Zhan Yan then narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Sheng An felt that it was not easy to hear him say these four words. The Queen was really bored and dared to provoke him and Wanwan.

It was almost dusk when Zhan Yan came out of the palace.

He first went to the pastry shop and bought Lin Yiwan's favorite snacks, and then went back to Li Wangfu.

When he entered the backyard, he saw Lin Yiwan swinging on the swing with little Miaomiao in her arms.

The unrestrained laughter of the two, one big and one small, is so beautiful.

Little Miaomiao was the sharpest-eyed. As soon as she saw Zhan Yan, she shouted, "Daddy, Daddy is back!"

Zhan Yan walked forward, picked her up, and gently kissed her soft little face.

Little Miaomiao laughed even more happily, lowered his little head and snuggled into his arms.

Zhan Yan looked at Lin Yiwan, only to see that her eyes were gentle and her pretty face was full of smiles.

He couldn't help but ask: "Why don't you ask me why I came back so late?"

Lin Yiwan glared at him and said, "The Chu family was arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice. Do you think I don't know that this was all arranged by you?"

Zhan Yan sneered, "They deserve it. Who told them to obey the Queen's orders and send Cheng Lingzhi to me?"

Lin Yiwan winked at the nanny, and she quickly stepped forward and took the tired little kitten away.

All the maids and nannies around them tactfully left, leaving only the couple to talk.

Zhan Yan helped her push the swing, his movements gentle and careful.

Lin Yiwan said with a complicated expression, "After this, the Queen will probably be completely furious with us. She will not hold us back if she uses her methods again!"

Zhan Yan nodded: "Well, be careful in everything. She didn't get any advantage this time, and she also lost face. She will definitely not let it go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ling'er outside reporting: "Madam, Master Xiaolin and the young lady are here. They brought the young lady with them and said they have something important to see you about!"

Lin Yiwan quickly took Zhan Yan's hand to get down from the swing and hurried to greet her uncle and his wife.

Sang Qiutang was well taken care of. He was no longer as thin as before. He had a radiant appearance and glowing white skin.

However, there was a hint of sadness hidden between his eyebrows at this moment, which made Lin Yiwan frightened.

She subconsciously asked, "Is Xiaozhen feeling unwell?"

Sang Qiutang quickly shook his head. "Wanwan, it's not that she's unwell. The Empress just sent word that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory calculated that Little Zhen'er is a blessed baby, and her birth chart is very auspicious for the Second Prince. So, they asked the wet nurse to bring her into the palace to accompany the Second Prince!"

Lin Yiwan's face suddenly changed. She never expected that the Queen would set her sights on Xiao Zhen'er.

It was precisely for the purpose of recuperating the Second Prince. Not only would the Emperor not refuse this reason, but even his grandfather would find it particularly difficult.

No wonder she gave so many rewards when Xiaozhen was born.

It turns out that there is such a plan!

She is so mean!

Regardless of whether the second prince’s burns can be cured, once Xiao Zhener enters his palace, it will be difficult for her to get rid of him in this life.

Xiaozhen is still so young, why is her life so carelessly bound?

No, she would never agree!

Zhan Yan's face turned livid with anger. He said coldly, "She really doesn't want to let the Lin family go. When she failed to get a concubine by my side, she set her sights on Xiao Zhen'er!"

Lin Yiwan took a deep breath and said, "Ah Yan, we still underestimated the Queen. She actually planned this move a long time ago. Cheng Lingzhi was just testing her. If it succeeds, it will be a win. If not, then she will leave Xiao Zhen'er and it will be a done deal!"

She paused and continued, "After all, common sense dictates that if we can reject her once, we must never reject her a second time! Even if she tolerates it, those court officials will still be dissatisfied with the Lin family!"

Lin Ran immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He asked in a trembling voice, "Wanwan, don't we have any other options? Little Zhen'er is still so young, how can we send her to the Second Prince's palace? Not only would I be unable to bear it, but your aunt would be very sad too!"

Sang Qiutang gritted his teeth and said, "I'd rather die than be separated from Xiao Zhen'er. If it's really hard to refuse, then I'll take Xiao Zhen'er and run away!"

Lin Yiwan soothed him softly, "It hasn't come to that yet. Let's discuss it later!"

Zhan Yan said worriedly, "The Queen is very cunning. She has already given Xiao Zhen'er the title of Lucky Baby. If we use any tricks again, she will definitely be stigmatized. This will have a great impact on her future. She is trying to force the Lin family into a dead end!"

Lin Yiwan understood very well that if a woman bore a stigma, her fate would be bumpy in this life!

The queen is truly shameless!

She wanted the Lin family to send Xiao Zhen'er to the palace and not disobey the order!

She took a deep breath and said, "Let me think about it, let me think about it carefully!"

She paced back and forth for a few steps, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Xiao Zhen'er must not enter the palace. Let's delay for a few days by saying she has caught a cold. I'll try to get the Queen to revoke her order. I'll go and negotiate terms with her and see what she asks for!"

Lin Ran understood that if you want something, you have to pay for it!

In order to protect Xiaozhener, Lin Yiwan might have to make concessions!

He doesn't want to see such an outcome!

But he really couldn't bear to leave his daughters who were only a few days old. He would rather die for them!

Perhaps sensing Lin Ran's embarrassment and uneasiness, Lin Yiwan softly soothed him, "Don't worry, uncle. The Queen is simply asking for a concubine because she lost face by arranging a marriage for the Marquis. What's the big deal?"

Lin Ran clenched his fists tightly. "I'll go and beg her. Zhen'er is still young. As the queen of the dynasty, how could she be so cruel as to separate a newborn baby from its mother?"

Lin Yiwan stopped him: "Uncle, you can ask for it this time, but not in the future. You must make her give up this idea forever. Believe in me and Zhan Yan, we will never let the Lin family suffer any injustice!"

Lin Ran said distressedly: "But, but you will be wronged!"

Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and chuckled softly: "What grievances can we have? It's just a few more people in the backyard. It will be very lively, right, Ah Yan?"

Zhan Yan said lovingly: "I'll do as you say!"

He didn't care. Lin Yiwan was the head of the Zhan Yihou Mansion, so she could do whatever she wanted.

Lin Yiwan got on the carriage to the palace again. She leaned quietly against the wall of the carriage, thinking carefully about how she and the queen had come to this point?

The Queen felt that her failure to save the Second Prince had caused him to suffer severe physical damage. Even if he could grow up safely, the burns on his face and body would remain with him for the rest of his life.

This kind of hatred and resentment is simply impossible to eliminate. Unless the second prince can recover, otherwise, whenever the queen sees him, the thorn in her heart will hurt unbearably.

After all, the two were like water and fire, and could no longer blend together.
