He was not afraid of these people dealing with him, he was afraid of these people dealing with his family.
He stood up, put his hands on Luo Lan's shoulders, and looked at her vigilantly.
"My lady, there are some strange things about Minister Li's death, so you must be extra careful when you go out during this period. Although these people dare not do anything to our Prince Yu's Mansion openly, we still have to be on the safe side."
Leng Yu's words made Luo Lan shudder. After going through so much, she was particularly looking forward to having a stable life, but these things happened one after another, forcing her to be extremely alert.
It seems that controlling Concubine Li to take the position of queen is already urgent.
Thinking of this, she nodded, pursed her lips and smiled casually:
"Don't worry, my husband. No one can get close to me. But you should be more careful during this period of time. The person they are targeting is most likely you."
"I know."
Thinking of Leng Xi, Leng Yu sighed sadly.
"Brotherly violence, I thought it wouldn't happen among us brothers, but who would have thought it would happen so quickly and so early."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took her into his arms with one hand and continued to mutter,
"It turns out that people can really change. I just hope that between you and me, nothing will ever change."
"No."
She stretched out her arms, put them around his waist, and whispered softly into his chest,
"As long as you don't change, my feelings for you will never change."
Leng Yu lifted her head from his chest, stared at her intently with his handsome eyes, and replied affectionately:
"Originally, my world was only black and white, but because of you, it has become rich and colorful. Therefore, everything before my eyes is you. For the rest of my life, I will only have you as my companion. I, Leng Yu, swear here that if I ever fail you, I will endure the pain of being struck by lightning and torn into pieces by five horses."
"Stop talking."
She quickly raised her finger to block his mouth, frowned and said angrily:
"Don't swear such a cruel oath. Remember, even if one day you no longer love me, I don't want you to be punished in any way. I don't want the person I love to suffer even the slightest harm."
Her words touched Leng Yu deeply. He held her tightly in his arms, closed his eyes slightly, and enjoyed the tenderness of the moment to the fullest, never wanting to let go.
Here, there was nothing else except the sound of their breathing.
It was late at night, cicadas were chirping and frogs were croaking, and the crescent moon was hanging high in the treetops.
Everyone in Prince Yu's mansion had probably gone to bed, except for one figure who, taking advantage of the night, tiptoed towards the back door of the mansion.
She was Sina, who had not felt sleepy at all and had been holding it in for a long time.
She was dressed in black, holding the long sword that had been lying on the table for a long time, looking like a female hero who was going to take advantage of the night to do justice.
She was originally worried that she would be discovered if she left the house, but after thinking it over again and again, she decided to take the risk and go out with Leng Ming. After all, no one would notice her in this dark night.
When she arrived at the back door of the palace, in order to avoid alarming others, she did not push the door, but jumped up and jumped directly under the high wall.
She stood on the wall and looked down, only to see Leng Ming riding on a horse. He looked up at her, pointed at a horse beside him, and gestured to her to get on the horse.
Sina nodded in understanding, then jumped and landed directly on the horse's back. At the same time, Leng Ming tightened the reins of the horse and shouted "Gee!" With the sound of horse hooves, the horse carried him and galloped forward quickly.
Sina frowned, cursed Leng Ming in her heart, and quickly followed.
This capital city was somewhat unfamiliar to Xina, so she had to follow Leng Ming closely and not be careless.
After a while, Leng Ming took her out of the city through a small path and walked to a small woods outside the city. It was unusually quiet and a little eerie.
Xina quickly caught up with Leng Ming's horse and used her voice to hide her fear.
"Leng Ming, it's pitch black here, how can there be a lantern festival? Are you kidding me?"
Leng Ming's eyebrows flickered cunningly for a few times, then he turned to look at Xina.
"Why would I lie to you? What's there to lie about? Look at the sword in your hand. If I lied to you, you would stab me."
Sina glanced at the long sword in her hand, her eyes flickered a few times, and she snorted coldly:
"I'm glad you know. Where is the Lantern Festival? It's too dark here."
At this moment, a burst of mournful music came from somewhere, and Xina shuddered suddenly. Leng Ming pointed excitedly at a place not far away.
"See that? There's a fire. Let's go over there."
Sina looked over there timidly, and there was definitely a fire there, flickering and looking a little scary.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked in a low voice with a shudder:
"Or...or don't go. I...I want to go back."
"Are you scared?"
Leng Ming looked at her with disdain, "You usually seem so brave, but it turns out you were just pretending. You're just a paper tiger..."
"Who's scared?"
Sina bravely straightened her back and snorted disdainfully, "Whoever is afraid is a grandson."
After saying this, she tightened the reins of the horse and shouted loudly,
"drive!"
Before Leng Ming even started, he rushed out first.
Leng Ming looked at her back and smiled strangely.
If he doesn't teach this naughty girl a lesson today, Leng Ming's life in this world will be in vain.
Thinking of this, he quickly rode away, heading straight in the direction she left.
Although Sina came towards the light out of stubbornness, in the pitch-black night, with the cold wind blowing in her ears and the dim ghost fire, it was indeed a bit creepy. She couldn't help but tightly grasp the sword in her hand, and beads of sweat were already on her forehead.
As she got closer to the will-o'-the-wisp, she grew increasingly nervous. After a while, through a patch of woods, she saw many torches flickering in front of her. Surrounded by them were dozens of men and women in white, draped in mourning. They held colorful lanterns and were circling a new grave, muttering something, and occasionally, cries could be heard...
This scene was truly terrifying. Xina felt a chill down her spine. How could this be a lantern festival? It was clearly a ritual for the dead.
Was he fooled by Leng Ming?
Thinking of this, she took a breath of cold air. Just as she was about to turn around and find Leng Ming to settle the score, suddenly, a gloomy and terrifying voice sounded in her ears.
"Is this lantern beautiful?"
As soon as she turned around, she suddenly saw a terrifying face appear in front of her. She was so scared that she screamed "Ah" and fell off the horse. Fortunately, the long sword supported her and prevented her from falling to the ground.
Just as she landed, she, who had always been brave, suddenly came to her senses.
The clothes under this scary face looked familiar to her...
It’s Leng Ming…
