These words came from Concubine Chang, which made Luo Lan angry for a while. She felt that she couldn't bear it. After thinking for a while, she raised her beautiful eyes, glanced at Concubine Chang, and said in a sharp voice:
"Isn't what Chang Guifei said contradictory? When you asked me to enter the palace, you said that no matter whether the prince is alive or dead, I will enter the palace as a royal concubine. Now I can't do it just because Prince Yu is still alive. Are you changing your mind? Don’t the people in the royal family keep their words?"
After saying this, she glanced at everyone and said sharply:
"Which of you here doesn't know that I am Princess Yu? Not only that, but even everyone in the capital knows it. Aren't the emperor and Concubine Chang afraid that the people in the capital will laugh at the cold and heartless people in the royal family?"
"Bold."
Seeing that Luo Lan's words were spoken like needles, Chang Guifei hurriedly raised her hand and shouted:
"Shui Luolan, it was then, and now is now. As a country girl, you cannot be the concubine. This matter cannot be overstated. Don't try to climb up a branch and become a phoenix."
"Luo Lan is not a country girl."
As soon as Concubine Chang finished speaking, a subtle but somewhat old voice sounded in everyone's ears. Everyone, including the emperor, went out looking for fame. They saw Shui Youcai, led by Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi, arrived. In front of the main hall of the palace.
Seeing her uncle whom she hadn't seen for half a year, Luo Lan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"uncle……"
She was about to step forward, but Shui Youcai raised her hand to stop her. His face had never been so serious, and his eyes had never been so solemn.
He did not look at Luo Lan, but looked straight at the emperor, and then quickly walked to the middle of the main hall. Without any explanation, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, ordinary people and talented people have something to say."
Seeing that the emperor looked a little ugly, Concubine Chang shouted angrily:
"Come here, get this unknown person out. The management of Prince Yu's Mansion is really too loose. How come anyone can come in?"
Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi stood at the entrance of the main hall like two stone statues. Naturally, no one dared to take a step forward. Luo Lan said loudly:
"He is not an idler, he is my uncle."
After hearing this, the emperor glanced at Shui Youcai, who was kneeling in front of the hall, and frowned even more. After a while, he raised his hand and said slowly:
"Although you are her uncle, you cannot come directly to my palace without a communication. Do you know your guilt?"
Hearing what the emperor said, Shui Youcai, who had always been timid, was for the first time not afraid. On the contrary, he said directly without changing his face and without any hesitation:
"Caomin's visit this time is naturally related to Princess Yu's affairs, so I would like to ask the emperor to allow Caomin to finish his words."
Luo Lan was a little surprised by Shui Youcai's words. Maybe her uncle came to plead for him, but coming to the emperor to plead for mercy was like hitting an egg with an egg and it would have no effect at all. Her uncle was really reckless this time.
So she glanced at Leng Yu. She suspected that Leng Yu had arranged this matter, but Leng Yu also said that he had no knowledge and shook his head at her.
The emperor frowned impatiently and waved his hands:
"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. It's noon and I'm a little tired."
Obviously, the emperor didn't want to talk to this talented Shui, who was plain-looking and had a rustic look.
Shui Youcai fumbled in his sleeves for a long time, then took a silver lock in his hand and said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, it is true that I brought Luo Lan home, but I did not pick her up. Someone gave her to me to raise. She is not an unknown person. On the contrary, according to the speculation of the grassroots, her Parents should be either rich or noble, which can be seen from this longevity lock."
The longevity lock in his hand was the one that Shui Chunhua brought to the emperor three days ago, but at this time, the longevity lock had a new look, and it was still shining with silver light. It seemed that Shui Chunhua had a lot of talent. Work hard on this.
The emperor glanced at the longevity lock and said with some displeasure:
"This is just your guess. You came to me and said that she is extraordinary based on your guess. You are really brave."
Shui Youcai shook his head vigorously and denied loudly:
"Your Majesty, the common people don't dare to come here rashly. The common people can guess her identity, so they dare to come to you and talk about this matter."
His words made Luo Lan stunned for a while. She glanced at Leng Yu, then came to Shui Youcai, and whispered worriedly:
"Uncle, don't talk nonsense here because of me. Go back quickly. I'll be fine."
Shui Youcai raised his head and glanced at Luo Lan, shook his head vigorously, and before he could speak, his eyes instantly turned red.
Seeing this, the emperor asked directly and sternly:
"Shui Youcai, since you know this, please tell me, what is her identity? But if you make a mistake, or lie to me, you will be guilty of deceiving me, and I will not forgive you." about you."
The emperor's words became extremely harsh. After hearing this, Shui Youcai raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, as if he had made a lot of determination. Just when he was about to speak, Leng Yu stood behind him and raised his voice to remind:
"Shui Youcai, Princess Yu's matter has nothing to do with you. If you are not completely sure, don't get involved to avoid harming your family."
Leng Yu knew that his uncle had cared about Luo Lan before, so he didn't want him to blindly say some unrealistic words just to help Luo Lan.
Shui Youcai seemed to have made up his mind. He glanced at Leng Yu, with a hint of relief in his eyes, and then turned to the emperor and said:
"The grass-roots people have already thought about it before coming here. Today, I will say what I have been holding in my stomach for more than ten years. It can be regarded as an explanation to Luo Lan."
Having said this, he gently stroked the silver lock in his hand and slowly said:
"Seventeen years ago, when I went to the mountains to cut firewood, I met a woman with a baby in her arms and a very flustered look. When I saw this, I thought she was in trouble, so I went to inquire about it, and she said This child is being hunted by her enemies, and she is afraid that she cannot protect her, so she begs me to take this child home first, and she can come back to pick her up when she has the opportunity."
Speaking of this, Shui Youcai seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago. His expression became a little solemn and he continued:
"When someone is in trouble, how can I not help? Besides, my wife and I have been married for many years and have never been pregnant. Picking up a baby halfway is a good thing, so I took the baby home. But I didn’t tell my wife the truth because I was afraid that she would be afraid that enemies would come to seek revenge on the child. I only said that the child was picked up.”
Hearing this, Luo Lan felt her blood rush to her forehead. Although this was the mystery of the original owner's life experience, it was also inseparable from her, because now she was the original owner, and the original owner was her.
The emperor glanced at Shui Youcai and continued to ask:
"and after?"
Shui Youcai nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead again and continued:
"Then the woman never showed up, so I secretly went out to inquire. I heard that the woman who gave me the child was dead. She was shot and killed. I was a little scared. At that time, I was thinking , if anyone knew that I had taken in this child, someone would definitely come to kill us, and I would not dare to mention it again."
Speaking of this, he seemed to think of the scene back then, and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Luo Lan seemed to have a feeling of confusion when listening to his words.
The emperor also looked at him with surprise and said:
"The child you are talking about is Shui Luolan?"
