Lin Yiwan took out the jade bottle hidden in her sleeve and said, "Grandfather, please check if there is any medicinal herb mixed in this wine?"

Doctor Lin put his nose close to the tip of the tea and sniffed it, his expression immediately becoming very serious.

He quickly asked, "Where did you get it?"

Lin Yiwan did not answer, but looked at Zhan Yan.

He was silent for a moment before frowning and saying, "Is it the Saint?"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "It was her. When she poured me the wine, I noticed that the taste was not right, so I didn't drink it!"

Doctor Lin spoke without hesitation, "It's a good thing you didn't drink it. This stuff contains a very poisonous disfiguring drug called Butterfly Dew. If you had drunk it, your face would have been covered in butterfly-shaped boils the next day!"

A chilling coldness flashed across Zhan Yan's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Saint wants to harm you!"

Lin Yiwan quickly spoke up, "My Lord, don't jump to conclusions. I suspect it wasn't her because I quietly changed the wine jug while we were drinking, but she didn't even suspect a thing and just drank from it!"

Zhan Yan raised his eyebrows: "Maybe she has the antidote, that's why she is so fearless!"

She shook her head: "Although she doesn't like me, she won't want to kill me!"

Zhan Yan was stunned: "She doesn't like you, why does she dislike you? What qualifications does she have?"

Imperial Physician Lin also spoke up, "Yes, Wanwan, your grandfather seems so confused. How could that Saintess from the Li Kingdom possibly control you?"

There was a flash of intense struggle in Lin Yiwan's eyes. Although her grandfather would not harm her, she was also afraid that there might be ears!

She must hide Zhan Yan's life experience from him!

She took a deep breath and said, "Maybe it's because I made Wueryun lose face? She wants to warn me!"

Doctor Lin also knew that Wueryun had tricked her into going to the Beast Garden, and she was immediately very angry.

He couldn't help but angrily scolded: "No wonder Princess Li is so spoiled. It turns out that if the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked. Even if she is dissatisfied with you, she has to hold it in!"

Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, Grandpa, they all have to hold it in. Don't be angry anymore. If you get sick from anger, there will be no one to take your place!"

Doctor Lin's expression softened at her amusement. He held the poison in his hand and said, "Should I go and complain to the Emperor, asking him to thoroughly investigate the person who was trying to murder you?"

Lin Yiwan quickly stopped him: "No, I can handle it myself. Grandpa, you go ahead and do your work. We won't bother you anymore!"

After saying that, he dragged Zhan Yan away.

Doctor Lin looked at her back and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She came quickly and left quickly. She was still like a crazy girl when she was a child.

Zhan Yan was dragged to a deserted place by her and couldn't help but speak: "Wanwan, why don't you let your grandfather investigate whether the Saint Girl poisoned you?"

Lin Yiwan glared at him: "It wasn't her who poisoned me at all!"

Zhan Yan retorted: "Even if it's not her, it's related to her. After all, the person who poisoned her is by her side!"

Lin Yiwan held his hand and said, "My Lord, are you done with your work? Can we go back to the Marquis' Mansion today?"

Zhan Yan's heart moved. Since she refused to say it, there must be something hidden.

He immediately said, "There's no end to the work. I can leave whenever I want!"

He took Lin Yiwan on the carriage and asked Zi'er to rush back to the Marquis' Mansion.

After entering her room, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My Lord, I suspect the Saint is your biological mother!"

Zhan Yan froze, a hint of doubt flashing across his handsome face.

He subconsciously asked, "How could that be? Why do you have such doubts?"

Lin Yiwan snorted coldly, "She doubted my sincerity in marrying you and even tested me in various ways. The way she looked at me was like a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law!"

Zhan Yan couldn't help but ask: "Are you overthinking it?"

She shook her head. "Don't doubt my subconscious. I can feel her uneasiness and struggle. She thought she was being very restrained, but I realized that she couldn't wait to find your shadow in me. She wanted to find out about your life!"

Zhan Yan didn't say anything else. This was a huge shock to him.

Lin Ruoyou stepped forward, hugged his shoulders and said, "I said I would face it with you!"

He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Do you know what this means? If my background is exposed, I will become a target of public criticism. I will no longer be the Marquis of Zhan Yi, let alone command an army!"

She agreed without hesitation: "I know, I know everything you said, so we must prevent the worst outcome from happening!"

Zhan Yan took a deep breath. He always believed that there was no impenetrable wall in this world. As long as there were any clues that surfaced, they might be spied on by others and they would spare no effort to dig them out.

He spoke quickly, "Wanwan, if she is truly my biological mother, then we cannot openly recognize each other!"

Lin Yiwan blinked her eyes. Yes, one of them is the Holy Maiden of Li Country. Holy Maidens in all dynasties are not allowed to marry and will live alone all their lives!

And he, Zhan Yan, is a righteous warrior who has repeatedly made military achievements on the battlefield!

It is no exaggeration to say that he is the top general of Sheng State!

If his biological mother is a saint from the enemy country, his prestige in the army will be greatly reduced.

By then, I’m afraid neither country will be able to accommodate him!

At the moment, the most appropriate solution is not only not to recognize each other, but also to keep this news secret and never let anyone know.

She soothed him gently, "Then we won't acknowledge her. Once she leaves Sheng Chao, perhaps everything will return to normal!"

Zhan Yan frowned. Will he regain his composure?

He was a little worried!

The wind blew outside the window, and soon it started to rain heavily.

Lin Yiwan quickly closed the window and urged Zhan Yan to take a medicinal bath.

The world is big, but recovering your body is the most important thing!

At this time, in the cold palace of the imperial palace, Concubine Zhan, covered in filth, was huddled in a corner. She was a little confused, her skin had become wrinkled, and she looked like an old woman.

She was shivering with cold, still muttering to herself, "Your Majesty, it's not my fault. I just want a child. If you can't give it to me, why can't I find someone else?"

Bang! The door was blown open by the cold wind, and she screamed in fright.

She held her ears and yelled, "I don't want to drink, don't make me drink anymore, I feel so uncomfortable, I'm going to die!"

A man in black walked in quickly, staring at her with disgust on his face: "Look at you, the once high and mighty Concubine Zhan, what has become of you?"

Concubine Zhan subconsciously raised her head and squinted her eyes, trying to see clearly who was coming.

After a moment, she finally recognized it.

She practically knelt at his feet and begged, "Prince, please save me and take me away."

King Zhongyong sneered, "You want me to save you? Do you know that I won't save useless people?"

Concubine Zhan was stunned. What use could she be?
