After Leng Yu reminded him, the emperor thought of Xiao Zhi. The dying child was actually saved by Princess Yu. As for how she was saved, he had no time to ask.
As the king of a country, he couldn't just be like Leng Zi'an, who kept shouting that he wanted to see the emperor alive or his body dead. That would be beneath his dignity. Besides, he didn't want to have any more grudges with Yu'er, so he decided to trust him this time.
Thinking of this, his brows tightened, and he nodded solemnly and seriously:
"Okay, I'll give you three days. After three days, I'll come to take Ming'er back. If Ming'er doesn't appear before me safely, I won't let him off easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked out. The moment he left, he once again asked Leng Yu in a cold voice:
"Has the assassin been found? Who is he?"
In fact, Leng Yu already knew who sent the assassin, but without solid evidence, he couldn't say anything to avoid causing trouble. Besides, it was too early.
So he shook his head and replied:
"It has not been found yet, but I have already ordered people to investigate."
"No need. I will send Shuntian Prefecture to investigate. As the general of Daning State, you can't even protect a child. You really disappoint me."
Leaving these words behind, the emperor strode forward and left quickly, followed closely by a group of servants.
Watching his back walking away, Leng Yu tugged at the corner of his mouth in a sneer. Wasn't he also extremely disappointed with his father?
After the emperor left, Leng Xi surrounded Leng Yu and asked him questions.
"Fourth brother, where did Fourth Sister-in-law go? Why did she suddenly disappear?"
"Where's Ming'er? Is he okay? Why did they disappear together?"
"Does Fourth Sister-in-law have some kind of supernatural power? Why did she disappear with everyone else?"
"The Emperor's sister-in-law..."
Leng Xi had a lot of questions, but when he saw Leng Yu's cold face, he immediately shut up and didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Leng Yu only said one sentence to him, "Go back home, Ming'er will be fine."
Although Leng Xi had a lot of questions to ask, seeing Leng Yu's gloomy face, he didn't dare to say anything more. He could only look back at the room again and turned away.
Seeing him walk away, Leng Yu said to A Yu beside him:
"Arrange two people to protect him until he returns safely to Prince Xi's Mansion."
"clear."
After Ayu responded, he and Ahou quickly followed.
He then said to Xiao Lingzi:
"Did you find it?"
"No."
Xiao Lingzi bowed and replied:
"Those guys were quite skilled and disappeared very quickly. I don't know where they went, but I've already ordered people to search all over the city."
Leng Yu frowned slightly and said word by word:
"When the city gates open tomorrow, keep an eye on the first group of people leaving the city. You will definitely find the person you are looking for."
His words surprised Xiao Lingzi. He asked in confusion,
"Your Highness means that he will let those people leave the city?"
Leng Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said in a cold and disdainful voice:
"That's an illusion. He will definitely kill to silence the witnesses. But don't be hasty. Let them see the truth before rescuing them. After rescuing these people, lock them up. They will be useful in the future."
His words reminded Xiao Lingzi. He nodded as he listened, then clasped his fists and said:
"I understand. Tomorrow morning, I will lead the people from the Rebirth Hall to rescue these people who should not be rescued."
Thinking of the overwhelming number of arrows shot at him tonight, Leng Yu's handsome eyes revealed a cold look, and then he said in a cold voice:
"Wu Hong, it's too late for you to kill me now."
After saying this, he looked up at the peach tree that seemed to be able to block out the sun and clouds. This tree had extremely tenacious vitality, just like him, Leng Yu.
…
As soon as the emperor returned to the palace with an angry face, Concubine Li hurried over.
She came before the emperor, saluted solemnly, and then said softly:
"Your Majesty, I heard that you have Sister Chang under house arrest? I risked my life to plead for her. Please consider that Ming'er is injured and Sister Chang, as his mother, is more worried than anyone else. Please release her from house arrest."
As Concubine Li spoke, she raised the handkerchief in her hand and kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes. Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly stood up and came to her side, helped her up, and sighed gently.
"You are sensible, Concubine Li. She has treated you harshly, and you still come to plead for her. I am really surprised."
Concubine Li leaned on the emperor's arms and said softly:
"No matter what, she is Ming'er's mother. Her son was seriously injured, so she must be very anxious. When I went to see Sister Chang just now, she was almost crazy with worry, so I came to plead for her. Your Majesty, you will not blame me for meddling in other people's affairs, right?"
"How could that be? You are the most sensible among all these concubines. Come on, I will take you back to Liyuan and you will stay at my place tonight."
Hearing this, Concubine Li nodded happily, and the cuteness on her face became even more prominent.
Because of Concubine Li's plea, Concubine Chang was released from house arrest the next morning, but she rushed to Liyuan as soon as possible, shouting that she wanted to see the emperor.
The emperor's morning sleep was disturbed by her. When Concubine Li came out of the inner room with the emperor, Concubine Chang suddenly stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please let Ming'er return to the palace and ask the imperial physician to treat his injuries. Ming'er's injury must have been intentional by Leng Yu and that Shui Luolan."
Hearing this, the emperor suddenly snorted coldly, frowned and growled:
"I've already visited Prince Yu's mansion. Yu'er promised to send Ming'er back in three days. You don't have to worry."
