Chapter 894 Capable Person
He hurried to Xiao Ling's palace and saw him lying on the bed with a pale face.
He angrily questioned the Duke's wife who was standing by, "Why did you suddenly faint?"
The Duke's wife's eyes were red as she shook her head: "I didn't know. The eldest prince hadn't even spoken to me for a few words when he suddenly passed out!"
Old Doctor Lin arrived in time and quickly took Xiao Ling's pulse and gave him acupuncture.
Emperor Sheng An stared at him with burning eyes: "Mr. Lin, is the eldest prince okay?"
Doctor Lin shook his head: "It's nothing, he's just very weak. Let him rest and recuperate for the next few days, and don't overwork himself!"
Emperor Sheng An finally breathed a sigh of relief. He whispered, "Old Lin, Xiao Yu is the only son I have left. We can't afford any mistakes!"
Doctor Lin understood his thoughts very well. He said respectfully, "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my utmost to protect the safety of the eldest prince!"
Emperor Sheng An's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. With the assurance from Old Imperial Physician Lin, he felt much more at ease.
At this time, Xiao Ling woke up and said in a daze: "Father, I just had a dream. I seemed to see my second brother. He said he was lonely and had no one to play with him!"
Emperor Sheng An quickly interrupted with a sullen face: "Ignore him, Ling'er. You will be the ruler of a country in the future. If he comes to you again, you will drive him away. Do you understand?"
Xiao Ling nodded in fear: "Son, I know!"
Emperor Sheng An told him to rest more, and then took Doctor Lin outside.
He asked in confusion, "Mr. Lin, why did Xiao Ling and I dream of Yu'er at the same time?"
Doctor Lin asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, what did the Second Prince say to you?"
Emperor Sheng An rubbed his brow wearily and said, "What else can he say? He just complained that I was partial, saying that he was very lonely and wanted someone to accompany him down there to play!"
Old Doctor Lin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. Everyone knew that Xiao Yu had always been thinking about Little Miaomiao. If he pestered Emperor Sheng An to find Xiao Ling, he would definitely force him to compromise. By then, he would probably set his sights on Little Miaomiao again.
He did not dare to hesitate and quickly bowed and left.
He must tell Lin Yiwan the news as soon as possible so that she can think of a response plan.
When he returned to Marquis Zhan Yi's residence, Lin Yiwan was playing with lanterns with little Miaomiao.
She smiled happily, and her eyes sparkled like gems.
When Lin Yiwan saw Doctor Lin, she subconsciously asked, "Grandfather, how is the eldest prince in the palace?"
Doctor Lin said solemnly, "Wanwan, I have something to tell you!"
Lin Yiwan handed the little cat to the wet nurse, and then took the old doctor Lin to the study.
He spoke first: "The Emperor and the First Prince had nightmares at the same time, both of which were about the Second Prince. He said he was very lonely and wanted someone to play with him!"
Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed. This was unusual.
If a person has a nightmare, it may be an accident!
But if two people had attacks at the same time, someone must have done it on purpose.
She suddenly remembered that Xiao Zhan was only three years old and already very cunning, so was the person hiding behind him about to surface?
Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still.
She said in a deep voice: "Grandfather, I have to go to the palace. I want to find out the reason why the emperor had a nightmare to avoid future troubles!"
Doctor Lin nodded. "I thought so too. He's so persistent. Considering how much Emperor Sheng An values Xiao Ling, will he set his sights on our Miaomiao?"
Lin Yiwan suddenly said, "He dares!"
Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Grandfather, as long as he dares to touch Little Meow Meow, I will never let him go, even if he is the emperor!"
Doctor Lin soothed him gently, "Things haven't gotten to that point yet. Let's first investigate the cause of his nightmares!"
Lin Yiwan did not delay and entered the palace immediately.
Emperor Sheng'an was naturally irritable because of his poor mental state.
Li Delu, who was serving him, was worried. When he heard that Lin Yiwan came to ask for a meeting, it was like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
He spoke anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Marquis's wife is here to see you!"
A complex expression suddenly flashed across Emperor Sheng An's face. She had never been to the palace since Xiao Yu died.
I thought she would always be angry with me.
He immediately said: "Bring her in!"
Lin Yiwan and Old Doctor Lin walked up to him and bowed.
He quickly spoke, "No need to be so polite. Wanwan is so anxious to see me. What's the matter?"
Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and said, "Grandfather said you weren't in good spirits. Ah Yan and I were really worried, so we came to check on you!"
Emperor Sheng An couldn't help but laugh: "Wan Wan, you're worrying too much. I just had a nightmare. It's really not worth your special trip!"
Lin Yiwan looked at him carefully. "Your Majesty doesn't look well. It seems my trip wasn't in vain. Let me take your pulse!"
"Okay!" Emperor Sheng An handed her his wrist.
Lin Yiwan concentrated on taking his pulse and found that he was weak and the bruises under his eyes were very obvious.
It seems to be caused by lack of rest, but in fact, it is probably caused by external factors.
She asked calmly, "Your Majesty, did you use or eat anything before you had the nightmare?"
Emperor Sheng An thought carefully before answering, "I drank the ginseng soup sent by the imperial concubine!"
Lin Yiwan asked Li Delu to bring the medicine bowl, but did not find anything wrong.
Emperor Sheng An also spoke up: "It's impossible for Concubine Yao to harm me so blatantly. She has always been by my side. If anything happens to me, she will be the first person I suspect!"
Lin Yiwan also agreed with him, and she looked towards the incense in the house again.
Li Delu explained, "We used the tranquilizing incense made by the Imperial Hospital for the Emperor. It has been personally inspected by Dr. Lin, the Imperial Physician, so there shouldn't be any problems!"
Lin Yiwan pinched a little powder with her fingertips and put it to the tip of her nose, and indeed did not find anything unusual.
Things seemed to have reached a stalemate, which made her seem like she was making a big deal out of nothing.
Emperor Sheng An frowned and said, "Wanwan, you don't have to worry. I am mentally resolute. No matter how many nightmares I have, they cannot affect my thoughts. I am not a foolish ruler!"
Lin Yiwan understood very well that he wanted to give her peace of mind.
However, she still didn't dare to be careless.
She said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, do you know if Second Prince Xiao Yu has ever had any talented people around him?"
Emperor Sheng An shook his head: "No, all the people who served him were dismissed by me. Even Xiao Chengzi, who was with him at the end, was executed!"
Lin Yiwan said worriedly, "There must be someone we've overlooked. Otherwise, at such a young age, he wouldn't have come up with such a perfect kidnapping plan!"
Emperor Sheng An immediately frowned. If there really was such a person hiding in the palace, that would be truly terrifying.
He subconsciously asked, "Do you have any suspects?"
