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

Chapter 273 His Horrible Memories

"Don't talk nonsense. By the way, sit down and tell me what happened during this period of time. How did you come to Shucheng? And how did you become like this?"

When she asked this, Leng Yiyan's face suddenly darkened.

"I'm sorry, this is all my fault. If I wasn't so petty, you wouldn't have left. If you hadn't left, so many things wouldn't have happened..."

She rushed to him and threw herself into his arms.

"It's not your fault. I was not thoughtful enough. I wanted to give each of us some time to calm down, but I didn't expect so many things to happen. Now Jinyan and Jinyu haven't been found, and Jinjie is suffering every day. You..."

At this point, her eyes began to well up. He tentatively raised his hand to hug her, but then timidly put it down.

"Jinjie, you must have suffered a lot!"

Speaking of Jinjie, she looked up at him and asked impatiently,

"Tell me, what is going on? Who is the person pretending to be you in the palace?"

When she asked, a hint of despair flashed in his cloudy eyes, and then he began to tell her what had happened before.

It turned out that after she left, he was depressed for a while and then fell ill. The young eunuch Xiaowu who was by his side took good care of him and advised him every day, and only then did he become more open-minded.

Xiaowu was sensible and obedient. He would tell him stories and make him happy. He made an exception and appointed Xiaowu as the chief eunuch.

Later, when he recovered, he wanted to go to Gratitude Temple to find her, but he suddenly fell ill again. Xiaowu suggested that he write a letter to Luo Nianxi.

In the letter, he told her that he missed her, that he was wrong and that he shouldn't have ignored her. He also told her that he was sick and hoped she would come back.

Half a month after the letter was sent, she wrote back to him, directly rejecting his request. His health was not good to begin with, and he became so angry after seeing her reply that he fell ill.

During this period, Xiaowu found him a quack doctor who was said to have superb medical skills and could cure any disease.

However, after he took the medicine prescribed by the doctor, not only did his condition not improve, but it became even worse. He wanted to avenge the doctor, but he couldn't even get up.

A few more days passed like this...

One night, he was knocked unconscious, dragged from his bed, and put into a sack...

When he woke up again, he didn't know where he was. He called Xiaowu and Xiaowu appeared.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

"I...cough cough cough...where am I? Why is it so dark here? Am I dreaming?"

What he didn't expect was that Xiao Wu didn't say a word of comfort this time, but laughed arrogantly with his head raised.

"Hahaha! Your Majesty, you are dreaming, but it is a bad dream..."

After saying that, he waved his hand, and several men in black clothes and veils appeared. They held swords in their hands and looked ferocious.

He was terrified and tried to prop himself up to fight them, but he felt so weak that he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Xiao Wu looked at him arrogantly again.

"Leng Yiyan, your dream of becoming emperor ends today..."

"Xiaowu, do you want to rebel?"

"Rebellion? Who said I want to rebel? I am just helping you. You are not feeling well, so you should take a rest..."

At this time, Xiaowu changed his previous humble face and turned into a terrifying one.

Leng Yiyan immediately questioned with a sullen face,

"You...cough cough cough..."

Xiao Wu waved his hands impatiently.

"Someone, peel off his face..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the men came forward and cruelly peeled off his face. When he struggled to break free, they cruelly broke his legs...

In this completely unfamiliar environment, waves of heart-wrenching and exhausting screams continued to be heard...

At this point, Leng Yiyan seemed to think of that scene. His whole body curled up and began to tremble constantly.

"Don't be afraid, my husband. It's okay. It's okay..."

His words made her tremble with fear.

Only then did she discover the real reason why his face was disfigured and his legs were disabled.

She really couldn't imagine that cruel scene, nor could she imagine how he managed to survive!

He seemed to have exhausted all his strength to slowly calm the fear in his heart and continued to tell the story.

Later, they announced to the public that the unrecognizable him was just a young eunuch who was punished by the Fifth Eunuch for stealing things from the palace. The eunuchs were also ordered to kill the dying him and throw him into the mass grave in the east of the city.

The two young eunuchs probably felt sorry for him or were too timid to kill him. They just left him there and ran away.

