Prince Yu's Mansion
The morning sun came slowly. When it was time to eat, Xina did not come out. Luo Lan asked in surprise:
"Acai, have you called the second lady?"
Ah Cai nodded heavily, "I called, but she said she didn't feel well and didn't want to eat."
Hearing that she was feeling unwell, Xiaoling stood up nervously.
"I'm going to see if this girl is holding back her horns."
Liu Dechang beside her hurriedly pulled her to sit down again.
"Don't disturb her. I'll order someone to take the food back to her room later and let her sleep a little longer."
"But……"
"But what? She was used to being wild in the past. She must have been unhappy for letting her stay in the house for so long. It's all my fault. I'll just find a chance to explain the matter to the emperor later."
Hearing what he said, Leng Yu frowned and shook his head.
"This matter should not be rushed. The emperor has long been suspicious of my release of Chu people. If he now knows that there are still people from Chu staying in the palace, and they are Lan'er's mother and sister, he will definitely not let them go easily. For my mother-in-law and Xina’s sake, we’d better explain this matter when we think of a safe solution.”
Liu Dechang slapped the table with some annoyance and roared angrily:
"Hmph! It's really unreasonable. I am the great general protecting the country of Daning, but I can't even save my own wife and children. It would be strange if others know this and don't laugh out loud."
Seeing this, Xiaoling hurriedly tugged at the corner of his clothes and whispered softly:
"Dechang, don't get excited. This matter didn't happen overnight, nor can it be solved in a day. I faked my death at the beginning, which was a lie. Now that people know that I am from the Chu country, if the emperor determines my fate, It is also possible to commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. Not only will you be implicated, but Yu'er and Lan'er will also be implicated, so you listen to Yu'er and Lan'er about this matter, don't be anxious yet, take your time."
Xiaoling's words made Liu Dechang's expression gradually soften. After he sat down again, he picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of water. The moment he put the water glass down, he nodded.
"Okay, I can tolerate this for the time being, but don't worry, I won't tolerate it for long. I will definitely take you mother and daughter back to the Duke's mansion in a glorious manner."
Xiaoling looked at him and nodded gratefully, "Dechang, with your words, I am satisfied. In fact, it is quite good now. Not only do I have two daughters by my side, but I also have three lovely grandchildren. You are around me, and I can often see you. Compared with my previous life, this is already very good. You don’t have to blame yourself or be anxious. I still want to be with my three lovely grandchildren."
Three children sat on the other side of the table, listening to Xiaoling's words quietly.
When they heard grandma mention them, Huaiyu was the first to nod swornly,
"Grandpa, don't worry, we will definitely stay with grandma and never let her feel lonely."
An An also grinned and said seriously:
"Well, my mother was busy before and had no time to play with us. Since grandma and aunt came, we are very happy. Grandpa must not be in a hurry to take grandma and aunt away."
Lele blinked her big eyes and nodded.
"Brother and sister are right, we all like to play with grandma, and we don't want grandma and aunt to leave us."
The words of these three children made Xiaoling suddenly smile. Liu Dechang grinned and laughed.
After laughing, he said to Leng Ming and Luo Lan:
"Then, during this period, let your mother and Xina continue to stay in the palace. After the news has passed, I will mention this matter to the emperor. I believe that the emperor will consider that I, Liu Dechang, have made great contributions to the Daning Kingdom and will be particularly merciful. "
Leng Yu flashed his deep pupils and nodded heavily,
"This is Lan'er's home, and naturally it is also the home of my mother-in-law and Xina. General Liu, please don't be polite."
Listening to what he called Liu Dechang, Xiaoling frowned helplessly.
"Why are you still called General Liu? Shouldn't it be the same as Lan'er, father?"
Seeing her mother scolding Leng Yu for calling her father, Luo Lan was busy explaining.
"Mom, he has called his father General Liu for many years. He can't change it at the moment. Give him some time to change it slowly."
However, Liu Dechang smiled and waved his hand directly,
"No need to change, it's fine to call him General Liu. If he calls me dad, I'm not used to it yet."
Xiaoling said oh, "I see, I thought the emperor's son couldn't call Lord Yue Zhan daddy. It seems I was overly concerned."
Liu Dechang patted Xiaoling on the shoulder and softly comforted:
"Xiao Ling, you are really worried about this. No matter what Yu'er calls me, he is my good son-in-law. No one can deny this."
"I'm not denying it. I just think the way he calls you is a little strange. For example, he hasn't called me mother so far."
Seeing that she changed the subject and mentioned him directly, Leng Yu glanced at Luo Lan with some embarrassment. Luo Lan shrugged helplessly at him and pretended not to see, burying his head in eating.
