The three of them walked outside, followed by a little wolf cub wagging its tail. It was so heartwarming.

After dinner, King Li sent someone to call Zhan Yan away, saying that he had something important to tell him.

At this moment, a maidservant came to the Jiaodong Palace. She said anxiously, "Take me to see the Marquis' wife quickly. Our old princess has suddenly fallen ill and is in critical condition!"

Ling'er did not dare to neglect her and immediately invited her into the inner courtyard.

Lin Yiwan is teaching little Miaomiao how to write. After the little girl got an excellent grade, she became more enthusiastic about writing.

Suddenly she heard footsteps outside, and she asked curiously, "Ling'er, is the Marquis back?"

Ling'er came in through the curtain and said, "No, it's the maid from the Jiaodong Palace. She said the old princess suddenly fell into a coma and asked you to go see her!"

Lin Yiwan did not like the Jiaodong King's family. After all, after Gao Yuzhe was bitten, he went to ask the emperor to send the little cat to the post station to settle the dispute.

In addition, Nangong Yuan nicknamed Ye Earthworm for Ye Li, which made her even less willing to pay attention to him.

She flatly refused: "Go tell that old woman that there is an imperial physician in the palace. Ask the Prince of Jiaodong to invite him. I am not feeling well and have gone to bed. Please do not disturb me again!"

Ling'er went to reply, but the old woman knelt down and refused to leave.

She cried and said, "Madam Hou, you can't just stand by and watch someone die. Our Jiaodong King is stationed on Jiaodong Island with the old princess, which is a great service to the court!"

Ling'er's face suddenly darkened. "Look at what you're saying. You, the Jiaodong Palace, still want to blackmail our wife? Are those imperial doctors in the palace just for show?"

The old woman argued, "After all, the imperial physician's medical skills are not as good as the Marquis's. Besides, our old princess said before she fell into a coma that she must go and ask Miss Ling'er to inform her again, right?"

Ling'er frowned and said, "I can't report anything. Our wife is not feeling well, and even I can't disturb her at will!"

The old woman kowtowed to her quickly, her face filled with anxiety as she continued, "When I came to ask for Madam Hou's help, our prince was well aware that if he knew Madam Hou had left her in danger without rescuing her, he would probably harbor resentment towards the Zhan Yi Marquisate if anything happened to the old princess. Please consider this carefully, Miss Ling'er!"

Ling'er slammed the table in anger: "How dare you threaten me?"

The old woman shook her head in fear: "I dare not, but if the Marquis's wife doesn't go, I'm afraid the old princess will never wake up again!"

Ling'er subconsciously frowned, as it was indeed difficult to explain to the King of Jiaodong.

Without further hesitation, she immediately returned to the inner courtyard to report to Lin Yiwan.

Lin Yiwan said in surprise, "The old princess is determined to invite me over. What exactly does she want to do?"

Ling'er shook her head: "I don't know, Madam, would you like to discuss this with the Marquis?"

Lin Yiwan waved her hand. "What the old woman said is correct. If I insist on ignoring it, the Prince of Jiaodong will probably feel resentful. So, go and tell the old woman to carry the old princess to the Marquis Zhan Yi's residence!"

No matter what, she refused to step into the gate of Jiaodong Palace.

Ling'er went to pass on the message again, and the old woman was stunned.

She stammered, "Our princess is so dizzy right now, she can't move at all!"

Ling'er said, "She can't move, but you can. What's the problem with you carrying a soft couch to the Zhan Yihou Mansion?"

The old woman hesitated for a moment, then kowtowed again subconsciously: "I have no say in other matters. I only hope that the Marquis's wife can be invited to our Jiaodong Palace!"

Ling'er completely lost her patience. She felt that this old woman was seriously ill.

She shouted sternly, "Come here, gag this rude old woman and drag her out. Don't let her into the house again!"

Two sturdy maids stepped forward and lifted the old woman who was kneeling on the ground out.

No matter how the old woman yelled, Ling'er remained indifferent.

The old woman who was thrown outside the mansion of Marquis Zhan Yi had no choice but to return to the Prince of Jiaodong's mansion in a panic.

When she saw the old princess, she knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have tried my best, but the Marquis's wife refused to come!"

A trace of uneasiness flashed across the old princess's face. She said in a trembling voice, "What should I do? Queen Gao has something on my son. If I don't do what she says, she will tell the emperor, and my son's Jiaodong Island will be lost!"

The old woman said, "I have said all sorts of good and bad things to her, but the Marquis's wife just refuses to come. She even asked me to send someone to carry you to the Marquis Zhan Yi's residence!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the King of Jiaodong coming into the room with a serious expression.

The old princess quickly said: "Go out first, I want to talk to my son!"

The old woman responded and retreated, closing the door tightly.

The old princess spoke first: "Son, Queen Gao has something on you. What should we do?"

A murderous look suddenly flashed across the eyes of the Jiaodong King. He said coldly, "She's already a trapped beast, why is she still so arrogant?"

The old princess sighed helplessly, "For so many years, we have had close private dealings with the Gaoyou Kingdom on Jiaodong Island. She remembers every single gift you received from the Gao Kingdom. She even knew that you secretly transferred the grain sent by the court to Jiaodong Island to the Gaoyou Kingdom!"

The King of Jiaodong suddenly clenched his fists, and a look of panic flashed across his face.

He asked in a serious tone, "What does Queen Gao mean?"

The old princess spoke up, "She only put forward one condition, and that was for Lin Yiwan to die. She gave me a colorless and odorless poison. As long as I let her take it without leaving any trace, she will die suddenly!"

The Prince of Jiaodong immediately interrupted, "No, this will implicate our Jiaodong Palace. Now that Gaoyou has ceded Silver Beach, it's a huge piece of fat meat. When I return, I can strengthen my strength and train the navy. By then, the entire sea will be mine!"

The old princess narrowed her eyes excitedly. That was the Silver Beach. It was said that the finest white pearls on the seabed were as big as fists.

She said anxiously, "But we have to find a way to shut Queen Gao up first. No matter what, Lin Yiwan must die!"

The King of Jiaodong nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter needs careful planning!"

The old princess spoke up, "Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion is still waiting for our reply. She told the maid to carry me over!"

The Prince of Jiaodong's eyes lit up: "This is a good opportunity. You are going to poison her and put it into her tea so that she will die in her own house. We can't be blamed for this!"

The old princess nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll do as you say!"

The King of Jiaodong did not delay and immediately ordered his men to send the old princess, who pretended to be unconscious, to the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi.

He also went with them, his face full of solemn worry, like a filial son.

Lin Yiwan settled the old princess in the guest room and took her pulse first.

Since the old princess had disguised her pulse in advance, she found out that the old princess was indeed in a coma.
