After Luo Lan said this, Ruyi was speechless, and Concubine Chang even said to her directly and coldly:
"Shut up and stand aside."
Ruyi knew that she had just said the wrong thing because she wanted to show off, so she could only lower her head and stand aside in disappointment.
Concubine Chang looked at Luo Lan, frowned and sighed:
"Actually, I think you're doing quite well now. You can practice medicine, dance, play the guitar, and write poetry. You can accompany Yu'er and save him from loneliness. But the Emperor, after listening to the slander of some people, has refused to allow this. He insists that I investigate the matter. So, if you don't explain who you are and what your purpose is in sneaking into Prince Yu's mansion today, I'm afraid the Emperor won't tolerate it and will hand you over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation. You can imagine the consequences without me having to tell you."
When she said this, it seemed like she was considering Luo Lan, but in fact it was full of threats, and Luo Lan could naturally hear it.
She looked at Concubine Chang with a mixture of laughter and tears, frowned and said softly:
"What does Your Majesty want me to say? I'm Shui Luolan. If Your Majesty truly doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Even if you hand it over to the Emperor, I can't do anything about it."
Concubine Chang suddenly raised her eyebrows and shouted sternly:
"Since you insist on doing this, I can only inform the Emperor of this matter and hand you over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial. You will be on your own."
Leaving these words behind, she stretched out her hand to the girl beside her. The girl hurried forward to help her up. When she passed Luo Lan, she said coldly again:
"I admire you very much. I'll give you three days to think about it. As long as you explain your life story and your purpose for approaching the royal family, perhaps I can plead for you with the emperor. Even if I can't let you stay with Yu'er, I can still give you a way out. Don't be ungrateful."
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows, bowed and replied:
"Thank you for your consideration, Madam."
Concubine Chang glanced at her sideways, gave her a cold look, and left, followed closely by a group of servants.
As soon as Concubine Chang left, Acai, Ahong and Liu Mei surrounded her with some confusion.
"Princess, what's going on? Why would she doubt your identity?"
"Yes! If you talk about this, it's really strange. Everyone knows that the princess is from the countryside, but the princess knows too much, which inevitably arouses suspicion."
"Then what should we do? Princess, no matter who you are, you have no second thoughts about the prince, and you take good care of him. Even if you tell this to the emperor, you will be fine."
Listening to what these women said, Luo Lan smiled bitterly for no reason. His eyes wandered for a moment, and he said coldly:
"I just took too good care of the prince. Otherwise, no one would suspect me. But it's okay. I'm not afraid. A person with integrity fears no evil. I am Shui Luolan, and I am Shui Luolan."
Having said that, she still had a faint worry in her heart. After all, she was powerless and the Prince Yu's Mansion was already in danger. Even if Leng Yu had feelings for her, he had no say in front of the emperor. If the emperor really handed her over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation, she would inevitably be beaten and forced. She would then be helpless and would not be able to get help from heaven or earth. When Leng Yu came back, she would harm Leng Yu because of this.
It seems that she needs to think of a way to deal with this matter.
Thinking of this, she sighed and waved to Ah Hong, "Open the door and let the patient in!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ah Gang rushed in and said solemnly:
"Princess, the Crown Prince and Prince Xi are here."
Hearing the names of these two people, Luo Lan's brows tightened. Concubine Chang had just left, and these two people came together again today. What are they going to do? This Prince Yu's Mansion is really crowded!
Before she could speak, the prince's voice came over.
"Why has Prince Yu's Mansion become so deserted recently? Are there fewer servants? Where have they all gone?"
Hearing this, Luo Lan felt a little worried. The disappearance of Ayu, Ahou and Zhang Yuan together would inevitably arouse other people's suspicion, especially the prince who was eyeing Prince Yu's Mansion.
However, she still calmed herself down, sat in the head seat, and looked towards the door with a sharp gaze.
Leng Yun and Leng Xi came to the front of the hall and sat on the left and right sides respectively, as if they were very familiar with each other.
Looking at the two familiar people, Luo Lan frowned, "It's really rare for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Xi to come to Prince Yu's Mansion together."
Leng Yun half-closed his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were a little more profound.
"This prince has come here today specifically to thank Princess Yu. Xiaoyu has gotten much better since taking your medicine. So, I came here today to ask Princess Yu to check her pulse when she has time to help her conceive."
Thinking of that poor woman Xiaoyu, Luo Lan's heart ached. She had been comforting Dazhi these days. If Dazhi knew that Leng Yun was coming, he would definitely come out to seek revenge on him at all costs.
So she winked at Agang, who understood and slowly backed out.
She pursed her lips and said to Leng Yun:
"Since Xiaoyu is my patient, I will naturally not ignore her. However, there are many things going on in the mansion recently. Let her take the medicine according to the prescription first. I will visit her in a few days."
Leng Yun frowned, looked around, and asked in surprise:
"What is Princess Yu busy with? Oh, how is Fourth Brother? Why are there fewer servants in your house? Where is that most annoying Empress? And that dismissed captain of the police..."
As he said this, his eyes kept looking around, and Leng Xi also agreed.
"Yes! How is my fourth brother? I heard that Concubine Chang just came here, and she also came to see the fourth brother?"
The way these two people sang in unison made Luo Lan frown. Leng Yu had been away for more than a month. According to calculations, he should have arrived in Ningguta soon. No one knew how he was doing now.
Seeing Luo Lan pondering, Leng Yun's deep eyes revealed a sinister look, and then he said:
"I heard there's unrest in Ningguta, and I don't know where the person who escaped a few months ago has gone. I suspect this incident is related to that person. You must tell Fourth Brother to stop associating with these people, otherwise, the entire Prince Yu's Mansion will be in jeopardy..."
His words were full of ridicule and warning, and Luo Lan's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
The incident in Ningguta must be related to Leng Yu. If the emperor knew that Leng Yu had recovered and personally went to Ningguta to rescue her, then Leng Yu, who was under house arrest for life, would be unable to explain the matter even if he had a hundred mouths. The final result would be that the entire Yu Palace would either be executed or exiled to the frontier. She and Leng Yu would have no way out but death...
No, she absolutely couldn't let this happen.
Thinking of this, she frowned, and there was a hint of darkness in her pretty eyes.
She tried her best to calm herself down and slowly said:
"Your Highness is incredibly well-informed. Ningguta is thousands of miles away from here. Even if we gallop, it would take us half a month or ten days to get there. Where did you get this information?"
