Luo Lan glanced at Leng Yun and said to Dazhi softly:
"Don't be afraid, with my sister here, even wolves, tigers and leopards won't dare to come near us."
Leng Yun turned around and looked at Dazhi coldly, a hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, then he turned around and strode away, followed closely by the people waiting for him outside.
After leaving Prince Yu's Mansion and getting on the carriage, Leng Yun suddenly stopped and said to Xiao Zhuzi:
"That idiot named Dazhi looks familiar to me. Let's check where he came from."
Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly explained:
"No need to check. That idiot is the man that Princess Yu and Nie Chang'an saved in Shuntian Prefecture after a bet they made. I heard he was seriously injured at the time, and it seems his brain isn't working properly, and he's lost his memory."
Hearing this, Leng Yun suddenly realized something and slapped his head with the folding fan in his hand, saying fiercely:
"I...ah! I was wondering why he looked so familiar. So that's it."
Hearing him say this, Xiao Zhuzi looked at him in confusion, "Prince, how do you look familiar? Xiao Zhuzi doesn't know."
Leng Yun half-closed his eyes and pondered for a while, ignoring Xiao Zhuzi. Instead, he quickly got on the carriage with a serious expression...
…
Three days later, Eunuch Liu arrived at Prince Yu's mansion with the imperial edict.
Luo Lan and others knelt in front of the hall, quietly waiting for the order. She had been worried these days, but she couldn't remember which patient would die from taking her medicine. There were no critically ill patients these days.
She thought it was the Dog Prince trying to scare her, but unexpectedly, the imperial edict really came.
Eunuch Liu looked at her, cleared his throat, and then chanted:
"The Emperor decrees,
say:
I have received a report from Shuntian Prefecture that Princess Yu ignored the cause of her patient's illness and arbitrarily prescribed some unknown and strange medicines, which led to the death of Xu Tianhu's mother. I cannot sit idly by and watch this matter. I hereby order Princess Yu to enter the palace immediately to question her. I decree this."
After hearing this imperial edict, Luo Lan frowned, and the people behind her were even more stunned.
After announcing the imperial edict, Eunuch Liu bowed and handed it to her.
"Princess Yu, please!"
Luo Lan took the imperial edict in his hand, bowed and said:
"Please wait a moment, eunuch. I'll go and tell Prince Yu so that he won't worry."
Eunuch Liu nodded in understanding, "Princess Yu, please hurry up, the Emperor is waiting."
After Luo Lan nodded, Eunuch Liu turned and walked out.
She frowned and said to Agang:
"Agang, I'm not sure what's going on here. I don't know when I'll be back after I leave. I'll put up a notice at the door saying the clinic is temporarily closed and will reopen when I return."
Ah Gang pursed his lips and nodded heavily, "I understand, don't worry, Princess."
She then said to Ah Hou and Ah Hong:
"Explain this to the servants in the mansion. Don't tell the prince. When I'm not around, you have to cooperate with Agang and discuss all matters in the mansion, big or small. Do you understand?"
Ah Hong took two steps forward with some concern, "Princess, I will accompany you to the palace."
"Need not."
Luo Lan waved her hands. She knew in her heart that if someone really died after taking her medicine, she would definitely be responsible.
There will definitely be people who will take the opportunity to suppress her. Those who dislike her are not just that dog prince, but also Lu Wei of Shuntian Prefecture and Doctor Bai of the Imperial Hospital...
Therefore, she cannot implicate others, and she has to face this matter alone.
After instructing these people, she hurried to the backyard again. However, she did not intend to tell Leng Yu the reason why the Emperor summoned her into the palace, nor did she intend to tell him that she was going to the palace, otherwise he would definitely be worried.
When she entered the yard, she happened to meet Ah Cai who came in with tea. She waved to Ah Cai, who came to her and saluted in a low voice.
"princess……"
After she nodded, he whispered in her ear:
"I need to go to the palace. It was mentioned by the dog prince a few days ago. But don't tell the prince about this. If he mentions it, just say that I went to treat a critically ill patient and I'm not sure when I will be back."
Hearing this, Ah Cai looked at her with some concern, "Princess, the Emperor won't make things difficult for you, will he? Is this the work of that bastard prince?"
Luo Lan pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'm not sure yet, but you and Ayu have to take care of the prince's meals and daily life these days. I will try to deal with this matter as soon as possible."
Having said that, she was actually unsure in her heart. She still couldn't figure out what was going on. She would know everything after entering the palace.
Leng Yu saw her come in, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Lan'er, are there no patients? Why are you back?"
Luo Lan came in front of him, looked at him gently, raised her hand and pressed on the tip of his nose as usual, and said affectionately:
"Yu, I received a critically ill patient and may be away for two days."
Hearing this, he nervously pulled her hand and asked, "Lan'er, how long will you be gone?"
She looked at him and smiled softly, "It won't take too long, I'm not sure. I'm a doctor, I can't just stand by and watch someone die. This patient is far from the capital, so it might take a little longer."
"Then...you should take two more people with you."
Leng Yu's face darkened. He held her hand tightly, put it on his mouth and kissed it, looking reluctant to let go.
Luo Lan held back her tears and stroked his face, saying softly:
"I won't be gone for long. These few days, you must take your medicine on time and listen to Ayu and Ahong."
"Don't worry!"
Leng Yu looked at her and nodded heavily, "I will definitely listen to you and wait for you to come back home."
Looking at his pretending to be strong, Luo Lan felt indescribable feelings in her heart. If the emperor had not summoned her, if someone had not reported her to the emperor, she would not have left him no matter how big the matter was. She would still give him acupuncture and massage every day.
Outside, Ah Cai came to call her, "Princess, it's getting late, it's time to get going."
Luo Lan glanced outside, lowered her head, kissed him lightly on the forehead, and whispered in his ear:
"Wait until I come back."
After saying this, she turned around quickly and strode away.
She didn't dare to stay, for she was afraid that if she left a second later, she would burst into tears; she also didn't want him to say goodbye to her, for she was afraid that if he said goodbye to her, they would never see each other again.
Looking at her back, two lines of tears suddenly overflowed from the corners of Leng Yu's eyes. He knew in his heart that Lan'er would not leave him if nothing serious happened.
After all, Prince Yu’s Mansion was weak and was being targeted.
But he still believed in his heart that his Lan'er could handle it and his Lan'er could come back.
…
Luo Lan followed Eunuch Liu into the palace alone. Walking on the wide road of the palace, she had a serious expression and felt extremely melancholy. On this trip, no matter whether it was a strong wind or a heavy rain, she would not escape from what she had to face.
This time, the emperor summoned her to the imperial study again. She had originally thought that the emperor would be furious with her, but unexpectedly, when the emperor saw her, his face was calm. After she bowed, he asked softly:
"I'm sure you know why I called you here. Tell me, what's going on?"
