Luo Lan looked at him curiously, and Leng Yu continued, "If anything happens in the future, my lady, please don't sneak here. If I can't find you, I'll be so worried that I'll die."
Luo Lan blinked a few times in amusement.
"Then please don't mess with me, my husband. Otherwise, I will hide here and never come out again."
Leng Yu frowned and raised his hand to gently press the tip of her nose.
"Little girl, I'm not afraid of this. What if I ask you to stay at home for the rest of your life? Even if you don't miss me, you will miss the children."
Speaking of the children, Luo Lan sighed worriedly.
"Alas, none of these kids give me peace of mind. I don't know where Huaiyu has gone. Dazhi sent me a letter saying he ordered people to search everywhere around Ducheng, but they couldn't find him. I hope nothing has happened to him."
"Everyone has their own aspirations. Since he's leaving without caring about your concerns, why should you worry about him? By the way, your father and mother will surely know about your injury tomorrow morning. They will definitely come to the palace to see you then. Do you want to hide it from them by claiming you're seriously ill, or tell them the truth?"
"Of course, the truth cannot be told openly. Besides, I think I should be dead."
"Don't talk nonsense."
A deep furrow appeared on Leng Yu's brow, and he grabbed her wrist with an angry look.
"If you die, how can I live? For the sake of the children and the people of Daning, you cannot die."
Luo Lan couldn't help but chuckle.
"I'm not saying I'm really dead, but I'm pretending to be dead. Only in this way can the people who hurt me surface."
"That won't work either. It's unlucky. You can say you're seriously ill, even if you'll be bedridden forever, but you can't say you're dead. I won't allow you to use that as an excuse."
"But didn't we agree that I'd use my serious injury as a pretext to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"I promised you, but only if you don't die. If I announce to the public that my queen is dead, others won't be scared to death, but I'll be scared to death by you first. This is absolutely unacceptable."
As he said this, his face became extremely solemn and he began to feel a little irritable.
Seeing this, Luo Lan quickly raised her hand and gently pressed on his Adam's apple.
"Okay, then don't say I'm dead, say I'm seriously ill, but what if that doesn't lure out the people who want to harm me?"
"Those who want to harm you will never have the chance to do so again. From now on, I will always be by your side."
"My husband, you're confused. How can you lure the snake out of its hole if you don't say I'm dead? Otherwise, you'll announce to the public that I'm too deeply poisoned and need to stay in bed for a long time to recuperate, and I'm probably not going to live long!"
"It's not good to say that you're going to die soon. That's unlucky."
Seeing that he disagreed with everything she said, she immediately turned cold.
"This won't work, that won't work. What can we do? You know what happened in the hunting grounds. Someone deliberately lured you away and tried to kill me. Now I suspect that this person is right next to us. If we don't find this person, we will live in fear every day..."
After she said this, Leng Yu suddenly looked at her as if he had thought of something.
"Lan'er, are you doubting the Second Princess?"
Luo Lan nodded solemnly. She didn't believe that it could be such a coincidence that someone led Leng Yu away without any intention of harming him. Moreover, Lele was obviously not seriously injured, but she said that Lele was seriously injured. All signs showed that the person who wanted to harm her simply wanted to harm her. This person was most likely the second princess who went to deliver the message.
Leng Yu immediately shook his head.
"No, even though Second Princess has a bad temper, she wouldn't do anything to harm others. Lan'er, you're overthinking it."
Luo Lan knew that her guess alone was not enough to convince Leng Yu, so now she had to find evidence.
"My husband, when the truth comes out, the answer will be revealed. It's too early to suspect anyone now."
While the two of them were chatting, the drip in the drip tube had finished. She pulled out the needle herself and looked at Leng Yu with a serious expression.
"My husband, I'm afraid it will take at least six months to heal this leg injury. I've thought about it. Tomorrow morning, the royal physician will come to treat me. When he does, you will tell him what to say to outsiders. You just have to do what I say. This time, no matter what, you must listen to me."
Seeing her extremely serious expression and her pale face, Leng Yu nodded immediately.
"Okay, whatever you say, but you have to go and rest now. You look so miserable."
Seeing him agree, Luo Lan nodded and smiled with relief.
"Okay, my husband, close your eyes, let's go back."
Leng Yu did as she said, and just as she closed her eyes, she waved her arms and they returned to the bed in Fengyi Palace.
To prevent the pain from her leg injury, she took painkillers, which allowed her to sleep until noon.
When she opened her eyes, she saw her mother and Luo Xue sitting by the bed, looking at her with tears in their eyes.
Just as she was about to speak, she heard Luo Xue turn around and say:
"Doctor Wang, my sister is awake. Please take a look at her."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang slowly stepped forward. Leng Yu and Liu Dechang, who had just finished their morning court session, hurried over. Seeing that Doctor Wang was going to examine Luo Lan, he immediately instructed everyone:
"Ah Hong and Ah Cai, Madam Fuguo and the Second Miss, please go down and rest. We'll invite them over after the imperial physician finishes examining the patients."
He turned back and instructed Liu Dechang:
"Your Excellency the Duke, please go down first!"
Liu Dechang nodded seriously, then waved his hand, signaling Xiaoling and Luo Xue to follow him out.
Although Xiaoling and Luoxue were very worried about Luo Lan's injury, they could only do as the emperor ordered.
After a while, when only Leng Yu, Luo Lan and Doctor Wang were left here, Leng Yu gave the order with a serious expression:
"Doctor Wang, when the late emperor was alive, he held you in high regard. This was not only due to your superior medical skills, but also to your integrity, as you are not swayed by power or tempted by wealth."
Doctor Wang was somewhat flattered by the emperor's inexplicable praise.
He bowed to Leng Yu,
"Your Majesty is too kind to praise me. I, an old minister, cannot bear the responsibility."
"Doctor Wang, there's no need to be so modest. I didn't ask you to come here today to diagnose the Empress. As you know, the Empress can diagnose illnesses herself. Since she came, your Imperial Hospital has become much busier."
Why didn't the imperial physician come to diagnose the patient? Imperial Physician Wang immediately knelt on his knees in fear.
"Your Majesty, what did I do wrong? Please tell me clearly."
Leng Yu hurried forward to support him.
"Please stand up, Imperial Physician Wang. You have done nothing wrong. I summoned you today for one reason. When I just returned, I saw many people outside Fengyi Palace visiting the Empress. When you leave, you will announce to the outside world that the Empress is severely poisoned and that you are unsure whether you can cure her."
this……
Doctor Wang hesitated for a moment, and Leng Yu continued to instruct:
"Doctor Wang, just do as I say. Remember, don't let anyone else know about this. Otherwise, I will show no mercy."
