Xiao Lingzi suddenly realized something and ran to his side, helping him get on the carriage while whispering,
"Your Highness is so agile that he can hold the princess with one hand. How could he need the help of his servants for such a trivial matter as getting into the carriage?"
"Um?"
Leng Yu looked back at him coldly, raised her lips, and asked sternly,
"What's wrong?"
"No, no."
Xiao Lingzi quickly put on a smile and responded with a grin:
"There's nothing wrong, I just feel the wind is a little sweet today, and it's a little choking."
As soon as he finished speaking, the servants present all covered their mouths and laughed secretly. Leng Yu glanced at them, frowned and said sternly:
"You dare to laugh at me? Come back today and face the wall for an hour."
After he finished speaking, he smiled lightly in the breeze, shook his clothes, and got on the carriage proudly, leaving Xiao Lingzi and others looking at each other in bewilderment below.
Sitting in the carriage, Luo Lan couldn't help but scold:
"You just scare them. You should be more restrained in front of them in the future, so as not to make a fool of yourself."
“Why should we restrain ourselves?”
Leng Yu directly reached out his hand, grasped her hand in his palm, and chuckled proudly, "With such a lady, it's not too late to show off, why should you restrain yourself?"
Luo Lan pursed his lips, smiled helplessly, and then asked softly:
"I just heard from Ah Hong that two imperial doctors and two important officials in the palace had their legs cut off overnight. The perpetrators even left a name, something like: Rebirth Hall. Do you know anything about this?"
Leng Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, the gloom in his eyes overflowed from his eyes, and then he sneered softly:
"Those who do evil will be punished by heaven. They have harmed the people, brought chaos to the court, and attempted to associate with the rebels. Cutting off their legs is a warning. They deserve death."
After saying this, he grabbed Luo Lan's hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said solemnly:
"Lan'er, I'm sorry for hiding something from you."
Hearing him say this, Luo Lan looked at him in surprise and asked doubtfully:
"What's up?"
Leng Yu raised his eyebrows and said with a serious look:
"Do you want to know what I've been busy with during this time?"
"think."
Luo Lan looked at him with half-closed eyes. After they came back from Ningluo City, Leng Yu was indeed a little busy. As for what he was busy with, she did not ask. She just thought he was busy with matters in the court.
Leng Yu tightened his expression and murmured with a dark look in his eyes:
"Originally, I didn't want to tell you about this because I was afraid you'd worry. But after thinking it over, I still feel that we shouldn't keep anything secret from each other, so I still want to tell you that this is something you only need to know about, and you must never mention it to anyone else."
Seeing his serious expression, Luo Lan frowned, pursed her lips and said disdainfully:
"What's going on here that's so mysterious?"
At this moment, Leng Yu had an unfathomable expression on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered in her ear:
"The head of the Rebirth Hall is named: Leng Yu."
What?
As soon as he said this, Luo Lan felt the blood rushing to her head. She opened her mouth in astonishment and looked at Leng Yu, half-believing and half-doubting, and asked,
"You said... you founded the Rebirth Hall?"
Leng Yu held her hand tightly and nodded heavily.
"Yes, after experiencing these disasters, I know very well that without the support of some hidden forces, we simply cannot gain a foothold in this sinister court. Therefore, I planned to build the Rebirth Hall. Although it is not perfect yet, it has taken shape."
At this point, his expression tightened. Seeing that she didn't ask any further questions, he continued, "I didn't discuss this with you because I was afraid you would worry if you knew."
Luo Lan's handsome brows were suddenly filled with confusion. She looked at Leng Yu, pondered for a while, and finally couldn't help asking:
"Were those people injured by you?"
"yes."
Leng Yu nodded without hiding anything, "They deserved to die. I was being lenient towards them by not killing them all."
When he said this, there was a hint of coldness in Leng Yu's eyes, and a frightening look between his brows.
Luo Lan knew that these people were the ones who had taken advantage of Prince Yu's mansion's misfortune in the past three years. The imperial physician in the palace knew that an iron nail had been driven into Leng Yu's leg, but when he reported to the emperor, he did not mention this matter at the instruction of Leng Yun.
Those two court ministers had once received favors from Leng Yu and were considered Leng Yu's followers. However, they took advantage of the situation when Prince Yu's Mansion was at its poorest, brought people to mock Leng Yu, and used this to please Leng Yun. They also used Leng Yun's power to get promoted and make money, bringing harm to the people. Such people should be killed to appease the public anger.
Therefore, Luo Lan did not think there was anything wrong with Leng Yu's behavior. On the contrary, she felt relieved. However, the inexplicable appearance of the Rebirth Hall made her vaguely worried.
She looked at Leng Yu, her face was a little pale. Leng Yu saw this and quickly raised his hand to touch her face, asking with concern,
"Lan'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No."
She shook her head vigorously, then placed her hand on his, took a deep breath, and said slowly:
"Husband, no matter what you do, I have no objection, but you must not hurt yourself, understand?"
"Know."
He looked at her, nodded solemnly, raised his hand to pluck the hair off her forehead, and whispered softly:
"I built this Rebirth Hall just to bring peace to our Prince Yu's Mansion. Oh, and I've taken in Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Shuangzi, Xiao Ningzi, Xiao Tanzi, Zhang Yuan, A Yu, and A Hou. However, they're still working in Prince Yu's Mansion, so no one will know their identities."
Luo Lan nodded, seemingly understanding, and then asked, "Then why do you leave your name behind when you hurt someone?"
Her question brought a hint of coldness to Leng Yu's brow. He raised his eyebrows complacently and said in a cold voice:
"I want to make the people in the court tremble in fear when they hear the name of Rebirth Hall. When they want to do evil, they will think of Rebirth Hall, which robs the rich and helps the poor."
His tone was solemn and full of majesty that made people dare not question it.
After saying this, he turned to look at Luo Lan, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said softly:
"Lan'er, don't mention this to outsiders."
"I know."
Luo Lan pursed her lips and chuckled softly. Leng Yu's handsome eyes only revealed a gentleness like water when he looked at her.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. According to palace rules, they could only enter the palace on foot.
Leng Yu was the first to get off the carriage. Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi hurriedly offered him a stool.
After he got off the carriage, Luo Lan followed closely behind him. He reached out and helped her get off the horse, cautiously looking like a mother who wholeheartedly protects her child.
"Prince Yu, Princess Yu, you are finally here. Something happened in the palace."
Hearing this, Leng Yu's face suddenly darkened. Luo Lan hurriedly asked the eunuch who came to report the news,
"What's wrong? What happened?"
