Ling'er looked at her in shock: "Madam, are you hungry again?"

Lin Yiwan's face flushed instantly. She interrupted without hesitation: "Look at your tone, it's like I can eat a lot!"

Ling'er counted on her fingers seriously: "But you did eat a lot. For dinner, you had three steamed dumplings, a bowl of osmanthus porridge, two sugar cakes, and more!"

Lin Yiwan covered her mouth directly: "Stop, didn't I make a lot of pills before going to bed? I guess I haven't digested them yet, okay?"

Ling'er rolled her eyes and said, "Madam, shall I go to the kitchen and make you a bowl of shredded chicken noodles?"

Lin Yiwan quickly stood up and said, "Let's go to the front yard to see if the Marquis is asleep. We can also bring him a bowl. He handles household chores during the day and official duties at night. He must be very tired!"

Ling'er was afraid that she would be cold, so she took a cloak and wrapped her up completely.

Lin Yiwan laughed, "You little girl, are you planning to wrap your wife up like a dumpling? Others wear the thinner the better when they go to see their husbands, but you're actually doing the opposite!"

Ling'er argued without even looking up: "Others are just trying to get favors, but our Marquis doesn't even need his wife to invite him. He automatically throws his whole heart and eyes on you!"

Lin Yiwan immediately understood that this little girl was satisfied with the battle with Yan.

Yes, except that he couldn't do the things that a normal couple would do, he was really good to her in other aspects.

Indulge her in everything!

Even if he saw through her intentional plot against Zhan Yu, he would still turn a blind eye!

He can really be trusted for life!

Lin Yiwan followed her out, and when she passed the back garden, she saw a black shadow flash by.

Ling'er was startled and subconsciously wanted to call for help.

Lin Yiwan reacted quickly, covering her mouth with one hand and shaking her head vigorously at her.

The two men tiptoed behind the man in black and saw him carrying a sack and throwing it into the woodshed, then he turned around and disappeared.

After making sure there was no danger around, Ling'er said in shock, "Madam, what's in that sack? It's sneaking around in the middle of the night, so it must be something bad. Let's report it to the Marquis!"

Lin Yiwan stopped her: "What if it's a false alarm? It looks like a person to me. The backyard is quite far from the front yard. It would take too much time to go back and forth. Let's go take a look first, then make plans!"

Ling'er naturally obeyed her decision and pushed open the door of the woodshed.

Under the moonlight, the things in the sack were turning into cricket pupae one by one.

Ling'er was so scared that her face turned pale, but she forced herself to stand in front of Lin Yiwan, fearing that she would be hurt.

Lin Yiwan did not hesitate and took out the silver needle and inserted it into the vital point of his spine through the sack with steady accuracy.

After a moment, the sack stopped moving.

Ling'er asked in a trembling voice, "Madam, you didn't stab him to death, did you?"

Lin Yiwan shook her head: "No, I'm being careful. Go and untie the bag, and let's see who he is!"

Ling'er was obviously scared to death, but she obediently walked forward quickly and reached out to untie the sack with trembling hands.

Lin Yiwan couldn't help laughing: "You have to believe in my acupuncture skills, he can't move at all."

Ling'er nodded hurriedly: "Slave, slave believes it!"

He said he believed it, but his hands were still shaking uncontrollably.

Lin Yiwan couldn't bear to watch it anymore and pulled the sack open with force.

In a flash, Ling'er subconsciously closed her eyes, stood in front of Lin Yiwan, and shouted, "Whoever dares to hurt my wife will be beaten to death first!"

The air was frozen for a moment. Ling'er quickly opened her left eye and met Zi'er's contemptuous gaze: "Stupid!"

Seeing Zi'er, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Where have you been? You didn't show up at the critical moment, and my wife and I were almost scared to death!"

Lin Yiwan reached out and tugged at her arm: "You're the one who's scared, not me!"

Zi'er glared at the embarrassed Ling'er before speaking, "This man must be a spy sent by the Loyal and Brave King to frame the Marquis. I'll find a place to hide him right away!"

Lin Yiwan's eyes lit up: "Spy? From Li Country?"

She reached out and randomly touched the man a few times, and sure enough, she found a secret letter.

She quickly opened it and saw a line of large characters written on it: "My Lord, the King has received the defense map of the capital you sent. He is very satisfied and will send his assassins to assassinate the Emperor as soon as possible!"

Lin Yiwan was horrified. Just based on this letter, no matter whether it was true or false, the emperor could wipe out the entire Zhan family.

Even though Zhan Yan had made great military achievements, even though he saved the emperor's life!

Collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime that harms the country and the people!

Lin Yiwan didn't hesitate any longer and quickly took the fire starter to burn the secret letter.

She said coldly, "Zi'er, carry this man into my courtyard quickly. Since the loyal and brave prince sent the spy here, he certainly won't give us time to deal with him. If I'm not mistaken, he has already brought people to block the gate of the mansion!"

Zi'er nodded, quickly carried the person and ran straight to the main courtyard.

Almost as soon as I put him down, the front yard started to get noisy.

At this time, at the gate of the Marquis's mansion, King Zhongyong sat on a tall horse with a stern expression. He said in a deep voice, "Marquis Zhan Yi, the emperor has received a secret letter reporting that you are colluding with spies from the Kingdom of Li. Please open the gate of the Marquis's mansion and let the guards in to search it!"

Zhan Yan's sharp eyes flashed, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips in a moment.

He sarcastically said, "Lord Zhongyong, you want to search my residence without any evidence. Do you think I am made of clay? Can you twist and turn me?"

King Zhongyong raised his chin proudly: "I guessed you would have such an attitude, so I specially requested the emperor's order to come here!"

He immediately ordered: "General Li Youde, read the order!"

A dashing man in armor quickly walked up to Zhan Yan and said, "My Lord, the Emperor has indeed issued an order. Please kneel down and listen!"

Zhan Yan nodded: "Read it!"

Li Youde immediately cleared his throat and said, "I have received reports that Marquis Zhan Yi is harboring spies and collaborating with the enemy of Li State. To quell speculation and give an explanation to the court and the royal family, I have specifically ordered Li Youde to search the palace. If the slander is proven, the loyal and brave prince involved in this matter will be fined for six months, and the palace guards will be withdrawn and placed under the command of Marquis Zhan Yi!"

After hearing this, King Zhongyong was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.

He angrily questioned: "Li Youde, when we were in the palace, the emperor clearly didn't say that!"

Li Youde replied respectfully, "The Emperor did not say that, but the decree states so. If Your Highness does not believe it, you can go to the palace and ask the Emperor. I can wait for a moment!"

The pupils of the loyal and brave king's qi contracted violently. No, he couldn't enter the palace at the critical moment. When he came out again, the cunning Zhan Yan might have discovered the clues and cleaned up the mess.

First go in and search the mansion, and once Zhan Yan’s guilt is confirmed, everything will be insignificant!

He urged without hesitation: "Why are you still hesitating? Since Marquis Zhan Yi has already heard the imperial decree, why don't you quickly open the gates of your mansion and welcome the Imperial Guards to search it?"
