The prince's eyebrows moved slightly, and he raised his eyebrows proudly and said:
"Please forgive me for not being able to tell you this, but Princess Yu seems to be very concerned about the Ningguta affairs?"
Luo Lan's eyebrows turned colder, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he shook his head slowly.
"The prince mentioned Ningguta, isn't it just to make me curious? Since the prince doesn't want to talk about it, then I am not curious anymore."
Having said this, she raised her finger slightly, picked up the teacup at hand, and lightly wiped the foam on the tea with the cup lid. From time to time, she glanced at the two people sitting on her left and right.
There are two most difficult problems now. First, she must ensure Leng Yu's safety; second, she must prove that she is Shui Luolan.
However, judging from the current situation, the two people in front of her seemed unaware that Concubine Chang had doubts about her identity. In other words, the person who suspected her identity must not be this Crown Prince Leng Yun.
Thinking of this, she sighed softly, put down the teacup, and said helplessly:
"How can I care about other things right now? In three days, I will go to the Ministry of Punishment for trial. I don't know whether I will live or die. If anyone of you is free then, please come and see Leng Yu!"
As she spoke, she lifted the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes sadly. Her sad expression was very moving.
Leng Xi asked anxiously,
"What's going on? What crime have you committed, sister-in-law? Why are you going to the Ministry of Punishment?"
Leng Yun also frowned and asked:
"Where did Princess Yu get this from?"
Luo Lan wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, then sighed and said sadly:
"Alas! Imperial Concubine Chang came to tell me about this just now. She said someone fabricated my identity in front of the Emperor, saying that I am not the real Shui Luolan. If I don't confess within three days, I will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment."
At this point, she raised her handkerchief and covered her face with tears again...
Leng Xi frowned, clenched his fists and said angrily:
"Who is gossiping in front of the Emperor? I'm going back to the palace to check..."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said to Leng Yun:
"Brother, I'll go first."
Although Leng Yun felt that he was a little impatient, he still waved his hand to signal him to leave, because he really had something to say to Luo Lan alone.
Seeing Leng Xi leave, Leng Yun's eyes suddenly became clearer. He looked at her with pitiful eyes, frowned and said:
"This matter, this prince will definitely investigate it for you and clear your name. Don't worry."
"Really?"
Luo Lan changed her usual harsh tone towards him and her voice became extremely gentle.
"Is the prince really willing to help me?"
As soon as she said this, Leng Yun felt that his heart was about to melt. The woman in front of him was the woman he longed for but dared not offend. She suddenly changed her previous indifference to him and became like a little white rabbit. He felt like he was dreaming.
He swallowed his saliva, and nodded continuously as his Adam's apple moved.
"Of course, of course, as long as you say the word, I, Leng Yun, will do anything."
Luo Lan leaned forward, bit her lip, and said to him slowly:
"I'm so touched that the Crown Prince said that. To be honest, I've figured out a lot of things these days. Prince Yu is paralyzed in bed, and I've tried everything, but I can't warm his heart. I really feel... I feel like I'll have to live like this for the rest of my life, uh uh..."
Hearing her say this, Leng Yun suddenly stretched out his hand to her in a bewildered manner, "Don't be like this, don't worry, I will protect you. Otherwise, since Fourth Brother is also a paraplegic, it would be a waste for a beautiful woman like you, Lan'er, to waste your youth on him. Why don't you just follow me..."
At this point, he stopped what he was about to say and secretly looked up at Luo Lan. He was afraid that Luo Lan would suddenly get angry at him and kick him out.
But what surprised him was that Luo Lan was not angry with him. On the contrary, when she looked at him, there was tenderness in her eyes. More importantly, the moment he looked up, he found that she was looking at him with a pair of affectionate eyes.
Leng Yun felt flattered. He was so uncomfortable that he wanted to just walk forward and push the woman to the ground...
Luo Lan naturally saw through his thoughts. She hooked her finger at him. Leng Yun hurriedly got up from the chair, walked up to her in small steps, and asked boldly in a low voice:
"Lan'er..."
Luo Lan put his finger in front of his mouth and made a "hush" sound, then glanced towards the door and said cautiously:
"Don't be anxious, Prince. This is Prince Yu's residence after all. There are so many people and so many things going on. It would be inconvenient. How about this? I'm going to the palace tomorrow. The palace is so big. You find a suitable empty room, and the two of us..."
At this point, she winked at him, stuck out her tongue, raised her eyebrows and whispered:
"Do you understand what I mean, Prince?"
Leng Yun suddenly felt that he was dreaming. This woman who had always been aloof actually took the initiative to show her affection to him?
He pinched his face hard, and when he felt the pain, he nodded hurriedly.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Luo Lan pursed her nose and said coquettishly:
"That's natural. I'm a woman too, but I've never experienced what it's like to be a woman..."
"Why don't you come to the Prince's Mansion?"
"No, my identity is here. Besides, Wu Linlin hates me to the core. If she finds out, she'll definitely report it to the Emperor. Then, both of us will be held accountable. So, the most dangerous place is the safest, don't you think?"
Leng Yun nodded in understanding, "You are right. There are many empty rooms in the palace, and everyone in the palace has their own job. No one will find out."
Having said that, he placed one hand on his chin, thinking carefully.
After a while, he suddenly had an idea and said:
"How about this? Tomorrow at dawn, I'll wait for you in the Qingyu Garden in the harem. Since Empress Yu died, no one has lived there for a long time. And someone has been taking care of it for ten days or half a month. It's clean and fresh. The two of us... are perfect..."
At this point, he couldn't wait to rub his hands together, as if thinking of the wonderful things he had done in bed with Luo Lan.
Luo Lan pursed her lips and nodded shyly.
"Okay, then it's settled..."
"Okay, okay, it's a deal..."
At this point, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Luo Lan with a serious expression, frowned and asked,
"You're not going to play a trick on me, are you?"
He really couldn't believe it. Why did Shui Luolan, who had always been annoyed with him, suddenly change her personality?
Luo Lan raised her nose to him and said softly with her pretty eyebrows:
"What are you talking about, Prince? The reason I want to meet with you is, firstly, I want you to plead with the Emperor on my behalf, so that I can avoid being punished by the Ministry of Punishment; secondly, I really feel wronged. I've been married into the palace for half a year, and I'm not even a formal woman yet. What's the difference between this and being a widow? If I feel..."
