At this moment, Ling'er's voice came from outside: "Madam, the King of Jiaodong is here with the old princess to say goodbye!"
Lin Yiwan quickly asked Zhan Miao and Zhan Qingning to carry the small cage into the inner room, and then slowly said, "Please ask them to come in!"
The Prince of Jiaodong was the first to speak: "Thank you, Madam Hou, for your help. Now that my mother is fine, I want to take her back to the Prince of Jiaodong's Palace to raise her!"
The old princess also spoke up: "It's not good to disturb the Marquis too much and cause you trouble all the time!"
Lin Yiwan frowned, "What's the problem? Don't underestimate this coma. Although it looks fine now, it's still not fully healed. It will take another two days of acupuncture!"
"This?" The old princess looked embarrassed.
The King of Jiaodong couldn't help but frown. He could tell that Lin Yiwan didn't want them to leave. What should he do?
Just as he was struggling with his thoughts, a small cry suddenly came from the inner room.
He was startled and asked quickly: "What's the noise?"
Lin Yiwan quickly explained, "My two daughters are playing in the inner room. Please wait a moment, I'll bring them out!"
She got up and walked into the inner room, and saw that all the mice were dead.
Zhan Miao said dejectedly, "Mother, in just the blink of an eye, they all stopped moving!"
A cold look flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes. Fortunately, she didn't drink it.
Otherwise, she would be the one dead now!
No wonder the two people outside were in a hurry to leave. It turned out they wanted to get rid of suspicion as soon as possible.
Want to leave? There are no doors!
When she saw the remaining half bowl of bird's nest soup, she immediately had an idea.
She reached out, picked it up, and walked out slowly.
When the King of Jiaodong saw the white porcelain bowl, he was shocked all over.
But after a moment he calmed down again, but the smile on his face seemed a little stiff.
He quickly bowed again and said, "Madam Hou, I've thought about it. I still want to take my mother back first. We'll leave now. I'll have someone send you a generous thank-you gift later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the old princess and tried to leave quickly.
But Lin Yiwan intervened, "Wait, Prince Jiaodong, don't be so anxious. The way you dragged her away, it was as if she was faking her coma!"
The old princess argued guiltily: "I didn't. How could I pretend to be sick?"
Lin Yiwan stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "I know you won't pretend to be sick, so I'd like to invite you to have a bowl of bird's nest soup before you leave. It's a very good tonic, harvested from my herb garden, and it has extremely high nutritional value!"
The old princess was so frightened that cold sweat dripped down her forehead. Bird's nest soup? Wasn't that the bowl that poisoned her?
She quickly refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam Hou, but I never like drinking bird's nest soup, please forgive me!"
Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows: "Don't you like it, or don't you dare?"
The old princess shuddered all over and subconsciously asked, "What does the Marquis' wife mean?"
Lin Yiwan said slowly, "I just heard from the maid that this bowl of bird's nest soup was touched by the King of Jiaodong in the garden!"
The King of Jiaodong suddenly looked gloomy, and he decided to strike first.
He frowned and scolded, "What does Madam Hou mean by this? Is it possible that I am wrong for helping you save this bowl of bird's nest soup?"
Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, "The Prince of Jiaodong is certainly right, that's why I gave this bowl of bird's nest soup to the old princess!"
The Prince of Jiaodong immediately refused: "Madam Hou, please don't force me. My mother will vomit uncontrollably after drinking bird's nest, so she must not drink it!"
Lin Yiwan said slowly, "Then please ask the Prince of Jiaodong to drink it for your mother. If you refuse to drink it, then I will suspect that you have done something to this bowl of bird's nest soup, so you are making an excuse to leave in a hurry!"
The King of Jiaodong was so angry that his heart was beating wildly. He didn't expect Lin Yiwan to be so difficult to deal with.
He said in a deep voice: "Madam Hou, please don't go too far!"
Lin Yiwan looked completely innocent. "How could I have gone too far? You were the ones who begged me to treat your mother's illness. Now that I've cured your mother's illness, you're going to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the old princess hurriedly acted as peacemaker.
She hurriedly explained, "Madam Hou, please don't be angry. My son is not good at speaking. If he has angered you, I will apologize for him!"
Lin Yiwan waved her hand and said, "Old Princess, starting with Nangong Yuan, your Jiaodong Palace has come to my Zhan Yihou Mansion several times. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. This bowl of bird's nest soup can be considered a severance meal. From now on, we will not care about our grudges!"
As soon as the words fell, the old princess's face turned pale and blue.
She knew better than anyone that this bowl of soup must be drunk!
Whether it's her or her son drinking it!
Otherwise, Lin Yiwan would definitely not let them leave Hou Fu easily.
Just as the old princess was struggling fiercely, Lin Yiwan spoke again: "It seems that you insist on me inviting the imperial physician from the palace to prove whether this bowl of bird's nest soup is poisonous!"
She turned around and ordered Ling'er, "Hurry up and go to the palace. First, ask for an imperial physician. Then, call back Prince Li and the Marquis. Ask them to support this lady!"
Ling'er subconsciously responded and left, but was stopped by the old princess.
She smiled and said, "Miss Ling'er, is it necessary to alarm the palace for such a small matter? It's just a bowl of bird's nest soup. I, an old woman, will just drink it!"
The Jiaodong King's expression suddenly changed: "Mother!"
The old princess glared at him and said, "Madam Hou is right. Yuan'er and I both owe her a life-saving favor. We can't be ungrateful. I must drink this bird's nest soup!"
She reached out and picked up the bird's nest soup, a hint of bitterness flashed across her face.
The King of Jiaodong clenched his fists tightly, and after a moment of silence, he subconsciously reached out to grab it.
Zi'er was faster than him, and the scabbard hit his wrist suddenly, causing him to let out a quick scream in pain.
"What are you doing?" King Jiaodong asked viciously.
Lin Yiwan said coldly: "If you want to drink, this lady can let the old princess hand it to you, and you are not allowed to snatch it!"
The old princess said anxiously: "Son, don't grab it, let me drink it!"
Without any hesitation, she immediately poured the bird's nest soup into her throat.
The Prince of Jiaodong's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He rushed to the old princess and said, "Mother, I will take you home right now!"
The old princess narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Madam, I have already drunk the bird's nest soup you gave me. Now can we go, mother and son?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "My words are my duty, old princess, rest in peace!"
The old princess staggered and was almost half-carried by the Prince of Jiaodong into the carriage.
Almost as soon as she sat down, her expression suddenly changed.
She coughed violently, and then black blood spurted out of her mouth.
"Mother, how are you?" Prince Jiaodong asked with anxious concern.
The old princess urged in a trembling voice: "Go find Queen Gao and ask her if she has the antidote. Quick, quick!"
The King of Jiaodong did not dare to delay and immediately ordered the carriage to rush to the post station.
