Chapter 140 Royal Ruthlessness
When the emperor came, Luo Lan was sitting in front of the table in a daze. This morning, no one brought her food or water. She sat in this forgotten corner, as if she had been forgotten.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Eunuch Liu's hoarse voice was like a sudden shock, breaking the tranquility in Luo Lan's heart. The moment the door opened, she stood up, knelt down in front of the emperor, and whispered:
"Your Majesty, good luck."
When the emperor stood in front of her, his face was gloomy. Eunuch Liu quickly pulled a chair over and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down."
The emperor swung his clothes, looked at Luo Lan deeply, and sat down.
He did not speak, and Luo Lan also lowered his head and remained silent.
After a long while, he finally lost his composure and asked:
"Shui Luolan, did you do it on purpose last night?"
His words made Luo Lan stunned for a while. She frowned and replied in a low voice:
"Luo Lan doesn't understand what the emperor means."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said word by word:
"Do you think I won't know if you are being clever? I have found out that you first made Concubine Chang suspicious of you, then led me to Qingyu Garden, and then seduced the prince into telling the story of framing Yu'er. All of this
It's all under your control, yes or no?"
"yes."
Luo Lan replied directly without any hesitation or concealment:
"What the emperor said is true. All of this was arranged by Luo Lan. I can't let Leng Yu bear the reputation of patricide for the rest of his life. He shouldn't be misunderstood. The fact that he was framed should be made known to the world."
"So you use me? Use Concubine Chang? Use the prince? You really kill three birds with one stone!"
"The emperor's words are wrong. Luo Lan did not take advantage of anyone. The prince has lustful thoughts towards me, Concubine Chang Guifei is wary of me, and the emperor, you have no confidence in things in the harem, so by chance, it came true.
Luo Lan also clarified Leng Yu."
When she said this, her voice was soft, but it had a tone that made people dare not look down upon her. She did not say it too harshly, because the person in front of her was a one-time emperor. Otherwise, she would definitely say bluntly: You are
Everyone has their own agenda, otherwise how could Shui Luolan's little trick succeed?
Listening to her words, the emperor's brows knitted together. Her words were not unreasonable. If Leng Yun didn't have a wrong idea for her, how could he be willing to tell the truth? Then the emperor would not know this secret until his death.
.
He looked at Luo Lan, who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, and felt unspeakable mixed feelings in his heart.
Suddenly, he sighed and said sadly:
"This matter has a great impact. I will issue an order immediately to vindicate Yu'er, restore his innocence, and restore his identity as Prince Yu. However, I believe that you are doing this for Yu'er's good, but others will not believe it.
The people in the harem can't stop talking, so I have to think about the royal family's face."
At this point, he paused for a moment, with a slightly harsh look on his aging face, and then said: "You have two choices now: First, you can restore Yu'er's innocence, although you have contributed a lot.
I can't let you stay with him. You can choose to leave Yu'er and live your own life, but I will order someone to give you a sum of money so that you can have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. Secondly, you should be careful about the punishment.
The judge is on trial. You are married, but you are unfaithful to your husband. Your attempt to seduce the prince failed. You are responsible for this crime and you are no longer fit to stay in the royal family."
The emperor's words made Luo Lan suddenly feel extremely contemptuous in his heart. The meaning of his words was very obvious. He was forcing himself to leave Leng Yu and leave Prince Yu's palace. People in the royal family are so ruthless. Can this be compared to killing a donkey in a hurry?
But at the moment, she knew that she couldn't confront the emperor. Without Leng Yu, no one would speak for her. She still understood why her arms couldn't twist her thighs.
So, she nodded lightly and said decisively:
"Shui Luolan should not have married into the royal family. In the past, Leng Yu had no one to take care of him, so Luo Lan was lucky enough to be close to him and serve him. Now he will soon resume his status as Prince Yu, and I have no intention of staying with him anymore, so I
Choose to leave.”
She would never enter a place like the Department of Punishment, nor should she enter.
Seeing her speaking freely and freely, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slowly and said:
"Okay, in that case, you don't have to go back to Prince Yu's Mansion to say goodbye to Yu'er. Take the money and go. Also, you can't stay in the capital."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's lips twitched slightly. The emperor didn't know that Leng Yu had gone to Ning Guta yet, and she had no intention of telling him. When his imperial edict was issued, Leng Yu regained his freedom, and Ning Guta
The person inside will naturally be pardoned, and by then, no matter where he is, he will be safe.
So, she stood up slowly, nodded to the emperor and said:
"Okay, but I have to take my two girls with me."
The emperor said without hesitation:
"Liu Xi, bring her a thousand taels of silver and ask her to take her girl with her. You can personally escort her out of the capital."
There was dignity in his words, and he asked Eunuch Liu to send her away from the capital in person. It seemed that he was not at ease with him.
She raised her eyebrows and replied softly:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Luo Lan excuses himself."
She didn't want to say another word to the emperor, nor did she want to stay any longer in this ruthless palace. Leaving this place of right and wrong as soon as possible was undoubtedly the best choice for her.
Liu Xi quickly sent the three of them out of the capital, and delivered a thousand taels of silver notes to her. He said to her in a hoarse voice that seemed to be both an instruction and a threat:
"From now on, you are still Shui Luolan and no longer Princess Yu. You have to take care of yourself. The Emperor has mercy on you and has not investigated your life experience or your purpose of approaching the palace. Don't challenge the royal dignity easily.
Don't challenge what the emperor said, I hope you won't bring trouble to Prince Yu, it's a long road, I hope you go well."
"Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me."
Luo Lan bowed and saluted, motioned to Ah Hong to take the banknote, and turned around to leave without any further pause.
Eunuch Liu's words represent the emperor. It seems that he is afraid that he will return to the capital and Prince Yu's palace.
Luo Lan raised her face, faced the wind, and walked forward.
Although the future is unknown, she has no distractions. No matter what the outcome of her relationship with Leng Yu will be in the future, as long as he is well, she will feel at ease and have nothing to worry about.
The world is so big, there is always a place for her...
Looking at her back, Liu Xi's eyes were half-closed, he let out a long sigh, and murmured:
"Just take care of yourself. Leaving the royal family may be the best way out for you."
With these words behind him, he turned around and entered the city gate with a group of palace people.
royal study,
Concubine Chang looked at the emperor in confusion and asked softly:
"Why did you let her go?"
The emperor looked at the scroll in his hand leisurely and said softly:
"Why can't you let it go?"
"Her identity is false. Her aunt would have come to identify her today. Why did the emperor suddenly let her go? Doesn't the emperor suspect her purpose of getting close to Yu'er?"
Concubine Chang was originally waiting for the emperor to personally examine her false identity today, but she just learned that she had left and left the capital. How could she accept this result?
