Leng Ming, who followed, looked at Luo Lan and said angrily with righteous indignation:
"Fourth sister-in-law, I have ordered people to follow the direction An An and Huai Yu came from. I believe we will soon find out who locked them up."
Luo Lan looked at the two children's dirty faces and asked distressedly:
"What did you go through these past two days? Who did you meet? And how did you escape?"
An An stared with big eyes, pursed her lips, and said aggrievedly:
"Mom, An An is hungry. An An wants to eat and drink water in big gulps."
An An's words were enough to explain what they had experienced in these two days and one night.
Luo Lan couldn't help but let her tears flow down her cheeks, but she still forced herself to hold back her tears and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, Mom will have someone prepare some delicious food for you. Then you can take a good bath and have a good sleep."
Seeing the two children's tired looks, she didn't want to ask any more questions. She looked up at Leng Ming and said:
"Ming'er, you've been tired these past two days. Go back and rest! We'll talk about everything tomorrow."
Leng Ming stood there, looking at her in confusion.
"But...but we should strike while the iron is hot and find out who locked them up."
Luo Lan's eyelashes trembled slightly as she shook her head. "They are too tired. Let them have a good rest."
While she was talking, she looked down and saw that An An had fallen asleep leaning on her legs, and Huaiyu was also dozing off.
Seeing this scene, Leng Ming couldn't help but stepped forward and picked up Huaiyu, pursed his lips and nodded.
"Okay, I'll take him back to his room."
Luo Lan also picked up An An and walked towards her room.
She didn't know what the two children had been through, but she was thankful to see them return safely.
Perhaps it was the sudden loss of the two children that made the emperor feel as if he had suddenly come to his senses. Early the next morning, the emperor issued an oral order, asking Luo Lan to bring the three children to the palace to see him.
This was the first time the emperor had issued a message since the three children grew up.
Upon hearing the news, Luo Lan hurriedly ordered people to change them into formal clothes and repeatedly told them the rules and etiquette after entering the palace.
"Mom, what does the Emperor look like? Is he very old?"
Huaiyu, who had never even seen the emperor, was somewhat curious about this emperor.
Luo Lan touched his head and said with a chuckle:
"The Emperor isn't old, but he's prone to anger. So when you see him, be kind. Also, you'll see a little boy named Xiaobao today. He's your Emperor's grandson, just like you. Don't argue with him. Be polite and friendly to him, okay?"
Huaiyu was the first to nod, "Don't worry, mother. We won't cause any trouble for you."
An An touched the silver bell hairpin on her hair and nodded with her eyes wide open.
"Mom, you've told us three times. We know. We will be good and obedient. We won't talk nonsense, run around, or cause trouble."
Lele stood there, pouting and asking:
"What if he bullies us?"
Luo Lan smiled helplessly. She raised her hand and rubbed Lele's head, and replied softly:
"If someone doesn't offend me, I won't offend him. But if someone offends me, I will definitely offend him."
After saying this, she stood up straight and said to the three children seriously:
"Okay, let's go now."
After saying that, she led the way, and the three little children followed behind her with their short legs, fluttering and struggling.
Today is not a special day, so the city gate is a bit deserted.
According to the eunuch who delivered the message, the emperor just had a sudden whim and wanted to meet his grandchildren, that was all.
When Luo Lan brought her three children to the Yangxin Palace, Leng Xi and Yu Qiaoqiao had already arrived with Xiaobao.
At this time, Xiaobao was standing beside the emperor, answering his questions. He looked very reserved.
Leng Xi, who was standing aside, glanced at An An and Huai Yu. He was glad that he covered his face yesterday, otherwise he would have met them so soon and he really couldn't explain it.
Luo Lan brought her three children to the emperor. She gestured for them to kneel down, and she bowed in greeting.
The three children kowtowed to the emperor three times, clenched their fists, and said solemnly:
"Your grandson/granddaughter pays respects to the Emperor, wishing him long life and good health."
The emperor looked at the three children, and finally his eyes fell on Lele. He narrowed his eyes at him and asked kindly:
"Your name is Lele?"
Lele stared with his big dark eyes and nodded heavily, "Yes."
The emperor nodded, looked at Huaiyu and An'an, and then waved to them.
"Come, everyone, come to Grandpa Huang. This is Xiaobao, your younger brother."
It turned out that this little treasure had already won the emperor's favor because he arrived first and recited the Book of Songs and several ancient poems to the emperor.
Seeing this, the three children got up from the ground together and timidly came before the emperor.
Lele extended her hand generously and greeted him in a tender voice, "Hello, little brother Xiaobao, my name is Lele, you can call me brother Lele."
Xiao Bao looked at him with a snort, stretched out his hand reluctantly, shook his hand briefly, and then pulled it back.
Seeing this, Huaiyu also extended his hand politely, "Hello, Xiaobao brother, I am Brother Huaiyu."
Xiaobao looked at him and snorted with disdain.
"You are just an adopted child. I won't call you brother."
