Chapter 458 The reason
Seeing these people blushing with anxiety, Luo Lan sighed and said with relief:
"Leng Yu has a few of you loyal brothers, which is his blessing, but this matter should not be done randomly. The words of you are not enough to make the emperor let go. I have also thought about it these days. The emperor has always wanted to establish the wise king's mouth in the hearts of the people. If you want the emperor to change his mind, why not let the people speak?"
Her words were pointed, and everyone looked at each other in confusion.
At this moment, Leng Ming, who happened to hear this, suddenly nodded with enlightenment.
"I understand. This time the fourth brother returned triumphantly, and there was no war between the Daning Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom. The people could live and work in peace. Everyone must be very happy. Everyone respected the fourth brother. Originally, the people on the streets were waiting for the emperor to welcome him, but now he was locked up in the heavenly prison by the emperor. If the people knew about this..."
At this point, he came to everyone and paused. Xiao Ningzi nodded as if he understood something.
"Oh, I understand, let's go to the people to spread this matter now..."
Luo Lan waved her hand with a serious expression.
"For this matter, you guys should not come forward in person. It would be best to go to the street to find some gangsters and beggars to spread the matter. I will go to the palace to find Concubine Li. I will ask her to beg the emperor to release the prince. A two-pronged approach will always make the emperor let go."
Hearing this, Ayu was the first to snort coldly.
"She wished the prince would never come out for the rest of her life. How could she plead for the prince?"
Empress A nodded and agreed, "Ayu is right. These days, Prince Xi has entered the palace every day. I heard that the emperor feels happy whenever he sees him, and is refreshed when he sees him. I don't know if he has instilled some ecstasy in the emperor."
"Hmph, it must be Concubine Li arranged something in front of the emperor, otherwise the emperor would not have been punished for the crimes of the Chu people."
"Concubine Li has always been favored. When she is old, she can still compare other young and beautiful concubines in the harem. She will definitely have some charming skills."
“…”
Listening to everyone's conversations, Luo Lan's brows were frowning. In the past few days, she had learned about the Chu State from Xina and her mother, and probably guessed the identity of Concubine Li, but she was not sure.
So, she was going to go into the palace to test Concubine Li.
"Okay, don't argue anymore. If you want the prince to come out, just do what I said, but you must remember to be responsible for finding people to spread the news. As for how the people do it, you must not force it or participate. I believe that with Leng Yu's reputation among the people, someone will come forward for him."
After hearing this, everyone nodded, "I understand."
Before everyone left, Luo Lan reminded again:
"Remember what I said, come back and report in time if you have something to do. Don't do it nonsense, and your prince will not allow you to do it nonsense. He is in the cell except for having no freedom."
After hearing this, everyone nodded and quickly left the place.
Leng Ming saw that everyone had left, and clenched his fists and said with hatred:
"Fourth sister-in-law, I know why my father didn't hold Concubine Li and Leng Xi responsible for refusing the Chu people."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's eyes tightened instantly. She looked at Leng Ming with her crystal eyes and asked suspiciously:
"Why?"
She thought about this question for several days but couldn't figure it out. She originally wanted to go to the palace to find out about Liu Xi, but she was afraid of arousing the emperor's suspicion. Now, when Leng Ming said this, it immediately aroused her great interest.
Leng Ming hugged his arms with serious hands, looked arrogant and raised his eyebrows:
"Sister-in-law, have you always said that I only have the energy of a child in my work? This time I have investigated this matter clearly. Is it considered a great contribution?"
Seeing that he had not waited to say something, he was going to take credit, Luo Lan shook his head helplessly, nodded and chuckled:
"You can talk about it first. If what you say is reasonable, then you will be considered a merit. If you just hearsay, it will be a different matter."
Seeing that Luo Lan didn't believe him, Leng Ming was anxious in an instant. He shook his arms and said loudly:
"How could it be fake if I spent a lot of money to serve the eunuch who served my father's daily life?"
Luo Lan blinked at him and urged him anxiously:
"Then tell me, I'm still in a hurry to enter the palace."
Leng Ming approached Luo Lan a few steps and whispered mysteriously:
"According to the eunuch who was the father's personal service, Concubine Li didn't know where to get some immortal pills. If the emperor didn't eat it, it would be like a balloon that was deflated. After eating it, it would be very energetic. Leng Xi had mastered the pharmaceutical method, so the emperor would obey what they said to their mother and son. Also, it is said that the emperor had already planned to let Concubine Li be the queen. I think the fourth brother's affairs should be resolved earlier, otherwise, if Concubine Li really ascended to the position of the lord of the harem, she might have to make some evil eunuch. If the fourth brother's position as the prince would be lost."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's handsome brows instantly twisted into a knot. She didn't care about Leng Yu's position as the prince, but the words "Eternal Pill" echoed in her ears.
In her impression, only these stupid emperors in ancient times believed such lies. Among the kings of all generations, how many people lost their power because of this lie.
I really didn't expect that the emperor would believe such slander. No wonder he knew that Leng Xi would keep Chu people in Xi's palace and refused to pursue it.
Thinking of this, she took a breath and waved her hand to Leng Ming:
"Your news is very important, but now I'm going to go to the palace."
After saying this, she took a big stroll and walked towards the door.
Leng Ming shouted behind her:
"I'll go with you."
Luo Lan waved his hand without looking back.
"No need, go and play with your three children. Your fourth brother hasn't come back. They are in a bad mood these days. You can spend more time with your fourth brother."
While saying this, she came to the door and said to A Cai and A Hong:
"Prepare horses and enter the palace."
Ah Hong didn't dare to neglect her, so she quickly went to prepare the carriage.
After Luo Lan arrived at the palace as fast as possible, he headed straight to Liyuan.
The purpose of her coming today is very simple, to ask Concubine Li to plead for Leng Yu in front of the emperor. Although this request is a bit incomprehensible, she still wants to give it a try.
When Lifei, who was sitting there drinking tea leisurely, saw her, she waved her hand with a smile on her eyes.
"Lan'er, you're here. Come here quickly and sit here and try the tea that the emperor just ordered. This is the Emei Snow Bath that officials in Jiangnan paid tribute. In the past, only the imperial study room could drink, but we concubines could not even smell it. Today, the emperor specially asked someone to send it to me to try it out. The tea leaves were fresh from the inside to the outside."
Looking at Concubine Li's smug look, Luo Lan felt a hint of disdain in her heart. She was demonstrating with her and deliberately told herself that the emperor was very fond of her.
However, Luo Lan was not interested in this matter. She was not the emperor's concubine. It was the emperor's business that the emperor wanted to favor, and what did it have to do with her?
