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

His words touched her a little, but at this moment, she thought of Si Jin. No matter what, she had to raise Si Jin before finding Guo Wei. If Leng Yiyan could not accept this child who came out of nowhere, she would not agree to be with him.

She bit her lip, blushed and shook her head.

"Let's talk about these things later!"

Leng Yiyan's eyes dimmed in an instant.

"Why should we talk about it later? You were originally my wife, and it was Chu Hanxiang who took you away by force. The divorce letter from the emperor was also a delaying tactic. Now everything has returned to normal. Why do you want to talk about it later? Don't you like me?"

He was a little impatient, as he had always thought that she would be looking forward to him picking her up.

His question made her at a loss for words.

She asked herself, did she dislike him?

It seems not. During the past few months in Beichu, she often thought of him, especially what he said to her when he left Bao'an Hall.

Although he couldn't remember it, that must be what he wanted to say to her in his heart.

So, it seemed that she had developed feelings for him.

However, she had to consider Sijin. She couldn't leave the child in Yu'antang. She belonged to this world.

If Leng Yiyan could not understand the existence of this child and did not accept the existence of this child, even if she liked him, she would give him up for Sijin.

So, she didn't dare to promise him anything rashly now.

"Leng Yiyan, I'm sorry. We need some time to think carefully about our relationship. At least... let's go to Pingyang Country and make a decision!"

Leng Yiyan was not willing to give up and continued to ask,

"I don't want to think about it. Do you think I haven't done well enough? Tell me, I can change. Nian Xi, since the day I stood up, I swear that no matter what method I use, I must keep you by my side and take good care of you. Not only am I grateful for you curing me, but more importantly... I have fallen in love with you..."

As he said this, he raised his hands, held her in his arms, rested his chin on her hair, and muttered to himself,

"Nian Xi, do you know? The days without you really feel like years. I have never felt this way before."

She broke free from his arms and looked at him with squinting eyes.

"What about Mo Xiaowan? Didn't you two secretly get married?"

Seeing that she mentioned Mo Xiaowan again, he immediately frowned in annoyance, and then looked at her affectionately.

"I didn't know what love was before, but now I know. She and I were just a mistaken acquaintance. You are the woman I want to protect for the rest of my life."

His sweet words made her heart flutter.

She looked up at him.

"Leng Yiyan, give me some time. Let's talk about everything after we return to Pingyang Country!"

She didn't dare to agree to him, for she was afraid of disappointing him.

Leng Yiyan didn't want to embarrass her, so he nodded immediately.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Now pack up and we'll set off immediately."

Luo Nianxi was about to call Bai Lan to help her change her clothes, but he stopped her.

"Let me do it. Bai Lan is busy."

"But... it's inconvenient."

He sneered,

"What's the inconvenience? When you were taking care of me, didn't you see it?"

At this point, he blushed in embarrassment and immediately changed his words.

"I mean, you just put on your coat and I'll do it."

Thinking of the scene when she took care of him, Luo Nianxi's face suddenly turned red.

Yongyan, Yonghe, Suyi and Jiang Hai led the 100,000-strong army and set out first, taking a shortcut to Pingyang State.

Yonggui, Yongfu, Lingxiao, Lingyun, and their three thousand elite soldiers escorted Leng Yiyan and Luo Nianxi back home.

Along the way, they did not stay in the city, but set up camp along the way. Half a month later, they arrived at the Youzhou Pass.

At this time, Luo Nianxi's injuries had completely healed, and she no longer had to lie in the carriage like a seriously injured patient.

When we passed Youzhou Pass and arrived at Pingyang State, the sky gradually darkened and Ling Xiao came to report:

"My Lord, now that we have arrived at the border of Pingyang, would you like to stay at the inn in front of us with your princess tonight?"

Leng Yiyan frowned and shook his head.

"No need. We are just passing by. Don't disturb the local officials and people. Let's follow the old rules and set up camp outside the city."

"Yes, I will give the order now."

Leaving these words behind, Ling Xiao rode away. Leng Yiyan came to Luo Nianxi's carriage, dismounted, and called out to the inside:

"Nian Xi, we have arrived at our Pingyang Country. Come down and rest for a while!"

Along the way, Leng Yiyan was quite nervous. He was afraid that Chu Hanxiang would chase them. Although he was not afraid of going to war with him, he was afraid of hurting Luo Nianxi.

Fortunately, they had a safe journey and successfully returned to the territory of Pingyang State. Now that they were in their own territory, he had nothing to worry about.

Bai Lan opened the curtain door of the sedan chair. After Luo Nianxi got off the carriage, she looked at Leng Yiyan awkwardly.

"I want to go to the toilet first."

Leng Yiyan immediately instructed Bai Lan:

"There's a small wood in front. Go with the princess. Don't go too far."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Luo Nianxi raised her foot and walked towards the grove, with Bai Lan following closely behind her.

After she walked for a while, she looked back and saw that she could no longer see anyone on the official road. Then she instructed Bai Lan:

"Stay here."

"Princess, we are unfamiliar with this place, so you can handle it here. I will turn around and I promise I won't dare to peek."

She gave a helpless smile.

"Have you forgotten my rules along the way?"

"But we were in an open area before, and this is a forest, and it's late now. I'm really worried about you being alone."

"Don't worry, I won't go far. See that little hill over there? I'll go behind it. You stay here and watch..."

Bai Lan looked towards the small hill and nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, hurry up then."

Seeing that the girl was no longer following her, she quickly turned around and walked towards a small hill not far away.

After she arrived here, she couldn't wait to open the Bao'an Hall, and after entering, she went straight to the ward.

When she entered Bao'antang yesterday, the nurse told her that Sijin would be taken out of the incubator and sent to the neonatal ward this morning, and his family could come to pick him up from the hospital at any time.

When Luo Nianxi arrived at the ward, she saw Xiao Ding feeding her milk powder.

"Xiao Ding, I'm here to pick him up from the hospital."

"Dean, let me ask you, how are we going to pay for this child and his mother?"

"Put it on my account!"

"Okay, everything is ready. After you finish this milk, you can go."

Luo Nianxi looked at the big bag of clothes and baby supplies and smiled with relief.

The aunts in Bao'an Hall really care about Sijin and prepare everything for him. However, it is inconvenient for her to take so many things back.

So she took out some spare clothes, milk bottles, and a pack of diapers.

"I'll take less. Leave these things here. I'll come back to get them when I'm free."

"Okay, I'll take it to my office later. When you come to pick it up, just go directly to my place."
