Chapter 42
Luo Lan didn't know whether she should tell the truth to the emperor or tell him lies.
Thinking of the reason why Leng Yu was under house arrest, she decided not to tell the truth so as not to cause trouble. The current Yu Prince's Mansion cannot withstand any trouble.
So she bowed and said:
"If you go back to the emperor, Prince Yu is still alive and bedridden, and occasionally eats some porridge and rotten rice."
The emperor's brows were tightened. He didn't expect Luo Lan to reply to him with the words "He is still alive". It seemed that Yu'er's condition was not very good.
He sighed a long time, got up and walked slowly to her side, and said softly in a low voice:
"Does he still hate me?"
Luo Lan was a little surprised. She didn't expect the emperor to ask this.
How could he not hate? Leng Yu only had hatred in his heart. He hated everyone, but she still understood the principle of being with the king as if he was with the tiger. She would not be so stupid that the emperor would say whatever he asked.
So she shook her head, "He hasn't mentioned it, Luo Lan doesn't know."
"Did he not even want to mention it?"
The emperor had a little more grievance between his eyebrows and his tone became gloomy.
Luo Lan bowed again and replied:
"He mentioned the emperor. Before coming today, he also said that the emperor is a wise emperor. I feel relieved that he will come and say that the emperor will not make things difficult for me."
Half of her words were true, and half of them added by herself were to raise the emperor. People always like to listen to good things, especially the arrogant emperor. It is always right to say more good things in front of him.
The emperor looked back at her in shock, with a hint of joy on his face, "Really? He really said that?"
Luo Lan nodded slightly, "This is his original words, Luo Lan dares not say anything false."
The emperor's face suddenly became much more serious, and he sighed and said:
"Yu'er, I used to be my most proud child, it's just a pity!"
Perhaps thinking of what he did, his breath was very heavy, Luo Lan held her breath and did not dare to speak nonsense.
She wanted to tell him why she didn't believe that her son was wronged? Why didn't she check it out? But she stopped talking.
After all, she has no evidence, and saying it rashly can only mean that she trusts Leng Yu, and it does not mean that Leng Yu has never done that.
After a while of silence, the emperor suddenly turned around and asked:
"I heard that you opened a clinic in the Yuwang Mansion? Do you know that you are doing this to smear the royal people's face?"
As soon as he said this, Luo Lan finally couldn't help it. You guys are almost forcing me to survive. Is it wrong to make money by relying on my own efforts?
She gritted her teeth, crossed her neck, and simply replied:
"I don't think this is slandering the royal face. Luo Lan relies on her own ability to make a living. She is doing well and is so proud. She swears to ask which one affects the face of other people in the royal family?"
Hearing her speak so righteously, the emperor suddenly snorted coldly, quickly returned to sit behind his dragon case, looked at her with sharp eyes, and said coldly:
"Are you doing it right? You changed the dignified Yu's mansion into a clinic. Does Yu'er know? Does he agree? He is the one who has always been the most cautious."
Luo Lan sneered at the corner of her mouth. She raised her eyes, looked at the emperor, and raised her voice:
"Leng Yu not only knows it, but also supports me very much in doing so. What right does he have to speak, a useless man lying on the bed?"
"You are presumptuous."
The emperor suddenly slapped the table and roared, "How dare you speak like this?"
"Are I wrong with saying this? Isn't he a useless person? He, a dying man, has any say? Who has ever regarded him as a prince? In the eyes of the royal family, he is not even as good as a clown. The emperor said that it was the Yu Palace, and I think it was just an ordinary house."
The emperor's face turned pale by her words. After he exhaled a few breaths, he shouted loudly:
"No matter what, you can't open a clinic in Prince Yu's Mansion. I'll order you to stop the clinic directly after you go back."
It seems that this is the purpose of the emperor coming to her today. He wanted to cut off his own wealth. Do you want the people from the Yu Palace to drink the northwest wind?
She raised her head without hesitation and looked at the emperor, and replied sternly:
"I can't obey my duty. I've been determined to open this clinic. I believe the emperor will not blame me for this. There is no law in the country of Daning that anyone is allowed to open a clinic in the Yuwang Mansion. If the emperor forcibly stops my clinic, I, Shui Luolan, will not obey me. I hope the emperor will think twice."
Leaving this, she turned around without hesitation, and the emperor pointed at her in anger and shouted:
"You...you are so bold and dare to talk to me like this."
But Luo Lan had already left the house, but she didn't care how angry the emperor was. Since he didn't care about Leng Yu's life or death, what right did he have to stop her from custody?
Her words just now have already shown that the emperor cannot give her an imperial edict in the name of opening a clinic, right?
The law of the Daning Kingdom does not mention that the royal family cannot do business, nor does it mention that the medical clinic cannot be opened in the royal palace. It is reasonable, and she can make sense. So what if he is the emperor?
After she came out of the imperial study room, A Cai and A Hong hurriedly came over and asked nervously:
"Princess, is the emperor embarrassed you?"
Luo Lan breathed a long sigh and shook her head, "He is the king of a country. How could he make things difficult for his daughter-in-law? Let's go and go home."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone came to stop her way.
The person who came was Ruyi. She looked at Luo Lan with disdain and raised her head and said proudly:
"The order from Concubine Chang was passed on, and Princess Xuanyu went to Dening Palace for a question."
Luo Lan looked at Ruyi and frowned unexpectedly, "Ruyi, are you promoted?"
Ruyi looked at her proudly, raised her eyebrows and said:
"Yes, I have to thank the princess for this. If you hadn't driven me out of the prince's mansion, how could I have the opportunity to serve the queen?"
Luo Lan raised her hand and smiled contemptuously:
"Go back and tell Concubine Chang that I still have something to do, so I won't pay my respects to her."
Leaving this, she was about to leave, Ruyi suddenly blocked her, pushed her, and said coldly:
"The princess is so brave that she doesn't even listen to the imperial concubine's words? Why do you reply when you go back? You said, "Princess, don't give her face? If you don't obey, don't blame me for taking action."
Seeing this, Ah Hong suddenly came forward and pushed her away, and hummed coldly:
"Don't touch the princess with your dirty hands. You slut, are you worthy of talking to the princess like this?"
Ruyi looked at Ah Hong with a red face and snorted with a thunderous nose:
"You are just a girl who is dead. What right do you have to talk to me? You are worse than dogs in front of me."
Ah Hong's face was so angry that she turned red. Seeing this, Luo Lan raised her hand directly, and with a "pop", it left five red handprints on Ruyi's face.
Ruyi was caught off guard. She opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at Luo Lan, covered her face with her hands, bit her lips and shouted:
"You are so brave, dare to hit me?"
Seeing that she didn't take her princess seriously at all, Luo Lan sneered, raised her hand, and with a "pop", she left five more finger marks on Ruyi's other half's face, and then said sternly:
