Chapter 201
The two sat across a table.

The emperor has been in the top position for a long time, of course he is sitting upright.

And Xinmeng is just the daughter of a minister, besides sitting sideways, she lowered her head and lowered her eyebrows to show respect.

Just when Xinmeng thought that the emperor would not speak, the emperor spoke, and the first sentence almost made her jump from the stool.

"How is Lang'er?"

Why did the prince ask her about Xiao Lang's whereabouts, and the emperor also asked her about Xiao Lang.

Everyone seemed to think that she should know about Xiao Lang's situation.

According to the current situation where all the men in the General's Mansion are fighting fiercely at the border, the emperor should have asked sympathetically, "How is your mother?" or "Is Mrs. Shen in good health?"

This involuntarily made Xinmeng think secretly in her heart, what is the intention of the emperor who does not play cards according to common sense, and what kind of answer does he want?
Or, should she go along with the flow and tell him everything about Xiao Lang's assassination?

The emperor was not in a hurry, he quietly waited for her reply, and took this opportunity to size her up for a while.

When Xinmeng made a decision, she raised her eyes to look at the emperor, she was frightened back when she met the emperor's deeply probing gaze, when the words came to her lips.

She couldn't help but recall that in the previous life, after marrying the seventh prince Xiao Yi as a concubine, she often had the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the emperor.At that time, she could feel that the emperor was not affectionate to the seventh prince, but he was still kind to her, the seventh prince concubine.She thought it was due to the status of the emperor, so she didn't think much about it, but because of this, she didn't flatter the emperor more and deliberately please him.

"Why, didn't Lang'er ask you to come to me?" The emperor's black pupils reflected Xinmeng's pensive face, and he decided to push her with words, otherwise he didn't know when she would speak. , "Or, Yi'er's uproar just now scared you so much that you didn't even dare to speak?"

Xinmeng was surprised, wouldn't the Emperor be the same as Prince Xiaoqian, hiding behind the curtain of the Hall of Renming and eavesdropping?

The emperor didn't surprise her for too long, and he cleared her confusion by saying two words lightly.

"Concubine Lan."

That's it!

Concubine Lan was sitting in the Hall of Renming at that time, and she knew exactly what happened.Presumably, Concubine Lan went to see the emperor after leaving Renming Hall, and talked about the Seventh Prince's request for a marriage, but Xinmeng's refusal.

That's why the emperor came so quickly, and sent the prince Xiao Qian away as soon as he arrived.

However, how could he know that Xiao Lang asked her to pass on the message?
"You are Lang'er's sweetheart, and I will not marry you to others. You can rest assured about this." The emperor gave Xin Meng a reassurance, "Can you tell me about Lang'er's situation now?"

What a surprise!
If she had known that the emperor had such an attitude, why would she rush over early in the morning to stop the seventh prince.

"Your Majesty," Xin Meng frowned slightly, "Did the Eighth Prince pass the news to enter the palace? In fact, you already knew that the Eighth Prince was assassinated these days."

"Yes." The emperor nodded, "I have received the letter."

Xinmeng looks at the sky silently.That being the case, why did the emperor keep asking about the situation of the eighth prince.Also, the eighth prince has other, more secure and quicker ways to send letters to the emperor, so why should she send the message.

The emperor said again: "Lang'er doesn't want me to worry. I didn't go into details about the assassination. I only said that he is safe and sound. He will leave the capital for a while. Please ask me to take care of you and not let you be hired away by others."

It seemed that his beloved son who had been wandering around like duckweed was finally about to stop.