He didn't wake up until noon the next day. At that time, he looked like a bloody man like a ghost. He endured the tremendous pain, crawled out of the graveyard, found a dilapidated temple, and barely survived.

Originally, he thought that he was harmed by a villain, and the entire palace and even the entire court would be in chaos. He thought about recuperating for a few days, and when he could go to Beijing, he would go to find Leng Jin or Leng Yifei.

But what he didn't expect was that after living in the dilapidated temple for seven days, when he was about to enter the capital, he found that there was no change in the capital, as if he, the emperor, had not disappeared.

Just when he was confused about what was going on, rumors spread on the streets that the emperor had begun selecting concubines, and within just seven days, he appointed a man who had never held an official position as Grand Tutor.

This news was like a bolt from the blue to him. He was clearly not in the palace, so who was in charge in the palace?

Later, after inquiring, I learned that the emperor was still the previous emperor...

The country has not changed hands, and the Leng family still has the final say in the court. However, he, the real emperor, cannot go back.

He realized that he had been replaced, and he also realized the real reason why those people stripped him of his face: they were simply afraid that others would recognize him.

He was extremely angry when he heard the news. Just when he wanted to go directly to Leng Jin to explain the situation, shocking news came from the palace again.

Last night, Leng Yifei, Su Yi and others were sent to the border. Because Leng Jin said a few more words during the morning court session, the emperor directly put him under house arrest and forbade outsiders to see him.

Leng Yixing was directly imprisoned in the Sky Prison...

Overnight, all the people he could trust left Beijing. He wanted to find someone to explain the matter to, but he had no chance at all.

He wanted to catch up with Leng Yifei and the others, but they were riding horses while he was walking, and his calf was broken so he could only walk with dragging legs. How could he catch up with them?

But he also knew that if he wanted to prove his identity, he had to find the person he trusted the most. However, the place was far away from the border, and he had no money, so he could only beg along the way.

Yesterday was his second day in Shucheng. He was so hungry that he stole other people’s steamed buns. If Bai Lan hadn’t come to his aid, he would have been beaten again.

Every word he said was choked with sobs and resentment, but she was a little angry.

"So, you saw me yesterday? Why didn't you recognize me? Do you know how hard I tried to find you?"

Hearing her question, he lowered his head in shame.

"I didn't mean to refuse to recognize you. I just didn't have the face or the courage to recognize you. I have gone from being an emperor to a beggar despised by everyone. How can I dare to hope that you can still like me as always?"

"You are so stupid. The letter you wrote to me contained only a few words: If you don't come back now, don't ever come back! I was so angry that I didn't write you back. Now it seems that the letter I received was fake, and the one you received was also fake. We were separated and manipulated by others without knowing it."

He looked up, staring at her in astonishment.

"What did you say? You didn't reply to my letter? Are these really the only words in my letter to you?"

"right…"

He immediately gritted his teeth in anger.

"How despicable. It's also my fault for being too credulous. That Xiaowu suddenly appeared in my life, and I didn't even notice anything wrong..."

"My husband, there is no point in talking about this now. I want to help you restore your face to its original state and heal your leg injury on the way to the border, so that we can do our best to eliminate harm for the people."

He looked at her with disbelief.

"Are you serious? Can my face...return to its previous state?"

She nodded with a firm look in her eyes.

"Yes, but I need to remove intact skin tissue from your body and transplant it to your face..."

When he heard this, he shrank back in fear, and his hands unconsciously clenched together nervously.

He had experienced the experience of taking human skin before, and the pain that penetrated his heart made him dare not recall it.

"Don't be afraid, sir..."

She held his hand and comforted him carefully:

"That fake emperor thought he had done it perfectly, but in fact he had already aroused suspicion. We must take off his hypocritical mask as soon as possible, otherwise, I am really worried about Jin Jie and everyone we know..."

At this point, she thought again of Jin Jie who was covered in wounds, and lowered her head in dejection and resentment.

Leng Yiyan nodded without thinking.

"Everything is up to my wife..."

He still liked to say this, and she liked to hear it.

She smiled and nodded,

"Then I will take you to the other world in a while. You will stay there for a long time this time. After you are settled, we will continue on our journey!"

