The emperor's words made Leng Yu's expression suddenly tense. Judging from Li Fei's proud look, she must have already known the room where Xina and Xiaoling lived. The emperor was going there now and couldn't hide it anymore.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took two steps and stood in front of the emperor, "Father, it's noon now and the sun is shining brightly. Why don't you take a nap first and go back when it's cooler in the afternoon? Anyway, even if there are really Chu people in Prince Yu's Mansion. , and can’t run away.”
Seeing that Leng Yu was trying to stop her, Li Fei became even more certain that those two women were from Chu.
Before the emperor could speak, she directly refused:
"How can the emperor sleep on such a big matter? If there are people from the Chu Kingdom staying in Prince Yu's Mansion, it means that there is an enemy in Prince Yu's Mansion. If such people are not eliminated soon, sooner or later they will endanger the safety of Daning Kingdom. , Yu'er, please don't stop your father."
The emperor also felt that Concubine Li's words were reasonable. He nodded in agreement,
"Well, there was something about you releasing Chu people out of the city privately. Now if I see Chu people again in your Prince Yu's Mansion, then I will investigate the matter carefully."
After saying this, he raised his voice and shouted:
"Concubine Li, lead the way."
Concubine Li proudly waved the handkerchief in her hand, twisted her graceful waist, and signaled with a charming voice:
"Please, Your Majesty, I have ordered people to guard the two Chu people in the backyard since I found them. Those two Chu people can hardly fly even if they have wings."
After saying this, she did not forget to glance at Leng Yu with the corner of her mouth raised, with a sinister look in her eyes.
Leng Yu's face turned dark. If the emperor found out that Xina and the others were living in the backyard of Prince Yu's Mansion, he would not be able to explain it clearly even if he had ten mouths.
When he walked out of the main hall, he winked at A Gang who was not far away. A Gang understood and ran to find Luo Lan.
Leng Yu quickly followed the emperor, his brows furrowed. For a moment, he thought of what to do.
Obviously, it is too late for them to leave Prince Yu's Mansion now.
Is there any other way?
there is none left.
In this case, let's face it calmly. He will take everything on his shoulders and try not to implicate Luo Lan and General Liu.
As for Xina and Luo Lan, he will protect them at all costs and will never let them be harmed, because they are the people closest to Luo Lan.
The emperor and his entourage walked in a hurry, and Concubine Li also changed her usual small steps and strode forward. She couldn't wait to see the emperor's angry look when he saw the two Chu people, and Leng Yu and Luo Lan. What it looks like when being beheaded.
Seeing the emperor and his entourage coming from afar, Cai Die, who was waiting at the corridor leading to the backyard, turned around in shock. She came to A Cai and whispered a few words in her ear. Without any time to think about it, he ran towards the room with a pale face.
All of this gave Aunt Lu, who was hiding not far away, a panoramic view. When she saw A Cai's flustered look because she heard that the emperor was coming, a proud smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She watched the two women enter the room with her own eyes. There was no back door, so they couldn't escape this time.
A Cai couldn't help but opened the door quickly, and while Luo Lan was talking to Xina and Xiaoling, she shouted loudly:
"The princess is not well. The emperor is leading people here. What should we do?"
"What?"
Luo Lan suddenly stood up from the chair, and Xina and Xiaoling's expressions also became very nervous.
"Why is the emperor here? Where are you?"
A Cai shook her head vigorously, "I don't know, the prince is also following the emperor, and Concubine Li, they arrived just as they were talking."
"I understand, you go down first."
Luo Lan waved his hand to Ah Cai with a calm expression. Although Ah Cai had unspeakable worries in his heart, he nodded and quietly retreated.
Xiaoling turned around in a circle a little impatiently and said anxiously:
"What should we do now? Will the Emperor punish Prince Yu's Mansion because of Xina and me?"
Xina also bit her lip and nodded fiercely.
"Not only that, we will also bring trouble to dad. What should we do now? The courtyard is full of people from the palace, and we have no way to escape."
Xiaoling suddenly took two steps quickly, grabbed Luo Lan's hand, and said hurriedly:
"Lan'er, when the emperor comes later, you just pretend you don't know anything. Just say you don't recognize us. You don't know we are from the Chu country. Even if Xina and I die, we can't harm you."
Xina also nodded solemnly,
"Mom is right. Before we came, you were living a good life. If our arrival adds trouble to your originally peaceful life, then it would be easier to kill us."
"Xena, don't talk nonsense."
Seeing that Xina was in a low mood, Luo Lan frowned and scolded her, then sat on the chair next to her.
Seeing this, Xiaoling stepped forward in confusion and urged:
"Lan'er, please go quickly. Stop sitting here. We will be blocked in the room later. How can we explain it?"
Luo Mian shook his head calmly,
"It's too late to leave now. As expected, they have already arrived in the yard. Even if I have wings, I can't fly out."
"Then what should we do? How about this? You find a place to hide. As long as they see me and Xina, they won't search the room. "
"hehe……"
Luo Lan shook his head again and smiled bitterly, "Mom, you think too simply. Even if I hide to the ends of the world, I can't escape our mother-daughter relationship, so don't worry here."
Xiaoling was so anxious that she spread her hands with sweat on her forehead, "I'm afraid it will hurt you. For so many years, my mother has not been able to take care of you. I originally felt very sorry for you. Now that you have just lived a good life, you have to suffer from us again." How can I bear to be implicated?"
Seeing her mother walking around here and talking non-stop, Luo Lan waved her hands impatiently,
"Mom, can you sit down for a while and let me think of a solution?"
Luo Lan's voice was filled with displeasure, and Xina hurriedly came over and pulled the corner of her clothes, "Mom, let me think about it. She may have a better way."
Xiaoling sighed in disapproval,
"Now that the matter has come to this, what else can she do? The only way now is not to admit her relationship with us."
At this moment, there was a noise outside, and Xina hurriedly raised her finger and whispered to her mouth.
Luo Lan frowned, quietly came to the door, and looked out through the crack in the door.
I saw that the emperor was really not far from the door of this house, standing with his hands behind his back, and Leng Yu stood beside him, his face ashen.
On the other side, Li Fei pointed at this room with a bright face,
"Mother Lu, tell the emperor what you saw?"
Aunt Lu hurriedly knelt down on her knees and replied loudly:
"When I return to the emperor, I saw two Chu women entering this room and never came out."
When Leng Yu saw this, he pointed his finger at her and scolded her harshly:
"Don't talk nonsense. How come there are people from Chu in my palace, Prince Yu?"
Grandma Lu ignored him, but looked at the emperor without any fear and replied loudly:
"Your Majesty, I can see clearly. If I am wrong, I will gouge out my own eyes to show that I am not lying."
Seeing her swearing such hatred, Leng Yu's brows suddenly knitted into a knot. He turned back to look at A Gang not far away, but A Gang shook his head vigorously at him, indicating that he had not found the princess.
Leng Yu looked up at the door, with many thoughts and worries in his mind.
The emperor frowned, pointed at the door, and shouted:
"Someone, open that door."
