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

"I am not disobeying the emperor's order. I am doing this for the good of the emperor and the people of Pingyang. If the emperor insists on making Leng Yifei the crown prince, I disagree, and the ministers behind me will not agree either."

As soon as he finished speaking, several ministers behind him nodded.

"Your Majesty, what the Eighth Prince said is absolutely right. Now that the position of Crown Prince is vacant, the most suitable person to be the Crown Prince should still be Prince Yan. Please be cautious, Your Majesty."

"Not only has Prince Yan fought in the battlefield and made contributions, he also has two sons and a daughter in his family, which can be regarded as a contribution to the continuation of the royal family. I also think that Prince Yan is the most suitable to be the crown prince."

At this time, more ministers stood up.

"I and others also believe that Prince Yan is the most suitable to be the crown prince..."

Seeing that everyone seemed to be speaking in Leng Yiyan's favor, Leng Yifei's face turned pale.

Over the years, he has also wanted to maintain relationships with court officials, but because his mother was demoted, these people simply disdain to associate with him.

Therefore, he created a powerful team among the people, thinking that it would come in handy one day.

What he didn't expect was that after the emperor had issued an imperial decree to appoint him as the crown prince, these people, led by their eighth uncle, actually came out collectively to resist. This really made him very angry.

Finally, Leng Yixing took two steps forward and said solemnly:

"Father, I think it is too early to appoint a crown prince now. Please think twice."

Obviously, Leng Yixing knew that it would be impossible to determine the candidate for the crown prince today, so he said something to ease the situation.

Although the emperor was in a confused state, he could still see the situation clearly.

All the ministers disagreed with enthroning Leng Yifei as the crown prince. Even if he issued an imperial decree, he had to consider the overall situation. Otherwise, if these ministers collectively boycotted the court or resigned from their posts, wouldn't he, the emperor, become a empty shell?

Thinking of this, he drooped his eyelids weakly and said slowly:

"Since everyone disagrees with my order, I will temporarily withdraw it. The matter of appointing a crown prince will be put on hold for now and discussed later."

Leng Jin came out to stop him at this time.

"Your Majesty, Yan'er is broad-minded and considerate. He has a son and a daughter, and his wife and son love each other. He is a role model for the people. In addition, he has fought on the battlefield and made contributions. I think that the position of the crown prince belongs to him. Please make the decision, Your Majesty."

At this time, the ministers also said in unison:

"Your Majesty, please make the decision."

If there had not been this imperial edict in advance, the emperor would probably have considered the words of these ministers.

However, this imperial decree was rejected. If the emperor re-appointed Leng Yiyan as the crown prince at this time, wouldn't that be a slap in his own face?

As the king of a country, how could he do such a thing?

He immediately waved his hand,

"We'll talk about appointing a crown prince later. Fei'er, you have one year to give birth to a child to expand the royal family."

The emperor said this at this time, obviously he still wanted to favor Leng Yifei more, which made Leng Yiyan very angry.

If the queen mother were still alive, the position of crown prince would belong to him.

Now that the queen mother is gone, the emperor doesn't even take into account the years of love between him and his mother, and wants to give the position of crown prince to the narrow-minded Leng Yifei.

After returning to Prince Yan's Mansion, he was still angry.

After Luo Nianxi learned the reason, she hurried forward to comfort him.

"The emperor suddenly issued an order, there must be a reason. Could it be that someone spoke for him in front of the emperor?"

Hearing this, Leng Yiyan turned his head to look at her.

"The only people who can speak in front of the emperor now are Concubine Mei and Lin Ming. Could it be one of them?"

Luo Nianxi immediately shook her head.

"It can't be Lin Ming. He has served the emperor for many years. Everyone knows that he is actually a stubborn person. Leng Yicheng tried to win him over but failed. This is also the reason why he has been able to serve the emperor for many years without any trouble."

"That's Concubine Mei? Could it be that Concubine Mei is speaking for Leng Yifei?"

Luo Nianxi hesitated for a while and nodded.

"It's very possible, but why would she speak for Leng Yifei? This is a bit strange."

Leng Yiyan suddenly looked at her alertly.

"I remember that Concubine Mei entered the palace a year ago. I hadn't returned at that time, but it seems that Pingyang Kingdom hasn't selected concubines for a few years. So who sent her to the palace? And who pushed her all the way to the position of concubine?"

His words reminded Luo Nianxi,

"Logically speaking, she and Leng Chen were close, so the person behind her should be Leng Chen. But right after Leng Chen died, the emperor wanted to make Leng Yifei the crown prince. This is a bit strange. Moreover, this Mei Fei seems to have no family members, and no one has ever mentioned her background. Could it be that she really has some unspeakable secret?"

"I will send someone to investigate this matter. If he fails to be crowned the crown prince this time, Leng Yifei will definitely not let it go. We must be on guard against him."

"Leng Yiheng's fate is there, so he dare not act recklessly for the time being. In addition, the emperor has issued an edict to him, requiring him to give birth to an heir for the royal family within a year. I believe that during this period of time, he will be busy with marrying and having children!"

At this point, she and Leng Yiyan smiled at each other.

Although his request for permission from the emperor today failed, the emperor would not appoint another crown prince for the time being, which made him feel at ease.

As a prince, he only needs to handle the court affairs within his ability, and let the emperor handle the rest!

"By the way, my lady, what method did you use last time to make my father's mental state suddenly improve? Otherwise, I would have no chance to avenge my mother. After experiencing this incident, I feel that he is listless all day long. It's not that he is stupid or foolish, but it seems that he has some disease. When he is sober, he handles things the same as before, but when he is confused, he is not in his right mind, as if he doesn't even know what he is saying. My lady, you are a skilled doctor, why don't you go and see him when you have time?"

When it comes to the emperor's mental state, Luo Nianxi frowned.

"My husband, to be honest with you, I always feel that the emperor is not sick, but rather poisoned."

"what?"

He looked at her in astonishment. "I have been in southern Xinjiang. I don't know his physical condition, nor do I know when he became ill. If he was poisoned, who poisoned him?"

At this point, he looked at her as if he had thought of something.

"Could it be that Mei Fei?"

Luo Nianxi frowned and shook her head.

"I don't know yet, but the most suspicious person right now is Concubine Mei."

He breathed a sigh of relief and spoke again.

"The women in the harem died one after another. They are pitiful and hateful. They want to climb up the emperor's high branch, but they have to endure being ignored by the emperor and envied by other women. After I recovered my memory this time, I re-sorted out these things. I made up my mind that if one day I sit on the throne, I will never take another concubine. My woman can only be you."

At this point, he held out his hand and swore an oath.

"I, Leng Yiyan, swear to heaven here that no matter if I become an emperor or an ordinary person in the future, I will treat my wife Luo Nianxi well and will never let her down or make her sad. Otherwise..."
