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

Leng Yiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and replied arrogantly:

"She was a traitor. She took you to see the Crown Prince without my permission. She has to thank you for the beating she received."

Hearing this, she was so angry that her teeth itched.

"Leng Yiyan, you are so despicable."

"You dare to scold me? Do you want to be whipped like her?"

"you dare……"

There was a gleam of anger in her eyes...

Cheng Fei, who was sitting next to him, gently pinched his thigh and said softly:

"Your Majesty, she is your wife after all. It would be a bit cruel to whip her. Why not let her learn to bark like a dog and let me hear it?"

This sentence made Luo Nianxi extremely angry. She thought that even if Leng Yiyan was angry about her leaving, he would not come to humiliate her.

But what she didn't expect was that Leng Yiyan actually nodded in agreement.

"My beloved concubine, this is a good suggestion. Luo Nianxi, didn't you hear what my beloved concubine Cheng said? Hurry up and lie on the ground and learn to bark like a dog..."

"Yes, quickly learn to bark like a dog!"

"Giggle..."

The women's laughter and the men's provocative voices mixed together, making people not only angry but also heartbroken.

She clenched her fists, stared at Leng Yiyan, and uttered a few words,

"Leng Yiyan, you haven't changed, you've been possessed by evil spirits, you've been possessed by a demon, you're not the Leng Yiyan I knew at all."

Her words made Leng Yiyan's expression tense. Cheng Fei also stopped laughing, cleared her throat, and waved to her.

"You're just annoying to look at. Someone, kick her out. Stop annoying people here."

The emperor also frowned and nodded.

"Yes, get out, get out."

Luo Nianxi's heart was beating wildly.

She looked at Hong Yan, who was beaten all over, and said through gritted teeth:

"You've let out your anger after beating her like this, so let her go!"

Her voice softened.

The emperor's eyebrows flickered and he waved his hands impatiently.

"Drag her away. This servant has no vision. She is not allowed to enter the palace again."

Hearing this, Luo Nianxi stepped forward, helped Hong Yan up, took one last look at Leng Yiyan, and helped her leave.

The sky gradually darkened, but the lights in Gratitude Temple were still bright.

Until the emperor goes to bed, no one dares to sleep.

While applying medicine to Hong Yan, Luo Nianxi said softly:

"Do you think that this person is most likely not the original emperor?"

Hong Yan turned around and looked at her in surprise.

"Mother, what do you mean?"

"Leng Yiyan, I am too familiar with him, but the current emperor is very different from the previous Leng Yiyan. Even the way he frowns, his eyes, and his gestures are very different, although he is trying his best to cover it up."

Hearing her say this, Hong Yan ignored the pain in his body and sat up.

"Your Highness, now that you mention it, it suddenly occurred to me that the Emperor did become like this overnight."

"Hong Yan, tell me what happened after I left."

She wanted to know everything now so that she would know what to do next.

Hong Yan pondered for a while and began to talk about the past.

It turned out that in the month after she left, the emperor's mental state was not good. He was listless all day long and seemed like he was sick.

In the second month after she left, the emperor's spirits had finally recovered a little, but he caught a cold and had to stay in bed for half a month. During this half month, all the memorials were handled by Prince Duan.

In the third month after she left, the emperor's spirits improved a lot. It was also this month that the emperor wrote to her, asking her to return to the palace, but she refused.

When the emperor learned that she was unwilling to return to the palace, he fell ill again.

Later one day, the emperor suddenly became alert, and as the war at the border was urgent, he issued an order to Leng Yifei to take Su Yi, Jiang Hai, Ling Yun and several generals in the army to guard the border.

For this reason, the Eighth Prince Leng Jin stepped forward to stop it, but was confined by the Emperor's order.

Next, he promoted several concubines and promoted a grand tutor in a short period of time. Last month, he threw Leng Yixing into the Sky Prison. All of this was exactly as Bai Lan had described to her.

After hearing this, she became more nervous.

After a while, she slowly spoke.

"I dare to conclude that this emperor is definitely not the Leng Yiyan I know."

Hong Yan looked at her with eyes wide open in astonishment.

"But he looks exactly like the emperor, how could he not be?"

"He can fool others, but he can't fool me. Hong Yan, pack up and leave immediately after they leave tomorrow."

"Then...Will Jinjie be in danger?"

"No, Jinjie will soon be crowned as the crown prince. He will not touch Jinjie in the short term. We must find a way to find out the truth about this matter."

At this point, her heart was filled with worry.

With her understanding of Leng Yiyan over the years, she was sure that the emperor she met today was not Leng Yiyan. Even if Leng Yiyan was angry with her, he would not take it out on Jinjie, let alone humiliate her like this. So where was the real Leng Yiyan? Would he be in danger? Or had he been killed by these people?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she felt, and her whole body began to tremble unconsciously.

next day

The blessing ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince officially began. All the people in the Temple of Gratitude sat in the main hall, beating wooden fish and starting to chant scriptures.

Luo Nianxi was not a nun and could not enter the main hall, so she could only walk around the yard with a broom and then run to the front to peek at Jinjie.

The blessing ceremony ended quickly and the emperor quickly left with Jinjie.

Before leaving, Jinjie secretly looked back at her a few times, his eyes showing reluctance to leave her.

She nodded gently to him and told him not to be afraid and that she would come to him soon.

Watching Jinjie's thin figure climbing onto the carriage, her heart felt like it was blocked by a huge rock, making it hard for her to breathe.

Seeing that the emperor did not even glance at Luo Nianxi, the abbot changed his previous friendly expression towards her and directly instructed Huizhong:

"After he leaves, the courtyard where the emperor lived needs to be swept three times and mopped three times with water. The courtyard also needs to be mopped. Go and arrange for someone to do it!"

If Huizhong were asked to arrange someone, who would she arrange?

She raised her eyebrows proudly, picked up the broom, and threw it directly in front of Luo Nianxi.

"I originally thought that when the emperor came, you could charm him with your charming skills and then be taken back to the palace by him. I never expected that the emperor would not even look at you. In this case, stop pretending to be noble and get back to work!"

Bai Lan walked forward without hesitation and kicked the broom far away.

"Whoever wants to do this job can do it. This place is so shabby and full of smoke. We won't stay here anymore."

Upon hearing this, the abbot frowned, raised his hand, and the door was closed.

She looked at Luo Nianxi and snorted softly.

"You want to leave? It's not that easy."

Luo Nianxi frowned and looked at her.

"What do you mean by that? We have neither practiced cultivation nor received ordination here. Why won't you let us go?"

"Why? The emperor has ordered that you cannot leave here alive."
