"What?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Lan staggered back two steps. If Ah Hong had not come to help her quickly, she would have fallen to the ground.
She looked at her father with disbelief.
"Dad, is he really going to do this?"
Liu Dechang sighed and nodded.
"Well, today, several important officials in the court discussed this matter together. This is the final result, and it is also a result that can convince the public."
Luo Lan was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned around like crazy.
"No, I want to go find him and ask him clearly."
"Lan'er..."
Liu Dechang raised his voice to remind
"It would be useless for you to go. The imperial decree has already been issued."
"No matter what, I'm going to find out."
Thinking of this, she turned around and instructed Ah Hong and Ah Cai:
"Prepare the car and return to the palace immediately."
Ah Hong and Ah Cai did not dare to delay and hurried to prepare the carriage. The three of them headed straight for the palace.
Luo Lan hasn't returned to the palace for a month. Although Leng Yu missed her, he resisted the urge to look for her.
As the king of a country, he still has to set an example and show his position on some things.
At this time, he was sitting in the Yangxin Palace, waiting for Luo Lan to come to him.
According to his prediction, she should be here.
Sure enough, Qin Shun's voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, you are back? Please wait a moment, I will go and inform the Emperor."
"No need."
Luo Lan ignored Qin Shun's attempts to stop her and ignored the palace rules and etiquette. She just wanted to see Leng Yu as soon as possible and ask him why he was so cruel to Huaiyu?
The sound of her hurried footsteps came in. Leng Yu deliberately lowered his head and flipped through the book in his hand carelessly.
"Leng Yu, why did you do this? Huaiyu's mistake was unintentional and his crime doesn't deserve death. Why do you want him to die?"
Leng Yu put down the book in his hand and looked at her with a calm expression.
"The crime of deceiving the emperor is not punishable by death? What country's law is this?"
"Even if he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, it was unintentional. I've already said that no matter what, even for my sake, you must leave him a chance to live. You could lock him up for a few years, or perhaps exile him. Why do you have to use the heaviest punishment?"
"He has to pay for what he has done, no mercy."
Luo Lan looked at him with strange eyes, and suddenly laughed sarcastically.
"Leng Yu, you are so cruel. Huaiyu has been growing up beside us since he was born. I thought you would treat him differently from his biological father. I never thought you would take this opportunity to kill him. You really... really disappoint me."
A trace of heartache flashed across Leng Yu's eyes, and then he sighed.
"Now that things have come to this, there's no point in you saying more. I can give you a chance to meet him, that's all."
Luo Lan bit her lips tightly, looked at Leng Yu with hatred, turned around, strode away, and left.
Looking at her angry back, Leng Yu shook his head helplessly.
"Lan'er, I hope you can understand my good intentions."
…
The night is very quiet and cool.
Luo Lan, walking in the palace, felt that the weather was a bit stuffy. She kept tearing at her collar, crying as she walked, completely disregarding her image.
She couldn't understand why Leng Yu, the emperor, had to punish Huaiyu when he could have let her go? Did he not consider her feelings at all when he issued this decree?
It turned out that she was just being too sentimental. She thought that if she stayed away for a month and protested in this way, he would be lenient with Huaiyu.
It seems that she overestimated her position in his heart.
After returning to Fengyi Palace, she dismissed everyone and sat there alone in a daze.
She now had only one thought in mind, she had to rescue Huaiyu, no matter what the cost.
She needs to think about it carefully...
At this moment, Ah Hong came in to report,
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Qin is here."
She snorted coldly.
"Let's go back. I have a headache."
"He said he came to see you. It had nothing to do with the Emperor. He had to see you."
Nothing to do with the emperor?
She knew that Leng Yu's imperial decree had already been issued, and it was too late to say anything.
However, since Qin Shun deliberately mentioned that it had nothing to do with the emperor, there must be something going on.
She waved her hands weakly.
"Please ask him to come in."
After receiving the order, Ah Hong brought Qin Shun to her.
"My Lady, I came here today because I thought of something."
"Eunuch Qin, I'm feeling depressed right now. If there's nothing important, please go back!"
"My lady, no matter what, you must listen to what I have to say."
Luo Lan waved his hands impatiently.
"If you want to say it, just say it!"
Qin Shun then frowned and replied in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, the Emperor had no choice but to do this because of what Young Master Huaiyu did. Please don't blame her. This old servant came here today to tell you a story."
"Eunuch Qin, you don't have to worry about the affairs between me and the Emperor. I don't have the heart to listen to your stories right now. Please go back!"
Eunuch Qin spoke without hesitation.
"The previous emperor neglected state affairs because he was obsessed with the beauty of a woman. The previous empress dowager was furious and fabricated a crime for her. She imprisoned her in the Sky Prison and planned to execute her at a later date. Because of this, the previous emperor lost his appetite and became bedridden. Later, someone told him that since the empress dowager was going to execute this woman in the street, it would be better to let her die in prison. That way, she could at least die with dignity..."
Qin Shun's words made Luo Lan even more angry. She pointed at him directly.
