I became a concubine in the palace and cured my master's hidden disease.

Chapter 124: Waking Up and Asking Questions

"Can you believe what you said?" Lin Yan asked in a hoarse voice.

"Ayan, you, you, woke up!" Zhao Yuan's voice trembled with excitement, tears flashing in his eyes. He had waited too long for this moment. However, looking at Lin Yan's eyes, he knew in his heart that her heart was still not with him.

Lin Yan's eyelids trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were confused and sleepy, as if she had just woken up from a long dream. Her voice was a little hoarse and tired: "It's so noisy..." At this moment, even speaking was a heavy burden for her.

Zhao Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud, but his laughter was mixed with bitterness that couldn't be concealed: "Haha, it's good that you woke up." His eyes were full of joy and relief, as if at this moment, all the worries and anxieties were released.

"Dizzy..." Lin Yan said softly. She felt a strong dizziness, as if the whole world was spinning. Her body leaned weakly on Zhao Yuan, trying to find a support point. Zhao Yuan hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid of losing her, and almost rubbed her into his arms. His breathing was rapid and disordered, and his heartbeat was as loud as a drum.

"I'm sorry!" Zhao Yuan realized that his actions were a bit extreme and quickly let go of her hand. "You haven't eaten for a long time. I'll have someone bring you a bowl of porridge right away. You won't feel dizzy after eating it." He carefully helped Lin Yan up and let her sit up slowly.

Zhao Yuan personally fed Lin Yan a bowl of porridge. Lin Yan wanted to drink more, but Zhao Yuan stopped her.

"mean!"

"It's not that I'm stingy, but you just woke up and your spleen and stomach are weak. It's not easy for you to drink too much." Zhao Yuan's voice was soft, with infinite pampering in his eyes.

"Forget it. What you just said still counts!"

"What?" Zhao Yuan pretended to be confused.

"Hmph, I knew it. You're trying to trick me again." Lin Yan sobbed softly with resentment.

Zhao Yuan felt distressed when he saw Lin Yan crying. He stroked her hair gently and said softly, "Yan'er, don't cry. If you keep crying, my heart will be broken."

After hearing what Zhao Yuan said, Lin Yan finally stopped crying, but she still sobbed and said, "Master, you can't go back on your promise to me."

Zhao Yuan nodded quickly and said, "When did I ever break my promise? I was just joking with you just now."

Hearing this, Lin Yan immediately showed a pleasant smile on her face, but soon she frowned again and said worriedly: "Chen Qingqing's miscarriage was really not caused by the medicine I gave her."

"I know!" Zhao Yuan said softly, his eyes firm and gentle, making people feel at ease.

Lin Yan's heavy mood instantly relaxed, and a feeling of touching and warmth surged in her heart. Fortunately, fortunately, although Zhao Yuan was sometimes unreliable, at least at the critical moment, he still trusted her. She bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and decided to make it clear: "Even if the prince knows, it can't stop some people who don't know and want to kill me wholeheartedly!"

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly, as if he understood something. He patted Lin Yan's back gently and comforted her gently, "Don't be afraid. I won't do that again. I won't let anyone hurt you."

"I'm still so scared! I'm powerless and any servant can do this to me..." Lin Yan said aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes as if they would fall at any time.

Zhao Yuan looked at her distressedly, held her hand tightly, and said firmly: "Don't be afraid, Guard Li will be your personal guard from now on, and will always be by your side to protect you."

Lin Yan looked at Zhao Yuan gratefully, tears flashing in her eyes. She nodded gently, leaned in his arms, and felt his warmth. Zhao Yuan began to plan in his heart that he would never let those who had bullied Lin Yan, especially those rough servants who beat Lin Yan, go, and would make them pay the price.

Lin Yan was a little touched, thinking it was a blessing in disguise!

Lin Yan thought for a moment and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, I want to go to the palace to visit Concubine De. Your Majesty, can you help me arrange it?"

Zhao Yuan hesitated for a moment and replied, "You have just recovered, so you should rest at home for a while." He was a little worried that if he let Lin Yan enter the palace, he might be troubled by his mother again.

Lin Yan seemed to see what Zhao Yuan was thinking, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I feel that my body has almost recovered, and I don't want to be in a passive state of being beaten. I believe that the Empress Defei must also want to see me."

Zhao Yuan was filled with bitterness, because he knew his mother's character very well. His mother had always wanted to see Lin Yan, not out of curiosity to see what this daughter-in-law looked like, but simply to get rid of her from the Rui Palace. So when his mother received the anonymous letter, she did not verify its authenticity at all, and immediately sent the palace's housekeeper to the Rui Palace to teach Lin Yan a lesson.

At the same time, Mr. Zhao Si actually stopped Zhao Yuan and told him that a mysterious masked man in black had instructed him to do this. Mr. Zhao Si also said that after he wrote the letter, the man in black gave him five hundred taels of silver, but he knew nothing about other things. And these five hundred taels of silver had been squandered by Mr. Zhao Si.

Finally, the most important clue was provided. The masked man in black who asked him to write the letter had a row of blue and golden brocade flowers embroidered on his cuffs, which seemed to be the key clue to solving the mystery.

Zhao Yuan was excited after hearing this. The last time the batch of silver was lost, there were several masked men in black. They were very skilled in martial arts and had a row of blue gold brocade flowers embroidered on their cuffs.

Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea for Lin Yan to go to the palace. "Okay! I'll submit my invitation to the palace now. Mother, I can't decide whether to see you or not?"

"Thank you. Her Majesty the Defei will definitely meet me." Lin Yan was convinced.

Zhao Yuan shook his head and subconsciously asked, "Ayan, have you ever seen someone with a row of blue and golden brocade flowers on his cuffs?"

Hearing this, Lin Yan's body suddenly trembled. Zhao Yuan immediately realized that there might be a problem here. It was just a casual question at first, but now he took it seriously.

"Ayan, you have seen it, right?" Zhao Yuan asked anxiously.

After a moment of silence, Lin Yan asked, "Is there anything wrong with the person wearing the blue brocade dress?"

Zhao Yuan took a deep breath and explained, "Well, the person who drugged Chen Qingqing this time was a man with a row of blue golden brocade flowers embroidered on his cuffs. Moreover, the anonymous letter received from my mother was also written by this person."

Lin Yan's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help asking, "Does Your Majesty know who he is?"

Zhao Yuan frowned and shook his head, saying, "It's not clear yet. Tell me first, where have you seen such people?"
