"Father..."
Leng Yu tried to stop him again.
"Father, this is the room I arranged for Lan'er. I can open it, but I must get Lan'er's consent."
Seeing Leng Yu stalling for time, Concubine Li raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyebrows moving as she said proudly:
"Prince Yu, the Emperor wants to check if there are any people from Chu hiding here, and he needs the consent of Princess Yu. Aren't you being disrespectful to your father by saying this?"
Seeing Concubine Li fanning the flames, Luo Lan frowned, turned around, walked quickly to Xina and Xiaoling, and said in a low voice:
"Now I have a way to make others invisible to you, but you have to listen to me."
Her words made Xiaoling and Sina stunned for a moment, and Sina said hurriedly:
"Sister, we will do whatever you say. Everything is up to you."
Luo Lan pointed to a cabinet beside the bed and said:
"I'm going to blindfold you in a moment. You have to get into that closet. Don't move or say a word. Wait until they leave and I call you. Only then can you move or speak. Can you do this?"
"able."
Xiaoling was the first to nod.
"As long as I don't get you into trouble, I can stay there for a year."
Sina also nodded heavily.
"I can do it, too. Even though I don't like being restrained, I can still hold myself together in a life-or-death situation."
Seeing that they both agreed, Luo Lan pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, tore it in half, and covered each of them with it. Then he helped them both to the cabinet and whispered:
"You guys get into this cupboard and don't do anything. I'll call you later. Remember, don't remove the cloth from your eyes, and don't make any noise."
Xiaoling asked softly, somewhat puzzled:
"Will this work?"
"Don't worry, just do as I say, I'll take care of everything."
As he was speaking, there was a sound of a door opening. Luo Lan hurriedly urged:
"Hurry, it's too late."
Xiaoling and Xina bent down and got into the cabinet without saying anything. Luo Lan waved his hand and the cabinet disappeared instantly.
She thought about it for a long time and still felt that the safest place was her operating room.
But she couldn't let her mother and Sina know about the existence of this operating room, so she came up with this idea, first hiding them in the cabinet, and then hiding them and the cabinet in the operating room, so that it would be foolproof.
At this time, she had already heard the footsteps of many people coming in. She quickly turned around and lay down on the bed. Then she pulled her neat hair, messed up her clothes, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
At this time, the Emperor, Concubine Li, and Leng Yu were standing outside the bedroom. Concubine Li bowed to the Emperor and said:
"Your Majesty, please wait here. Have Madam Lu bring those two Chu women out."
The emperor nodded with a frown, and Concubine Li waved to Nanny Lu. After receiving the order, Nanny Lu took several palace maids and quickly walked into the inner room.
Leng Yu's brows were furrowed. The silence here made him feel a little unusual.
Luo Lan was lying on the bed with her eyes slightly closed. When she heard someone approaching her, she still did not move.
Nanny Lu brought a few maids and slowly approached the bed. When she saw Luo Lan lying on the bed, she thought it was Sina.
She waved to the girls around her, and they stepped forward and held Luo Lan's hands and feet.
Luo Lan's eyes suddenly opened in an instant. She looked at Aunt Lu who was standing beside the bed with a smirk on her face, and she looked confused and at a loss. "What are you going to do?"
Madam Lu didn't answer her. Instead, she narrowed her eyes complacently and waved to the maids, "Take her to see the emperor."
Luo Lan frowned and was dragged before the emperor by several maids without even having time to put on her shoes.
Nanny Lu couldn't wait to take a few maids to another room again.
When Concubine Li saw Luo Lan standing in front of her, she said to the emperor in surprise:
"Your Majesty, this is the woman. She looks exactly like Princess Yu. You can't tell them apart at all."
Leng Yu looked at Luo Lan with confusion. Even though she looked very similar to Sina, he could tell that the woman in front of him was his wife Lan'er.
But where are Xina and Luo Lanniang?
He looked at Nanny Lu who returned empty-handed, and his heart was full of doubts.
The emperor looked at Luo Lan with vigilance. The more he looked at this woman who was said to be from Chu, the more he felt that she was Princess Yu.
He slightly twisted his eyebrows, raised his hand and asked:
"Who are you?"
Luo Lan immediately swung her arms in anger, throwing away the two girls who were holding her arms. Then, before anyone could react, "Pa...Pa..."
He slapped the two girls on the face and scolded them harshly:
"How dare you be so rude to me, Princess Yu, in front of the Emperor? What are your intentions? Who ordered you to do this?"
As soon as she said this, the emperor turned to look at Concubine Li in surprise, "What's going on?"
Concubine Li glanced at Madam Lu who was rushing back with her head down, and asked loudly:
"Where are the people? Where are the two Chu people?"
Madam Lu came before the Emperor and Concubine Li and whispered:
"I have searched everywhere here, but I can't find the two Chu women."
"presumptuous!"
Lu Ma's words instantly made Luo Lan furious. She pointed at Lu Ma and shouted angrily:
"You took advantage of Concubine Li's favoritism and dared to come to Prince Yu's mansion to act wildly. You even ordered people to tie me up. What do you want to do?"
Having said this, she looked up at the emperor with grievance, "Father, please help me. If even these servants dare to bully me, then if the news gets out, where will the reputation of the royal family be?"
Her words made the emperor extremely angry. He turned around and looked at Concubine Li with a sharp look, "Where are they? Didn't you say there were two women from Chu here? Where are they?"
Seeing the emperor's face turn ashen with anger, Concubine Li hurriedly lowered her head timidly and replied:
"Your Majesty, Madam Lu did see the two Chu people living here. Please wait here for a moment. I will go and look for them myself."
The emperor waved his hand impatiently, "Go ahead. If you can't find the person, I will make you pay."
Concubine Li blushed, nodded timidly, and walked quickly into the inner room.
She took a few maids with her and searched every corner of the house. She even suspected that there was a secret compartment in the room and did not even leave out a small vase.
They searched for a long time but couldn't find a single person. Concubine Li immediately became angry and whispered to Madam Lu:
"What's going on? Didn't you say you watched those two women enter this room?"
