These words once again made Leng Yu's face turn from blue to white.
He looked at her puzzledly.
"Lan'er, what do you want to tell me? Why did you let that Dongyang country man come to Prince Yu's mansion?"
Seeing that he was a little angry, Luo Lan immediately raised his hand and pressed it down.
"Don't be impatient, my husband. Just listen to me and I will tell you slowly."
How could he not be anxious? The people of Dongyang State bought a large amount of gold in Yilan County and now came to the capital along the way. He sent people to investigate several times, but could not find the whereabouts of the Dongyang people. Naturally, he could not figure out the purpose of their trip. He was already impatient.
But since Lan'er mentioned this at this time, she must have known something.
He tried his best to suppress his anxiety and waited patiently for Luo Lan to continue.
Seeing that his emotions had calmed down a little, she continued:
"I met Ling Feng alone at 5 p.m. yesterday. He told me some very suspicious things. I felt that this was not a simple matter, so I knocked him unconscious and brought him back to Prince Yu's Mansion. Now he is locked up in the side room in the backyard..."
"What did he say?"
"He said that the capital of Daning Kingdom could no longer be defended."
"fart!"
Leng Yu rarely curses, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but curse out loud.
He had just succeeded to the throne for less than a year and someone had already said such outrageous words. How could he not be angry?
Luo Lan hurriedly whispered to comfort him:
"Don't worry, my husband. He is in our hands now, but I feel that he will not easily tell the truth. I do have an idea."
Leng Yu squinted his eyes suspiciously at her.
"Tell me about it..."
"You ordered someone to arrest me..."
"Nonsense, you're the Queen, who dares to arrest you? I don't want his life."
"Don't be impatient, my husband. Listen to me. What I mean is that you arrested me on some pretext and locked me up with the other two, and then let someone else deliberately let us go..."
"no."
Leng Yu interrupted her immediately.
"Since they are in our hands, we can just interrogate them directly. Why should we let you take this risk?"
She knew that Leng Yu was worried about her and afraid that something might happen to her, but she always felt that Ling Feng must have some misunderstandings about Daning Kingdom and Prince Yu's Mansion. He even mentioned the imperial power yesterday, which meant that his status in Dongyang Kingdom was not ordinary.
If he refused to speak during a direct interrogation, and Leng Yu impulsively punished him, it would lead to a war between the two countries...
Thinking of this, she stopped him again:
"My husband, I've always felt that Ling Feng seems to have some unspeakable secrets, and he might be a member of the Dongyang royal family. We can't use force on him. If he refuses to comply, this matter will come to a standstill. As the saying goes, you can't get the tiger cub without entering the tiger's den. If we can find out this matter with the simplest method, why bother with a big fight? Besides, I have my operating room, a place I can hide in at any time. Nothing will go wrong."
Leng Yu frowned and looked at her.
"You really want to do this?"
Luo Lan nodded with a firm look in his eyes.
"Believe me, I will use his trust in me to get to the bottom of the Dongyang Kingdom."
Although he was reluctant, Leng Yu, who always thought her words made sense, nodded when he saw that she had made up her mind.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say. I'll send someone to protect you. If there's an emergency, you have to protect yourself too."
"Don't worry, my husband. Just like when we were in Yilan County, I have enough ways to protect myself."
Leng Yu came to her, pulled her up from the chair, held her in his arms, and whispered:
"These are things that should be done by me, but you have to be exposed to the public. I feel sorry for you, my husband."
"Husband, don't think like that. I only proposed this on the premise that I can guarantee my own safe withdrawal, so I will definitely take good care of myself, you can rest assured!"
Leng Yu nodded and held her tightly in his arms, feeling unspeakable worry in his heart.
When she was taking care of him, he kept telling her that when he could stand up again, he would protect her with his life.
But over the years, it seemed that she had always been protecting him. He admitted in his heart countless times that as a grown man, he could not do without his Lan'er, no matter big or small.
…
When the door of the room where Ling Feng was was opened, Leng Feng hurriedly stuffed the handkerchief back into his mouth and put his hands, which had been untied, behind his back.
He had a chance to leave, but he wanted to know where he was, and why he was here?
He only remembered that he was talking to the girl from Lanmeng, and then he remembered nothing. When he woke up in the morning, he was tied up in a place that was completely unfamiliar to him.
He looked towards the door and saw Luo Lan, with her face covered with a white veil, being pushed in with her hands tied up. Then, the door was closed.
"Master Ling, you are here too?"
She pretended to be very surprised. Ling Feng pulled the handkerchief out of his mouth and threw it away. He stood up from the chair and came directly to her.
"Miss Lan Meng, why are you here too?"
Looking at the two ropes thrown on the chair, Luo Lan couldn't help but gasp.
Just how skilled is Ling Feng? He can actually untie two ropes so easily.
But she immediately realized that this was not the time for her to think about these things.
Thinking of this, she looked at him with a wry smile on her face.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Master Ling. I don't know what happened. I was clearly chatting with you yesterday, but then I didn't remember anything. When I woke up this morning, I was tied up..."
Ling Feng frowned slightly and looked at her with apologetic eyes.
"Miss Lan Meng, I may have caused you trouble. I'm sorry."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and untied the rope that tied her. Seeing this, the servant also struggled to break free, making a sound.
Ling Feng stepped forward and pulled the handkerchief off his mouth. He couldn't wait to say:
"Sir, untie it for me."
Ling Feng turned around and glared at him.
"Just tie yourself up there. When someone comes, you won't be able to disguise yourself."
"My nose is itchy and I can't even scratch it. How about you help me scratch it?"
Seeing that the servant had been pouting and waiting for him to tickle him, he walked forward impatiently, untied the rope on him in a few seconds, and then ordered him:
"Go to the door and keep watch. If anyone comes, notify us immediately."
"Yes, sir."
The servant hurriedly lay down at the door and looked outside through the crack.
Ling Feng then turned around and looked at Luo Lan who was adjusting the veil on her face.
"Miss Lan Meng, do you know where we are?"
"I know. This is Prince Yu's Mansion. My cousin has seen me being captured and brought in. She will find a way to let me out."
Prince Yu’s Mansion?
Ling Feng muttered to himself for a few words, then frowned in confusion.
"Why are we imprisoned in Prince Yu's Mansion? Has my identity been exposed?"
