Leng Yu nodded with no expression on his face.
At this time, Dazhi's mother came forward, bowed, and said softly:
"Your Highness, we should have left, but Prince Yu's Mansion was sealed, so we were delayed here for so long. Tong'er won't go with you. He's the only male in the Zhang family, and we're counting on him to take over the family business."
Leng Yu looked at Dazhi, and when he walked in front of her, she patted him on the shoulder and said softly,
"Dazhi, go back and run your business well. Our lives are so uncertain. I hope we'll meet again someday if we have the chance."
Dazhi nodded heavily with a depressed look on his face. "Your Majesty, please give my regards to my sister and ask her to take care of herself. I will visit her when I have the chance."
Leng Yu didn't expect Dazhi to be so open-minded. He felt a little comforted for Luo Lan.
Like Xiaozhi, Agang and Ali are willing to follow Leng Yu.
After Xiao Lingzi distributed the salaries to the other servants, he asked them to leave one after another. At this time, only Dazhi, Liu Meir, and the siblings Agang and Ali were left in Prince Yu's Mansion. Looking at the huge Prince Yu Mansion, Leng Yu sighed and said to these people:
"Pack your things, we'll be on the road tomorrow morning."
After hearing what he said, everyone went to pack up their things, and he went to the backyard, where he had lived for three years.
This place is still the same as before. The crutches and wheelchair that Lan'er made for him are still there. If it weren't for Lan'er, he would never want to recall the past three years in his life. But Lan'er appeared here, and this place became a beautiful memory for him.
He stroked everything Lan'er prepared for him, recalled every moment he spent with her, and thought about the scene when he first met her. His heart suddenly felt warm, and two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.
He had promised her that he would take good care of her, but now he had made her live a life of wandering and even being hunted by others.
Thinking of the person who wanted to kill her, Leng Yu's mouth curled up indifferently, and the disappointment in her eyes was beyond words.
In the past, he thought his father was just blinded. He was a good father and a good emperor...
But now, he felt that his father was a ruthless man. He actually sent assassins to kill the woman who saved his son's life. This was something that was simply incomprehensible and deeply hateful.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then A Gang ran in.
"Your Highness, someone is coming from the palace..."
Hearing this, Leng Yu's dark pupils suddenly turned frost-covered, and he murmured:
"They're really fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Xi walked in quickly. When he came to him, he looked him up and down, and suddenly grinned, revealing a set of incomplete teeth.
"Prince Yu, you are still as heroic as before. The emperor invites you to come."
Leng Yu disdains other people's compliments, but Liu Xi has been nice to him before, and he is not a person who speaks sweet words, so he should still be polite to Liu Xi.
"Okay, please lead the way, eunuch."
Since the emperor asked him to go, he couldn't hide away, so he might as well go and meet him, and make his position clear to prevent him from having any murderous intentions towards Luo Lan again.
The palace carriage was waiting outside the door, and it looked like it was prepared for him. Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi followed closely behind. When he was about to step onto the carriage, Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Tanzi ran out from somewhere. When they saw him, they hurried forward and saluted, saying:
"Your Majesty..."
Leng Yu's brows tightened, a hint of surprise appeared between his brows, and he asked in a hoarse voice:
"Where have you been?"
Xiao Ningzi and Xiao Tanzi lowered their heads and whispered, "Wang Ta, we just arrived in the capital."
Hearing this, the quick-talking twins looked at them in surprise. "You guys came back on a turtle? You left ten days earlier than us, so how come you're here later than us?"
Xiao Ningzi's face was as cold as ice, and it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it. He whispered back:
"We were ambushed on the road, and Xiaotanzi was injured, so we were delayed. Please punish us, Your Highness."
Listening to Xiao Ningzi's words and looking at the two of them in a state of disarray, Leng Yu felt a pang of distress in his heart. He said to A Gang who was standing at the door:
"Get them something to eat and let them rest."
After he finished speaking, he stepped onto the carriage without looking back, and a feeling of sadness and guilt suddenly surged in his heart.
He followed his brothers and suffered for three years in an extremely cold place like Ningguta. Now that he has returned, someone is trying to hunt them down. He suddenly felt that he had thought things too simply, and that the quiet life he wanted might not be that easy.
The carriage was bumping along the road. He closed his eyes slightly, but felt extremely melancholy in his heart.
Ever since he came back from Ningguta, some people wanted him dead. He was lucky to be able to reach the capital alive, but his return was bound to offend some people, and those people would definitely attack him. As for who they would be, he knew, and he would not let them succeed.
The carriage stopped steadily at the gate of the palace. The moment he got off the carriage, his pupils were locked. He had not been here for three years. He felt unfamiliar with this place. The high walls and large courtyard made him feel depressed.
Ever since Liu Xi left the palace, the emperor had been sitting in the imperial study waiting for his arrival. He had not seen his son for three years, and as a father, he had almost forgotten what he looked like.
When Liu Xi brought Leng Yu into Yu's study, his eyes suddenly turned red when he saw his familiar son.
"Your Majesty, I am an unfilial son. Please accept my respect."
After he finished speaking, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed.
The emperor suddenly stood up from the dragon throne, trembling, and came to him. He lifted him up with both hands and said in a hoarse and distressed voice:
"Yu'er, I...I feel so ashamed of you, please get up quickly."
Leng Yu appeared sincere to the emperor, but was actually very angry with him in her heart.
He slowly stood up, still with his head bowed. Seeing this, the Emperor said to him softly,
"Raise your head and let me see you."
Leng Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes immediately changed from being as deep as a wolf to being empty. When he looked at the emperor, he showed no surprise or joy, and did not even have a trace of expression.
The emperor looked at his face, tears streaming down his slightly aged cheeks. He placed his hands on his arms and said in a trembling voice:
"Yu'er, you've lost weight."
“I feel a lot lighter after losing weight.”
The emperor half closed his eyes and listened to his answer, tears welling up in his eyes, it was unclear whether it was regret or something else.
"Are you hating your father's stupidity?"
He suddenly released the hands on his arms, walked slowly to the window, put one hand on the window frame, and held the mahogany window frame in annoyance.
A hint of sneer appeared in Leng Yu's cold eyes, but he replied against his will:
"I don't blame my father, I only blame myself."
