Chapter 275 The eldest brother's plan
Yan Wan didn’t care whether Xiao Dengzi believed it or not. She just wanted him to know what she could do.
The little stool had a face full of despair, and finally nodded with tears on his face: "Okay! If I have done what you asked, but you still hurt the person I care about the most, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Yan Wan said calmly, "I will not waste my credit on a small character like you. As long as you die hard enough, I will only take your life."
Xiao Dengzi took a deep breath, his face full of cruelty: "Okay!... Since you already know who I belong to, and you have caught me stealing the drugs, then you don't have to watch what happens next!
Just remember that you were in a hurry to see Concubine Xian, but you found me sneaking around, so you hurriedly asked someone to arrest me and bring me to this corner room, and then come back to interrogate me after the matter with Concubine Xian is settled!"
When Yan Wan heard this, a complete inference instantly appeared in her mind.
She was surprised and said, "Concubine Xian was bleeding, and it was actually done by the eldest prince."
Xiaodiaozi looked at her in surprise and said with a wry smile, "Sure enough, when the eldest prince sent me to you, he told me to be careful and cautious. He was right about you. You are really too smart and too scary."
Yan Wan understood what he meant and narrowed her eyes slightly: "From what you said, the eldest prince originally wanted to cooperate with me."
Xiao Dengzi stopped talking. Although he had already said a lot of things, just a casual sigh from him was enough to make Yan Wan guess so much. Even though he was a dying man, he still felt uneasy.
He pursed his lips and stopped talking. Yan Wan didn't need him to say anything else. She had already guessed most of what was going on after hearing this. With a calm expression, she went to the warehouse and picked out a ginseng with good appearance but the worst medicinal effect. She asked Lan Cui to take it and then went to Yikun Palace.
Unexpectedly, when she arrived at the gate of Yikun Palace, she was stopped by Hailan and Ling Yunche.
Ling Yunche said in a deep voice: "Her Royal Highness Xianpin is currently at the most critical stage of her treatment. I'm afraid it's not convenient for Her Royal Highness to visit her."
Hai Lan obviously wanted to say something impolite, but seeing Yan Wan's cold expression, she didn't dare to for some reason. She just said with a straight face: "The emperor has already promised my sister... Concubine Xian, the Yikun Palace will not entertain Concubine Ling tonight, please go back, Concubine Ling."
Yan Wan squinted her eyes and looked at the two of them. She had a strange intuition in her heart - she had a feeling that the crisis tonight was very serious, and it was far more than just the action of placing the sleeping pills on the small stool.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Since you said it was the Emperor's order, I will have to verify it with the Emperor. If you dare to falsely convey the Emperor's order, I will not only kill all nine clans of yours, but I will not be able to sleep peacefully at night."
Hailan was so angry that she was shaking all over: "Why are you still so vicious? I really should have ..."
This was the first time that Ling Yunche faced Hai Lan's malicious feelings towards Yan Wan. It was also the first time that he realized so clearly that her bad words about Yan Wan were a deliberate conspiracy.
He tried to interrupt Hailan, but Hailan insisted on continuing, so he simply grabbed Hailan's wrist with such force that he could almost crush her wrist: "Aruo, you are just a humble maid in Xinzheku, you have nothing to do with the high and mighty imperial concubine!"
Hai Lan groaned in pain, tears falling from her eyes. She wanted to get angry, but seeing Ling Yunche's eyes full of cruelty, she knew he was really angry, so she gritted her teeth and stopped.
Ling Yunche lowered his eyes and said, "The Emperor did ask the Imperial Concubine to go back to the palace to rest first, and told you not to worry about Concubine Xian. You will hear the report tomorrow whether there is anything wrong."
Yan Wan listened to what Hongli said, and glanced at Hai Lan, smiling: "Not only do you look like that criminal, but you are also good at making up lies and spreading rumors just like that criminal. Come here."
Hai Lan stared at her warily: "The Concubine Xian is in great danger now, are you still planning to take advantage of her misfortune and bully the people in her palace?"
Yan Wan said calmly, "I even beat your master, so why can't I beat you, a servant? Lan Cui, slap her face for me, so that she will remember the consequences of spreading rumors!"
What Hai Lan feared most now was being slapped, and she subconsciously wanted to run away, but Lan Cui had already stepped forward quickly and grabbed her collar.
Although Lan Cui looks thin and slender, she is very ruthless when it comes to fighting. She slaps Hai Lan six times with all her strength, attacking with both hands without caring about her image at all.
Hai Lan screamed in pain and wanted to run away but couldn't. After struggling for a long time, she finally pulled Ling Yunche to use his force and escaped from Lan Cui's hands.
"You guys, you're going too far!"
She cried and shouted as if she had suffered a great injustice.
"You want to force Concubine Xian and her son to death!"
The farce at the gate of the courtyard finally alarmed the people in the house, but the person who came out was not the emperor, but the eldest prince Yonghuang.
Yonghuang came out with a frown on his face. Seeing Hailan crying and Ling Yunche's clothes torn, he immediately said sternly, "It turned out to be Concubine Ling. What's wrong? Didn't you hear the Emperor's order?"
Yan Wan looked at his expression carefully. In addition to anger and murderous intent, there was also a hint of subtle calculation.
She said calmly, "So it's the eldest prince. Is this the rule for the eldest prince to talk to his stepmother? Are you asking so many questions?"
Yonghuang looked arrogant: "I am the eldest son of the Emperor's father, so I am naturally different from other princes. I will not forget my biological mother and adoptive mother after meeting Concubine Ling, and only care about clinging to power."
Yan Wan was amused: "Why does the eldest prince say this about himself? I will not allow the eldest prince to be so self-deprecating!"
Yonghuang: “…”
He said coldly: "Concubine Ling, do you really need the Emperor to come out and chase you away in person, so that you can have face?"
Yan Wan smiled and said, "You want me to go back so quickly?"
Yonghuang's face was cold and hard: "Please!"
Yan Wan smiled and said, "Then I will leave?"
Yonghuang: "Please, Concubine Ling!"
As expected, Yan Wan turned around and walked back, but after taking two steps she suddenly looked back and happened to see a fleeting look of pride on Yong Huang's face.
Seeing her stop, Yonghuang's voice inevitably became a little impatient: "What happened to Concubine Ling?"
Yan Wan smiled, "I want to remind you, Big Brother, that even if you are the eldest son of the Emperor, as long as the Emperor is alive, you have no right to go beyond the Emperor's authority. This servant falsely conveyed the imperial edict and made up the Emperor's words, and you defended him like this... I will report this to the Emperor."
After saying this, he admired Yonghuang's ugly expression for a while and then walked away leisurely.
Lan Cui looked back and said softly, "The eldest brother has been standing at the door staring at you."
Yan Wan chuckled: "He may not be very capable, but he is very arrogant. Let him see. He should fantasize more about the scene of success. Then, when he dies in the future, he will have more beautiful and colorful dreams!"
