A trace of shyness appeared on Lin Yiwan's pretty face. Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, she could only let him do what he wanted.

She changed the subject: "A Yan, have you heard about Miss Deshan finding a lover? What is the family background of that lover?"

Zhan Yan murmured, "I heard the emperor mention it. He said it was the son of the Pei family. He looked androgynous and his beauty was breathtaking!"

Lin Yiwan was stunned. Pei family member? Pei Jue?

Zhan Yan shook his head. "That's not Pei Jue at all. Pei Jue is the legitimate son of the Pei family. He has been carefully educated since childhood. He has outstanding literary talent and a good character. The emperor thinks highly of him and believes that he will definitely have a place in this year's imperial examination!"

He paused before continuing, "The one living in Lady Deshan's mansion is Pei Ke, a bastard from the Pei family's side branch. His biological mother is said to be Qing, a dancer in the building. His status is very shameful, which makes his position in the mansion very awkward. I don't know how he was favored by the princess and brought to the princess's mansion. Since then, he has become famous!"

Lin Yiwan shook her head. She thought, "Madam, you must be feeling lonely after being a widow for so long."

I have to say, Zhan Yan’s foot massage was so comfortable that it made her drowsy.

Seeing that she could hardly open her eyelids, Zhan Yan washed his hands and planned to change her clothes.

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, and then Ling'er reported with a pale face: "Marquis, Madam, the old nanny sent by the Queen Mother said that His Highness suddenly had a severe bleeding problem. Please go to the rescue as soon as possible!"

Zhan Yan's expression suddenly turned ugly. His Wanwan had just come out of the palace and was already making a fuss.

He frowned and said, "Why don't you ask the imperial physician for me?"

Ling'er replied, "The old nanny said that the injured part of the young lady is very private and it is not convenient for the imperial physician to examine her, so she had to come and trouble you, Madam. She also said that it was the young lady who asked you to go in person!"

Now that things have come to this, Lin Yiwan definitely can't refuse.

Moreover, she was also worried about ***.

She hurriedly put on her cloak and walked out, but was stopped by Zhan Yan: "It's so late, I'll go with you!"

Lin Yiwan understood that he was worried about her, but she thought that *** might not be willing to let Zhan Yan follow her.

As a princess of a country, how could you not care about your reputation?

She said softly, "Don't worry, Lord. Ling'er and Zi'er will take care of me. I'll be fine. If I come back late, you should go to sleep first. Don't stay up late waiting for me!"

Zhan Yan didn't insist any longer. He bent down and kissed her between the eyebrows before sending her to the front yard.

As soon as she got on the carriage at the Princess's residence, Nanny Jin revealed an apologetic expression. She said in a bitter voice, "The Marquis' wife has just returned to the capital, so I really shouldn't have bothered her so hastily. It's just that His Highness is seriously injured this time, and she can't let anyone else see her, so I have no choice but to trouble the Marquis' wife!"

Lin Yiwan quickly replied, "Don't worry, Ma'am. I just happened to miss my mother, so I went to pay my respects to her!"

Nanny Jin immediately felt that the wife of the marquis in front of her was so insightful. No wonder Marquis Zhan Yi treasured her so much, and even the emperor of the time trusted her very much.

After hesitating for a moment, she spoke hesitantly: "Madam, can I ask you for a favor?"

After saying this, he actually stood up and knelt down to pay homage.

Lin Yiwan quickly pulled her up and said, "Mammy, if you have anything to say, just tell me. With your status, how can I accept such a generous gift from you?"

After all, Nanny Jin was an old lady who served beside the empress, and she had always been very friendly to Lin Yiwan, so she respected her very much.

Nanny Jin said with red eyes, "You know, Her Highness is a stubborn person. Once she sets her eyes on someone, she will devote herself to them wholeheartedly. Even if it costs her life, she doesn't care. It's because of that Pei Ke that Her Highness has lost herself. She's been playing with him day and night, and her health has collapsed!"

Lin Yiwan was even more curious. What kind of man was this Pei Ke? How could he have such great magical powers?

It's too exaggerated to make *** so confused that she can't find her way.

Nanny Jin said in a trembling voice, "Her Highness listens to you the most. Please persuade her to be more restrained. After all, she should take care of her own health first!"

Lin Yiwan subconsciously asked, "According to what Madam said, Her Highness must have been injured several times, right?"

Nanny Jin replied resentfully, "It's not just a few injuries; she bled profusely almost every time. And yet, His Highness hasn't recovered yet and has let him do whatever he wants. Until today, it got so bad that when I came, she was nearly fainting from the pain!"

Lin Yiwan gasped when she heard this. Others did that kind of thing just for fun, but *** was risking his life.

She works so hard!

Seeing that Nanny Jin was so anxious that her lips were irritated, it was obvious that she really cared about her mother.

Lin Yiwan advised, "Don't worry, Ma'am. I know what's going on. But you should also understand that with my status, I can't advise her too much. After all, this is her privacy!"

Nanny Jin certainly understood this, and she quickly expressed her gratitude, "The Marquis's wife is advising you as a doctor, and His Highness will certainly keep it in mind. She likes you and will listen to you!"

Lin Yiwan laughed. How could her husband listen to her? She was currently obsessed with her lover Pei Ke, and was afraid that whoever she said would be annoyed.

When she arrived at the princess's mansion, she was hurriedly taken to the backyard.

At this moment, in the luxurious inner hall, *** was lying on the bed with a pale face, and a handsome man was kneeling beside her. He was wiping the cold sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief. His movements were gentle and his eyes were affectionate, which really made people subconsciously indulge in his care.

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but take a deep breath. Now she finally understood that *** could no longer control herself.

This man is really extraordinary!

Of course, it depends on who you compare yourself with!

Her Zhan Yan is more handsome and stronger than him.

Pei Ke in front of me has a really good appearance, but he is thin and pale, just like a porcelain doll that will fall down with a gust of wind.

Only a strong woman like *** would be obsessed with this young man. She just thinks he is too weak.

She walked forward quickly and called softly, "***?"

Her voice seemed to startle Pei Ke, causing his hands to tremble and he quickly stepped back.

Now Lin Yiwan could see him more clearly. His big, bright eyes were wet, and he looked as adorable as a frightened little animal.

*** Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but feel very distressed.

Even though he was still injured, he quickly comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Ke'er, the Marquis's wife is not an outsider, she won't hurt you!"

Pei Ke nodded hurriedly: "The ginseng soup is still being boiled in the small kitchen. Ke'er will go check it out now. She won't disturb the Marquis' wife from seeing His Highness!"

After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry.

***'s infatuated gaze was fixed on him for a long time.

Until Lin Yiwan said, "Your Highness, let me help you find out where you are injured."
