After a pause, she continued, "I respect the Marquis for his dedication to the country and his tireless efforts for the people. He sacrificed his life, shed his blood, and exchanged his scars for the peace of the court. That's why I am willing to stay by your side and serve you!"

King Zhongyong suddenly felt his face burning. Lin Yiwan's words were too vicious. She was really trying to provoke Zhan Yanba.

In the face of his contributions in protecting the country and the people, he, the loyal and brave king of the current dynasty, seems to be a bit of a worthless person.

He angrily scolded, "You are so sharp-tongued. I have not erased Zhan Yan's military achievements. Don't try to confuse me!"

Lin Yiwan raised an eyebrow in mock surprise. "Since the prince didn't erase my master's military achievements, why did he bring up his hidden illness in public? Is exposing his shortcomings in public a way of showing respect?"

"You!" For the first time, King Zhongyong was so angry that he couldn't answer.

Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "Originally, Princess Xinya and I had no grudge against each other, but she repeatedly slandered me in front of others. She hated me as much as if I had dug up her family's ancestral grave. Put yourself in their shoes. If someone bullied your daughter so wantonly, you would probably tear them to pieces right now, right?"

The King of Loyalty and Valor angrily waved his sleeves: "Didn't she apologize to you? What else do you want?"

Lin Yiwan didn't back down. "Just do as my Lord said. As for compensation, I've chosen Black Forest Mountain. It's very close to my 10,000-acre medicinal field, which is my dowry. It will be convenient for me to expand the medicinal garden and benefit the people!"

What a great benefit to the people, it directly slaps the face of King Zhongyong.

Look, you think they are deliberately blackmailing you for compensation, but it is obvious that they are doing this to grow medicine and for the people of the time.

If I don't give it to you, I'm afraid I'll be hated by all the people.

However, Heilinshan really can't give it!

There are unspeakable things hidden in there!

After struggling for a while, he finally softened his expression and said, "Since you want to grow medicine and benefit the people, then I will trade places with you and give you a farm in the suburbs of Beijing as compensation!"

Lin Yiwan shook her head without hesitation. "Since I said I wanted Black Forest Mountain, there's no way I'm going to change my mind. The black soil there is more suitable for growing Forsythia, and the quality is excellent, which will enhance the medicinal effects. Why is King Zhongyong so reluctant to give it up? Is there some unspeakable secret hidden there?"

The reason she said this was that Lin Yiwan suddenly remembered something from her previous life.

When King Zhongyong rebelled, he led 10,000 elite soldiers to attack the palace and captured the emperor with almost no effort.

He was just an idle prince, where did he get ten thousand elite soldiers?

Now that she heard Zhan Yan asking him for Black Forest Mountain, and coupled with his reluctant attitude, she could almost guess that there must be soldiers hiding there.

It would be better to trick him and see if he reveals his true intentions!

After hearing her words, King Chungyong's expression suddenly turned very ugly. He sternly retorted, "Stop talking nonsense! What could I possibly hide in the mountains?"

Zhan Yan didn't hesitate. He grabbed Lin Yiwan's wrist and said, "Since the King of Loyalty and Bravery refuses to compensate, I will take you to the palace to seek justice from the Emperor. He will definitely give us justice!"

King Zhongyong suddenly became anxious. No, he must not go to the emperor!

He has always been diligent in his work and loves the people. In his eyes, as long as it is good for the people, he will help out.

By then, not only would Black Forest Mountain be in danger, but even the long-planned event would be discovered by him.

He quickly spoke up to stop them, "Wait a minute, Lord Zhan Yi. Isn't it just Black Forest Mountain? I'll give it to you. But you have to give me three days. After three days, I'll hand over the deed to Black Forest Mountain to you!"

Zhan Yan nodded: "Okay, then I will wait for the three-day appointment with the King of Loyalty and Bravery!"

King Zhongyong glared at Lin Yiwan fiercely, then turned around and left in a hurry.

After getting on the carriage, he smashed the fine teacups all over the floor.

The staff beside him asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you really going to give Black Forest Mountain to that Madam Yan?"

King Zhongyong's eyes were filled with hatred: "How could it be, Zhan Yan is looking for death!"

The staff couldn't help but ask, "How about a three-day appointment?"

King Zhongyong suddenly clenched his fists and said, "There is no three-day agreement. I will make sure that the Zhan Yi Marquis Mansion disappears from the capital within these three days!"

The staff's eyes flashed, and they immediately understood that the prince was going to fight Yan.

At this time, Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan had also returned to the Marquis' Mansion. After taking a bath, she always felt something was wrong with her body.

She frowned uncomfortably. She had clearly taken the antidote, so could it be that there were still some aftereffects?

She drank several cups of cold tea, but the heat still couldn't dissipate.

Without any further hesitation, she took the quilt and covered herself tightly.

In a daze, Zhan Yan came back from taking a bath.

He sat on the bed and saw Lin Yiwan wrapped tightly in a brocade quilt. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Not only was there no response, but there was even a groan.

Zhan Yan was startled and subconsciously thought that she was sick.

He quickly pulled open the quilt and saw her pretty face, which was incredibly red, and her clothes that were scattered all over the place.

Feeling a slight chill coming, she instinctively threw herself into Zhan Yan's arms: "Husband, I feel uncomfortable!"

It was like a small, boiling stove drilling into his heart, instantly causing Zhan Yan's heart to beat like thunder.

He tried to push her away, but she clung to him even tighter.

Zhan Yan had no choice but to say, "Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Tell me quickly, and I'll let Zi'er carry the Medicine King!"

"No!" She covered his thin lips with her fingers, her sparkling eyes filled with resentment.

The sweet fragrance seeped into Zhan Yan's mind, and the irrepressible desire rose up on his back again.

He swallowed hard and said in a hoarse voice: "But what's the matter with you?"

Could Lin Yiwan say it was the aftereffects of the aphrodisiac? Just let her vent and she'll be fine.

But the man in front of her couldn't help her at all.

She hugged his waist tightly and said, "Zhan Yan, don't say anything. I can bear it for a while and get through it myself!"

She closed her eyes tightly, her eyelashes like butterfly wings still trembling violently.

Zhan Yan finally understood, and he hated that idiot Zhan Yu.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with Zhan Yu, Lin Yiwan's nagging voice came to his ears: "Is it really impossible? Can you let me take a look?"

Zhan Yan was so scared that he almost subconsciously pulled her away.

She felt extremely aggrieved, her watery eyes full of accusations: "Zhan Yan, you are my husband, why can't you let me see? I can even show you!"

She didn't hesitate any longer and pulled open her already messy pajamas with a rustling sound.

Zhan Yan had never seen such a scene before. He felt a surge of hot blood rushing to his head, almost making him faint.
