They set out again on the road to the capital. Luo Lan originally planned to inquire about Ling Feng and others' itinerary along the way, but Leng Yu rejected it.
There are many roads from here to the capital. If they find one, they will check it out. If not, they will appreciate the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daning Kingdom along the way, and then go straight to the capital.
Regarding the matter of Dongyang State, he would order someone to investigate after returning to the capital to find out what the people of Dongyang State wanted to do by coming to Daning State.
The carriage was driving on the road, Luo Lan and Leng Yu were sitting in the carriage, and her expression was rather indifferent.
Leng Yu knew that she was in a bad mood, and he was thinking about how to comfort her.
"Lan'er, I haven't seen An'an, Lele and Yicheng for so long. Do you miss them?"
Mentioning these children, Luo Lan suddenly thought of Huaiyu. She nodded.
"I do, but I'm not worried about them. I'm only worried about Huaiyu now. I don't know how the child is doing."
"I originally promised to take you to find him when we leave the palace this time, but we don't have much time now. If he wants to hide, how can we find him? Also, didn't you say that Ling would go to Prince Yu's Mansion to deliver a letter for you? We should go back early and wait and see! Besides, I want to go back and reorganize the government and eliminate these parasites in the court. I also need to order people to prepare for next month's palace examination. By the way, didn't you say that you wanted Yicheng and Lele to take part in the palace examination as well? I thought about letting them take part as an exception, but not counting their rankings. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the other candidates. What do you think of this?"
Leng Yu thought of a bunch of reasons to return to the palace as soon as possible, so Luo Lan naturally couldn't mention Huaiyu anymore.
She looked at him and nodded.
"Okay, Lele and Yicheng will be very happy to hear this news. You are right. With our current status, we don't have much time to waste outside the palace. We can talk about Huaiyu later. If he is doing well and doesn't come to see me in this life, I won't blame him."
"Lan'er, I hope you can let it go, but I believe he can protect himself."
Luo Lan breathed a sigh of relief and buried her head in his shoulder, feeling indescribably sad.
How could the child she had raised suddenly vanish without a trace? He was even unwilling to write a letter home.
…
One month later
Today is the tenth day of June. After a bumpy journey, they finally returned to the capital in early June.
It only took half a month to go there, but a month to come back. This was because every time Leng Yu arrived at a place, he would go to the streets to see how the people were living. He wanted to understand the current living conditions of the people in Daning Kingdom from another perspective.
The result was mixed, but due to limited time, he simply ordered A Yu to record these problems and solve them together after returning to the court.
After Liu Dechang and Leng Ming learned the news, they brought a group of palace guards and court ministers to wait at the palace gate early.
There are also Luo Xue and An An, Le Le, Yi Cheng, Duo Duo and Xiao Ling.
Everyone is looking forward to their return and is happy for their return.
Although this trip took less than two months, it felt like a long time to those who were thinking about them all the time.
After Leng Yu got off the carriage, he reached out to help Luo Lan. Luo Xue, An An, Le Le, and Yi Cheng went over to greet them.
"Sister, you are finally back."
"Mom, we all miss you."
Xiaoling also came forward to say hello,
"Lan'er, you're back. Come on, let me see if you've lost weight."
Seeing this scene, Leng Yu cleared his throat awkwardly.
Liu Dechang and Leng Ming hurriedly led a group of ministers to salute him.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Empress."
Leng Yu immediately waved his hand.
"Everyone, get up! Qin Shun..."
Qin Shun hurriedly trotted over to him.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"
"Announce that all officials must appear in the main hall for the morning court tomorrow morning. I have something important to announce."
Qin Shun nodded in agreement.
"I understand. I will send someone to inform everyone right away."
He looked at Liu Dechang and Leng Ming again.
"Lord Liu and Prince Ming stay, the rest of you go back!"
Everyone bowed in unison.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After everyone left, Leng Yu strode into the palace, and Luo Lan also entered the palace surrounded by Luo Xue and others.
As soon as she returned to Fengyi Palace, Luo Xue couldn't wait to talk to her.
"Sister, Leng Ming has been very obedient during the past few months when you were away. He and Dad have discussed all the major and minor matters in the court and handled them very well. Also..."
"alright."
After Luo Lan pulled Xiaoling and Duoduo to sit on the soft couch, she couldn't help but interrupt her.
"I know your Leng Ming is a good person, but you don't have to praise him as soon as I come back!"
Luo Xue clicked her tongue a little embarrassedly.
"I...I'm just reporting the situation to you!"
"Whether he did a good job or not, the emperor will naturally know. Now sit down and tell me if anything special happened in the capital during the time I was away!"
When she mentioned this, Xiaoling immediately replied with some regret,
"Nothing serious happened in the capital, but something happened in Prince Xi's Mansion."
Hearing this, Luo Lan frowned anxiously. After all, Leng Xi and Yu Qiaoqiao were not here, and nothing could happen in Prince Xi's Mansion now.
"What happened at Prince Xi's Mansion? Xiaobao?"
"Don't worry, it's not Xiaobao who's in trouble, it's that Xiaocui. I heard that she's been taking advantage of her pregnancy to cause trouble for the maids in the mansion. Concubine Li turned a blind eye to it at first, but later, the maids in Prince Xi's mansion all stood up to protest and asked to resign and go home. Concubine Li was furious and punished Xiaocui by making her kneel in the courtyard of Prince Xi's mansion for three days."
