When he said this, he held her hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would be lost.
After being stunned for a while, Liu Dechang was the first to nod in agreement.
"Yu'er, for Lan'er, you even gave up the throne. As a father, I admire you. But I wonder if your Prince Yu's Mansion is big enough to accommodate the two of us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Lan opened his eyes wide and looked at him in astonishment.
"Dad, what do you mean? You and Mom want to stay too?"
Mrs. Liu rubbed her hands excitedly and looked at Liu Dechang.
"Dechang, do you really think so? Are you willing to give up everything and bring me here to live?"
Liu Dechang looked back at her and nodded gently.
"You've suffered a lot in the first half of your life. We're already in our twilight years, and it's time to enjoy life. Let Luo Xue and Leng Ming take care of our Duke's Mansion!"
Seeing him say this, Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan, and nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.
"If my father-in-law is willing to stay, that would be great. It would also save me from having no one to play chess with when I'm bored."
"Hahaha, good, good, then we'll stay here, amidst the green mountains and clear waters, and live the lives of ordinary people, with less disputes and more peace. Very good, very good..."
Leng Yu waved to everyone directly,
"In that case, everyone can go find a room of their choice! An'an, Yicheng, even though you won't be staying here long-term, we'll leave a room for you when you come back to visit your family."
When the four children heard this, they all smiled brightly. The entire Prince Yu's Mansion was suddenly filled with laughter and joy...
…
In the evening, Leng Yu called everyone over. He looked at them and said solemnly:
"From today on, I am no longer the Emperor, Lan'er is no longer the Empress, and Lele is no longer the Crown Prince. I want to spend the rest of my life with them, living a peaceful life here. You all should go back! I have informed Leng Xi and have told him not to mistreat you."
Ayu and Ahou were stunned. Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan looked at each other and looked at him puzzledly.
"Your Majesty, you...you're living so far away, how can we be at ease? If you really don't want to be the emperor anymore, you can return to the Prince Yu's Mansion in the capital. That way it will be more convenient for us to take care of you!"
Leng Yu waved his hand with a smile on his face.
"You all have families, so there's no need to think about taking care of me all the time. Look, this place is so nice, with mountains and rivers, maids and servants, parents, and children. We have a big family and it's very lively. Lan'er and I are old, and we want to live a quiet life for a few years. You can all go back and live your own lives! If there's a chance... I hope we brothers can meet again."
This sentence made the several grown men present lower their heads in sadness, and Qin Shun replied directly:
"Your Majesty, I will not leave. I will stay here and serve you."
Leng Yu immediately smiled and nodded.
"Qin Shun, if you want to stay, don't call me the emperor anymore. Call me Prince. And you're no longer Eunuch Qin anymore. Call me...Butler Qin!"
Qin Shun immediately knelt on his knees in gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty... Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
"Get up. You won't have to perform such formalities here anymore. And you all should go back and rest early. It's a long way from here to the capital, so you can set off early tomorrow morning."
Everyone stood in front of him, looking at him with reluctant eyes, feeling indescribable emotions in their hearts.
At this moment, Leng Yu also felt uncomfortable.
These brothers have followed him for many years, but now they have to part with each other, and he feels reluctant to let them go.
But there was no other way. If he and Lan'er wanted to pursue the life they wanted, they had to separate from these brothers.
Seeing everyone standing there without moving, Leng Yu stood up and patted them on the shoulders one by one.
"We are brothers in life and death. Whether I am Prince Yu or the Emperor, from now on, we will both be well."
Xiao Lingzi was the first to sob, followed by Ayu, Ahou, and Xiao Tanzi who also started wiping their tears.
This scene made Leng Yu turn away reluctantly. Luo Lan sighed softly, stood up, and whispered to comfort him:
"All good things must come to an end. You brothers have worked together for many years and now have established families and careers. This is why my husband can leave the capital with peace of mind. From now on... do your job well and assist the new emperor well. If you have the opportunity... don't forget to come and see us."
Ayu raised her sleeve to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, looking at Luo Lan reluctantly.
"If Ah Hong knew you were leaving and not coming back, she would definitely regret not coming to see you off."
Speaking of Ahong, Luo Lan was also reluctant to let her go. Over the years, she had completely given up her cold and arrogant personality and gave birth to a pair of children for Ayu. Just before she left for here, she was still in confinement after giving birth.
She was very happy for her.
She looked at Ayu with a smile in her eyes.
"Ah Hong will definitely be happy for me if she knows that I'm living the life I want. Now that Ah Cai and I are so far away from her, you're not allowed to bully her in the future!"
Ah Yu clasped his hands together and replied solemnly:
"Don't worry, she's the only one who can bully me. How could I dare to bully her? Besides, you're so far away from the capital now. If I provoke her, she'll come to you with her child. I'll be so anxious!"
"Hahaha……"
Ayu's words made everyone present laugh out loud.
Luo Lan instructed again:
"By the way, I'll write a letter to Xingnan later. Please give it to her for me. I didn't expect to stay here when I came out, and I didn't say goodbye to her. If she knew I wasn't going back, she would definitely be very sad..."
