Luo Lan lowered his eyes and replied without timidity:

"I have nothing to say. Since someone died after taking my medicine, you have to let me see the person. Otherwise, I don't think my medicine can kill people."

Seeing her resolute tone, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and then looked at her with a frown, "Princess Yu, I heard that you are a competitive person, but what happened this time was not groundless, and I also believe that you did not do it on purpose, so I

I want to prepare you mentally before going on trial in public."

Hearing the emperor's words, Luo Lan felt warm in his heart. It turned out that he was leaving time for himself.

She raised her eyes to look at him and said word by word:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I have nothing to prepare. Logically speaking, if the patient who took my medicine died, his family should come to my Prince Yu's Mansion to reason. Why did they go directly to Shuntian Mansion? So in this matter, I

I feel like there’s something else fishy.”

The emperor looked at her with half-squinted eyes, and then sighed, "I will investigate this matter clearly. If you are wronged, I will clear your name, but if it is really because of taking your medicine that the patient died, I will not

I won’t condone it.”

The corner of Luo Lan's mouth twitched. She didn't need the emperor to tell her. She understood this. If she had no way to prove her innocence, not to mention the emperor wouldn't tolerate her. Even the doctor Bai and the dog prince wouldn't tolerate her.

Living in Prince Yu's Mansion, where everyone is ostracized, one must always be vigilant and feel as if one is walking on thin ice.

The emperor glanced at her and saw that she had no intention of surrendering, and then said:

"I know I have wronged you by asking you to marry Yu'er. Some time ago, the imperial doctor said that he was not going to die soon. Concubine Chang proposed to find him a princess who would accompany him alive and bury him in death. I did not stop her..."

Speaking of this, he sighed, "Fortunately, you took good care of Yu'er and he is still alive. I don't know if I should thank you. Although I don't want anything to happen to you, this matter happened after Shuntian Mansion."

I have just arrived here, so the people must have already heard about it, so even if I want to hide it for you, I can't!"

There was helplessness in the emperor's tone, and Luo Lan also understood the meaning of his words. If possible, he was willing to suppress the matter. After all, he was the king of a country and he could change the situation.

But she doesn't want to do this. If this matter is not handled well and her reputation becomes bad, then her medical clinic will no longer need to be opened, and Prince Yu's Mansion will once again be in existential crisis.

So no matter what, she had to figure this out. Was there something wrong with her medicine, or was someone framed against her?

She just didn't expect that the emperor was still thinking about her at this time, so she really wanted to ask the emperor, since he didn't want Leng Yu to die, why did he treat him like that?

She pondered for a long time, and finally she couldn't help but defend him and said:

"Luo Lan is from the country. I don't feel aggrieved for marrying Prince Yu, but I feel aggrieved for the prince. Although I live in the country, at most I have not had enough food and clothing since I was a child. If I do something wrong, I will be punished at most.

I was whipped, but I never thought that someone would have a worse life than me. Iron nails were driven into both legs, so I was paralyzed in bed, with feces and urine sticking to my body. I treated the prisoners of the enemy like a living dead.

It’s nothing more than that…”

Hearing this, the emperor suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at her with doubt in his eyes, "Say it again..."

Luo Lan's eyebrows were furrowed. Thinking of how she looked when she first met Leng Yu, her eyes turned red, and she said again word by word:

"I said, although I, Shui Luolan, am a countryman, and although I often do wrong things, no one will be cruel enough to drive iron nails into my legs, making me live a life worse than death.

A day without ghosts.”

The emperor's eyebrows tightened and he immediately asked:

"What do you mean? Who are you talking about? Who had nails driven into his legs?"

Seeing the surprised look in the emperor's eyes, could it be that he really didn't know about this as Leng Yu said?

What about the past three years? Didn’t he know about it for three years?

She bit her lips tightly and said again word by word:

"I'm talking about my husband-in-law, Leng Yu..."

After saying this, Luo Lan clearly felt that the emperor's body was shaking, and his lips were moving.

She really wanted to ask him if he, as the king of a country, knew about this? But he was the emperor. Although she was angry, she couldn't be rude and just think about it in her heart.

The emperor's face suddenly turned pale. He clenched his fists and murmured to himself:

"Who did it? These dog slaves, no one mentioned this to me, did they really think I was blind? They also lied to me that Yu'er mutilated her legs. What are they going to do?"

Seeing the emperor's expression a little excited, Luo Lan just lowered his head coldly. She wanted to say that the person who did this was Leng Yu's mother-in-law, Concubine Chang.

But when the words came to her lips, she choked back. Leng Yu told her that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. When talking to the emperor, she should keep half of the words on her lips. Don't think about what to say, but think carefully. She didn't say it.

The emperor will believe everything you say.

So, she remained silent. If she spoke, the emperor would think that she was deliberately messing up the relationship between the royal family. This kind of person is the most taboo in the palace.

The emperor's body swayed, he closed his eyes tightly, as if thinking of Leng Yu's current appearance, he murmured:

"She's not my mother after all. She often visits her, so she doesn't know about it. Why didn't she tell me? Why were she indifferent to it?"

Although the emperor's voice was small, it all fell into Luo Lan's ears.

Who is the emperor talking about? Concubine Chang Guifei?

Isn’t Concubine Chang Guifei Leng Yu’s biological mother?

With doubts, she looked at the emperor.

The emperor rubbed his forehead with both hands and asked again:

"How is Yu'er now?"

Luo Lan hesitated for a moment and whispered:

"He is still alive..."

Her answer was the same as last time, she didn't want to tell the emperor too much about Leng Yu.

The emperor pursed his lips and nodded, "Go down first! Stay in the palace tonight, and I will personally review the case tomorrow morning."

She actually wanted to ask, if she wanted to go back to accompany Leng Yu, could she come back early tomorrow morning?

But she knew it would be in vain. No one in the royal family would understand or sympathize with her.

So, she bowed and bowed, then slowly withdrew.

When Eunuch Liu saw her coming out, he said to the girl beside him:

"Take Princess Yu to Shulan Courtyard to rest. She is well taken care of."

The two maids bowed to her and said, "Princess Yu, please come this way."

After Luo Lan nodded to Eunuch Liu, she followed the two maids and walked to the left side of the imperial study.

The emperor's words just now kept ringing in Luo Lan's ears.

Is Chang Guifei not Leng Yu's biological mother? I'm afraid Leng Yu himself doesn't know about this, but in this way, it's really easy to understand. No wonder she is so indifferent and cruel to Leng Yu.
