Chapter 244 Face it calmly
Three days later, Prince Yu's Mansion.
This time the interrogation of Luo Lan was quite standard. Following the emperor's order, all the civil and military ministers from the DPRK and China came to Prince Yu's Mansion to personally participate in the royal interrogation of Princess Yu's identity.
The remaining light of the early morning shone into the room, and Luo Lan was sitting in front of Ming'er's bed, cleaning his wounds.
After a few days of recovery, Ming'er's complexion improved a lot.
He looked at Luo Lan, pursed his lips, and couldn't help but say:
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I've caused trouble for you."
"It's not your fault."
Luo Lan wrapped up his wound and chuckled:
"Even if you are not injured, my matter will be a sticking point sooner or later unless it is resolved."
"What should we do? They won't make things difficult for you, right?"
"It's okay. Your fourth brother and I will take care of this matter. You can recover in peace and don't worry about me."
Ming'er pursed her lips and said aggrievedly:
"I begged my mother-in-law to stop embarrassing you, but she told me a lot of truths that she thought were right. I don't know how to help you, I'm sorry."
"I'll take care of it."
After she arranged his clothes, she gave him a relaxed smile and then said:
"Don't worry! When you recover from your injury, I will teach you how to play chess and write."
As soon as she finished speaking, A Cai came to report.
"Princess, the emperor called you over in the front hall. Many court ministers have come."
Luo Lan raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded slowly and said:
"I know, let's go."
After saying that, she nodded to Ming'er and walked towards the front hall with a solemn expression.
At this time, the main hall of Prince Yu's Mansion was extremely lively. The emperor was sitting at the head, with Concubine Chang and Concubine Li sitting on both sides. Sitting on two sides of the hall were Liu Dechang, Wu Yuanzhang, Wu Hong, Yu Shiming, Leng.
Xi, and several important officials in the court.
As soon as Luo Lan arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Leng Yu came to greet her. He stepped forward and took her hand, and softly comforted her:
"Lan'er, don't worry, everything has been arranged."
Luo Lan twitched the corner of her mouth and nodded with a smile. The moment she raised her eyebrows, she met his affectionate eyes. Those eyes made her feel at ease.
He raised his hand and brushed the hair from her forehead, then took her hand and walked towards the main hall.
At this time, the emperor's face was bright as he looked at Luo Lan and Leng Yu who came in. Seeing their hands tightly held together, his brows tightened even more.
Always suspicious, he still couldn't figure out why Yu'er was confused by such an unknown woman. In the eyes of his emperor, power and status were above all else, and emotions were just the lowest things.
Luo Lan came in front of everyone, bowed slightly and saluted, "Blessed is your Majesty, and blessed are you two queens."
A proud and evil smile appeared on Concubine Chang's face. Although Concubine Li's face was calm, she also felt a little secretly happy in her heart.
Because she saw that Leng Yu's hand had been holding Luo Lan tightly. As long as she used this opportunity to eradicate Luo Lan, Leng Yu would definitely find it difficult to accept and would definitely fall out with the emperor. Then she would take the opportunity to blow her pillow.
Feng, isn't that Xi'er the one most likely to be reused among these princes?
Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a sly smile.
The emperor glanced at Luo Lan, nodded slightly, and said solemnly:
"Yu'er, I've given you three days, can you verify her true identity?"
Leng Yu tightened the corners of his mouth, cupped his fists and saluted:
"When I return to my father, I have already found out that Shui Luolan, Princess Yu, is indeed Shui Luolan, a daughter of the Shui family in Changliu Village. There is no doubt about her identity."
"oh?"
The emperor looked at him with doubts, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Is there any evidence?"
"have."
Leng Yu raised his eyebrows and replied confidently:
"My son invited fifty older people from Changliu Village to verify the authenticity of Luo Lan's identity."
Hearing this, Concubine Chang frowned and asked, "You invited that person. Of course, why did you say it was so? How can you prove it?"
The corners of Leng Yu's mouth raised, revealing a perfect arc, and then he raised his eyebrows and said:
"I know that the two noble concubines and the emperor will have this question, so this matter is left to General Liu and Lord Yu."
Upon seeing this, Liu Dechang quickly stood up and clasped his fists, saying:
"What Prince Yu said is absolutely true. I and Mr. Yu just went to Changliu Village today and invited fifty older villagers. Moreover, in the past three days, I sent people to patrol near Changliu Village, but no one was found.
People from Prince Yu’s Palace have entered Changliu Village."
Yu Shiming also cupped his fists and replied:
"I and General Liu were afraid of alarming the people of Changliu Village in advance, so they went to find people this morning. Prince Yu and Princess Yu have not gone to Changliu Village in the past few days, so I can guarantee that the words of these people are true."
After hearing what Yu Shiming and Liu Dechang said, the emperor nodded slightly, squinted his eyes seriously and said:
“Since people are here, let’s invite them in one by one!”
"slow."
When Concubine Chang saw that the emperor had agreed to this matter, she raised her hand to stop her with a gloomy expression, and then bowed to the emperor and said:
"I feel that asking these people to recognize Shui Luolan cannot prove the authenticity of her identity, because none of us can confirm her authenticity, let alone those old and dazzled old people."
"oh?"
Hearing what Concubine Chang said, the Emperor looked at her with interest and asked:
"What about Concubine Chang's work?"
Concubine Chang raised the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth, raising her eyebrows and saying:
"In my humble opinion, it would be better for someone to ask the names of these people outside, as well as their family background, how many people are in the family, etc., and then let Princess Yu look at each person in turn and tell them about their family background. This way
Wouldn’t it be more secure?”
When she said this, Concubine Chang raised her eyebrows lightly, as if she had already predicted that Shui Luolan would lose this game.
After listening to Concubine Chang's words, the Emperor nodded heavily, "Well, I think what Concubine Chang said is reasonable, so just follow what Concubine Chang said!"
Leng Yu's face was always gloomy. He looked at Luo Lan and saw that her face was still calm, so he asked with some concern:
"Lan'er, is this okay?"
She looked at him, raised the corners of her mouth, and nodded slightly, "Of course."
Leng Yu then felt relieved and clasped his fists at Liu Dechang and Yu Shiming:
"Since my father agrees to this move, I will trouble you two adults."
Liu Dechang nodded slightly, then waved to the people outside and called:
"General Liu, go outside and register those people, and then bring them in according to the order of registration for Princess Yu to identify."
After the people outside responded, they quickly ran away according to Liu Dechang's instructions.
After a while, someone brought in three old women. When these three people saw the emperor for the first time, they were all a little at a loss. Fortunately, when they saw Luo Lan, their moods suddenly stabilized.
One of the old ladies was about to step forward to talk to Luo Lan when she was stopped by Concubine Chang.
"Aunt Yu, let them stay away from Princess Yu, so as not to scare Princess Yu."
