Chapter 199 Voices of Doubt
Leng Zian's words are like pearls, and every sentence is thorny, which makes people feel uncomfortable and makes people feel very uncomfortable listening to it.
Luo Lan stood there with a calm expression. She knew that whether it was for Xiao Zhi or the overall situation, she could not let Leng Zian do something drastic, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.
After hearing Leng Zian's scolding and doubtful words, Luo Lan tried her best to calm down the anger in her heart. If it weren't for Xiaozhi, she really wanted to give up and leave, but Xiaozhi's life did not allow her to joke.
She took two quick steps with her dress in hand and stood in front of Leng Yu, who wanted to reply. Facing Leng Zian's angry eyes, she said word by word:
"I will not let you enter this door under any circumstances today. If you really want to see me, please come back in three days."
Seeing that her attitude was still firm, Leng Zian gritted his teeth and pointed at the door and said viciously:
"Do you really want me to force my way in?"
Before he finished speaking, Luo Lan suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted at the top of his lungs:
"If you want your son to die, just go ahead."
After saying this, she pulled Leng Yu to stand aside and said calmly:
"If your uncle is not willing to wait for three days, then you can just break in. But from the moment you step through this door, I, Shui Luolan, will not interfere with Xiaozhi's life or death."
When she said this, her face became extremely serious, and her handsome pupils were filled with eyes that were so deep that people dared not look directly into them.
Time stood still here, everyone present held their breath, and Leng Zian was also chewing on what Luo Lan had just said, hesitating to move forward.
Leng Yu put his hand on hers and held it back firmly, trying to calm her down.
Thinking of Xiao Zhi, Leng Zian's heart suddenly softened again. On the day Xiao Zhi was injured, everyone shook their heads and sighed. Only Luo Lan said that he could save him. If he really broke in like this, she would definitely do it according to Luo Lan's temper.
He turned around and left. If Xiaozhi was getting better as she said, wouldn't he, as a father, have harmed his own son?
Thinking of this, he clenched his fists, looked at Luo Lan coldly, and said angrily:
"I'll come back on the tenth day of the lunar month. If you don't let me see you again, I will destroy this place."
After leaving these harsh words, he waved his hands, snorted coldly, and strode away, followed closely by the guards who came with him.
Seeing that he was gone, Luo Lan let out a long sigh of relief like a deflated balloon. Leng Yu quickly put his hands on her shoulders, supporting her somewhat exhausted body and comforting her softly,
"Lan'er, I've wronged you."
Luo Lan shook his head feebly, "I'm not afraid of grievances. For Xiaozhi's sake, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little grievances. I just hope he can get well soon."
Leng Yu tightened his arms and held her in his arms. Looking at her pale little face, he felt heartbroken. He was afraid that Leng Zi'an's trouble just now would affect her mood, so he sighed and comforted her again:
"Xiao Zhi will be fine. Uncle Huang has a straightforward temper. He must have listened to someone's gossip before he came here to cause trouble. Don't take this matter to heart."
Luo Lan pursed her lips and gave a helpless smile, looked into the distance with empty eyes, and murmured:
"I don't blame him for being suspicious, and I don't blame others for gossiping behind his back. After so many days, no one has seen Xiaozhi except me. Everyone will think that with Xiaozhi's state at that time, I am afraid that at this time
He died a long time ago, so I don’t blame him for being impatient."
She couldn't explain Xiaozhi's stay in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber to others, so she could only prevent others from seeing him for a short period of time. This also caused Leng Zian to be suspicious of him. On the contrary, she felt that Leng Zian's suspicion was not problematic.
As a father, he should be like this.
Thinking of this, she raised her eyes to meet Leng Yu's affectionate eyes and asked softly:
"How is the investigation going on Xiaozhi's matter?"
Hearing her ask this, Leng Yu's relaxed expression suddenly became tense. He thought for a while and replied with a solemn expression:
"We haven't found any clues yet. The person who knew about it is dead. It looks like he slipped and fell into the water, but he was actually hanged and died."
Luo Lan frowned slightly and sighed deeply, feeling an unknown worry well up in his heart.
Xiaozhi's identity is already special, and now he is injured inexplicably. This incident is extraordinary. In the deep palace, people's hearts are really complicated, and human life is like grass.
…
On the evening of the ninth day of the first lunar month, in the royal study, Luo Lan came to see the emperor at the emperor's request. After just saluting, she put her hands in front of her and stood with her hands down, waiting quietly for the emperor to ask questions.
There were only the emperor and her here. Eunuch Liu took advantage of the darkness to call her here. The summons this time was relatively hidden. She knew that the emperor must want to know about Xiaozhi.
After pondering for a long time, the emperor finally sighed and asked:
"To be honest, I had better make plans in advance."
Regarding his incomprehensible words, Luo Lan blinked his eyes, raised his head in confusion, and asked in surprise:
"Where did your Majesty's words come from?"
The emperor stood up from the dragon chair, walked slowly to her side, and stood there with his hands behind his back only two feet away from her, murmuring:
"I know that you were afraid that King Zhennan would stir up trouble, so you deliberately delayed the time. Is the child... hopeless?"
Luo Lan was startled by the emperor's question. It turned out that it was not only King Zhennan who was suspicious of her, but also the emperor.
She frowned slightly, her eyes flickered, she slowly leaned forward and replied softly:
"Luo Lan has no ambitions to think about his family, country, and the world, nor is he as scheming as the emperor said. I just want to save Xiao Zhi, that's all."
Her voice was unusually cold and even a bit dissatisfied.
The emperor walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, then suddenly stopped, his pupils suddenly sank, and asked again:
"Is it really possible that the child will live?"
"He lives now."
Luo Lan didn't want to explain more, because she knew that in such a situation, it would be useless for her to explain more, and the facts were the best explanation.
The emperor seems to be a little anxious. Now the whole palace, even the palace people, are suspecting that Xiaozhi is dead and that this is a trick of Luo Lan. Except Leng Yu, no one believes that she can save Xiaozhi. This makes
The emperor was at a loss as to what to do.
He originally wanted to send troops back to the capital to prepare for emergencies, but he was afraid that Leng Zian would discover the clues, which would cause unnecessary disputes in advance.
Although he was not afraid of the mere tens of thousands of soldiers of King Zhennan, he was also afraid that others would say that he, the emperor, could not tolerate his own brothers and that he was a foolish king who killed his brothers and nephews.
He wanted to hear the truth from Luo Lan's mouth so that he could know what to do, but Luo Lan only gave him a few simple replies, which were quite perfunctory.
While he was hesitating, someone suddenly broke in from outside. The person walked and shouted,
