No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

When the wooden box was opened, countless gold and silver ingots shone with charming light.

Lin Mingyan took it with surprise, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing.

How come my luck has suddenly improved so much?

It was not in vain that all the trouble she had gone through. Not only did she get pregnant, but the Fourth Master also treated her better.

Emmm, although this kind of thing is comfortable and uncomfortable, if it can have this effect every time, then it’s not a problem to do it a few more times.

Thinking of this, Lin Mingyan asked curiously, "Master, who is that in the garden?"

She looks like a master, probably one of the two new princesses.

But she had never seen the two newcomers, so she didn't know which one it was.

The Fourth Master said, "It's Yi, you don't have to pay attention to it."

"Then what's wrong with you? Did the imperial physician tell me what the disease is?" If he didn't tell me, I would be even more curious.

Seeing the Fourth Master's appearance at that time, she thought he was possessed by an evil spirit.

But she was still able to remain calm because she knew the general direction of history.

She knew that even if it was a parallel universe and there were certain differences from official history, it was impossible for the True Dragon Emperor to just kill him, right?

"There's no symptoms. It could be that Yi's horoscope is incompatible with mine," the Fourth Master said casually. He then instructed, "I've already confined her to her house. Don't have any contact with her in the future."

Don't contact too much?

This was the first time that the Fourth Master explicitly told her not to get close to someone.

Even if it was Zhang, he just told her not to come.

There must be something strange about this Yi family.

Lin Mingyan rolled her eyes and stopped talking about it, agreeing very readily.

It's not like she's desperate. Is she still looking for friends in the workplace?

Just don’t see each other.

The Fourth Master felt relieved when he saw that she agreed so readily, and he stroked her head from time to time.

After resting for a few more days, Su Peisheng finally inquired about Lai Yi's life.

The Fourth Master took a stack of papers and examined them carefully, and found that Yi's background was very ordinary.

My father is a minor official, and I have a mother and an older brother at home.

She grew up like countless other bannermen, and was selected to enter the palace when she was young. Concubine De took a fancy to her and thought she was a good childbearer, so she kept her for him.

"Her behavior after entering the palace is completely different from before. Is there any reason?" The Fourth Master pointed at two documents.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that before entering the palace, Yi was dull and timid, and didn't even dare to speak loudly.

However, Yi in the palace had a very good relationship with all the palace maids, and she had a cheerful personality and knew how to get along with others.

When he arrived at the mansion, he was even more daring and dared to break into the sealed garden.

"I heard that on the day she entered the palace, she encountered the Imperial Household Department punishing the palace maids. They beat two of them to death and ordered all the palace maids and eunuchs to watch the execution."

"Yi was so frightened that he fainted and had a high fever that wouldn't go away. He woke up three days later looking completely different."

Su Peisheng thought that this change was not surprising at all. Anyone who knew that it was so difficult to survive in the palace would not be as happy as before.

But the Fourth Master keenly sensed that something was wrong. This person was still the same skin on the outside, but it was hard to say whether he was still the same Yi on the inside.

He then asked, "How have the trials been these past few days? Has anyone been affected?"

Su Peisheng said, "Yi has been wearing a gag every day these days, and only lets the maids serve her during meals."

"During this time, we used eunuchs and guards to test her three times, but none of them were affected by her voice."

He also tried it himself and didn't think there was anything special about Yi's voice.

Even a little disgusted.

The Fourth Master frowned, his eyes darkening, "So you're targeting me alone?"

"Let's go, I'll go meet her."

Su Peisheng quickly advised: "Master, you can't take risks!"

"If there's something strange about Yi, then just let her die of illness. Don't let anything happen to you!"

Oh my god, he even wanted to strangle Yi to death, at least to nip the danger in the bud.

The Fourth Master shook his head, his aura of dominance evident: "I'd like to see for myself what kind of demonic creature this is."

"It's easy to get rid of one Yi, but you never know there will be a second or a third. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

If Cha Cha hadn't been there last time and the subordinates hadn't accidentally blocked Yi's mouth, he would probably have been confused for a while.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Su Peisheng suddenly had an idea and said, "Master, why don't we take Linggege with us?"

Although he didn't know the reason, since the last time, Su Peisheng regarded Lin Mingyan as his life-saving talisman.

The Fourth Master thought about it and felt that this was safer, so he went to Linfengju to bring Lin Mingyan with him.

Lin Mingyan is taking care of the fetus. Although the embryo is in the culture chamber, she still needs to provide nutrition.

In order to make her child healthier, she deliberately ate more nutritious food and exercised more to promote nutrient absorption.

Looking at the sesame-sized embryos in the culture chamber, I still feel the joy of the arrival of new life.

I followed the Fourth Master out, thinking we were going to visit a garden, and I didn't object. Seeing the scenery always puts you in a good mood.

Unexpectedly, we arrived at a courtyard with the words "Libaiyuan" written on it.

Ok?

Why is this name so familiar?

Oh, by the way, Dujuan found out that the two new princesses live here.

No way, no way, Fourth Master, you come to sleep with a princess, and you bring another princess with you?!

Maybe it was because Lin Mingyan's expression was too obvious that made the Fourth Master feel embarrassed.

He explained, "Shi Yi is a little strange. I'll come and meet her for a while."

I'm not here to sleep, don't get me wrong.

"Then why did you bring me along?" Lin Mingyan pointed at herself, looking a little funny.

The Fourth Master said, "If I feel sick again, I'll need Cha Cha to sing for me."

The word "singing" was deliberately emphasized, reminding her of that day when the Fourth Master asked her to sing while doing it.

This... isn't what you mean?!

However, if the master is really in pain, she will do it even if it means sacrificing her life.

Fortunately, she had the pregnancy pill, so the child was not in her belly. Otherwise, it would have been too intense and she would have had a miscarriage!

Seeing that she understood, the Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and smiled, scratching his face with his fingers to embarrass her.

Lin Mingyan pretended not to know. After all, it was not shameful if others didn’t know that singing had other meanings.

The Fourth Master then put away his smile and pulled Lin Mingyan inside. "Just wait at the door. If I feel uncomfortable, come out immediately."

It’s not that I’m worried that Lin Mingyan will be affected, but there are some private matters that I don’t want her to know.

Lin Mingyan has no excessive curiosity at all. Some things are better left unknown.

She waited at the door while the Fourth Master brought Su Peisheng and others in.

I don’t know if this door is specially made, but once it is closed, no sound can come out from inside.

She listened for a while and found no sound at all, so she didn't bother and sat down to rest.

Inside the room, Yi was held down by two young eunuchs, kneeling on the ground with a wooden ball in her mouth, and could only make a humming sound.

When she saw the Fourth Master coming, she excitedly wanted to stand up, but was pushed to the ground by the people around her.

"Woo woo woo woo~" Master, you are finally here.

Yi has been living in hell these days. His mouth is sealed and he cannot speak, and there are a lot of people watching and testing him.

Even when eating, she could only temporarily hold her breath and pour cold porridge into her mouth.

During this time, whenever she couldn't help but speak, her gag would be stuffed back in her mouth and she wouldn't even be able to drink the porridge.

Now, the Fourth Master is finally here!
