Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Madam Zhan lowered her voice and reminded, "Your Highness, I have an idea. Isn't the Queen pregnant? We can use Lin Yiwan as an excuse to send her a bowl of abortion pills. If this works, we can kill two birds with one stone!"

Imperial Concubine Zhan frowned and pondered, "It's easy to say, but it's really difficult to do. How can I deliver this medicine without arousing the Queen's suspicion?"

Old Madam Zhan whispered a few words into her ear, and her eyes gradually became fierce.

She murmured sarcastically, "Mother, this is a really good idea. Now that I have no child, the Queen can no longer be a mother. Not only will I ruin her pregnancy, I'll also take her life!"

After discussing the details with her, Madam Zhan took her leave.

As night fell, a murder occurred in a famous brothel in the capital.

At that time, Han Guojiu had an argument with someone over a courtesan, and in the chaos, he accidentally pushed him.

Unexpectedly, he slipped backwards, hit the back of his head, and his brains burst out.

Uncle Han Guo was arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice prison, awaiting investigation.

It was already late at night when the news reached the palace.

Emperor Sheng An was worried that the empress could not bear the blow, so he issued a strict order to keep the news secret.

However, a little eunuch accidentally revealed the secret to the queen, and she was so frightened that she fainted.

When she woke up, she had constant abdominal pain.

She pleaded with Emperor Sheng An: "Your Majesty, I have been dependent on my brother since I was young. If anything happens to him, my heart will be as hot as boiling oil."

Emperor Sheng An advised: "The case has not been fully investigated yet. Just listen to me and take care of your baby!"

The queen couldn't help shedding tears. How could she concentrate on her pregnancy? That was her elder brother. If anything happened to him, the Han family would have no descendants.

Normally, he is not a dissolute person. Why did he suddenly go to a brothel to compete with others for the title of the most beautiful girl?

Due to the constant worry, she became visibly thinner.

Emperor Sheng An saw this and felt deeply distressed.

He quickly found Zhan Yan and said, "Hurry up and let your wife enter the palace!"

Zhan Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Emperor Sheng An said worriedly, "I'm worried about the Queen. Uncle Han's incident has hit her too hard. She's had no appetite these past few days and has frequent abdominal pains. The imperial physician said this is very dangerous!"

Zhan Yan did not hesitate any longer. Since this concerned the emperor's offspring, he could not be negligent.

He hurried back to the Marquis' Mansion and told Lin Yiwan about the Queen's situation.

She nodded: "Okay, I'll bring some pregnancy-protecting medicine with me. However, a heart disease needs to be treated with heart medicine. Uncle Hanguo's affairs still need to be investigated as soon as possible!"

Zhan Yan said with a complicated expression: "Before I came back, I went to the Dali Temple. Your uncle said that, judging from the surface, that man did die at the hands of Uncle Han Guo!"

Lin Yiwan pondered, "I remember Uncle Han Guo was a very upright man, wasn't he? He used to work in the Ministry of War, but after the empress was crowned, to avoid suspicion, he asked to take a sinecure at the Ministry of Rites."

Zhan Yan nodded. "That's right. He's a decent man. Although he's never married, he's never been one to hang out in brothels. This time, he's fighting with someone just to win the title of Oiran. It's truly unbelievable!"

Lin Yiwan frowned, thinking that something must be wrong when things are abnormal.

The former dynasty and the harem are closely related. If something happens to Han Guo's uncle, the pregnant queen will inevitably be implicated.

I'm afraid that this conspiracy is aimed at the Queen.

Then, her trip to the palace must be extremely dangerous.

She quickly checked all the necessary herbs again, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was fine.

She asked in a serious tone, "My husband, I have a gold medal given by the emperor himself. Does that mean I won't be searched again when I enter the palace?"

As smart as Zhan Yan was, he immediately understood her concern. She was afraid that someone would tamper with the herbs she brought in.

He immediately said, "With me here, no one can search you!"

The couple immediately entered the palace, and when they reached the inner gate, they were stopped by the guards.

He said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Zhan Yi. The sharp weapons must be left behind. All necessary items need to be inspected before they can be brought into the harem. I beg Lord Zhan Yi's forgiveness!"

Zhan Yan said coldly: "Let Li Youde come!"

The guards did not dare to disobey his order and quickly invited Li Youde, who was on patrol, to come before Zhan Yan.

He subconsciously asked: "My Lord, didn't you just leave?"

Zhan Yan answered without hesitation, "I sent Wanwan here to nurse the Queen back to health, but her medicines must not be passed on to anyone else!"

Li Youde immediately understood and nodded: "Okay, then please invite Madam Hou to go directly to the inner palace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a questioning voice rang out: "Commander Li, isn't this a bit against the rules? What if she brought poison with her? Then we'll all be in trouble too!"

Li Youde frowned and looked over, and it was none other than Deputy Commander Du Qing.

He bowed and saluted: "My Lord, please don't make things difficult for us poor brothers. You are a favorite of the Emperor, so it's no big deal if you make a few mistakes. But it's different for us. If we put something we shouldn't put in there, we will lose our lives at worst, or be beaten with a stick at the least!"

Li Youde subconsciously scolded, "Du Qing, what nonsense are you talking about? The Marquis's wife is here to treat the Queen. She is an excellent doctor and has the deep trust of the Emperor and the Queen. How can you question her?"

Du Qing retorted: "I have no doubts. I am just concerned about the lives of my brothers and am following the rules!"

Just one sentence made Li Youde's face turn pale.

Zhan Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "It's my fault for not considering it carefully. I've put Commander Li in a difficult position!"

He turned to look at Lin Yiwan: "Madam, take out the medicine you brought and let them check it first?"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Okay!"

She handed over the medicine box with a calm expression.

Li Youde was worried, so he followed him into the inspection room.

Zhan Yan asked in a low voice: "Madam, if your medicine was replaced, would you be able to tell?"

Lin Yiwan blinked. "Of course I can. My husband wants me to check the medicine box right here and now?"

Zhan Yan coldly said, "If there is any traitor, we must arrest him!"

About a cup of tea later, Li Youde and Du Qing took the medicine box and walked out.

Du Qing spoke first: "There is nothing wrong with the medicine box. Madam Hou can bring it into the harem!"

Lin Yiwan didn't reach out to take it, but frowned and asked, "I wonder which imperial physician is on duty today?"

Du Qing was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What does Madam Hou mean?"

Lin Yiwan spoke without hesitation, "You don't trust me, but I'm certainly not like you. This medicine box has been in someone else's hands, so I have to check it again to avoid any mistakes in the future that can be blamed on me!"
