Lin Yiwan interrupted without hesitation: "I only said I would plead for you, I didn't promise to rescue your son!"

As soon as the words fell, Queen Gao's face turned pale and blue.

How can someone in this world accept a gift and not do the job?

She couldn't help but say, "Since you didn't get the job done, return my gift!"

Lin Yiwan shook her head. "I can't back down. Even though I didn't succeed, I've already made an effort for you. Plus, my father promised me that he would have people take good care of your son and not let him suffer any injustice!"

Queen Gao's heart was heaving with anger. This was not the result she wanted at all.

But when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head!

She had no choice but to swallow her anger and plead with tears on her face: "Madam Hou, please have pity on my heart as a mother. My son has never been separated from me since he was a child. On top of that, he is injured. I am worried that he can't stand the life here!"

Lin Yiwan said, "Since my father has left your son in the capital, he can properly accommodate him. Besides, you won't be separated from him for long. As long as the Prince of Jiaodong can successfully take over Yintan, Gao Yuzhe will return to you as soon as possible!"

Queen Gao sobbed sadly, "Madam Hou, can't you really help me?"

Lin Yiwan sighed helplessly: "I have tried my best, please forgive me, Queen Gao!"

After saying that, she turned around and returned to the mansion.

Queen Gao stared at her back, her eyes full of ferocity and hatred.

At this time, she secretly made a decision that in order to protect her son, she had to stay in Shengjing City.

She hurried back to the inn and told King Gao her thoughts.

Gao Guojun slammed the table and stood up. "What are you doing messing around with? Your staying in the capital will only give them more leverage, and they will become even more unscrupulous!"

Queen Gao stared at him with a frown, "Your Majesty, tell me the truth, you have no intention of ceding Silver Beach to the Sheng Dynasty?"

Just one sentence made Gao Guojun calm down instantly.

He turned his face away guiltily and said unhappily, "Don't try to guess what my king is thinking. I have my own considerations!"

Queen Gao angrily smashed the teacup to the ground and said, "What considerations can you have? Do you think I can't see it? You plan to abandon our Zhe'er, you are so cruel!"

Gao Guojun was also enraged by her unreasonable nagging. He whispered, "Shut up! Yintan is the money bag of our Gaoyou Kingdom. It is extremely rich in marine resources. If I hand it over to the Sheng Dynasty, won't they strengthen Jiaodong Island? Then, our Gaoyou Kingdom will be in danger of being destroyed!"

Queen Gao looked at him in disbelief, tears streaming down her face without hesitation.

She said in a trembling voice, "My Lord, that's your son. I raised him with my own hands. How can you just abandon him like that?"

Gao Guojun comforted her, "Queen, you must put the overall situation first. Besides, I have no intention of abandoning Zhe'er. As long as the King of Jiaodong takes him to Yintan, I will order someone to take him back. Believe me!"

Queen Gao shook her head vigorously. She would never trust King Gao again.

She said stubbornly, "I must stay in Shengchao Capital. If you don't agree, I will tell Lin Yiwan about your conspiracy!"

"You!" Gao Guojun was so angry at her willfulness that his vision went dark.

He was silent for a moment before he said, "Okay, then you stay in the capital and take good care of Zhe'er. Without further ado, I'll take my men on the road!"

He stood up and left quickly, without any lingering feelings towards Queen Gao.

Only after watching his back disappear did Queen Gao fall on the table and burst into tears.

The personal nanny came to persuade her: "Queen, calm down. If you want to blame someone, blame Prince Sheng Chaoli for arresting His Highness. Otherwise, you could have gone with the king!"

Queen Gao gnashed her teeth and said, "The culprits are Lin Yiwan and her daughter. I will never let this go!"

She cheered herself up, quickly stood up and went to leave the palace.

When Prince Li heard that Queen Gao stayed behind to take care of Gao Yuzhe, he did not deliberately make things difficult for him.

He ordered people to prepare a quiet yard for the mother and son, and tried his best to meet their needs except that they were not allowed to go out at will.

How could Gao Yuzhe bear such grievances? He made a fuss almost every day.

The wounds on his body had already scarred, and the cuts that exposed fresh flesh looked particularly hideous.

He looked at Queen Gao with anger in his eyes: "Mother, why should I, the prince of Gaoyou Kingdom, stay in Sheng Dynasty as a hostage?"

Queen Gao said distressedly, "Your father did something wrong, so the son must pay for his father's debt!"

Gao Yuzhe raised his fist and slammed it on the table: "Why? I want to kill them. Whoever dares to stop me will be killed!"

After saying that, he rushed out quickly.

Queen Gao immediately stopped him and said, "Zhe'er, you are no match for them. We can't stay here for a few days. When the court sends people to Jiaodong Island, we can go with them!"

Gao Yuzhe also knew that there were many masters guarding outside. In the first few days, he wanted to go out, but was blocked by sharp feather arrows.

He stamped his feet in anger, and was then pulled back into the house by Queen Gao.

He frowned and said, "Mother? Are you willing to accept this? They have made us mother and son suffer so much, especially that Marquis' wife, who stole so many of your top-quality white pearls for nothing!"

When Queen Gao mentioned this incident, she became so angry that she vomited blood.

She gritted her teeth and murmured, "How can I be willing? But what can I do? Now this house is like a cage. There is no way for us mother and son to get out!"

Gao Yuzhe's eyes rolled around, and he whispered a reminder: "Mother, have you forgotten the mother of the King of Jiaodong, the old princess? Isn't she also in the capital? Since we can't leave, let her and her grandson be our dogs!"

Queen Gao immediately realized what was happening. She narrowed her eyes and praised him, "My good son, you are getting smarter and smarter!"

Gao Yuzhe raised the corner of his lips proudly, and he secretly vowed that he must use someone else's hands to destroy Princess Youyi.

She must become his princess!

Only in this way can his father look at him with admiration.

After the mother and son had discussed it, they sent someone to deliver the message to the Jiaodong Palace.

At this time, Lin Yiwan didn't know that Queen Gao and her son had already set their sights on the Jiaodong Palace. She was taking the pulse of her sister Xiao Shuyi.

Xiao Shuyi has been married to Luo Feng for almost a year, but there is still no good news, which makes her a little anxious.

Even though Luo Feng never said anything, she was still worried.

Before asking Lin Yiwan to diagnose her pulse, she had secretly consulted many doctors, but they all gave different opinions, which made her afraid to use medicine indiscriminately.

After weighing the pros and cons, she finally mustered up the courage to ask Lin Yiwan for help.

She asked anxiously, "Wanwan, we've been seeing patients for so long, and there's still no result?"

Lin Yiwan released her wrist and said, "You are in good health, there is nothing wrong with you!"
