Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“That’s why we’re back! I treat you as my father now, so there are some things I want to ask you personally. Did you order someone to plant the national treasure of Zhu Lan Kingdom on me?”
“Father, were you the one who trapped Xiaoran and me in the inn and fabricated evidence that I was colluding with external enemies to frame me?”
“Did you send assassins to kill me twice? Those assassins even had ties with the Seven Kills Gang and the Longevity Hall!”
These three consecutive questions made the emperor’s expression turn uglier and uglier, especially when Luo Cheng mentioned the Seven Kills Gang and Longevity Hall.
“You met people from the Seven Kills Gang and Longevity Hall?” The emperor’s expression turned solemn.
“That’s right. The Seven Kills Gang has been sending people to assassinate me. I discovered that they have built a village in a hidden place beside Eagle Village and are living in seclusion there. Not only that, but the Seven Kills Gang is also looking for children with special talents. They also want to use the help of
Eagle Village’s eagles to find gold mines! Do you know about all of this?” Luo Cheng stared at the emperor as he questioned him.
The emperor was furious and disappointed.
He was furious that his son, whom he had always felt he owed, had been schemed against so many times.
To his disappointment, his other sons were so intolerant.
They couldn’t even tolerate a brother who had already been removed from the family. They tried to kill him time and time again. Could such people really manage the government properly?
The emperor calmed down and said, “I don’t know anything about this. I’ve been secretly sending people to investigate Zhu Lan Kingdom’s national treasures. Later, I found out that those national treasures were in your hands, so I thought that if you could send them back, I might be able to see you. Therefore, I let you think of a way to send them back!”
“It’s just that I never expected you to send the thing back in such a way! At that moment, I felt that your idea was really brilliant. Only you could think of such a method!”
Speaking of this, the emperor was proud.
As expected of his son. He was a genius to be able to think of such a brilliant method to send Zhu Lan Kingdom’s national treasure back.
Therefore, at that moment, the emperor really wanted to see his son. Unexpectedly, his efforts were in vain.
“If it’s not your doing, then I want to ask you not to drag me into the fight for the throne in the future. After all, I’m really not interested in your throne at all!
In ten days, I’ll leave the capital with Xiaoran. I hope you take care of yourself. Xiaoran and I will pray for you every day in Sichuan!” Luo Cheng said. The emperor was a little surprised to hear Luo Cheng’s words.
“You guys are leaving in ten days?”
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Didn’t you already give me a fief?
From today onwards, I’ll live an ordinary life in my own fief.”
The emperor thought about it for a moment and said, “Don’t leave yet! Your grandmother’s birthday is in a month. Since you’re already here, celebrate your grandmother’s birthday first before leaving! All these years, your grandmother has been missing you. Go and see her later!”
“I accept!” Luo Cheng thought for a moment and finally agreed.
“By the way, I heard that you promised to help Fan Dechang teach people how to cook Sichuan dishes. I wonder what you plan to do?” The emperor thought of his purpose of summoning Luo Cheng to the palace and asked.
Luo Cheng was already prepared and took out the memorials he had written last night.
“Actually, it’s not my idea. It’s my wife’s!”
When the emperor heard this, he took the memorial and read it carefully.
The more the emperor read, the more shocked he became. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask, “Did that little girl really think of this?”
“That’s right. These are all methods that Xiaoran came up with! Even the method to bring Zhu Lan Kingdom’s national treasure to the capital was thought of by Xiaoran!” Luo Cheng replied.
When the emperor heard Luo Cheng’s words, he realized for the first time that Li Xiaoran was extraordinarily smart.
“No wonder. No wonder you actually chose this girl to be your wife and even swore that you would only marry her. Previously, I only thought that you were blinded by love, but I didn’t expect this girl to be such a smart person.
The emperor thought for a moment and said, “That’s a good idea. I approve of it! Since you value Fan Dechang so much, why don’t you let him follow you?! I know that Fan Dechang hasn’t been doing well in the palace all these years. Since you know how to employ people productively, it’s better to let him follow you than for him to waste time in the royal family!”
Luo Cheng didn’t expect his father to give Fan Dechang to him directly.
One had to know that if Fan Dechang left with him, Fan Dechang would be his subordinate in the future.
“Father, are you sure?” Luo Cheng couldn’t help but ask.
“Just treat it as me doing a good deed!” The emperor sighed and said, “Speaking of which, I also tasted Fan Dechang’s food today. Although it tastes good, I keep feeling that something is missing! Didn’t that little girl claim to be a foodie? I believe her culinary skills are not bad! Why don’t I go to your residence later and try this girl’s cooking?!”
Luo Cheng hesitated and nodded when he heard the emperor’s words.
“Father, if you go there rashly, the residence won’t be able to prepare anything in time and you can only eat whatever Xiaoran cooks!”
The emperor couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Luo Cheng’s words.
“Kid, I finally know why that girl is so bold! She was spoiled by you!”
“Of course. If I don’t dote on my wife, who else should I dote on?!” Luo Cheng said proudly.
“Go! Go and see your grandmother. When my matters are settled, I’ll call Xiao Dezi to find you!” The emperor said with a smile.
Luo Cheng nodded and left.
After that, Luo Cheng went to the royal family where the empress dowager lived.
The empress dowager had not interfered in external matters for a long time now. She ate healthy food every day and chanted Buddhist scriptures every day to cultivate her body and mind.
Her eyes lit up when she heard that the Seventh Prince was here.
“This kid is finally willing to come and see me!”
Soon, Luo Cheng walked in.
Upon seeing his grandmother again, Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment.
The grandmother in front of him was very different from the grandmother in his memory..
