Lin Ruoxin boldly said, "If it works, the emperor must order the Lin family to take my family back and allocate a few large courtyards!"

Emperor Sheng An ignored her and stared at the changes in the children with burning eyes.

Another cup of tea passed, and there was still no change in the eyes of the two little princes. Perhaps they were tired and had started crying.

Lin Ruoxin was also a little confused. What was going on? Didn’t they say that after taking the pill, one would immediately regain clarity of mind?

It's been so long, why hasn't it gotten better yet?

She raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, and her face, which was originally full of pride, gradually turned pale and terrifying.

Until Emperor Sheng An's angry voice exploded above her head: "Didn't you say it could be cured? Why doesn't it work?"

Lin Ruoxin quickly knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please wait a little longer. Perhaps the time for the medicine to take effect is not long enough!"

Emperor Sheng An pressed her, "How long do we have to wait? One or two days, or half a year? I shouldn't have trusted you, you idiot! Someone, drag her away and give her fifty lashes with the cane. Then arrest her family, tie them all up and chop off their heads on the scaffold. You dare to deceive the emperor! Your crime is heinous!"

Lin Ruoxin widened her eyes in shock. She never expected that the emperor would actually chop off her head?

How could it be her fault?

The medicine made by Lin Yiwan is obviously ineffective!

She said anxiously, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. These pills were made by Lin Yiwan. If you want to punish the crime of deceiving the emperor, you should also punish her!"

Emperor Sheng An raised his hand and slammed the tea bowl in front of her: "You are about to die, and you still dare to falsely accuse others. This pill came from your hand, so how can it be said that Lin Yiwan did it?"

Lin Ruoxin had a hard time expressing her grievances. Could she say that she sent people to steal it?

She doesn't dare!

If she doesn't tell him, she will be executed again!

How can this be good?

Just when she was in a dilemma, Emperor Sheng An didn't wait for her, but waved his hand to the imperial guards to drag her away and give her a beating.

She could only say tearfully, "It was my fault. I had someone steal her medicine. I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to take some credit for curing the little princes. If my great-uncle could take us in, how could I have taken such a risk?"

Emperor Sheng An was shocked all over. He had been the emperor for more than ten years, and today he finally opened his eyes. There were actually people who were so shameless.

It is obvious that he is greedy and despicable, but instead he blames everything on others. The existence of such people in the world is an insult to justice.

He didn't hesitate at all and spoke directly: "Stop her mouth, and after beating her with the stick, quickly capture her family and chop off their heads together. If you delay for a moment, you will all be punished!"

Lin Ruoxin was so frightened that tears and snot were streaming down her face. She couldn't let her head be chopped off!

She immediately looked at Lin Yiwan: "Sister, save me, I am your biological sister, you can't just stand by and watch me die, please plead for me. Besides, this crime should have fallen on your head. It was clearly your medicine that didn't work, why should I die in your place?"

Lin Yiwan reached out and lifted her chin and asked, "How do you know the medicine didn't work?"

Lin Ruoxin stammered, "Because the mist in the little princes' eyes hasn't dissipated at all!"

Lin Yiwan said calmly, "The reason it hasn't dissipated is because it's still one step away. It needs to be cut open with a knife. The medicine only has one effect, which is to make them lose their sense of pain!"

Lin Ruoxin froze all over. It was only then that she realized that she had been dragged into a trap.

Lin Yiwan was deliberately plotting against her and wanted to kill her entire family!

She angrily accused: "You vicious woman, you are so cruel, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Lin Yiwan argued innocently, "It's obviously you who have bad intentions. If you couldn't come up with the idea of ​​stealing the medicine, how could I drag your whole family into this fire pit?"

Lin Ruoxin tried to grab her face, but was dragged away by the Royal Guards.

A moment later, the sound of hitting the board was heard outside.

Accompanied by Lin Ruoxin's shrill howls, Lin Yiwan quickly used her knife skills to gently cut through the layer of white mist outside the eyes of the two little princes.

When the queen saw their eyes regain their crystal clearness, she almost cried with joy.

She covered her face with her hands and said, "Wanwan, thanks to you, otherwise, my sons' eyes would be ruined!"

Lin Yiwan smiled comfortingly: "With me here, everything is fine!"

Just one sentence moved Emperor Sheng'an and the Empress deeply.

Compared to his gratitude towards her, he was even more angry at Lin Ruoxin's meanness.

Emperor Sheng An did not stop for a moment and ordered people to arrest the second wife's mother and son.

At this time, the old lady was pacing back and forth at the gate of the small courtyard. She muttered to herself, "It's been so long since I left, why hasn't the palace sent back the reward yet?"

At this moment, Lin Huanchen walked up to her with someone in a shaky manner and asked with a thick tongue, "Mom, mom, is there still no news about Xin'er?"

The old lady immediately reached out to support him: "Are you going out to drink and have fun again? Where did you get the money?"

Before Lin Huanchen could say anything, the person following him spoke up, "He has no money, so he's buying on credit. He said he'll pay the brothel after the mansion receives the reward from the noble. Look, the lady boss sent me over to collect it!"

The old lady was almost furious. This troublesome son dared to go out and buy things on credit before the reward was even started. He was really capable.

She raised her hand and pinched Lin Huanchen hard, making him scream in pain.

He complained dissatisfiedly: "Mom, I am your biological son, why are you so harsh? Isn't it just a debt? When our Xin'er receives a reward from the noble, our status will rise sharply. Not only can we have a feast, but we can even buy out the entire brothel! It will be more than enough!"

The old lady immediately covered his mouth and said, "Grandfather, I'm calling you Grandfather, can you please stop talking? There's no news about Xin'er yet, how can you be so sure there will be a reward!"

Lin Huanchen blinked proudly, "Mom, I've heard that my uncle's granddaughter's medical books are quite impressive. The pills she makes are priceless, so Xin'er stole her medicine. It was the wisest choice. There's only success, no failure. Just wait, our family will enjoy happiness together!"

The old lady immediately broke into a smile, as these words really touched her heart.

You know what, just as he finished speaking, he saw a lot of royal guards marching towards this side in a line, and behind them was a cage that seemed to be covering some valuables.

The old lady's eyes lit up, and she immediately raised her hand to straighten her hair and said, "Here it is! The nobleman has really sent a reward. Huanchen, quickly help your mother kowtow and accept the reward!"
