"no."
Leng Yu was firm in his attitude. This was the first time he directly rejected Luo Lan, but he knew very well that this was no trivial matter. It was not legal for an underage prince to leave the palace without his parents' guidance. He just didn't know why Concubine Chang allowed him to do this.
But Ming'er wanted to spend the night outside the palace, which Concubine Chang would not agree to, so he could not let these people continue to make trouble.
Seeing this, Leng Xi came directly to Luo Lan and discussed with him in a flattering voice,
"Sister-in-law, dear sister-in-law, Fourth Brother is so cruel, can't you just stand by and watch him die?"
Watching someone die without helping? That's too serious.
Leng Ming stood there with his lips pursed, looking at a loss.
Luo Lan looked at Leng Yu with a dark face and shook his head at Leng Xi, indicating that there was no room for negotiation.
Time stood still for a while, and Leng Yu waved his hand and said:
"It's getting late. We should go back. Ming'er, please go back to the palace as soon as possible. Xi'er, please go back to the mansion as well."
His words were clear and concise.
After he finished speaking, he took Luo Lan's hand and turned to walk towards the carriage. Leng Xi saw this and followed him directly. He strode to catch up with Leng Yu's footsteps while discussing,
"Fourth brother, please be flexible. Why don't you let Ming'er stay at my place tonight? Can't you let him go back to the palace?"
"no."
Leng Yu's attitude was firm. Seeing this, Luo Lan glanced at Leng Ming who lowered his head. Not knowing the palace rules, she discussed again:
"My husband, Ming'er has already made an agreement with Concubine Chang, so let him stay. It's getting late anyway, and I'm afraid the palace gates will be locked by the time he returns."
As soon as she finished speaking, Leng Yu's pupils suddenly tightened, a cold wind blew, and an arrow shot out from nowhere and headed straight for Leng Yu.
Before anyone could react, Leng Yu dodged the arrow. At the same time, countless arrows suddenly appeared from all directions. Leng Yu's brows tightened and he growled.
"Oh no, there's an assassin."
After he finished speaking, he held Luo Lan tightly in his arms with one arm, and used the other hand to block the arrows flying towards him like raindrops.
Luo Lan was also a little flustered. He let Leng Yu turn back and forth, at a loss as to what to do.
This was the first time she had seen such a scene of arrows raining down.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingzi and others who had been hiding in the dark rushed out and tried their best to protect Leng Yu and others, shooting down the flying arrows one by one.
Ah Hou led another group of people and headed straight for the direction where the arrows were shot. After firing for a while, the arrows suddenly stopped and the people quickly disappeared.
"Ming'er?"
Countless arrows scattered on the ground, and a scream broke the sky. Leng Yu, who had just been busy protecting Luo Lan, looked over and saw Leng Xi sitting on the ground, holding Leng Ming in his arms, shouting constantly. Leng Ming was hit by an arrow in the chest.
"Quick, carry Ming'er into the car and go back home."
Leng Yu didn't have time to think about it, and glared at Xiao Lingzi and others and shouted angrily.
Ming'er was shot by an arrow, which was no trivial matter. After returning to the palace, Luo Lan sent him directly to the operating room to prepare for surgery.
At the same time, Leng Yu ordered someone to send the news that Ming'er was shot by an arrow to the palace. After all, this was not a trivial matter. If something really happened to Ming'er outside the palace, he could not bear the responsibility.
When Concubine Chang, who had not noticed that Leng Ming was not in the palace, heard the news, she rushed to Leng Ming's bedroom like crazy.
But when she saw the empty bed, she immediately fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Nanny Yu hurried over to support her, "My Lady, you have to hold on."
Concubine Chang's face turned pale, and she murmured with tears in her eyes:
"Who was it? Who took Ming'er out of the palace? How did he end up in Prince Yu's mansion? And how did he get shot by an arrow? What on earth is going on?"
"Your Highness, please don't worry. The person who came here just gave a simple message and left. You should go to Prince Yu's Mansion to see what's going on."
"That's right."
Concubine Chang couldn't wait to support herself and stand up. She wiped the tears from her face and said:
"Yes, go talk to the emperor first, and make sure he makes the decision for Ming'er."
After saying this, she staggered to her feet, and Yu Ma hurriedly comforted her:
"Your Majesty, you must not tell the Emperor about the Sixth Prince's secret escape from the palace. If you do, the Emperor will accuse the Sixth Prince of being inappropriate and his opinion of him will change. You must think twice."
Nanny Yu's words sobered up the confused Concubine Chang. Her lips kept trembling and her fists were clenched tightly.
As a mother, she is the only one who has to take responsibility for what her son has done. She cannot let the emperor be disappointed in Ming'er, otherwise, all her efforts will be in vain, and it will be too late to restore Ming'er's image in the emperor's heart.
Thinking of this, she nodded weakly. At the same time, Eunuch Liu came in quickly and delivered a message.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered you to come and see him immediately."
Seeing Eunuch Liu's anxious look, Concubine Chang knew that the Emperor already knew about Ming'er's injury.
Naturally, she did not dare to delay for a moment, and supported by the palace maid, she went straight to the imperial study.
The emperor had already known the news that Ming'er was injured outside the palace before Concubine Chang, so he ordered Liu Xi to call her over.
When Concubine Chang came before the emperor, seeing that he looked unhappy, she knelt on the ground, raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and remained silent, waiting for the emperor to speak.
The emperor glared at her, then suddenly slammed the table and yelled at her.
"Humph! How could you let Ming'er leave the palace? What did you do as a mother?"
Hearing this, Concubine Chang fell to the ground with a look of grievance, biting her lips tightly. She wanted to tell the emperor that she didn't know that Ming'er had left the palace, but she knew she couldn't say that. She would rather be punished by the emperor than let Ming'er lose his position in the emperor's heart.
Thinking of this, she bit her lips tightly and replied with tears in her eyes:
"Your Majesty, I...I am guilty. Please punish me."
"snort!"
The emperor swung his sleeves and shouted sternly:
"Punishment? The prince was assassinated outside the palace. This is a disgrace to the royal family. Ming'er is still young. In these years, you have not taught him anything except to study. He has no self-defense skills at all, and yet you let him leave the palace. This is simply unreasonable."
After saying this, he suddenly swung his sleeves and shouted to the people outside:
"Come here, confine Concubine Chang to Dening Palace and bring her to Prince Yu's residence."
"emperor……"
Concubine Chang crawled to the emperor on her knees, crying and begging, "Please, Your Majesty, let me go see Ming'er, and let me, as his mother, stay with him!"
"Someone come here..."
The emperor paid no attention to her pleas. His voice suddenly became extremely sharp. Seeing this, the people guarding outside came over and pulled Concubine Chang up and carried her out.
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”
Concubine Chang's voice became extremely miserable, but the emperor was not moved at all.
She was so cruel to Yu'er, and now she is so indulgent to her own son. If she is not taught a lesson this time, she might do something even more outrageous in the future.
