She felt like she had a lot to say to him, but she didn't know what to say.
Leng Yu patted her back gently, comforting her constantly.
"Don't be afraid, Lan'er. It's okay. It's okay. I was careless. I didn't expect that she would actually attack you..."
Seeing that he was doubting Huang Yun, she quickly broke free from his arms and shook her head to explain.
"Husband, it's not like that. She didn't mean to hurt me. She just wanted to find something to help her hang herself. I'm not scared, I just feel...I feel her death wasn't worth it."
"She came to assassinate me. Even if she didn't die like this, she would have been beheaded. I think this is the most honorable way for her to die."
"But...but do you know why she wants to kill you?"
Leng Yu frowned and looked at her, shaking his head.
“I don’t know…”
"She hates you out of love."
"What?"
Her words left Leng Yu confused.
He looked at her warily.
"My lady, you can't joke about this kind of thing."
"She said this herself. She likes you but can't have you, so she wants to kill you. Although her idea is extreme, but... I always feel pity for her."
Leng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his brows filled with gloom. He didn't want to discuss the matter any further.
After pondering for a while, he turned back to look at her.
"What should we do with that Aqin?"
Luo Lan bit her lip and shook her head.
"Although Ah Qin was passive, it is true that she hurt you. Her crime is no less than Huang Yun's. Her husband was not involved, and those guards did not hurt anyone. I have no opinion on how my husband wants to deal with them."
Leng Yu's eyes were as sharp as arrows. He wished he could cut the woman who wanted to kill him into pieces.
But he could hear what Lan'er said. She actually didn't want him to kill those people.
Besides, none of those people deserved to die except Aqin.
After pondering for a while, he frowned and nodded.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Since Huang Yun is dead, we should beat them up and expel them from Daning Country. Never let them set foot in it again!"
After hearing this, Luo Lan suddenly felt a lot more relieved. She hated Aqin for hurting Leng Yu, but she also sympathized with Aqin.
She would rather sacrifice herself for her man. Such a woman deserves sympathy.
"I thank the Emperor on their behalf..."
Leng Yu looked at her tenderly, then raised his hand and took her into his arms...
…
August 15th
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also the day chosen by Luo Lan to invite the girls of marriageable age from the ministers' families to come to the palace to participate in the flower viewing party.
Everyone knows the real purpose: these girls are here for a blind date today.
All the officials in the court hoped that their daughters of marriageable age would marry Ayu, Ahou, and Xiaotanzi, three very important figures in front of the emperor.
Luo Lan sat in the main seat, looked at the ten women sitting below, and nodded with satisfaction.
These ten women were carefully selected by her. No matter in terms of age, knowledge, father's identity and status, they all matched Ayu and the other three.
The ten women were sitting on the chairs in front of her, embroidering a picture of mandarin ducks according to her request.
In fact, she was not looking at who had better skills, she wanted to see who could keep calm. She had to understand the temperaments of these women in a short period of time.
At this time, Ayu, Ahou, and Xiaotanzi were dressing up carefully according to Luo Lan's instructions.
It was not until the girl had sorted out their clothes that Xiao Tanzi nodded in satisfaction.
"The Queen is so thoughtful. She prepared clothes for us that are just the right size."
Ah Hou was sighing there,
"You look so happy. Have you been having trouble sleeping these past few days? Have you been waiting for this day?"
Xiaotanzi scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"As if you're unhappy, you're always cheerful."
After saying this, they all looked at Ayu. Seeing him sitting there with a sad face, Ahou walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said jokingly:
"Brother Yu, today is such an important day? Why are you so depressed? What's on your mind?"
Ayu seemed to be thinking about something. After he reminded her, she came back to her senses and shook her head.
"No...nothing on my mind."
He said this, but Ah Hou and Xiao Tanzi could see that he was in a bad mood.
Just as Ah Hou was about to comfort him, she heard Ah Hong calling from outside:
"Ayu, come out for a moment."
Hearing Ahong's call, Ayu was stunned for a moment, then walked out quickly.
When he got to the door, he looked at Ah Hong with a cold face.
"What's up?"
Ah Hong frowned and glared at him.
"What? Are you looking for a woman? Are you ignoring me?"
Ayu snorted softly.
"How dare I ignore you? Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Ah Hong pursed her lips.
"I just checked. Among those ten women, two are more suitable for you. One is the daughter of Minister Wu, and the other is the jewel in the crown of Imperial Physician Liu's family. You must act in advance and don't let them get ahead of you..."
"I can choose it myself, so you don't have to worry about it."
Ayu directly rejected her kindness, which made Ahong very angry. She put her hands on her hips and glared at him.
"What do you mean? We've worked together for many years, and I feel like I'm closest to you, so I came to remind you with good intentions. But you're really ungrateful!"
Ayu also replied without hesitation:
"Leave your kindness to others. I don't need it. What kind of woman I want to find is my own business and has nothing to do with others. Please go back!"
