Chapter 535 A night of reluctance
Luo Lan already knew something about the loss and recovery of the treasury money from Zhang Yuan and Xiao Shuangzi. She also knew that Leng Yu would personally escort the money to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so she expected that tonight, Leng Yu would definitely
Will come to her.
Sure enough, she guessed it right. She had just changed the medicine in the IV bottle for the emperor when there was a knock on the door.
"Princess, the prince is here."
The corners of Luo Lan's mouth raised slightly, she turned around calmly, lifted her skirt and walked towards the door.
When she opened the door, Leng Yu's tall figure was standing with his back to her, seeming to be thinking about something.
After waving to Zhang Yuan and Xiao Jar who were about to speak, she quietly came up behind him. Before he was aware of it, she covered his face with her hands and asked softly:
"Guess who I am?"
A warm smile appeared at the corner of Leng Yu's mouth. He put his hands on the jade hands and covered his lips with them. He closed his eyes and kissed her softly while murmuring,
"This voice belongs to the lady I miss day and night, Lan'er."
Luo Lan pursed her lips, walked around from behind him, and muttered coquettishly,
"I asked you to guess, and you guessed it right in one go. What's the point?"
Seeing that she was a little unhappy, Leng Yu raised his eyebrows and comforted her softly with apology:
"Then... why not do it again?
"No, boring, tell me, are you here to say goodbye to me?"
Leng Yu stepped forward and took her hand, "Can we talk somewhere else? There are many people here, so it's inconvenient."
"Let's go to the back garden for a walk. I haven't been there for a long time."
"Um."
Leng Yu took her hand and walked towards the back garden.
The night is so beautiful tonight. The moon is very round tonight. The two people walking together on the stone path in the Imperial Garden have no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery. Their backs look a little lonely against the faint moonlight. They
There is an unspeakable reluctance in my heart.
They came to the creek and sat down hand in hand. Luo Lan rested her head on Leng Yu's shoulder. Even though she was extremely reluctant to let go, she couldn't help but ask:
"Tomorrow...are you going on a long trip?"
Leng Yu pursed his lips and nodded reluctantly,
"Well, the amount of money being escorted this time is large, and there are many people who need to be resettled. I want to personally escort the people and supervise the resettlement of the people. I don't trust others."
Although he had known this would be the answer, Luo Lan still felt a feeling of emptiness welling up in his heart.
There must be a reason for what he wanted to do. Luo Lan did not try to dissuade him, but nodded directly.
"Well, how long will it take to come back?"
Leng Yu put his hands on her shoulders, held her whole body in his arms, thought for a while, and replied carefully:
"I'm not sure now. I estimate it will take at least one to two years. This time, I will have to work hard for you again."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's heart sank, but thinking that he was also a helpless act dedicated to serving the people, he could only nod.
"The last time we were apart was five years. I hope it won't be too long this time. You should leave early and come back early."
Leng Yu knew that Lan'er would be unhappy if he left again. He tightened the hand on her shoulder and watched the jade-like moonlight shining into the water with her, feeling indescribable in his heart.
.
After a long silence, Luo Lan suddenly spoke,
"Eunuch Liu was assassinated."
These sudden words caused Leng Yu's forehead to knit together instantly. He pulled Luo Lan up from his shoulders and looked at her in surprise.
"Eunuch Liu was assassinated? When did it happen? Where was it?"
"Last night, I knew that you were busy dealing with the affairs of the treasury and the victims these days, and you were already exhausted, so I didn't ask Zhang Yuan and others to inform you, so as not to worry you, but since you are here, I thought I'd better tell you.
Bar."
"Can you tell who the other party is? Did they hurt Eunuch Liu because they wanted to assassinate the emperor but failed?"
"No, their purpose is very clear, that is Eunuch Liu. Moreover, Eunuch Liu was poisoned by their silver needles and is recovering from his injuries in the ear room next to the Yangxin Hall."
Luo Lan's words made Leng Yu's eyes flash with a few dark glances, and he murmured,
"Why did they want to kill Eunuch Liu? Eunuch Liu is a person close to the emperor. He rarely leaves the palace and rarely offends others. The assassins came specifically to target him. Presumably, the ultimate goal is for the emperor."
"I thought so too, but why did they leave after stabbing Eunuch Liu? And if they really wanted to assassinate the emperor, they could have brought more people. Why only two people came? Are they here to find out?
"
Leng Yu frowned slightly, turned his head, met her eyes, and said with concern:
"Lan'er, I always feel that something big will happen after I leave. You must be extremely careful. Remember, once something happens in the womb, you only need to protect yourself. You don't have to take care of the rest.
, I will take care of it."
"Ms. sir..."
"Don't worry about me. Just do as I say. I have my own ideas."
Leng Yu's deep-set eyes suddenly flashed with a determined look. He would protect his woman and the country of Daning to the death.
"Okay, everything depends on my husband."
Luo Lan snuggled into his arms again. The sky was as clear as stars, the beauty was as beautiful as jade, and the wind blew her clothes. At this time, the two of them seemed to be sitting in the vast galaxy.
Through the moonlight, the shadows of the two of them depending on each other are reflected, so harmonious and beautiful, like a pair of gods and lovers descending to the human world...
In the early morning of the next day, Leng Yu talked with Lin Dong, Ayu Ahou and others for a long time in the camp. No one knew what he said specifically.
Just after Chen hour, the order to set off came from outside. Leng Yu patted Ayu and Ahou on the shoulders and looked at them seriously,
"Let's go, the victims are still waiting for us."
Ayu and Ahou nodded heavily, clasped their fists and said:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will fulfill our mission."
He looked at Lin Dong again, "Remember my words and benefit the people. In five years, I will go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When the time comes, I hope you will not disappoint me."
Lin Dong vowed and nodded firmly, "Your Highness, don't worry. I will do my best to benefit the people and will never let Your Highness down."
Leng Yu looked at them and nodded,
"It's getting late, let's go."
After saying this, he took long strides and walked outside the camp.
Outside, the people were looking at him eagerly. When they saw him coming out, the crowd that had just been in a commotion suddenly became quiet. He came to the people and shouted:
"After everyone goes back, we must cooperate with Mr. Lin to build our home even better than before. Do you have confidence?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The crowd began to boil. These thin-looking people were in high spirits now, and they looked completely different from when they arrived.
