The most difficult thing had been revealed already, and the rest was also slowly disclosed.
Luo Cheng let Li Xiaoran lean on his shoulder as he talked about his childhood.
“You’ve heard about my mother before! My mother fell seriously ill when I was very young and died. From then on, my life became more and more difficult. My father ignored me. As a result, anyone in the palace bullied me.”
“It’s also because of this that I yearned for a family member to appear and hoped that someone could help me! I didn’t ask for much. I just hoped that someone would love me and protect me! Therefore, they used this ruse to lure me to the ice cave and I almost died inside. My mentor was a glutton and came to the imperial kitchen of the palace to steal food. He overheard that all the good wine in the palace was in the wine cellar, so when he entered the ice cave and saw me, he saved my life!”
“My mentor pitied me, so he saved me and taught me martial arts for a year. Later, he taught me medical skills and even sent Ziyang to my side. However, my mentor is a martial artist and doesn’t have power in the palace. This is all he can help me with.”
“Next, I began to slowly accumulate power and money, then planned to leave the palace, that miserable place! Fortunately, the heavens didn’t disappoint. A few years ago, I finally succeeded in severing my ties with the family and left the capital to settle down here!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she suddenly said, “Husband, but your brothers didn’t let you off. They even saw you as a big obstacle, so there were successive assassination attempts and the previous framing incident with Zhu Lan Kingdom. But why? Even if you’re from the royal family, you have left the royal family already, so why are they still holding on to you?”
Luo Cheng knew that Li Xiaoran was smart, but he didn’t expect her to be so shrewd that she was always able to grasp the key points.
“Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to my father! My father is ambitious now, and he’s only in his forties. The crown prince is already 26 years old. My father refuses to delegate power, and the crown prince is in a hurry to take over, so the fight between father and son, as well as the crown prince and the other princes, has never stopped. After I left, my father suddenly thought of me and muttered about me from time to time. Naturally, it aroused the vigilance of my other brothers,” Luo Cheng said with a sneer.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, her eyes widened.
“Your father probably has a grudge against you!”
Seeing Li Xiaoran’s widened eyes, Luo Cheng couldn’t help but laugh.
“How can I not know?! My father secretly instigated the framing this time. Previously, when I sent Zhu Lan Kingdom’s national treasure back, my father had already arranged for people to wait for me. Fortunately, my people lured those people away in advance. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to see me now! I might have been brought back to the capital to be the seventh prince!”
“Seventh prince? Forget it! I don’t want to be rich. I just want to rely on ourselves to earn money! No wonder you wanted to escape from the capital. Your family is so scheming. It’s such an exhausting way to live!” Li Xiaoran shook her head, indicating that she didn’t want that sort of life.
“So, after you gave me the idea in my dream, I sent the national treasure to the Dali Temple and brought Luo Han deep into the mountains to rush back overnight. If I had waited another night, I wouldn’t have been able to leave. Fortunately, I expected it and returned a night in advance, causing my father’s plan to fail again!” Luo Cheng thought of something and sneered.
“But that’s your father. Even if you run to Sichuan, if he really wants to summon you back, can you escape? He might have already issued the imperial decree to summon you back to the capital!” Li Xiaoran pursed her lips and muttered.
It was originally a hypothetical sentence, but it shocked Luo Cheng.
Based on his understanding of his father, this was really possible.
“Let’s go back with the bamboo shoots first! I’m worried that my father will really do this! I have to go back and make arrangements!”
Seeing that Luo Cheng was immediately vigilant, Li Xiaoran quickly placed the peeled bamboo shoots in the basket and the two of them went down the mountain.
However, before the two of them could eat lunch, they saw Luo Ziyang looking for them with a letter.
“Brother, something big has happened!”
When Luo Cheng heard this, he quickly took the letter and read it.
Luo Cheng’s expression darkened.
“Go capture the person who sent the decree and subdue him!” When Li Xiaoran heard this, she was surprised.
What she mentioned moments ago actually came true?
At the same time, Luo Cheng handed the letter to Li Xiaoran.
“Wife, see! Are you clairvoyant?” Luo Cheng said gloomily.
After Li Xiaoran took the letter and read it, she was enraged.
Damn it, this emperor actually bestowed Luo Cheng a marriage partner.
The marriage partner was the princess of Zhu Lan Kingdom.
Damn it, this was intolerable.
“Yes, capture the person who passed the decree and bring the imperial edict over! If I, Li Xiaoran, don’t teach that emperor a lesson today, my name won’t be Li Xiaoran! How dare they snatch my man? They’re simply courting death! ”
Li Xiaoran slapped the letter on the table and said domineeringly. Luo Cheng’s eyes lit up when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words. “Wife, you’ve thought of a good idea?”
As Li Xiaoran looked at Luo Cheng, she suddenly smiled brightly.
“Husband, since you were a prince in the past, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to get some materials to make an imperial edict, right?!”
When Luo Cheng heard Li Xiaoran’s words, he thought of something. “You want to make another imperial edict? You have the guts to do so?”
To be honest, Luo Cheng really didn’t expect Li Xiaoran to be so bold as to dare to do this.
One had to know that tampering with an imperial decree was already a serious crime, but Li Xiaoran actually dared to make a fake imperial decree.
She was extraordinarily bold!
Even Luo Ziyang was shocked by Li Xiaoran’s idea.
Oh my god, his sister-in-law was really fierce.
“Husband, what nonsense are you talking about?! What do you mean by making a new imperial decree? That’s the imperial decree issued by your unjust father! Do you even know how to speak?! If you don’t, I’ll teach you in the future!” Li Xiaoran said disapprovingly when she heard Luo Cheng’s words..