"Then what should I do? How can I get out? How can I find you?"

Seeing his worried look, she shook her head and smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry! As long as I leave, you will follow me. I will also visit you at any time. I will try to restore your previous appearance when we return to the capital, so that we can expose the fake emperor..."

Although he still couldn't believe that he could recover as before despite his disfigured face and disabled legs.

But Luo Nianxi could take him to another world, which was something that made people unbelievable. Now that she said she could cure him, he would believe it even though he didn't want to.

After obtaining his consent, she took him to Bao'an Hall.

This time he came with his memories, and he felt not only curious but also familiar with everything here.

This is the place that brought him back to life many times. It is also the place that he still remembers clearly and often appears in his dreams.

"My dear, is this really the place where you used to live? It's very big, the lights are very bright, and everything here is very strange..."

"Do you like it here, sir?"

He was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"I like wherever you are..."

"So... do you want to live here?"

He looked at everything here blankly, shook his head and then nodded.

"I don't want to..."

"Why is that?"

"If I have a wife to accompany me, I will be happy to go anywhere. Unfortunately, this is just a virtual world. It is impossible for us to live here..."

What he said was right. Although this was where she used to live, she couldn't leave Bao'an Hall. What would happen even if she came back?

"Dean..."

Xiao Ding's voice came, and they looked back together.

When Xiao Ding saw Leng Yiyan's disfigured face, he was so scared that he covered his mouth.

"what!"

Luo Nianxi frowned and explained:

"My cousin is injured. Take him for a checkup and arrange for him to be hospitalized. Notify the attending physicians of each department to hold a meeting in the conference room..."

"OK…"

Although Xiao Ding really wanted to ask the reason for his cousin's injury, he did not dare to ask further when he saw the dean's serious expression.

"Cousin, come with me! I'll take you for a check-up."

Leng Yiyan frowned and glanced at Luo Nianxi, "Madam, I..."

He wanted to say that in this strange world, he didn't want to leave her, he was afraid!

"Go ahead. You know Xiao Ding. Just do whatever she asks you to do. I'm going to a meeting and will come to see you soon..."

"Meeting?"

"Yes, a meeting, where a lot of people get together to discuss how to treat your illness."

Although he only had a vague understanding of what she said, he still followed her, looking back every few steps, at Xiao Ding's urging.

Luo Nianxi also quickly returned to the office, changed into a formal suit, put on some light makeup, took her laptop, and went straight to the meeting room.

She hasn't appeared in the conference room for several years, and the work of the entire Bao'an Hall has always been managed by Liu Qiang, assisted by Xiao Ding.

When she arrived at the conference room, attending physicians from various departments came in one after another.

They were all very surprised by her coming.

"Dean? I haven't seen you in a few years..."

The person who said this was head nurse Zhang Juan. She and Luo Nianxi were college classmates and they had always had a good relationship.

She smiled softly at him,

"Something happened at home in the past few years, so I had no time to take care of the affairs in the courtyard."

"I heard that you were taking care of your cousin and came to the hospital several times for treatment. I happened to be studying abroad and didn't see you..."

"Well, this time I brought my cousin here to treat his injuries..."

"He's injured again? I heard that he's been here to treat his injuries several times. What does he do? Is he a troublemaker?"

She shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"That's not the case. It's because of work..."

She could only explain it this way.

Zhang Juan looked at her seriously and gave her a tentative reminder.

"Nian Xi, we were college classmates and worked in the same place after graduation. Although you are my boss and I have always treated you as my best friend, I want to remind you that I hope you don't think I am meddling in your affairs."

She looked at her curiously. Could it be that she was trying to persuade her to manage Bao'an Hall well?

She nodded, "Zhang Juan, we don't have to be so cautious when talking, just say it if you have something to say!"

Zhang Juan pursed her lips and said:

"People in the hospital are saying that although that cousin is handsome, he doesn't look like a good man. Who would be hospitalized four times in three years, and each time he was seriously injured? It's obvious that he is a man who likes to fight and make trouble. You should stay away from such a man! He is not suitable for you..."
