Seeing that Concubine Li was dissatisfied and wanted to plead with the emperor, Leng Xi quickly turned around and shook her head, signaling her not to say anything more.

The emperor turned around without hesitation and said to Liu Xi:

"Go back to the palace and ask the imperial doctor to give Concubine Li some medicine to nourish her body. Her body is weak, and after this trouble, she will definitely not be able to recover for a while."

"The old slave understands."

After Liu Xi bowed and shouted to the people around him:

"The emperor sets up and returns to the palace."

When everyone heard this, they knelt on the ground and shouted,

"Give me a greeting to the emperor..."

The emperor's brows were frowning. He was proud of his old age and had a son, but he didn't want to be ruined by Concubine Li. If it weren't for the little pill, he would have to deal with her well.

Thinking of this, he closed his eyes slightly and took a nap.

Luo Lan, sitting in another carriage, kept frowning, recalling what Empress Li said to her by the river, the tough eyes when she pointed directly at Concubine Li after falling into the water, and her just when she was in the carriage

With that pale face, she suddenly felt a chill all over her body. This Empress Li actually had such a changeable personality, and her mind was so meticulous that she did nothing but consequences.

If a person like her walks the right path, he will be a very powerful woman.

But if the road goes wrong, it will be far more terrifying than Concubine Li.

Thinking of this, Luo Lan sighed with lingering fear.

She felt that she needed to digest what happened today for a while. First, Xiaobao framed An An, and then, Empress Li framed Concubine Li. These two things made her realize that she should be more careful when doing things in the future.

OK.

The emperor did not return to Prince Yu's Mansion, but took Empress Li directly back to the palace. After the emperor left, Luo Lan's heart could finally be more stable.

Leng Yu wanted to escort the emperor back to the palace, but did not accompany Luo Lan back to the palace. After he arranged for Ayu and Ahou to send the three children back to the palace, he took Xiao Lingzi and others to go straight to the palace.

Leng Ming volunteered to accompany his fourth sister-in-law.

Luo Lan looked at him in confusion, "Ming'er, you're tired too. Go back home to rest. Just have A Cai and A Hong accompany me."

"How can that work? I have told my fourth brother that I want to protect you, so of course I can't be a deserter halfway. Besides, I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all."

"Since you are not tired, let's go to the pastry shop to buy some pastry. Xina and my mother have been holding it in for two days. Buy some delicious food and reward them."

When talking about Xina, Leng Ming suddenly felt energetic. His eyes rolled lightly,

"Okay, she loves mung bean cake and osmanthus cake..."

"How do you know?"

Luo Lan turned around and looked at him with a weird look, "I don't know what she likes to eat, how do you know?"

"I……"

Leng Ming scratched his head awkwardly, blinked his eyes a few times, and covered it up:

"I heard what she said last time, otherwise how could I know?"

Seeing his panicked look, Luo Lan suddenly felt a different feeling.

After thinking for a while, she asked tentatively:

"I'm following my father's words. I want to find a marriage for you. You are not young anymore, and it's time to start a family."

Speaking of this, Leng Ming shook his head without thinking.

"I just turned 22 years old, so why are you anxious? My father just said that there is no official woman in the court who is suitable for me."

"Then what kind of thing do you like?"

"Sister-in-law like this."

Leng Ming blurted out something that surprised him. When he realized that he had a missed tongue, he hurriedly said:

"I mean, I also want to find a sensible and virtuous woman like you, the fourth sister-in-law, who can not only share my fourth brother's worries, but also keep the family in order."

Leng Ming's panicked eyes seemed to have caught something Luo Lan. After she tightened her brows, she immediately denied her thoughts in her heart.

No, Xina is five years older than Leng Ming, and she is a Chu country. If they want to be together, it will definitely be difficult and even cause an uproar. If they don't do it properly, it will endanger Xina.

life.

She must not allow such a thing to happen. Xina is her sister, and she tries her best to protect her.

Thinking of this, she sighed and said slowly:

"When my fourth brother and I first met, we had no feelings at all. We accumulated a little bit in our future lives. So when you choose a princess, don't just look at the surface of the other girl, you have to spend a while with her.

That's fine, otherwise, during this period, I will pay more attention to the daughters of the ministers in the court, and see which one is just right for you. If there is a suitable one, let your father give you a marriage."

"I won't bother my fourth sister-in-law."

Leng Ming seemed a little unhappy, and his voice became colder.

Seeing Leng Ming's performance when she mentioned her marriage, Luo Lan felt more and more that he must have fallen in love with Xina. Thinking of this, she secretly took a breath.

How should she control this matter?

Leng Ming did not return to Prince Yu's mansion with Luo Lan, but instead left early on the excuse of something.

After Luo Lan returned to Prince Yu's Mansion, she carried the pastries she bought and went straight to the room where Xina was.

At this time, she was lying on the table bored, watching Xiaoling doing the embroidery work in her hand.

"Nana, when your sister got married, my mother couldn't catch up and didn't give her anything. When you got married, my mother would give you this pair of mandarin duck pillows."

marriage?

For some reason, when she heard these two words, Xina was the first to think of Leng Ming, and a shy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiaoling did not notice her strange expression, but continued to murmur:

"You said you are not young anymore. Your identity cannot be revealed in the world now. I don't know when I can find a suitable marriage. What's so worried about? When your father announces your identity to the public, you will live

What should I do if I can’t get married at the age of marriage?”

"If you can't get married, don't marry. I'll keep with you and your father, wouldn't it be better?"

"That's not possible. If you can't get married, then you will lose your father and me. Oh, people are as old as you, and children can make soy sauce. You don't have a plan yet, what should I do?

?”

Xiaoling's nagging happened to let Luo Lan, who had just walked in, heard it. She put the pastry in her hand next to the table, sat opposite the two of them, and asked with crystal clear eyes:

"What? Mom is afraid that Xina can't get married?"

Seeing the pastries on the table, Xina suddenly felt energetic. She hurriedly opened the pastry bag. When she saw that it was her favorite flavor, she immediately looked at Luo Lan with a smile on her face and said intimately:

"Sister, you know me and I like these two flavors."

Luo Lan shrugged, raised her eyebrows with a chuckled:

"Leng Ming said, you like to eat these two flavors, and I'm still wondering, how did he know what I don't know?"

When talking about Leng Ming, Xina's face turned red. Luo Lan looked at her and pretended to be unintentional:

"Leng Ming is a careful man. The emperor wants to choose a princess for him. I don't know which woman is so lucky to be chosen by him."

"Ahem cough cough..."

For some reason, Xina suddenly felt a foreign object choking into her trachea, and coughed hard without any warning.

Seeing this, Xiaoling hurriedly blamed her:

"As such a big man, are you still so careless about eating?"

Luo Lan stood up, patted her back a few times, and asked with concern:

"Is there any better? Do you want some water?"

At this time, Xina had already coughed up tears. She waved her hand vigorously, and when she stopped the cough, she breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head.
