Chapter 1004 Resurrection
Chapter 1004 Resurrection
Nangong Yuan nodded heavily: "Yes, I saw it clearly, the Marquis's wife is really capable, she brought my grandmother back to life!"
The King of Jiaodong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he came back in time, otherwise, he would have been trapped in the capital to observe mourning for the next three years.
At this time, Lin Yiwan had already begun to detoxify the old princess. Although the process was very difficult, fortunately the effect was significant.
She saw that the old princess's complexion gradually returned to its rosy color, and the blood that kept flowing from her fingertips began to turn into normal color.
Another hour passed and the old princess slowly woke up.
When she saw Lin Yiwan, a variety of complex emotions flashed across her face.
Finally, she spoke in a hoarse voice: "Madam Hou, thank you for saving my life!"
Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "You don't have to thank me. I didn't save you in vain. In exchange for your life, your son handed over the jurisdiction of Jiaodong Island!"
The old princess' eyes widened in shock. "What did you say? Why did he hand over Jiaodong Island? Madam Hou, you can't take advantage of someone's misfortune. This Jiaodong Island was conquered by my husband back then. It was just a small fishing island back then. It was built up through the hard work of him and my son. How can you just take it away like that?"
Lin Yiwan was not angry, because she knew very well that in the eyes of the King of Jiaodong and the old princess, Jiaodong Island had already been taken for themselves!
In fact, it doesn't matter. It's just that they shouldn't have secretly colluded with Gao Youguo and deceived the Sheng Dynasty royal family like fools.
Especially since Princess Youyi has already obtained the fat piece of meat in Yintan, it must not fall into the hands of ambitious people.
She spoke without hesitation, "All under heaven belongs to the king. The court will reward the old King of Jiaodong for his contributions. The old princess should know this better than anyone else. If your son's private dealings with Lord Gao were to be exposed, I'm afraid your entire Nangong clan would be completely destroyed, right?"
The old princess was in great turmoil. Did Lin Yiwan really know about it, or was she deliberately deceiving her?
Lin Yiwan saw her guilty expression clearly and spoke slowly, "The new emperor is merciful. Considering the Nangong family's contributions in bringing abundant seafood to the court and broadening the horizons of the people in the capital, he will forgive you for your past mistakes!"
The old princess was terrified when she heard this. She asked in a trembling voice, "So we have to stay in the capital in the future?"
Lin Yiwan nodded: "Yes, the Prince of Jiaodong can live a wealthy and idle life. As for you, my old princess, you won't have to travel back and forth anymore. Just thinking about the days ahead is beautiful!"
A bitter taste welled up in the old princess' throat. She was buried in the earth up to her neck, so naturally it didn't matter to her. But her son was very satisfied and was thinking about Jiaodong Island.
Can he stay willingly?
She didn't dare to think about it!
Seeing that the old princess was no longer in danger of death, Lin Yiwan packed up her medicine box and stood up to say goodbye.
The King of Jiaodong thanked her, but she said in a distant tone: "King of Jiaodong, be prepared. Someone will come to hand over the affairs of Jiaodong Island to you in the next two days!"
The smile on King Jiaodong's face froze, replaced by an undisguised, fierce hatred.
He will never hand over Jiaodong Island easily, so let's wait and see!
Lin Yiwan did not return to Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion, but went into the palace to meet Prince Li and the new emperor Xiao Ling.
It just so happened that Zhan Yan was there too, and the three of them had already started discussing the issue of who would take over Jiaodong Island.
Lin Yiwan spoke first: "Have you asked Youyi? What does she think of Mo Lingyue?"
Prince Li sighed helplessly, "She refused to marry. She said that the more Mo Ling was forced, the more she didn't want to force him. The matter is now at a standstill!"
Lin Yiwan could understand Princess Youyi's stubbornness. Originally, Mo Lingyue had really put all his thoughts on Lin Xiaoruan.
Xiao Ling tentatively suggested, "Aunt Wan, can you go and persuade her? She listens to you the most!"
Seeing the expectant looks from her father and Xiao Ling, Lin Yiwan had no choice but to agree: "Then I'll try, but I won't force Youyi!"
The two hurriedly urged: "Okay, hurry to her princess palace!"
When Lin Yiwan arrived at the princess's palace, she saw Youyi sitting lazily on the swing, swinging back and forth.
In just a few days, the little girl had lost a lot of weight.
It has to be said that the incident had a huge impact on her.
She was the first to speak: "Youyi? The sun is so strong today, why are you still basking outside the palace?"
When she heard her voice, a bright light flashed across Princess Youyi's little face.
She stood up with a smile: "Aunt Wan, how come you have time to come to the palace?"
Lin Yiwan held her hand and walked into the palace. She saw the wet nurse beside her walk out quickly and said, "Madam, you're finally here. Please try to comfort the princess. She hasn't been eating or drinking lately, and we are worried sick. We're afraid something bad might happen to her!"
Princess Youyi couldn't help but frown and scolded: "Mammy, you are talking too much!"
The nurse knelt down with a thud and said, "Even if Your Highness blames me, I will tell the Marquis's wife. I don't want to see you so depressed. I feel sorry for you!"
Princess Youyi said helplessly: "Get up quickly, I'm fine. I'm not always like this, I just have a poor appetite!"
Lin Yiwan said, "That's perfect. Let me take your pulse!"
As the two entered the inner hall, Princess Youyi handed her wrist to Lin Yiwan.
After a moment of silence, she cautiously asked, "Aunt Wan, I think I'm okay, right?"
Lin Yiwan didn't answer but asked, "Where do you mean there's trouble?"
Princess Youyi blushed, and subconsciously reached out to touch her very flat belly and murmured, "Is she pregnant?"
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of her head: "How can it be so fast? It will take at least a month before the pulse can show up!"
Princess Youyi frowned: "But my period was delayed by five days this month, and Madam remembered it clearly!"
Lin Yiwan carefully took her pulse again, but still found no signs of pregnancy.
But she didn't dare to be careless. She gently warned: "Maybe it's because the days are short, but you have to be careful in the next few days. Don't move around carelessly, and don't eat carelessly anymore. Do you understand?"
Princess Youyi is very shy. Even when facing her most caring Aunt Wan, her face still turns red with shyness.
She nodded gently: "Well, I will pay attention!"
Lin Yiwan then asked her what her plans were. She frowned and said, "If she's really pregnant, the identity of the child's father will probably cause a lot of speculation. Have you thought about it?"
Princess Youyi bit her lips hard, her eyes filled with struggle.
Lin Yiwan said distressedly: "Youyi, you are our precious baby, just tell us what you think, your aunt and uncle will make the decision for you!"
