Aunt Lu was so frightened that she lost her previous arrogance. She bowed her body and replied humbly:
"I did see those two women enter this room, and I didn't see them leave, but why can't I find them? I really don't know what's going on."
"Waste... Could this guy just disappear out of thin air?"
As she spoke, she looked around again vigilantly, but there was still no one here.
If they can't find the person, Leng Yu and Luo Lan will definitely not give up, and the emperor will be furious. This is really a case of not only trying to steal the chicken but also losing the rice.
Thinking of this, she gnashed her teeth and roared:
"Madam Lu, are you blind? You can't even handle such a small matter?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I haven't even dared to go to the toilet these past two days. I've been staring at this door. I've seen it clearly. They definitely haven't left here. There must be a secret compartment in this house, or a back door. Please wait, I'll go check it out."
"stop."
Seeing that Madam Lu was about to go to the back, Concubine Li scolded her sharply, "We have been looking back and forth here for several times. There is no back door. Don't waste time anymore. The emperor will get impatient soon."
Having said this, her eyes flashed sinisterly for a few times, and then she calmed down. She raised her hand and patted Lu Mama on the shoulder, saying meaningfully:
"Look at you, you've been with me for so many years, and you haven't figured out this little thing. You're old now, and it's time for you to take on some of my responsibilities. But don't worry, I will take care of your family. If the emperor blames you later, you know what to do."
Hearing her threatening words, Madam Lu's face suddenly changed and her legs went limp. Concubine Li waved her hands mercilessly to the two maids beside her, and the two maids directly supported her and walked outside.
Concubine Li returned to the emperor, knelt on the ground, raised her handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said softly:
"Your Majesty, I just took people to look for him, but they really couldn't find him. I have already questioned Madam Lu, and she said that she must have made a mistake. Please, Your Majesty, please forgive her because she has been with me for many years and her eyesight is a little blurry."
"presumptuous."
The emperor angrily swung his sleeves and shouted:
"It's the middle of the day, and you've already ruined my nap by saying you're dizzy. Are you making fun of me?"
Although Leng Yu didn't know where Luo Lan had hidden Xina and the other two, he snorted gloomily when he saw that he had caught them.
"Not only are you playing tricks on my father, you're also treating my Prince Yu's mansion like a teahouse? First, you disturbed Princess Yu's sweet sleep, dragged her out of bed, tied her up and brought her before my father, then searched this place thoroughly. Now you're trying to use this dog servant's poor eyesight as an excuse? You truly underestimate the dignity of the royal family."
Hearing this, Luo Lan raised his chin and said sternly:
"You little dogs! How dare you act so wildly in Prince Yu's mansion in front of the Emperor? You're really courting death! Do you think Prince Yu is still as easy to bully as he was back then? The Emperor won't allow you little dogs to disrespect the royal authority like this. Please, Father, make the decision for us on this matter."
This incident really annoyed the emperor. He pointed at Concubine Li and asked angrily:
"These dog slaves around you really need to be properly disciplined. If you dare to report false information again, I will punish you as well."
Concubine Li nodded palely, "I understand. I will never believe these dogs again. Please punish me for my poor discipline."
Madam Lu lowered her head to the ground and pleaded with a trembling voice,
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. Please forgive me for the many years I have served Concubine Li!"
The emperor's brows were filled with coldness. He was already angry about Leng Yu's private release of the Chu people. If the Chu people were really found in Prince Yu's mansion this time, he would definitely use this as a warning to the people of the world to see who would dare to defy his imperial authority.
But now, not only did they not find the Chu people, these people foolishly brought Princess Yu in front of him like a prisoner, and even lied that she was a Chu person. This was really outrageous.
If he doesn't give a fair result to this matter, Yu'er's Luo Lan will probably not let it go.
Thinking of this, he raised his hand with a dark face.
"Come here, gouge out Nanny Lu's eyes and banish her from the palace to prevent her from making mistakes again. Also, punish Concubine Li by making her copy the Daughter's Sutra a hundred times as a punishment for her poor management of the servants."
Hearing this, Madam Lu immediately wailed in pain.
"Your Majesty, please spare this old slave. You dug out my eyes, you might as well kill me. Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."
Concubine Li was already in a difficult situation at this time and had no intention of pleading with Nanny Lu. Instead, she knelt there with a pale face, feeling lucky that Nanny Lu was taking the blame for her.
The emperor waved his hand without changing his expression, and two guards came forward, ready to take Madam Lu away.
Seeing this, Madam Lu crawled to Luo Lan's feet like a rabbit, hugged her feet, and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Princess Yu, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so self-righteous and misjudged you. Please forgive me. I will definitely repay you in the future. Please forgive me. I was wrong."
Leng Yu, who was standing aside, watched the scene quietly without saying a word. He did not feel pity for Madam Lu, nor did he think that his wife should let her go.
But he knew that his wife would not have the heart to watch her eyes being gouged out alive. Such a scene would be too cruel for her to watch.
Luo Lan looked at Madam Lu, who was clinging to his feet like a toad, with an indifferent expression.
