The nurse smiled and replied, "No!"

Zhan Yan then placed the baby in the cradle, his eyes filled with unmelted tenderness.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his daughter is so cute!

I really want to hold you forever!

I don’t know if they could tell what he was thinking, but the two little boys next to him were crying louder and louder.

Zhan Yan said directly: "They are too noisy. Take them to the next room first, so as not to disturb Wanwan and Sanbao's sleep!"

The other two wet nurses were stunned. My Lord, aren’t you going to coax her?

Obviously these two are your sons!

If it were an ordinary family, seeing the little prince, they would hug him in their arms and cry out in joy.

Only this Marquis Zhan Yi didn't even look at it.

He even dislikes them crying!

How come this is the opposite?

In the end, Ling'er came in and took them all away, leaving Zhan Yan alone to guard the unconscious Lin Yiwan and the third girl.

The night was long and Zhan Yan dozed off while sitting.

He grabbed the third girl's cradle with his left hand and Lin Yiwan's wrist with his right hand, refusing to let go.

It wasn't until Li Wang sent Ling'er to wake him up that he asked worriedly, "What happened to Wanwan?"

Ling'er replied respectfully, "Madam, it's fine. The prince wants to talk to the marquis about something. He's waiting for you in the study. He looks a little unhappy!"

Zhan Yan rubbed his face with his hands, then stood up and walked out.

He arrived at the study, and before he could open his mouth, he saw King Li pick up the inkstone and smash it hard on his head.

As he smashed it, he roared, "Zhan Yan, you did a good thing!"

Zhan Yan turned his head to avoid it, and the inkstone fell to the ground with a crash, breaking into pieces.

He subconsciously asked, "Father, why are you so angry all of a sudden? It's my fault I didn't make it back for Wanwan's birth. I will make it up to you!"

Prince Li suddenly grabbed his collar and scolded him with gnashing teeth: "You still remember that I am your father. Don't you know what you have done?"

Zhan Yan's neck was strangled and it hurt, but he didn't dare to struggle.

Because he was worried that it would provoke even greater anger from King Li. After all, he was Wanwan's father, and he could not disobey him.

He said anxiously: "Father, what on earth have I done? Can you give me some clues?"

Prince Li interrupted directly: "The Buddhist girl from the inn!"

Zhan Yan then realized that he had really forgotten about that woman.

He lowered his voice and said, "Father, you misunderstood. The reason I brought her back is because I want to use her as bait. She might be someone belonging to Old Qiu Jiang!"

Prince Li's sharp eyes squinted at him suspiciously, and when he saw that he was indeed calm, he softened his expression and asked, "How can you be so sure that she is Old Qiu Jiang's woman?"

Zhan Yan replied respectfully, "Because of the timing of her appearance. Moreover, she rushed out and saved my life when I was about to be assassinated!"

King Li immediately understood that this was a way to use the gratitude for saving his life to force Zhan Yan to fight.

He frowned and pondered, "Then how do you plan to place her? She just sent someone to find her at Prince Li's mansion. She said she's seriously injured. Please bring a doctor over to treat her!"

Zhan Yan nodded. "I'll arrange for Grandfather to go, but just to be on the safe side, I won't let her get close to Wanwan and the children. Your Highness, don't worry. I will definitely use her to lure out Elder Qiu Jiang!"

Prince Li said with a cold expression, "Wanwan is weak right now and can't afford any mishaps. You must keep this a secret from her. Whether you're fishing or doing something else, I won't let you down. Otherwise, I'll kill you!"

Zhan Yan sincerely assured, "Don't worry, father. I will never betray Wanwan. Qiu Jiang is the remnant of the previous dynasty. They are ruthless and crazy in their revenge. If we don't eradicate them completely, there will be no peace in the court!"

Prince Li understood this truth very well. In the past, the Qiu family was tyrannical and the people suffered terribly. The Xiao family aspired to the throne because they were recommended by the people.

What right do they have to try to overthrow the throne again? If the throne falls into their hands again, the people will inevitably be plunged into dire straits.

He took a deep breath and said, "Zhan Yan, I leave this matter to you. Please proceed with caution and don't let that Buddhist girl fool you!"

A complex look flashed in Zhan Yan's eyes. So what if she was a Buddhist girl?

No matter how stunningly beautiful she is, with a fair complexion and graceful figure, she is still not as beautiful as his Wanwan.

He nodded heavily: "Don't worry, father, I won't let you down!"

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.

However, just as he reached the door, he was called back by King Li.

He said in a deep voice, "Since this is a show, then do it in full force. You brought back a woman when Wanwan was giving birth. As your father, it would be unacceptable if I didn't beat you up!"

Zhan Yan looked at him in surprise: "Father, you really want to hit me!"

"Bang!" He had just finished speaking when he was punched in the left eye. He almost fell to the ground with his head back.

He managed to stand firmly, but felt a burning pain on the left side of his face.

He couldn't help but suspect that his father was seeking revenge!

Ah, it hurts so much, he wants to go to Wanwan to complain.

Without further hesitation, he turned around and walked quickly towards the inner courtyard.

The cold voice of the King of Li came from behind him: "You'd better not go to see Wanwan. I will explain to her when she wakes up. For the next few days, just concentrate on dealing with that Buddhist girl outside!"

Zhan Yan paused and couldn't help but complain in his heart, in this world, no one is more sinister than King Li.

After beating someone up, you are not allowed to complain!

Wanwan, save your husband!

In the end, he was unable to return to the inner courtyard, but instead took the old doctor Lin to the Qingfeng Inn where the Buddhist girl was settled.

Doctor Lin was shocked to see Zhan Yan with a black eye. He asked in confusion, "Did your father beat you?"

Zhan Yan replied aggrievedly: "Yes!"

He originally thought that his grandfather would feel sorry for him eventually, right?

However, all he got was a retort: ​​"Good beating! Who told you not to be with Wanwan when she was in pain? Do you know that because you weren't around, she didn't even let her take Ma Fei San and had to endure the pain. I was afraid that if she passed out, something would happen to the children!"

Zhan Yan's eyes couldn't help but turn red, he felt that he deserved it!

He blamed himself and said, "Grandfather, it's my fault. I will be twice as nice to Wanwan in the future!"

Doctor Lin reached out and patted his shoulder: "Zhan Yan, I hope you can do what you say, otherwise, your father and I, including all of our Lin family members, will never let you go!"

Zhan Yan suddenly remembered something and immediately lowered his voice to remind him, "Grandfather, the woman I'll ask you to treat later is lurking around me on purpose. When you see her, remember to pretend to be angry!"

Doctor Lin gave him a reassuring look and said, "Grandfather knows what to do. You don't need to teach me!"

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at Qingfeng Inn, and Zhan Yan walked in first.

At this time, the Buddhist girl Zener was lying on the bed with a pale face. Her monk's robe was soaked with blood, which looked shocking.
