His words completely angered the emperor. He turned around, looked at him coldly, and asked him sternly with a sullen face,
"Are you serious?"
Leng Yu nodded without hesitation, "Seriously, please grant me your blessing, Father."
"absurd."
The emperor suddenly swung his sleeves, and as his chest rose and fell, it was obvious that his anger had spread throughout his body.
Leng Yu frowned and looked down at his feet, but he had already made up his mind. The emperor's slanderous words against Luo Lan were enough to make him stay away from here.
"roll!"
The emperor turned his back to him in disappointment, and spat out this word in hatred.
Leng Yu saluted the emperor with a fist, then turned and left without looking back.
At this time, Liu Xi, who was standing outside the door, saw him coming out and hurriedly followed him, whispering to Leng Yu:
"Prince Yu, please stay."
Leng Yu stopped striding forward and stood still coldly, "What's the matter?"
Liu Xi walked quickly to him, bowed and saluted, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Prince Yu, the Emperor knew you were back and had the Imperial Kitchen prepare a luncheon for you. You and your son haven't seen each other for three years, so why are you arguing right now? This old servant believes that the Emperor has always held Prince Yu in the highest regard, and this will remain the case. Therefore, Prince Yu, please be cautious in your actions. Please also consider carefully: as a member of the Imperial family, is it so easy to escape? When you were a prince, some people were wary of your status and wouldn't do anything to you. But if you truly become a commoner, will anyone still give you that respect? Can you guarantee that you can live the rest of your life in peace?"
Although there was concern in Liu Xi's words, Leng Yu could tell that they contained warnings and threats.
Yes! As a member of the royal family, he can't just become a commoner if he wants to. But for Lan'er, no matter how many difficulties there are, he will overcome them.
Thinking of this, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he whispered:
"Thank you for the reminder, Eunuch Liu. Goodbye."
After saying this, he continued to stride forward without stopping for a moment.
Liu Xi frowned, turned around quickly and returned to the imperial study.
Looking at the emperor who was standing at the window angrily looking at Leng Yu's back, he stepped forward and saluted:
"emperor……"
The emperor did not even turn his head and said coldly:
"Did you see that? My Yu'er is abandoning me, his father, for that woman."
Liu Xi looked in the direction of the emperor's eyes, sighed secretly, and replied softly and slowly:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Although that woman's identity is suspicious, she was by Prince Yu's side during his most difficult time. It was also she who cured his leg disease. If Prince Yu is ruthless to this woman, then he is truly a heartless person. Therefore, I believe that it is understandable that Prince Yu has fallen in love with that woman. Rather than Your Majesty harboring grudges against Prince Yu over this matter, it would be better for you to revoke your order and allow that woman to enter the capital. We can take our time with future matters..."
As he said this, his eyes turned cunningly. The emperor looked back at him, his brow furrowed, and asked:
"Your words make sense. It seems I haven't considered it enough. Yu'er has been blinded by that woman and can't distinguish right from wrong. He is stubborn by nature. It seems that only when he sees the true face of that woman will he leave her completely."
Seeing that the emperor had listened to his words, Liu Xi bowed again and continued:
"Your Majesty is absolutely right. New Year's Eve is almost here, and everyone must have heard about Prince Yu's rehabilitation. If Prince Yu isn't seen when the princes from various countries gather in Beijing to celebrate the New Year, there will undoubtedly be much speculation. Furthermore, the Crown Prince is unfit to attend such a grand occasion during his confinement, and Princes Xi and Ming aren't strong enough to carry the ceremony. This old servant believes it would be best if Prince Yu appeared at the banquet welcoming the princes."
"yes!"
When the emperor finished speaking, he sighed deeply, his eyes filled with tears, and he said slowly:
"I was too anxious and thoughtless. The foreign kings are eager to see me perform, especially King Zhennan. He hasn't been back for twenty years. I can't let him see me perform!"
Liu Xi nodded hurriedly and agreed:
"Your Majesty, it's not too late to revoke your order now. Just now, I saw the maidservant beside Concubine Chang waiting for Prince Yu. I believe that Prince Yu has already been summoned to Dening Palace..."
Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him thoughtfully, "Go to Dening Palace and see if Concubine Chang dares to embarrass him, I will definitely not forgive her..."
Having said this, he sighed deeply toward the sky and murmured:
"After all, she's not my biological mother. There's truth to the saying that you can't stick mutton to dog meat. Alas!"
"I understand."
After receiving the order, Liu Xi retreated and went directly to Dening Palace.
At this time, Leng Yu stood in front of Concubine Chang, with no expression on his face. He did not perform any great greetings to him, but just stood there with his head bowed coldly.
Concubine Chang looked at Leng Yu standing in front of her, raised her handkerchief to cover the corner of her mouth, and said softly:
"Yu'er, seeing you standing in front of me, I'm so happy. I've wronged you over the years."
Leng Yu secretly pulled the corners of his mouth, sneered in disdain, and his voice was even more contemptuous as he murmured:
"I'm not wronged. Thank you for taking care of Yu'er over the years. Yu'er will always remember it."
He still remembers the piercing pain when the iron nail was driven into his leg and is even reluctant to mention it.
In the past, he thought she was his mother. Even though he hated her for being so cruel, he also thought that she was disappointed in him.
