Lin Yiwan remembered Luo Yan's cold face and always felt that the Luo family's affairs were not that simple.

Never mind, it has nothing to do with her after all.

Her uncle hasn't found out who's behind this yet, so she can't make random guesses.

She packed Zhan Yan's luggage for the trip south and put a lot of wound medicine in the box.

The next day, the two were about to part.

Lin Yiwan reached out to tidy up his clothes and said softly, "You must come back safely. Take good care of yourself without me around!"

He nodded heavily: "I saved it!"

Lin Yiwan held back her tears, turned around and walked away quickly.

Zhan Yan mounted his horse with high spirits. He looked calm on the surface, but he was worried in his heart.

He secretly vowed in his heart: "Wanwan, wait for me!"

When Lin Yiwan returned to the yard, she felt a knot in her heart.

They were clearly being affectionate with each other yesterday, but now they are separated.

She sighed helplessly, hoping only that he would return safely.

Just as I was daydreaming, I heard Ling'er's voice coming from outside: "Madam, Eunuch Li from the palace has arrived. He said he wants to see you for something urgent!"

Lin Yiwan stood up suddenly: "Li Delu? What is he doing here? Is there something wrong with the Queen?"

She hurried out and saw Li Delu jogging towards her.

She spoke quickly: "Eunuch Li, please slow down. What is it that has you so anxious?"

Li Delu raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Madam Hou, the Queen has a poor appetite today. The Emperor asks you to go and see her immediately!"

Lin Yiwan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the fetus wasn't disturbed, it wouldn't be a big deal.

She asked Ling'er to carry the medicine box and follow her. After getting on the carriage, they headed straight for the palace.

Before she arrived at the Weiyang Palace, the emperor invited her to the imperial study.

Emperor Sheng An said with a hint of guilt: "Madam Hou, please help me persuade the Queen to think more positively!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and looked at him: "Your Majesty, is it you who caused the Queen to lose her appetite? You should know that she is pregnant with twins, right? Her body can't withstand the slightest shock!"

Emperor Sheng An nodded hurriedly: "I understand, but I have no choice. For the lives of millions of people in the South, I can only let her suffer for now!"

Lin Yiwan was stunned. How could the queen lose her appetite? And was it related to the millions of people in the south?

Emperor Sheng An said with a complicated expression: "You should know very well that this battle against Yan Nan will cost a lot of money!"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "Hasn't Minister Luo already raised the funds? A full four hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Emperor Sheng An reached out and stroked the teacup. "How could it be that easy? Two hundred thousand taels of silver came from the national treasury, and the remaining two hundred thousand taels came from Minister Luo's own pocket!"

Lin Yiwan wasn't too shocked. After all, the Luo family was rich, and the whole country knew it.

Emperor Sheng An coughed and said, "As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the one who has helped him. Even though I am the emperor, I cannot take so much money from Minister Luo for nothing. I must at least give him some comfort!"

Lin Yiwan asked calmly, "So what is the emperor's consolation for the Luo family?"

Emperor Sheng An replied, "Minister Luo said that his daughter has been in love with me for a long time and wants to enter the palace as my concubine!"

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed. Luo Yan was indeed going to enter the palace!

This heartless dog emperor must have gone to consult the queen, which caused her to lose her appetite. He is such a scumbag!

Emperor Sheng An felt her fiery gaze and explained without hesitation, "I have no other choice. I have advised Minister Luo, but now I am fully focused on government affairs and the Empress. If his daughter were to enter the palace, she would definitely be neglected. But he insisted that even if Luo Yan looked at me, he would be happy!"

Lin Yiwan chuckled, "What a devoted and devoted daughter! The Emperor must be very pleased to see a young lady doing this for you!"

Emperor Sheng An felt his face burning, and he subconsciously denied it: "How could it be so? I am not such a fickle man! Lin Yiwan, you are so bold to speculate about me like that!"

Lin Yiwan raised her eyebrows: "Look, she's angry out of shame, right? The Queen is worried about this. Even if you call me here, I can't cure her. I can't stop the daughter of the Luo family from entering the palace!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave.

Emperor Sheng An quickly spoke up, "Please persuade her. She listens to you the most. Besides, your husband is not at home. You can stay in Weiyang Palace and chat with the Queen. Seeing you will make her feel better!"

Lin Yiwan paused and went to Weiyang Palace in silence.

Emperor Sheng An tiptoed and watched her leave before he breathed a sigh of relief.

He spoke obscurely: "Li Delu, Queen, do you still not understand my heart? She is the only one in my heart. She and the child are my life!"

Li Delu stepped forward and poured him a cup of hot tea, saying, "Your Majesty, don't worry. With the Marquis's wife here, the Empress will be able to come to her senses."

Emperor Sheng An lowered his head, took a sip, and nodded: "Well, with her here, my heart, which was hanging in my throat, can finally be put at ease!"

Lin Yiwan had already arrived at the Queen's Palace and heard Concubine Rong admonishing her, "Are you still so naive about the newcomers replacing the old ones in this palace? You are the Queen, and no matter how young she is, she will never surpass you, the legitimate wife!"

The Queen frowned and murmured, "Do you think I'm jealous and have a bad appetite? I just feel that the daughter of the Luo family is not worthy of the emperor. I always feel that there is something strange about Jun'er's death. For so many years, I have been really upset. And Luo Lin, that blind man, pampered that woman like a jewel!"

Rongpin used a tongs to crack walnuts for her. "Please don't say that. Jun'er has been buried for many years, and his son treats that woman as his own mother. How can outsiders like us influence the affairs of the Luo family?"

The Queen sighed, "Jun'er is so pitiful. She risked her life to give birth to a son, but now she calls someone else mother!"

Rongpin took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes: "Look at you, you are sad again. I really can't persuade you. If Youyi sees it later, I will have to accompany you to suffer together!"

When the queen heard her mention Youyi, she was shocked.

Lin Yiwan also walked into the palace at the right time: "Your Highness greets Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty Rong!"

Rongpin quickly stood up and said, "You've come just in time. I can't persuade her anymore. Her eyes are swollen like the walnuts in my hand. I quickly went to get some hot water to spray her eyes, so that others wouldn't see her and make wild assumptions!"

She left in a hurry, and the queen asked her to sit on her right.

She said apologetically, "Wanwan, did the emperor invite you here again? I didn't mean to bother you, he just likes to make a fuss. He really makes me so angry!"

Lin Yiwan laughed: "No, I just wanted to come and keep you company. After all, Zhan Yan has left for the South, and I'm lonely in the mansion by myself!"
