When Luo Lan brought Lele in, Leng Yu was a little curious. Lele came to him, knelt on her knees, and bit her lips hard.
Leng Yu looked at him puzzledly, then looked at Luo Lan.
"Lele, what's this?"
Luo Lan looked at Lele with an unpleasant expression, "Talk to your father yourself."
Lele lowered his head and whispered:
"Dad, I let Huaiyu go. I was wrong. Please punish me."
I originally thought that Leng Yu would be furious when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, he stroked his forehead with a calm expression and said softly:
"Those who should leave cannot be kept. Even if he has committed the most heinous crime in the world, I will let him go this time because he has called me dad for more than ten years. I just hope that he will not do evil things again, otherwise, I will not let him go."
Although he said this to Lele, Luo Lan knew that he actually wanted to say it to himself.
She suddenly felt sad. She really didn't want Huaiyu to get into trouble, but she couldn't guarantee whether Huaiyu would go to find Wu Yuanzhang or someone from Beihai Kingdom after she got out.
Luo Lan stepped forward, helped Lele up, and comforted her softly:
"Go back to your room and rest first. Mom has something to say to your dad."
Lele nodded, lowered his head, and quickly walked out the door.
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan and others also retreated. Only she and Leng Yu were left here.
She turned around and looked at Leng Yu, and asked seriously:
"Where are you going?"
"How do you know?"
Leng Yu didn't want to tell her, fearing that she would get anxious, but she saw through it at a glance.
"It's so late, Zhang Yuan and the others haven't returned home yet, and you're all wearing night clothes, you must be going out to do something..."
Knowing that he couldn't hide it, Leng Yu didn't want to hide it anymore, so he replied directly:
"We want to explore Prince Xi's mansion at night to see if there's any trace of An An."
Hearing about An An, Luo Lan immediately agreed anxiously.
"I heard from Lele that Xiaobao came here this afternoon. He suspected An'an was in the Xiwang Mansion. But if you go there rashly, won't it be dangerous? Lengxi will definitely be on high alert during this period."
"Even if there's a slight possibility, we still have to go and take a look. But don't worry, we're ready. You just wait for news at home."
"But……"
"Lan'er, I know you've been very worried about An'an's situation recently, but don't worry, if she's in Prince Xi's Mansion, we'll do everything we can to bring her back..."
Luo Lan nodded and asked again,
"What are you going to do with those two people from the North Sea Kingdom?"
Leng Yu blinked a few times and sneered.
"Prince Xi has done a great service by capturing two people from the Beihai Kingdom. Tomorrow, I will hang them at the city's vegetable market entrance so that all the people in the city will remember Leng Xi's achievements."
"Are you trying to use this to stir up conflict between the North Sea Kingdom and Lengxi?"
"What else can we do? Huaiyu can be used by the people of Beihai Kingdom, so Lengxi will naturally be in cahoots with them. I asked him to capture two people from Beihai Kingdom just to test his bottom line. I didn't expect him to actually do it. In this case, I have to let the people of the city know about the contribution that Prince Xi has made to the peace of Daning Kingdom."
At this point, he blinked, and a distant look appeared in his eyes.
Luo Lan knew that he had promised the emperor that no matter what time it was, he would never harm his brothers. This was a death order given to him by the emperor, and it was also forcing him.
He did this in the hope of creating a rift between Lengxi and the people of Beihai. Without the support of the people of Beihai, Lengxi might not dare to rebel on the 18th day of the first lunar month.
However, he underestimated Lengxi's ambition and the determination of the Beihai people.
…
It was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. On this cold and gloomy night, Leng Yu, Zhang Yuan and others, put on night clothes, rode on their horses, and headed straight for Xi Wang Mansion.
Looking at their backs as they left, Luo Lan's heart rose to his throat.
She knew that Leng Yu was anxious to know An An's whereabouts, so he rashly went to Chuangxi Palace without any certainty, which was definitely a huge risk.
Facts have proved that Luo Lan's worries are not unreasonable. Leng Yu may have made a mistake this time, or he may have been too eager for success. In short, he did lack some considerations, which meant that something was destined to happen tonight.
At this time, Leng Xi had made all the preparations and was just waiting to catch Leng Yu in a trap.
Leng Yu brought Zhang Yuan and Xiao Tanzi into Leng Xi's study very smoothly. Xiao Ningzi and A Hou were waiting outside, while A Yu was waiting alone outside the Prince Xi's Mansion.
At this moment, there was nothing else in Prince Xi's Mansion except the occasional sound of the wind blowing across one's face.
After Leng Yu and others arrived at Leng Xi's study, they went straight to the painting without much thought.
The moment Leng Yu turned the button, a door suddenly appeared behind the painting.
Zhang Yuan was about to rush in when Leng Yu hurriedly reminded him.
"careful……"
Zhang Yuan looked at Leng Yu in surprise, but he frowned in confusion.
"Why do I feel like today is going surprisingly smoothly?"
The little jar proudly raised the sword in his hand and said, "It went smoothly, didn't it? Let's go in and take a look."
Leng Yu still shook his head.
"No, I always feel that it's eerily quiet here. You guys wait here, I'll go in and take a look alone."
Zhang Yuan hurriedly pulled him back.
"Your Highness, please wait here. I'll go in and take a look."
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the secret room. Leng Yu stretched out his hand, motioning them to be quiet, and then he leaned over to listen.
