"Eunuch Liu, listen to me. Although this injury is nothing, it still needs to be taken care of. I am here today to tell you that something big may happen in the palace in the past few days. You must be prepared. If not,

Don't move until you have to."

Luo Lan's words made Liu Xi's face suddenly turn livid. He breathed heavily and nodded angrily.

"I knew something would happen as soon as Prince Yu left. I will go to General Liu now and ask him to send troops to protect the emperor."

"Eunuch Liu, don't be anxious."

Luo Lan raised his hand to stop Liu Xi who was about to stand up again.

"Everything will be arranged by itself. Just take care of your injuries. Your Majesty, I will take care of it."

"Princess Yu..."

Liu Xi wanted to say something more, but looking at Luo Lan's firm eyes, he had already guessed something in his heart, so he nodded,

"I believe that after the emperor wakes up this time, he will not treat you and Prince Yu the same way as before. The affairs of the treasury and the affairs of the victims are all handled by Prince Yu alone. The emperor's injuries are all dependent on you. If these few days

Without the support of you two, the Great Ning Kingdom would have been in chaos long ago. You two are the heroes of the Great Ning Kingdom."

Luo Lan chuckled softly, "Eunuch Liu, you are too generous. My husband and I are just doing what we should do. It is the envy of others that the emperor has such a loyal servant like you."

"The fate between the old slave and the emperor is unclear. The emperor has a changeable temperament and is moody. Ordinary people cannot serve him. Maybe only I can serve him!"

When he said these words, Liu Xi seemed to have thought of something, and there was a look of resentment in his eyes.

Luo Lan also felt that what he said made sense. A person with such a changeable personality like the emperor was really not something that ordinary people could serve. That is to say, only a thoughtful and extremely smart person like Eunuch Liu could stay by his side for so many years.

After Luo Lan came out from Liu Xina's place, she wandered alone in the imperial garden. Looking at this seemingly peaceful scene, and thinking about the contents of Leng Yu's letter just now, she suddenly felt a little melancholy.

Not far away, a woman was sitting in a pavilion, looking at the lake in a daze.

Luo Lan recognized that it was Concubine Li. She had a miscarriage some time ago because she was trying to prevent Concubine Li from becoming the queen. Now that the emperor's life and death are unknown, she must be in a bad mood.

She walked slowly to her side, bowed and saluted,

"Concubine Li, why are you so elegant and happy to sit here?"

Concubine Li was interrupted by her words. She looked around and saw her girl standing not far away. Luo Lan hurriedly explained,

"I didn't let them communicate, don't blame them."

"sit down."

Concubine Li's tone was very calm.

Luo Lan sat down opposite her, followed her gaze, looked at the gurgling stream, and said softly:

"Don't you want to ask me about the Emperor?"

"Can you say it?"

"No, I heard that you, Concubine Li and some empresses came to the Yangxin Hall to kneel before the Foreign Minister?"

"Ha! What's the use of that? It's just for show."

Luo Lan didn't expect that she would answer without hiding anything.

The two of them were silent for a while, and Luo Lan couldn't help but ask again:

"The child is gone, do you regret it?"

Concubine Li looked back at her, shaking her head with a smile on her face.

"I don't regret it. I knew earlier that this child would not come into this world in peace. It would be better for her to find a good family and be reincarnated as soon as possible. Anyway, this is the end of my life for this noble concubine."

Her words surprised Luo Lan, "Why do you say that?"

"Everyone knows that the emperor is seriously ill this time and may not die soon. When he dies, we concubines who have no heirs and were favored by the emperor will have to be buried with him. We have no choice but to die."

No wonder she was in such a bad mood, she had such pessimistic thoughts.

The women in this palace are pitiful enough to think about it. They have to marry a man who is who knows how many years older than themselves. When this man dies, he has to be buried with her. This is really a terrible vicious cycle.

Luo Lan sighed and comforted softly:

"Don't be too pessimistic. Maybe the truth is not as serious as you think."

"Oh, I suddenly regretted why I fought so hard to climb onto the emperor's dragon bed. It's great that I can still be that unknown showgirl. Maybe, I will have a chance to leave the palace and see my family again.

"

At this point, she suddenly covered her face and started crying.

Luo Lan didn't expect that her mood would be so bad. It seemed that the tire slide incident had a great impact on her. To be more precise, did she suffer from what modern people call postpartum depression?

Thinking of this, Luo Lan took a breath and comforted softly:

"Your Majesty will be fine, don't worry."

"Really?"

Concubine Li suddenly looked at Luo Lan and asked as if grasping a life-saving straw,

"Will the Emperor really be okay?"

Luo Lan nodded and comforted again:

"Women not only live for men, but also live for themselves. If you are so pessimistic, there will be no sunshine in your life. I hope you can be happier."

Concubine Li seemed to have not heard her words. She stood up alone and murmured,

"I'd better go back and freshen up. The emperor won't like the way I look now."

Her state made Luo Lan a little worried, but what could be done? Everyone has their own way to go. She already had enough to do, so how could she bother to care about others? She could only

I prayed secretly in my heart, hoping that Concubine Li would be able to seek happiness for herself.

As night fell, Leng Yu and his party rode horses and carts to carry the money. They had already put a long distance away from the victims on foot. Seeing the sky darkening, Xiao Lingzi rode forward and walked alongside him.

"Your Majesty, please find a place to stay in front of us!"

Leng Yu nodded, "Okay, arrange for the brothers to set up camp here..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned alertly, and after winking at Xiao Lingzi, he turned over and dismounted as if no one was watching.

At this moment, there was a whoosh and an arrow flew out from not far away.

Leng Yu, who had already noticed it, caught the arrow quickly with his eyes and hands, and then Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi led the people to quickly search for the direction of the arrow.

Leng Yu looked at the arrow in his hand, with a disdainful smile on his face, and then murmured,

"What was supposed to come has come."

At this time, another arrow flew out from another direction, and Ayu beside Leng Yu hurriedly reminded,

"My lord, be careful..."

Leng Yu's eyebrows were cold, and he immediately dodged the arrow and flew away in the direction of the arrow.

The other party may have seen him coming in person, so he only ran a few symbolic steps into the woods, then turned a corner, stopped, faced him, and said in a cold voice:

"Prince Yu, either you die today or I die."

The face of the person in front of him was covered with black cloth, and only a pair of sinister eyes were exposed. Leng Yu looked at him, raised a long sword in his hand, and asked loudly:

"Who sent you?"

"Go to the King of Hell and ask."

After leaving these words that a killer would say before taking action, the man in black flew over and fought with Leng Yu.

On the other side, Xiao Lingzi and others did not find anyone, so they returned to their original place. When they learned that Leng Yu had gone to another direction to look for someone, they quickly followed him.

The reason why Leng Yu took action personally was to find out who wanted to kill him. The person he suspected the most was Leng Xi, but he didn't want to believe it was Leng Xi, so he wanted to confirm it himself.
