Concubine Li's words made the emperor stop when he was about to leave the house.

He looked back at her, paused word by word and replied calmly:

"What did you just say?"

Seeing that the emperor was very concerned about this matter, Concubine Li was overjoyed, she hurriedly stepped forward, leaned back and replied:

"The concubine said that there are two Chu people living in this Prince Yu's mansion, and there may be people from the Chu palace."

"how do you know?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Li suspiciously, frowned and continued to ask:

"What evidence do you have? How do you know that they are from the palace of Chu State?"

Seeing the suspicious look in the emperor's eyes, Concubine Li hurriedly explained:

"Returning to the emperor, when Nanny Lu was out of the palace a few days ago, she met some officials from the military camp at the tea stand. They said privately that when Yu'er and Lan'er returned to the capital, they brought two people from the state of Chu back. Their identities are unusual, among them there is a woman who looks so similar to Princess Yu that outsiders can't tell the difference, and they stay in Prince Yu's mansion..."

Concubine Li's words made the emperor's face darken in vigilance, he paced back, sat back on the chair, and asked sternly:

"Do you have evidence for what you say?"

"Yes, Nanny Lu saw those two Chu people in the backyard just now, and one of them looks exactly like Princess Yu, and... and according to Madam Lu's inquiries, they have a similar relationship with Duke Protector Liu Dechang. Very unusual."

Hearing this, the emperor's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was a cold look between his brows.

People from the state of Chu are the filth of the country of Daning, and he will not allow a person from the country of Chu to stay in the country of Daning.

Thinking of this, he suddenly waved his hand and scolded loudly:

"Come on, call Lord Yu."

After Liu Xi took the order, he quickly went to call Leng Yu, while Concubine Li winked at the girl standing not far away, the girl nodded understandingly, and quietly retreated out.

At this time, Leng Yu and Luo Lan were lying on the bed with their clothes together, looking at the top of the bed, whispering,

Leng Yu caressed Luo Lan's hair, and said softly:

"If the emperor hadn't come, it would be rare for me to have such leisure. I could lie on the bed and take a nap with my beloved Lan'er in my arms, but I always feel a little restless in my heart, can't I fall asleep?"

"Is my husband worried about my mother and Xina? Don't worry, I have ordered A Cai and A Hong to take turns guarding the backyard. If there is any movement, we should make plans early."

"I'm afraid they won't give us time to make plans! No, I'd better go and have a look."

While talking, he was about to sit up, but Luo Lan hurriedly grabbed him,

"Sister, you also said that it's rare to have a chance to lie down for a while, so don't worry about it, I'll go and have a look later."

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it. Mother and Xina don't stay out of the house. Everyone in our house keeps their mouths shut. There won't be any problems. Don't worry."

Of course Leng Yu didn't want to have any problems, he nodded and lay down again, "Okay, tomorrow the emperor will take Concubine Li Gui and Concubine Li out of the city to enjoy the lotus, then you can find a way to put them in a safe place, wait until The emperor and the others will be fine if they leave, I am really worried that Concubine Li has other plans for her visit this time..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"My lord, the emperor sent you to go there."

It was Ah Gang's voice, Leng Yu's brows tightened in an instant, Luo Lan followed him and sat up vigilantly,

"Sir, we just came back from the emperor, and now he sent you over again, why don't you go to bed at noon? There must be something wrong."

Leng Yu got off the ground to put on his shoes, and at the same time instructed:

"Hurry up and go to the backyard and settle your mother and Xina properly. Don't be discovered at this time, or you and your father will be implicated."

After Leng Yu said this, Luo Lan also felt that something was wrong, she hurriedly got out of bed, and after Leng Yu left, she pulled off her coat and went straight to the backyard.

As soon as she arrived in the backyard, the girl Cai Die greeted her,

"Princess, my servant just heard in the front yard that Concubine Li told the emperor that there are two Chu people living in our house, what do you think we should do about this?"

Cai Die's words made Luo Lan's expression tense instantly, she frowned and waved her hands,

"I see. Now go to the corridor to see if the emperor and the others are coming this way. Remember to notify me at any time."

After Caidie took the order, she quickly walked towards the corridor, and Luo Lan rushed to Xina and Xiaoling's room in a hurry.

As soon as she entered the backyard, A Cai and A Hong greeted her together. A Hong looked not far away, blinked a few times, and reminded in a low voice:

"Princess, over there... are the people in the palace, who seem to be around Concubine Li. They are staring at the room of Madam and Second Miss. What should I do?"

Luo Lan followed Ah Hong's gaze, and sure enough, she saw two people standing under the eaves not far away, with their hands down, their eyes glanced at the room where Xina and Mother were from time to time.

Her waterfall-like eyes flashed with eagle-like sharp eyes, and then she whispered to A Cai and A Hong:

"You guys are staring here, I'm going to see Niang and Xina..."

After saying this, she raised her foot and walked towards the room where Xina and Mother were.

Although the two of them were in two rooms, they only walked through one main entrance. To be more precise, the two of them lived in one suite, so that they could talk to each other in their spare time, so as not to be bored.

When Leng Yu rushed to the main hall, seeing the emperor sitting there with an ugly face, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:

"Father, what's the important thing for you to call your son here?"

The emperor's face was ashen, with the corners of his mouth trembling, he asked loudly angrily:

"I heard that there are two Chu people living in your Prince Yu's mansion? Is there such a thing?"

As soon as he said these words, Leng Yu's heart twitched suddenly.

It seems that he guessed right, the royal father knew about Xina and Niang Xina.

He hurriedly bowed his body and clasped his fists, denying:

"I don't understand what my father said. How could there be Chu people in this palace of Prince Yu? Who do you listen to behind the scenes?"

Seeing that he didn't want to admit it, Concubine Li snorted softly with her sinister eyes shining, the corners of her mouth raised,

"Arrangement? Yu'er, how can you talk like that? I told the emperor this. I did this for your own good. You are also the general protecting the country of Daning Kingdom. Daning Kingdom is under one person and above ten thousand people. Dear Prince Yu, although the emperor took your crown prince position because you made a big mistake, he didn’t punish you. Why don’t you feel grateful? Do you still want to keep the Chu people in Prince Yu’s mansion? I just persuaded the emperor Don't be overwhelmed, if you keep the Chu people in the palace, you will definitely not want to join forces with the Chu people, it's just a moment of confusion."

Her seemingly kind remarks undoubtedly made the situation worse, and the emperor's face became even more gloomy as a result.

He looked at Leng Yu, clenched his fists, and asked word by word:

"Is there any Chu people in your Prince Yu's mansion?"

Without thinking, Leng Yu raised her voice and replied:

"No, my son, there are no Chu people in this Prince Yu's mansion, please learn from my father."

Seeing that he still didn't admit it, Li Fei snorted coldly, leaned over and said:

"Your Majesty, since Yu'er refuses to admit it, she must have been kept in the dark and didn't know about it. Why don't I let my concubine take you to see it for yourself, and the truth will come to light."

Regarding Concubine Li's proposal, the emperor nodded after thinking for a while,

"Okay, I'm not the emperor who is just like the cloud, Concubine Li, lead the way, I want to see if there are any Chu people in your Prince Yu's mansion."
