The reason why she chose to go to the Duke's Mansion was because she knew that the Queen Mother was still living there.
In the entire Daning Kingdom, perhaps only the Queen Mother can listen to her distress!
This time, Luo Lan stayed in the Duke's Mansion for a month for the first time.
During this period, the emperor did not send anyone to look for her, nor did she go to see the emperor.
This was probably the longest time they had been apart since they got married.
Luo Lan was holding on to this thought in his heart, and Leng Yu didn't want to give in either.
During this period, Luo Lan asked someone and found out that Huaiyu had been staying in the Ministry of Punishment. The emperor had met him twice and had just a few brief conversations, but the emperor had never issued an edict to convict him.
Perhaps, the emperor doesn’t know how to issue this decree!
At this time, Luo Lan was drinking tea and chatting with his father and mother when the housekeeper came hurriedly to report,
"General, the emperor has sent someone to invite you to the palace."
Liu Dechang frowned, then waved to the housekeeper.
"Got it. I'll go right away."
Although Liu Dechang was idle at home, people would still come to report to him from time to time on major and minor matters in the court, or if the emperor had something he could not make up his mind about, he would still ask him to go to the palace to discuss it.
He stood up and looked at Luo Lan with a serious expression.
"Lan'er, if my guess is correct, the emperor is undecided about Huaiyu's matter and wants to consult with me. What do you think should be done about this matter?"
After all, he is a father. When something happens, the first thing he thinks of is his daughter.
Luo Lan pondered for a while, sighed and shook his head.
"Father, this is a major court matter, and it's not appropriate for a woman like me to get involved. Let the Emperor decide how to punish me!"
"Really? You're not going to plead for Huaiyu?"
"It's no use begging. If Leng Yu wanted to be accommodating, she wouldn't have gone a month without seeing me or calling me back."
Liu Dechang put his hands behind his back, nodded, and replied:
"You're right. I'll go to the palace first and then give the emperor some advice."
Leaving these words behind, he strode towards the gate.
At the same time, Princess Xingnan walked in with a grim expression under the guidance of the housekeeper.
When she met Liu Dechang face to face, she simply bowed to him and went straight into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Princess Ning is here."
When the housekeeper said this, Luo Lan had already seen Xingnan. She hurriedly stood up and went to greet him.
"Xingnan, why are you here?"
Xiaoling raised her hand and instructed the servant:
"Come here, change the pot of tea."
Xingnan looked at Luo Lan's concerned eyes and suddenly burst into tears.
Seeing this scene, Luo Lan asked anxiously,
"Xingnan, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Xiao Ningzi?"
Xingnan bit his lip tightly, nodded, and then shook his head.
"No, no one bullied me. I just wanted to cry."
"Why? Why do you want to cry?"
"My Queen, I miss home. I want to go back home and see my father and mother."
Hearing this, Luo Lan nodded distressedly.
"Of course you can. When you got married, the Emperor told you that you can go home to visit your parents anytime you want."
"Then I'll leave tomorrow."
"Not tomorrow. I need to ask Xiao Ningzi to hand over the work at hand. Maybe next month!"
"I'm not taking him back."
After hearing this, Luo Lan seemed to understand that Xingnan was pretending to be homesick and was actually angry with Xiao Ningzi.
She hurriedly took her hand and sat her down on the chair. She poured her a cup of tea and asked softly:
"Xingnan, tell me, what happened? Did you have a fight with Xiao Ningzi?"
“Mmmmm…”
When Xingnan mentioned this, he suddenly burst into tears. Xiaoling saw this and asked him, feeling a little overwhelmed.
"Kid, what happened? You have to tell us so we can find a way to help you."
Luo Lan also nodded.
"Yeah, what happened? You have to tell us."
Seeing that Luo Lan and Madam Liu were anxiously asking about this, Zhier couldn't help but say:
"The prince wants to take a concubine, and the princess is in a bad mood."
"Take a concubine?"
Hearing this, Luo Lan and Xiao Ling asked in disbelief,
"You said Xiao Ningzi wants to take a concubine?"
Xingnan turned around and glared at Zhier, then nodded aggrievedly.
"It's not his fault, it was my idea."
"Your idea?"
Luo Lan looked at her in astonishment.
"Why do you want to give him a concubine?"
Xingnan lowered his head, looking embarrassed to speak.
Seeing this, Luo Lan waved to the servant standing at the door.
"Everyone, step back!"
"yes."
After all the servants left, Luo Lan looked at Xingnan again.
"There are only three of us here, just say whatever you want to say!"
Xingnan looked up at Luo Lan, mustered up his courage, and finally spoke:
"It's the same thing I told you last time I went to the palace. You told me the method, and I tried it, but it didn't work. The day after I went to the palace to find you, Xiao Ningzi came back drunk in the middle of the night, and brought back a woman named Aqin. I wanted to kick this woman out, but she said she didn't want any wages, just food. I didn't want to take advantage of her, I just felt sorry for her. Plus, I suspected Xiao Ningzi had a relationship with this woman, so I thought about keeping her by my side so that it would be easier to keep an eye on her. But after observation, I found that they hadn't met privately in the past month..."
Having said that, Xingnan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water before continuing:
