The reason why she chose to go to the Duke's Mansion was because she knew that the Queen was still living in the Duke's Mansion.

In the entire Daning Kingdom, probably the Queen was the only one who could listen to her distress!

This time, Luo Lan stayed in the Duke's Mansion for a month for the first time.

During this period, the emperor did not send anyone to find her, and she did not go to see the emperor.

This is probably the longest time they have been apart since they got married.

Luo Lan held on to this strength in her heart, and Leng Yu didn't want to let go.

During this period, Luo Lan asked someone to find out that Huaiyu had been staying in the Shenxing Division. The emperor went to see him twice and had a brief chat with him, but the emperor never issued an order to convict him.

Perhaps, the emperor doesn’t know how to issue this decree!

At this time, Luo Lan was drinking tea and chatting with his father and mother, and the housekeeper hurriedly came to report,

"General, the Emperor has sent someone to ask you to come to the palace."

Liu Dechang's brows tightened, and then he waved to the housekeeper,

"I know, I'll go right away."

Although Liu Dechang was already busy at home, people would still come to report to him from time to time on matters big and small in the court, or if the emperor had any undecided matters, he would still be asked to go to the palace for discussion.

He stood up and looked at Luo Lan with a solemn expression.

"Lan'er, if my guess is correct, the emperor is undecided about Huaiyu and has come to me to discuss it. What do you think should be done about this matter?"

After all, he is his biological father. When something happens, he first thinks of his daughter.

Luo Lan pondered for a while, sighed and shook his head.

"Dad, it's not easy for a woman like me to get involved in important court affairs. It's up to the emperor to decide how to judge the crime!"

"Really? You don't plan to plead for Huaiyu?"

"It's useless to plead for mercy. If Leng Yu wants to be accommodating, he won't not come to see me for a month or call me back."

Liu Dechang clasped his hands behind his back, nodded, and responded:

"That's what you said. Let me go to the palace first. Then, I will give the emperor some advice as appropriate."

With these words behind him, he took long strides and walked towards the gate.

At the same time, Princess Xingnan walked in with an ugly expression under the guidance of the housekeeper.

When she met Liu Dechang head-on, she just bowed to him and bowed, and then went straight to the main hall.

"Your Majesty, Princess Ning is here."

When the housekeeper said this, Luo Lan had already seen Xingnan. She quickly stood up and went to greet him.

"Xingnan, why are you here?"

Xiaoling hurriedly raised her hand and ordered her servants:

"Come here, bring a new pot of tea."

Xingnan looked at Luo Lan's concerned eyes and suddenly shed tears.

Seeing this scene, Luo Lan asked anxiously,

"Xingnan, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Xiao Ningzi?"

Xingnan bit his lip, nodded, and then shook his head.

"No, no one bullied me, I just want to cry."

"Why? Why do you want to cry?"

"Empress, I miss home. I want to go home. I want to see my father and queen."

Hearing this, Luo Lan nodded distressedly,

"Of course. When you got married, the emperor said that you can go home at any time if you want."

"Then I'll leave tomorrow."

"Not tomorrow, I have to let Xiao Ningzi explain the work at hand, maybe next month!"

"I won't take him back."

After hearing this, Luo Lan seemed to understand that Xingnan's homesickness was false, but his anger with Xiao Ningzi was true.

She hurriedly took her hand and sat down on the chair. While pouring her a cup of tea, she asked softly:

"Xingnan, tell me, what happened? Did you have a fight with Xiao Ningzi?"

"Uuuuuuu..."

Mentioning this matter, Xingnan suddenly started crying. Upon seeing this, Xiaoling stepped forward to ask, somewhat at a loss.

"Child, what happened? You have to tell us, so we can find a way to help you."

Luo Lan also nodded there,

"Yeah, what happened? You have to tell us."

Seeing that Luo Lan and Mrs. Liu were anxiously asking about this matter, Zhi'er couldn't help but said:

"The prince wants to take a concubine, and the princess is in a bad mood."

"Concubinage?"

Hearing this, Luo Lan and Xiao Ling asked in disbelief,

"You said Xiao Ningzi wants to take a concubine?"

Xingnan turned around and glared at Zhi'er before nodding aggrievedly.

"It's not his fault, it was my idea."

"What's your idea?"

Luo Lan looked at her in astonishment.

"Why did you take a concubine for him?"

Xingnan lowered his head, looking embarrassed.

Seeing this, Luo Lan waved directly to the servant standing at the door.

"Go back all!"

"Yes."

After all the servants retreated, Luo Lan looked at Xingnan again.

"There are only three of us here. If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Xingnan looked up at Luo Lan, mustered up his courage, and finally said:

"It's still what I told you last time when I came to the palace. After you told me the method, I tried it, but it didn't work. The day after I came to the palace to find you, Xiao Ningzi came back drunk in the middle of the night. I also brought back a woman named Aqin. I originally wanted to send this woman away, but she said she didn’t want wages and just gave her food to eat. I didn’t want to take advantage of her, I just thought she was quite pitiful. Plus At that time, I suspected that Xiao Ningzi was related to this woman, so I thought of keeping her by my side so that it would be easier to take care of her. However, after my observation, I found that they have not met in private in the past month..."

Having said this, Xingnan breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, and then continued:

"I gave up my doubts about the two of them, but in this month, we tried several times, and he still couldn't do it. So I thought, let Aqin try him to see if he is only with me. It doesn’t work, or it really doesn’t work.”

As she said these words, she kept wrapping the handkerchief around her fingertips, trying to hide her inner panic.

When Xingnan said this, Luo Lan suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You are really confused. How could you use this kind of thing to test? What happened next?"

"Later...then he slept with Aqin, and...more than once. When I went to see him this morning, the woman's first blood was still on the bed sheet..."

Speaking of this, her tears fell again.

"I originally thought that when he faced Aqin, he would definitely be as bad as he was when he faced me, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect that he would be unable to do it with me. Madam, what should I do?"

Xingnan's words made Luo Lan's heart beat fast.

She wanted to comfort Xingnan, but found that all words seemed pale and weak at this time.

If Xiao Ningzi really did what Xingnan said, and did that thing with the woman named Aqin, but she only showed no interest in Xingnan, this is really a puzzling thing.

Ordinarily, his feelings for Xingnan are not fake, but why can't he be with Xingnan?

After pondering for a while, she asked softly,

"If you take the initiative, can't he do the same?"

Xingnan bit his lip and nodded with red eyes.

"Well, I took the initiative to kiss him and touch him, but he just couldn't do it. He was anxious, and so was I."

"Then you should have come to me a long time ago instead of coming to me to cry after something happened. If it is as you said, it is a done deal, then this matter is really difficult."

Seeing this, Xiaoling comforted her softly:

"Xingnan, now that the matter has come out, I, as an elder, would like to say a few words."

Xingnan quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded.

"Mrs. Liu, please speak."
