In fact, the reason why Leng Yu said this before he left was because he knew in his heart that Leng Xi must be afraid that those people would betray him, so he would definitely be desperate and find a way to get rid of those people. If he could show up in person, it might not be a bad thing. Even if he didn't show up in person, there would be no loss by scaring him.
Leng Xi didn't know that Zhang Yuan and others had been waiting there for a long time. He just didn't expect that Zhang Yuan would come back right after Leng Xi left.
"Your Highness, they did make some moves, but the ones who showed up were all strangers, and they didn't find any evidence against Leng Xi."
Leng Yu nodded solemnly.
"I guessed it long ago. Leng Xi wouldn't show his true colors at this critical moment. Lock him up first! We'll try him again when we have time."
"yes."
"Oh right, there are only six days until the 18th day of the first lunar month. We need to make arrangements in advance these few days to ensure that no matter how big the disturbance in the palace is, the people in the city will not be disturbed. The Daning Kingdom is currently in a state of internal and external troubles. When I ascend the throne, there will definitely be a major upheaval..."
"Your Highness, the external threat refers to the people of Beihai Country, who we cannot control. The internal threat is Leng Xi. It is better to find a reason to eliminate him before you ascend the throne to prevent future troubles."
Although Zhang Yuan's words made sense, Leng Yu still shook his head helplessly.
"I promised Father before that, no matter what, I would not harm my brothers. If we arrest him now, Father will be heartbroken. Besides, he ordered everyone to do everything, so he can clear himself of all charges. We have no real evidence. If we arrest him now, people will inevitably think I'm narrow-minded and intolerant of my brothers."
Leng Yu's words made Zhang Yuan nod silently. He only thought about the present and did not think about these things. No wonder the prince had been unwilling to take Leng Xi down. It turned out that he had considered so much.
…
In order to successfully find An An's whereabouts, Luo Lan thought about it and decided to make a breakthrough on Xiao Bao.
At noon, Xiaobao came to Prince Yu's mansion. As soon as he came in, he couldn't wait to find Lele and kept asking questions.
"Is there any news about Sister An An?"
Lele looked at him puzzledly.
"Why are you so anxious? Why are you sweating so much?"
Xiaobao lowered his voice and explained:
"My father wouldn't let me go out, let alone come to Prince Yu's Mansion. I sneaked out while he was away."
"Oh, there's no news about Sister An An, but I heard something and I don't know if I should tell you. My mother won't let me."
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly?"
Seeing Xiaobao's impatient look, Lele whispered in his ear,
"I heard that An An is in your Xiwang Mansion."
"impossible……"
Xiaobao immediately raised his voice and shook his head vigorously.
"Impossible, I've searched the entire Prince Xi's Mansion and can't find it."
Lele waved to him hurriedly, turned around and ran to the door, closed it, then came to his side and said mysteriously:
"Does your Xiwang Mansion have a secret room?"
Xiaobao really didn't know the answer to this question, so he immediately shook his head.
“It seems not.”
"No or you don't know?"
Lele's questioning made Xiaobao wonder, "Maybe I don't know. I don't know if there is one. Anyway, I haven't seen it."
Lele suddenly stepped forward, put his hands on Xiaobao's shoulders, and looked at him seriously.
"Xiaobao, are you really willing to help us find Sister An An?"
Xiaobao nodded heavily without even thinking about it.
"Of course, otherwise why would I sneak out and risk being beaten to death by my father?"
"Well, listen carefully now. Sister An An is in your Xiwang Mansion. When you return, don't mention this to anyone else. Observe your father secretly. If he's the only one who knows about this secret room, he'll definitely personally bring food to Sister An An. Do you understand me?"
Xiaobao tilted his head and looked at him, nodding as if he understood.
"I see. What you mean is that wherever my dad sneaks food into, there's something wrong there, right?"
"Yes, Xiaobao, you are so smart."
Xiaobao grinned, scratched his head, and chuckled, "Thank you for the compliment. I'll go back now. Wait for my good news."
An An patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, remember, don't let your father find out about your abnormality, and don't mention this to anyone else. Otherwise, not only will we fail to save An An, but we will also hurt An An. Do you understand?"
"I understand. Don't worry, Xiaobao is a man now. He can do this well."
"Okay, then you can go out through the back door later. When you come back, you can also come out through the back door. I will tell the servants guarding the back door to open the door for you as soon as they see you coming."
Xiaobao instantly felt that he was going to do something great, and nodded seriously.
"Okay, wait for my good news."
After saying that, he trotted away. Lele walked up to him and watched him walk away before going back into the house.
At this time, Luo Lan came out from the inner room, looking solemnly at the direction where Xiao Bao left, muttering,
"I hope An An is not in danger."
"Mom, was what I just said right?"
Luo Lan stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and nodded with satisfaction.
"You've done very well, Lele. You've grown up and can help me share my worries. I'm very happy. Thank you."
"Mother, please don't say that. We are also responsible for Sister An An's disappearance. It was us who begged you to leave Mr. Huang in the mansion. If it weren't for that, An An wouldn't have been lost, and none of this would have happened."
