Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Zhang Yuan came back to report,
"Your Majesty, the Queen went straight back to Prince Yu's Mansion, saying it was to make it easier to change Prince Xi's medicine tomorrow."
Leng Yu frowned for a moment, then waved his hand pretending to be indifferent.
"Got it, back off."
"yes."
After Zhang Yuan left, Leng Yu no longer had the heart to review the memorials, and he suddenly felt a little irritated.
He confirmed in his heart that there might really be a problem between him and Luo Lan.
There seemed to be a rift in their hearts.
He stood up from behind the dragon table and walked slowly to the door. The eunuch on duty at the door was about to ask him if he needed anything, but he waved his hand.
"I want to walk around on my own, don't follow me."
The eunuchs naturally stood there with their heads bowed. He walked alone towards the imperial garden in the night breeze.
February is just a dozen days away, and from February comes spring.
Normally, the wind wasn't that cold, but he felt a chill all over his body.
He tightened his cloak around himself and looked up at the sky.
There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes watching him and spurring him on.
He knew very well that he and Luo Lan could never return to their previous life. The throne put too much pressure on him.
However, for the Leng family's ancestors to feel at ease, he must defend the Great Ning Kingdom well.
…
The next morning
Luo Lan had just woken up from her sleep when she heard A Cai knocking on the door.
"My Lady, Huaiyu is gone."
Hearing this, Luo Lan woke up instantly, and An An also woke up at this time.
She couldn't wait to ask at the door:
"Come in, where is Huaiyu?"
Ah Cai pushed the door open and walked in, holding a letter in her hand.
"Early in the morning, someone from the palace came to pick up Lele and Huaiyu to go burn incense to the Emperor, but Huaiyu was missing. This was found in his room."
Luo Lan couldn't wait to take the letter, opened it, and saw Huaiyu's handwriting appear in front of her.
"Mom, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Thank you for letting me call you mom for fourteen years. During these fourteen years, your love for me is no less than that of my own mother. However, I did something wrong under the instigation of others. I know I feel guilty towards you and dad. Please say sorry to dad and me on my behalf. I am leaving. I want to find a quiet place to wash away my sins. Please take good care of yourself. One day, I will come back to see you, dad, and my brothers and sisters.
Huaiyu's own handwriting, don't worry! "
Looking at the familiar font and the contents of the letter, Luo Lan suddenly burst into tears.
She couldn't believe that Huaiyu had called her mother affectionately in front of her yesterday, but left without saying goodbye early this morning.
No wonder he kowtowed to me and admitted his mistakes last night?
She suddenly felt that she was really stupid. She didn't even think that Huaiyu had a reason for doing that.
"When did he leave? How long has he been gone?"
Ah Cai shook her head.
"I just asked the people at the door, and they said he left before daybreak."
Luo Lan held the letter in his hand, turning around anxiously, muttering,
"Where can this child go?"
Seeing this, An An took two steps forward and said carefully:
"Mom, I know where he went."
Hearing this, Luo Lan turned around and looked at her in astonishment.
"You know? Where did he go?"
An An pursed her lips and said, "He said he was going to Ducheng to find his uncle."
Cross the city?
"Why didn't you tell me last night?"
“He won’t let…”
Luo Lan sighed deeply.
"If he can go to Ducheng, that would be a good thing. Ah Cai, send a letter to the Zhang family in Ducheng and tell Dazhi that if he sees Huaiyu, write to me and let him know he's safe."
Ah Cai nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I will do it right away."
An An stood there and said aggrievedly:
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's really Huaiyu who won't let me. Are you angry with me?"
Luo Lan turned around and looked at her.
"An An, don't be so unfamiliar with your mother in the future. Your mother won't get angry easily. You will be the same as you were before, okay?"
An An nodded heavily, "Mom, I understand."
"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you later."
"Mom, I'll take you out."
Luo Lan turned around, looked at her cute and pretty face, and said lovingly:
"Don't send me off. Ask the maid to wash your face and do your makeup. Look at your little face. You're almost like a little cat."
An An stuck out her tongue and nodded, "Then take care, Mom. Remember to come back and see me often."
Luo Lan looked at her, smiled and nodded. Ah Hong hurried over to help her tidy her hair and put on her cloak, then followed her out the door.
…
?Inside the Shou Palace.
Leng Yu was the first to burn incense to the late emperor, followed by Leng Ming, and the rest of the people also began to burn incense one after another.
After everyone took turns burning incense, Leng Zian sighed.
"Your Majesty, originally, the Imperial Uncle was planning to see my Imperial Brother off for the final leg before setting off again. However, after careful calculation, the Imperial Uncle realized that the cost of setting up camp outside the capital for my 50,000-man army, including food and necessities, was quite high. Furthermore, my return trip took a month and a half, and I was truly worried about my family. Therefore, I decided to return home first."
"Uncle, are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't worry, I will take care of all the expenses for all your subordinates."
Leng Zian waved his hand directly.
"That's not what I meant. Even if I stayed one more night, my brother would have already passed away. Watching him being buried is hard for me to accept. Just think of me running away!"
