Someone worth remembering?
Leng Yu sneered in his heart. Could it be that she still expected him to miss her as an unwarranted mother-in-law? This is really a big joke.
He raised his eyes and looked at her coldly. Looking at the concubine he had called for more than twenty years, he felt a little empty in his heart.
He suddenly wanted to know something about his biological mother, but he really understood that the person in front of him would not tell him the truth. He had to investigate all of this slowly by himself.
Without raising his head, he said in a cold and unhurried voice:
"Leng Yu will become a commoner from now on. To me, this palace is an unattainable place, so I don't dare to miss the people here. To me, this place is just a thing of the past."
After saying this, he straightened his expression, cupped his fists and saluted:
"If there is nothing else, Leng Yu will resign."
"you……"
Concubine Chang looked at him with gritted teeth, but she was not his biological mother. She had never raised him, and she even rarely met him. She was only nominally his mother-in-law, so she had no reason to blame her. There was no reason to reprimand him.
The most important thing is that Leng Yu didn't care about her feelings. When she gritted her teeth in anger, he had already left with his clothes tossed.
As soon as Leng Yu left the door of Dening Palace, Leng Xi ran towards him with excitement on his face, shouting as he ran,
"Fourth brother, fourth brother."
Leng Yu looked back, and when he saw Leng Xi, a rare smile finally appeared on his lips. Leng Xi came to him, looked him up and down, and then jumped directly into his arms, patting his back with both hands. , grinned excitedly and said:
"Fourth brother, I finally see you."
Leng Yu pushed him away from his arms, with a smile on his face. He raised his hand and punched him in the chest, saying with a smile:
"Xi'er, I haven't seen you in three years. You've grown a lot."
Leng Xi scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Xi'er is already eighteen years old. My father gave me a mansion, so I am no longer a child."
Listening to his words, Leng Yu felt a little emotional, three years, how many three years can a person have in his life? He stayed in bed like this for three years, losing three years of youth and three years of good time.
Thinking of this, he sighed, patted Leng Xi on the shoulder, and said softly:
"Xi'er, fourth brother is leaving, take care of yourself in the future."
"Where are you going?"
Hearing what he said, Leng Xi couldn't help but asked anxiously:
"Fourth brother, my father has restored your throne, where are you going? I still have a lot to say to you."
Leng Yu pursed his lips and chuckled helplessly, then raised his hand, patted his shoulder, and whispered to him:
"Fourth brother is going to a far away place. We will meet again in the future if we are destined."
With these words behind him, he strode forward and left.
Looking at his back, Leng Xi froze on the spot, looking at a loss.
Leng Yu left the palace and went straight to Prince Yu's Mansion.
Walking on the road, the free wind blew on his face, and he felt relaxed for a moment.
But he felt that this freedom and ease came too easily. He didn't know how long this feeling would last. Walking on this land that belonged to the imperial power of Daning Kingdom, he still felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into Prince Yu's Mansion, Ah Gang hurried over and said hurriedly:
"Your Majesty, someone has come from the palace, and they have brought an imperial edict."
Hearing this, Leng Yu's brows tightened instantly, and the nerves that had just been relaxed suddenly tightened.
He could guess that the content of this imperial edict must be something he didn't want to hear.
He walked slowly to the courtyard, and when he was thinking about what to do, Eunuch Liu walked out of the main hall, appeared in front of him with the imperial edict in hand, smiled at him, and said loudly:
"The Emperor has an edict. Please accept it, Prince Yu."
Leng Yu's handsome pupils suddenly tightened, and the feeling of being bound rushed into his head again.
He swung his clothes and knelt on the ground with a solemn expression, waiting quietly for Liu Xi to speak.
Seeing this, Liu Xi spread out the imperial edict, raised it above Leng Yu's head, and read loudly word by word:
"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor issued an edict, saying:
The New Year is coming, and the royal family should return to Beijing for reunion. Now I have found out that Shui Luolan has done a good job in rescuing and taking care of Yu'er. I have restored her status as Princess Yu and asked her to return to the palace immediately. Prince Yu does not have to go to pick her up in person. Just wait in the capital. I will send a royal carriage to bring him back with the people from Prince Yu's Palace to show how much I value him. I will also give Prince Yu's Palace a thousand taels of gold, ten pieces of jade, and some pieces of cloth. Here is it! "
This imperial edict made Leng Yu full of doubts. When he was in the palace, the emperor had clearly promised to demote him to a commoner. What was going on with this sudden imperial edict?
It seems that the emperor wants to force him to stay in the capital!
But he was not allowed to think too much. Liu Xi had already handed over the imperial edict with both hands, bowed and said with a smile:
"Prince Yu, please take the order quickly!"
Hearing this, Leng Yu raised his hand and took the imperial edict.
The emperor's imperial edict was undoubtedly forceful, leaving him no room to refuse.
Although this imperial edict restored Princess Laneryu's identity, his heart was still extremely heavy.
He knew that Lan'er didn't want to return to the palace, she liked a free life.
Although he has an arrogant character, he has passed that unruly age. He knows that he cannot resist the decree and be disrespectful. What's more, he is not the only one in Prince Yu's palace. The emperor's majesty is not something he can disobey if he wants to. Dozens of people from Prince Yu's residence considered it.
I just wonder if Lan'er will blame him for making the decision privately after knowing this? Do you understand why he did this?
Thinking of this, he raised his hands to take the imperial edict, looked at Liu Xi with solemn eyes, and said sternly:
"If Eunuch Liu invites the Emperor back, I will personally go and ask Princess Yu to come back."
Liu Xi's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly bent down and said comfortingly:
"Prince Yu, the New Year is less than twenty days away. During this period, various princes will come to Beijing one after another. The emperor has said that as the oldest prince besides the prince, you have to share the emperor's worries. Don't go there yourself, otherwise, you can send two capable men to go with you?"
Listening to Liu Xi's words, Leng Yu's eyes were sunken, and there was a hint of helplessness between his brows. He knew that the emperor asked him to stay in the capital to receive the Tibetan kings, but in fact he was afraid that he would never come back. .
But now that the imperial edict was issued, he had to comply. He didn't want to take Lan'er to live a life of escape. He wanted to live with her openly.
Children in the royal family really have no freedom at all. His two royal sisters were married off to foreign countries for marriage. If he hadn't been in trouble three years ago, he might have been married to someone by the emperor.
Thinking of this, he could only sigh and send Eunuch Liu out of the house.
