Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan waited outside Prince Xi's Mansion for three days and finally found some clues. However, there was one thing they couldn't make up their mind about, so they hurried to Prince Yu's Mansion.
When he saw Luo Lan, Zhang Yuan scratched his head and asked in surprise:
"Princess, did you go to Prince Xi's Mansion last night?"
This question left Luo Lan somewhat baffled. He looked at Zhang Yuan puzzledly.
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Lingzi looked at each other and laughed:
"I said that person wasn't the princess, but Brother Ling insisted it was you. I've never seen you wear clothes like that before. Besides, it's impossible for you to go to Prince Xi's mansion in the middle of the night."
Xiao Lingzi blinked a few times with a vague look in his eyes, then frowned and muttered:
"But that person's back looks like the princess!"
"What are you talking about?"
Seeing that the two people were confused, Luo Lan waved his hand impatiently to interrupt them.
Xiao Lingzi hurriedly explained:
"Last night, Zhang Yuan and I were outside the Prince Xi's Mansion when we saw a woman who looked just like you. She said she was going to the Western Regions for something. I thought it was you and was about to go over to say hello, but Zhang Yuan grabbed me and said I had the wrong person."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's expression suddenly became nervous, and she asked again:
"What exactly did they say?"
Xiao Lingzi shook his head.
"I didn't hear it clearly. The lower half of the woman's face was covered with a black veil, but they definitely mentioned the words 'Western Regions'. They also told the other person to wait for her good news."
A trace of fear flashed across Luo Lan's eyes, and then he asked:
"That woman only looks like me from behind. Are there other similarities?"
Zhang Yuan raised his hand as if he had thought of something and said:
"Yes, her eyes are quite similar to yours, but even in the moonlight I could see that there was a fierce hatred in them, otherwise I would have thought it was you."
"Was Lengxi there at the time?"
Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan shook their heads together, "He's not here. Oh, and among those people, one of them seems to be the stupid son of the owner of Li Family Village."
What?
Their words made Luo Lan even more suspicious...
Her eyebrows flickered a few times, and then she murmured:
"Is that Master Li's son pretending to be stupid? But why would he go to Prince Xi's Mansion? How would he be associated with people from the Western Regions? And what about that woman who looks like him?"
A lot of questions lingered in her mind. After a moment's silence, she said with a sharp look in her eyes:
"What other news have you heard?"
Zhang Yuan and Xiao Lingzi began to tell Luo Lan everything they had learned in the past few days.
It turned out that the strangers who came in and out of Xiwang Mansion would change into the clothes of Xiwang Mansion's servants during the day and would only come out at night. In addition, more and more strangers entered Xiwang Mansion in the past few days, but the servants of Xiwang Mansion turned a deaf ear to these people and let them come in and out of Xiwang Mansion at will.
Among these people, there are both men and women, and judging from their accents, they are not from the capital. They are most likely the people from the Western Regions who sneaked into the capital.
After hearing this, Luo Lan said with a gloomy expression:
"Zhang Yuan, go to Changliu Village and call Shui Chunhua. Xiao Lingzi, go to the military camp and call my father. Tell him I have something urgent to discuss with him."
"Yes, Princess."
Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan received the order and retreated.
Seeing that Luo Lan's face looked unhappy, Ah Hong asked in a low voice:
"Princess, what are you worried about?"
Luo Lan's eyes darkened and he shook his head secretly.
"I don't know. I always feel that this matter is not that simple. These people from the Western Regions must be plotting something big, or in other words, they are plotting to harm Leng Yu."
"Then, could this matter be related to Prince Xi?"
"Maybe. Among these people are people from Lijiazhuang. It was Leng Xi who saved the people from Lijiazhuang. Now Leng Yu is the crown prince. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the heir to the throne. In the past few years, Leng Xi has been constantly expanding his strength. It is hard to guarantee that he has not coveted the throne. If he wants to sit on the throne, he has to let Leng Yu..."
At this point, she covered her mouth and couldn't say any more. Suddenly, her heart felt like it was hit by something, and it hurt.
After a while, Zhang Yuan hurried back, "Princess, Shui Chunhua and her family no longer live in Changliu Village."
Hearing this, Luo Lan looked at her in surprise, "Where did they go?"
"According to villagers, a few days ago, a few people took them away. Shui Chunhua's mother even happily told the villagers that they were rich now and were going to live a good life."
This is a bit strange. After the incident in Lijiazhuang, Shui Chunhua and Lengxi seemed to have reached some kind of agreement, but now their family suddenly disappeared?
Just as she was wondering about this, Liu Dechang hurried in with big strides.
Before anyone came in, he shouted loudly:
"My girl, I heard you called me and seemed quite anxious. What happened?"
Luo Lan stood up from his chair and motioned Liu Dechang to sit down. Then he sat down again and said seriously:
"Dad, there's something I can't make up my mind about, so I want to discuss it with you."
Liu Dechang waved his hand nonchalantly, "Go ahead, I'm here, I'll take care of anything for you."
Luo Lan had no intention of joking with him. A hint of sadness flashed across her eyes, and then she said sadly:
"Dad, I think something is going to happen to Leng Yu..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
