Lin Wan'er knew that if she did nothing, she would never be able to get out alive.

I must meet the prince as soon as possible.

That night, after everyone else fell asleep, she wore only a layer of underwear and stood by the window, blowing the cold wind all night. The next morning, she developed a high fever.

She wrapped herself in the quilt and trembled as she said to Liu'er, "Go tell Li Ma that I'm dying and I want to see the prince!"

Seeing Lin Wan'er's bloodshot eyes, Liu'er was a little scared. She ran out of the door in a panic and told the gatekeeper about the situation.

The old woman didn't dare to let Lin Wan'er die in the yard, so she had to order others to continue guarding the door while she ran to report to the old lady.

When the old lady found out, she said nothing and just asked Nanny Li to pass on the message.

Lin Wan'er refused to drink water or lie down, and sat on the bed stubbornly waiting.

Seeing Nanny Li coming in, she cried hoarsely, "Where is the prince? I want to see the prince! I want to see my son and daughter!"

Nanny Li stood two steps away from the bed, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, as if Lin Wan'er were some kind of dirty thing. She looked at her with disgust and said, "Young lady, don't you understand?"

"If the prince didn't agree, how could the old lady send you to this courtyard?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head, "I don't believe it. The prince won't treat me like this. He said he would give me a legitimate status and marry me!"

"Hahaha!"

Nanny Li seemed to have heard a huge joke and was almost laughing to tears.

"Young lady, you are really naive. Let alone the royal palace, have you ever heard of a mistress of a noble family who was born a maid?"

"You have no background, no beauty, and no talent. Why do you think the prince would give up his future for you?"

"The reason why I locked you up here is because the prince thinks you are a shameful thing!"

"Don't feel wronged, girl. This is the path you chose."

Lin Wan'er bit her lips until they bled and held on to the edge of the bed tightly with both hands.

What she wants to be is the wife of a prince with unlimited glory, not a stinky rat that is afraid to be seen in the light!

She still insisted on meeting Lu Jingting, otherwise she would die here.

Nanny Li ignored her and simply instructed the servants in the courtyard: "The old lady has ordered that if Miss Lin is determined to commit suicide, you must not stop her, lest Miss Lin die."

"The old lady also instructed us to remember to find a good straw mat for Miss Lin, wrap her up tightly, and take her directly to the mass grave outside Beijing."

Finally, she turned around and left without even looking at Lin Wan'er.

Maybe it was because of the fever or because of the stimulation from Nanny Li, but Lin Wan'er was shaking so violently that she couldn't even speak.

Before Liu'er and Qing'er could go forward to serve, they were dragged away by the old women.

Lin Wan'er watched them close the door and leave, closing her eyes in despair...

She was unwilling to die like this. Her son had not yet inherited the throne, her daughter had not yet become the noble princess of the royal palace, and she herself had not yet become the mistress of the royal palace.

She gritted her teeth, with only one thought in her mind: survive! survive!

After listening to Nanny Li's story, the old lady simply said, "Life and death is up to her."

Anyway, Lu Jingting won't visit her these days, and Lu Ze and Lu Yuan are being watched closely, so who knows whether she is alive or dead.

Xiao Yunxi was preparing for a nap with Chunxiao's help when she heard Xia He come to report that Lin Wan'er was about to die of illness.

"Wasn't she still alive and kicking yesterday?" Chun Xiao curled her lips, "As expected, bitches get their comeuppance someday."

Xiao Yunxi frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"The secret guard reported that she wanted to see the prince, but she was exposed to the cold wind all night, not only did she not see him, but she was also ridiculed by Li Ma Ma. She was so angry that she convulsed and fainted. When the old lady found out, she refused to invite a doctor for her."

"Just let her fend for herself?" Chunxiao was shocked by the old lady's cruelty.

Xiao Yunxi was not surprised. "Go get a life-extending pill for the secret guard. At least save Lin Wan'er's life."

"Princess, if she's dead, you'll have less to worry about. Why are you still trying to save her?"

Chun Xiao looked at Xiao Yunxi and said, "If you save her, maybe she won't be grateful, but will bite you instead.

Xiao Yunxi smiled and said, "Now that she's dead, there's no way to perform the rest of the play."

If she died so easily, the lives of seven innocent women in my Xiao family would have been lost in vain!

Xia He took the medicine and went to deal with it herself.

Three days later, Lin Wan'er was not only fine, but she was also able to go to the yard to bask in the sun with Liu'er's help.

However, now she has become very gloomy and silent, and she doesn't even say a word the whole day.

"Auntie Hong, you are a double now, so you must be careful. This yard is very unlucky."

When the gatekeeper saw Hongyu coming over with two maids, she immediately smiled flatteringly.

"It's not that expensive," Hongyu smiled gently, "The princess hired a famous doctor who comes to check my pulse every ten days."

"The princess is kind," the old woman said, looking at Hongyu's belly. "My aunt is kind-hearted. This belly must be full of children."

"Thank you for your good words," Hongyu gently touched her belly, "The princess said that no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, it will be registered under her name and the child will be given a legitimate status."

"Auntie is so happy!" The old woman asked in surprise, "Will the prince agree?"

Hongyu smiled and said, "Has mother-in-law forgotten the old saying, 'Fight at the head of the bed, make up at the foot of the bed?'"

"The princess is a goddess with a gentle and generous temperament. How could the prince not like her?"

"The princess asked the prince to marry Cuiwei and me, and didn't the prince do it?"

"The prince likes the princess very much, he will definitely listen to what the princess says."

Hongyu even deliberately raised her voice and said, "A person as broad-minded and gentle as the princess will surely be able to teach my child to be as good as Master Zhan!"

"Then congratulations in advance, Aunt Hong. Your son is the first legitimate son of the Crown Prince."

Hongyu smiled very happily, "Thank you, mother-in-law!"

After listening to the conversation between Hongyu and the old woman, Lin Wan'er became even more silent and only signaled Liu'er to help her back to the room.

Lying on the bed, with a hideous look on his face.

Lu Jingting’s eldest son is not her Ze Ge’er, and now she needs a legitimate “biological son”!

She hated Lu Jingting, hated him for being ruthless, hated him for falling in love with Xiao Yunxi, and hated him for taking a concubine.

She would never allow anyone to take away Ze Ge'er's position.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death.

Since I can't replace Xiao Yunxi as the mistress, I'll have to win back Lu Jingting's favor first!

Since I can't be a wife, then be a concubine.

It's better than being locked up in this "Canliu Courtyard" and left to fend for oneself.

Lin Wan'er, who had figured it out, took a deep breath and murmured: As long as you are alive, there is a chance, and it is not certain who will have the last laugh.
