As soon as she said this, Luo Lan's brows tightened immediately, and then he instructed Ah Hong:
"Go out and watch over it. Don't let anyone in."
"yes."
Ah Hong took the order and retreated, and Ah Cai quickly followed.
Luo Lan then looked at Luo Xue.
"You mean, that Mr. Ling is here?"
Luo Xue nodded.
"Yes, as you instructed. When he came to deliver the letter, I asked Ah Gang to keep him. Then I went to see him and told him that an old friend wanted to meet him. Although he was very surprised, he still agreed."
Luo Lan suddenly became a little excited. According to her expectations, this Young Master Ling had arrived two months earlier.
"Okay, have you agreed on a location?"
"We've made an appointment at Shunyi Teahouse. See you at 5 p.m. three days from now."
"Great! The Emperor has been investigating the Dongyang Kingdom for quite some time, but he's been running out of leads and hasn't found anything yet. Now that he's here, let's start with him!"
"Sister, you should talk to the emperor about this matter. Don't act rashly."
Luo Lan raised his hand to interrupt him.
"If I tell him, he definitely won't let me meet Master Ling alone. He might even send someone to capture him. Don't act rashly before you figure out why he came to Daning State. And don't tell anyone else about this."
"But...but I don't think this is appropriate."
"There's nothing wrong with that. If you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, then no one will know. When I find out their purpose in this life, it won't be too late to tell the emperor."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Luo Xue had no choice but to nod.
"Then it's up to you! How about this, you can leave the palace under the pretext of staying at Prince Yu's mansion for a few days. That would be a natural progression."
Luo Lan pondered for a moment, then squinted his eyes and looked at her.
"You're so smart. Okay, come back tonight and tell my emperor that you'll be going to Prince Yu's mansion tomorrow morning to stay with An An for a few days. I haven't spent enough time with her since I came back this time. She must miss me."
"Very good."
Luo Xue immediately clapped her hands and cheered.
"If you have the chance, go stay at the Duke's Mansion for another night. Mom and Dad miss you."
"You, Princess Ming, have already arranged the itinerary for me, the Queen, right? Does this count as a crime of subjugation?"
Seeing that she was blaming herself, Luo Xue came to her side, took her hand, and looked at her coquettishly.
"Sister, please don't scare me. Besides, you should go and keep Mom company. She hasn't been feeling well lately and is always coughing. You should get her some medicine while you're at it."
"Cough? Is it serious? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"She didn't let me tell you. She had a slight cough when you came back, but she kept it to herself because she was afraid you'd worry."
"You, I'll get you some medicine now. Please give it to her on your way out of the palace. I'll go see her again tomorrow."
At this point, Luo Lan felt a little anxious. His father and mother were old, and he couldn't bear to endure some minor illnesses.
After she took out the cough suppressant and anti-inflammatory medicine from the operating room, she urged Luo Xue to take the medicine back quickly.
Luo Xue had no choice but to wave goodbye to her reluctantly and told her that she would go to the Duke's Mansion to wait for her tomorrow.
…
The next morning, Luo Lan left the palace early. She had already agreed with Leng Yu last night that she would stay out of the palace for a few days. Leng Yu had been very busy these days and did not have much time to accompany her, so he was naturally willing to let her leave the palace to relax.
When she arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Luo Xue and Xiao Ling were already waiting for her at the gate. When they saw her carriage approaching, they hurried over to greet it.
She quickly jumped off the carriage, looked at Xiaoling, and asked with concern:
"Mom, how are you? Xue said you were coughing. Is it serious?"
Xiaoling glared at Luo Xue and quickly comforted her:
"It's nothing, maybe I caught a cold. Luo Xue talks so fast, I made you worry too."
"Mom, I'm your daughter, it's normal for me to worry about you!"
"Mom knows you're worried about me, but I'm really fine. I just caught a cold. I took your medicine yesterday and I'm much better today. Look, my voice is no longer hoarse."
As she spoke, she took Luo Lan's hand.
"Let's go, let's talk inside."
"Okay, come in and I'll take your pulse. You can't neglect your illness..."
Luo Xue stuck out her nose.
"My kindness is so badly taken for granted. If I hadn't told you you had a cough, would my sister have gotten you medicine? Would you have gotten better so quickly?"
However, her voice was so soft that Xiaoling and Luo Lan couldn't hear it at all. She could only stick out her tongue and quickly follow.
Arriving at Xiaoling's bedroom, Luo Lan carefully took her pulse and finally confirmed that she just had a cold and just needed to take some cold medicine.
Luo Lan finally felt relieved, and Xiaoling clapped her hands and urged:
"I should have let you stay for one night, but I think you should go back to Prince Yu's Mansion to see An An!"
An An?
Luo Lan looked at her in surprise.
"Mom, what happened to An An?"
Xiaoling shook her head in confusion.
"I don't know either. I can't explain it. When I went there yesterday, I saw her hiding in bed in a daze. I called her several times before she responded. It seemed that she hadn't eaten yesterday. I was worried about her and wanted to bring her to the Duke's Mansion to stay for a few days, but she refused. She said she couldn't sleep in a different place. She also said she was fine, but I always feel that there is something wrong with this child. You should go back and see her."
Luo Lan was very worried by his mother's words. An An had always been cheerful and optimistic, but suddenly he became unhappy. What was going on?
She immediately said goodbye to Xiaoling and went straight to Prince Yu's Mansion.
Ever since they moved into the palace, Prince Yu's Mansion has been very quiet. Apart from the occasional sound of servants cleaning the yard, there is nothing else.
