Chapter 535: A Night of Reluctance
Regarding the loss and recovery of the treasury silver, Luo Lan had already known something from Zhang Yuan and Xiao Shuangzi, and she also knew that Leng Yu was going to personally escort the silver to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so she expected that Leng Yu would definitely come to her tonight.
Sure enough, she guessed correctly, she had just changed the medicine in the drip bottle for the emperor, and there was a knock on the door.
"Princess, the prince is here."
The corners of Luo Lan's mouth rose slightly, she turned around calmly, lifted her skirt and walked towards the door.
When she pushed the door open, Leng Yu's long figure was standing with his back to her, as if he was thinking about something.
After waving her hand to Zhang Yuan and Xiaotanzi, who were just about to speak, she quietly came behind him, and when he didn't realize it, she covered his face with her hands and asked in a coquettish voice:
"Guess who I am?"
The corners of Leng Yu's mouth flashed with a warm smile, his hands on the jade hands, and he covered the jade hands on his lips, closing his eyes and kissing lightly, while muttering,
"This voice belongs to the lady Lan'er I think about day and night."
Luo Lan pursed her mouth, walked around from behind him to the front, and muttered coquettishly,
"Let you guess, guess at once, what's the point?"
Seeing that she was a little displeased, Leng Yu raised her eyebrows and comforted softly with apologies:
"That'...... Why don't you do it all over again?
"Don't, boring, say, are you here to say goodbye to me?"
Leng Yu stepped forward and took her hand, "Can you talk in a different place?" There are a lot of people here, and it is inconvenient. ”
"Let's go to the back garden, I haven't been there in a long time. ”
"Hmm."
Leng Yu took her hand and walked towards the back garden.
Tonight's night is so beautiful, tonight's moon is very round, two people walking on the stone path of the Imperial Garden, but they have no intention of appreciating this beautiful scenery, their backs, under the background of this faint moonlight, seem a little lonely, their hearts, have unspeakable reluctance.
They came to the creek and sat down hand in hand, Luo Lan leaned her head on Leng Yu's shoulder, even though she was very reluctant in her heart, she still couldn't help but ask:
"Tomorrow...... Want to go far away? ”
Leng Yu pursed his lips and nodded a little unbearably,
"Well, there is a lot of silver to escort this time, and there are a lot of people who need to be resettled, I want to escort it in person and supervise the resettlement of the people in person, I don't worry about others."
Although she knew that this would be the answer, Luo Lan still felt a feeling of emptiness welling up in her heart.
What he wants to do, there must be a reason for him, Luo Lan did not open his mouth to dissuade him, but nodded directly,
"Well, how long will it take to get back?"
Leng Yu put his hand on her shoulder, took her whole person in his arms, thought for a while, and replied cautiously:
"Now I'm not sure, it's expected to take at least one to two years, and this time, I'm going to have to work hard for you again."
Hearing this, Luo Lan's heart sank, but thinking that he was also a helpless move for the people, he could only nod,
"Last time, I didn't say five years, this time I hope it won't be too long, you have to go early and return early."
Leng Yu knew that if he left again, Lan Er would definitely be unhappy, he tightened the hand on her shoulder, and watched the jade-like moonlight shine into the water with her, and he couldn't tell the feeling in his heart.
After being silent for a long time, Luo Lan suddenly spoke,
"Father-in-law Liu was assassinated."
This sudden sentence made Leng Yu's forehead kink together instantly, and he pulled Luo Lan up from his shoulders and looked at her with a surprised face,
"Father-in-law Liu was assassinated? When was this? Where is it? ”
"Last night, I knew that you were busy dealing with the treasury and the disaster victims in the past few days, and you were already anxious, so I didn't let Zhang Yuan notify you, so as not to worry about you, but since you are here, I want to talk to you."
"Can you see who the other party is? Did they want to assassinate the emperor and hurt Gonggong Liu? ”
"No, their purpose is very clear, it is Gonggong Liu, and besides, Gonggong Liu has been poisoned by their silver needle and is recuperating in the ear room on the edge of the Heart Cultivation Palace."
Luo Lan's words made Leng Yu's eyes flash a few dark glances, and he muttered in his mouth,
"Why did they kill Gonggong Liu? Gonggong Liu is a person close to the emperor, he rarely goes out of the palace, and he rarely offends others, the assassins came specifically for him, presumably, the ultimate goal is still for the emperor. ”
"I think so too, but why did they leave after stabbing Grandpa Liu? And if they really want to assassinate the emperor, they can bring more people, why only two people? Are they here to get to the bottom of it? ”
Leng Yu frowned slightly, turned his head, met her eyes, and said with concern:
"Lan'er, I always feel that after I leave, it seems that something big will happen, you must be very careful, you remember, once there is a change in the palace, you only need to protect yourself, and you don't have to take care of the rest, I will take care of it."
"Xianggong ......"
"Don't worry about me, do what I say, I have my own ideas."
Leng Yu's eyes that were not deep suddenly flashed a determined look, his woman, the country of Daning, he swore to protect it to the death.
"Okay, everything is fair."
Luo Lan snuggled into his arms again, the sky was like a star, the beauty was like jade, the wind was blowing clothes, and the two of them at this time were like sitting in the vast galaxy.
Through the moonlight, the shadow of the two of them is reflected, so harmonious, so beautiful, a pair of fairy couples who have landed in the world......
In the early morning of the next day, Leng Yu talked with Lin Dong and Ah Yu and Empress A for a long time in the camp tent, and no one knew what they said.
As soon as the hour passed, the order to set off came from outside, Leng Yu patted Ah Yu and Ah Hou on the shoulder, and looked at them with a serious face,
"Let's go, the victims are still waiting for us."
Ah Yu and Ah Hou nodded heavily, and both hugged their fists and said:
"Don't worry, we will live up to our mission."
He looked at Lin Dong again, "Remember my words, for the benefit of the people, in five years, I will go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and when the time comes, I hope you will not let me down." ”
Lin Dong swore an oath, and nodded firmly, "The prince can rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to benefit the people and never let the prince down." ”
Leng Yu looked at the few of them and nodded,
"It's getting late, let's go."
With that, he strode out of the tent.
Outside, the people were looking at him with their eyes, and when they saw him come out, the crowd that had just been in a commotion suddenly quieted down, and he came to the people and shouted:
"After everyone goes back, we must cooperate with Lord Lin to build our home better than before, do you have confidence?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
The crowd began to boil, and these emaciated-looking people were in high spirits at this time, and when they came, they were almost like two people.
Looking at everyone's state, the corners of Leng Yu's mouth flashed a smile of relief, these people are the people of Daning Kingdom, and they can be reasonably resettled, which also shows that the National Games of Daning Country will be more prosperous.
