The prince couldn't understand, but he didn't have bad feelings for Lin Chunhuan. On the contrary, he had a normal relationship with his uncle, who was about the same age, so he didn't want to harm her.

He shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I seemed to have seen an acquaintance just now. Since there are no male guests in the house, I must have made a mistake."

The prince turned and left, but the housekeeper returned to the backyard thoughtfully.

The backyard was a mess at the moment. Lin Yimiao fell into the water. Although he was rescued by King Qin, he is still awake.

Besides, it hasn't been long since Lin Yimiao fell into the water last time. How could the body and bones of a noble girl from an aristocratic family withstand such a torment?

Before the doctor even came in, Lin Yimiao had already developed a high fever.

The concubine's face was ashen and she appeased everyone. She sent everyone who came to attend the poetry meeting today out of the house, and hurriedly sent someone to notify the Hou Mansion.

The scene was not so lively even during the Chinese New Year.

Lin Chunhuan came back at this time. She was from the Hou Mansion and Lin Yimiao's sister. Naturally, since they came together, there was no reason for her to go back alone, so she could only wait by the concubine's side.

"Oh, you didn't even see that Miss Lin was taken out of the water by His Highness King Qin himself. Both of them are soaked!"

"You said that Miss Lin just had the idea of ​​getting engaged to the man from the East Palace. Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid the Crown Prince won't admit it."

"I guess Miss Lin is going to marry the prince. This kind of thing has never been handled this way. It's just a woman who has already been married to someone else. I don't know if His Highness King Qin is willing to accept such grievances."

"Why are you all so angry? No matter you are the Crown Princess or the Princess, you are all rich and powerful..."

The buzz of discussion reached his ears. Lin Chunhuan lowered his head and listened quietly, his body trembling slightly as if he was extremely scared, pretending to be a cautious and timid concubine.

She stood with the concubine, and the concubine could naturally hear the words she could hear. On the one hand, she was worried about Lin Yimiao's current safety, and on the other hand, she was extremely annoyed by these talkative women.

The expression on his face was really not pretty.

"Huanhuan, don't listen to those people's nonsense. Our palace is not that shameless."

The concubine patted the back of her hand gently, half to comfort and half to test, "Now that something like this happened, no one expected it. So many people saw it, and they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to, but..."

"Hey, as long as your eldest sister is willing, King Qin will carry her in a sedan chair and marry her in. Don't worry!"

Is she relieved?

She wants the Hou Mansion behind her to feel at ease, right?

How could Lin Chunhuan not understand the concubine's words? She pursed her lips and nodded gently. She was once again glad that she was mute now and didn't need to say any kind words in the scene.

The doctor arrived not long after waiting, and he was an old acquaintance of Ji'antang. Fortunately, she wore a veil the first time she went to Ji'antang, and Lufu went alone the second time.

The old doctor did not recognize Lin Chunhuan. He only saluted King Qin who had just changed his clothes and rushed over, and then hurried into the house.

"After all, this matter happened in our palace. No matter how we deal with it later, we should keep Miss Lin safe. My son is a man and it is inconvenient to go in. Please stay with Miss Lin while I go in and take a look."

Although the concubine was anxious, fearing that something might really happen to Lin Yimiao, she spoke very clearly.

Upon hearing this, King Qin bowed deeply to the concubine and said, "Thank you, mother."

After everyone entered the room and no one paid attention to the two of them from the servants coming and going, King Qin walked to Lin Chunhuan calmly and said, "I have done everything you asked me to do."

"As long as she is willing, I will marry her as agreed."

King Qin's tone was calm. If he hadn't said it himself, even Lin Yimiao would not have thought that it was an agreement between him and Lin Chunhuan that King Qin went into the water to save people today.

"It's just that I don't understand what this has to do with your treatment of the prince's illness."

Lin Chunhuan tilted his head slightly. At this moment, everyone who didn't matter had been sent out of the house. Most of the people who needed it were in the house. After making sure that there was no one else around, he raised his head and gave King Qin a definite answer, "It doesn't matter."

"If there is any connection, Lin Chunhuan marrying into the East Palace at this time will aggravate the prince's illness and make it more difficult to treat."

Raising his hand to rub his eyebrows, King Qin was so angry that he laughed out loud, "If you just want to ruin this marriage, there are many ways. Are you kidding at the expense of your own sister's good reputation?"

"This is also her own wish. This plan was agreed upon by the two of us. I want to help her and make her wish come true. Does His Highness King Qin have any questions?"

Lin Chunhuan's tone was very calm. It was so indifferent that all the unspoken words of King Qin were blocked in his throat. He pondered for a long time before speaking again, "Why?"

"I have no contact with Miss Lin before, and there is no love between the two of us. I can't give her the so-called love."

A little tired from standing, Lin Chunhuan took two steps back and leaned on the railing of the corridor, "In this case, why did His Highness King Qin agree to this plan?"

"If I remember correctly, I just made this suggestion to you and didn't force you to accept it. You don't love her either, so why did you agree to marry her?"

This question was a bit sharp. King Qin's hands behind his back unconsciously rubbed it gently, "Marriage and love are originally two different things."

"Fourth girl, men are much more realistic than you think. Love only occupies a very small part of a man's world. If you have it, it's fine, if you don't have it, it doesn't matter. Marriage with the Hou Mansion, first of all, is Your suggestion, the prince is my brother’s only bloodline, I hope that if you cure the prince, I will take your advice seriously and help you.”

"Secondly, the Marquis has won the trust of the Holy One and holds real power in his hands. Marrying the eldest daughter of the Marquis has no harm to me, not to mention me. These two facts should be placed in front of any man. After weighing the pros and cons, no one will refuse.”

Hearing these words, Lin Chunhuan just laughed jokingly.

"How pathetic."

King Qin frowned, "Pity?"

"Does Your Highness know how many life and death decisions a girl will make from birth to death?"

Tucking her wind-blown hair behind her ears, Lin Chunhuan raised her head and asked. King Qin didn't know what she was talking about, so he just frowned silently.

And Lin Chunhuan didn't really want to get an answer from him.

He spoke to himself, "You may have heard of it, but you have probably never seen it. Many girls are abandoned by their parents from birth, or even strangled to death by their own hands. Less than half of them survive."

"There are baby girl towers in many places among the people. Do you know what that place is used for?"
