Defei felt bitter, she didn't want this honor.

Ye Ling is a chess piece carefully cultivated by his father and must not be sent to the top of Hongshan.

She gritted her teeth and turned to look at Zhan Yan: "Marquis Zhan Yi, have you been standing by and watching until now? Please help my sister plead for mercy and don't let the emperor send her to the top of Hongshan!"

Zhan Yan frowned and replied, "Why should I help her plead for mercy? This is clearly the emperor's grace to the Ye family and his appreciation for Miss Ye. Ordinary people would never get such an opportunity!"

Shame and anger kept surging in Ye Ling's eyes. It would have been fine if Zhan Yan looked down on her, but he actually wanted to humiliate her.

Emperor Sheng An was too cruel. He sent her to the top of Hongshan Mountain. Once she got there, it would be too late for her to come down.

She said in grief and anger: "Your Majesty, please revoke your order. I am weak and cannot handle this important task!"

Concubine De also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, my sister has been prone to dizziness since she was a child. How can she ring the bell? What if she dies as soon as she goes up there? Wouldn't it affect the fate of the country!"

As she spoke, Ye Ling was already staggering and unable to kneel steadily.

Emperor Sheng An subconsciously looked at Zhan Yan: "Isn't your wife the best at conditioning her body? Let her show Ye Ling whether she can be a bell ringer?"

Zhan Yan nodded: "Okay, I will send someone to invite her to the palace right away!"

Concubine De froze. Would Ye Ling be okay in Lin Yiwan's hands?

She subconsciously stopped him: "Marquis Zhan Yi, there's no need to trouble Madam Hou. There's a doctor in the Marquis Huaiyang Mansion who can treat Ling'er!"

Emperor Sheng An interrupted impatiently: "Can the doctor of the Huaiyang Marquis Mansion compare to Lin Yiwan's medical skills? Not only did she save me, she also saved Concubine Yun!"

Concubine De bit her lips in panic, her eyes filled with regret.

She shouldn't have been so anxious to let Ye Ling plot against Zhan Yan. Now she is in a dilemma.

If this matter involves Lin Yiwan, she will definitely make Ye Ling suffer half his life.

By then, being a bell ringer would probably be a luxury.

Ye Ling was also very afraid because he had not gained any advantage since the confrontation with Lin Yiwan.

Now that he is about to fall into her hands, he is even more uneasy.

However, what was supposed to come finally arrived.

Lin Yiwan hurried into the hall, and the coldness in her eyes seemed to freeze Ye Ling to death.

She was the first to speak respectfully: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, and your Majesty, your Majesty!"

Emperor Sheng An waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities. I asked you to come here so that you can check Ye Ling's pulse and see if she is fit to be sent to the top of Hongshan Mountain as a bell ringer!"

Lin Yiwan knew better than anyone that to put it nicely, he was a bell ringer, but to put it bluntly, he was a prisoner.

Every day when I open my eyes, the bell rings, and it cannot stop for twenty-four hours a day.

Truly favored noble ladies would not choose to go to the top of Hongshan Mountain. Only those who wanted to exchange their daughters for official positions would choose a concubine's daughter from the family and send her there.

Since Emperor Sheng An chose Ye Ling, she was happy to go with the flow and build bridges and ladders.

Otherwise, how could she justify seducing her husband?

She immediately narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!"

She didn't hesitate any longer and grabbed Ye Ling's wrist.

While checking her pulse, she frowned and asked, "Miss Ye, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Ye Ling replied weakly, "I often feel dizzy and sometimes I can't even stand steadily!"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "Your energy and blood are abundant, so you don't look seriously ill. As for why you're dizzy, it's probably because you lack the experience of looking down from a height. Come on, I'll treat you!"

Ye Ling froze. "Treat? How does Madam Hou plan to treat me?"

Lin Yiwan spoke without hesitation: "Of course, it's to let you look down from a high place. Once you get used to it, you won't feel dizzy!"

She didn't hesitate any longer, dragged Ye Ling's wrist and walked out quickly.

Concubine De was alarmed and shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty, please stop the Marquis's wife immediately! She might be trying to scare my sister!"

Emperor Sheng An interrupted directly: "What nonsense are you talking about? The Marquis's wife is treating your sister's dizziness. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Otherwise, I will order someone to sew your mouth shut with a needle!"

Concubine De's teeth chattered with fear. She asked in panic, "Where is she taking my sister?"

Emperor Sheng An said calmly, "It should be the Rain-Praying Tower. It's the highest point in the palace!"

At this time, Ye Ling was dragged all the way by Lin Yiwan. Every time she stepped up a step, her heart beat heavily.

Seeing that they had reached the top, Ye Ling finally couldn't bear it anymore. She said with a sad face: "Madam, please let me go. I really will never provoke Marquis Zhan Yi again. I know I was wrong. Please don't bother with me!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Miss Ye, what are you talking about? I'm clearly following the Emperor's orders to treat you. And, you're such a wretch, provoke our Marquis! You're really overestimating yourself. How could he even think highly of you?"

Ye Ling was so choked up that he couldn't breathe. In terms of heartache, if Lin Yiwan dared to claim second place, no one would dare to claim first place!

She gritted her teeth and said, "What good will it do you to be an enemy of the Ye family? Do you think that sending me to the top of Hongshan Mountain will solve the problem once and for all? It's impossible. There will be another woman who would want to fight against Zhan Yihou!"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Hehe, then let them come. Life in the harem is pretty lonely anyway, so let them keep me company and relieve my boredom!"

Ye Ling was completely stunned. It was the first time she had seen such an unyielding and terrifying woman.

Before she could think any further, a thin rope was already tied around her waist.

She asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Lin Yiwan lowered her voice and replied, "Shh, I'm going to start treating Miss Ye's vertigo!"

She shook her head vigorously in fear: "No, I don't want to be treated!"

Lin Yiwan curled her lips and revealed a devilish smile: "That's not up to you. Now on the rain-praying tower, I'm the boss!"

She pushed with both hands, and Ye Ling rushed out with a scream.

The rope that was originally tied around her waist suddenly tightened, her feet stepped into the air, and her whole body was hanging on the rain-praying tower that was dozens of feet high.

She cried out miserably, "Help, help!"

After seeing this, Concubine De, who was standing at the foot of the tower, could not help but complain in anger and grief: "Your Majesty, how can you treat someone like this? Lin Yiwan is just seeking revenge. She hates my sister, so she punished her like this!"

Emperor Sheng An retorted in dissatisfaction: "Nonsense, Madam Hou's methods of treating illnesses are all kinds of strange. Before, she steamed me alive and roasted Concubine Yun alive, didn't she just let us be healthy?"

Concubine De clenched her fists tightly. She felt that Ye Ling was in great danger this time.

This rain-praying tower is so high. If it falls down, it will definitely be smashed into pieces.

Emperor Sheng An turned to look at Zhan Yan, who was standing beside him. "Marquis Zhan Yi, I have to say, I'm deeply impressed by your wife's medical skills. We must have the Imperial Hospital learn from her and carry forward her medical skills. This way, we can cure many difficult and complicated diseases!"
