The emperor's words made Leng Yu suddenly nervous. Looking at Concubine Li's smug look, she must have known the room where Xina and Xiaoling lived. Now that the emperor was going there, she could no longer hide it.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took two steps and stood in front of the emperor. "Father, it's noon now and the sun is scorching. Why don't you take a nap first and go in the afternoon when it's cooler? Anyway, even if there are really people from Chu in Prince Yu's mansion, they can't escape."
Seeing that Leng Yu intended to stop her, Concubine Li became more certain that the two women were from Chu.
Before the emperor could speak, she refused directly:
"How can the emperor sleep soundly when such a serious matter is unfolding? If there are indeed people from the Chu State staying in Prince Yu's mansion, it means that there are spies from the enemy country in your mansion. If such people are not eliminated sooner or later, they will endanger the safety of the Daning Kingdom. Yu'er, please stop trying to stop your father."
The emperor also felt that Concubine Li's words made sense, and he nodded in agreement.
"Well, you previously let the Chu people out of the city secretly. If I see the Chu people again in your Prince Yu's mansion, I will investigate the matter thoroughly."
After saying this, he raised his voice and shouted:
"Concubine Li, lead the way."
Concubine Li proudly swung the handkerchief in her hand, twisted her graceful waist, and said in a charming voice:
"Your Majesty, please, I have ordered people to guard the backyard since I discovered those two Chu people. They can't escape even if they have wings."
After saying this, she did not forget to look at Leng Yu with a smile on her face, a sinister look in her eyes.
Leng Yu's face turned gloomy. If the emperor found out that Xina and the others lived in the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion, he would not be able to explain himself even if he had ten mouths.
When he walked out of the main hall, he winked at Agang who was not far away. Agang understood and ran to find Luo Lan.
Leng Yu followed the emperor quickly, his brows furrowed. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Obviously, it is too late to let them leave Prince Yu's Mansion now.
Is there any other way?
there is none left.
Since that’s the case, then just face it calmly. He will take on everything and try not to implicate Luo Lan and General Liu.
As for Xina and Luo Lanniang, he will protect them at all costs and will never let them get hurt, because they are Luo Lan's closest people.
The emperor and his entourage walked hurriedly, and Concubine Li also changed her usual small steps and strode forward. She couldn't wait to see the emperor's angry expression when he saw the two Chu people, and his expression when Leng Yu and Luo Lan were beheaded.
Watching the emperor and his entourage coming in a mighty procession from afar, Caidie, who was waiting at the corridor leading to the backyard, suddenly turned around in shock. She came to Acai and whispered a few words in her ear. Acai didn't have time to think about it and ran towards the room with a pale face.
All of this was seen by Nanny Lu who was hiding not far away. When she saw Ah Cai's panicked look after hearing that the emperor was coming, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She saw the two women enter the room with her own eyes. There was no back door, so they couldn't escape this time.
Without saying anything, Ah Cai quickly opened the door and shouted while Luo Lan was talking to Xina and Xiaoling:
"Princess, something's wrong. The Emperor is rushing here with his men. What should we do?"
"What?"
Luo Lan stood up from the chair quickly, and Sina and Xiaoling also looked very nervous.
"Why is the emperor here? Where is he?"
Ah Cai shook her head vigorously. "I don't know. The prince is following behind the emperor, and so is Concubine Li. They arrived while they were talking."
"I understand. You go down first."
Luo Lan calmly waved to Acai. Although Acai had unspeakable worries in her heart, she nodded and quietly retreated.
Xiaoling turned around impatiently and said anxiously:
"What should we do now? Will the Emperor punish Prince Yu's Mansion because of Xina and me?"
Sina bit her lips tightly and nodded fiercely.
"Not only that, we will also implicate Father. What should we do now? The courtyard is full of people from the palace. We have no way to escape."
Xiaoling suddenly took two quick steps, grabbed Luo Lan's hand, and said hurriedly:
"Lan'er, when the emperor comes later, you will pretend that you know nothing. Just say that you don't recognize us and that you don't know that we are from the Chu State. Even if Xina and I die, we can't implicate you."
Sina also nodded solemnly.
"Mom is right. You were living well before we came. If our arrival adds trouble to your peaceful life, it would be easier to kill us."
"Xena, don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that Sina was in a low mood, Luo Lan frowned and blamed her, then sat on the chair beside her.
Seeing this, Xiaoling stepped forward and urged in confusion:
"Lan'er, hurry up and leave. Don't sit here. If we get trapped in the house, how are we going to explain it?"
Luo Mian shook his head calmly.
"It's too late to leave now. According to estimates, they've already reached the yard. Even if I had wings, I couldn't fly out."
"Then what should we do? How about this? You find a place to hide. As long as they see me and Sina, they won't search the room."
"hehe……"
Luo Lan shook her head and smiled bitterly again, "Mom, you think too simply. Even if I hide to the ends of the earth, I can't escape our mother-daughter relationship, so don't worry about it."
Xiaoling spread her hands out anxiously, her forehead sweating. "I'm afraid of getting you into trouble. For so many years, I haven't been able to be by your side to take care of you. I already feel very sorry for you. Now that you've just started to live a good life, you're going to be implicated by us again. How can I bear it?"
