Luo Lan frowned slightly. She knew that Leng Yu was just trying to comfort her by saying this. If such a young child was really taken away from here and someone really wanted to harm him, he would definitely be in great danger and his hope of survival would be slim.
She lowered her eyelids and nodded gently. She didn't even dare to say a word. She just felt weak all over. Seeing this, Ahong and Acai hurried over to support her. She waved to them. She couldn't fall down now. She had to see that Xiaozhi was safe.
Leng Yu dodged and quickly stepped onto the ladder. After a while, he stood on the high wall. Xiao Lingzi, Xiao Shuangzi and others also climbed up.
Looking down from above, Leng Yu's brows furrowed even more. Behind the courtyard wall, there were only weeds growing everywhere. How could it be a garden? It was clearly just an abandoned field of weeds.
Suddenly, Xiao Lingzi pointed to the wall and said:
"Look, my lord, there's a ladder here."
Leng Yu looked in the direction of his finger and saw a ladder leaning against the wall.
Without saying anything, Leng Yu climbed down the ladder, followed closely by Xiao Lingzi and others.
Luo Lan was getting really impatient, and after Ah Hong and Ah Cai’s dissuasion failed, she climbed up the ladder and stood on the high wall. Looking at the overgrown area, her heart was in her throat.
She didn't dare to make a sound. She covered her mouth with her hands, squatted on the wall, and watched Leng Yu and others searching in the weeds quietly.
She kept praying in her heart: Nothing must happen to Xiaozhi. He is still a child, only eight years old, and he is so smart.
She suddenly felt a little regretful. If she hadn't forced him to do so, he wouldn't have entered the palace. If he hadn't entered the palace, the accident wouldn't have happened...
She couldn't control herself from having wild thoughts. She felt very helpless at the moment, and her whole body was shaking.
At this moment, the voices of the twins in the corner broke the silence.
"My Lord, here."
The few people who were searching below hurriedly ran towards the location of the twins. At this time, Luo Lan's eyes were also fixed on the location of the twins.
He picked up a little man in crimson clothes from the grass. His hands hung down and he was held in the arms of the little twins like cotton, motionless.
Seeing this scene, Luo Lan covered her mouth directly. She really couldn't believe that this was the lively and cute Xiao Zhi. Her tears kept falling down her cheeks.
Seeing this, Acai and Ahong hurriedly helped her down the ladder. At the same time, Leng Yu and others brought Xiaozhi back from the weeds.
The news that Xiaozhi was found quickly spread to Baohe Hall. Not only the Prince of Zhennan, but everyone including the Emperor rushed to check it out as soon as possible.
Time was running out, so Luo Lan ordered people to leave Xiao Zhi where he was. She wanted to check if he could be saved.
She closed her eyes tightly and placed her fingers on his pulse with trembling hands. At this time, Xiaozhi was unconscious, had no pulse, and could not breathe on his own. After receiving this information, she suddenly knelt on the ground, placed her hands on his chest, and began to press hard, once, twice, three times... in an attempt to use cardiopulmonary resuscitation to pull him back from the hands of death.
At this moment, Leng Zian rushed over like crazy. Without saying anything, he pushed Luo Lan away and hugged Xiao Zhi in his arms, wailing non-stop.
"What are you doing? Don't touch him, my son, my son, what's wrong with you? Who killed you? Open your eyes and look at your father! Ah..."
He kept shaking his body, but Xiao Zhi remained motionless, and there was not a trace of blood on his face which was as pale as paper.
"Xiaozhi, my son, you just called me father, how could you be gone like this? How can I live without you? Ah..."
Leng Zian's cries echoed throughout the palace. The emperor, who was always cold-hearted, couldn't help but turn his face away and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes.
Liu Dechang and Huang Shixiong also clenched their fists, with a hint of redness in their eyes. The faces of the Wu family father and son showed no joy or sorrow. Leng Xi and Leng Ming were secretly wiping away tears, and the other ministers also shook their heads in regret.
At this moment, Leng Zian's hand touched Xiao Zhi's neck. He suddenly roared like crazy, "My son was strangled to death. He was strangled to death. Someone come!"
Hearing his sudden roar, Duosheng and others hurried over.
Leng Zian stared at me with his tear-blurred eyes, gritted his teeth and said in a cold and desperate voice:
"Send a signal, have all the soldiers from Yunnan rush to the capital to avenge the young prince. My son is dead, what's the point of me living?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present gasped. Judging from the current situation, it seemed impossible to calm the anger of King Zhennan.
Luo Lan put her hand on Xiao Zhi's pulse again. When she felt a weak pulse, she suddenly shouted,
"Stop making noise, hurry up and find a quiet room."
Hearing her words, Prince Zhennan was suddenly stunned. He couldn't hide his sadness and asked, "What are you going to do? What are you going to do to him? He's still so young!"
Luo Lan ignored him and yelled at the people around him.
"Hurry, do as I say. Maybe there's still hope. Don't waste time here."
Hearing this, the emperor, who was at a loss, suddenly shouted to the people around him:
"Quick, do as Princess Yu says."
The Prince of Zhennan suddenly picked up Xiaozhi and roared at the person who was about to approach him with his scarlet eyes.
"You are not allowed to touch him. I will come here in person. If my son dies, even if it costs me my life, I will raze this palace to the ground. You will all die."
