Chapter 247: The sun sets
These words came from the mouth of Concubine Chang, which made Luo Lan angry when she heard it, she felt that she couldn't bear it, and after thinking for a while, she raised her beautiful eyes, glanced at Concubine Chang, and said sharply word by word:
"Isn't what Concubine Chang said contradictory? When you first let me enter the mansion, you said that no matter whether the prince is alive or dead, I will enter the mansion as a concubine, and now I can't change my hexagram just because the prince is still alive, right? Doesn't the royal man even talk? ”
After saying this, she glanced at everyone and said sharply:
"I'm Princess Yu, which of you here doesn't know? Not only that, but I am afraid that the whole capital knows that the emperor and Chang Guifei are not afraid that the people in the capital will laugh at the royal people who are cold and ruthless? ”
"Bold."
Seeing that Luo Lan's words were like needles, Concubine Chang hurriedly raised her hand and scolded:
"Shui Luolan, it was the beginning, and now it is now, with your identity as a country girl, you just can't be a concubine, it's not an exaggeration to say where this is going, don't want to climb the branches and be a phoenix."
"Luo Lan is not a country girl."
As soon as Concubine Chang Guifei's words fell, a subtle but slightly old voice sounded in everyone's ears, and everyone including the emperor went to look for prestige, only to see Shui Youcai under the leadership of Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi, and came to the main hall of the palace.
Seeing his uncle who he hadn't seen for half a year, Luo Lan's heart couldn't be explained.
"Uncle ......"
She was just about to step forward, but was stopped by Shui Youcai raising his hand, his face had never been so serious, and his eyes had never been so solemn.
He didn't look at Luo Lan, but looked at the emperor with straight eyes, and then walked quickly to the middle of the main hall, couldn't help but say, and knelt directly on the ground, "Your Majesty, Cao Minshui has something to say." ”
Seeing that the emperor's face was a little ugly, Concubine Chang shouted a little angrily:
"Come on, blast this unknown person out, the management of this Yuwang Mansion is really too loose, how can anyone come in?"
Xiao Lingzi and Xiao Shuangzi stood at the door of the main hall like two stone statues, naturally no one dared to take a step forward, and Luo Lan said directly and loudly:
"He's not an idle man, he's my uncle."
Hearing this, the emperor glanced at Shui Youcai, who was kneeling in front of the hall, his brows furrowed even tighter, and after a while, he raised his hand and said slowly:
"Even though you are her uncle, you can't go straight to my royal front without a message, are you guilty?"
Hearing the emperor say this, the always timid water has no fear, on the contrary, he said directly without changing his face and without running away:
"The grass people came this time, and it is naturally related to Princess Yu's affairs, so I also ask the emperor to allow the grass people to finish their words."
Shui Youcai's words made Luo Lan a little surprised, maybe her uncle came to intercede for him, but coming to the emperor to intercede is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it will not work at all, uncle is really reckless this time.
So she glanced at Leng Yu, she suspected that Leng Yu had arranged this, but Leng Yu also shook her head at her without knowing it.
The emperor frowned a little impatiently and waved his hand:
"If you have something to say, it's noon, I'm a little tired."
Obviously, the emperor didn't want to talk more with this unattractive and rustic Shui Youcai.
Shui Youcai fumbled in his cuffs for a long time, and then he took a silver lock in his hand and said to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, Luo Lan is true that I brought it home, but she was not picked up by me, but someone handed her over to me to raise, and she is not an unidentified person, on the contrary, according to the grass people's guess, her parents should be either rich or noble, as can be seen from this long-life lock."
The longevity lock in his hand was exactly before Shui Chunhua got it to the emperor three days ago, but at this time, this longevity lock has been renewed, and it is still shining silver.
The emperor glanced at the longevity lock, and said with some displeasure:
"It's just your guess, you just rely on your guess to come to me and say that she is extraordinary, you are really bold enough."
Shui Youcai shook his head directly and loudly denied:
"Your Majesty, the grass people didn't dare to come rashly, the grass people could guess her identity, so they dared to come to you to say this."
His words made Luo Lan stunned for a while, she glanced at Leng Yu, and then came to Shui Youcai, and said in a low voice with some concern:
"Uncle, don't talk nonsense here for me, you go back quickly, I'm fine."
Shui Youcai glanced up at Luo Lan, shook his head vigorously, and before he could speak, his eyes instantly turned red.
Seeing this, the emperor asked directly:
"Shui Youcai, since you know about this, then tell me, what is her identity? But if you say something wrong, or lie to me, you are guilty of deception, and I will not spare you. ”
The emperor's words became extremely harsh, Shui Youcai listened, raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, as if he had made a lot of determination, and just about to speak, Leng Yu stood behind him, raised his voice and reminded:
"Shui Youcai, Princess Yu's affairs have nothing to do with you, if you are not completely sure, don't get involved, so as not to harm your family."
Leng Yu knew that his uncle was quite concerned about Luo Lan in the past, so he didn't want him to blindly say something unrealistic in order to help Luo Lan.
Shui Youcai seemed to have made up his mind, he glanced at Leng Yu, with a hint of relief in his eyes, and then turned to the emperor and said:
"The grass people have thought about it before they came, and today they will say the words that have been held in their stomachs for more than ten years, which can be regarded as an explanation to Luo Lan."
Speaking of this, he stroked the silver lock in his hand and said slowly:
"Seventeen years ago, when I went to the mountains to cut wood, I met a woman, she was holding a baby in her arms, she looked very panicked, I saw this, I thought she was in trouble, so I went to inquire, but she said that the child was hunted down by the enemy, and she was afraid that she would not be able to protect her, so she begged me if I could take the child home first, and she would find an opportunity to pick up the child again."
Speaking of this, Shui Youcai seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, his expression became a little solemn, and he continued:
"Seeing people in difficulty, how can I not help, besides, I was married to my mother for many years, and I have not been pregnant, and picking up a child halfway is also a good thing, so I took the child home, but I did not tell my mother the truth, I was afraid that she would be afraid that there would be an enemy to come to the child for revenge, I only said that the child was picked up."
Hearing this, Luo Lan only felt that her blood was surging up her brain, although this was the mystery of the original owner's life experience, it was also inseparable from her, because now she was the original owner, and the original owner was her.
The emperor glanced at Shui Youcai and continued to ask:
"And then?"
Shui Youcai nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead again and continued:
"Then the woman never showed up, so I went out secretly to inquire, and when I heard that the woman who had given me the child had died, and that she had been shot to death, I was a little frightened, and I thought that if it was known that I had taken this child in, someone would have come to kill us, and I would not dare to mention it again."
Speaking of this, he seemed to think of the scene back then, and raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Luo Lan listened to his words, and seemed to have a feeling of being in a fog.
The emperor also looked at him with surprise on his face, and said:
"The kid you're talking about is Shui Luolan?"
