The emperor secretly turned his sore neck and said quietly:

"Without this false edict, the door to the treasury cannot be opened. If the door to the treasury cannot be opened, not only will the theft of the treasury not be discovered, but the victims will also cause chaos in the capital. It will definitely end badly. Originally,

I am still thinking, was it the treasury opened by Prince Yu? Or was it Liu Xi who ordered the treasury door to be opened? I want to give a good reward. Now it seems that the person who issued this imperial edict has merit. Now you two say

This imperial edict was issued by myself, who should I trust? And who should I reward?"

The emperor's words did not sound like threats or inducements. Luo Lan was a little surprised, and so was Liu Xi.

"Father, if it is really meritorious, then it is Eunuch Liu who was the first to meritorious service. It was he who passed down this imperial edict."

When Eunuch Liu saw this, he shook his head and explained,

"Your Majesty, you should have rewarded Princess Yu. This old slave was only responsible for passing on the imperial edict and did not ask Princess Yu to write this imperial edict. Please, Your Majesty, reward Princess Yu."

"Please, Your Majesty, reward Eunuch Liu..."

"Your Majesty, please reward Princess Yu..."

The two men began to give way again.

The emperor's brows twisted into a knot. He looked at these two people and waved his hands with a headache.

"Just now you two both wanted to receive the punishment, why do you want the other to receive the reward now? I've made your quarrels painful. Since you are giving in, I guess you all have a share in this matter. That's all.

The deeds will be made up for, and there will be no reward or punishment."

This result is undoubtedly the best. Otherwise, if the emperor really pursues the matter of falsely transmitting the imperial edict, it will really end badly.

Thinking of this, the corners of Luo Lan's mouth raised, and he knelt down and saluted.

"Thank you, Father..."

Liu Xi also grinned and leaned forward to salute.

"Old slave, thank you, Your Majesty..."

"Well, please step aside. I'm tired and want to take a rest."

After saying this, seeing the emperor wanting to lie down, Leng Yu hurriedly stepped forward and helped him lie down on the bed.

After settling down the emperor, Leng Yu, Luo Lan and Liu Xi walked out of the Yangxin Hall together.

Outside the Yangxin Hall, not only Xiao Lingzi and others were standing there, but several empresses in the palace were also waiting at the door. Seeing them coming out, Concubine Li was the first to step forward and asked:

"Eunuch Liu, we want to go in and see the emperor. Please send us a message, Eunuch Liu."

Liu Xi's face instantly sank, and he waved his hands impatiently,

"The emperor is tired and has gone to bed. Please come back, ladies and gentlemen. If there is no communication in the future, don't come."

Eunuch Liu's words were so cold that the hearts of the ladies also sank to the bottom.

Especially Concubine Li, her face suddenly turned pale.

Luo Lan knew that she was emotionally unstable, and was afraid that she would have bad thoughts, so he took two steps forward to comfort her:

"My dear ladies, the emperor is ill and cannot talk much. You should go back first. When the emperor recovers after a while, he will naturally summon you."

Concubine Li twitched her lips and spoke with an earthy face,

"The emperor doesn't want to see us, right? I heard that he met Sister Li and even talked to her. Why did we avoid him when we came?"

When did the emperor meet Concubine Li?

Could it be that she was talking about Concubine Li's visit when Leng Xi came to force her to go to the palace just now? Does that count as a summons?

This...this statement is too far-fetched.

Luo Lan couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart. She had no obligation to wake up the person who pretended to be asleep. If she wanted to do so, then let her do it!

Luo Lan looked at Concubine Li helplessly, smiled and shook her head,

"If you insist on thinking this way, and I won't stop you, then just wait here slowly! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, she took Leng Yu's hand and left the gate of Yangxin Hall, followed closely by Xiao Lingzi and others.

Seeing the two of them leaving, Liu Xi turned around and said coldly to Xiao Lizi and others who were guarding the door:

"Keep the door safe. No one is allowed in unless the emperor summons you."

After leaving these words, he rolled his eyes at Concubine Li and others, and limped towards the penthouse, leaving only Concubine Li and a few unnamed concubines standing there in a daze.

The breeze is gentle and the sunshine is just right.

On the way out of the palace, Luo Lan was in a good mood. She held Leng Yu's hand and couldn't help but say:

"I haven't seen the children for a long time. They must have missed me. I don't know if these stinky children have been obedient these days. I will go to the street to buy them some delicious food."

"Don't worry, Mom and Xina are here, they are obedient..."

When Xina was mentioned, Luo Lan took his hand as if he thought of something, stopped and said,

"Ms. sir, have you visited Ming'er in the past few days?"

"No, I don't know what he is busy with. He hasn't been seen for a few days."

"Oops..."

When she said these two words, the pace of her feet also accelerated a lot.

Leng Yu, who was confused, was pulled forward quickly by her, and couldn't help but ask, "Lan'er, what happened?"

Luo Lan then slowed down and whispered in his ear:

"A few days ago, didn't Xina hide at home and cry all day long? I felt strange at the time. Later, I went to Prince Ming's Mansion and saw that Ming'er was also there drinking to drown her sorrows. Finally, I got the answer from him. It turned out that

, they fell in love, and they loved each other to the death, maybe because I told Xina earlier that she could not be with Ming'er. When Ming'er confessed to Xina, Xina rejected Ming'er, causing Ming'er to hide.

At home, I was drunk all day long. I was busy with the emperor's affairs these days, and I actually forgot about their affairs."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Leng Yu held her hand hard, frowned, and looked at her in confusion,

"What do you want to do about this matter?"

This question gave Luo Lan a hard time. She sighed and shook her head vigorously.

"I don't know what to do, but I have to ensure their safety. Xina is in Prince Yu's Mansion and has her mother guarding her, so she should be fine. We don't know whether Ming'er is well these days, so I think

Go and have a look.”

Leng Yu knew that she was impatient, and her sister-in-law treated Leng Ming better than her brother.

He held her hand again and nodded heavily,

"Okay, I have nothing to do today, I will go with you."

While talking, the two of them held hands and walked outside the palace under the warm sunshine.

Prince Ming's Mansion

The sun was shining brightly outside, but it was dark inside.

Leng Ming lay on the rocking chair and stared at the roof in a daze.

This is what he has to do every day. He feels that besides being in a daze, he doesn't know what to do.

He has been living such a miserable life for a while now.

Once a person adapts to a certain kind of life, he feels that this is the life he should live.

Now Leng Ming is living this kind of life that he has adapted to.

In his eyes, there is no distinction between day and night.

When the housekeeper saw Leng Yu and Luo Lan arriving, he immediately came over with a sigh as if he was grasping at a life-saving straw.
