Chapter 537 Ambush in the middle of the night
"Eunuch Liu, listen to me. Although this injury is nothing, it also needs to be maintained. I came here today to tell you that there may be a big deal in the palace these days. You must be prepared and don't move around until you have to."
Luo Lan's words made Liu Xi's face suddenly turn ashen. He gasped and nodded angrily.
"I knew that something would happen if Prince Yu left. I will go to General Liu now and ask him to send troops to protect the emperor."
"Eunuch Liu, don't worry."
Luo Lan raised her hand and stopped Liu Xi who was about to stand up again.
"Everything has its own arrangements. Just take care of your injuries. I will take good care of you, the emperor."
"Princess Yu..."
Liu Xi wanted to say something else, but looking at Luo Lan's firm eyes, he had already guessed a few points in his heart, so he nodded.
"I believe that after the emperor wakes up this time, he will no longer treat you and Prince Yu like before. The matters of the treasury and the disaster victims will be handled by Prince Yu alone. The emperor's injuries will all depend on you. If you were not supported by you in the past few days, the Daning Kingdom would have been in chaos. You two are the heroes of the Daning Kingdom."
Luo Lan chuckled, "Eunuch Liu is too rewarded. My husband and I are just doing what we should do. The emperor can have a loyal servant like you, which is something that others cannot envy."
"The fate of the old slave and the emperor is hard to tell. The emperor is changeable and moody. Ordinary people cannot serve him. Perhaps only I can serve him!"
When he said these words, Liu Xi seemed to have thought of something, and a resentful look appeared in his eyes.
Luo Lan also felt that what he said was reasonable. People with a changeable personality like the emperor are really not something that ordinary people can serve. That is, people like Eunuch Liu who are meticulous and extremely smart can stay by his side for so many years!
After Luo Lan came out of Liu Xi, she came to wander around the imperial garden alone. Looking at the scene that seemed to be quiet, and thinking about the contents of Leng Yu's letter just now, her heart suddenly felt a little melancholy.
Not far away, a woman was sitting in the pavilion, staring at the lake in a daze.
Luo Lan recognized that it was Concubine Li. She had miscarriage because she stopped Concubine Li from being granted a miscarriage. Now the emperor is still unsure of life and death, so she must be in a bad mood.
She slowly walked to her side, bowed and bowed,
"Concubine Li, how could she have such a good mood to sit here?"
Concubine Li was interrupted by her words. She looked around and saw her girl standing not far away. Luo Lan quickly explained.
"I don't let them spread it, don't blame them."
"Sit down."
Concubine Li's tone was very calm.
Luo Lan sat down opposite her, followed her gaze, looked at the gurgling stream, and said softly:
"Don't you want to ask me about the Emperor?"
"Will you say it?"
"No, I heard that you, Concubine Li and some concubines came to the outside minister of Yangxin Palace to kneel down?"
"Ha! What's the use of that? Just pretend."
Luo Lan didn't expect that she would answer without any concealment.
The two of them were silent for a while, and Luo Lan couldn't help asking again:
"Do you regret it if your child is gone?"
Concubine Li looked back at her, shook her head with a smile on her lips,
"I don't regret it. I knew that this child would not come to this world in full. It would be better for her to find a good family to be reincarnated earlier. Anyway, I, the imperial concubine, have done the best."
Her words surprised Luo Lan, "Why do you say that?"
"Everyone knows that the emperor is seriously ill this time and may die soon. After his death, we concubines who have no descendants and have been favored by the emperor will go to be buried with us, and we have no choice but to die."
No wonder she was in such a bad mood. It turned out that she had such pessimistic thoughts.
The women in this palace are pitiful enough. They want to marry a man who is not many years older than them. If this man dies, he will still have to be buried with him. This is really a terrible vicious cycle.
Luo Lan sighed and comforted softly:
"Don't be too pessimistic, maybe the facts are not as serious as you think."
"Ha, I suddenly regret it. Why did I climb onto the Emperor's Dragon Bed with all my might? How great is I still being that unknown girl now. Maybe I will have the chance to leave the palace and see my family again."
Speaking of this, she suddenly covered her face and started crying.
Luo Lan didn't expect that her mood would be so bad. It seems that this fetal sagging incident had a great impact on her. To be more precise, did she suffer from what modern people call postpartum depression?
Thinking of this, Luo Lan took a breath and comforted softly:
"The emperor will be fine, don't worry."
"Really?"
Concubine Li suddenly looked at Luo Lan and asked as if she had caught a life-saving straw.
"Will the Emperor really be fine?"
Luo Lan nodded and comforted again:
"Women not only live for men, but also for themselves. If you are so pessimistic, your life will not be sunny. I hope you can be happier."
Concubine Li stood up alone as if she hadn't heard her talking, muttering,
"I'd better go back and wash and dress up. Now I look like this, the emperor won't like it when he sees it."
Her condition made Luo Lan a little worried, but what could she do? Everyone has their own way to go. She has enough of her own affairs, so how can she still have the heart to care about others? She could only pray in her heart, hoping that Concubine Li could ask for more blessings.
As night fell, Leng Yu and his group rode horses and drove with silver. They had already set a long distance from the victims on foot. Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiao Lingzi rushed forward and walked with him.
"Prince, find a place to live in front!"
Leng Yu nodded, "Okay, arrange for brothers to set up camp here..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned alertly, and then winked with Xiao Lingzi, then turned over and dismounted as if no one was around.
At this moment, an arrow flew out from not far away with a whoosh.
Leng Yu, who had already noticed it, quickly caught the arrow, and then Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Gemini and others quickly looked in the direction of the arrow.
Leng Yu looked at the arrow in his hand, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then murmured,
"What should be come, it's still here."
At this time, an arrow flew out from the other direction again, and Ayu, who was beside Leng Yu, hurriedly reminded him.
"Prince, be careful..."
Leng Yu's eyebrows were cold, and then he avoided the arrow and flew towards the direction where the arrow came.
The other party may have seen him coming here in person, and ran a few symbolically into the woods, then turned a corner, stopped, faced him, and said in a cold voice:
"Prince Yu, today you either die, or I die."
The person in front of him was covered with a black cloth, only a pair of sinister eyes were exposed. Leng Yu looked at him, raised his sword in his hand, and asked loudly:
"Who sent you?"
"Go to the King of Hell to ask."
After leaving behind this sentence of what the killer would say before he started, the man in black flew over and fought Leng Yu.
On the other side, Xiao Lingzi and others did not find anyone, so they returned to their original place. When they learned that Leng Yu was looking for someone in another direction, they quickly followed him.
The reason why Leng Yu took action himself was to figure out who wanted to kill him. The person he doubted the most was Leng Xi, but he didn't want to believe it was Leng Xi, so he wanted to prove it himself.
