After a while, Ayu came back to report,
"Your Majesty, Empress, the jailer reported that the rats were not completely dead. One has survived, and the others are gradually regaining consciousness."
Hearing this, Yongping was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yongning with gratitude.
"Big Sister, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry!"
Yongping held her in his arms while crying.
"Yongning, how could I bear to hurt you? I remember when we first went to Nanping Country, you didn't allow others to bully me, and I suffered a lot of grievances because of that. At that time, you and I depended on each other for survival, and most of the time we comforted each other. Later, when I saw those people bullying you, I secretly vowed to make myself stronger and make those who bullied you pay the price they deserved. I didn't want to hurt others, but... but I really have no choice!"
"Sister, I know you don't want me to get pregnant for my own good. You're afraid that if I get pregnant with a royal child, someone will try to harm me, sister..."
Looking at the heartwarming scene of the two sisters hugging each other, Luo Lan was a little moved, and Leng Yu's eyes were a little red.
This hug seemed to last for an eternity, reminding them of the time they left the Daning Kingdom Palace. Back then, they had been like this too, hugging each other tightly, crying, and comforting each other...
As time passed, the same scene appeared again, but it was not because of the same thing.
Everyone was silent. Leng Yu covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then came to Luo Lan's bed. After looking at Luo Lan, Luo Lan smiled at him and signaled that he could speak.
Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, he sighed deeply.
"I did you some injustice by letting you marry into the Nanping Kingdom. Over the years, your father has been blaming himself. Until his death, your father still regretted not being able to see you one last time. But this regret, he can only take with him to his coffin."
As he said this, his eyes began to redden, and Yongping and Yongning also began to sob softly.
"Actually, the Queen told me last night that her injuries can be healed, but people only have one life. She doesn't want me to punish you, nor does she want to report this to the Emperor of Nanping. After thinking it over, I think she makes sense. So, let's end this matter here. As for how to deal with Prince Daji and Princess Xingnan, you can figure it out on your own!"
Hearing this, Yongping and Yongning seemed to be unable to react. They looked at each other, then burst into tears of joy and both knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Yongping murmured:
"Everyone says that the new queen of Daning is kindhearted. At first, I dismissed it, thinking it was just the common people praising you. Now it seems that they are right. You are not only kindhearted, but you also have a heart of mercy and righteousness. Please accept my greetings, my eldest sister."
After saying that, she leaned over to the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Seeing this, Yongning also looked at Luo Lan with a serious expression.
"Second Princess apologizes for the harm she has caused you. Please accept my greeting. When we return to Nanping Kingdom, we will never bother you again, nor will we do anything that would bring shame upon the Daning Kingdom."
Luo Lan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled calmly.
"Second sister, there's no need to be so decisive. This is your mother's home. How can you not come back? You can come back anytime you want. If you feel unhappy in Nanping Kingdom, you can always come back to visit your parents. Daning Kingdom will always be your home."
Leng Yu pondered for a while, then frowned and nodded.
"The Queen is right. This will always be your home. The Queen and I will not turn you away just because you made a mistake once. Just remember, if you are wronged outside, you can always come back. The Queen and I will support you. You will always have a place in this family."
His words moved Yongping and Yongning to tears. Yongping bit his lips tightly and shook his head vigorously.
"The more you say this, the more I feel sorry for you. However, it can be seen from this that the emperor father's handing over the throne to you was the wisest thing he ever did in his life. With you two protecting the Daning Kingdom, I believe that the emperor father and the ancestors of the Leng family can rest in peace in heaven."
Yongning raised the handkerchief in his hand, wiped the corners of his eyes, and nodded in agreement.
"Big sister is right. For all these years, I have hated my father. I hated his stupidity and his incompetence. But before he died, he chose to hand over the throne to you. This shows that he finally made the most correct choice before his death. The Great Ning Kingdom has hope."
Leng Yu knew that what these two imperial sisters said was not flattery, but came from the heart.
He looked back at Luo Lan and smiled with relief.
At this moment, Ah Hong's anxious voice came in.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened. Princess Xingnan has committed suicide."
Hearing this, Yongping fell to the ground. Yongning hurried over to help her. Leng Yu couldn't wait to ask,
"What happened? Was anyone rescued?"
Ah Hong swallowed hard and nodded heavily.
"Just now, the maid from Qixia Palace reported that Princess Xingnan attempted to hang herself. Fortunately, the maid guarding the door heard the noise and came in to rescue her. However, she is still very agitated and refuses to listen. She is still trying to commit suicide. Prince Daji sent the maid to inform Princess Yongping to return home."
When Yongping heard this, he started scrabbling around with his hands, trying to find something to hold on to.
Seeing this, Yongning comforted her and helped her up.