Leng Yu cleared his throat and tried to call his mother-in-law mother, but after trying several times, he still didn't open his mouth.
When Liu Dechang saw this, he was busy fighting the poor and said:
"Everyone, stop chatting and eat quickly. The food will be cold in a while."
Luo Lan also greeted there:
"Yes, let's eat quickly. My father and husband will go to the military camp later."
Xiaoling didn't dwell on the matter anymore. Anyway, she just said it and didn't care too much about the title.
Luo Lan said to A Cai before moving his chopsticks:
"Tell the kitchen to cook a bowl of vegetable noodles for the second lady. It should be lighter and she can probably eat it."
"Yes, Princess."
A Cai took the order and stepped back. Luo Lan picked up the chopsticks and told the three children that they could use their chopsticks to eat.
After receiving her order, the three children picked up their chopsticks and ate slowly...
Inside the palace
As soon as the emperor took the pills handed over by Liu Xi, Concubine Li walked in wearing a long pink dress with eyebrows.
When the emperor saw her, he immediately felt a little big-headed. Every time she came, she always came to complain about Concubine Li. This was the most annoying thing to the emperor.
Concubine Li is his favorite concubine recently. She is young, beautiful, gentle and virtuous, and she is pregnant. However, Concubine Li just doesn't like her and often makes trouble for her. For this reason, the emperor has several times I reminded Concubine Li, but it had no deterrent effect at all.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you just took medicine?"
When it comes to small pills, the emperor is still very grateful to Li Fei, which is why he can indulge Li Fei.
He squinted his eyes slightly, fully enjoying the pleasure that the little pill brought to him, and said vaguely:
"Well, I have taken it, Li Fei. This medicine of yours is really a magical thing. Although I have lost weight recently, every time I take this little pill, I feel like I am in a state of ecstasy. This feeling is really amazing. It’s so comfortable.”
Concubine Li came and sat down next to the emperor. While massaging his calf, she said softly:
"You have lost weight because you have had too many chores recently and have been in a bad mood. Otherwise, I will accompany you out of the palace to stay for a few days. Anyway, you don't have to go to court recently..."
Leaving the palace?
The emperor looked at her with puzzled eyes,
"Do you want to go to Xi'er?"
Li Fei shook her head vigorously,
"No, let's go to Prince Yu's Mansion. Recently, Yu'er has complained a lot about you because you dethroned his crown prince. People in the community are also complaining about this. They are all spreading the news that Yu'er has just returned from a great victory. Even if He made a mistake, but it can be regarded as a meritorious service. Your Majesty, it is unfair for you to treat him like this. Therefore, I thought, why don’t you go to Prince Yu’s Mansion to stay for a few days to relax and let the people see that you are not It’s better not to turn a blind eye to him, a great hero of the Daning Kingdom, but to shut the people’s mouths.”
After hearing what she said, the emperor shook his head indifferently.
"I'm used to staying in this palace, why should I go to Prince Yu's Mansion to stay for a while? Let's forget it."
"Your Majesty, although you are used to staying in the palace, you will inevitably be disturbed by state affairs in the palace. Last time you stayed at Prince Yu's Mansion, you were in a good mood when you came back. Besides, didn't you also say, That kid Lele is very good at chess, but he's just a little bit behind you. He wants you to give him some pointers..."
Concubine Li persuaded the emperor while blinking slyly.
There were two Chu people living in Prince Yu's Mansion. She had no reason to go check it out personally, so let the emperor find out. As long as the emperor knew about the two Chu people, there would be something good to watch.
The emperor pondered for a while, then nodded,
"Okay, it just so happened that Concubine Li also said that she had been a little depressed recently, so she asked her to go out for a walk together. I heard that the lotus flowers in the lotus pond outside the city were in full bloom, so I just took her to enjoy them."
The emperor was always thinking about Concubine Li, which made Concubine Li's face turn pale instantly.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Luo Lan and Leng Yu are defeated, this Concubine Li will not be afraid at all.
Thinking of this, she nodded happily,
"Okay, then let's travel light, but I think it's best not to notify Prince Yu's Mansion in advance to avoid them having to worry about everything..."
A sudden attack was the purpose of her going to Prince Yu's Mansion.
The emperor waved to her with half-closed eyes,
"Everything is up to you. I'll take a few more naps. After taking this medicine, my sleep will be particularly sweet."
A proud smile flashed across Li Fei's lips, she stood up, saluted, and walked out quickly.
She had already ordered people to set up spies around Prince Yu's Mansion. As long as the two Chu people did not leave Prince Yu's Mansion, she would have a way to expose them to the emperor.
