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

Hong Yan stepped forward, pulled Du Xiaoyue from Leng Yiyan's hands and controlled her, then forced her to kneel in front of Leng Yiyan. However, she tried to stand up several times, but was kicked to the ground by Bai Lan every time.

She looked at Leng Yiyan coldly and angrily said:

"The old emperor is dead, and you are going to be the emperor. Next, are you going to kill us mother and daughter? Instead of doing that, why don't I take action first? Even if I can't kill you, I can at least vent my anger."

Her words made Leng Yiyan very unhappy.

He looked at her coldly.

"When did I ever think of killing you? Besides, Leng Yiheng only has two daughters. Where are the roots that need to be cut? Where are the weeds that need to be removed?"

Du Xiaoyue didn't believe what he said.

"Hmph! Don't lie to me. Someone told me that once you ascend the throne, you will eliminate all those who are in your way, including us mother and daughter..."

From her words, Leng Yiyan could tell that she was being used and instigated by someone, and had mistakenly believed what others said, so she wanted to enter the palace to assassinate him.

He glanced at Luo Nianxi, frowned and said:

"Ma'am, please handle it. I have something else to do."

He believed that she could handle this matter.

He also believed that she would not embarrass this simple-minded woman who liked to believe blindly.

"Ah."

After she nodded in agreement, Leng Yiyan signaled Xing Yan to let her go, and waved to Bai Lan and Jiang Hai, and the two children instantly regained their freedom.

Seeing him leave, Du Xiaoyue looked at Luo Nianxi with gritted teeth.

"Did he really never intend to kill us, mother and daughter?"

Her question made Luo Nianxi feel helpless.

She looked at her and laughed sarcastically.

"Du Xiaoyue, you are so stupid. Haven't you ever thought that no matter whether you can kill Leng Yiyan or not, it will be difficult for you and your child to leave the palace alive? Have you ever thought about the purpose of the person who said this to you? If you are all dead, what is the point of you killing Leng Yiyan? Besides, the emperor passed away suddenly, and Leng Yiyan, as the crown prince, has too many things to deal with. Do you think he has time to take care of you and your widow? You really take yourself too seriously."

Obviously, her words made Du Xiaoyue come to her senses.

She suddenly felt very regretful. She shouldn't have been so impulsive.

"Princess, please spare me. I know I was wrong. I was so confused at the time. How could I do such a thing? Please ask the Crown Prince to plead for us, an orphan and a widow, and spare us!"

Luo Nianxi looked coldly at Du Xiaoyue, whose face had turned pale with fear, and the two children who were sobbing, and sighed softly.

"The Crown Prince does not want to argue with you this time, but as a punishment, you will be expelled from Chang'an City and find a place to live on your own!"

Du Xiaoyue looked at her as if she didn't understand.

"You really won't kill us?"

"You just listened to other people's slander, but fortunately you didn't make a big mistake. The prince will spare you because of the two children's surname Leng. But I hope that from now on, you change your name, take your children away from the capital, live the life of an ordinary citizen, and don't mention your past to others. In this way, perhaps you can live a stable life."

Her words surprised Du Xiaoyue.

When someone told her that Leng Yiyan wanted to kill her and her daughter to silence them, she was filled with fear. She thought that since they were all going to die anyway, she might as well just kill Leng Yiyan to relieve her hatred.

But she never thought that she was just listening to other people's slander.

She knelt on the ground in regret, shaking her head in pain.

"I am so foolish. How could I think of bringing a child to do such a stupid thing? Thank you, Your Excellency, for not taking my fault into account. Thank you, Princess, for your leniency."

Seeing that she had admitted her mistake, Luo Nianxi nodded slightly, and then instructed Bai Lan:

"Give them a hundred taels of silver and prepare a carriage to take them out of the city."

Hearing this, Du Xiaoyue looked at her in confusion.

"Crown Princess, what are you doing?"

Her eyes showed her sympathy for Du Xiaoyue.

"If you continue to live in Chang'an City, when the children grow up, they will definitely be looked down upon by others. Instead of that, it is better to take them to a new place to live and have a new beginning. It will be good for them and for you. I hope you can understand my intention."

Du Xiaoyue nodded heavily with tears in her eyes, then pulled the two children and knelt down in front of Luo Nianxi.

"In fact, I have long wanted to leave here and go to a place where no one recognizes us to make a fire, but I don't have the courage, and I am penniless. I am afraid that I will have nowhere to go. Now that the Crown Princess has pardoned us and provided us with money, the three of us, mother and daughter, would like to thank you for your great kindness."

After saying this, she pulled the two children and kowtowed continuously.

"Get up. There will be more and more people coming to pay their respects to the emperor soon. It's better for you to stay out of the spotlight."

After hearing this, Du Xiaoyue pulled the children up, bowed to her again, and turned away with the two children.

Looking at the stumbling backs of the mother and her two daughters, Luo Nianxi felt indescribable feelings in her heart.

Just as she was about to turn around and burn some paper money for the emperor, Chuntao walked in quickly.

"Crown Princess, Lord Luo is here..."

Lord Luo?

She was stunned for a moment. She hadn't heard this name for a long time.

"Luo Yuanjian?"

"Well, the master said he wanted to see you."

Ever since Luo Nianqing followed Leng Yicheng to the suburbs, she hasn't seen Luo Yuanjian again. Why did he suddenly come today?

To commemorate the emperor?

impossible.

The ministers had a unified time for memorial services, so he didn't have to make a special trip.

Did he come to find himself?

What could be the reason for coming to see her at this time?

However, since the person has already come, there is no reason for her to refuse to see him.

"Please ask him to go to the side hall..."

After saying this, she glanced in the direction of the emperor's coffin, raised her foot, and walked towards the door.

As soon as she arrived at the side hall, Luo Yuanjian came in.

Luo Nianxi didn't have much good feelings towards this father whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and even felt a little disgusted with him.

"What are you here for?"

Luo Yuanjian took two steps forward and looked at her with a guilty look on his face.

"Nian Xi, I haven't seen you for a long time..."

"Lord Luo, call me Crown Princess. If you have something important to say, please tell me. If not, please go back. I'm very busy..."

She had no intention of listening to his meaningless hypocritical words.

What's more, if he cared about her, would he show up at this time?

He just knew that the emperor had passed away, and wanted Leng Yiyan to ascend the throne and become emperor, so he came to please him.

In other words, he knew that Leng Yicheng was planning to rebel and wanted to paved the way for his good son-in-law.

Apart from these two possibilities, she couldn't think of any other purpose for him coming here.

Her address made Luo Yuanjian a little unhappy, but he did not show it.

He nodded secretly.

"You are addressing me correctly. You should call me Lord Luo, and I should call you Crown Princess. I came here today because I have something to give you."

As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his arms.

"This is what I found on you when I picked you up. I lost it later. I didn't expect it to reappear when I was packing my things a few days ago. I thought it might be related to your identity and might be helpful to you. Please take it back."

Luo Yuanjian had never mentioned anything about this jade pendant before, so Luo Nianxi naturally didn't know about it.

Now seeing him take out a strange jade pendant and say it was hers, how could she dare to believe it?

"Lord Luo, I don't care where this jade pendant came from, please take it back. I don't want it..."
