The next morning, Luo Lan put on a brand new navy blue gown for Leng Yu. After helping him tidy up the corners of his clothes, he also straightened the hairband on his head. Finally, he raised his hand and put it on his head. He pressed the tip of his nose and said playfully:
"My husband is really a talented person, charming and suave. The more my wife looks at him, the more she falls in love with him."
After saying this, she hugged his waist intimately and buried her whole body in his arms. She enjoyed this feeling very much. It was not only warm, but also safe.
In response to her teasing, the corners of Leng Yu's mouth slightly raised, then curved into a perfect arc. He raised his hands to hold her head, leaned down, and left a kiss directly on her forehead, then ambiguously Said softly:
"It's getting late, it's time to leave. I won't hurt you again until my husband's injuries heal..."
After saying this, he gently took her hand, walked out of the door, and walked directly to the door.
The carriage of Prince Yu's Mansion was driving on the streets of the capital, and the people came out to watch.
In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted,
"Prince Yu eliminated harm for the people and killed Wu Hong. He is a great hero."
Someone else shouted:
"Please Prince Yu, please kill the prince and eliminate harm for the people."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yu whispered to Xiao Lingzi outside the sedan:
"Tell him, if you don't want to die, learn to shut up."
After Xiao Lingzi accepted the order, he walked towards the man, and after whispering a few words to the man, the man shut his mouth instantly.
Luo Lan lifted the corner of the sedan curtain and took a look outside, and said softly:
"Leng Yun's reputation among the people in the capital is extremely bad. If it hadn't been for the people's shame on the Wu family and his son, someone would have scolded him behind his back."
Leng Yu leaned against the wall of the carriage, folded his hands, nodded with half-squinted eyes,
"Anyway, he is also a prince now. Although he is a brainless person, he does not lack the smart people Wu Yuanzhang has placed around him. When his position as the prince is in danger, someone will stand up and help him. It's his idea. Now he is most afraid of someone gossiping about him behind his back. The common people are weak people. If you talk too much, you will make mistakes. One word may put your life on the line. After all, your arms can't twist your thighs. .”
"That's right. He is a narrow-minded person. Even if he is no longer the prince, he will not let it go if he hears ordinary people talking about him like this."
There are still many people watching outside, even more than on the wedding day of Luo Lan and Leng Yu. This is enough to show how much harm the Wu family and his son have brought to the people of the capital. In the past, the people dared not be angry with them. Word.
The carriage of Prince Yu's Mansion stopped at the entrance of the palace. Liu Xi, who had already been guarding the entrance of the palace, stepped forward and saluted:
"Prince Yu, the Emperor heard that you were coming. He was afraid that you would stretch your wounds while walking, so he specially asked someone to carry a chariot to greet you."
The emperor's sudden concern for Leng Yu made Leng Yu and Luo Lan a little uncomfortable. They looked at each other, then smiled at each other.
Luo Lan said cheerfully and playfully:
"Ms. sir, get on the chariot!"
Although Leng Yu felt a little uncomfortable with the emperor's unwarranted concern, he happily got on the chariot and walked towards the palace, carried by several guards.
According to Sun Xi, the emperor was recuperating in the Yangxin Hall, and the morning court sessions in the past few days ended hastily.
Leng Yu and Luo Lan came to the back of Yangxin Hall and asked Xiao Lingzi, A Cai and others to wait outside. After receiving permission, they walked in directly.
At this time, there was a faint fragrance in the Yangxin Hall, but other than that, it was extremely quiet.
Hearing the footsteps of Leng Yu and Luo Lan, the emperor asked in a calm and somewhat hoarse voice:
"Is it Yu'er?"
Leng Yu hurriedly bowed and saluted with Luo Lan, "My son, I would like to pay my respects to my father."
It was quiet for a while, and after a while, the emperor slowly said:
"Come in and talk."
Leng Yu and Luo Lan looked at each other and walked to the inner chamber of Yangxin Hall together.
On the way into the palace just now, I heard Eunuch Sun mention that the emperor has been very unusual these days. He doesn't want to see anyone. Sometimes he will force himself to handle important matters in the court. The rest of the time, he is either out of court or in bed. Lying down.
Even his favorite concubine Li couldn't get close to him. Eunuch Sun analyzed that it was probably because the emperor didn't want others to see his pale face and embarrassment!
When approaching the dragon bed, Luo Lan stopped and Leng Yu continued to take two steps forward, bowed and said:
"Father, I heard that you were sick and came here to see you."
After a moment of silence, the emperor's deep voice came out,
"Yu'er, now that you are back, I feel at peace. Come closer. Father has something to say to you."
Leng Yu's eyes flickered several times in succession, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He walked forward slowly, came to the bedside, and said again through the bed curtain:
"Father..."
The emperor slowly sat up, slowly opened the bed curtain, looked at Yu'er in front of him, and then looked up at Luo Lan, who was hanging his head not far away, and waved to her,
"Princess Yu, come here too."
Luo Lan was a little surprised by the emperor's abnormal behavior. After nodding, she moved lightly and leaned towards the emperor.
When she came to Leng Yu, the emperor's face tightened slightly and he said seriously:
"Kneel down."
Although Leng Yu and Luo Lan were full of doubts, they both knelt down in front of him.
The emperor put his legs on the edge of the bed, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, and then said seriously:
"Yu'er, my body is getting worse every day, and I'm afraid I'm not going to die soon."
"Father, don't say that."
However, the emperor directly waved his hand to interrupt him, "Listen to me and finish what I have to say."
Leng Yu lowered his head and kept his mouth shut.
The emperor sighed palely and continued:
"I was confused before and blamed you for your mother's death. When your mother died, you were just a baby. What could you know? I have been sick for the past few days and often dreamed about your mother. I dreamed about her speaking to me. You said, let me take good care of you, but I suddenly realized that I, the father, have been sorry for me all these years, and I am really afraid that I will not be able to see your mother and concubine after I die!"
When the emperor said these words, his eyes were red. Although Leng Yu knew that it was too late for him to wake up now. The harm he had caused to himself could not be resolved in two sentences.
However, the emperor was a moody person. Thinking of this, he clasped his fists and said against his will:
"Father, this is serious. It was my son who did something wrong in the past."
The emperor sighed and murmured sadly:
"I know that even though you say this, you still hate my father in your heart. These three years are the best three years in your life, but I have been blinded. I didn't even investigate carefully when you were framed. I don't even know how others did it. I don’t even know about you, but I will compensate you well, and I have decided to pass the throne to you after my death, hoping that you can continue the continuation of the Daning Kingdom."
