Qin Zhan sighed deeply and said, "How can it be so easy to be the daughter-in-law of an imperial family? Our Qin family has been away from the court for many years. Do we want to bring them back now?"

Qin Wan heard this without opening her eyes. She frowned and murmured, "Transferred back for what?"

Zhenzhen immediately shouted with joy: "Miss is awake! Miss is awake!"

Qin Zhan and the others immediately gathered around and asked in unison, "How do you feel?"

Zigui reached out to feel the temperature of Qin Wan's forehead, but fearing he might not be able to feel it correctly, he reached into her collar and felt the temperature of the back of her neck. Only then did he look at everyone with joy: "The young lady's fever has subsided!"

Qin Wan stood up with Zhen Zhen's help. Seeing that it was still dark outside, she asked, "What time is it?"

Qin Zhan said, "It will be dawn in just over an hour. How do you feel?"

Qin Wan took two sips of water from Zhenzhen's hand and said with a smile, "Much better. I'm sorry for being unfilial and causing you to worry. By the way, what did you say about being transferred back?"

Qin Zhan said worriedly, "I just entered the palace and asked His Majesty to allow you to keep your hair uncut and enter Xiangguo Temple to practice Buddhism, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince refused and dragged his injured leg to beg you to be his Crown Princess."

Seeing that Qin Wan was not surprised at all, he suddenly became anxious: "You knew about this? You were away these days..."

Thinking of this, Qin Zhan suddenly became furious: "I'm going to the palace to settle accounts with the Crown Prince! How dare he bully you!"

Qin Wan quickly pulled Qin Zhan to her side and whispered softly, "Grandfather, don't worry. He told me that he wants to marry me as the Crown Princess."

"I can't bully you!" Qin Sheng didn't know when he changed into night clothes and grabbed a knife from somewhere: "I'm going to the palace right now and stab him!"

"Father!" Qin Wan said, feeling both amused and helpless. "He didn't bully me. Didn't you see how badly he was injured? With injuries like that, how could he have the energy to bully others?"

Qin Sheng snorted, "He has ulterior motives! When he asked you to go to Shenyang, he had other intentions! This brat set us up and forced you to go! How hateful!"

Qin Zhan nodded and said, "Yes! It's so hateful! Wan'er, we won't marry him!"

Qin Xie was so angry at the father and son that her head hurt. "Are you really going to let Wan'er become a nun? She has endured the Lu family for eight years, and now, in public, she is living alone with the prince and a single woman. If you let her become a nun again, with all the rumors spreading, how can she live?"

The indignant father and son finally calmed down.

Qin Zhan clenched his fists, looked at Qin Wan and asked, "Wan'er, if you don't want to get married, our Qin family will move south! We'll go to southern Xinjiang, to the Qiang people! There must be a place where our Qin family can settle down, away from the capital, away from the Great Zhou, there will be no more rumors."

Qin Wan looked at her grandfather and father, who loved her deeply and only wanted her to be happy. Her eyes suddenly turned red. She said softly, "Grandfather, Father, Mother, I do. From now on, I will walk the road with the Crown Prince."

In her previous life, she was so focused on competing with Bai Wanyi in the Lu family that she didn't notice that her family was implicated, causing the Qin family to suffer a tragic disaster. In the end, her grandfather was accused of colluding with the prince to commit treason, which completely wiped out the already defeated Qin family.

In this life, she will protect the Qin family. Since she was implicated by Xie Qing in the previous life, she will join hands with Xie Qing in this life to push the Qin family to its peak!

The Qin family no longer needs to hide its strength, and every brother and uncle with ideals and ambitions can show their strengths!

The determined light in Qin Wan's eyes made Qin Zhan feel even more distressed. She was carrying the future of the Qin family on her shoulders!

Qin Zhan immediately said in a deep voice: "Okay, then our Qin family will go with you! I will recruit people back to Beijing right away!"

"Grandfather," Qin Wan quickly intervened, "This is a bit too eye-catching. However, this year's Spring Examination will allow the outstanding young men in the clan to showcase their knowledge. As for my third uncle and the other uncles in the clan, I will also find a way to gradually place them. We will take it step by step."

Qin Zhan looked at Qin Wan, who had become much calmer, and was very pleased: "Okay, everything will be done as you say."

"Okay." Qin Wan nodded, then looked at Qin Sheng and said, "Father, you should get some rest soon. Now that the Crown Prince has returned to the court and was discovered with me, there will definitely be a fierce battle in the court. Father, you need to get enough rest so that you can prepare for it."

"Okay, then you should have a good rest too." Qin Sheng left with Qin Zhan.

Qin Xie was worried about her daughter and refused to leave: "Mother is here to protect you."

Qin Wan was also very tired. She forced her eyelids to move closer and looked up at Qin Xie: "Mother, sleep with me."

Qin Xie felt distressed when she saw her daughter trying to stay awake. She was so energetic talking to them just now, but in the blink of an eye, she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. How much suffering had she suffered these days?

She couldn't bear to keep her daughter waiting for long, so she loosened her coat, took off her hairpins and was about to lie down.

Qin Wan lifted her eyelids and glanced at Qin Xie, then closed them weakly, murmuring, "Mother, my hair is loose, it hurts."

Her voice was too soft, and although Qin Xie only heard a few words, she understood what her daughter meant. She said softly, "Mother knows. Go to sleep quickly. I'll let my hair down right away."

Only then did Qin Wan fall asleep peacefully.

Injured people always want to rest early, but there are always some people who cannot rest.

Xie Qing looked at the emperor who sneakily opened the door of his bedroom and looked up at the sky speechlessly: "Father, I am still injured and I need to rest."

"Didn't you get any rest?" The emperor swept away his mysterious and expressionless appearance in front of his ministers. In front of his son Xie Qing, he looked relaxed. He pointed at Xie Qing who was sitting on the couch and still writing furiously. His words were very righteous and shameless.

Xie Qing was extremely helpless: "Didn't my father leave with my mother? Will my mother let you go?"

The emperor lifted his clothes and sat down opposite Xie Qing, reaching for the memorial he had written. "I told her that you brought enough evidence back to Beijing this time. I'm afraid you're going to take action against Lao Wu. Let me take a look."

Xie Qing had no choice but to let him take it and read it. He would have to read it tomorrow anyway. "Your Majesty, your father's reason really makes it hard for your mother to refuse. But, Your Majesty, are you happy watching your sons and ministers fighting?"

The emperor glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said, "I am even more afraid that you brothers will fail in your duties and hand over my Great Zhou to others. You must remember that there are no fathers and sons in the royal family, no brothers in the imperial family, and no emperor in front of the people."

"If one day in the future you need to sacrifice me for the safety of all people, I will be willing to do so. I hope you can do the same."

Xie Qing looked at the emperor, who suddenly had a tall figure, and felt respect in his heart. It was because of this ideal that he would rather be hated by the court officials and work hard to balance the court and the various families.

Xie Qing nodded solemnly and promised: "Don't worry, father. I will definitely put the people of the world before the throne."

"You're wrong."
