Luo Lan could tell from his tone that what he said must be related to Luo Xue. She had just laid down and wanted to support herself to sit up. Seeing this, Leng Yu hurried forward to help her sit down and put the pillow in place for her.
Only after she found a comfortable position did she look at him in surprise.
"What did you just say? What's related to Luo Xue?"
Leng Yu glanced around and saw that Luo Xue was not there, then he shook his head and sighed.
"Just now, while reviewing memorials, I saw one sent in from Prince Ming's Mansion. I originally thought that Leng Ming was unwell and asked for leave, but guess what happened?"
Hearing about Leng Ming, Luo Lan's expression suddenly became nervous. At the same time, Luo Xue, who had just returned from pouring medicine, heard Leng Yu mention Leng Ming and also pricked up her ears to listen.
Leng Yu breathed a sigh of relief and laughed sarcastically.
"He actually asked me for permission to marry him. Do you know who he asked me to give him?"
These words made Luo Xue's face turn pale behind the screen. They had only been divorced for a few days, and he already fell for someone else? This Leng Ming was truly cruel.
Luo Lan also looked at him in astonishment. Leng Yu continued angrily:
"He actually asked me to give Princess Xingnan to him as Prince Ming's consort."
“Pah…”
When Luo Xue heard this, the bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a bang. She realized that she had just been distracted and hurriedly squatted down to pick it up.
Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan, frowned, and came behind the screen. When he saw Luo Xue, he asked softly:
"Did you hear what I said just now?"
Luo Xue's tears were already sliding down her cheeks. In order not to be discovered by the emperor, she did not dare to look up and nodded directly.
"That's good."
Leng Yu knew that she must be very sad at this moment. He sighed softly.
"Don't clean up, I'll have the servants clean up later. Come in!"
Luo Xue's hand that was picking up the fragments paused for a moment, then she stood up from the ground, raised her sleeve in panic, wiped her eyes, then bit her lip and walked towards the screen.
Seeing her cry, Luo Lan comforted her distressedly.
"Xue'er, don't worry. Leng Ming has caught a cold and hasn't attended the morning court for two days. He might not have done this."
Luo Xue looked up at Leng Yu,
"Is that memorial written in his handwriting?"
Leng Yu frowned and shook his head.
"The memorial was written by someone else, but he signed it. I recognize his handwriting."
Hearing Leng Yu say this, Luo Lan hurriedly looked at Luo Xue. Seeing her ugly expression, she winked at Leng Yu, but Leng Yu said bluntly:
"This matter cannot be concealed by me not speaking of it. Since he has already submitted the memorial, I cannot pretend not to see it. I am going to send someone to invite Princess Xingnan, Prince Daji, Yongping, and Yongning to the Imperial Study to discuss this matter. I thought I would tell Luo Xue in advance so that she can be mentally prepared, so that she will not complain about me again after my imperial decree is issued."
"hehe!"
Luo Xue suddenly shook her head and smiled bitterly,
"What can I complain about? He's a prince, we've already divorced, so it's perfectly normal for him to marry someone else. Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty. Go ahead and do your work. I'm here for you."
Leng Yu frowned and looked at her.
"Do you want to ask Leng Ming? If he can change his mind and withdraw the memorial, I can make concessions."
"No need."
Luo Xue sneered and then shook her head.
"I'm done with him, there's no need to look for him again. Your Majesty, don't worry about me regarding this matter. Just handle it impartially."
Leng Yu turned to look at Luo Lan, and seeing her pale face, he asked with concern:
"My lady looks unhappy, are you feeling unwell?"
Luo Lan shook his head vigorously.
"I'm fine. My husband, go and do your work. Just let Luo Xue stay with me."
In fact, she felt distressed seeing Luo Xue so sad, and wanted to persuade Luo Xue in private.
Leng Yu also knew what she was thinking, so he nodded and went out.
"Sister, do you want some water? I'll make you some sugar water!"
"No need, Luo Xue, come sit here, I have something to tell you."
Luo Xue seemed to be afraid that she would mention this matter, so she forced a smile.
"Sister, I'm fine, don't worry about me, let me pour you a cup of tea!"
Luo Lan knew that she wanted to avoid this matter, but it would not happen just because she wanted to avoid it.
She called her again,
"Xue, I'm not thirsty. Come over here and talk to me."
Luo Xue then put down the teacup she had just picked up and sat down beside her.
"Sister, you don't need to persuade me. I'm fine, really fine. I've already let it go during this period of time. Being with Leng Ming has no other benefit except increasing each other's pain."
"Xue, I know you and Leng Ming have feelings for each other. Your feelings have been worn away by the trivialities of life and Chang's mischief. But this time, I want to remind you, based on your understanding of Leng Ming, think about it: could he have written this memorial requesting imperial decree for marriage? Is it his original intention?"
Luo Lan's question made Luo Xue stunned for a moment.
"He did say that he would only love me in this life, but things are different now. We've already divorced, so who can guarantee that he won't change his mind? Besides, if he marries Princess Xingnan as Prince Ming's consort, it will be more beneficial to his position in the court. For him, this will only benefit him, not harm him."
Luo Lan patted her shoulder and reminded her:
"You've been with Leng Ming for five or six years, and Duoduo is already three years old. Don't you even have this little trust in him? That Chang is vicious and capable of anything."
Hearing this, Luo Xue frowned and looked at her.
"You mean, this memorial requesting imperial decree wasn't written by Leng Ming?"
Luo Lan chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm not sure, but it's possible. Forging imperial edicts has happened before."
"Forging an imperial edict? That's a capital crime with confiscation of property. What will he do if the emperor finds out?"
Seeing that she was still worried about Leng Ming, Luo Lan sighed helplessly.
"Leng Ming is actually quite pitiful. He doesn't dare to offend his mother, and he can't bear to leave his lover. He was in a very bad mood at the hunting grounds the day before yesterday. So, I doubt this memorial was written by him."
Hearing this, Luo Xue stood up from the bed.
"No, I'm going to ask him now."
"Xue, you can go. Let An An and Yi Cheng accompany you. Remember, you must not conflict with Chang. She is very good at making up stories about people. You have to be more careful with her."
"I know. I'm going to find Leng Ming. I want to find out why he wants to find another wife in such a short time. Don't worry, I won't say a word to Chang."
Leaving these words behind, she hurried away. Looking at her back, Luo Lan shook his head in pain.
Imperial Study
Xingnan got up early and was angry with Xiao Ningzi, so she was bedridden. Even if the emperor invited her, she would not come.
Yongping, Yongning and Daji came before the emperor and bowed.
"Long live the emperor."
"Eldest sister, second sister, Prince Daji, please take a seat. I have called you here today to discuss some family matters with you."
