"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 will happen in the palace these few days. You have to be prepared. When you have to, don't move around."

Luo Lan's words made Liu Xi's face suddenly turn livid, he panted heavily, nodded angrily,

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

"Eunuch Liu, don't worry."

Luo Lan raised her hand to stop Liu Xi who was about to stand up again,

"Everything is arranged by yourself. You just need to take care of your injury. Your Majesty, I will take care of it."

"Princess Yu..."

Liu Xi wanted to say something more, but seeing 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 no longer treat you and Prince Yu as before. The affairs of the treasury and the victims of the disaster are all handled by Prince Yu alone, and the emperor's injury depends entirely on you. Without you two supporting the sky, this Da Ning country would have been messed up long ago, you two are the heroes of Da Ning country."

Luo Lan smiled lightly, "Eunuch Liu has won the award. My husband and I are just doing what we should do. It is the envy of others that the emperor has a loyal servant like you."

"The fate between the old slave and the emperor is hard to tell. The emperor has a changeable temperament and is moody. Ordinary people can't serve him in front of him. Maybe only I can serve him!"

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

Luo Lan also felt that what he said made sense. A person with a changeable personality like the emperor is really not something that ordinary people can serve. Only a thoughtful and intelligent person like Eunuch Liu can stay by his side for so many years. !

After Luo Lan came out from Liu Xi's house, she wandered around the imperial garden alone, looking at this seemingly peaceful scene, and thinking of the contents of Leng Yu's letter just now, her heart suddenly became a little more melancholy.

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

Luo Lan could recognize that it was Concubine Li Gui. She had a miscarriage earlier because she prevented Concubine Li from being crowned empress. 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 Gui, why are you sitting here in such a good mood?"

Concubine Li Gui 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 pass it on, don't blame them."

"sit down."

Li Guifei'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 Hall of Mental Cultivation to kneel down?"

"Oh! What's the use of that, it's just a show."

Luo Lan didn't expect that she would answer without any concealment.

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

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

Concubine Li Gui looked back at her, shaking her head with a smile on her lips,

"I don't regret it. I knew that this child would not come to this world in peace. It's better to let her find a good family to reincarnate earlier. Anyway, I, the imperial concubine, have done it well."

What she said surprised Luo Lan, "Why do you say that?"

"Everyone knows that the emperor is seriously ill this time, and he may die soon. After his death, we concubines who have no heirs and have been favored by the emperor will go to be buried with him. We have no choice but to die."

No wonder she was in such a bad mood, it turned out that she had such pessimistic thoughts.

The women in this palace are pitiful enough to think about it. If you want to marry a man who is not sure how many years older than you, this man will die and have to be buried with him. This is really a terrible vicious cycle.

Luo Lan sighed and comforted softly:

"Don't be too pessimistic, maybe the facts are not as serious as you think."

"Oh, I suddenly regretted it. Why did I desperately climb onto the emperor's dragon bed? It's good that I'm still that unknown show girl. Maybe I'll have a chance to leave the palace and see my family again. "

Speaking of this, she suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.

Luo Lan didn't expect that her mood would be so bad. It seems that this tire slipping 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:

"The emperor will be fine, don't worry."

"really?"

Concubine Li Gui suddenly looked at Luo Lan, and asked as if she had caught a life-saving straw,

"Will the emperor really be okay?"

Luo Lan nodded, comforting 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 Gui stood up alone as if she didn't hear her, muttering,

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

Luo Lan was a little worried about her state, but what could be done?Everyone has their own way to go, and she has enough of her own affairs, so how can she care about others?She could only pray secretly in her heart, hoping that Concubine Li Gui would be able to seek good fortune for herself.

As night fell, Leng Yu and his team drove forward with silver on horseback. They had already separated a long distance from the walking victims. Seeing the sky darken, Xiao Lingzi rode forward and walked alongside him

"My lord, find a place to live in front!"

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

As soon as he finished speaking, he frowned vigilantly, and after winking with Xiao Lingzi, he got off his horse as if no one else was there.

At this moment, with a whoosh, an arrow flew out from not far away.

Leng Yu, who had already noticed it, quickly caught the arrow, and then Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi led people to quickly search for the arrow's direction.

On Leng Yu's side, looking at the arrow in his hand, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he murmured,

"It's time to come, it's still here."

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

"My lord, be careful..."

Leng Yu's brows and eyes were icy cold, and after dodging the arrow, he flew towards the direction the arrow came from.

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, today either you die or I die."

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

"Who sent you here?"

"Go to Hades and ask."

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

On the other side, Xiao Lingzi and the others returned to the original place without finding anyone. When they learned that Leng Yu had gone to another direction to look for someone, they hurriedly followed.

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

Just when the two of them were fighting fiercely, another man in black rushed over and fought with Leng Yu,
