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

When Mo Xiaowan learned the news, she immediately packed up her things and went to Prince Yan's Mansion with joy.

Leng Yiyan, who was basking in the sun in the yard, felt a little unhappy about her arrival, but did not show it.

"Brother Yan, I'm here to accompany you. I won't leave anymore."

Hearing this, Leng Yiyan frowned slightly.

"What do you mean?"

"Luo Nianxi is going to marry to the Northern Chu Kingdom, and the position of Princess Yan is vacant. The emperor said that if I am willing, this position will be mine."

Her words left Leng Yiyan confused.

He stared at her and questioned,

"what did you just say?"

Mo Xiaowan looked at him seriously.

"I said, Luo Nianxi was named the Princess Protector of the Nation by the Emperor, and tomorrow she will go to Northern Chu to get married with the Crown Prince Chu Hanxiang."

"impossible……"

Leng Yiyan suddenly roared in a low voice,

"Impossible, don't talk nonsense here."

"Brother Yan, the emperor has issued an edict, how dare I talk nonsense? Eunuch Lin will deliver the divorce letter between you and Luo Nianxi in a moment."

"Will not."

Leng Yiyan suddenly became a little irritable. Luo Nianxi had become an indispensable part of his life. If she left, he didn't know what he should do.

At this moment, Steward Lu and Eunuch Lin came closer. Lin Ming looked at Leng Yiyan with sympathy and handed him an imperial edict.

"Prince Yan, I won't read the imperial edict to you. Please read it yourself!"

Seeing this, Su Yi hurried forward, took the imperial edict, and spread it out in front of Leng Yiyan.

Leng Yiyan stared, reading carefully every word.

When he saw the end, he suddenly closed his eyes and roared,

"Take it away, take it away."

His actions frightened everyone present.

Just then, Luo Nianxi, Bai Lan and others ran in quickly.

She had originally thought that the imperial edict would arrive at Prince Yan's mansion before the other party, but she didn't expect that she would still be one step late.

She came to Leng Yiyan, looked at him with all the color gone from his face, and comforted him softly:

"Leng Yiyan, I'm back. Let's talk inside."

After saying that, she pushed him towards Yan Jing Palace. Some people wanted to step forward but were stopped by Ling Xiao.

Arriving at Yan Jing Palace, Luo Nianxi squatted in front of Leng Yiyan and saw that his eyes were already red.

She thought of what he had said to her in Bao'an Hall, and suddenly felt sad.

"Leng Yiyan, I'm sorry, I think I have to leave for a while."

"It seems that what they said is true..."

Although he had forgotten what he had said to her before leaving Bao'an Hall, his heart could not deceive him.

She bit her lip and nodded gently.

"Well, I know that this is actually a conspiracy by the people of Northern Chu. Chu Hanxiang thinks you are too powerful and wants to use this to suppress you."

"Did the emperor agree?"

"He... has no other choice. The enemy is approaching, and he can't just watch the people being killed by the enemy. If sacrificing me can keep the people of Pingyang safe, I think it's worth it."

"Ah!"

He raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, but the tears seemed to be impossible to wipe away and fell through his fingers.

He didn't know what tears were before, but since he met this woman, he has cried several times.

Now that he knew she shouldn't leave, he had no way to stop her.

Keeping her would be tantamount to disobeying the emperor's order. In his current state, he has no ability to compete with his father, nor does he have the ability to compete with the Northern Chu Kingdom.

He suddenly snorted.

"If you want to go, go..."

When he said these decisive words, his heart seemed to be torn apart by something.

"Leng Yiyan, before I leave, I will ask Ling Xiao to change your medicine. Believe me, in another month, you will be able to stand up."

After she said this, they both fell silent, and the air here seemed to freeze.

After a while, he gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and spoke.

"Northern Chu State, Chu Hanxiang, I will kill them sooner or later..."

"Leng Yiyan, if you still remember me after you stand up, come find me. I will wait for you."

She didn't know why she said this, she just felt that going to Northern Chu was just a temporary solution and she would come back.

He looked up at her.

"If I can stand up, I will go to Northern Chu to find you. If you are happy, I will not disturb you. If you are unhappy, I will do my best to bring you back."

This was the only promise he could give her.

Luo Nianxi suddenly grinned.

"Okay, then let's make a deal. I'll wait for you."

"Luo Nianxi, thank you for accompanying me through the darkest period of my life."

He felt that what he said was a bit pretentious, but if he didn't say it, he would have no chance.

Luo Nianxi suddenly smiled sadly.

"I will not be by your side on this road ahead. You have to walk on your own."

"Well, take care of yourself too."

On the surface, they looked like a pair of ordinary friends, saying goodbye to each other before leaving.

In fact, Leng Yiyan's heart was really aching at this moment, but he had no way to change anything. The more than one hundred days of being paralyzed in bed had made him see many things clearly.

Even if he went to his father to ask for help now, he would eventually return in vain and would not be able to change anything.

Who has the power to change what the emperor has already decided?

That night was the last time they lay in the same bed, occasionally talking to each other and occasionally being silent for a while, but neither of them felt sleepy.

"Luo Nianxi, if Chu Hanxiang treats you well, will you fall in love with him?"

This question left Luo Nianxi at a loss as to how to answer.

"I don't know, but I'm glad that before I leave, I can guarantee that you will stand up one day. This is worth our acquaintance."

Her words caused him to fall into silence for a moment.

"If one day you are not doing well, please write to me and I will come to you."

Whenever he thought about her leaving early tomorrow morning, his heart ached.

"Don't worry, no matter where I go, no one dares to bully me."

He believed this. There were always countless things about her that couldn't be explained.

Leng Yiyan did not sleep all night, and Luo Nianxi only dozed off in the second half of the night. That night, they talked a lot...

Listening to her even breathing, Leng Yiyan raised his hand, wanting to touch her face, but finally stopped his hand in mid-air.

He looked at her carefully. He wanted to see every corner of her face clearly. He wanted to remember her face, remember the woman who gave him a second life.

Just as the sky was getting light, there was a knock on the door.

"Princess, someone has come from the palace to help you dress up..."

Hearing this, Leng Yiyan's expression suddenly became nervous. Luo Nianxi opened her eyes and saw him looking at her.

"You...didn't sleep?"

He shook his head,

"not sleepy."

"I... am leaving."

"Well, let's go!"

She stood up and walked down the stairs. Before leaving, she stopped and looked back at him.

"Leng Yiyan, see you later."

"I……"

He bit his lips tightly and looked at her. He wanted to hold her back and tell her not to leave...

"What do you want to say?"

"Can I hug you?"

She once asked him what he would most like to do if he could move his hands freely.

He wanted to tell her now, he wanted to hug her...
