Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Chapter 996: The Imperial Edict That Makes People Desperate

"what?"

When she heard this, Luo Lan staggered back two steps. If A Hong hadn't come over quickly to help her, she would have fallen to the ground.

She looked at her father with disbelief,

"Dad, does he really want to do this?"

Liu Dechang sighed and nodded,

"Well, today, several important officials in the imperial court discussed this matter together. This is the final result, and it is also a result that can convince the public."

Luo Lan was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned around like crazy,

"No, I'm going to find him. I'm going to find out."

"Lan'er..."

Liu Dechang raised his voice to remind,

"You will be disappointed when you go. This matter has been decreed."

"No matter what, I'm going to find out."

Thinking of this, she turned around and ordered A Hong and A Cai:

"Prepare the car and return to the palace immediately."

Ah Hong and Ah Cai didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly prepared the carriage. The three of them went straight to the palace.

Luo Lan has not returned to the palace for a month. Although Leng Yu misses her, he refrains from looking for her.

As the king of a country, he had to set an example and express his position on some matters.

At this time, he was sitting in the Yangxin Hall, waiting quietly for Luo Lan to come to him.

According to his prediction, it was time for her to come.

Sure enough, Qin Shun's voice came from outside,

"Mother, are you back? Just wait a moment while I go to inform the emperor."

"No need."

Luo Lan ignored Qin Shun's obstruction and the palace rules and etiquette. She just wanted to see Leng Yu quickly and ask him why he was so cruel to Huai Yu?

The sound of her rapid footsteps came in. Leng Yu lowered his head deliberately and flipped through the book in his hand casually.

"Leng Yu, why did you do this? Huaiyu just made an unintentional mistake, and his crime is not worthy of death. Why did you let him die?"

Leng Yu put down the book in his hand and looked at her with a calm expression.

"The crime of deceiving the emperor is not punishable by death? Which country's law are you following?"

"Even if he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, it was an unintentional act. I have said before that no matter what, even for my sake, I must leave him a way to live. You can imprison him for a few years, and maybe let him Why do we have to use the heaviest punishment?"

"He has to pay the price for what he has done. There is no mercy."

Luo Lan looked at him with unfamiliar eyes, and suddenly smiled mockingly,

"Leng Yu, you are so cruel. Huaiyu has grown up beside us since he was born. I thought you would treat him differently from his biological father. I never expected that you would take this opportunity to kill him." You really... really disappointed me."

Leng Yu's eyes flashed with distress, and then he sighed,

"The matter has come to this. It's useless for you to talk more. I can give you a chance to meet him, that's all."

Luo Lan bit her lip, glanced at Leng Yu with hatred, turned around, took long steps, and left here.

Looking at her angry back, Leng Yu shook his head helplessly,

"Lan'er, I hope you can understand my good intentions."

……

The night is quiet and cool.

Luo Lan, who was walking in the palace, felt that the weather was a bit sultry. She kept tearing at her collar and cried as she walked without caring about her image.

She couldn't figure it out, Leng Yu was the emperor and he could obviously let Huai Yu go, so why did he insist on punishing him? Did he not consider her feelings at all when he made this decree?

It turned out that she was being sentimental. She thought that if she lived out for a month and protested in this way, he would treat Huaiyu leniently.

It seemed that she overestimated her position in his heart.

After returning to Fengyi Palace, she dismissed everyone, leaving herself to sit there in a daze.

She only has one thought now, she wants to save Huaiyu, no matter what the cost, she will do it.

She needs to think about it carefully...

At this moment, Ah Hong came in and announced,

"Mother, Eunuch Qin is here."

She immediately snorted coldly,

"Go back, I have a headache."

"He said that he came to see you. It has nothing to do with the emperor. He must see you."

Has nothing to do with the emperor?

She knew that Leng Yu's imperial edict had been issued, and it was too late to say anything.

But since Qin Shun deliberately mentioned that it had nothing to do with the emperor, there must be something going on.

She waved her hands feebly,

"Invite him in."

After Ah Hong accepted the order, he brought Qin Shun to her.

"Your Majesty, I came here today because I thought of something."

"Eunuch Qin, I am feeling depressed right now. If there is nothing important, please go back!"

"Mother, no matter what, you have to listen to what I have to say."

Luo Lan waved his hands impatiently,

"If you want to say it, just say it!"

Qin Shun frowned and replied in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, the Emperor had no choice but to do what Mr. Huaiyu did. Don't blame her. I'm here today and want to tell you a story."

"Eunuch Qin, you don't have to worry about the affairs of this palace and the emperor. I don't want to listen to your stories now. You can go back!"

Eunuch Qin spoke directly without hesitation,

"The previous emperor ruined the government because he was greedy for the beauty of a woman. The queen mother of the previous dynasty was so angry that she casually charged her with a crime and put her in a dungeon to be executed on a certain day. For this reason, the previous emperor ordered her to be killed. He didn't think about food and drinks, and couldn't afford to be sick. Later, someone told him that since the Queen Mother wanted to execute this woman on the street, it would be better to let her die in prison. This would at least allow her to die with dignity..."

Qin Shun's words made Luo Lan even more angry. She pointed at him directly,

"Qin Shun, what do you mean by this? Do you want Huaiyu to die directly in the prison?"

Qin Shun immediately bowed and saluted.

"Empress, I'm here to remind you that Master Huaiyu's execution is an unchangeable fact. However, you are the number one female doctor in Daning Kingdom. If you want to do something about it, it won't be easy!"

After saying this, he saluted again, turned around, and walked out quickly with small steps.

His words left Luo Lan stunned.

After pondering for a long time, she suddenly seemed to think of something and called to the people outside:

"Ah Hong and Ah Cai, go and prepare some food for me. I'm going to the prison..."

After saying that, she couldn't wait to get up and paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

There must be a reason for Qin Shun's arrival.

What he just said to her must be a hint to her.

She has also learned something from it...

After a while, Ah Hong and Ah Cai followed her, carrying the food boxes, and hurried to the prison of the Criminal Division.

This place is no better than the Heavenly Prison in Shuntian Mansion. The prisoners held here are all prisoners who have some official positions in the court or are related to the royal family.

At the door of the sky prison, after Ah Hong showed her token, the three of them entered the sky prison smoothly.

At this time, Huaiyu was sitting cross-legged on a pile of weeds with a calm expression, closing his eyes and thinking about something.

Seeing Huaiyu's embarrassed look, Luo Lan's heart hurt as if someone had cut out a piece of flesh.

She held back her tears and ordered the prison head to open the lock.

"Huaiyu..."

The sound of the lock opening, mixed with Luo Lan's voice, reached his ears.

Huaiyu hurriedly opened his eyes. When he saw Luo Lan, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Queen, why are you here?"
