than this. If he can tell me more, maybe... I can help him."

Leng Yu just reminded her carefully, but Luo Lan knew that she was afraid that after the matter was investigated thoroughly, Huaiyu would not be able to get rid of the relationship, which would be difficult to deal with. If Huaiyu was willing to stop now, it might not be too late.

She nodded gratefully.

"I see. Thank you."

Her thank you made Leng Yu stunned for a moment. How long had it been since they had felt so unfamiliar with each other?

However, he did not ask her why she was so polite to him, but sighed quietly:

"There will be a lot of trouble in Prince Yu's Mansion these days. You and the children must be careful."

Leaving these words behind, he turned around and disappeared into the night.

Luo Lan knew that he was holding a grudge against Huaiyu for the death of the twins, and because she began to favor Huaiyu, he found it difficult to let go of her.

But she could understand his feelings. The little twins were like brothers to them, but they were inexplicably killed. It was no wonder that he couldn't accept it. She also found it a little hard to accept.

She looked at Leng Yu's lonely back, feeling a little reluctant but helpless.

When she came to Huaiyu's room, Huaiyu was sitting on the bed with a dull look in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.

He hadn't left the house for two days. Uncle Xiaoshuang's coffin was placed there, and he didn't dare to go and see it. At noon, Agang came to ask him to kowtow to Uncle Xiaoshuang, but he went and came back quickly with his eyes closed.

In addition, he still remembers the dream from last night vividly. He has been doubting whether the dream is true or not, but he dare not ask others because he feels guilty.

Luo Lan had a lot of things to do these two days and had no time to take care of him, so he was able to stay in the house peacefully for two days.

"Huaiyu..."

Luo Lan called out softly. Although she knew that what Leng Yu said might be true, she still wanted to give Huaiyu a chance to explain.

When Huaiyu heard her voice, he shuddered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at her.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Looking at Huaiyu's haggard appearance, Luo Lan sat on the edge of the bed and asked distressedly:

"Huaiyu, what's wrong with you? You don't look well."

Huaiyu hurriedly lowered her head to cover up and shook her head vigorously.

"It's okay, I'm just a little uncomfortable and dizzy."

Luo Lan quickly raised her hand to touch his head, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, she looked at him with concern.

"Are you a little sad because Uncle Xiaoshuang passed away..."

Huaiyu nodded guiltily.

A fierce look appeared in the depths of Luo Lan's eyes, and then he asked,

"No wonder you're sad. When Uncle Xiaoshuang was alive, he was kind to everyone. I remember when you were very young, you got into trouble and your father wanted to spank you. It was Uncle Xiaoshuang who desperately protected you. He even hid you, pleaded for you, and spoke well of you in front of your father. In the end, your father didn't spank you."

At this point, Luo Lan glanced at Huaiyu, and seeing that his face was a little pale, he continued:

"But don't worry, your father won't let Uncle Xiaoshuang die in vain. They've already found the murderer who killed your Uncle Xiaoshuang. I believe they'll be brought to justice in the near future. Then, they'll be dragged to Caishikou and beheaded in public, letting everyone see what the person who killed the great hero of the Daning Kingdom looks like."

Luo Lan's words made Huaiyu feel cold. He shrank his shoulders and his lips trembled.

"Huaiyu, do you know? Those who do evil will not have a good end. It's just that God hasn't had time to settle accounts with them yet. Just like the murderer who killed your uncle Xiaoshuang, he will be punished sooner or later..."

"mother."

Huaiyu called out timidly, pursed her lips, and dared not speak again.

"Huaiyu, do you want to say something?"

Luo Lan really hoped that he could say something at this moment.

After a long silence, Huaiyu said sadly:

"Uncle Xiaoshuang's death is related to me. If I hadn't left home without permission, how could this have happened? Do you think Dad will come after me when he avenges Uncle Xiaoshuang?"

What he said might be a test, or it might be what he was thinking.

Luo Lan's brows tightened. "If you did it unintentionally, your father won't blame you. But if you did it on purpose, not only your father will blame you, but mother will too."

At this point, she looked at Huaiyu. His brows were knitted together, as if he was thinking about something terrible.

Luo Lan continued:
