Looking at Luo Lan in front of him, Leng Yun's heart felt itchy as if being scratched by a cat's claws.
He swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said in a flattering manner:
"I understand your suffering. Don't worry, I will take good care of you..."
Luo Lan cleared his throat, blinked at him, and nodded slowly:
"Okay, then it's settled. Your Highness shouldn't stay here for too long, or it might arouse suspicion."
Leng Yun naturally agreed and nodded continuously:
"We agreed that tomorrow at 11:00 AM, you must not break your promise."
Luo Lan nodded seriously, with a hint of shyness in her eyes.
"Luo Lan has been dreaming of spending the night with the Crown Prince. How could she have said something so wrong? Crown Prince, please go back. Keeping the patients outside waiting for too long will cause a disturbance."
Leng Yun still rubbed his hands impatiently and nodded vigorously.
"Okay, my dear Lan'er, this prince will definitely treat you well."
Leaving these words behind, he left Huichun Hall reluctantly, looking back every few steps.
Looking at his back, Luo Lan snorted in disdain.
Leng Yun, you have evil intentions towards me. If I don't take advantage of it, I would be really sorry for you.
Even after leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, Leng Yun was still immersed in the beautiful dream woven for him by Luo Lan, fantasizing about the wonderful moment tomorrow night.
At this time, a servant came over.
"Your Highness, are we still going to the Ministry of Justice?"
Leng Yun frowned and looked at him, "What are you going to the Ministry of Justice for?"
"Prince, have you forgotten? You said yesterday that you would go to the Ministry of Justice to pick up Xiao Zhuzi today..."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Leng Yun quickly tapped his head with the fan in his hand. "Look at my memory. I was so happy that I forgot about this matter. This prince had a lot of trouble getting him from Shuntian Prefecture to the Ministry of Justice. I spent ten thousand taels of silver to bribe people. This little pillar, this prince is really generous to him."
Having said this, he got into the carriage, called the servants, and drove the carriage to the Ministry of Justice.
…
After returning to the palace, Concubine Chang went straight to the emperor's study. Normally, she would rarely go to the study unless there was something important, and the emperor did not allow these concubines to go to the study to find him easily.
The emperor was looking at the memorial in his hand. When he saw her come in, he frowned and asked:
"What's up?"
Concubine Chang bowed and nodded slowly.
"Something's going on."
"Speak!"
The emperor didn't even raise his head. Ever since he knew that she didn't care enough about Leng Yu's affairs, his attitude towards Concubine Chang became much colder.
"Your Majesty, I have received a secret report that the current Princess Yu is not the real Shui Luolan. I originally wanted to ask her, but she denied it. Therefore, I come to ask Your Majesty, should this matter be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment?"
Hearing this, the emperor suddenly looked up at her and asked in confusion,
"What do you mean? Who is doubting Princess Yu?"
Concubine Chang straightened her expression and replied seriously:
"The person who mentioned this to me was Shui Luolan's aunt. She heard that Princess Yu danced amazingly at my birthday party and played the pipa beautifully. Not only that, she could compose poetry and heal people. She suspected that this Shui Luolan was not her niece. Because her niece Shui Luolan grew up in the countryside, she didn't even know what a pipa looked like, let alone how to play and dance with it. Moreover, her niece didn't know any medical skills, had never read a book, and couldn't recite poetry. So she filed a complaint with me, suspecting that her real niece Shui Luolan had been harmed by this fake Shui Luolan."
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes were filled with astonishment. He looked at Concubine Chang with scorching eyes and questioned her word by word.
"You are the one who found this woman. I don't know if she is real or fake, so just deal with her."
"But Your Majesty, I went to question her, but she denied it. Before I left, I told her to give her three days. If she doesn't reveal who she is within those three days, I'm considering handing her over to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation. This matter is of great importance, so I ask Your Majesty for your opinion."
The emperor put down his pen, frowned and asked slowly:
"Has she done anything to hurt Yu'er since she came to Prince Yu's Mansion?"
Concubine Chang pondered for a moment and slowly shook her head, "No, but she doesn't let anyone see Yu'er, so no one knows how Yu'er is doing now."
Hearing this, the emperor raised his hand and looked at her. "Pa", she suddenly slammed the table heavily and roared:
"What did you say? You don't let people see Yu'er? Even you, as her mother, can't see her?"
Concubine Chang bowed slightly and replied timidly in a low voice:
"Yes, I am stupid. I thought that as long as she took good care of Yu'er, it would be fine. Yu'er has been resentful of me for not pleading for her all these years and didn't want to see me, so I just didn't see her. But who would have thought that her aunt would come to me the day before yesterday to file a complaint, so I became suspicious of her identity. I am not thoughtful enough, and I hope Your Majesty will punish me."
"snort!"
The Emperor suddenly flew into a rage and snorted, "You are Yu'er's mother, yet you haven't even seen him and yet you haven't harbored any suspicions. This shows that you don't truly care about him. You truly disappoint me."
"I was wrong, Your Majesty, please forgive me. However, the most important thing now is to find out the identity of Shui Luolan. I suspect that she has other purposes in getting close to Yu'er and then sneaking into the palace. I am afraid that this will be detrimental to Your Majesty. Therefore, I dare not take this matter lightly. I ask Your Majesty to make the decision."
As she finished speaking, a hint of coldness appeared in the emperor's eyes, with a hint of sneer.
He stood up and paced back and forth in the imperial study with his hands behind his back. Concubine Chang stood there, waiting for him to speak.
