Chapter 298 The One Who Made the First Prince Risk His Life
Ah Ran's eyes darkened, and after a long while, he slowly nodded: "Okay."
Lin Wannian stepped forward, patted Ah Ran's hand, and softened her tone: "This woman is the key. There must not be any more mistakes. Do you understand?"
Ah Ran lowered his eyes, hiding the light in them: "I know, you have to be careful."
Lin Wannian nodded, went out, covered half of her face with a veil, and repeatedly confirmed that there was no one around before getting on the donkey cart.
She went to the eldest prince's mansion and met Concubine Lin.
Concubine Lin had just lost her unborn child and was now being targeted by the eldest princess.
In addition to the loss of their child, the Lin family was now being reprimanded by the palace. The eldest prince saw her crying twice and was too lazy to enter her yard again.
The eldest prince valued her fetus the most, thinking that if he could have a boy, it would give him another chess piece and bargaining chip on his way to becoming the crown prince.
But now... she wasn't favored to begin with, and she acted like a resentful woman even after losing her child. How could the eldest prince be willing to come again?
The two masters above her no longer paid attention to her, and the servants below her were all flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak. No one was willing to treat her well anymore.
Even though she was still in confinement after giving birth, Concubine Lin's courtyard was already deserted and no one was willing to serve her properly.
She herself was in tears all day long and had no good days.
When Lin Wannian saw her, she felt that Concubine Lin was in a very bad state.
His face was haggard, and there was a smell of rotten rust in the room.
Except for a few servants who were brought with the dowry, the other servants were all cheating outside and no one was willing to come in to serve.
When Concubine Lin saw Lin Wannian come in, tears kept falling: "Wannian, why are you here?"
"Sister, let me check on you. Are you okay?"
Lin Wannian walked forward, sat down beside the bed, and held Concubine Lin's hand.
After the two chatted for a few sentences, Concubine Lin couldn't help but complain, talking about how heartless the eldest prince was.
Lin Wannian listened, feeling bored. After listening to her for a while, she frowned and said, "Eldest sister, let's not talk about this for now. You have to think of a way to win back the eldest prince's heart."
"Otherwise, if you continue like this and never recover, you will only become a burden to me and the Lin family!"
After listening to Lin Wannian's words, Concubine Lin couldn't help but stop talking.
He immediately looked up at Lin Wannian in shock and astonishment, unable to respond for a long moment: "Wannian, what are you talking about? Who did I become like this for?"
Lin Wannian choked and couldn't help but frowned. She said to Concubine Lin, "Eldest sister, I do this for you and the Lin family, not just for myself."
Who knew she was so fragile that she couldn't even save the baby!
"I've thought about it. Your child wouldn't be gone by chance. Someone must have deliberately passed the news to you."
Lin Wannian said to Concubine Lin, "It's either the Grand Princess or that bitch Ye Nanyan who got involved."
It is not difficult to imagine who the beneficiary is since Concubine Lin lost her child.
"We can't just let this go!"
Seeing the hatred in Lin Wannian's eyes, Concubine Lin couldn't help but sit up straighter on the bed.
Then he reached out and patted Lin Wannian's hand, saying helplessly, "Wannian, forget it. We can't beat them."
Lin Wannian frowned, but saw Concubine Lin's expression become even more serious. "It's not that I want to discourage you, nor do I want to hold you back."
"In our current situation, we can only cultivate our character and ensure our own safety so that we can plan for the future."
Lin Wannian frowned, looking at Concubine Lin like this, and said, "Eldest sister, your child is gone. Don't you want to avenge your child?"
"This was deliberately designed by someone else to make you lose this child!"
Concubine Lin rubbed her belly in bewilderment. "So what? Even the eldest princess doesn't want to associate with us anymore."
"I submitted the letter several times, but the princess rejected it every time."
"Wan Nian, listen to me, otherwise if something happens again... we'll all be doomed together."
Lin Wannian glared at Concubine Lin for a long moment before she couldn't help but say, "Sister, I know there's a woman. Find her and bring her over to the eldest prince."
"If the eldest prince asks you for a reward, you should ask him to do this..."
Lin Wannian leaned close to Concubine Lin's ear and said a few words like this.
Concubine Lin's eyebrows changed, and she looked at Lin Wannian in surprise: "You are... going to make it impossible for Lu Huaiyang and Ye Nanyue to turn things around!"
Lin Wannian sneered, "Since Lu Huaiyang refuses to marry me, I will destroy him as well."
"If this thing succeeds, he will never have a chance to turn things around."
"But... who is the person you are looking for? How can you guarantee that the First Prince will listen to me and be willing to help you and the Second Prince?"
Lin Wannian said, "That person was the eldest prince's savior in his early years. More than that... that woman knows medicine and can cure the eldest prince's illness."
"I know where that person lives. Tell Dad to bring him here within two days and present him to the Crown Prince. I guarantee he will be safe!"
"You...how do you know what disease the eldest prince has?" Concubine Lin looked at Lin Wannian with some surprise, and felt a little uneasy.
At the same time, he looked at Lin Wannian with a hint of doubt and disbelief.
The eldest prince's illness is an extremely private matter.
Every time he went to see a doctor, he didn't dare to ask the imperial physician for help, but instead asked for a "miracle doctor" from the folk.
If she hadn't been married to the eldest prince for so long, she wouldn't have noticed...
She never told anyone, including the Lin family.
How could Lin Wannian know?
"Eldest sister, how did this child come about? And how did the two daughters of the eldest prince come about? Eldest sister should know, right?"
Lin Wannian said calmly, "Don't worry about how I know this. You just need to know that the eldest prince is most concerned about his own illness and his offspring, and that we can help him. That's enough."
Concubine Lin gritted her teeth and nodded solemnly at Lin Wannian: "Okay, since you say so... then I will give it a try."
Concubine Lin reached out and held Lin Wannian's hand tightly.
At this moment, her hands seemed to suddenly regain strength: "Success or failure depends on this one move, Wannian. If you fail again, I won't help you anymore. I'm afraid we have no way out."
Lin Wannian's expression became firm and serious, and she said to Concubine Lin, "Don't worry, elder sister. This time... I will definitely not fail again."
Concubine Lin took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to deliver a letter to Dad right now. The place you mentioned isn't far away, I believe they'll be able to bring the person back within two days."
Lin Wannian nodded. "That woman has an elderly grandfather. You must detain her grandfather at the Lin family so that you can force her to work for you. Remember this!"
Concubine Lin nodded solemnly.
As soon as Lin Wannian left, she immediately sent someone to find Minister Lin and the woman who was the descendant of the miraculous doctor...
