Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Luo Lan answered without hesitation:

"I want An'an to go back and stay with her."

"how is she?"

"It's good. By the way, I have something to tell you. Huaiyu...is gone."

"Gone? Where did you go?"

"Probably he went to Ducheng. I don't know the details, but he mentioned in the letter that he asked me to say sorry to you. He said that he had done many wrong things during this period and felt ashamed of you and me, so, Let me apologize for him and you."

Hearing this, Leng Yu's eyes flashed with an indescribable look.

In these years, because of Leng Yun, he has never treated Huaiyu as his own child, and he has always been cold and indifferent to him.

During this period, he did do many wrong things, which resulted in the murder of Little Shuangzi and the injury of Little Lingzi, who has not recovered yet. However, he already knew his mistakes and could change them. Should he blame him again?

What's more, this time, if he hadn't reported the news in advance and eradicated the Beihai national spy living in Qingfeng Inn in time, they would have been defeated by the opponent before they could wait for reinforcements to arrive. In this way, he could be considered to have made a great contribution.

Now that he was gone and he was left with a word of apology, he suddenly felt that he felt a little sorry for that child over the years.

He sighed and shook his head,

"Pay more attention to his situation and don't let him go astray again. If necessary, you can go to Ducheng to pick him up."

Hearing what Leng Yu said, Luo Lan knew that his dislike for Huaiyu had diminished a lot.

She nodded, "I see."

Seeing her cold attitude towards him, he couldn't help but ask:

"What are you going to do about An'an?"

Luo Lan had long expected that he would mention this matter, so she simply looked at him directly and replied frankly:

"Let An An decide this matter by herself. She has the right to decide."

"However, I plan to wait until Leng Xi recovers and give him a city so that he can stay away from the capital and establish himself as king."

His words surprised Luo Lan.

"Do you also want to treat him like the late emperor treated Leng Zian?"

"What's wrong with this?"

"No."

Luo Lan shook his head,

"I won't care about the court's affairs, and I won't ask questions. If you want to say something, you can say it. If you don't want to say it, I won't listen."

"Are you blaming me?"

"I don't dare. You are the emperor, and I took the position of queen through your name. How can I dare to blame you?"

"You are still blaming me..."

"I said, I don't dare. No, I should call myself my concubine. I don't dare to blame the emperor. Regarding An'an, I feel sorry for the emperor. After the late emperor is buried tomorrow, I will ask for an order. Please ask your Majesty to impose punishment on this matter."

Leng Yu knew that she was talking angrily to him. She was also very hard during this period.

He immediately stepped forward, took her hand, and said affectionately:

"Lan'er, go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow. You will definitely be very tired."

Luo Lan took her hand away from his and nodded.

"Well, please also ask Your Majesty to move to the Nourishing Heart Hall to rest."

He originally wanted to stay in Fengyi Palace and talk to her, but she turned him away directly.

He nodded helplessly, turned around, and strode away.

His back looked very lonely, which made her feel very distressed.

She suddenly wanted to step forward and ask him to stay. She also had many things to say to him.

But thinking that his identity was completely different from before, she immediately shook her head and denied her thoughts.

……

Twenty of the first month

On the morning of the burial of the Supreme Emperor, all civil and military officials came outside the main hall and waited quietly to see the Supreme Emperor off.

Leng Yu took the lead, and Leng Ming, Lele, and members of the royal family and court ministers came forward to kowtow to the late emperor and express their condolences.

After everyone had finished mourning, some monks who were performing rituals came forward and shouted:

"Awakening..."

Suddenly, the sound of wailing, coupled with the chanting of monks and Taoists, echoed over the palace and reached everyone's ears...

Leng Yu took Leng Ming, Lele, Yu Er, and a group of court ministers to the imperial mausoleum for the funeral, leaving Liu Dechang to guard the capital.

Based on the round trip distance and the auspicious date of burial, he would be back in at least five days.

As the mourners slowly left, the palace suddenly became peaceful. Luo Lan arranged for the people in the palace to start cleaning up the Shoutong Palace. She came alone to an attic not far from Fengyi Palace.

Walking along here, you can overlook the entire palace.

This is the place where emperors and their concubines of all dynasties have come to enjoy the cool weather. No one else is allowed to come up except the maids and eunuchs who usually need to clean up here.

Luo Lan stood here, facing the wind, looking at the huge palace, but he felt empty in his heart.

When she first entered Prince Yu's Mansion, although her life was miserable, she and Leng Yu were able to enjoy the hardship.

Now, Leng Yu has ascended to the most noble position in Daning Kingdom, and she has become the queen respected by thousands of people, but she cannot be happy because they can never go back to the past.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li is looking for you."

A Cai's words broke Luo Lan's thoughts. She turned around and saw Concubine Li walking towards her with the support of the girl.

She went over and bowed,

"Princess Li."

Concubine Li curled her lips rather disdainfully,

"How dare you ask the Queen to salute the Ai family? It is really a disgrace to the Ai family."

Luo Lan didn't want to argue with her, so he simply frowned and looked at her.

"What does Concubine Li have to do with me?"

"The Ai family is here to say goodbye to the Queen. There is no place for the Ai family in this palace. The Ai family should no longer stay here and become a nuisance."

"What are you talking about, Princess Li? Those concubines who have no heirs were all sent to temples to become nuns. You have a prince at your knees, so you can be named a princess. Letting you go to Prince Xi's Mansion is the last wish of the late emperor." , is also the best destination for you. What’s the point of you speaking so bitterly?”

Concubine Li turned around, looked at the empty palace, and secretly mocked:

"The Ai family has been waiting for this position of queen for decades, but in the end they never got the chance to take it. But now you get it without any effort. There are really too many injustices in this world..."

"What Concubine Li said is wrong. This is not fair or unfair at all. This is God's will. God knows that if Leng Yu takes the position of emperor, the people can live in peace. I, Liu Luolan, take the position of queen. , we can honor the world as our mother. Therefore, we have to sit in this position even if we don’t want to. It is only for the benefit of all the people in the world. As for you repeatedly asking for it but not getting it, it only means that you are not suitable for this position. Your personal interests have been exhausted, and now that you think about it, it’s all in vain. Have you never regretted it?”

"you……"

Concubine Li knew clearly that Luo Lan's words were meant to ridicule her, but because of her status, she held back and did not dare to explode.

She immediately raised her veil, covered her mouth and smiled softly,

"The Queen is really good at joking. Ai Jia has been doing her duty in the harem to take care of the harem and share the worries of the late emperor. How can there be such a thing as saying that all the organs are gone? Now that the late emperor is gone, you are the master of the harem. What do you say, Ai Jia? I don’t dare to stop it, the Ai family can’t say it, so why don’t we leave? Queen, please take care of yourself!”

"Taifei Li, walk slowly."

Luo Lan looked at her, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

This Concubine Li, after Concubine Chang was relegated to the cold palace, she began to make waves in the harem and dominated the harem for many years. Now she was sent to Prince Xi's Mansion, which was considered a good placement, but she was unwilling to accept it. Luo Lan secretly thought in her heart Pray that after she returns to Prince Xi's Mansion, she will stop making trouble and not embarrass Qiao Qiao.
