She looked at Emperor Sheng An with tears in her eyes: "Your Majesty, what should I do? One pregnancy is so dangerous, let alone twins. My poor sister!"

Emperor Sheng An gripped her wrist firmly and soothed her: "Let Imperial Physician Lin decide. He will choose the method that is most beneficial to Madam Ye!"

At this time, Imperial Concubine Zhan had sent someone to Zhan Yan and whispered, "My Lord, our Imperial Concubine invites you to come over and speak!"

Zhan Yan raised his eyes to glance at the graceful woman, then walked over slowly.

Concubine Zhan stared at him with a frown, "Brother, quickly find a reason to call Lin Yiwan out of the carriage and tell her to stop interfering in the Ye family's affairs!"

Zhan Yan was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Concubine Zhan bit her lip. "My brother still can't guess what I mean. If anything goes wrong with Madam Ye, Lin Yiwan will be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences. She will bring trouble to our Zhan family!"

Zhan Yan remained silent, so she continued, "You've already offended the King of Loyalty and Bravery and seized command of his palace troops. Now his daughter is here, and I'm afraid she'll take advantage of the situation and slander our Zhan family for causing Madam Ye's death and three deaths!"

Zhan Yan said with a cold expression: "Do you think the emperor is blind? Or is he deaf? He can't distinguish right from wrong?"

Concubine Zhan's eyes were red with anxiety: "Brother, I am doing this for the Zhan family. I can clearly protect myself, but why do you insist on getting yourself into trouble? Even if the emperor believes Lin Yiwan, he can't stop the gossip outside!"

Zhan Yan quickly interrupted, "Wanwan is my wife. I will protect her. As for those rumors outside, they haven't happened yet, right? Your Majesty, why bother worrying about this?"

After saying that, he left quickly, without paying any attention to Concubine Zhan's delicate and pretty face which had become hideous and distorted.

The maid Xia Zhi said, "Your Majesty, why is the Marquis so stubborn? He doesn't care about your situation in the palace at all. The Ye family is the Queen's support. If he really saves Madam Ye, what good will it do you?"

Imperial Concubine Zhan tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, muttering through gritted teeth, "It's all that bitch's fault. She insisted on being so stubborn. What does Madam Ye's life or death have to do with her? Why is she meddling in other people's business?"

Xia Zhi advised softly, "Your Majesty, calm down. Twin births are inherently difficult. Didn't the most favored concubine in the palace before end up with three dead bodies? There's no way she can be saved. You don't need to worry too much!"

Concubine Zhan snorted coldly, "I know she won't survive. I'm just worried that she'll ruin the reputation of the Marquisate and earn the hatred of the loyal officials and generals in the court. How will I gain their support when I give birth to a child in the future?"

Xia Zhi took a complicated look at her flat belly and thought, My Queen, you should wait until you have a child!

She had been in the palace for three years without giving birth. Due to the friendship between Zhan Yan and the emperor, she had received a lot of favors, but there was no movement.

It's almost become a joke in the harem!

Concubine Zhan's fierce eyes fell on the emperor and empress standing side by side, and she secretly vowed that she would eventually replace that position.

Doctor Lin had already made his decision: "Wanwan, since a natural birth isn't possible, then we'll use a cesarean section. Do you remember that picture book I showed you earlier? Follow the instructions!"

The Queen couldn't stand it any longer, so she quickly said, "I'll go in and accompany her. If there's any unexpected situation, I can take charge!"

Emperor Sheng An did not stop her and let her return to the carriage.

Lin Yiwan took out a sharp dagger, disinfected it carefully, and said, "Mrs. Ye, your condition is critical. In order for the children to be born safely, a cesarean section is necessary. Do you agree?"

Before Madam Ye could say anything, the maid spoke first: "Does a cesarean section involve cutting flesh with a knife? Will it leave scars on our Madam's body?"

The Queen quickly interrupted, "What's wrong with leaving a scar? Compared to life, appearance is nothing. If my sister wants to remarry in the future, the man must be able to accept all her flaws before he is worthy of entrusting her life to her!"

Lin Yiwan glanced at the queen in surprise, thinking that this dignified woman in front of her was truly open-minded.

She did not use the Ye family to tie Madam Ye down, nor did she care about her own reputation. She really did not want to restrain her sister and make her happy.

In his previous life, such a good person died as a result of Concubine Zhan's scheme. It is said that his body stayed in the cold palace for more than a month without being discovered. When it was carried out, it was already smelly.

She quickly gathered her thoughts and slashed the sharp dagger towards Mrs. Ye's abdomen without hesitation.

Blood gushed out from the wound, shocking the maid to the point of shouting, "Blood, so much blood!"

Princess Xinya, who was outside, heard this and said with a pale face, "Uncle Emperor, are you just going to watch Madam Ye die at Lin Yiwan's hands? If anything goes wrong with her, aren't you afraid that those loyal ministers and generals will be disheartened?"

Originally, the place where they were staying was the official road for court officials to leave the palace. After seeing the carriage rushing in, all the officials spontaneously stayed in place.

They were also listening to the news and paying close attention to Mrs. Ye's situation in the carriage.

Now there were continuous shrill cries coming out, which really scared them.

One of the old imperial censors, who was on good terms with the Duke of the Protectorate, walked out quickly and said, "Your Majesty, how could you be so careless as to allow an unknown young woman to save the last surviving bloodline of the Duke of the Protectorate? If Madam Ye does anything wrong, it wouldn't matter if she sacrificed her own life, but it would damage your reputation among the soldiers!"

Zhan Yan's face suddenly turned ugly. What did he mean by "it's okay if she sacrifices her life for his own? His wife's life is not her life?"

This old man, did he give him face? He dared to publicly accuse his wife, Zhan Yan?

Without further hesitation, he kicked a small stone and hit the old censor directly on the knee.

"Bang!" He fell to the ground with his mouth bitten, breaking several teeth.

When he spoke again, he let out a leak: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Marquis Zhan Yi has gone too far. He actually murdered this old minister in public!"

Emperor Sheng An thought to himself, you said that his wife paid with her life, so what if he made you fall?

You deserve it. You could have provoked anyone else, but you had to provoke this evil spirit!

He quickly said, "Come here, quickly treat the old censor!"

The old censor shook his head stubbornly. He struggled to his feet, his lips trembling like a sieve. He gritted his teeth and said, "Huang Sang, it's not a pity for me to die, but Lin Yiwan is about to kill Madam Ye. You must deal with her quickly and save the bloodline of the Protector of the Country!"

Zhan Yan raised his eyebrows sarcastically: "Save? Who will save you? Do you want the emperor to save you personally? Or, old censor, can you save you?"

The old censor's face turned pale and ugly. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from his lips and said, "Marquis Zhan Yi, don't be so arrogant. I don't know any medical skills, how can I help?"
