Hearing this name, Luo Lan's tears immediately overflowed.
"Huaiyu, mother knows you are angry with me. You blame me for not visiting you for so long. Now you won't even call me mother?"
Huaiyu shook her head vigorously.
"I'm not angry with you. The Emperor has already issued an order to remove me from the royal family. Now I'm a nameless person, so naturally I don't dare to call you mother anymore."
"Huaiyu, no matter what time it is, I am your mother. Come, I brought you some food, please eat something quickly."
"I'm not hungry..."
"Eat it even if you're not hungry. This is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Have a piece."
Huaiyu bit her lip, took the pastry she handed over, and took a light bite.
Luo Lan looked at Huaiyu's thin and pale face and sighed distressedly.
"Huaiyu, you must remember that no matter what time it is, I am your mother, no matter whether you are a royal or ordinary citizen."
Huaiyu ate the cake in her hand, tears rolling down her cheeks.
He didn't dare look up, for fear that Luo Lan would see him crying.
"mother……"
He couldn't help but shout out this word, Luo Lan stepped forward distressedly and hugged him in his arms.
"Huaiyu, I gave you your name, and I raised you. I'm not your mother, and you can't just abandon me if you want to..."
"Mom, I will never have the chance to repay your kindness in raising me. I'm sorry."
As he spoke, he broke free from her arms, took two steps back, and knelt on the ground.
"Mother, please accept Huaiyu's greeting."
After bowing his head, Luo Lan hurried forward to help him up.
"Huaiyu..."
She wanted to say a few words of comfort to him, but in the end she didn't say it.
She took a small porcelain bottle from her pocket and held it in front of him.
"Huaiyu, eat this later. Mother won't let you suffer."
Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, then took the small medicine bottle from her hand, seemed to understand something, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and nodded.
"Thank you, Queen, for your consideration..."
He changed the way he addressed him again, but Luo Lan didn't blame him.
He must have known that the bottle contained medicine that could end his life. No matter what, he could not accept that the person he had summoned for more than ten years would end his life in this way!
"Remember what I told you. I have to go first."
A trace of loneliness flashed across Huaiyu's eyes, and then he nodded.
"I remember that."
Ever since he received the emperor's edict, he has been disheartened.
At this moment, looking at the bottle of medicine in his hand, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Watching her figure disappear from his sight, he immediately consoled himself with a smile on his face.
"She did it for my own good. She wanted to leave me with an intact body."
Thinking of this, he sat down cross-legged, looked at the pastries that Luo Lan had just brought, and started eating.
Since I’m going to die anyway, I might as well die with a full stomach!
After walking out of the Tianlao of the Ministry of Punishment, Luo Lan waved to Ahong and Acai with a serious expression, and the two of them put their ears close to him.
After she explained, Ah Hong looked at her with surprise.
"My Lady, is this... possible?"
"There's no other way. No matter what, I can't watch Huaiyu die."
Ah Cai looked at her solemnly.
"If the Emperor knew about this, would he be furious?"
"I can't care about so many things now. Let's save Huaiyu's life first!"
Seeing this, Acai and Ahong nodded together.
"Don't worry, my lady, we will definitely get this done."
Luo Lan sighed softly, "Well, I'll go back to Fengyi Palace and wait for your news."
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Just after midnight, the prison cell in the Ministry of Punishment exploded.
The criminal Leng Tengda committed suicide out of fear of punishment. The emperor was furious and immediately ordered that each jailer in the prison be beaten with twenty sticks and Leng Tengda's body be thrown into the mass grave in the west of the city...
Upon hearing the news, Luo Lan's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
I don't know if there will be any problems with Ah Hong and Ah Cai...
Thinking of this, she became even more restless and paced back and forth in the room.
It turned out that it was after Qin Shun's enlightenment that she thought of using this deceptive method to save Huaiyu.
The bottle of medicine she gave Huaiyu could cause a person to temporarily lose their breathing and heartbeat, giving the illusion of death.
She had already made arrangements. When the people in the Heavenly Prison discovered that Huaiyu had committed suicide by taking poison, they would throw him into a mass grave. Then, Ahong and Acai would go and rescue him, and then use the carriage prepared in advance to send him to a very far place.
When Huaiyu wakes up tomorrow morning, he will be in a strange place, and there will be a letter she left for him on his body.
In the letter, she told him never to return to the capital and never to mention his life experience to outsiders. If there was a chance, they would meet again.
Of course, the chance of this happening is slim, but for Huaiyu to be alive, she would be willing to never see her again in her lifetime.
An hour later, Ah Cai and Ah Hong came back in a hurry to report. When Luo Lan saw them, he couldn't wait to ask them.
"How about it?"
Ah Hong nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, my lady, it's done."
"Did you leave the letter?"
"I'll stay here. The groom is reliable. We'll tell him to come back and report in time. Don't worry!"
"That's good. I've been feeling uneasy, always worried that something unexpected might happen."
Ah Cai shook her head in surprise.
"I find it strange, too. It went so smoothly. We originally thought we could snatch Huaiyu back while they were burying her, but those guards just dumped her in the mass grave and left. We got her away from there with almost no effort."
Luo Lan waved his hands tiredly.
"As long as everything goes well, I'm tired. You've been busy for so long, so go down and get some rest!"
Ah Hong and Ah Cai bowed together hurriedly.
"Yes, my lady."
After saying this, the two of them quickly left Fengyi Palace.
She also lay on the bed with her clothes on, feeling an indescribable emptiness in her heart.
Her heart could not calm down. Although she did not hate Leng Yu, she did blame him.
As the king of a country, he did the right thing.
But as a father, it was really cruel of him to do this.
She secretly made up her mind that this time, she would not forgive him easily.
When she thought of this, she really felt tired, and before she knew it, she fell into a deep sleep.
It was not until noon that she slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, she found Leng Yu sitting beside the bed and looking at her.
She frowned and sat up, "Long live the emperor."
She protested against him in this strange way.
How could Leng Yu not know what she was thinking? He sighed softly.
"I know you are angry, but I still hope you can understand me."
"You are the emperor, your words are golden, how dare I not understand you?"
"Are you speaking in anger?"
"I dare not. I want to stay at Prince Yu's mansion for a few days."
"There's only Agang and a few servants left there. What are you going back for?"
"I want to go back and recapture the feeling I had back then. I'm tired, really tired, of being in this huge palace."
