Ah Cai lowered her voice and whispered, "Miss, what on earth does this person named Liu want to do? Want to get close to him?"
After Luo Lan took a mouthful of porridge, he raised his handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and said nonchalantly:
"What he wants to do has nothing to do with us. We have other things to do, so let's go!"
After saying that, she stood up, A Cai and A Hong also stood up, and the three women walked out of the inn door in an instant.
Liu Wei's eyes flickered slightly. After they left, he quickly stood up, pulled the corners of his clothes, and walked out.
Walking on the streets of Ningluo City, Luo Lan's eyes looked left and right, expecting to see Leng Yu's shadow among these people.
After walking and looking all the way, the three of them finally arrived at the north gate of Ningluo City. There were many pedestrians coming and going. They stood in the door and looked at the passing pedestrians quietly.
This scene was clearly seen by Liu Wei, who was standing not far away. He half-squinted his eyes and looked at Luo Lan quietly, with a sinister look on the corner of his mouth.
This woman should be Shui Luolan. It seems that she is waiting for Prince Yu here just as the emperor expected.
But he can't take action now. He is just guessing. He has to make sure that this woman is Shui Luolan before he takes action. Killing innocent people is not Liu Wei's style.
For half a month, Luo Lan would bring A Hong and A Cai to the gate of Beicheng, quietly watching the passers-by, and she would never have thought that at this time, there were already several pairs of eyes staring at her. Among them were Liu Wei sent by the emperor and several killers sent by Taishi Wu.
Within this half month, Liu Wei also confirmed that the three women he had been staring at were the ones the emperor wanted him to kill. It had been more than a month since he left the palace, and it was time for him to go back and recover.
After much thought, he put on an all-black tight-fitting gown and a wide-brimmed straw hat. He half-crouched at the door of the inn, watching the three women go out, and followed them quietly.
The three women walked quietly on the road. A Cai looked at the vendors on both sides of the street from time to time, and occasionally asked: Miss, do you want to eat?
Without exception, Luo Lan shook his head. He had been here for half a month and still hadn't waited for Leng Yu. If nothing unexpected happened, according to the emperor's decree of pardon, he should be here at this time.
The weather was getting colder and colder. Luo Lan tightened her arms. Ah Hong hurriedly came over to help her arrange her clothes and asked softly:
"Miss, it's getting cold. Let's go buy some thick clothes when we come back later."
"good."
Luo Lan replied softly, "It's almost the twelfth lunar month now, and it's freezing cold in the north. It's the coldest time. I don't know if Leng Yu's body can bear it?"
A Cai hurriedly took two steps forward and loudly persuaded:
"The prince is strong and will be fine. Maybe he will arrive in Ningluo City today."
Speaking of this, she suddenly tightened her expression, exclaimed and murmured:
"Do you think it's possible that we missed them?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that Luo Lan's expression changed slightly when she heard this sentence, A Hong glared at A Cai coldly and scolded her angrily, "How could you miss it? The prince and the young lady are in the same spirit, and they will definitely meet here. .”
A Cai did not understand the meaning of A Hong's words, and said bluntly again:
"But what if they pass by Ningluo City in the morning or at night, or in the middle of the night? They just find an inn to stay at, and then get up early and leave the city. Wouldn't that just miss it? We haven't waited in vain."
Her words made Luo Lan stop moving forward. A Cai's words were exactly what she was thinking. She was also worried about this after waiting for him for a long time but did not return, but no one exposed her. She had been deceiving herself.
Upon seeing this, A Hong glared at A Cai hatefully, and quickly comforted Luo Lan:
"Miss, don't listen to A Cai's nonsense. It's only been half a month since we arrived. Let's just wait. There's no rush."
After a long silence, Luo Lan suddenly chuckled helplessly. After waiting for so long, she felt that she was becoming less and less confident in the relationship between her and Leng Yu.
Now he has restored his previous noble status, and she just took advantage of him when he was most vulnerable and became his princess. She is just a woman from the countryside. It is not that she has low self-esteem. She is suddenly worried that this relationship If it comes too quickly, will it disappear too quickly?
Thinking of this, she shook her head and said softly:
"It's okay. If we are destined, we will meet here. If there is no destiny, don't force it. If we wait another day today and he doesn't show up, we will find a place to settle down. If Leng Yuruo has feelings for me, he will come to find me. If you are ruthless, no matter how long you wait, it will be in vain.”
Shui Luolan doesn't need to depend on a man to survive. She can live well without a man, but the hardest part of her heart will be weak because of it.
The three of them once again stood in the wind and waited for a day. The wind was a bit cold today, bitingly cold, and the weather was also extremely cold, which seemed to indicate something.
Luo Lan has an obsession in her heart. If she waits a little longer today, if they don't show up again at dusk, then she will never come again.
Ah Hong looked at her standing motionless in the wind, and couldn't help but take off his coat and put it on her body. Luo Lan turned around, looked at her, and chuckled, then took the gown away. He got down, put it on Ah Hong, and said softly:
"Go back! We will go out to find a house tomorrow. The three of us sisters will settle down here from now on."
"Miss, can we wait for the prince?"
A Cai looked at the city gate anxiously, biting her lip, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Over the past few days, she and Ah Hong had talked countless times at night. The young lady's feelings for the prince were real. They prayed countless times at night, hoping to wait for the prince here the next day.
But without exception, the next day was always a day that disappointed them.
After waiting day after day, as time passed by, the excitement they felt when they first came here had been exhausted, followed by disappointment and anxiety.
Luo Lan fastened the buttons outside Ah Hong's collar, pursed her lips and chuckled:
"Go back. As I said before, if Leng Yu has feelings for me, he will come to find me. If he doesn't, the wait will be in vain."
Although she said this, she still firmly believed in her heart that Leng Yu's feelings for her were true. Even if they missed her and he couldn't find her when he returned to the capital, she believed that he would come to find her.
Therefore, it is a waste of time for them to come here and wait every day. It is better to settle down early and find ways to make some money to prepare for emergencies. Otherwise, how long will the one hundred taels of silver they bring with them last?
Thinking of this, she glanced in the direction of the city gate. Apart from a few gatekeepers walking back and forth, there was nothing else there. There were no more people entering or leaving the city. Looking into the distance, it was desolate.
She turned around and walked towards the city with A Cai and A Hong.
At this moment, standing directly in front, a man dressed in black and wearing a curtain hat blocked their way.
Looking at the man in front of him with his long sword on the ground, whose face could not be seen clearly but could feel a murderous aura, Luo Lan asked coldly,
"Who are you?"
