Chapter 89 The Painful Past
Hearing this, Luo Lan's expression suddenly became nervous. Could it be that this person wanted to harm Leng Yu?
She raised her eyebrows slightly. The first person she wanted to harm Leng Yu was the prince. So she asked coldly:
"Who sent you? Leng Yu is already like this now. Is your master still unwilling to let him go? Has his conscience been eaten by the dog?"
The man in black shook his head hurriedly, "Are you Princess Yu? You misunderstood. I don't want to harm Prince Yu, I am his acquaintance."
Luo Lan looked at him alertly, "You show your face and report your name again. I will tell Prince Yu that if he is willing to see him, I will let you see him."
The man glanced at Luo Lan and then said:
"I can tell you my name, the veil cannot be removed, you are too many people here."
Luo Lan smiled helplessly. Don’t anyone who comes to look for Leng Yu dare to be upright?
She didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore, but nodded:
"Okay, let's talk about it, what's your name?"
The man hesitated for a moment, then said word by word:
"I'll bother the princess to tell the prince that my name is Ling Xiao."
Luo Lan looked at him again and said to Ahou:
"Wait here, I'll ask if the prince recognizes him, so I'm so nervous."
She winked at Ah Queen, intending to tell him to pay attention to this person and not let him run away.
She turned around and returned to the house.
Seeing her come back, Leng Yu asked anxiously:
"What happened?"
She came to him and asked softly:
"You have a man named Ling Xiao, do you recognize him?"
When Leng Yu heard this name, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at her with a pale face, "Lan'er, why did you mention him?"
"The person outside, he said his name is Ling Xiao, and he wanted to see you by name."
Leng Yu suddenly became silence, his face changed color. He clenched his fists and said anxiously:
"Let him in."
Judging from his nervousness, he must have recognized Ling Xiao.
So Luo Lan turned around and went out.
But she was worried about letting a man in black come to Leng Yu, what if he was a murderer who killed someone and died?
Thinking of this, she came outside and said to everyone:
"Ahou and Ayu stay, you all retreat!"
After hearing this, everyone retreated one after another. Luo Lan then walked slowly to him and said slowly:
"The prince recognizes your name, but I'm not sure if you are the Ling Xiao you mentioned. In order to dispel your concerns, there are only four of us here now. Take off the veil!"
Ling Xiao thought for a while before then raising his hand and pulling off the veil on his face.
The man in front of him looked young, with his eyes deeply trapped in his eye sockets, his eyes were melancholy, his cheeks were thin and bloodless, leaving only a trace of paleness, and his face was filled with the vicissitudes that he should not have at his age.
His appearance is as weak as a gust of wind that can blow him down does not look like a bad person
Luo Lan said to Ahou and Ayu:
"Take him in, cheer up, don't let him get too close to the prince."
No matter what, she didn't dare to be careless.
Yan Luo, she pushed open the door and led the way in front. Ayu and Ahou put their swords on Ling Xiao's neck and put him in the room.
When they came to the bed, Leng Yu, who was sitting on the bed, saw Ling Xiao, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he shivered and stretched out his hands.
"Xiao Lingzi, is it you?"
When Ling Xiao saw Leng Yu, his eyes were filled with tears, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Prince, Xiao Lingzi is guilty. Xiao Lingzi is incompetent and cannot come back early to protect the prince. Please punish him."
Seeing this scene, Luo Lan could see that Leng Yu was very familiar with this little Lingzi. She waved her hands to Ayu and Ahou, and they stepped back one by one, and she also said to Leng Yu:
"Since you are old, let's have a good chat! I'll go and see Dazhi."
Leng Yu nodded, Luo Lan glanced at Ling Xiao, turned around and went out.
"Xiao Lingzi, get up quickly, sit here and let me see you."
At this time, Leng Yu looked at Ling Xiao in front of him, as if he had been galloping in the desert for a long time, and finally saw the water source.
Ling Xiao also wiped the tears on his face, slowly stood up and sat down on the wooden chair beside Leng Yu's bed, looking at him, choking, "Prince, your legs?"
Leng Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "My legs are old. Xiao Lingzi, tell me quickly, how did you come here over the years? Are Xiaotanzi and the others okay?"
Hearing his question, Xiao Lingzi bit his lips tightly, clenched his fists, and told Leng Yu about their experiences over the years.
It turned out that three years ago, after Leng Yu was confined by the emperor, the four guards around him did not believe that Leng Yu would do such a thing, so when the emperor was in the morning court, he broke through the palace gate and came to the gate of the hall to kneel, asking the emperor to thoroughly investigate the matter.
However, the emperor was already so angry that he was dizzy. With the promotion of the prince, Grand Master Wu and his princely followers, he said that they dared to kneel in front of the hall, which was threatening the emperor. In addition, these four people had great martial arts skills, if they were not subdued, they would probably become a disaster in the future.
So the emperor issued an order to press the four of them into the prison chariot and sent them to Ningguta. They were shackles and buckles all year round, asking them to do hard work, but not let them eat enough. They were called "they were young and strong, and they were afraid that they would be lustful when they were full and they would make big mistakes again.
In the past three years, they have been beaten and scolded countless times. It is like the New Year for them to eat cold rice.
Fortunately, they survived, and all this relies on the protection of the national protector Liu Dechang. When they were sent to Ningguta, Lord Liu secretly sent him a letter and asked him to go to the place to find his disciples.
There were two officials there who were Liu Dechang's disciples. Although they did not take much care of them, they did not hurt their lives, otherwise they would have been tortured to death long ago.
Hearing this, Leng Yu's eyes suddenly turned red. He looked at Ling Xiao and asked hoarsely: "Then why are you back?"
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao's face was pale and he murmured:
"We tried to escape from there and returned to the capital to find the prince, but after trying several times, they failed. After returning, they would be beaten again. So we discussed that it is easy for four people to escape together to be discovered. We decided to come out first and come back alone to see if the prince is safe. Finally, everyone said that I am the youngest and asked me to come back first. A month ago, when the night was late, they broke the iron chains for me. They covered me and asked me to escape back."
Speaking of this, he suddenly covered his face and cried, "But the three of them were discovered by the officers and soldiers. I was worried all the way to what those people would do to them."
Leng Yu clenched his fists, beat his legs a few times, and said hatefully:
"It's all my fault, I've implicated you."
"Prince, don't do this. If we didn't think of you often when we were in Ningguta, we would probably not be able to survive now. We would think we would be able to leave there one day and come back to see you."
Speaking of this, Ling Xiao suddenly stood up from the chair, slid down again and fell to his knees.
"Prince, we have heard that you have been a bad life. I'm sorry, I'm late, I'm sorry for you, I've made you suffer."
At this point, he pounded his head hard, Leng Yu hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.
"Xiao Lingzi, don't do this. It's not your fault. Get up quickly."
