The next morning, Lin Zan got up refreshed, hid the hidden sword given to her by Jun Beiqi in her clothes, and went to pay a visit to the Queen.
At this moment, many concubines have gathered in the Queen's palace. What is somewhat surprising is that Concubine Qin is also there.
The fact that the Emperor personally issued an edict granting Jun Beiyu marriage last night has now become the focus of discussion among the concubines.
"It's really unpredictable. Who would have thought that Prince Heng would get married earlier than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Who says it's not true? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no mother to protect him, so the Emperor is naturally not concerned about his marriage."
The concubines were chatting and jokingly chatting. Lin Zhan happened to step into the palace and heard what she was saying, which immediately sounded harsh to her ears.
However, after so many years of hard work, Lin Zhan has developed the ability to keep his emotions hidden, and he walked into the palace with a sweet smile.
"Greetings to the Empress, Concubine Qin, and all the concubines." Lin Zan bowed to all the concubines with full courtesy.
Liu Qiuchan's smile became more sincere. She waved at her and asked her to sit next to her. "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I slept very well." Lin Zan immediately replied with a smile.
Concubine Qin raised her lips in disdain. "Speaking of which, Miss Lin has reached the age where it is time to discuss marriage. A man can still wait for a few years, but a woman's youth is fleeting, so she can't wait."
"It just so happens that I have a nephew who is honest and kind, and has a gentle personality. He is a perfect match for Miss Lin. What do you think, Queen?"
The concubines around all showed a strange smile, while Liu Qiuchan, who was sitting at the top, had a gloomy expression.
Listening to Concubine Qin's words, Lin Zhan's eyes flashed for a moment, and he instantly understood who the nephew she was talking about was.
"Concubine Qin, please be careful with your words. After all, Lin Zan is the only sister of the late Empress Lin. How can she marry a fool?" Liu Qiuchan scolded Concubine Qin.
That’s right, the nephew that Concubine Qin mentioned was an idiot, and he was well-known for it in the capital. No daughter from a good family would ever marry an idiot.
"Aren't an idiot and an orphan a perfect match? Besides, Miss Lin has no family background, so she probably can't even afford a decent dowry. Since our Qin family is willing to take her, she should burn incense and pray to Buddha to thank our Qin family."
Concubine Qin continued to insist. Although there was a smile on her face, her words chilled people to the bone.
These words made Liu Qiuchan very angry. She slapped the table and scolded Concubine Qin coldly. "Concubine Qin, you are so presumptuous. Although Zhan'er has no father or brother to protect her, she is still favored by me and the emperor. It is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks here."
After the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became much more solemn.
Lin Zhan's face looked extremely ugly. Thinking of Lin Zhan's original fate, he bit his lip even more.
Lin Zhanjue would not let himself go back to his old ways, so it seemed better for him to leave the palace as soon as possible.
Seeing that Liu Qiuchan was really angry, Concubine Qin snorted coldly and said nothing more.
In order to avoid further conflict, Lin Zan had to say goodbye and leave, then hurried out of the palace, planning to return to Qinglan Courtyard.
At least in Qinglan Courtyard, Lin Zhan can get a moment of peace and quiet.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. Following Lin Zan's instructions, Langya put the medicinal powder into the wells in Prince Heng's mansion.
Lin Zhan also asked Lang Ya to keep an eye on the movements in Prince Heng's mansion. Sure enough, today, Lang Ya brought the news that Lin Zhan wanted to hear.
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" Lin Zan's eyes lit up and he asked Langya.
Langya nodded. "Early this morning, all the doctors from the major medical clinics in Shangjing were quietly invited into the mansion by the steward of Prince Heng's mansion through the back door, and these doctors all entered Prince Heng's room, there is no way they could be wrong."
That means it has been about two hours since those doctors entered Prince Heng's mansion. When Lin Zan heard him say this, he burst into laughter.
"Then there will be nothing wrong. Let's go and save the lifelong happiness of a young girl." Lin Zan said with great heroism, and then brought Langya and Bixia to the palace.
Wang Lanye was a little surprised to learn that Lin Zan came to visit, but she still asked someone to invite her in.
As soon as Lin Zhan stepped into Wang Lanye’s boudoir, he found all kinds of red silks and couldn’t help but curl his lips.
And when Wang Lanye saw Lin Zhan's glance, she shyly hid her half-embroidered red bellyband and wedding dress.
But this could not escape Lin Zhan's sharp eyes, and he said to Wang Lanye seriously, "Sister Wang, do you really want to marry Prince Heng?"
"Sister Lin, what do you mean?" Wang Lanye looked at Lin Zan with confusion.
Lin Zan was too lazy to beat around the bush, so he leaned close to Wang Lanye's ear and whispered a few words.
After she finished speaking, Wang Lanye's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at Lin Zhan in disbelief and said, "Sister Lin, what you said is true."
"Of course it's true, Sister Wang. I'm thinking about your lifelong happiness. And you also know that I once studied medicine with Lord Yuanzheng. There is no way these eyes will be wrong." Lin Zhan pointed to his eyes seriously.
Wang Lanye sat there biting her lip in confusion, and then paced around the room restlessly.
"This matter is of great importance. I need to discuss it with father and mother. If this is true, then I..." Having said this, Wang Lanye paused.
Lin Zhan quickly stepped forward, held her hand, and said earnestly, "Sister Wang, don't be afraid. If you want to cancel the engagement, I can ask the Queen Mother to help. She will never make it difficult for you."
"Thank you, Sister Lin." Wang Lanye looked at Lin Zan with gratitude in her eyes.
After finishing this task, Lin Zhan went shopping on Yong'an Street in a good mood, and casually entered a restaurant, intending to satisfy his stomach first before returning to Qinglan Courtyard.
After Lin Zan left, Wang Lanye hurried to her father's study.
"Lan Ye, what happened? Why do you look so unhappy?" Shangshu Wang was in high spirits at the moment as his daughter was about to marry into the palace and become the principal wife.
Therefore, Shangshu Wang's status in the court also rose rapidly. At this moment, he looked at his daughter, who made him extremely proud, with a smile on his face.
After hesitating for a while, Wang Lanye knelt down in front of her father and said, "Father, I have a request. If I don't get an answer, I will never marry into the palace."
Seeing his daughter's resolute look, Minister Wang was also shocked. He quickly helped Wang Lanye up and asked what had happened.
Wang Lanye's face was filled with sadness and she didn't know where to start for a moment.
