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

Luo Nianxi thought she must have heard it wrong. The presence of Leng Rujing and Mo Xiaowan in Prince Yan's Mansion was already enough to make her irritable. What about the Emperor and the Empress moving in? That would be really lively here.

But the emperor didn't seem to be joking, and the queen nodded excitedly.

"Your Majesty, this is a great idea. I just want to accompany Yan'er."

In this way, the emperor and the queen stayed in Prince Yan's Mansion, and Luo Nianxi gave the largest courtyard in the east wing: Xiangcao Garden, to the two big Buddhas to live in.

After settling the emperor and empress, she ordered people to move all the plants to the main courtyard. She wanted to observe them carefully so as to determine the reason for their sudden wilting.

Luo Nianxi touched the leaves and roots of the flowers, picked up a handful of soil and smelled it, frowning in surprise.

"This soil has a smell, like soap..."

Bai Lan stood behind her and reminded her quietly,

"Princess, when I was a child, my family raised many flowers, so I know a little bit about how to grow flowers. These flowers suddenly wilted, and so many of them wilted at the same time. It must be man-made. There are only two possibilities. Either there is something wrong with the water used to water the flowers, or the roots of these flowers are injured..."

Bai Lan's words made Luo Nianxi suddenly realize what was going on. She waved to Yong Yan and Yong He.

"Pull out these two pots of flowers and check if there is any damage to the roots."

After hearing this, Yongyan and Yonghe followed her instructions and pulled out a flower each. After inspection, they found that there was no problem with the roots of the flowers.

Luo Nianxi then looked at Bai Lan.

"It seems to be a problem with watering, but those two girls have been in charge of watering the flowers. I also asked them, and they used the same water as usual."

"Is it possible that someone deliberately doesn't want these flowers to live?"

Qiuhua's words made Luo Nianxi seem to understand something.

Yes, if someone deliberately tampered with these flowers, then these flowers would naturally not survive.

She half-closed her eyes and pondered for a while, then instructed Chuntao:

"Go to the Vanilla Garden and report to the Emperor and the Empress that I have found the reason why these flowers are wilting. Tomorrow morning, I will be able to bring them back to life."

Hearing her say this, the three girls looked at her in astonishment.

"Princess, this... this is impossible."

"Yes, Princess, these flowers are wilting. If we don't find out the reason, I'm afraid they will slowly rot and die. How can they come back to life tomorrow?"

Seeing that the three of them had doubts about this, she immediately waved her hand.

"Do as I say. If everything goes as expected, the murderer of these flowers is in the mansion. Tonight, we will make her show up."

Chuntao still didn't understand, but she followed Luo Nianxi's instructions and went to Vanilla Garden to reply.

Luo Nianxi waved to Bai Lan and Qiu Hua. They put their ears close to her. After she whispered a few words in their ears, they nodded in agreement, seemingly understanding what she meant.

"Will the wilted flowers in the palace come back to life tomorrow morning?"

When the news reached Jubao Pavilion, Leng Rujing was furious.

She pointed at the leaves and shouted angrily,

"Didn't you say this time it would be foolproof? How could this happen?"

Ye Zi's face flushed and she shook her head vigorously.

"Princess, I don't know what's going on. Just now I saw her and two other people spraying something on those flowers. Has she found a way to bring these plants back to life?"

"Humph!"

Leng Rujing snorted softly.

"No matter what method she uses, these flowers and plants will not survive. As long as these flowers are dead tomorrow morning, let's see how she explains it to the emperor and the queen."

As she spoke, a sinister and sharp look flashed in her eyes.

Yanjing Palace

Queen Jiang had just come, and Leng Yiyan didn't give her a good look. He just said a few polite words to her. She comforted him with a few words, then got up and left.

After seeing off Queen Jiang, Luo Nianxi couldn't help but persuade him,

"After all, the Queen is the one who gave birth to you. How could you talk to her like that? She must be so sad!"

"Oh! The people who gave birth to me don't trust me at all..."

"No matter what, you still have a mother to call yours, but I don't even know who my biological mother is. Maybe I don't even have a biological father..."

Thinking of this, she lowered her head somewhat dejectedly. She felt sad for the original owner as well as for her parents in her previous life.

Leng Yiyan suddenly fell silent. He turned to look at Luo Nianxi and asked in a rare calm tone:

"Don't you know who your mother is? Why do you say your father is not your biological son?"

Speaking of this, Luo Nianxi couldn't help but frown. At the moment, she couldn't tell this matter, otherwise Luo Yuanjian would be suspected of deceiving the emperor, and her identity would also be suspicious.

So, she could only shake her head and smile bitterly.

"If he was my biological father, how could he have the heart to marry me here? Why didn't he let my good sister marry him?"

This……

Leng Yiyan was immediately speechless. Yes, the Prince Yan's Mansion was a hellhole. A woman who married into the mansion not only had to live as a widow, but also had to serve a disabled man like him.

"Can I really stand up?"

He asked this question countless times, and she patiently explained it countless times.

But today she didn't want to explain.

"No matter how many times I tell you, you won't believe me. Give me another month, and then you'll know whether it's true or not."

A month?

He looked up at the ceiling and suddenly laughed at himself.

"If I ever stand up again, what should I do first?"

He actually longed for it and had even begun to fantasize about that day.

"Hold me!"

She looked at him teasingly, and his face flushed, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, she hurriedly explained:

"As for me, if I help you stand up, I will be your savior. You should thank me very much. Besides giving me money, asking for a hug is not too much, right?"

“Not too much…”

Although he still doubted this woman at this time, he felt that he was more willing to listen to this woman.

Her voice, like a spring breeze, always warms his heart.

"Luo Nianxi, if I can really stand up, will you take the silver and leave?"

This question made Luo Nianxi hesitate. She only had sympathy for this man now, but no feelings for him. When the time came, she was not sure whether she would stay.

She felt that this man probably had the same idea as her. They were just people living in two different tracks, brought together by money and power.

Presumably, he didn't want her to stay here forever, and it seemed like she had no reason to stay.

Thinking of this, she nodded decisively.

"Of course, if you pay me the full amount, I won't stay for another day."

These words seemed like a heavy hammer hitting Leng Yiyan's heart.

He didn't know why he suddenly felt so empty. Didn't he hate this woman? Didn't he doubt this woman? Why did he feel sad again when he heard that she was leaving?

He suppressed his emotions, breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"I see. You go out first. I want to sleep for a while."

He wasn't actually sleepy, he just felt a little chest tightness and wanted to breathe. He felt that he would have difficulty breathing if there was one more person breathing the same air with him.

This feeling made him feel very confused.

She didn't notice anything unusual about him. Anyway, she had important things to do and was eager to leave here as soon as possible.

"Okay, then you take a rest. I'll be out first."

"Ugh……"

He wanted to talk to her again, but found that she had already walked towards the door.

He turned around and looked at her back, and an inexplicable sadness surged in his heart...
