Leng Yu sighed deeply, raised his eyes, looked out the dark window, and murmured:
"Lan'er, do you know? During these three years I've been lying in bed, what I've thought about most is how sorry I am for those four people. They must be living a life worse than death there. All of this is because of me, but I have no ability to save them. I am such a coward and a failure as a master. I let them suffer with me. I am a useless waste."
After saying this, he said again hatefully:
"If I had even a little bit of ability, I would definitely break into Ningguta and rescue them from that hellish place, but..."
When he said this, his eyes became red and his handsome face turned pale.
Seeing that he was a little excited, Luo Lan knew that he must be thinking about his other three brothers.
She placed her hand on his, looked up at her, and whispered comfortingly:
"Don't think like that, and don't be anxious. They've endured it all for three years. I believe they'll definitely be waiting for you to rescue them. One day, you'll clear yourself of the injustice, and then they can leave there openly. Otherwise, it won't be easy to get the three of them out of Ningguta on your own."
Leng Yu sighed heavily, held her hand back, looked into her eyes, and said righteously:
"Lan'er, I must stand up as soon as possible. No matter what, I can't let my other three brothers suffer there. You're right, I can't let them follow me and live a life of hiding, shameful and unable to face people. So, I must prove my innocence."
Hearing him say this, Luo Lan looked at him and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I will help you."
Having said that, Luo Lan half-closed his eyes and thought to himself: You dog prince Leng Yun, you harmed Leng Yu and his four loyal servants. I will make you pay double for this in the future.
…
The assassins who tried to assassinate Leng Yu and Luo Lan failed, which made Concubine Chang furious.
In Dening Palace, Concubine Chang's face was pale, her hands were shaking, and she was shouting,
"You're useless! You're so incompetent! You can't even do this little thing. You can't even assassinate a woman and a half-dead man. How can you be called an assassin? You're worse than a eunuch."
Nanny Yu stood beside her, kneading her hands together. After listening to her lecture nervously, she whispered:
"My Lady, it's my fault. I'll go find someone more powerful tomorrow."
"No need."
Concubine Chang waved her hands sternly, "After this, they will definitely be on their guard. Going again will be futile. If we get caught, it will only cause more trouble."
At this point, she suddenly raised her brows and looked at Yu Ma, "You didn't tell the assassin about your identity, did you?"
"No."
Nanny Yu quickly shook her head. "He doesn't know who I am. These assassins also have rules. They won't ask who hired them. They just take the money and do the job."
Concubine Chang frowned and nodded, "That's best. Let's put this on hold for a few days and wait until they've relaxed their vigilance before we proceed."
"My Lady, do you think Shui Luolan can really cure Leng Yu?"
Concubine Chang pulled the corner of her mouth, revealing a disdainful smile on her face. "No, unless she is a deity, if the nail in his leg is not removed, he will never be able to stand up. If it is removed, the only option is to saw off his leg, and then both of his legs will be crippled. So, even if he can survive, he will only be paralyzed."
At this point, a sinister look flashed in her eyes, she smiled lightly, and then said coldly:
"If Madam Xiaoyu were still alive, she would definitely be very sad to see her son become like this! Hahahaha..."
Her hideous smile looked particularly creepy in the silent night. Her sinister laughter echoed in the Dening Palace. Nanny Yu also followed her, revealing an evil and complacent smile.
…
Three days later, Dazhi finally passed the critical period, and Dazhi's parents also rushed over.
Sitting in the main hall of the palace, they were relatively calm. Madam Zhang had just cried, and her eyes were red and swollen.
Luo Lan glanced at the two of them and sighed helplessly.
"I was wrong about Dazhi. I shouldn't have let him go out."
Mr. Zhang clasped his fists and said:
"Your Highness, your words are too serious. Dazhi has been out for so long. I wonder who she must have offended. Last time, she benefited from your treatment. This time, you saved her again. How can I blame you for this?"
Mrs. Zhang also nodded hoarsely.
"Yes! I don't know who wants to hurt Tong'er. I don't know what he has been through in the past month. Why would someone want to kill him? And I don't know when he will wake up. We thought, why don't we take him back! So as not to trouble Princess Yu here."
Hearing this, Luo Lan suddenly felt that although Mrs. Zhang was being very polite, her words implied that she was still worried about leaving Dazhi here.
But Dazhi's current condition is not suitable for long-distance travel, and although he has passed the critical period, she doesn't know when he will wake up, so she can't let him go.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and said to Madam Zhang:
"I know Madam is worried about Dazhi, but he can't leave here right now. Not only is his health unfit for long journeys, but the people who harmed him are so cruel and want to kill him directly. How can they let him go? If the bad guys come to rob him along the way, are you sure you can handle it?"
Hearing her ask this, Mrs. Zhang bit her lips in embarrassment, and Mr. Zhang sighed directly.
"To be honest, Princess, although my Zhang family has considerable assets in Ducheng and dozens of servants in the mansion, none of them know martial arts. They are just rough servants. If we really encounter a bad guy who knows martial arts on the road, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with him!"
After saying this, he looked at his wife, "Madam! I know you feel bad for Dazhi. How about this, you stay here. I think Princess Yu's mansion won't need you."
After saying this, he said to Luo Lan:
"Princess Yu, we brought one thousand taels of silver with us this time as a thank you for taking care of Dazhi."
After saying this, he shouted to the people outside, "Bring it in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two people came in with two trays and stood in front of Luo Lan.
Looking at the glittering silver, Luo Lan frowned and waved her hand, "Mr. Zhang, you are too polite. Dazhi and I are also destined to be together. If you insist on giving me some silver, it would seem alien. I cannot accept this silver."
Mrs. Zhang was wiping her tears and sobbing.
"We only have one son, Tong'er, and the Zhang family's fortune will belong to him in the future. If you don't accept this little bit of money, we can't bother you here. We really have to take Dazhi away."
