Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

"Huaiyu, you are really sensible. Mom is very pleased. Don't worry. Mom said she would keep you safe and she will definitely keep you safe."

"mother……"

Huaiyu suddenly knelt down on his knees again,

"Mom, please don't be embarrassed. I will never be able to repay your kindness to me in this life. I can't cause you any more trouble. What happened this time is my fault. I took the imperial examination matter for granted. I almost got sister An An into trouble, please stop begging for mercy for me, I admit it, I really admit it, no matter how the emperor punishes me."

Luo Lan stepped forward again, helped Huaiyu up, and then took him into his arms.

This big boy, who was already half a head taller than her, seemed to have grown up in an instant.

He shyly broke away from Luo Lan's arms,

"Mom, please go back first. If you stay here for a long time, you will easily make the emperor unhappy."

"You don't even want to call me daddy?"

"No, I did this to prevent him from being in trouble. For my sake, he sent two high-ranking people, Ayu and Ahou, to look for me for so long. I feel unjust and I also feel sorry for him. Mother, don't do it for me. I ran around begging for mercy, let me bear my own fault!"

"Huaiyu..."

"You should go back, just to make me feel better."

Luo Lan stood there. She didn't know whether she should be grateful that Huaiyu had grown up, or regret that he had distanced himself from her.

But she finally chose to respect him,

"Okay, if this is what you really think, then I won't bother to beg the emperor anymore."

Without thinking, Huaiyu bowed and clasped his fists.

"Thank you so much, mother."

Luo Lan looked at him reluctantly again and then went out with a heavy heart.

She didn't look back until she reached the gate of the Shenxing Department.

Ah Cai and Ah Hong followed her, comforting her distressedly.

"My dear, Huaiyu seems to have grown up. He knows how to shoulder his responsibilities. You should be happy."

Luo Lan smiled sadly,

"I should be happy, but I'm afraid that the emperor will really be cruel to him. You all know that his father...the emperor hates his own father."

"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Your Majesty will definitely deal with it impartially. He will not take advantage of the situation to avenge private revenge."

After Ah Hong reminded her, Luo Lan also realized that she might be too impatient, so she suspected Leng Yu.

"Acai, get ready, I want to leave the palace."

"Mother, where are you going?"

"Go to the Duke's Mansion to stay for a few days."

"Empress, why are you..."

"If I stay in the palace all day, I will inevitably be thinking about Huaiyu. Going out of the palace to relax will also allow him and I to calm down."

Speaking of this, she waved her hands feebly,

"Go and tell the emperor that I will go to the Duke's Mansion to stay with my mother for a few days, and then I will return on another day."

In fact, she was the only one who understood in her heart that she did not leave the palace to accompany her mother. She did not want to see Leng Yu.

Regarding Huaiyu, she had some grudge against him in her heart. If he hadn't insisted on finding Huaiyu back, would he have been able to live peacefully in the quiet Xiangshan Temple, and there would have been no such disaster in this life? .

She admitted that she was a little petty at this time, but Huaiyu was her child. As a mother, she would be selfish if she did not consider the overall situation. She only hoped that her child would be safe and healthy.

Ning Wangfu

The whole day, Xingnan was thinking about how she would force Xiao Ningzi to question him after he came back.

So, when Xiao Ningzi came back happily carrying a bag of medicine, Xingnan directly asked someone to call him into the main hall.

He told his servants to boil the medicine in his hand, and then happily ran to the main hall.

He wanted to tell Xingnan that this prescription would definitely work.

But when he saw Xingnan with a gloomy face, he suddenly looked at her in surprise.

"Xingnan, you...what's wrong?"

The moment he came in, Xingnan felt angry.

Seeing him asking himself now, Xingnan waved his hands directly to the servants.

"Get down here, everyone."

These servants hurriedly bowed their heads and retreated. Xiao Ningzi took two steps forward even more puzzled.

"Xingnan, did something happen? What's wrong with you?"

Xingnan did not answer him, but asked directly,

"A hero saves a beauty, a beautiful night, last night, I heard that you brought a woman back? Her name is Aqin, she looks sweet, how is she compared to your wife and me? Is she better?"

Ah Qin?

Xiao Ningzi was confused.

"Which Aqin?"

"You're still pretending not to know, are you? What's your relationship with the woman you brought back last night? I finally know why you can't stand it when facing me. It turns out that you already have another woman, and now you He also brought this woman back home. Prince Ning, do you want to have three wives and four concubines? The emperor of Ning Kingdom only married one woman, the queen. You don’t want to imitate the good ones, but you want to imitate the bad ones. Well, I To fulfill your wish, we will go to the emperor now to give us a letter of peace and separation. I will leave now and go back to my Nanping Kingdom..."

Xingnan's words left Xiao Ningzi confused.

He blinked hard a few times, and then thought of the woman he brought back to the house last night. He immediately explained in a dumbfounded way,

"Xingnan, that's not the case. I don't know who that woman is, and I don't even know her. I saw how pitiful she was, so I brought her back."

"You see her as pitiful? There are so many pitiful people on the street, why do you only see her as pitiful? I see, you see how cute she looks, and you have developed a sinister heart, Xiao Ningzi, I never expected that, You, a person who usually seems quite honest, can actually do something like this. Let’s go find the Emperor and the Queen now, I want them to make this decision for me.”

After leaving these words, she was about to walk out. Xiao Ningzi hurriedly stepped forward to hold her.

"Xingnan, don't get excited, just listen to me slowly."

Xingnan shook his hand away forcefully.

"What do you want to say? You want to say that you have nothing to do with that woman? Then what happened when you brought her back drunk in the middle of the night? You also placed her in the guest room and ordered someone to find clean clothes for her. You All we have to do is match her with a girl and give her a name, right?"

Seeing Xingnan getting angrier as he talked, Xiao Ningzi realized that Xingnan wouldn't believe him if he blindly explained.

He stood there, exhaled hard, then stepped forward, took her hand,

"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

"Let me go..."

Xingnan wanted to break free from his hand, but his hand was too strong and she couldn't shake it off at all.

After a while, Xiao Ningzi stuffed her into the carriage. He also got on the carriage immediately and called the groom to rush to General Ling's mansion.

Xingnan stared angrily,

"What do you mean? Why are you going to find General Ling? If you have the ability, go to the palace. You go to the emperor."

Xiao Ningzi turned her head to one side, not looking at her.

"Are you still angry? You brought a woman home, are you still angry?"

As she spoke, she took his hand and bit hard on the back of his hand.

"what……"
