Chapter 41 Entering the palace to meet the driver
Hearing this, Luo Lan frowned. As far as she knew, Prince Yu's Mansion had been forgotten by the emperor for three years. Why did an edict suddenly come? What would be written in this edict?
Without thinking too much, she quickly stood up and knelt down with A Cai and A Hong. All the servants in the mansion also knelt down.
Eunuch Liu walked into the hall, looked at her with half-closed eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Your Majesty has decreed that Princess Yu will come to the palace to see you. Please accept this!"
Entering the palace to meet the driver?
Luo Lan asked with some confusion:
"May I ask my father-in-law, why does the emperor want to see me?"
"have no idea."
Eunuch Liu frowned coldly and looked at her, "Princess Yu, please clean up quickly and leave!"
"Go now?" She looked at Eunuch Liu in surprise, this was too urgent!
"Yes, the Emperor is waiting for you. Please clean up quickly and don't be rude. Our family is waiting at the door."
After saying this, Eunuch Liu shook his whisk and turned around to wait in the yard.
Luo Lan went to Leng Yu's room. She wanted to tell him, otherwise he would miss her if she stayed there for a long time.
Although Leng Yu still had no feeling in his legs, he supported his body with his hands and was able to stand up and sit for a while.
After Luo Lan came in, he saw that her face was not good-looking, and he asked with concern:
"Lan'er, what's wrong with you? You don't look good?"
Luo Lan didn't want to hide it from him. She frowned at him and asked with doubts:
"The emperor has announced that I will come to the palace to meet you. What do you think can happen?"
Hearing this, Leng Yu's face, which had been clear just now, was suddenly filled with darkness. He raised his eyes and looked at Luo Lan, pursed his lips and frowned:
"My father is the person I respect the most. He has always been fair and strict. He should not make things difficult for you, but there is no guarantee that the people around him will not slander you behind your back, so you have to be careful."
Luo Lan sat on the edge of the bed, held his hand, smiled and nodded,
"I feel relieved when you say this. As long as the emperor understands justice and is reasonable, what can others do to me?"
"You should take Ah Cai and Ah Hong with you. Don't go into the palace alone. I'm not worried."
Suddenly there was a bit of worry in his eyes, and he held her hand in his hand, the worry deep in his eyes clearly visible.
Luo Lan looked at him and smiled softly,
"Don't worry! I can even save you, a dying person, so what else can trouble me? If I can't come back in time at noon, I will ask Ah Hou and A Yu to bring you food. What's wrong with you now?"
It looks like you can meet people now."
"No."
Leng Yu shook his head heavily, "If you don't come back, I won't eat or drink, and I won't see anyone."
His attitude was resolute, Luo Lan could only helplessly pinch the tip of his nose and curse,
"You! Why are you so willful like a child? If I come back late, will you be hungry?"
"If I can't see you, I won't be hungry,"
Luo Lan knew that he was a disobedient person, so she could only nod helplessly.
"Okay then! I'll try to be back before lunch. If you're tired, just lie down and take a nap."
After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave when he stopped her.
"Lan'er, wait..."
She looked at him sideways, "What's wrong?"
He looked at her with gentle, watery eyes and said softly:
"Go early and come back early..."
He wanted to tell her that he couldn't live without her now, not even for a moment.
But he didn't say it, he didn't want to put pressure on her.
Luo Lan pursed her lips and smiled. She blinked her crystal eyes and looked at him, comforting him gently.
"I understand. I just entered the palace. You made me feel like I was separated from you. I will definitely come back as soon as possible."
Her smile made him feel at ease, but also made him uneasy.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, he was as deep as the sea. Over the years, many people in the palace had died inexplicably. He believed that his father would not harm her, but he could not guarantee that those who wanted to harm him would not blame her.
Before leaving the house, Luo Lan took A Hong and A Cai with him, and asked A Hou and A Yu to take turns guarding Leng Yu's door in case he couldn't find anyone if something happened.
The carriage in the palace stopped at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion. After getting on the carriage, A Hong and A Cai seemed a little excited and chattered all the way.
A Cai murmured excitedly,
"Princess, this is our first time entering the palace. I wonder if we can see the emperor. I heard that the palace is very nice."
Ah Hong hummed at her and then said:
"Don't think so highly of the palace. Don't talk nonsense when the time comes. If you say the wrong thing, you could easily be beheaded."
Hearing this, A Cai frowned and looked at Luo Lan, and asked a little worriedly:
"Princess, is this really the case?"
Luo Lan pursed his lips and shook his head, "This is also my first time entering the palace. I don't know the rules in the palace, but if you don't talk nonsense, there will be nothing wrong."
Ah Cai stuck out her tongue, not daring to speak any more.
Their carriage soon stopped at the entrance of the palace. A Cai and A Hong got out of the car and opened the sedan curtain door. Luo Lan took a deep breath. She was still a little uneasy about the unknown things.
After getting off the carriage, Eunuch Liu went first, swinging his fly whisk, followed by Luo Lan, A Hong and A Cai, followed closely by a group of young eunuchs.
As he walked, Eunuch Liu told him: "The palace is no better than the outside. You are not allowed to talk nonsense or move around. When you meet the emperor, after you have saluted, you are not allowed to speak without asking. You are not allowed to look directly at the emperor, and you are not allowed to look around."
Disrespectful to the Emperor..."
Half of Eunuch Liu's words fell into Luo Lan's ears, and the other half drifted away in the wind.
Because Luo Lan was looking at this splendid palace while walking. It looked so noble and elegant, but the people walking here were all expressionless. Occasionally, he saw a woman who looked like the master, and she was also walking in a hurry, without any trace of calmness.
Word.
Luo Lan couldn't help but think, no wonder Concubine Chang treated Leng Yu like that. It turned out that she was trained to be a ruthless person in the palace.
After walking for a while, Eunuch Liu took her to stop at the door of the royal study, and then asked her to wait outside while he went in to inform her.
After a while, Eunuch Liu came out. She said to A Cai and A Hong:
"You guys wait outside, Princess Yu will go in by herself."
Luo Lan turned around and nodded to A Hong and A Cai, motioning them to wait outside. She walked into the door of the imperial study alone.
According to the instructions of Eunuch Liu, after entering the door, passing through the main hall and crossing a screen, it is the place where the emperor handles state affairs.
She walked through the screen and saw a man sitting behind Long An who was dressed exactly like the emperor in the TV series. She took two steps forward, knelt down on her knees, and whispered:
"Princess Yu, Shui Luolan, sends her greetings to the Emperor. May the Emperor be blessed."
The emperor raised his head when he heard her words, half-closed his eyes and said kindly:
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
She stood up, bowed her head, and followed Eunuch Liu's instructions, waiting quietly for the emperor to speak.
After a moment of silence, the emperor spoke:
"Keep your head up."
Luo Lan took a deep breath and slowly raised her head. Eunuch Liu told her not to look at the emperor, so she turned her eyes to the dragon robe worn by the emperor. It was really a workmanship made of fine silk and satin.
Well-made clothes must also feel good!
Just when she was thinking a lot, the emperor suddenly said:
Chapter completed!
