Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhang Yuan came back to report,

"Your Majesty, your Majesty went back directly to Prince Yu's Mansion, saying it was for the convenience of changing Prince Xi's dressing tomorrow."

Leng Yu's brows tightened, and then he waved his hands pretending not to care.

"Understood, back off."

"Yes."

After Zhang Yuan left, Leng Yu had no intention of reviewing the memorial anymore, and he suddenly felt a little irritable.

He confirmed in his heart that there might really be a problem between him and Luo Lan.

There seems to be a gap in their hearts.

He stood up from behind the dragon case and walked slowly to the door. When the eunuch on duty at the door was about to come up and ask him if he needed anything, he waved his hand directly.

"I want to go on my own, so don't follow me."

The eunuchs naturally bowed and stood there, and he walked toward the imperial garden alone, facing the night breeze.

It will be February in more than ten days, and starting from February, it will be spring.

Ordinarily, the current wind was not too cold, but he felt a chill all over his body.

He tightened his cloak and looked up at the sky.

There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes looking at him and spurring him on.

He knew that he and Luo Lan would never go back to the life they had before. This throne put too much pressure on him.

However, in order for the ancestors of the Leng family to feel at ease, he must protect the Daning Kingdom.

……

next morning

As soon as Luo Lan woke up from her sleep, she heard A Cai knocking on the door.

"Empress, Huaiyu is gone."

Hearing this, Luo Lan woke up instantly, and An An also woke up at this time.

She couldn't wait to ask at the door:

"Come in, where is Huaiyu?"

A Cai pushed open the door and entered with a letter in her hand.

"In the early morning, someone came from the palace to pick up Lele and Huaiyu to offer incense to the Supreme Emperor, but Huaiyu was missing. They were found in his room."

Luo Lan couldn't wait to take the letter, opened it, and saw Huaiyu's handwriting appearing in front of her eyes.

"Mom, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Thank you for letting me call you mom for 14 years. In these 14 years, your love for me has never been less than that of my own mother. However, under the instigation of others, I did this I've done something wrong. I know I'm ashamed of you and my father. Please say sorry to me and my father. I'm leaving. I'm going to find a quiet place to wash away the sins on my body. Please take good care of me. Myself, one day I will come back to see you, dad, and my brothers and sisters.

Huaiyu’s own handwriting, don’t read it! "

Looking at the familiar font and the contents of the letter, Luo Lan suddenly burst into tears.

She couldn't believe that yesterday Huaiyu called her mother affectionately in front of her, but this morning, he left without saying goodbye.

No wonder he kowtowed to himself and admitted his mistake last night?

She suddenly felt that she was really stupid, and she didn't even think that there was a reason for Huaiyu to do that.

"When did he leave? How long has he been gone?"

A Cai shook his head,

"I just asked the people at the door, and they said he went out before dawn."

Luo Lan held the letter in his hand and anxiously walked around in circles, muttering,

"Where can this kid go?"

Seeing this, An An took two steps forward and said carefully:

"Mom, I know where he went."

Hearing this, Luo Lan looked back at her in astonishment.

"You know? Where did he go?"

An An pursed her lips, "He said he was going to Ducheng to find his uncle."

Ducheng?

"Why didn't you tell me last night?"

"He won't let..."

Luo Lan let out a long sigh,

"It would be a good thing if he can go to Ducheng. Ah Cai, send a letter to the Zhang family in Ducheng and tell Dazhi that if you see Huaiyu, write me a letter to report that you are safe."

Ah Cai nodded in agreement,

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

An An stood there and said aggrievedly:

"Mom, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but Huaiyu won't let me tell you. Are you angry with me?"

Luo Lan looked back at her,

"An'an, don't be so strange to mom in the future. Mom won't get angry easily. What you were like with mom before will be the same in the future, you know?"

An An nodded heavily, "Mom, I understand."

"Okay, Mom is leaving. I'll see you later."

"Mom, I'll take you out."

Luo Lan turned around, looked at her cute and handsome face, and said dotingly:

"Don't give it away. Ask the girl to wash your face and dress you up. Look at your little face, it's almost like a little cat."

An An stuck out her tongue and nodded, "Mom, please walk slowly. Remember, come back to see me from time to time."

Luo Lan looked at her and nodded with a smile. Ah Hong hurriedly came over to help her straighten her hair, put on her cloak, and then followed her out the door.

……

?In the longevity palace.

Leng Yu took the lead in offering incense to the late Emperor, followed closely by Leng Ming, and the rest began to offer incense one after another.

After taking turns to offer incense, Leng Zian sighed,

"Your Majesty, originally the emperor's uncle planned to send my brother the emperor on his last journey before embarking on the road, but the emperor's uncle made such careful calculations. My [-]-strong army was camped outside the capital, and the cost was really high. Plus, it’s been a month and a half since I’ve been back and forth, and I’m really worried about my family, so I thought about going back first.”

"Uncle Emperor, are you leaving in a hurry? Don't worry, I will arrange the expenses for everyone under your command."

Leng Zian waved his hand directly,

"That's not what you said. Even if I stay one more night, my imperial brother has already traveled westward. Watching him buried is hard for me to accept. Just think that I am escaping!"

At this point, he sighed sadly. Seeing this, Leng Yu no longer stopped him, but clasped his fists with both hands and said:

"In this case, my nephew will no longer keep you."

"There is no need to keep it. By the way, Xiaozhi asked me to bring something to the Queen. I have already ordered people to send it to Fengyi Palace. You can tell her later that Xiaozhi misses her very much. If you have a chance to come, Jiangnan, don’t forget to go to Zhennan Prince’s Mansion to see him.”

"I will convey it truthfully."

Leng Zian looked at Huang Shixiong again, stretched out his fist, and punched Huang Shixiong's fist, and then said with a hearty smile:

"Brother Huang, I don't know when we will see you next time, but we agreed that when we see you next time, we must not get drunk and never come back. I didn't have enough fun last night."

Huang Shixiong nodded in response,

"Okay, let's make an agreement here. When we meet next time, we won't go home until we get drunk. Do you agree, Mr. Liu?"

Liu Dechang sighed and nodded,

"We are thousands of miles away, and it is not easy to meet you two! You two have a good journey. If you have a chance, Mr. Liu will come and discuss with you!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay."

Seeing that these two were getting ready to leave, Meng Letu also came forward to say goodbye.

"I am deeply honored to have the honor to meet you here today. I hope that you will have the opportunity to come to Chu State in the future. I will treat you warmly when you do."

"Thank you so much, King Chu. Let's say goodbye here!"

Meng Letu turned around and clasped his fists at Leng Yu.

"Your Majesty, I'm going back too. We'll see you later."

With regret, Leng Yu stepped forward and cupped his fists:

"Letu, this time you came, I didn't even have time to say a few words to you. This time, there are a lot of facts in the palace. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely come again. Then, we will have a detailed discussion."

"Okay, from now on, Ning and Chu will have good relations. We can meet and say goodbye at any time."

After saying that, Meng Letu, Huang Shixiong, and Leng Zian walked outside together.
