Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

The entrance to Fengyi Palace returned to calm again. Yu'er suddenly came to Leng Yu and Luo Lan, knelt on his knees and looked at them with gratitude.

"Your Majesty, Queen, Yu'er thanks you for saving my mother and concubine. Please accept Yu'er's three thanks."

After he finished speaking, he kowtowed three times. Leng Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Yu'er, I really have to thank your imperial sister-in-law for this. I never thought that someone would use a human skin mask to pretend to be your mother-in-law."

When he said this, he looked up at Mrs. Li,

"Taifei Li, you have been wronged."

Mrs. Li took two steps forward and shook her head vigorously.

"If it hadn't been for your rescue this time, I would still be in the water prison in the imperial mausoleum. I would be bitten and tortured by snakes, insects, and rats every day. Maybe one day I would return to the West. When I was in the water prison, I thought, I might never be here again in this life. I have no chance to see the light of day. I pray in my heart every day, hoping that Yu'er can live well and that he will not be harmed..."

At this point, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. Seeing this, Yu'er couldn't help but ask:

"Concubine, that Li Rong, do you recognize her?"

Mrs. Li pondered for a while, bit her lip and nodded.

"Yes, once I met a bad person when I was going down the mountain to buy things. She saved me, so I regarded her as a good person. I really didn't expect that she approached me just to pretend to be me. I was too careless and too gullible. To others, it gave them an opportunity to take advantage of it and almost caused a catastrophe..."

At this point, she lowered her head in shame, and Luo Lan quickly comforted her softly:

"Concubine Li, don't worry too much about this. Nie Zhao and others will reap the consequences. This will also make those who are eyeing the imperial court have a long memory..."

Leng Yu took a deep breath and nodded solemnly,

"Empress, order us to go down and behead Nie Zhao and others at the Caishikou of the capital in three days. Let everyone see what will happen if they attempt to rebel. The laws of the Daning Kingdom are not something they can blaspheme at will."

"Yes."

He looked back at Luo Lan and asked gently:

"Lan'er, you haven't had a good rest these past few days. Go back to your room and rest early. I have some things to deal with."

Luo Lan looked at him and nodded tiredly,

"Then you should rest early."

She then looked at Mrs. Li,

"You go back to Yu'er Palace to rest first, and then ask someone to tidy up tomorrow before returning to Furong Palace."

Concubine Li nodded gratefully, and then left Fengyi Palace with Yu Er.

After Leng Yu told A Cai to take good care of Luo Lan, he took Qin Shun and others to the imperial study.

Everything returned to calm, but Luo Lan felt a little disappointed.

A Cai comforted her softly while combing her hair:

"Mother, are you in a bad mood?"

"I can't explain, I just feel a little tired. It's not that I'm tired, it's that my heart is tired. Ah Cai, to be honest, I've really had enough of staying in the harem. I feel like I can't breathe here. I feel very stuffy, very stuffy... …”

"Empress, please don't think so wildly. It's okay now. No one will dare to harm you in the future. You are the only one in charge of this harem. You have to be more open-minded..."

"Power and status are not important to me. My children have grown up. What I look forward to most now is to spend more time with my family. I really don't want to see the emperor having to deal with tedious court chores when he is old. Work hard..."

When she said this, the scene when they were in Prince Yu's Mansion appeared in her eyes. At that time, although Leng Yu was paralyzed on the bed, he belonged to her completely. He would not be invisible to her all day long like he is now. silhouette.

The more she thought about this, the more depressed she felt, and her breathing seemed to become difficult...

three days later

Nie Zhao, Li Rong, and several others who played an important role in the rebellion plan were all taken to Caishikou and beheaded, and the people in the capital applauded this.

Presumably from now on, no one would dare to spy on the throne, and no one would dare to rebel.

This matter can be considered to have come to an end.

After everything had settled and the palace returned to its usual tranquility, Leng Yu suddenly coughed uncontrollably.

In order not to worry Luo Lan, he secretly visited the imperial doctor, but was told by the imperial doctor that his illness was very similar to the illness the late emperor had before his death. The imperial doctor did not dare to elaborate, but Leng Yu guessed that his illness I'm afraid... I'm not going to die soon!

So he decided to use his last time to spend time with his Lan'er...

Three months later

Leng Xi came back from Dongyang Kingdom. He couldn't wait to enter the palace and share with Leng Yu the scenes of An An's marriage ceremony, but Leng Yu seemed to have no intention of listening.

Seeing his ugly face, Leng Xi looked at him puzzledly,

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?"

Leng Yu waved his hand feebly and ordered Qin Shun:

"Let everyone step back. I have something to discuss with Prince Xi."

"Yes."

After Qin Shun accepted the order, he immediately dismissed all the servants. Leng Xi looked at him with puzzled eyes again,

"What happened?"

Leng Yu raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times, then sighed.

"I have been looking forward to your return. Now that you are finally back, I have something very important to discuss with you."

Seeing his serious expression, Leng Xi knew the importance of this matter.

He pricked up his ears and nodded heavily,

"Fourth brother, please speak. I am all ears."

The corners of Leng Yu's lips moved slightly, and he pondered for a long time before slowly speaking,

"It's up to you to sit on this throne!"

Hearing this, Leng Xi stood up from his chair and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please tell me where I have done something wrong, Your Majesty."

Leng Yu hurriedly waved to him,

"Stand up. What I say to you today is definitely not child's play. I hope you will listen carefully."

Leng Xi looked at him confused, then stood up under his guidance and sat down on the chair again.

Leng Yu took a deep breath, met his gaze, and continued:

"I'm sick. I was afraid that the Queen would be worried, so I didn't dare to tell her. She was in a bad mood during this period, and I didn't want to cause any trouble to her."

Leng Xi hurriedly persuaded him,

"Sicknesses can be cured. The Emperor is in good health and there won't be any serious problems."

Before he could finish speaking, Leng Yu immediately waved his hand.

"Listen to what I have to say. I have sat on this throne for almost ten years. During these ten years, although I have not done anything earth-shattering, I have made the people live and work in peace and contentment and live a prosperous life. However, neither I nor the Queen are happy. We are tired of life in the palace. I have already thought about it. Now that the Daning Kingdom is peaceful and the people are safe, I will take Lan'er to change the living environment and enjoy the life that belongs to us..."

His words puzzled Leng Xi. Just as he was about to persuade him, Leng Yu continued:

"You don't need to persuade me. I have considered this matter for a long time and discussed it with Lele. He is not interested in the throne at all. After thinking about it, I still feel that after so many years of hard work, you can afford this throne. ."
