Luo Lan was in a good mood and extorted a large sum of money from Concubine Chang. She estimated that Concubine Chang would send her something in the next two days, and she could get the salary from the palace. This was really a great thing for her.
When she returned to the backyard and saw the four great warriors guarding the door, she gave them a thumbs up.
"You guys have performed well. When we get the silver later, I will reward you each."
Ayu hurried forward and replied first:
"The princess told us to listen only to you. We won't listen even if the king comes."
The Queen also agreed, "Ayu is right. As long as it doesn't cause trouble for the princess, we will do whatever you ask us to do."
Although Ah Cai and Ah Hong did not speak first, their eyes were filled with determination.
Luo Lan nodded in satisfaction at the four people and raised his jade fist as if swearing an oath, "It seems that I didn't choose the wrong person. From now on, in this palace, we must unite against the common enemy."
When the four men saw such a lovely princess, they all raised their fists and looked like they were swearing an oath, which further strengthened their decision to swear allegiance to the princess until death.
Putting down his arms, Luo Lan said to a few people:
"We've been standing for a long time. You guys go back and rest for a while. Tell the kitchen to prepare some millet porridge for the prince in the evening. Add some brown sugar and an egg. Prepare porridge and pickles for me. From now on, the prince and I will eat together."
The four people nodded in agreement and left. Luo Lan pushed the door open and closed it again.
It is late autumn now. Although there is sunshine during the day, it is also a bit chilly. It is safer to close the door, otherwise it would be bad if the guy on the bed catches a cold.
Leng Yu on the bed had already woken up. He heard everything that happened outside the room just now. Concubine Chang, his biological mother, thought of her, a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Luo Lan came to him quietly, and seeing that he had his eyes open, he immediately grinned.
"Your mother came just now. I asked her to come in to see you, but she didn't want to disturb you, so she didn't come in."
Leng Yu suddenly tilted her head and snorted, "She is not my mother."
Hearing this, Luo Lan frowned, but seeing that he was unwilling to mention Concubine Chang, she simply stopped mentioning it and instead lifted the quilt and prepared to help him change the diaper pad.
Leng Yu pursed his lips. He felt that he had no dignity in front of this woman. But it had only been two days. Why did he feel like he wanted to hear her nagging all the time?
Sure enough, after Luo Lan changed his diaper, she began pinching his fingers again and then started nagging.
"I just checked. There's something in your leg. I can't see what it is, but it's inflamed. I'm going to take a few days to reduce the inflammation, and then take it out. Otherwise, if it's in your leg for too long, it'll rot."
Leng Yu just listened quietly without saying a word.
Luo Lan asked curiously:
"Can you tell me what's in your leg? Is it the tip of a sword or a knife from a previous battle?"
“Neither.”
Leng Yu's face suddenly became ugly. He bit his lips hard, as if trying hard to restrain himself from thinking about something.
Seeing this, Luo Lan patted his arm and said, "Okay, don't think about things you don't want to mention. Just wait for me to take the things out."
"What's the point of taking it out?"
He suddenly wailed, "Even if you can make me stand up, I can't survive. I will die sooner or later."
Hearing this, Luo Lan looked at him in astonishment, "What nonsense are you talking about? You are a prince, and your father is the emperor. Who dares to stop you from living?"
"Oh!"
Leng Yu smiled bitterly again, "The one who won't let me live is the emperor you mentioned, and the Concubine Chang you mentioned."
His words once again made Luo Lan look at him with her mouth wide open. She stopped massaging his arm and asked in surprise:
"Why? Could it be that the Emperor is not your biological father? Or that you are a bastard?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she had made a slip of the tongue and her words were a little harsh, so she quickly corrected them.
"What I mean is, since he is your biological father, why would he not want you to live? What hatred is there between you two! Or what..."
At this point, she noticed Leng Yu closing his eyes and clenching his teeth in pain. Luo Lan was afraid that he might lose his temper, so she tried to comfort him:
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to talk about it, then forget it. Let's talk about something else. I asked someone to boil eggs for you tonight. You haven't had them in a while, have you?..."
He didn't seem to be listening to her, and suddenly raised his voice and said sharply:
"He's my biological father, but he's the one who wants me dead the most. My biological mother also wants me dead. If I live one more day, they won't be happy. So, you don't need to save me. It's a waste of time."
His cold words once again stunned her. What parent would wish their child dead? Even animals couldn't be so heartless.
She looked at him with pity. "How could there be such parents in this world? Even if you made a huge mistake, as parents, they shouldn't wish you dead. Is there some hidden secret?"
Leng Yu pursed her bloodless lips and shook her head, "You don't understand, you won't understand."
Luo Lan sighed. Maybe she really didn't understand! Who could understand the affairs of the royal family?
The air was a little stiff for a moment, and the topic seemed a little heavy, so she continued to rub his arms.
At night, she took the tray handed to her by Ah Hong from the door, and the moment she turned around, she said happily:
"The porridge is here! I added eggs for you today."
In the interval of talking, she brought the porridge to the small table beside his bed and muttered,
