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

"Yan'er?"

He asked tentatively, and Leng Yiyan nodded in response.

"My nephew is here."

After receiving his response, Leng Jin was suddenly at a loss.

"Are you really Yan'er?"

"It's me, Leng Yiyan."

"Yan'er?"

Leng Jin took two steps forward, patted him on the shoulder, looked him up and down, then nodded with a sob, too excited to speak for a moment.

The seventh uncle Leng Chen who came after him also had shock and anger in his eyes.

He had told Leng Yicheng long ago that he should get rid of Leng Yiyan as soon as possible. Now that he has stood up again, his position as the crown prince might be in jeopardy again.

When all the ministers present saw Leng Yiyan, they not only looked at him in surprise, but also began to ask about his well-being.

Leng Yiyan did not respond to this. During the past six months lying in bed, he saw through the fickleness of human nature and figured out many things.

Right now, there are only two things he has to do: avenge the injury he suffered in the past and rescue Luo Nianxi.

He ignored the rest of the pleasantries.

In the main hall

The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at Leng Yiyan with great joy when he saw him, then reached out his hand with tears in his eyes.

"Yan'er? Are you Yan'er?"

Leng Yiyan took two steps forward, expressionless, and saluted.

"Father, I am Yan'er."

The emperor's eyes suddenly began to turn red.

He stood up from the dragon throne tremblingly and walked down the hall step by step.

When he came in front of Leng Yiyan, he stretched out his hand and wanted to touch his face to confirm whether what he saw was true.

Leng Yiyan stood there without moving, just quietly waiting for him to verify.

When the emperor's hand touched his warm face, he was so excited that he was speechless.

He opened his mouth, then closed it again, and when he opened it again, he suddenly opened his arms and hugged him.

"Yan'er, my Yan'er, you stood up? Is this true? I'm afraid I'm not dreaming."

Leng Yiyan was neither surprised nor happy about his father's hug, he just responded calmly.

"Father, it is your son..."

The emperor lay on his shoulder for a while, then pushed him away, and then came to the main seat, waving his arms and shouting to everyone:

"Did you see that? Heaven will not destroy Pingyang. My Yan'er, the God of War General of Pingyang, is back. Hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Leng Yicheng's face turned even more grim, and the other princes' faces also looked unhappy.

When the emperor praised Leng Yiyan in front of all the ministers, it was obvious that he was saying that the brothers were incompetent.

But at the moment, the emperor was very excited, and even if they were dissatisfied, no one dared to say anything.

Leng Yiyan had a serious expression and bowed to the emperor with a stern face.

"Father, now that I am back to normal, I request to go to war with Northern Chu to rescue Princess Luo Nianxi and restore Pingyang's lost reputation."

As soon as he said this, the emperor's face suddenly turned cold.

"Yan'er, there is no rush. I am worried about your sudden recovery. You should rest for a while. When everything is safe, we can make plans later."

"Father, I am where I am today because of my princess, Luo Nianxi. She is proficient in medicine and cured me. So, I must save her."

As soon as he said this, everyone present was in an uproar. No one believed that this was true. How could a woman save a person with crippled legs and feet? This was simply a fantasy.

The emperor also thought that this was an excuse Leng Yiyan made up to save Luo Nianxi, so he immediately shook his head with a cold expression.

"Yan'er, I know you have a grudge against the Princess of the Protectorate remarrying the Northern Chu Kingdom, but this has become an irreversible fact, so please don't mention it again."

"Father, the conflict between the two countries should not be borne by a woman like her. This is my greatest wish after I recover from my injury. Please grant my permission."

The emperor's brows tightened, and the seventh uncle Leng Chen stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. If we rashly lead our troops to attack Northern Chu, not only will we have no chance of winning, but it will also put Princess Huguo and Princess Rujing in danger. Please think twice."

Leng Yicheng also stepped forward to reply,

"Father, what the Seventh Uncle said is right. This is not appropriate. Moreover, how can a woman who has remarried return to Pingyang and become the princess of my fourth brother? According to my suggestion, my fourth brother has recovered as usual. Father should grant him marriage as soon as possible to prevent him from being obsessed with the Princess Protector of the Nation."

"Humph!"

Leng Yiyan looked at Leng Yicheng with displeasure.

"Don't worry about my business, big brother."

Eighth uncle Leng Jin came to the front of the hall, clasped his fists and replied:

"Your Majesty, I think that the matter of the Protector of the Nation Princess should be discussed in the long run. She was forced to marry to the Northern Chu Kingdom to protect the safety of the people in Chang'an City. No one asked her if she was doing well there, and no one cared whether she was willing. Now Yan'er is back to normal. No matter whose credit it is, Yan'er wants to save her. This also shows that Yan'er is a person of affection and righteousness. Please grant your permission, Your Majesty."

When the Eighth Prince spoke, most of the ministers bowed and saluted.

"Your Majesty, please allow Prince Yan to rescue the Princess Protector of the Country."

Seeing this, Leng Chen immediately threw his hands away.

"You are really confused. Even if the Protector of the Nation Princess is rescued, she can no longer be included in the royal family tree."

Leng Jin responded without hesitation.

"What does Seventh Brother mean by this? Her marriage to Northern Chu is equivalent to sacrificing her life for the country. Even if she comes back, she will be a great contributor to Pingyang State. Why can't she be included in the royal family tree? Could it be that Seventh Brother wants the emperor to be an unkind and unjust person and be laughed at by the people of the whole city?"

This……

Leng Jin's questioning left Leng Chen speechless, and those who were neutral were also unwilling to say more at this time.

All the ministers understood that no one knew what the emperor was thinking at the moment, so it was safer to say less than to say more.

The emperor pondered for a while with a melancholy look on his face, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What the Eighth Prince said makes sense. Let me think about this matter again!"

Leng Yiyan took two steps forward unwillingly.

"Father, if you do not agree, I will go to Northern Chu alone to snatch the person."

His words seemed threatening, but his attitude was firm.

After finally seeing his favorite son recover, the emperor definitely didn't want to let him take risks again.

"Don't worry, Yan'er. Pingyang will have to return the insults from Northern Chu sooner or later, but now is not the right time. First, the war in the southern part of Pingyang is still going on, and there are not many troops available in the capital. Second, you are in good health. Even if you want to go to war, you have to regroup and wait for the troops that went to the southern part to return."

The war in the south has been going on for half a year, and no one knows when it will stop.

If he had to wait, he couldn't wait, and he didn't want to wait. Since he didn't have enough troops, he would form his own.

Thinking of this, he asked solemnly:

"Father, if I gather some men in a short time, train them day and night, and send troops to Northern Chu in three months, do you agree?"
