These words came from Concubine Chang, which made Luo Lan angry for a while. She felt that she couldn't bear it. After thinking for a while, she raised her beautiful eyes, glanced at Concubine Chang, and said in a sharp voice:

"Isn't what Chang Guifei said contradictory? When you asked me to enter the palace, you said that no matter whether the prince is alive or dead, I will enter the palace as a royal concubine. Now I can't do it just because Prince Yu is still alive.

Are you going to change your mind? Don’t the people in the royal family mean what they say?”

After saying this, she glanced at everyone and said sharply:

"Which of you here doesn't know that I am Princess Yu? Not only that, but even everyone in the capital knows it. Aren't the emperor and Concubine Chang afraid that the people in the capital will laugh at the cold and heartless people in the royal family?"

"Bold."

Seeing that Luo Lan's words were spoken like needles, Concubine Chang raised her hand and shouted:

"Shui Luolan, it was then, and now is now. As a country girl, you can't be a concubine. This matter cannot be overstated. Don't try to climb up a branch and become a phoenix."

"Luo Lan is not a country girl."

As soon as Concubine Chang finished speaking, a subtle yet somewhat old voice sounded in everyone's ears. Everyone, including the emperor, went out looking for fame. They saw Shui Youcai, led by Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi, arriving.

In front of the main hall of the Royal Palace.

Seeing her uncle whom she hadn't seen for half a year, Luo Lan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"uncle……"

She was about to step forward, but Shui Youcai raised her hand to stop her. His face had never been so serious, and his eyes had never been so solemn.

He did not look at Luo Lan, but looked straight at the emperor, then quickly walked to the middle of the main hall, knelt down without any explanation, "Your Majesty, the common people have something to say."

Seeing that the emperor looked a little ugly, Concubine Chang shouted angrily:

"Come on, please kick this unknown person out. The management of Prince Yu's Mansion is really too loose. How come anyone can come in?"

Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi stood at the entrance of the main hall like two stone statues. Naturally, no one dared to take a step forward. Luo Lan said loudly:

"He is not an idler, he is my uncle."

After hearing this, the emperor glanced at Shui Youcai, who was kneeling in front of the hall, and frowned even more. After a while, he raised his hand and said slowly:

"Although you are her uncle, you cannot come directly to my palace without notification. Do you know your guilt?"

Hearing what the emperor said, Shui Youcai, who had always been timid, was for the first time not afraid. On the contrary, he said directly without changing his face and without running away:

"Caomin's visit this time is naturally related to Princess Yu's affairs, so I would like to ask the emperor to allow Caomin to finish his story."

Luo Lan was a little surprised by Shui Youcai's words. Maybe her uncle came to plead for him, but coming to the emperor to plead for mercy was just like striking an egg with an egg and it would have no effect at all. Her uncle was really reckless this time.

So she glanced at Leng Yu. She suspected that Leng Yu had arranged this matter, but Leng Yu also said that he had no knowledge and shook his head at her.

The emperor frowned impatiently and waved his hands:

"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. It's noon and I'm a little tired."

Obviously, the emperor did not want to talk to this talented Shui, who was not very good-looking and had a rustic look.

Shui Youcai fumbled in his sleeves for a long time, then took a silver lock in his hand and said to the emperor:

"Your Majesty, it is true that I brought Luo Lan home, but I did not pick her up, but someone gave her to me to raise. She is not an unknown person. On the contrary, according to the speculation of the grassroots, her

My parents should be either rich or noble, as you can see from this longevity lock."

The longevity lock in his hand was the one that Shui Chunhua brought to the emperor three days ago, but at this time, the longevity lock had a new look, and it was still shining with silver light. It seemed that Shui Chunhua had a lot of talent.

Work hard on this.

The emperor glanced at the longevity lock and said with some displeasure:

"This is just your guess. You came to me and said that she is extraordinary based on your guess. You are really brave."

Shui Youcai shook his head vigorously and denied loudly:

"Your Majesty, the common people don't dare to come here rashly. The common people can guess her identity, so they dare to come to you and talk about this matter."

His words made Luo Lan stunned for a while. She glanced at Leng Yu, then came to Shui Youcai, and whispered with some worry:

"Uncle, don't talk nonsense here because of me. Go back quickly. I'll be fine."

Shui Youcai raised his head and glanced at Luo Lan, shook his head vigorously, and before he could speak, his eyes instantly turned red.

When the emperor saw this, he asked directly and sternly:

"Shui Youcai, since you know this, please tell me what her identity is? But if you make a mistake, or lie to me, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor, and I will not forgive you.

about you."

The emperor's words became extremely harsh. Shui Youcai listened and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, as if he had made a lot of determination. Just when he was about to speak, Leng Yu stood behind him and raised his voice to remind:

"Shui Youcai, Princess Yu's matter has nothing to do with you. If you are not completely sure, don't get involved to avoid harming your family."

Leng Yu knew that his uncle had cared about Luo Lan before, so he didn't want him to blindly say some unrealistic words just to help Luo Lan.

Shui Youcai seemed to have made up his mind. He glanced at Leng Yu, with a hint of relief in his eyes, and then turned to the emperor and said:

"The grass-roots people have already thought about it before coming here. Today, I will say what I have been holding in my stomach for more than ten years. It can be regarded as an explanation to Luo Lan."

Speaking of this, he gently stroked the silver lock in his hand and slowly said:

"Seventeen years ago, when I went to the mountains to cut firewood, I met a woman with a baby in her arms and a very flustered look. When I saw this, I thought she was in trouble, so I went to inquire about it, and she said

This child is being hunted by her enemies, and she is afraid that she has no way to protect her, so she begs me to take this child home first, and she can come back to pick her up when she has the opportunity."

Speaking of this, Shui Youcai seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago. His expression became a little solemn and he continued:

"How could I not help someone when they were in trouble? Besides, I had been married to my wife for many years and had never been pregnant. Picking up a baby along the way was considered a good thing, so I took the baby home.

But I didn’t tell my wife the truth because I was afraid that she would be afraid that enemies would come to seek revenge on the child. I only said that the child was picked up.”

Hearing this, Luo Lan felt her blood rush to her forehead. Although this was the mystery of the original owner's life experience, it was also inseparable from her, because now she was the original owner, and the original owner was her.

The emperor glanced at Shui Youcai and continued to ask:

"and after?"

Shui Youcai nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead again and continued:

"Then the woman never showed up, so I secretly went out to inquire. I heard that the woman who gave me the child was dead. She was shot and killed. I was a little scared. I was thinking

, if anyone knew that I had taken in this child, someone would definitely come to kill us, and I would not dare to mention it again."

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of the scene back then, and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Luo Lan felt as if he was in a cloud as he listened to his words.

The emperor also looked at him with surprise and said:
Chapter completed!
