Emperor Sheng An finally stopped in his tracks. He frowned and said, "No wonder you became Zhan Yan's wife. It turns out you two are both born in the Year of the Fox!"
Lin Yiwan retorted dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, why does this sound like something bad to me?"
Emperor Sheng An met her fiery eyes and quickly comforted her: "Alright, I'm afraid of you. The reason I brought you out is that I have something to tell you!"
Lin Yiwan snorted softly, "Even if Your Majesty didn't say it, I'd guessed it. Are you planning to have me reconcile my confessions with Shi Jian so you can pin this on Madam Liu?"
Emperor Sheng An interrupted without hesitation: "Lin Yiwan, I just said you were as cunning as a fox, but now you are so naive. Do you think that the mastermind behind this would still keep Shi Jian after forcing Madam Liu to commit such a horrific act?"
Lin Yiwan pondered, "According to the Emperor, Shi Jian is already dead?"
Emperor Sheng An sighed with a complicated expression: "It is highly likely that he will not survive. Even if he manages to escape, he will definitely change his name and will not be easily found!"
Lin Yiwan's heart was slightly moved, and she subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty, that year, Nanny Liu said that after she switched the child, she drowned in the moat. So where is the body? Did she say where it was buried?"
Emperor Sheng An was stunned for a moment. He was so angry at the time that after hearing this, he ordered his men to strangle Liu Ma to death on the spot without even asking where her body was.
He said with an ugly expression: "I didn't ask in detail!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Yiwan's little face instantly become excited.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Your Majesty, is it possible that the child is still alive in this world?"
Emperor Sheng An's entire body was shaken. He clenched his fists tightly, and after a long moment, he managed to squeeze out two words from between his teeth: "How could this be?"
Lin Yiwan frowned and asked, "Why not? Since Nanny Liu is the Queen's most trusted person, she must be kind. Even if she was forced to frame the Queen, she would never kill innocent people!"
After hearing these words, Emperor Sheng An felt the blood in his body surge violently.
He took a few quick breaths, and his face immediately turned an ugly purple.
Lin Yiwan was startled and quickly reached out to support him and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Emperor Sheng An waved his hands with difficulty: "It's okay, I'm fine, it's just that the news is too shocking, I need to take it easy!"
Lin Yiwan understood that this would shock anyone!
What's more, he has no children in his harem now. When he suddenly heard that there might be a daughter alive in the world, he was lucky that he didn't faint.
Emperor Sheng An looked at Lin Yiwan with scorching eyes: "Hurry up and find your uncle. Make sure he finds Shi Jian's whereabouts as soon as possible!"
Lin Yiwan suddenly panicked. She subconsciously reminded him, "Your Majesty, I just said there's only one possibility. Don't hold out too much hope!"
Emperor Sheng An couldn't help but laugh: "Lin Yiwan, are you scared now? When I just proposed that hypothesis, I didn't see you hesitate at all!"
Lin Yiwan murmured softly, "I just spoke too quickly. I only just realized now that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"
Emperor Sheng An nodded: "I am the emperor, I understand this principle. It is naturally a good thing that she is still alive in this world. But if she really has been drowned, I will ask the queen to ask a monk to perform a ritual for her!"
Lin Yiwan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. My uncle and I will do our best to handle this matter!"
Soon, Li Youde came over driving the carriage himself.
Emperor Sheng An watched Lin Yiwan leave, murmuring hopefully, "Lin Yiwan, I hope you bring back a surprise, not a shock!"
After making sure he could no longer see her, he returned to the Queen's palace.
The Queen arranged for Concubine Rong to live in a side hall, which made him a little worried.
He tentatively suggested, "Queen, your Weiyang Palace has never had outsiders enter it, and you are still in the crucial period of pregnancy. Why not send her back to her original palace?"
The Queen interrupted without hesitation: "No, Your Majesty, have you forgotten? When I was still in the boudoir, Rong'er and I were good friends. I never thought that she had been crazy for so many years because of me. I feel so guilty!"
Seeing her tears about to fall, Emperor Sheng An was so frightened that he quickly comforted her: "Okay, if you want to keep her, then stay, but you must be on guard. You don't know if her madness will relapse. If she hurts you, it will be no joke!"
The Queen nodded and said, "I know the importance of this matter. I would like to go and talk to Rong'er for a few words. Your Majesty, can you sleep alone tonight?"
Emperor Sheng An wanted to say no, but seeing the empress's pleading eyes, like a little deer, he said helplessly: "How can I say no?"
The queen saluted him happily, turned around and walked quickly to the side hall.
Looking at her back, Emperor Sheng An felt extremely resentful!
The Queen passed away in such a joyful way!
He, he is the emperor, but he can't compete with Rongpin?
At this time, there was another sound of porcelain breaking in Concubine De's palace. She was panting heavily, her face full of ferocious anger, and there was no trace of her former dignified demeanor.
An old lady was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, and one could see with the naked eye that she was trembling all over.
Concubine De was really crazy for a while before she finally stopped.
She reached out and smoothed her messy hair, then gnashed her teeth and asked, "Did the Queen really keep Concubine Rong in Weiyang Palace? Didn't she kick her out?"
The old nanny shook her head vigorously: "No, I asked the eunuch guarding the gate, and it seems that the two of them have reconciled after the Marquis's wife persuaded them!"
Concubine De's eyes widened in shock. "How could that be? What kind of hatred is that? How can we resolve the past grudge? Could it be that Concubine Rong is enduring humiliation and deceiving the Emperor and Empress?"
The old nanny shook her head. "I didn't find out anything about that, but the Marquis's wife has already left the palace. I heard she left in a hurry. The Emperor values her very much and asked General Li to drive the carriage and escort her personally!"
Concubine De clenched her fists and said, "Lin Yiwan is really capable. She has messed up all my affairs. She must die!"
The old nanny spoke nervously, "Your Majesty, should we send a message to the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion and ask them to send someone to keep an eye on Lin Yiwan and see what she's doing for the Emperor?"
Concubine De calmed down instantly. She lowered her eyes and pondered, "You are right. I can't just sit there and wait for death. I must see through all her plans in advance before I can deal with her!"
Without further hesitation, she immediately wrote a letter to the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion.
After the old nanny got it, she quickly ordered someone to send it out.
At this time, Lin Yiwan had already arrived at the Lin Mansion. She asked Li Youde to wait outside and went into Lin Ran's study.
