Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Luo Lan's eyes suddenly darkened, and she looked at A Cai and A Hong with a solemn expression.

"This lost champion is An An pretending to be. "

"what?"

Ah Cai and Ah Hong looked at her with disbelief, and Ah Cai couldn't wait to ask,

"Mother, did you say that An An pretended to be a scholar named Ling to take the imperial examination?"

Luo Lan sighed and nodded.

Ah Hong covered her mouth with fear in her eyes,

"This...isn't this a crime of deceiving the emperor? Since ancient times, I have never heard of a woman taking the imperial examination? And she pretended to be a man. How...how could this happen?"

A Cai also said anxiously:

"Yes, this is something serious. If the civil and military officials know about this, they will definitely think that you have the Emperor's acquiescence. It will cause a quarrel. Madam, this... what should we do?"

Seeing the two girls jumping up and down in anxiety, Luo Lan frowned and scolded in a low voice:

"I asked you two to give me advice, not to create problems and cause panic here."

Hearing her tone of voice, A Cai and A Hong tightened their mouths and apologized to her.

"Mom, please calm down, we are quick to talk for a while."

"That's all, I haven't even thought of a way to do this. It's embarrassing for you two to think about it."

After saying this, she waved her hand directly,

"You guys go down!"

Ah Hong and Ah Cai looked at each other, nodded, and quietly retreated.

Luo Lan was sitting alone in the main hall of Prince Yu's Mansion, thinking about these things and having a splitting headache.

This matter is not a trivial matter. If it is not handled well, others will suspect that An An did it with Leng Yu's connivance.

So at the moment, it is most important to clarify the relationship between the number one scholar and the emperor.

Thinking of this, she called outside,

"Someone is coming..."

Ah Hong and Ah Cai, who had not gone far, walked in quickly.

"My lady..."

"You two go and make arrangements so that the new No. 1 Scholar refuses to show up and his identity remains a mystery. The Emperor is very worried about this. Prince Ming is searching all over the world like crazy to make this known to everyone. "

"Your Majesty, the Emperor asked Prince Ming and others to secretly investigate this matter. What if everyone knows about it and the Emperor blames it?"

"If you don't want others to suspect that this matter is related to the emperor, you can only do this."

"But will the emperor blame Prince Ming for not doing things well? He can't even keep this little secret?"

Luo Lan nodded helplessly,

"Yes, of course now, not when he knows the truth."

After saying this, she waved her hands to the two of them.

"Go do it!"

"Then will you go to the meeting with Mr. Ling tomorrow?"

Luo Lan frowned and looked at Ah Hong who asked this question.

"Why not go?"

Ah Hong responded quickly,

"I mean, will An'an's matter affect your mood? Do you want to reject it?"

Luo Lan's eyes were covered with mist, and he shook his head slowly.

"You can't push it. An'an's affairs are family affairs, and Ling Gongzi's affairs are state affairs. I still know the importance of family affairs and state affairs."

"Yes."

After hearing this, Ah Hong and Ah Cai secretly admired her for being calm enough in times of trouble, but at the same time, they were a little more worried about An An.

……

next morning

In just one day and one night, the news of the mysterious disappearance of the new top scholar spread in the streets and alleys of the capital, and everyone was full of curiosity about this man named Ling An.

For this reason, Leng Yu was furious. He told Leng Ming to go to the palace immediately to see him. Leng Ming was afraid that he would not be able to explain to the emperor if he went to the palace, so he made an excuse to find out who the news came from and did not enter the palace.

Luo Lan had ordered Shunyi Tea House to be reserved early, and she also came here before You hour as agreed, waiting for Mr. Ling to arrive as promised.

Ling Feng was also punctual, and A Cai, who was guarding the door, recognized him coming here with a boy from a distance, and she quickly informed Luo Lan of the news.

When he came in, Ah Hong greeted him.

"Is this Mr. Ling?"

"Exactly. Who is the person who asked me to meet here?"

"Master Ling, please come upstairs."

After Ling Feng nodded, he was about to go upstairs when A Hong reminded:

"Master Ling can go up alone."

He hesitated for a moment, turned around and told the boy:

"Wait for me here. "

"Yes."

After the boy took the order, he stood there and Ling Feng went upstairs according to Ah Hong's instructions and went directly to the room where Luo Lan was.

At the door, Ah Hong knocked lightly on the door.

"Miss, Mr. Ling is here."

"Come in."

Ah Hong stepped forward and pushed the door open. After making an inviting gesture to Ling Feng, he stepped in.

Luo Lan wore an off-white dress this time, and her face was still covered with white gauze.

Ling Feng looked at her back and asked in confusion,

"I'm Ling Feng. I'm a stranger to the girl. I wonder why she invited me here?"

Luo Lan looked back at Mr. Ling in front of him, nodded and smiled softly, then spoke slowly,

"After more than a month of absence, Master Ling doesn't recognize Lan Meng?"

As soon as she said this, Ling Feng looked at her with disbelief.

"You...you are Miss Lanmeng? Are you really Miss Lanmeng? You...why did you come to the capital?"

Obviously, Ling Feng was already so excited that he could not speak coherently when he saw the girl from Lan Meng and heard the voice that had haunted him for many days.

Luo Lan nodded with a smile in his eyes, then stretched out his hand to signal,

"Master Ling, please sit down."

Ling Feng was still immersed in the joy of meeting Miss Lan Meng in the capital, so he was naturally happy to follow her instructions and sit down, and Luo Lan immediately sat opposite him.

He looked at Luo Lan and nodded excitedly,

"Let me tell you, where did I find my old friend here? I didn't expect that the person who asked me to meet would be Miss Lan Meng. I never thought that I would be lucky enough to meet Miss Lan Meng again in this life. But, you... Why...why are you here?"

Hearing him ask this, Luo Lan sighed softly and spoke slowly,

"Something happened in Yilan County. Sister Feng died and Xiangyue Tower was sealed. I had nowhere to go, so I came here to seek refuge with my relatives."

"Sister Feng is dead?"

Ling Feng, who has been running around on the road, obviously doesn't know about this yet.

He looked at Luo Lan with surprise.

"What happened in Yilan County?"

Luo Lan looked up at him and replied calmly:

"When you were in Yilan County, the emperor was actually there, but he was secretly investigating the mine incognito. He also found out that all the gold mines produced in Fengjie's mine were sold to people from Dongyang Kingdom, so Long Yan Furious, he ordered the mine to be sealed, and ordered that all the gold sold to Dongyang Kingdom be recovered, and all of Sister Feng’s properties were seized, including the Xiangyue Tower."

Hearing this, Ling Feng's brows tightened instantly, and Luo Lan followed the trend and asked,

"I remember Mr. Ling told me when I was in Yilan County that you are from Dongyang Kingdom. I was wondering if your business would be affected by this. So after I came to the capital, I went to Prince Yu's Mansion as soon as possible. , when I learned that the letter you sent for me had not yet been delivered, I asked the people from Prince Yu’s Mansion to tell you that if I see you, tell me, I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon. "

When mentioning this matter, Luo Lan spoke lightly, but Ling Feng's face turned livid at this moment.

He didn't hear what Luo Lan said later. He only heard that the mine in Yilan County was investigated, and the gold sold to Dongyang Country was also investigated...

"Master Ling, what are you thinking about?"
