I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

This scene was seen clearly by Chu Hanxiang on the city wall. He quickly raised his hand and the arrows he was shooting towards this side stopped.

Luo Nianxi shielded Leng Yiyan from the arrow. How could Leng Yiyan be so worthy of Xi Nianxi's life?

He gnashed his teeth in hatred, his teeth itched, but he could shoot his arrow at anyone except her. He couldn't let her look down on him or think that he was a dishonest person.

Even if she never comes back...

Luo Nianxi glanced at the city wall. Her eyes were so cold and so strange that Chu Hanxiang's heart twitched.

Seeing her injured, Leng Yiyan kept shouting,

"Nian Xi, Nian Xi..."

"I'm fine, hurry up, get out of here."

She couldn't guarantee that Chu Hanxiang would not shoot arrows at her again, so she had to leave here as soon as possible.

Leng Yiyan then turned his horse around, led everyone away, and headed straight for the camp.

Looking at their backs, Chu Hanxiang felt an indescribable sadness in his heart. From now on, Xi Yatou would never be seen in his Qiuxiang Garden again.

After she left, Leng Rujing finally let go of her worries. Ye Zi looked at her lying on the bed in confusion.

"Princess, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly fall ill?"

"Is she gone?"

"Who?"

Ye Zi looked at her and asked as if he suddenly understood something:

"Are you talking about Luo Nianxi?"

"Correct."

"gone."

"Then... the thing she was holding on her chest, wasn't discovered by anyone?"

what?

Ye Zi pondered for a while and said:

"Are you talking about the thing she was holding in her arms? She said it was her private belonging, but the prince didn't let her take it out of the house, so she threw it directly into the dry well in the backyard and set it on fire."

……

Ye Zi said it lightly, but it made Leng Rujing's breathing stop and she froze on the bed.

Set it on fire?

She asked nervously,

"Did you see her set the fire? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Ye Zi didn't understand why she was so excited, but she replied truthfully:

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, but when she went to the backyard, the things in her arms were still there, but when she came back, they were gone. And at that time, there was a fire in the dry well in the backyard. Later, I heard from the servants in the mansion that she did throw the things in her arms into the dry well, and in order to prevent the prince from fishing them out to check, she directly set fire to them. This woman is really meticulous. I don't know what she took out of the mansion."

At this time, Leng Rujing's face had become as white as paper, completely bloodless.

She turned over and stood up, covering the wound on her stomach, and prepared to run to the door.

Ye Zi came over and supported her.

"Princess, where are you going?"

"I'll go check out the backyard."

"What is there to see? The well was sealed by the prince's order. He said that the secret of Princess Xi is hidden there. No one is allowed to open it without his order."

"But……"

She wanted to say, but that was her child, her own flesh and blood, a baby who was only a few days old.

Luo Nianxi, she had promised herself that she would protect the child even at the cost of her own life, but in order to protect herself, she actually threw her child into a dry well and burned him, leaving him no chance of survival.

Her child was burned to ashes before he could see the world...

Whenever she thought of Si Jin's petite body being burned to ashes, her heart felt like it was being grabbed by a big hand, causing her heart-wrenching pain.

Ye Zi supported her and sat back on the bed, muttering worriedly,

"Princess, I'm afraid we won't be here for long. You should take this opportunity to take good care of yourself. If she leaves, we will probably be sent back to the Rui Palace. I'm really afraid that your body will be in trouble!"

Leng Rujing didn't listen to her at all. Her eyes were dead and she looked nowhere. She felt that at this moment, she was like a walking corpse without a soul!

Suddenly, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes. The nails of her hands dug into her flesh. A sentence echoed in her mind.

"Luo Nianxi, you betrayed what you said to me and cruelly killed my son. I will definitely take revenge for this. I will definitely take revenge. Just wait for me..."

The seed of hatred was planted in Leng Rujing's heart. She wished she could eat Luo Nianxi alive, but she didn't have the ability to do so now. She had to wait. She had to wait until the right opportunity and go back to avenge her son's death.

Leng Rujing would never have thought that her child was lying intact in Bao'an Hall at this moment.

After Luo Nianxi was brought back to the tent, Leng Yiyan ordered the military physician to examine her wounds. The results showed that her injuries were not serious, but she needed to rest for a few days due to excessive blood loss.

Sitting beside the bed, Leng Yiyan held her hand and looked at her distressedly.

"Why are you so stupid? Why did you block the arrow for me? I'm a grown man, with thick skin and flesh. It's okay for me to get hurt a little."

She gave a helpless smile.

"I didn't think so much at the time. If I had known I would get hurt, I would have used you as a shield to prevent you from disobeying me and attacking Northern Chu ahead of time."

When this matter was mentioned, Leng Yiyan held her hand even tighter.

"I really can't wait. Do you know how hard these four months have been for me? I can't sleep at night just thinking about you being with Chu Hanxiang. If you don't come, I'll go crazy."

She suddenly looked at him seriously.

"Leng Yiyan, are you bringing your troops here for me, or do you really want to go to war with the Northern Chu Kingdom?"

This question made him stunned for a moment.

He admitted in his heart that the biggest reason why he proposed to go to war with the Northern Chu Kingdom was Luo Nianxi, and he wanted to take her back at all costs.

But if he said that, she would definitely say that she didn't consider the overall situation.

Thinking of this, he responded solemnly,

"For you, and for the humiliation that Northern Chu brought to Pingyang..."

"But have you ever thought about this? The two countries have already made peace, and you rashly bring troops here, which goes against the original intention of the marriage between the two countries. In this case, what do you think of Leng Rujing? Do you really want to put her in danger?"

"Marriage between the two countries is a good thing, but Chu Hanxiang insisted on snatching my woman away. He is deliberately causing disputes. I am leading my troops here to restore the lost face of Pingyang State. It is justified."

"Then...if I ask you to withdraw your troops back to Pingyang at this time, would you be willing?"

Leng Yiyan lowered his eyebrows and looked at her, his eyebrows slightly raised.

"We have made sufficient preparations for this trip. This is a good time to annihilate the Northern Chu Kingdom in one fell swoop. Why should we withdraw our troops? Besides, he just attacked us and injured you. I will avenge him..."

"But Leng Rujing is still in Northern Chu. She is a princess who was married to a foreign king..."

"So what? It was my father who asked her to come. It has nothing to do with me."

"She is your sister..."

"She is also Leng Yicheng's sister..."

This sentence came out of Leng Yiyan's mouth again, but made Luo Nianxi very disappointed.

She looked at him and suddenly laughed sarcastically.

"Leng Yiyan, I always thought you were a man who valued friendship and loyalty, but I didn't expect you to be so heartless and ungrateful. Even if Chu Hanxiang was wrong to force me to come to Northern Chu, he has never forced me in the nine months since I came here, and he has treated me with courtesy. Now that you have brought troops here, he is willing to let me leave the city to reunite with you. Why can't you stop the war for the sake of the people in the city?"

Leng Yiyan's heart tightened when she criticized him.

She said he was heartless and ungrateful?
