Xina turned around generously and patted his shoulder, raising her eyebrows proudly.
"Okay, I'll teach you when I learn it."
Letu grinned and smiled heartlessly.
Looking at his appearance, Luo Lan felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Letu could laugh happily now. When he returned to Chu State and inherited the throne left to him by his father, he would never be so happy again. Laughing, it seems like it would be hard.
…
Liu Dechang and Xiaoling chatted in the room for a long time, and probably only the two of them knew what they said specifically.
In the afternoon, Luo Lan and Xina came to the door with a bowl of porridge and asked softly to the two officers and soldiers guarding the door:
"Has my father been out?"
The soldier hurriedly clasped his fists and replied:
"No, General Liu never came out. There was silence in the room."
After Luo Lan and Xina looked at each other with a slight smile, Xina stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Dad, can we come in?"
"Dad, have you eaten?"
"Squeak!"
The door was opened instantly. Liu Dechang rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the two sisters with black lines on his face, and said coldly:
"It's easy for your mother and I to meet each other. Can you please stop arguing outside all the time? She doesn't need you to take care of her anymore."
After saying this, he directly brought the porridge bowl over and said sternly to the two sisters standing at the door again:
"Don't bother us if you have nothing to do. There is no need to deliver food until tomorrow morning."
After saying these words, the door closed with a bang. Xina was stunned there, dumbfounded. Luo Lan hurriedly held his forehead and chuckled:
"Let's go! They won't let us disturb them anymore, so why are we still here asking for trouble?"
Xina nuzzled her nose at the door, turned around, looked at Luo Lan with innocent eyes, and said aggrievedly:
"I haven't seen my father for more than 20 years. Why does he only care about my mother and ignore me? I won't care about him anymore."
Luo Lan patted her shoulder helplessly, lowered his eyes and smiled lightly:
"When you find the one you love, you will understand that although family affection is important, love is more important. Your relatives will only accompany you for a period of life, but your lover can stay with you for a lifetime. However, you will not understand it now. You’ll understand when you find the one you love.”
Xina looked at her with puzzled eyes. She had never experienced the taste of love. Apart from Letu, she had never even been in contact with another man. Therefore, she could not understand what Luo Lan meant by love.
…
The group of people walked on the road for three months. In the blink of an eye, spring came, and the fatigue along the way finally disappeared when they saw the capital.
Before entering the city gate, Xiao Lingzi and Zhang Yuan, who were already waiting here, hurried back to report.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have been waiting here for a long time."
Leng Yu got off the horse, stood with his hands behind his back, and asked with a serious face:
"How is the situation in the capital?"
Xiao Lingzi replied with a complicated expression:
"We arrived in the capital one month before you. According to your order, after we arrived in the capital, we gathered all the brothers from the Rebirth Hall and trapped the Chu people in Prince Xi's Mansion at night. But when we told them that the Chu people King Meng Xin had passed away and the new King Meng Letu succeeded to the throne and surrendered. They didn't believe it and were still fighting to the death, and... and controlled Prince Xi's family in Prince Xi's Mansion. After the emperor learned the news, Lei Lei was furious and wanted to send the palace guards to attack, but was stopped by the ministers. Everyone agreed that the people of Chu should not be angered to prevent them from harming Prince Xi's family. The emperor gave up. We also ordered our subordinates, together with Mr. Yu, to find opportunities to rescue Prince Xi’s family and kill all the Chu people. However, the subordinates tried to enter Prince Xi’s Mansion several times, but were blocked by the Chu people. We did not dare to force them. If you come, I might hurt Prince Xi’s Mansion, so I thought I’d wait for you to come back to show me.”
After listening to Xiao Lingzi's endless words, Leng Yu's brows tightened, and then he asked:
"Didn't it say that the Chu people have occupied the capital?"
Xiao Lingzi tightened his mouth, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "With our Rebirth Hall in the capital, how can we let them cause chaos? However, the Chu people, led by Li Tianyang, have sneaked into the capital one after another in the past few months. There were more than 3,000 people. The follow-up personnel turned back halfway because they received the news of Chu's defeat. Those who stayed in the capital did not know the news of Chu's defeat. They still planned to follow Meng Xin's order and fight desperately to enter the palace and assassinate them. Your Majesty, it’s a good thing that you asked us to come back early and trap them in Prince Xi’s Mansion, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.”
"Where's Coldstream? Didn't he do anything? What did he do during this period?"
Leng Yu was most concerned about Leng Xi. He wanted to know how many things he had done that he shouldn't have done during the Chu invasion.
Xiao Lingzi was stunned for a moment, then replied solemnly:
"Prince Xi was very close to the Chu people before, and he also learned from the rebirth cousins that if the Chu people's plan to invade the palace succeeds, Prince Xi will take the throne as his own, but later on we During the siege of the Chu people, he was very quiet in Prince Xi's Mansion, as if he had really become a victim of hostage. However, Concubine Li in the palace seemed to never stop, and tried to take people into Prince Xi's Mansion several times. , were all stopped by our people. For this reason, she even complained to the emperor, saying that we committed the following crimes and did not want to save Prince Xi, and sincerely let the Chu people kill Prince Xi and his family..."
At this point, Xiao Lingzi sighed helplessly, Leng Yu raised his forehead and frowned, with a hint of coldness on his brows, and said directly:
"Enter the city and take the princess back to her mansion. The rest of you will follow me to Prince Xi's mansion."
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan hurriedly stopped him and said:
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has an order for you to go and see the saint first after returning to the capital."
Leng Yu looked back at Le Tu who was sitting on the horse looking at him, and then said to Zhang Yuan:
"Go to Prince Xi's Mansion first, then go back to meet the Holy Spirit."
"My lord, this is inappropriate. What if the emperor blames me?"
"If the emperor knew that the king of Chu was coming, he would definitely not let him leave smoothly. I don't want so many years of hard work to go to waste, so let's kill him first and report later."
After saying that, he nodded to Letu, then turned and walked towards his handsome maroon horse...
Before entering the city, he rode to the carriage where Luo Lan was sitting and said in a deep voice:
"Madam, you go back to the mansion first. I'll go to Prince Xi's mansion and come back later."
Luo Lan lifted the sedan curtain door, glanced at him, and nodded.
"Go and come back early, the children can't wait to see you."
Leng Yu smiled at her, tightened the horse's reins, and quickly rode away, followed closely by Xiao Lingzi and others.
The group of people quickly split into two groups in the capital.
Liu Dechang also handed Xiaoling to Luo Lan and Xina, and he and Leng Yu rushed to Prince Xi's Mansion.
After Luo Lan took Xina and Xiaoling back to Prince Yu's Mansion, the three children came over happily and kept shouting,
"Mom, mother, you are finally back."
"Mom, I miss you so much. I thought you would never come back."
"Mom, do you think Lele has grown taller again? Why did you come back? Where is my dad?"
"Yes, dad, didn't you say you would bring him back with you? Where is he?"
At this time, the sharp-eyed An An was the first to see Xina walking behind Luo Lan. She immediately looked at Luo Lan in shock, then looked at Xina, covered her small mouth and exclaimed:
"Ah! Why do you have two mothers?"
