Chapter 232: Yanyan's Fire
Seeing Leng Xi speaking for Luo Lan again, the emperor looked at him with a frown on his displeasure face, and shouted:
"I haven't treated you for taking Ming'er out of the palace without permission, causing him to be seriously injured, do you think you can escape the blame?"
Hearing this, Concubine Li's eyes rolled, and she glanced at Leng Xi and said reproachfully:
"Xi'er, Ming'er is your younger brother, it's your responsibility to not protect him well, now punish you for guarding outside his door, don't go quickly."
Obviously, Concubine Li is excusing Leng Xi, she is afraid that the emperor will cure Leng Xi's sin, so she will strike first, after all, she has won the emperor's favor, she can say a few words casually, as long as it is harmless, the emperor will also give her some thin noodles.
Leng Xi frowned, and was about to speak, when Concubine Li glared at him again and yelled:
"Don't you listen to the words of the mother? Stand down. ”
Seeing this, Leng Xi glanced at Luo Lan, and said to her with a resolute look in his eyes:
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Xi'er is always on your side, and Xi'er believes in you."
When the words fell, he glanced at the emperor and Concubine Li, did not salute again, and turned to leave.
Leng Xi is such a person, people who are used to seeing him like to play with a hippie smile, and people who are not used to seeing him, even if it is his father and mother, he just stays away.
Looking at the back of him leaving, the emperor pointed at him with some annoyance, "Look, Concubine Ai, this kid Xi'er really spoils you." ”
Concubine Li pursed the corners of her mouth and said coquettishly:
"Your Majesty, don't you also spoil Xi'er, this child is like this, the child's temper is actually good-hearted, he is closer to Ming'er than to my mother."
After saying this, she looked at Concubine Chang and asked with a smile:
"Yes, Sister Chang."
Concubine Chang's face was pale, she really couldn't see Concubine Li's coquettish appearance in front of the emperor, she couldn't learn, she couldn't do it, and she didn't dare, if she spoke like that, twisted her body like that, the emperor would definitely reprimand her for being taunting.
She straightened her face, nodded darkly, and said mockingly:
"Concubine Li is right, the relationship between Xi'er and Ming'er is much better than that of us adults."
"Alright."
Seeing that Concubine Chang had the smell of gunpowder in her words, the emperor interrupted them with some dissatisfaction, and continued to look at Luo Lan Dao:
"Since Princess Yu doesn't want to talk about it, then I won't force you, although you have merit in healing Ming'er's injury this time, but Ming'er was taken by you and Yu'er privately on the way to see the lanterns, and I won't cure your sin, even if it is a merit or demerit."
Luo Lan fixed his expression, and bowed with an indifferent expression,
"Luo Lan understands that if nothing happens, Luo Lan will retire."
As she spoke, she took two slow steps back and turned to leave.
She didn't want to explain, because there was nothing to explain, and she didn't want to talk much, Ming'er was injured when she went out with them, they didn't protect him well, they did have a responsibility, this is understandable, as for treating Ming'er's injuries, she sincerely wanted to save him, nothing else, she didn't need the gratitude of others, and she didn't need the emperor's reward.
After leaving the main hall of the palace, the sky had already darkened, Ah Cai and Ah Hong hurriedly followed, and asked in a low voice,
"Princess, what's wrong with you? You don't look good? ”
She chuckled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'm a little tired, I'll go sleep for a while, and I'll be fine tomorrow." ”
Ah Cai pursed the corners of her mouth and asked softly:
"That Chang Guifei didn't embarrass you anymore, did she? And the emperor, why did he bring two concubines to our Yuwang Mansion? Looking at their aggressive looks, they don't want to trouble you, do they? ”
Ah Cai and Ah Hong were worried that the emperor would be embarrassed to leave her alone.
Luo Lan shook his head and chuckled as he walked, muttering in his mouth,
"There are not a few people who want to trouble me and Xianggong, and the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it, so what can I do."
The emperor's question just now, as well as Concubine Chang's mocking eyes, made her have a hunch that this time the emperor brought two concubines to come, not simply to see Ming'er.
When she was walking distractedly, she was caught off guard and crashed directly into a generous embrace, and then a gentle voice sounded in her ears,
"Lan'er, what's wrong?"
She looked up in a panic, and when she saw Leng Yu's familiar face, the corners of her mouth suddenly rose, and a bright smile appeared on her face, she threw herself into his arms, wrapped her hands around his waist, and murmured softly:
"No, when I see Xianggong, I'm not afraid of anything."
Looking at her delicate and helpless appearance, Leng Yu's heart was a little worried,
Caressing her hair, she whispered:
"Have they embarrassed you?"
"Nope."
She shook her head slightly, "But I think it's going to be fast." ”
Speaking of this, she shook her head and smiled bitterly, raised her head and looked at Leng Yu, "Have you arranged everything?" ”
He lowered his lips and kissed her lightly on the forehead, then nodded, "Okay, but the emperor and the two concubines are coming to Princess Yu, I have to accompany you for a while, you go back to rest first, and I will come back to accompany you after arranging them." ”
She pursed her lips and climbed up to his neck, nodding coquettishly,
"Okay, Xianggong go get busy, I'll go back to sleep first, and you come back and call me."
As she spoke, she secretly pinched his waist with her jade hand, and whispered with hot air:
"Stay with me tonight."
Fortunately, Ah Cai and Ah Hong were far enough away, otherwise, these words would definitely make them laugh.
Leng Yu put his head on her head, nodded slightly, raised his hand and patted her slightly cool little face, and murmured softly,
"Go back and take a hot shower, then go to sleep, and I'll be back in a while."
When the words fell, he said to Ah Hong and Ah Cai who were not far away:
"Send the princess back to the room, prepare hot water for her to bathe, and wait for her to sleep."
Ah Cai and Ah Hong nodded hurriedly in response, and Luo Lan removed the hands wrapped around his waist, and after winking at him slyly, he pretended to be reluctant, and muttered softly:
"Then I'll go first, and you come back early."
Looking at her petite appearance, Leng Yu could only shake her head and smile bitterly.
His lady, just like the changeable little fairy, sometimes gentle as water, sometimes arrogant, sometimes serious, sometimes playful and cute, in short, she is a fickle little lady, let him can't stop, the little woman who can't be loved.
After returning to the room, Ah Cai and Ah Hong put the bath water away and then retreated, before leaving, Luo Lan told them not to tell them not to come in, she was too tired these days, she wanted to soak for a while.
Sitting in the warm tub, looking at the scattered rose petals floating in the water, the corners of Luo Lan's mouth flashed a wry smile.
Rose petal bathing, that is the sense of ritual that only everyone needs to be beautiful, but I don't know where Ah Cai got the dried rose pieces, she thinks it is most likely from a tea shop.
But sitting in the warm water, smelling the fragrance of the roses, she suddenly felt that the exhaustion of her body suddenly disappeared without a trace.
She tried to restrain herself from thinking about tomorrow, because she had a bad premonition that something big would happen tomorrow, and in the few days when the future emperor lived in Yuwangfu.
Thinking about it, she actually sat in the bathtub and fell asleep, and this sleep, the events of the past and this life appeared in her dreams in turn.
