The emperor's eyes suddenly turned into one of fear. Leng Yu had been wrongly accused for three years, and now before he could even return to the capital, he was robbed and killed on the way. Who could do such a thing?
Liu Wei lowered his head and did not dare to make any rash conclusions.
The emperor's eyes narrowed, and the worry in the depths of his eyes became even more intense.
The emperor knew that Leng Yu had just regained his identity when he was robbed and killed by someone. It must be that someone didn't want him to reach the capital alive.
Thinking of this, he half-closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then slammed his hand on the dragon table and shouted sternly:
"Liu Wei, I have an order for you. Select a few skilled martial artists from among the imperial guards to protect Prince Yu along the way."
Hearing this, Liu Wei's face was filled with surprise. A few days ago, the emperor asked him to kill people, but now, he asked him to save people.
this……
He clasped his fists and replied solemnly:
"Your Majesty, from what I've observed, if Shui Luolan doesn't return to the capital, Prince Yu probably won't leave Ningluo City for a while. Should we stay there to defend it? Please give your instructions."
Liu Wei's words reminded the emperor, yes, since they had already met there, how could Yu'er come back easily?
Thinking of this, he frowned and said coldly again:
"You failed to do your job well this time. I will give you a chance to atone for your sins. That woman must not be allowed to return to the capital, and she is no longer fit to be Prince Yu's Consort. But no matter what, you must find a way to get Yu'er back. As for how to do it, you can decide for yourself."
Having said that, without waiting for Liu Wei to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Go, I'm tired."
Although Liu Wei knew that it was extremely difficult to let Prince Yu return to the palace alone, he did not dare to refute the emperor's words. Besides, it was indeed his fault this time. Otherwise, he would have killed Shui Luolan long ago, and all this could have been avoided.
Now, she was with Prince Yu, and the guards around her were as skilled as him. If he wanted to assassinate her again, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Thinking of this, he regretted that he had been too cautious before. If he had taken action earlier, there would not be such a thing.
But it was too late to think about anything now, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry out the emperor's orders.
Shui Luolan left the capital, the prince was put in solitary confinement, and Concubine Chang began to look happy. However, she was a little dissatisfied that the emperor did not depose the prince, and Leng Yu's status as a prince was restored.
Sitting in the Dening Palace, she was thinking about something with an ugly look on her face. Ruyi came forward to report,
"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is here."
Hearing this, Concubine Chang frowned. Concubine Li would not come to her Dening Palace easily, so why did she suddenly come today?
She waved her hand and said:
"please."
After a while, Concubine Li came in a long lavender gown. When she came in front of her, she bowed and saluted, "Hello, sister."
Concubine Chang greeted her enthusiastically:
"There's no need to be so polite between us sisters. Please take a seat."
Concubine Chang sat down without any hesitation. She looked at her and asked with some doubt:
"Sister, you always like to tend to the flowers and plants in Liyuan. How come you have time to come and sit with me today?"
Concubine Li raised the handkerchief in her hand, pursed her lips, and said with some resentment:
"I heard Yu'er is coming back, so I wanted to come and congratulate you, sister. He has been re-appointed as a prince by the emperor, which is a great joy. I'm sure the emperor will reward him handsomely when he returns. However, this time the prince got off too easy. He did such a terrible thing, but the emperor's punishment for him was so light. It seems that he still holds a very high position in the emperor's heart."
Having said that, she sighed deeply, looked up at Concubine Chang, whose face was filled with black lines, with some worry, and said:
"Xi'er is the most playful of all the princes, and the least interested in the throne. Yu'er is not your biological child, and his temperament has been tempered for so many years, so he probably won't have any rigidity anymore. I think Ming'er is quite suitable for this position, but I don't know why, after such an incident, the emperor still hasn't abolished the crown prince. This is unfair to you, sister. You have been in charge of the harem for many years, and you are the one who should be crowned queen. If anything happens to the crown prince, the throne will fall on Ming'er. It seems that the emperor is still too partial to the crown prince."
Concubine Li's words were like a thorn in Concubine Chang's heart. Ming'er was all her hope. Over the years, she had gathered her own people in the court, all for the purpose of pushing Ming'er to the top one day.
Right now, Leng Yu and the prince are the biggest stumbling blocks. Ming'er will only have hope if these two people are eliminated.
Thinking of this, she smiled lightly at Concubine Li and said in a nonchalant manner:
"Thank you for reminding me, sister. I'm tired. If you're okay, please go back."
Concubine Li was not anxious, but said again:
"Oh, sister, I heard that a woman in the prince's mansion is pregnant, but this woman was not taken as a concubine by the prince, and... and this woman's husband and child seem to have been killed by the prince."
After saying this, without waiting for Concubine Chang to speak, Concubine Li slowly stood up and bowed gracefully, "Sister, please take a rest first. I will take my leave."
Anyway, what needed to be said had been said, and Concubine Li didn't want to stay here any longer. She stood up with a smile, saluted Concubine Chang, and slowly left.
Her words lingered in Concubine Chang's ears. The Emperor could tolerate Leng Yun's frame-up of Leng Yu, but would he also tolerate his wrongful killing of innocent people? Could he silence the whispers of the people of the world?
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and said sternly to Yu Ma beside her:
"Did you hear what Concubine Li said just now? Go and find out what's going on. Come back and report to me."
"I'll go right away."
Leaving these words behind, Nanny Yu quickly left.
There was a hint of sinisterness in her brows, and she said to another maid:
"Place a few more assassins along the route between the capital and Ningguta. Kill Leng Yu immediately upon sighting him."
When she said this, there was hatred in her eyes, a hatred that seemed to be able to spit out fire.
Ningluo City
The plaque of Huichun Hall was hung up, and the courtyard inside and outside was cleaned. The whole courtyard looked clean and tidy.
Luo Lan specially asked Ahou and Ayu to buy firecrackers. On the opening day, they set off a long string of firecrackers, and the door was crowded with people who came to watch the fun.
After the sound of firecrackers, Luo Lan stood at the door of Huichun Hall and shouted to the people who came to watch the excitement:
"My last name is Luo. You can call me Doctor Luo from now on. In this Huichun Hall, for the next month, anyone who wants to see a doctor will receive free consultation fees. Only the medicine will be charged."
Hearing this, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted,
"Okay, other places charge at least a hundred coins for medical consultation, but yours is free, so we'll all come here."
Someone in the crowd also questioned:
"So, are your medicines expensive? How are your medical skills?"
