Chapter 264 When will Lan Xiyue come back?
Tianyi climbed up from the ground using his hands and feet, his eyes filled with worry, "Master, I'll go get you some food."
"Everyone get out!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Lao and Mo Yifan retreated.
Mo Liyuan hugged Lan Xiyue tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones, "Yuer, you have slept for so long, it's time to wake up, don't sleep anymore." His voice was gentle and low, but it did not elicit any reaction from Lan Xiyue.
Her face was as calm as water, as if she was just in a deep dream and didn't want to wake up.
At this time, Tianyi came in with a tray. On the tray were a bowl of hot porridge and two plates of exquisite side dishes.
He said softly, "Master, please eat something first."
Mo Liyuan acted as if he didn't hear anything and just stared at Lan Xiyue blankly.
Tianyi shook his head helplessly, put the porridge and side dishes on the tea table beside him, and quietly retreated.
Mo Liyuan moved, "Is Yue'er hungry?"
He picked up a bowl of porridge on the tea table, scooped a spoonful, and carefully fed it into Lan Xiyue's mouth.
However, the porridge flowed down the corners of her mouth, just like his broken heart at the moment.
Mo Liyuan put down the bowl, took the handkerchief, and gently wiped the corner of her mouth, his eyes full of gloom, "Yuer, what's wrong with you? What do you want to wake up?" His voice was low and hoarse.
On the other side, the atmosphere at the morning court was solemn.
The captain of the Imperial Guard came hurriedly to report: "Your Majesty, at 11:00 AM today, many men in black broke into the Crown Prince's residence and kidnapped him. The Imperial Guard suffered heavy casualties."
When these words were spoken, the ministers were all shocked, looking at each other and speculating in their hearts.
Could it be the work of the remnants of King Xiaoyao? But what exactly did they intend to do by kidnapping the eldest prince?
The emperor's face was gloomy, his eyes flashing with coldness. "Immediately search the entire city and capture the person who kidnapped the eldest prince! Summon the regent to the palace!"
The ministers all lowered their heads in silence, their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts.
They knew that the emperor was in a bad mood at the moment, but it was not just because the eldest prince was kidnapped. What worried the emperor even more was the forces that kidnapped the eldest prince.
Soon, Eunuch Fu came back panting, "Your Majesty, the people from the Regent's Palace said that the Regent is not available to enter the palace today."
The ministers were all unsurprised by these words, and sighed inwardly. The Regent was incredibly powerful, acting as he pleased, and the Emperor was powerless to do anything about him.
The emperor's face turned grim, and he stood up and left with a flick of his sleeves. Eunuch Fu immediately said, "Dismiss the court!"
Just as Lan Zhenrong was about to step out of the palace gate, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps.
Eunuch Fu came running over, barely catching his breath when he shouted, "Marquis Wu, wait a minute!"
Lan Zhenrong paused, slowly turned around, and stared at Eunuch Fu who was running towards him.
Eunuch Fu ran up to Lan Zhenrong, panting, "Marquis Wu... His Majesty, the Emperor has sent me a message to the Marquis." His voice was low and urgent, "You must expedite the matters the Emperor has instructed you to handle. If the Marquis performs well, the Emperor will reward him handsomely. But if the Marquis dares to delay even a little or even pretend to obey, the Marquis Wu's mansion will be in jeopardy."
Lan Zhenrong's body stiffened involuntarily upon hearing this, his expression instantly becoming complex and indistinct. He forced a smile and said in a dry voice, "Eunuch Fu, please tell the Emperor that I will do my best to see this through."
Eunuch Fu responded and then turned and left.
Looking at Eunuch Fu's back as he walked away, Lan Zhenrong slowly took out a porcelain bottle from his arms with a complicated look.
"Forget it!" Lan Zhenrong sighed inwardly, "Anyway, that evil girl has never been under my control. Even if she marries the Prince Regent, it won't necessarily bring prosperity to the Marquisate. Instead, it will make the Emperor bear a grudge and plunge the Marquisate into an irretrievable situation. I'll just pretend I don't have this daughter!"
Having made up his mind, Lan Zhenrong strode out of the palace and directly ordered the servant beside him to go to Lan Xiyue's current residence.
When Lan Zhenrong stood in front of the Lan Mansion and looked at the extraordinary mansion, a surge of anger instantly surged in his heart.
This evil girl, he's not dead yet, and she dares to set up a new family outside! He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Go knock on the door!"
Upon hearing this, the servant hurried forward and knocked on the door hard.
After a while, a small lantern-shaped head popped out. When he saw Lan Zhenrong, his eyelids twitched, "Master..."
The servant shouted angrily, "The master has come in person, why don't you open the door!"
Little Lantern quickly opened the door and Lan Zhenrong strode in.
As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. After realizing what was happening, Lan Zhenrong became even more furious. The people in the Marquis' Mansion were living in dire straits, but this evil girl was enjoying herself here!
His clenched fists trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed determination and ruthlessness.
When Lan Shenye learned that Lan Zhenrong had arrived, he hurriedly asked Xiao Muzi to push him out.
"Father!"
"Humph! Do you still see me as your father?"
Lan Shenye pursed his lips and said, "Why did you say that, father?"
Lan Zhenrong angrily flicked his sleeves and said, "The Marquis' Mansion is in dire straits. You have the money to buy a house like this, but you are unwilling to contribute money to help the Marquis' Mansion overcome its difficulties. I'm not even dead yet, and you dare to set up your own family?"
"Father, you're wrong. Yueyue only bought this house for me to recuperate..."
Lan Zhenrong interrupted directly: "Where is Lan Xiyue!"
Lan Shenye heard this and said, "Father, Yueyue went out to get medicine for her son."
Lan Zhenrong looked at Lan Shenye's legs and suppressed his anger. "How are your legs? Can they recover?"
Lan Shenye looked down at his legs and said, "Father, my legs are recovering."
Lan Zhenrong's eyes lit up, "Can your leg really be healed?"
Lan Shenye nodded, "Thanks to Yueyue."
Lan Zhenrong's face fell when he heard this, "When will Lan Xiyue come back?"
"It's hard to say. Yueyue said there's a rare herb. Maybe she went out of town to look for it in the mountains. Father, if you have anything to do with Yueyue, why don't you tell your son? I'll tell her when she comes back."
