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

His words made Luo Nianxi laugh with contempt.

"My husband, did you hear that? The prince said that these gold and silver were clearly pushed into Prince Yan's mansion? We live in Prince Yan's mansion, how come we don't know that these things have been in Prince Yan's mansion? Could it be that the prince has planted spies in Prince Yan's mansion? It seems that this matter really needs to be discussed with the emperor, otherwise, the guilt of our Prince Yan's mansion will never be cleared. "

Leng Yiyan shook his hands with a serious expression.

"Come here, escort Crown Prince Leng Yicheng and these gold and silver into the palace..."

As soon as these words came out, Leng Yicheng's face changed drastically. He retreated while shouting,

"Who dares to touch me? I am the prince. Let me see."

"Humph! You are the crown prince, but you robbed the company and committed embezzlement. Anyone can punish you. I have the right to bring you before my father to question you."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and Ling Xiao and Ling Yun stepped forward together, restrained him, and then, under the leadership of Leng Yiyan, headed straight for the palace...

……

The gold and silver that were lost from the national treasury appeared in the prince's mansion. This news made the emperor furious and Concubine Rong was frightened out of her wits. With the help of her maid, she staggered to the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Leng Yicheng knelt tremblingly in front of the emperor, and the ten boxes of gold and silver were placed beside him.

He tried to explain to the emperor several times that he was wronged and he didn't know what was going on.

But this thing was searched out from his Prince's Mansion. At that time, thousands of guards were watching with their eyes open. The more he explained, the angrier the emperor became. His explanation seemed pale and powerless at this time.

The emperor looked at him with a livid face, his chest heaving with anger and his mouth gasping for breath.

"Leng Yicheng, you really disappoint me. I asked you to guard the national treasury because I hoped you could protect the lifeline of Pingyang State. But you actually embezzled and took the gold and silver back to your Prince's Mansion. What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel?"

Leng Yicheng was so frightened that his legs were sore and his whole body felt weak.

He knelt there dejectedly, shaking his head.

"Father, I didn't. I don't know what's going on..."

At this point, he suddenly looked at Leng Yiyan.

"It was him. He must have deliberately framed me. Father, please investigate."

Leng Yiyan did not want to explain further about his accusation. The facts were there, and he did not believe that his father would be so stupid as to believe it based on just a few sophistry words from him.

Sure enough, seeing Leng Yicheng pointing the finger at Leng Yiyan, the emperor took a few deep breaths, then roared with all his strength.

"He is really unrepentant. He is still trying to make excuses in the face of facts. Come, take Leng Yicheng to the Ministry of Punishment and wait for his punishment..."

"emperor……"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Concubine Rong came running in, kneeling down in front of the emperor, crying and complaining:

"Your Majesty, I only have one son and one daughter. Now Jing'er has married to Northern Chu for the stability of Pingyang. I don't know when I can see her again. Now I only have Cheng'er by my side. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and spare Cheng'er! Please, Your Majesty, have mercy..."

"Humph! Why didn't he think about his status when he stole from the national treasury? Over the years, I have been tolerant enough towards him, but he has become more and more excessive. If I am tolerant towards him in this matter, how can I manage the court in the future?"

"Your Majesty, please spare Cheng'er for the sake of my decades of service to you!"

"Don't say any more. I will handle this matter appropriately. Keep him in custody."

"emperor……"

Concubine Rong wanted to plead again, but the emperor waved his hand impatiently.

"Help Concubine Rong go back and pass on my order. Before this matter is thoroughly investigated, Concubine Rong is not allowed to leave Yong'an Palace..."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, several guards came forward and dragged Leng Yicheng away. Concubine Rong was then helped out by several maids.

The emperor frowned and looked up at Leng Yiyan with deep eyes.

"Yan'er, what do you think I should do about this matter?"

How to do?

His father has always been suspicious. If he says one more word at this moment, it will make his father suspicious of him.

He simply clasped his fists with a heavy face.

"Father, this matter is of great importance. I dare not make any rash suggestions..."

The emperor held his breath and breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his hand.

"It's getting late, and I'm tired. Please leave. Tomorrow morning, I will announce this matter in the court..."

The emperor did not immediately announce the abolition of Leng Yicheng's position as crown prince. It seems that the emperor still has mercy on him.

Leng Yiyan was already feeling a little guilty about this matter, so he didn't say much. After paying his respects to the emperor, he went straight out of the Qianqing Palace.

Luo Nianxi, Ling Xiao and others had been waiting outside the Qianqing Palace with torches. When they saw him come out, Luo Nianxi hurried over to greet him.

"My husband, how is it? I just saw Leng Yicheng being taken away. How does the emperor plan to deal with him?"

Ling Xiao and others also came to him and waited for his answer.

Leng Yiyan shook his head solemnly.

"I don't know. Who can guess what the emperor is thinking? Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's not stay here too long. If anyone suspects us, let's talk while we walk!"

After saying this, he took a big step forward, and Luo Nianxi quickly followed him.

"Don't worry too much. Deposing the crown prince is no small matter. It is reasonable for the emperor to be cautious..."

"I think the emperor is biased towards Leng Yicheng. Stealing from the national treasury is a serious crime, but the emperor just took him to the Ministry of Punishment. I'm really afraid that all our efforts will be in vain!"

"Anyway, I think that no matter what, he can no longer be the crown prince as he is charged with stealing from the national treasury. Even if the emperor wants to favor him, he has to consider the impact of this matter. Moreover, the entire Chang'an City now knows that the crown prince embezzled..."

He tilted his eyebrows and squinted at her.

"You did it?"

She squinted her eyes and smiled softly.

"He had murderous intentions towards us. What we did to him was just a drop in the ocean. It's not an exaggeration."

Leng Yiyan took her hand directly and nodded as he walked forward.

"At first I thought that I was shameful for doing such a thing, until I heard him say that he saw someone pushing the gold and silver into Prince Yan's Mansion. Then I realized that he not only asked Steward Lu to keep an eye on Prince Yan's Mansion, but also planted spies outside Prince Yan's Mansion. He wanted to use this incident to put Prince Yan's Mansion to death. Maybe you are right. You can't use normal means to deal with people like him. Otherwise, in the end, I don't know how I died."

After saying this, he held her hand tightly in his palm, feeling indescribable.

If she hadn't been there, he would not only have no chance to walk in this deep palace, but he might even have died on his bed.

"My dear, next month is our wedding ceremony. Do you have any ideas?"

She hesitated for a while and simply shook her head.

"Husband, I don't want to do it anymore. We have the emperor's imperial decree and the marriage certificate from the Ministry of Rites. That's enough. The ceremony is really not important."

Her words made him stop in astonishment, and then he looked at her in the residual light of the torch.

"But I want to give you the most grand wedding..."

She looked up at him and replied with a smile:

"How could I not know what my husband meant? But we are already husband and wife and have our own child. As long as we are happy, it doesn't matter if we don't have such a ceremony. Besides, I really don't like overly complicated ceremonies. They are too tiring. If my husband really wants to, then he can take me out to play on the first anniversary of our acquaintance. We can go out of Chang'an City and find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to walk. That's enough..."

Her words surprised him.

"Do you really think so?"

She nodded without hesitation.

"Well, I don't need superficial glory, I just want inner fulfillment..."

He looked at her lovingly, raised his hand and pulled her into his arms. At the same time, Ling Xiao and the others who followed behind them turned their heads away...
