Chapter 452: Since Ancient Times, kings have been afraid of death
After saying these words, Liu Dechang breathed a sigh of relief helplessly, he has followed the emperor for many years, he knows better than anyone else about the emperor's moodiness, and the emperor's one-man dictatorship and indecisiveness are unmatched, but he didn't expect that Leng Yu had just returned from the battle, and he imprisoned him in the prison, which was really a bit unsatisfactory.
But as a minister, he couldn't help but listen to the emperor's will, so he had to hurry back to the barracks.
As soon as he left with his front foot, Xiao Lingzi and the others hurried to Yuwang's Mansion, and they met Luo Lan, who was just about to go out.
"Princess Yu, the prince is imprisoned in the prison, what should I do?"
Seeing the anxious faces of these people, Luo Lan knew that if they were not appeased, they would even be able to rob the prison.
So, she bit her lip lightly, and hurriedly persuaded calmly:
"Don't worry, I'll go into the palace now to find out the situation, and I'll tell you when there is news, now you hurry back to the barracks, don't mess around."
The little twins waved the fist in their hands, and said in a menacing hatred:
"The prince has been fighting in the army for five years, how much he has suffered, only our brothers can see, this has just come back, the emperor not only did not give him a celebration, but put him in prison, what is the reason?"
Luo Lan knew that they were in a hurry, she was also in a hurry, she was more anxious than anyone else, so what could be done? The emperor's decision is not something that anyone can easily change.
So, she patiently persuaded again:
"The emperor is the emperor after all, who dares not to obey his orders? He may think that after receiving his will, the prince still insisted on releasing the people of Chu out of the city privately, and he simply ignored him, so he was angry, and when his emotions calmed down in a few days, he would let the prince come back. ”
Ah Yu waved his arms there, and said angrily:
"If the prince doesn't do this, then the war between the two countries will not end, and he thinks that he can sit back and relax by killing Meng Letu? Has he forgotten that only a small number of Chu people have entered the capital now, and there are still a large number of people in Chu who have not moved, and if he is still the emperor, he will not focus on the overall situation and consider the long-term? ”
"Ah Yu, don't talk nonsense."
Luo Lan looked at Ah Yu with a gloomy face, and continued to say in a deep voice:
"Everyone understands this truth, but you can only think about it in your heart, and you can't say it, otherwise you will harm everyone, and I don't want to hear it again in the future."
Ah Yu lowered her head a little ashamedly, and the rest of the people looked at her in a daze, Ah Hou pursed her mouth, clenched her fists and said bluntly:
"Princess, what do you think we should do now? Is it just waiting? Will the prince be in danger? ”
Luo Lan raised her dark beautiful eyes and looked at her, and said with a calm face:
"The prince is the prince at all times, no one dares to bully him, even if he is in the prison, he will not be in danger, I will now enter the palace to inquire about the situation, you must not mess around during this period, all matters, wait for me to come back."
After saying this, she raised her feet and walked towards the gate, and Ah Cai and Ah Hong followed behind her with solemn faces.
Sitting in the carriage, Luo Lan's mood was extremely complicated, she would never have thought that tonight's family banquet would end like this.
Her eyes were slightly closed, and her mind was in turmoil.
Why did she think that the happy life that was about to start would come to an abrupt end?
She knew that the emperor was ruthless, but she didn't expect to be so ruthless, Leng Yu returned from the battle, and he didn't even let him go home, so he was directly imprisoned in the prison?
Even if he makes a big mistake, can't he compensate for the demerits?
Thinking of this, she let out a long sigh, and her heart was blocked in panic.
Leng Yu was imprisoned in the prison, and the happiest person was Concubine Li, who immediately asked people to notify Leng Xi and asked him to enter the palace quickly and ask the emperor for guilt.
Leng Xi took a step before Luo Lan came to the door of the imperial study, and as soon as he entered the door, he knelt directly on his knees, and his pale face looked like a serious illness had not been cured.
The emperor looked up at him, frowned and asked:
"Since you're not feeling well, don't come to say hello."
Although the emperor's words were cold, he did not mean to be harsh, which made Leng Xi's heart feel a lot more stable.
He hurriedly raised his hands, clasped his fists and kowtowed, and replied:
"Erchen is stupid, he didn't see through the tricks of the Chu people, please ask his father to punish him, and Erchen is willing to go to the prison to be punished."
At the mention of the word Heavenly Prison, the emperor directly thought of Leng Yu, he suddenly gritted his teeth and panted, and roared urgently:
"Leng Yu has been imprisoned in the prison, do you want to be his companion?"
Seeing that the emperor's face was slightly angry, Leng Xi's face sank for a moment, and then he lowered his hand and explained uneasily:
"Father's forgiveness, the son really saw that his father was sick, and he was in a hurry, so he mistakenly believed the words of the Chu people, fortunately, after watching his father take the pill, his body improved, and the son's heart was more stable, but because of the son's negligence, the Chu people were in the capital for a long time, if it wasn't for the mother's timely action, Xiaobao's life would be lost, and the son felt that all this was the fault of the son, please punish the son and the emperor heavily!"
When Leng Xi said this, his eyes were firm, as if he was telling something very important.
The emperor looked at him with half-squinted eyes, this son has a changeable personality, and after so many years, he is the most incomprehensible person.
But he mistakenly believed the slander of the people of Chu because of his own health, how could he blame him?
The emperor sighed and waved his hand slightly,
"That's it, it's those Chu people who hide too deeply, I don't blame you, by the way, is there still that little pill? When I eat it, I feel energetic, can that really make people immortal? You get me some more ......."
His words made Leng Xi's brows tighten, his mother had already told him that his father's mother used all kinds of means to make his father get his wish in order to let him sit on this throne, so what he was most afraid of was that his life would not be long.
Now it seems that the mother's words make sense, the father heard about this elixir of immortality, and began to open his mouth to ask him for it, it seems that as long as he puts some effort into this, he will be able to make his father happy, as long as his father is happy, then everything will be easy.
Thinking of this, he secretly grinned at the corner of his mouth, bowed down and clenched his fists, and replied heartily:
"Father rest assured, the son has mastered the method of medicine, as long as the father takes this medicine for a long time, he will definitely be able to prolong his life, and the pine and cypress will be evergreen."
The emperor was very happy to hear the words prolonging life, and he swept away the gloomy mood when he mentioned the people of Chu just now, and immediately grinned hahahaha.
After laughing, he looked at Leng Xi with longing eyes, half-squinted his eyes, and nodded proudly in the spring breeze,
"Okay, Xi'er is still sensible, for the sake of your filial piety, this time I will not pursue the matter of letting the people of Chu live in Xiwang's Mansion by mistake, after you go back, you must prepare more pills for me to prolong your life."
Listening to the emperor's words, Leng Xi despised the emperor in his heart, and then clenched his fists and replied seriously:
"Rest assured, for the sake of my father's longevity and the stability of the Daning Kingdom, my sons and daughters will do their best."
As soon as Leng Xi's words fell, Leng Ming didn't wait for the word to spread, and strode in.
When the emperor saw him, he asked with a cold face:
"What's the matter with you? Why didn't you wait for someone to report and trespass? ”
