Prince Yu's Mansion
In five years, the children have grown taller and have made great progress in both literature and martial arts.
Today, Huang Yun came to Leng Yu's study again with her calligraphy. Seeing Luo Lan was there, he pursed his lips awkwardly.
"Princess Yu is here too. You guys are busy. I'll come back later."
Luo Lan glanced at Leng Yu, shrugged, and said nonchalantly:
"Mr. Huang, do you have anything to say? Feel free to say it..."
Luo Lan knew that Huang Yun always liked to come to Leng Yu and discuss things with her, taking her handwritten words. This happened almost every day, and she had become accustomed to it.
Perhaps because he was a teacher for several children, Leng Yu was quite polite to him before. However, in the past year, he became a little annoyed with Huang Yun's constant questioning, and he even suggested replacing Huang Yun.
However, the children liked Mr. Huang. More importantly, under his guidance, the children made rapid progress. Leng Yu had to deal with Mr. Huang's questions occasionally.
Luo Lan happened to be here today, and they were talking about entering the palace tomorrow. He simply waved his hand and refused:
"Mr. Huang, I'm busy today. Please come back after the New Year!"
Hearing this, Huang Yun was obviously a little disappointed, but he still gave a forced smile, then nodded, said "Oh", picked up his calligraphy, and left the study.
It was not until he left that Leng Yu frowned and sighed:
"I increasingly feel that there's something fishy about Mr. Huang. He comes to my study every day, and I can't hide from him even if I want to."
"What can we do? The children like him after all. I've asked the children several times for their opinions, and they say Mr. Huang is a very serious and patient teacher. They don't want to change teachers and want Mr. Huang to teach them all the time."
"But with his knowledge, he could have easily been the top scorer in the imperial examination, but he didn't even get third place. Doesn't my lady find this strange?"
"What's so strange about that? He just didn't perform well! Wasn't he also very disappointed when he didn't get a good grade in the exam that year? What's there to doubt?"
"But he's always trying to get close to me. Is that okay?"
this……
Luo Lan held his chin with one hand, pondered for a moment, and nodded gently.
"That's a bit strange, but a few years have passed, and we haven't found out why he wants to get close to you. And every time he approaches you, it's really just to discuss his calligraphy with you. That's really a bit strange..."
At this point, she suddenly took a breath as if she had thought of something.
"Could it be? Could it be that he likes you?"
Hearing this, Leng Yu choked on his saliva, then glared at her with a sullen face.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I am a man, and he is also a man..."
At this point, Leng Yu waved his hands impatiently.
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. After this New Year, I'll talk to the children and find them a new teacher. This Huang Yun can't be used anymore."
Luo Lan shrugged, feeling amused, and then changed the subject.
"Okay, let's discuss this matter after the New Year. By the way, I just mentioned that someone came to my Huichuntang and took a lot of cold medicine. I asked Ah Hong to investigate and found out that this person took away all the cold medicine from all the pharmacies in the capital. What do you think of this?"
When this matter was mentioned, Leng Yu nodded solemnly, then crossed his arms over his chest and said slowly:
"This is indeed a problem, but there's more to it than that. I've also ordered people to investigate. Another group of people has bought up a lot of food from around the capital. It seems that a force we're not aware of is approaching the capital, waiting for an opportunity to strike..."
"Aren't you already prepared? What else do we need to do?"
Leng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly:
"Well, three days ago, I ordered people to guard all four city gates. No strangers were allowed to enter the city. I also deployed enough people inside and outside the capital to prevent even a fly from getting in. But I don't understand who did this. What did he want to do?"
Luo Lan blinked his handsome eyes, then said nervously:
"Tomorrow, Father will read out the imperial edict appointing you as the new emperor. Who do you think will be most affected by this edict?"
"Cold Creek?"
"Yes, perhaps he knew the news and is waiting for an opportunity. The two most likely contenders for the throne are Leng Xi and Leng Ming. Leng Ming will not compete for the throne because of Luo Xue and his personality. Therefore, the only one who did these things is Leng Xi."
Leng Yu looked at her in confusion.
"But in recent years, Leng Xi has been more calm and steady. Because of Xiaobao, he's been getting along quite well with us. Could he be pretending to be something?"
Luo Lan's mouth curled up, and he said seriously:
"I think he's just putting on an act in front of us to make us let down our guard. He's the one who's going to cause some trouble tomorrow."
A few dark glances flashed across Leng Yu's brows, and then he nodded and said in a cold voice:
"Now that you've said that, I no longer doubt my guess. Actually, I've thought about this before. Given his personality, he wouldn't be content with mediocrity, nor would he happily accept me as the emperor. However, I've already discussed it with your father. If an enemy comes, we'll fight him. If a flood comes, we'll block it with earth. Leng Xi's small force isn't anything to be afraid of. I've already deployed troops outside the city. If he dares to make any rash moves, we'll immediately apprehend him..."
"That's good. I feel relieved now. Okay, I'll go check on the children. The capital has been a bit chaotic these days, so we can't let them go out again."
"I'll go with you, and I'll talk to Yang Feng about going to the palace together tomorrow."
Luo Lan nodded, and followed Leng Yu out of the study and headed straight for the backyard.
In the past five years, Luo Lan's face is still as beautiful as it was back then, but her face has become more calm and cold, and even has a look that does not allow others to violate it.
Although Leng Yu's face looked a little weathered, he was still as heroic as ever. In addition, he had been practicing martial arts diligently in recent years, and his kung fu had improved a lot. Therefore, when he walked, he seemed to be carrying a breath of awe-inspiring breeze.
When they arrived at the martial arts training ground in the back garden, four children were learning kung fu from Yang Feng. Huaiyu, who was fourteen years old at the time, was already as tall as Yang Feng's shoulders. He had a strong build and a cold face. At first glance, he looked somewhat like Leng Yun back then.
Although An An is only twelve years old, she looks as elegant and refined as a lotus flower emerging from the water, especially her eyes. Every time Luo Lan sees them, she thinks of Long Xiaomin.
Yi Cheng has long since shed his beggar-like appearance and grown into a handsome young man.
Although Lele is the youngest, his height is already as high as his older brothers and sisters. His bright eyes and handsome features are very similar to Leng Yu when he was young.
And there is Xiaobao. Over the past five years, although these children often fought and quarreled, Xiaobao never fell behind in his studies. It's just that he is slightly shorter than the other four children. However, the heroic look on his face is somewhat Leng Xi's.
