She put her nose close to her body and sniffed around like a puppy.

She closed her eyes and murmured, "My Lord, you smell so good. Why do you still have the scent of medicine on you?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Lin Yiwan's eyes, and she said sarcastically, "Madam Cheng En, you're dreaming of going to see your prince!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the silver needle had already pierced into her sleeping point.

Mrs. Cheng Enbo fell on her and did not move.

Lin Yiwan pushed her away, reached out to tidy up her clothes, and then went to the study in the front yard.

She tiptoed to the window and heard the cold voice of the Loyal and Brave King: "Cheng Enbo, are you ready for everything I ask you to do?"

Cheng Enbo nodded hurriedly. "Every major teahouse and theater in the capital, wherever there are crowds of people, has arranged storytellers to spread rumors. Before nightfall, the censors and important officials in the court will know this news!"

King Zhongyong narrowed his eyes in satisfaction. "Sheng Kaiyuan, you are a smart person who knows how to judge the situation. You can run around for me. After I ascend the throne, I will never treat you unfairly!"

Sheng Kaiyuan's face was filled with excitement. His title of Earl was the lowest rank of nobility in the dynasty, and it was about to end in his lifetime.

He is an incompetent person and cannot compete for other official positions.

But if you want to maintain the dignity of the Sheng family, you have to take a different approach and find other ways.

King Zhongyong appeared at the right time and promised that if he succeeded in the future, he would be granted the title of Duke Cheng'en of the Dangchao, which is the highest title.

He suddenly had an illusion and was willing to serve him without hesitation.

He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Kaiyuan is willing to go through fire and water for you to achieve hegemony. However, how can you be so sure that Marquis Zhan Yi is really born to a woman from Li Country?"

The loyal and brave king said contemptuously: "I have a trump card in my hand. You don't need to worry about it. As long as you do as I say, Zhan Yan will surely become a rat crossing the street that everyone will shout and beat!"

Cheng Enbo frowned and pondered, "After he is forced to give up his power, who can Your Majesty arrange to take over the military power in his hands?"

The eyes of the loyal and brave king suddenly became sharp and dark, which frightened Cheng Enbo so much that he shuddered all over.

He quickly explained, "Kaiyuan has no intention of trying to guess the prince's thoughts. He is just afraid that the military power will fall into someone else's hands. If that happens, we will be making things difficult for others!"

King Zhongyong interrupted without hesitation: "No, I can guarantee this!"

Hearing this, Lin Yiwan's heart sank suddenly. King Zhongyong was so confident, and the person who could get the military power must be a chess piece he had arranged long ago.

Who on earth is it?

It turns out that there is an extremely powerful ghost hiding in the military camp!

Thinking of this, Lin Yiwan's eyes gradually became sharp.

She frowned, a little surprised that King Zhongyong and Sheng Kaiyuan were not sleepy yet. Could it be that the sleeping powder had no effect on them?

Forget it, she'll use another drug!

She quickly took out a cigarette, lit it, and quietly put it into the crack of the door.

Soon, the doubtful voice of the King of Loyalty and Bravery came from inside the house: "Kaiyuan, do you smell any fragrance?"

Sheng Kaiyuan answered without hesitation: "Yes, I smelled it just now. It turns out that the prince and my wife use the same spices? What a coincidence!"

King Zhongyong touched his nose awkwardly: "Yes, what a coincidence!"

Sheng Kaiyuan yawned lazily: "Your Highness, please stay in the study tonight. I will go back to accompany my wife first!"

After saying that, he pushed the door and left.

King Zhongyong frowned at his back and cursed in a low voice: "Stupid turtle, it's because you crawled down from your wife that you have the same fragrance as her!"

He quickly walked to the bed next to him and lay down on it with his clothes on.

His eyelids felt so heavy that he fell into a deep sleep in a moment.

Lin Yiwan pushed the door open and walked to his side with a vigilant look on her face.

She called out in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Earl Chengen wants to see you about something important!"

King Zhongyong did not respond at all, and his breathing even became heavier.

Lin Yiwan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she quickly searched his body back and forth.

However, no matter how she searched every corner of his clothes, she could not find any trace of the Saint's Order.

She was stunned for a moment. No way, how could she not have such important evidence with her?

She continued searching again, even pushing him over.

Perhaps the movement was too big, and King Zhongyong felt it.

He hummed unconsciously: "Who?"

Lin Yiwan suddenly froze, her heart rising to her throat with nervousness.

She couldn't help but frown. Was she going to be discovered?

She raised her head tremblingly and saw that King Chungyong was still asleep.

He was mumbling something, as if he was talking in his sleep.

Lin Yiwan finally let out a breath and couldn't help but frown as she pondered where he had hidden the Saint's Order.

She went to great lengths to run to the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion, so she wouldn't return empty-handed, right?

Just when she was feeling a little depressed, she suddenly saw how King Chungyong turned over, but the bun on his head was still bulging and did not fall apart.

She felt something in her heart and subconsciously untied his hair.

Suddenly, the glittering white golden hairpin appeared in front of her eyes, shining brightly and looking very beautiful.

Lin Yiwan quickly took it in her hand and put a similar gold hairpin in it.

After making sure there were no omissions, she stood up and left quickly.

She returned to Sheng Baozhu's yard, added some ingredients to the prepared ointment and placed it on the table.

The next morning, rumors about Zhan Yan spread in the capital.

Although the storytellers did not mention any names, anyone with a discerning eye knew that they were talking about Zhan Yihou.

It is said that his biological mother was a refugee from the Li Kingdom, who was picked up by Old Lady Zhan in a temple and brought back to the Zhan family. However, she turned out to be a restless woman, secretly climbed into the bed of the master of the Zhan family, and became pregnant with his child.

The woman had a tragic life and died of heavy bleeding while giving birth to him.

Only a golden hairpin was left as a token of his heritage, proving his descent from the Kingdom of Li.

After hearing this rumor, the imperial censors in the court could no longer sit still. Zhan Yan actually had the blood of the Li Kingdom. How could this be possible?

He was a general who held military power in the current dynasty. The Li Kingdom had always been at odds with the Sheng Dynasty, and they had fought countless wars.

Countless civilians and soldiers were killed or wounded!

Such a deep hatred is simply difficult to resolve.

Since Zhan Yan was born to a woman from the Li Kingdom, he must never hold military power or an important position again!

All the imperial censors gathered and headed towards Emperor Sheng'an's imperial study.

At this time, Emperor Sheng An was in the Empress's palace. He leaned on her waist and said, "Empress, why can't I feel the child's movement?"

The Queen couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty, the period is still early, how can you feel it so quickly?"

The emperor reached out and carefully stroked her belly, whispering, "Child, it's your father. You must be good in your mother's belly. After you are born, your father will let you ride a horse every day!"
