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

Huizhong was so scared that she dropped the broom in her hand. Luo Nianxi also looked up and saw the abbot walking towards them angrily.

The moment she saw the host, Huizhong immediately put away her pride.

"Teacher...Master..."

"Huizhong, what are you doing?"

"I...I'm teaching her to sweep the floor."

"Hmph! Don't think I don't know that you bullied Master Luo. I just wanted to give you a chance to reform, but I never thought that you would bully her again and again. You are really too brave."

Seeing the master getting angry, Huizhong suddenly fell to his knees with a plop.

"Master, I was wrong. I know I was wrong."

"If I keep you here any longer, I will be aiding and abetting the evil, so leave now!"

"Master, I can't leave. I have nowhere to go now. Master, please don't chase me away. I was wrong. I know I was wrong."

The host was not moved at all. She let her kneel at her feet and kept pulling at the corner of her clothes, but she did not move at all.

"Host..."

Luo Nianxi took two steps forward. After all, she didn't want to stay here for long. If Huizhong's life was cut off because of her, she couldn't bear it.

"Hui Zhong didn't do anything to me. Although her words were a bit extreme, I can't blame her. If you expel her from the sect because of me, I will feel guilty."

"Master Luo, you are worrying too much. I expelled her from the sect because she is usually harsh to others. It has nothing to do with you."

Since it had nothing to do with her, there was no need for her to plead for her.

"Since it has nothing to do with me, I won't bother with anything else. I'll go get busy first."

"Master Luo, in three days, the Emperor will bring the Crown Prince to the temple to pray for blessings. Everyone may have a hard time these few days...

On the surface, the abbot seemed to be giving her instructions, but in fact, she wanted to reveal the news to her.

After all, she is the prince's biological mother, and even if she is deposed, it cannot change this fact.

The abbot was a smart person and had experienced it before. She had heard about the relationship between the emperor and the queen.

Now the Queen has come to stay at Gratitude Temple temporarily. Although the Emperor has issued an imperial decree to depose the Queen, it must have been out of a momentary rage.

This time, the emperor and the prince chose to come to Gratitude Temple to pray for blessings, which made her vaguely realize that the emperor's trip was related to her.

Although she had known that Huizhong had been bullying her since the emperor's edict to depose the empress was sent to Gratitude Temple, she had always turned a blind eye.

A deposed queen is no longer the same as before. Although she brought silver when she first came, she had to keep it for other uses.

If she stayed in Gratitude Temple for one more day, she would waste more of the temple's food, and Huizhong would bully her away sooner. The silver would be left in the temple and she would have no worries.

But just now, she learned that the emperor was going to bring the prince to pray for blessings, and she immediately guessed that the emperor's trip might be related to the deposed queen, so she ran here without stopping, thinking of using Huizhong to please Luo Nianxi.

In the afternoon, Bai Lan and Chun Tao came back. They went to see that the two children who died in the village were not Jin Yan and Jin Yu. This made her feel sad for the two dead children, but also a little relieved.

"Madam, when we just came back, we heard that the emperor and the prince were coming. Why don't you apologize to the emperor?"

"A good horse never turns back. I have nothing to do with him anymore, so why should I admit my mistake?"

"Can't you see this? The emperor came to Gratitude Temple to pray for blessings just to see you!"

"Okay, pack up, we'll leave here tomorrow."

leave?

Hearing this, Bai Lan and Chun Tao looked at her together.

"The Crown Prince is here, won't you go see him?"

"As long as he lives a good life, why should I see him?"

"But... just now when we came back, we heard that the emperor had issued an order that no one was allowed to leave before he came to pray. I thought he might have said this to you."

'Ah! ’

She gave a sad smile.

He was able to give her a divorce letter, no matter if he was angry or for some other reason, it already showed that the feelings between him and her were gone.

Her idea of ​​leaving Gratitude Temple was ultimately not realized.

Even Huizhong, who was expelled from the temple by the abbot, was stopped in the temple by the officials who arrived early. It was not easy for them to get out.

During these days, no one was allowed to go out of Gratitude Temple or come in. The people in the temple cleaned the entire Gratitude Temple spotlessly and cleaned the guest rooms in the backyard over and over again, waiting for the emperor's arrival.

three days later

The emperor's dragon chariot landed outside the Gratitude Temple surrounded by the crowd. Accompanying him were not only Leng Jinjie, who was about to be crowned the crown prince, but also the emperor's favorite concubine, Empress Cheng.

It is said that Empress Cheng was a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River. She came from a wealthy family and was as gentle as jade. After entering the palace, she was deeply loved by the emperor, so he appointed her as a concubine.

Although she was not among the imperial concubines, the emperor brought her to the Gratitude Temple to pray for blessings, which shows how much he doted on her.

Luo Nianxi was wearing monk's robes and a monk's hat, standing in the crowd.

Her eyes never left Jinjie.

After Jinjie got off the bus, he seemed to be looking for her eagerly, but there were many people here, and everyone was wearing the same monk's robes. In addition, she kept her head down. He looked around and finally let down his eyes in disappointment.

After the emperor got off the dragon chariot, he turned around and extended his hand to the gentle and graceful Empress He, and then reminded her loudly,

"My dear Concubine Cheng, please be careful."

Concubine Cheng seemed to have gotten used to his care. She put her hand on his palm, nodded happily, then lifted her skirt, and with the help of her maid, followed him into the main courtyard of the temple. Then, led by the abbot, she went to the backyard prepared in advance to stay.

Everything was normal, but Luo Nianxi felt inexplicably sad.

She really couldn't figure out why he changed his mind so quickly?

Thinking back to the beginning, he repeatedly told her that he would only love her for the rest of his life.

But why was he so gentle to that woman?

Since he is nice to other women, why would he appear in front of her and make her feel upset?

She returned to the room in a daze. Just as she was about to lie down, she saw Bai Lan coming with Hong Yan.

Hong Yan knelt down in front of the bed and looked at her with tears in his eyes.

"My lady..."

The moment she saw Hong Yan, her heart ached with hatred.

She stepped forward and helped her up, "Hong Yan, are you okay? I left you alone in the palace to take care of Jinjie. Thank you for your hard work."

Hong Yan's tears poured down like a flood that broke through a dam.

"My queen, why did you never come back? Jinjie missed you so much that he cried secretly every night..."

"Where's Jinjie? Why didn't he come?"

Hong Yan shook his head helplessly.

"The Emperor doesn't allow it. He wants to come, but he doesn't dare."

"Where is he? I'll go see him."

"My lady..."

Hong Yan held him back.

"The emperor is no longer the same emperor as before. Even if you go, you may not be able to see Jinjie."
