Leng Yiyan turned to look at her and reminded her solemnly,

"You have to find a way to explain what happened last night. The character of the eldest daughter of the Luo family doesn't match yours, so you have to explain it too. If you're not careful, the emperor will summon your father to confront you. If you're really the eldest daughter of the Luo family, then it's easy to deal with. If not..."

At this point, he sighed with some resentment.

Although he also suspected that she was not the eldest daughter of the Luo family, but seeing that she had not done anything to hurt him and even took good care of him, he did not want to mention it again. He would rather remain ignorant.

But the person the emperor ordered to marry was the eldest daughter of the Luo family. If she was an imposter, she would be in great danger this time.

Although he was worried, he did not show it.

His words reminded Luo Nianxi.

She shrugged casually and brought the bowl of porridge to his mouth.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. I, Luo Nianxi, have a clear conscience. I am not afraid of the emperor's investigation, nor am I afraid that he will ask my father to confront me. You should eat first!"

"I'm not hungry……"

He has lost interest in eating.

"How can that be? You said that you should listen to me about eating and drinking, so you must listen to me..."

"I'm afraid you... won't be here long..."

He agreed to eat because she promised to heal him. If she was gone, what was the point of him eating more?

She snorted lightly,

"If I want to leave, no one can stop me. If I don't want to leave, no one can drive me away..."

Her tone was so firm, her stubborn character, and her tone of not wanting to submit to anyone made Leng Yiyan feel uneasy.

Prince's Mansion

Leng Yicheng was furious at the news that the emperor came to Prince Yan's mansion early in the morning.

He looked at the ghost standing in front of him, shaking his sleeves angrily.

"After this mistake, they will definitely take precautions. It will be difficult to succeed next time. You really disappoint me..."

The ghost replied calmly,

"Your Highness, I will not take a single cent of the money, and I don't want to take on this business anymore. I don't want to live on the edge of a knife anymore."

This sentence made Leng Yicheng even angrier. He took a deep breath and glared at him.

"Hmph! You want to stop now? It's too late! Do you know that the wanted warrants for your arrest are all over the entire Pingyang Kingdom? As long as you are in Pingyang, no matter where you show up, it will be difficult to escape unscathed. However, if you want to retire, I can help you. That is to kill Leng Yiyan. I will send someone to escort you out of the city. After I ascend the throne, I will order the cancellation of all wanted notices for your arrest, so that you can live like a normal person. How about that?"

At this point, seeing the ghost hesitate, he blinked cunningly and continued:

"Oh, by the way, I heard that you married two wives, and both of them are pregnant? I should congratulate you!"

These words immediately filled the ghost's face with gloom.

He raised his cold eyes and looked at him.

"Leng Yicheng, if you dare to hurt my wife and children, I will make your Prince's Mansion a river of blood."

"Hahaha……"

His threat was simply a joke to Leng Yicheng. He couldn't help but howl to the sky and then taunted:

"Ghost, ghost, don't you understand that the arm cannot beat the thigh? Even if you are good at martial arts, the guards of the Prince's Mansion are not vegetarians, and the soldiers stationed in Chang'an City are not just pretending. If you don't believe me, you can come and try."

These words made the ghost's eyes flash with a cold look.

Over the years, he has killed countless people and accumulated a huge fortune. After learning that his two women were pregnant with his children, he decided to retire after finishing Leng Yicheng's business, take his wealth, wife and children, find a place where no one recognizes him, and live an ordinary life.

But who could have thought that he, who always killed people when he attacked, actually failed this time.

Leng Yicheng's words made him realize that it was impossible for him to leave Chang'an City smoothly.

But he really didn't want to kill anymore, he wanted to accumulate some good karma for his children.

Seeing him standing there hesitating, Leng Yicheng's eyes flashed with a sinister look.

"I know that you have saved enough silver and want to stop. This is a good thing. I should support you, but since you have accepted my job, you must see it through to the end. How about this? As long as you kill Leng Yiyan, I will never make things difficult for you. I will give you another 10,000 taels of silver and let you and your woman leave Chang'an City. From now on, your name will disappear from the world of martial arts..."

Although he did not want to agree to this condition, he knew very well that at this point, he no longer had the right to choose.

When he was alone before, he was fearless and no one could threaten him.

But now he has a wife and a child is about to be born, he dare not and cannot take any risk.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and nodded angrily.

"Okay, I hope His Royal Highness will keep his word."

Seeing that he finally agreed, Leng Yicheng had a smug smile on his face.

Although Leng Yiyan was paralyzed in bed and no longer posed a threat to him, he still hated him to the core. Only when he died and was buried would he feel at peace.

The main hall of Prince Yan's Mansion

The emperor and the empress sat high in the main hall, while Luo Yuanjian and his wife Huang stood below, looking servile and at a loss.

The emperor suddenly slammed the table and spoke,

"Luo Yuanjian, you dare to deceive me, you are so brave!"

This sentence made Luo Yuanjian kneel down immediately without knowing why. Seeing this, Huang also trembled and knelt down as well.

Although they didn't know what had happened, they could guess that the emperor summoned them to Prince Yan's Mansion, and this matter must be related to Luo Nianxi.

Huang secretly swallowed her saliva and raised her head cautiously.

"Your Majesty, is it... is it that Nian Xi did something wrong?"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's face suddenly turned pale.

"Hmph, you are quite clever, Luo Yuanjian. When I issued the decree to grant Yan'er a marriage, you said in person that your daughter was born with a gentle temperament, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and never had to touch a woman's body... But now Luo Nianxi, who has married into the Prince Yan's Mansion, is completely different from what you said. How do you want to explain this?"

Luo Yuanjian looked confused and blinked several times. Seeing the emperor's grim expression, he hurriedly explained,

"Your Majesty, I dare not lie. My eldest daughter Luo Nianxi is indeed as I said. She would not make any mistakes. I wonder what mistake she made in Prince Yan's Mansion that angered Your Majesty?"

Huang also nodded in agreement.

"Yes, if she makes any mistakes, the Emperor and the Empress will just beat and scold her. I have watched her grow up since she was a child. She is timid, and as long as someone scares her, she will be as obedient as a kitten."

The more Luo Yuanjian and Huang said this, the more the emperor frowned.

"Luo Yuanjian, as far as I know, Luo Nianxi, who married into Prince Yan's mansion, is not only bold, but also arrogant. She was able to make a chair with wheels with her bare hands, and took Yan'er out without permission, which attracted assassins to Prince Yan's mansion and almost hurt Yan'er. Not only that, she also made some strange noises to scare everyone. The whole mansion was in chaos because of her arrival..."
