Huaiyu and Lele also followed her shouts. When they saw Xina, they also looked at Luo Lan with puzzled and surprised eyes.
"Mom, why does she look exactly like you?"
Listening to the chirping shouts of these children, Luo Lan finally felt a lot more at ease. She touched their heads one by one and said with a gentle smile:
"This is your aunt, you can call her aunt, and this one, she is your grandmother, please call someone."
Hearing this, the three children stood there, looking at each other at a loss.
When Xiaoling saw these three lovely children, she waved to them with a smile and leaned over to say hello.
"Children, come to grandma quickly."
Huaiyu, the eldest, took two timid steps forward and timidly called out, "Hello, grandma."
Seeing this, An An and Lele also took two steps forward and called out in delicate voices:
"Hello grandma."
When Xiaoling heard that the three children called her grandma, Xiaoling suddenly smiled. She touched the heads of the three children one by one and said to them lovingly:
"Grandma came in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare gifts for you. She took you to the street to buy them later."
The three children stared wide-eyed and shouted in unison:
"Thank you grandma."
Seeing this, Xina also bowed and looked at the three children, smiling softly:
"Children, what are your names? Call me aunt."
Lele tilted her head and glanced at Xina, muttering her little mouth,
"Hello, aunt, my name is Lele."
Xina immediately stepped forward happily and picked him up, grinning happily and said:
"Lele is so good, my aunt will take you to buy delicious and fun things later."
Seeing this, the other two children also stepped forward and volunteered:
"Hello, aunt, my name is An An."
"Hello, aunt, my name is Huaiyu."
Xina put Lele on the ground, hugged the other two children one by one, then pressed the tips of their noses one by one, and said with a smile:
"You are all very cute. My aunt and grandma will always be with you from now on. Are you happy?"
Hearing this, the three children first opened their mouths in surprise, and then nodded heavily together.
"Happy, happy, it's great."
"It's great. Not only do we have grandpa, but we also have grandma."
Luo Lan stood aside with a faint smile on his lips, and then said to A Cai:
"Tell the kitchen to arrange meals for the evening, and my father and his family will stay at the house to eat."
A Cai glanced at Xiaoling and walked quickly to the kitchen.
She secretly murmured in her heart, why did the princess suddenly have a mother and sister when she went on a long trip? Why did Lord Protector suddenly have an extra wife? But luckily she didn't do anything stupid back then, otherwise, she should have found a pit to bury herself by now.
After A Cai walked away, Luo Lan said to the three children:
"Huaiyu, An'an, Lele, you take grandma and aunt around the house. It's their first time here. There are many unfamiliar places. Mom, please go out."
Hearing what she said, Xina asked in a low voice alertly:
"Are you going to Prince Xi's Mansion?"
Luo Lan nodded solemnly, "Well, I'm not worried."
"At least I know some skills, I'll go with you."
"good."
After Luo Lan nodded to Xina, the two of them said a few words to Ah Hong and then went out together.
They were traveling on horseback this time. In order to prevent the common people from seeing the same faces and causing criticism, they each wore a black veil on their faces.
At this time, outside the gate of Prince Xi's Mansion, Le Tu rode his horse and stood, shouting to the people inside:
"I am Meng Letu, the newly appointed king of Chu State. Now I order you all to evacuate Prince Xi's Mansion and follow me back to Chu State. Prince Yu has promised me that I will not care about the wrong things you have done."
In Prince Xi's Mansion, Li Tianyang stood in the door with a solemn expression and his hands behind his back. Next to him stood Zhong'er who had assassinated Luo Lan.
Chong'er cautiously stepped forward and asked,
"General Lee, what should we do?"
Li Tianyang snorted lightly and waved his hand.
"You want to lie to us? There is no way."
"But I heard the voice of the young prince."
"I know."
Li Tianyang frowned with a cold expression, "It's because of his voice that we can't open the door. We were ordered by the king. We can't believe the little prince's words. He is a soft-hearted person in the first place. He may have been tricked by someone." Bewitched."
Chong'er's shrewd eyes flashed a few times, then continued:
"But...he said just now that the king has passed away. Isn't that true?"
Hearing these words, Li Tianyang's face suddenly darkened. He had followed King Meng Xin for many years and was loyal to him. He knew that Meng Xin's greatest wish in this life was to kill Liu Dechang and seize the country of Daning.
Now, even if he dies, this wish will come true for him.
Moreover, even if he lays down his arms and surrenders now, there will be no place for him in Chu and Daning...
Thinking of this, his already gloomy face was suddenly filled with a complicated expression, and then he said to Chong'er:
"Go and bring the child."
Chong'er looked at him in astonishment, "What are you going to do?"
His eyes shone brightly, and his hoarse voice said slowly:
"Since the king is deceased, we must find someone to bury him with!"
Chong'er suddenly panicked, but Li Tianyang's sharp eyes were looking at her, and then he said hatefully:
"Do you want me to repeat it again?"
Zhong'er's head shook like a wavy drum, then he bit his lip, turned around, and walked quickly into the yard.
At this time, Leng Xi was sitting in the main hall of Prince Xi's Mansion with half-closed eyes, and several Chu people were standing beside him holding broad swords.
He was not afraid of these Chu people, and he already knew that Leng Yu and the others were outside the door.
He also expected that these Chu people would jump over the wall in a panic, but he hoped that these Chu people would hurt him, otherwise he would be worried about not being able to explain to his father that the Chu people were living in Prince Xi's mansion openly.
While he was thinking about this, Yu Qiaoqiao's heartbreaking voice came in from outside,
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, let him go, let him go..."
This shout made his originally calm face suddenly turn livid.
He opened his eyes wide and looked outside. Just as he was about to stand up, the Chu people holding knives gathered around him and said in a cold and stern voice:
"Prince Xi, don't move."
Leng Xi looked at these people with hateful eyes and asked loudly:
"What are they going to do? Go and call Li Tianyang. I have something to ask him."
Those Chu people still looked at him coldly with their swords in hand, without moving.
Obviously, his words would not have any deterrent effect. Leng Xi's originally livid face turned pale.
He suddenly raised his hand and knocked down the big knife beside him, and then he was about to stride out, but was frightened by a cold voice behind him,
"Prince Xi, General Li said that if you take one step away from here, someone from Prince Xi's mansion will be killed. You have two steps to go before you step out of this threshold. You have to take care of yourself."
