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

Seeing that she approved of the name he had chosen, he nodded happily.

"As long as my lady likes it, let's have someone make a plaque with these three words! On the opening day, do you want me to ask the brothers to stand and cheer for you?"

She waved her hands.

"It's better not to do that. If you go, who will dare to come?"

As she spoke, she turned around and prepared to leave. He raised his hand and took her hand, pulling her to his side. She sat on his lap, raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Is there anything else, sir?"

"Well, we had agreed to take you out on the eighth day of June, the day we have known each other for a year, but you were busy with the clinic and I was busy with the military camp, so we delayed it. I'm sorry."

She raised her hand and pinched his chin.

"It's not your fault. I'm just too busy. I've made up my mind. After the clinic is officially open, I'll see patients in the morning and let the doctors hired by the clinic see patients in the afternoon. That way I'll have time to spend with you and Si Jin."

When she mentioned the four pounds, she smiled with great satisfaction.

"By the way, Sijin can sit up now. When I tease him, he even smiles at me. Time flies!"

He raised his hand, stroked her abdomen, and asked softly:

"My dear, it's already four pounds. When can we have our own child?"

His question made Luo Nianxi feel very sorry for him. Over the past few months, she had been secretly taking birth control pills after having sex. It wasn't that she didn't want to have a baby, she just felt that it was not the right time yet.

Sijin is still young, and if they have their own child, she is really afraid that Sijin will be neglected.

If she were to open a clinic, she would definitely be very busy. If she got pregnant at this time, Leng Yiyan would definitely not let her take care of these things, and then she would not be able to open her clinic.

After comprehensive consideration, she decided to have a child later, at least until the baby is two years old.

She raised her arms to hug his neck, pouting with some regret.

"My husband, I'm sorry, my stomach is not doing well..."

"Do not blame you."

He quickly raised his hand to cover her mouth.

"My lady, don't say such things. You are right. We are already four pounds. There is no rush to have another child. By the way, I heard that Concubine Luo is pregnant. The Crown Prince's Mansion has sent the imperial physician several times to prescribe medicine to preserve her pregnancy."

what?

"Luo Nianqing got pregnant so soon?"

"Well, I met Doctor Hu in the palace today. He mentioned, yes, the theft from the national treasury. Many people in the court reported it to the emperor, saying that Steward Liu was loyal to his master and took the initiative to admit it. He should be given a light punishment. So my father punished Steward Liu and his family by exiling them to the frontier. This matter has come to an end."

"This must be Leng Yicheng behind the scenes, but we are not targeting a housekeeper. It's good that the emperor punishes us like this, and we won't hurt innocent people..."

"And one more thing……"

Leng Yiyan's expression turned a little ugly, Luo Nianxi hurriedly asked,

"What happened?"

He pondered for a while, frowned and said:

"News came from Northern Chu that Leng Rujing... is dead."

"what?"

She stood up from the chair.

"How could she die?"

Leng Yiyan sighed and shook his head sadly.

"I don't know either. The other party mentioned in the letter that on the night before she got married to the little prince of Northern Chu, her bedroom caught fire. The fire was fierce. When she was rescued, she had been burned to charcoal. The Northern Chu Kingdom said that they had buried her according to royal etiquette..."

When Luo Nianxi heard the news, she felt her head suddenly swell up.

She had been away from Northern Chu for less than half a year, how could she have died?

She died in a foreign country without even a complete body. How pitiful...

"Then...what is Pingyang Country going to do?"

Leng Yiyan sighed and shook his head gently.

"When the emperor mentioned this matter in the hall today, he cried several times, but in the end he decided to posthumously confer the title of Princess Protector of the Nation on Leng Rujing and not to pursue the case against Northern Chu. Because Northern Chu sent 10,000 taels of gold along with the letter as compensation for not taking good care of Leng Rujing. They also said that Northern Chu would never offend Pingyang again. Leng Rujing has done a great service for Pingyang!"

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi felt inexplicably sad.

Leng Rujing's death was unclear, but her father did not pursue the matter for these benefits.

However, the emperor must have had no choice but to do this. When he sent Leng Rujing to the Northern Chu Kingdom, he probably never thought of letting his daughter come back alive.

It's just a pity that Si Jin lost his mother at such a young age. It's really pitiful. It seems that she will have to love Si Jin even more in the future...

……

Prince's Mansion

Luo Nianqing became pregnant three months after entering the Prince's Mansion, which made Leng Yicheng very excited. He stayed by her side all day long, which made the other wife and thirteen concubines in the mansion jealous.

At this time, Luo Nianqing was lying on the couch, eating grapes handed to her by the maid, while wondering who the biological father of this child was.

The imperial physician said that her child was almost two months old. Two months ago, she slept with Butler Liu and also with Leng Yicheng.

She prayed silently in her heart that this child must not be the child of Butler Liu!

At this moment, Leng Yicheng came to her with big strides, and then waved to Bai He. Bai He understood and retreated. She hurriedly said to Luo Nianqing:

"Qing'er, look who I brought here."

Luo Nianqing sat up straight, looked at the person who came, and shook her head.

"Your Highness, I don't recognize this person."

Leng Yicheng looked at the man with a smile on his face, then raised his hand and saw the man peeling off a human skin mask from his face...

In just a moment, Luo Nianqing froze in place.

Isn’t the person behind this mask the Butler Liu whom she was just thinking about?

Her face turned from red to white in an instant, and then turned blue.

She has been struggling for the past two months.

She really enjoyed the feeling of being favored by Leng Yicheng in the Prince's Mansion. She enjoyed such a life and didn't want anyone to disrupt it.

But every night when she was making love with Leng Yicheng in bed, she couldn't help but think of the housekeeper Liu in front of her. His physical strength and his skills in bed really made her unable to stop.

Now, the man who had been haunting her dreams reappeared in front of her, and she was both excited and scared.

She was even a little overwhelmed.

Seeing her in a daze, Butler Liu blinked his shrewd eyes, bowed and said:

"Greetings to Concubine Luo. Thanks to you, I am back."

This sentence brought Luo Nianqing back to her senses from her panic. She nodded blankly.

"Okay, just come back, just come back."

"This time, the Crown Prince has blessed me and saved me from danger. In the future, I will serve the Crown Prince and Concubine Luo well..."
