After saying this, he bit his lip, stood up, turned around, and ran away without looking back.

"Sincerely..."

She didn't expect that Jinyan, whom she always thought was obedient and sensible, would say those words to her.

Although what he said was true, she still felt chilled when he said it, and she felt as if she was being lied to.

After a while, Bai Lan walked lightly and whispered:

"My lady, Jinyu is here. Do you... still want to see her?"

She raised her hand to her forehead, forced herself to cheer up, and nodded.

"Let her come in. If you want to talk, just say it all at once. It's better to suffer once than to suffer forever."

"My slave understands."

Bai Lan replied quietly, then turned and walked away.

She leaned back in the chair and let out a weak breath. She seemed to have aged a lot in that instant.

Today was unusually long for her, and seemed to be the longest day since she came here.

She felt very tired, not physically, but mentally.

But she will have to face these things sooner or later, and the matter of enthroning the crown prince is just a fuse.

After a while, Jinyu walked in quickly.

When she saw Luo Nianxi's pale face, she stepped forward and asked worriedly:

"Mother, what's wrong with you? You look so bad? Are you sick? Do you want to see a royal doctor?"

She held Jinyu's hand distressedly, shook her head, and smiled bitterly.

"Mom is fine, sit down, I have something to tell you."

"Mom, I just saw Brother Jinyan running back crying. What happened to him?"

Thinking of Jinyan's sad look, she breathed a sigh of relief and murmured:

"Your brother Jinyan found out about his life experience and found it hard to accept for a while. He was a little sad."

Jinyu blinked a few times and asked curiously,

"His background? What background?"

"Jinyu, listen to what mother has to say. Actually, like Jinyan, you are not my biological child..."

"Mom, are you trying to make Jinyu happy?"

Jinyu suddenly grinned.

"Just now, the Third Imperial Uncle came to me and asked me if I could recognize him as my father. Now you are saying the same thing. Are you guys teaming up to tease me?"

"Jinyu..."

She held his hand and looked at her seriously.

"I'm not kidding you. What I said is true. Now listen to me and I'll tell you a story."

Having said that, she held her hand tightly and told her the whole story of Mo Xiaowan sending her to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Jinyu looked at her as if she didn't understand.

"Since I am the Third Uncle's child, why don't you send me to Prince Duan's Mansion? Why do you want me to be your daughter?"

Her emotions were very stable, which surprised Luo Nianxi.

She looked at her big, twinkling eyes and said softly:

"There are some things that mother cannot explain at the moment. Back then, your mother had her own difficulties, and your father was helpless. As for me, your mother, I had no choice. In short, you have to believe that we all love you, and you have the final say on where you want to live in the future."

Jinyu seemed not to understand and continued to ask,

"What about my mother? Where is she?"

"She... Mother doesn't know where she is, but she should come back to see you in the future."

Jinyu's emotions are much calmer than Jinyan's.

After thinking for a while, she bit her lip and nodded.

"Mother, please give me some time to think about it, okay?"

She raised her hand, touched her hair, and looked at her distressedly.

"Okay, Queen Mother doesn't want you to leave us. I told you the truth today because I didn't want to lie to you, your father, or myself. I hope you can understand this."

Jinyu leaned into her arms as before and said coquettishly:

"Don't worry, mother. I won't cry or get angry like Brother Jinyan. Even though I'm not your biological daughter, you and father have given me the same love as my biological parents over the years. I'm very grateful to you for raising me. As for where I choose to live in the future, let me think about it first!"

"it is good."

She stroked her hair with relief, "Thank you for understanding me. Promise me that you will help me persuade your brother Jinyan when you return. He has always been a thoughtful person since he was a child. I am afraid that he will get sick because he cannot get over it."

Jinyu nodded sensibly.

"Don't worry, mother. I will persuade my brother. You can take a rest. I will go back first."

She is so sensible, it really makes people feel distressed.

"Go ahead. Mother has a headache. Take a nap."

Jinyu stood up from her arms, grinned as he looked at her, and then waved goodbye to her.

Fortunately, Jinyu is sensible, otherwise, her heart would really be torn apart.

……

three days later

Leng Yiyan was sick, but he refused to see Luo Nianxi or call the imperial physician.

She knew that he was still angry with her. It was not his fault. Anyone would be angry if they were in the same situation.

She immediately came to the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and knelt there.

Bai Lan and Chun Tao stood beside her and wanted to hold an umbrella for her, but she drove them away.

"I'm here to apologize to the emperor, not to enjoy the cool air. Everyone, get out of the way."

Bai Lan was so distressed that she almost cried.

"My lady, it's so hot today. You're kneeling here. What if you get a heat stroke?"

"No one will die, retreat."

"My lady..."

"Back off..."

Her voice became sharp. Bai Lan hesitated to speak and finally stood aside.

Inside the Yangxin Hall

Leng Yiyan lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, not saying a word.

He was not angry because the two children were not his own flesh and blood, he was angry because she lied to him, and lied to him for six years.

This made him wonder, could it be that her feelings for him were also fake? Was it also a lie?

Ling Yun came closer and whispered:

"Your Majesty, the Queen has been kneeling outside the palace for two hours."

"Go back."

He didn't want to talk or hear anything about her.

Ling Yun had no choice but to retreat.

At night, Ling Yun came again to report,

"Your Majesty, the Queen has been kneeling for five hours..."

"Stand down, I'm tired, turn off the lights!"

It’s not that he didn’t feel sorry for her, this time, he was really heartbroken.

Seeing that the lights in the Hall of Mental Cultivation were turned off, she was still kneeling there, not moving at all.

Ling Yun came over and comforted her softly.

"Your Highness, please go back. The Emperor has already fallen asleep."

But she shook her head and said nothing.

He is stubborn, but she is even more stubborn than him.

She wouldn't get up until she knelt down and he forgave her.

Night fell quickly, and she still knelt there without moving.

At this time, Chuntao came running over crying.

"My queen, something bad has happened. Jinyan and Jinyu are missing."

Hearing this, she frowned and raised her head.

"what happened?"

Chuntao cried and said:

"I don't know either. They were still here during lunch, but they were gone when Master Zhou asked them to go to class in the afternoon. I asked Jinjie, but he didn't know either."

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi felt dizzy and then she collapsed to the ground.

So many things happened that day, so many that she was overwhelmed and felt powerless.

"Niangniang, Niangniang..."

After everyone called out to her in panic for a while, they helped her back to Chaofeng Palace.
