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

The third concubine asked in a low voice:

"Your Highness, we are not sick, why do we need to take your pulse?"

"Shut up."

Chu Hanxiang shouted again in displeasure.

"Have you forgotten what I just said? Xi girl can do whatever she wants, and you have no right to ask."

The three concubines were so angry that they gnashed their teeth, but dared not say anything.

Chu Hanxiang then turned around and looked at Luo Nianxi lovingly.

"Xi girl, these women are your slaves. You can order them around as you please. If anyone dares to disobey, you can beat them. If anyone still refuses to obey, come find me directly."

Luo Nianxi frowned slightly and nodded.

"Ah."

Chu Hanxiang then stood up from his original position.

"I still have things to deal with. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being merciless."

Leaving these words behind, she said to Luo Nianxi gently:

"Xi girl, I'll be back to have dinner with you in the evening. If you feel tired, take a rest and don't hurt yourself."

Chu Hanxiang had completely different expressions when facing her and the six women.

She looked at the six women with eager eyes and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I understand."

Seeing that she agreed, Chu Hanxiang turned and left.

He spoke so gently to Luo Nianxi, which made the six concubines quite dissatisfied.

Seeing him walk away, the concubine who had just been beaten snorted in dissatisfaction.

"She is just a second-married woman, leaving her husband behind to marry someone else. What is there to be proud of?"

The Third Lady, who had just been scolded, was also grumbling,

"That's right, Your Highness has really been bewitched by a ghost..."

Seeing this, Bai Lan, who was standing next to Luo Nianxi, took two steps forward and slapped the first and third concubines on the face...

The eldest concubine immediately covered her face that had been hit by her, pointed at her and asked angrily,

"You damned girl, you dare to hit me?"

Bai Lan glared back at her without any hesitation.

"Didn't you hear what His Highness just said? You dare to talk about Princess Xi behind her back. A slap in the face is the least you can do."

The eldest concubine bit her lips tightly, her face flushed with anger.

The third concubine wanted to argue a few more words, but she was in the wrong and dared not speak.

Bai Lan commanded them impatiently:

"Everyone, move to the back and line up. Princess Xi is now a doctor and will diagnose your pulse."

The second concubine frowned in dissatisfaction.

"We are not sick, Princess Xi, please don't do this. If you like to play, find some girls to accompany you."

Bai Lan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her collar tightly.

"Do you want me to tell His Highness this?"

The second concubine gasped and glared at Bai Lan unhappily.

"Okay, Princess Xi likes to play, I'll accompany you to the end, is this all right?"

Bai Lan then let go of her hand, and the second concubine staggered. The fourth lady hurriedly stepped forward to support her, so she did not fall.

Bai Lan once again shouted:

"Line up according to your names. If anyone disobeys, I will slap them without mercy."

Although the six concubines were angry that they were bullied by a maid, they dared not say anything.

Their status in the mansion was not high to begin with, and the words His Highness had just said were still lingering in their ears. If they said anything more, and this girl Bai Lan really went to complain to the prince, they would be in trouble.

So, these six people lined up in order according to the time they entered the palace, waiting to be entertained by Princess Xi.

Luo Nianxi examined the pulse of the six women one by one with a solemn expression. The final result showed that except for a few who were a little weak, the pulses of the six women were relatively normal. This was strange. There was no problem with the men, and there was no problem with the women, so why couldn't they have children?

Looking at the six women standing in front of her, she waved her hand.

"Let's go back. I'm tired."

Hearing this, the six concubines felt as if they had been pardoned. They secretly rolled their eyes at her, turned around and quickly left.

Watching them fleeing with their big breasts and hips twisted, Bai Lan stepped forward and asked quietly,

"Miss, what exactly are you going to do?"

Luo Nianxi frowned slightly.

"I want to see why they are infertile."

"So... did you find out?"

"No, there is nothing obviously wrong with their pulses."

Bai Lan glanced at the door again and asked curiously:

“Why would you do that?”

"In order to protect myself, if Chu Hanxiang has a child, he will naturally divert his attention, and then I can stay here safely for a year."

"But you only gave him one year. What will happen after one year?"

"One year... is enough."

There was a flash of anticipation in her eyes. A year was too long and no one knew how many things would happen. If she could make his woman give birth to a child for him within this year, even if Leng Yiyan came to look for her one day, Chu Hanxiang would not be able to embarrass her again!

When she was thinking about this, she suddenly thought of Leng Yiyan. She suddenly wanted to see him standing up and walking, or standing up and brandishing a sword.

……

Prince Yan's Mansion

It's already the end of October and the weather is getting colder.

Leng Yiyan stood under the window, still looking at the sycamore tree, feeling a little confused.

Ling Xiao came hurriedly to report,

"Your Majesty..."

"Have you found it?"

His face turned gloomy, with hatred between his brows.

"Well, I have investigated the martial arts skills of the person who hurt you and the result is the same as you expected. The person who hurt you should be the dreaded killer in the martial arts world - Ghost Shadow. He appears and disappears mysteriously and few people have seen his true face. It is also impossible to find out who is the mastermind behind the scenes..."

"Since he is a killer, he should be able to be found. What are his requirements for coming out of hiding?"

"It is said that he used to sell 10,000 taels of silver each time, but now he doesn't take jobs anymore. No one knows where he is or how to contact him."

Leng Yiyan's brows tightened in an instant. He wanted to find the mastermind behind hurting him, and this ghost was the only clue.

"Ling Xiao, should I regroup and come out of seclusion?"

Ling Xiao raised his head and looked at him in astonishment.

"Your Majesty, aren't you planning to investigate this matter secretly?"

He shook his head sadly.

"I have thought about this before, but if I want to go find Luo Nianxi..."

When he mentioned this name, his heart was gripped tightly.

Ling Xiao understood his thoughts.

"That requires finding a suitable opportunity..."

"I understand. Go find Butler Lu."

Since he is looking for a suitable opportunity, he must give others the chance.

Ling Xiao nodded, then turned around and walked out quickly.

He sat in a wheelchair and came to the door. Although the sun was shining brightly today, it still gave people a cool and refreshing feeling.

Steward Lu followed behind Ling Xiao and came quickly.

"My lord, did you call me?"

"Ah."

He frowned slightly,

"Butler Lu, since the princess left, all matters in this mansion have been handed over to you again. Thank you for your hard work."

Butler Lu rolled his eyes guiltily. The prince had repeatedly asked him to observe whether Leng Yiyan's fingers would move, but he had never found an opportunity, and had no reason to come to Yan Jing Palace.

Isn't this a good opportunity to test him?

Thinking of this, he bent down and replied,

"Your Majesty, this is what I should do. I feel ashamed when you say this..."

"Butler Lu has worked in Prince Yan's mansion for many years. Before leaving, the princess specifically asked me to take good care of Butler Lu. I will give you a 10% salary increase. How about that?"
