After Qin Fei finished speaking in an extremely arrogant manner, she burst into laughter and walked in front of Lin Zhan with a haughty attitude.
"Do you think I don't know what you are doing? But you are too young. There is no way you can defeat me. Sooner or later, I will leave here. When that time comes, you can only think about how to save your life."
After Concubine Qin finished speaking, she turned around and sat in the dark, no longer paying attention to Lin Zan.
At this moment, Lin Zan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the original book, Lin Zan always suspected that it was Concubine Qin who harmed his sister.
But until his death, Lin Zan never found a shred of evidence to prove that Concubine Qin had harmed Queen Lin.
There was no way to make the emperor punish Concubine Qin based on his own guesses, and Lin Zhan only knew a palace maid named Qingqiu at this moment.
She was a character who had appeared in the original book and was the senior maid serving Queen Lin.
Lin Zan felt that if there was really a hidden story behind Queen Lin's falling into the water, then Qingqiu, as the head maid, must know something.
Seeing Concubine Qin's reaction just now, Lin Zhan knew that his guess was correct, but Qingqiu was driven out of the palace after Queen Lin's death, and her whereabouts are now unknown.
Lin Zhan returned to Hanfang Pavilion, took off his concealing cloak and said to Bixia beside him, "Sister Bixia, do you still remember Qingqiu who used to serve my sister?"
Hearing her words, Bixia was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "Why did you suddenly ask about that person, Miss?"
"Sister Bixia, do you know where she is now? I heard that she was kicked out of the palace." Lin Zan continued to ask.
Bixia shook her head to indicate that she didn't know. Lin Zan sighed and decided that she had to investigate the matter herself.
Although Concubine Qin was imprisoned in the Sky Prison, the Emperor had yet to punish her, and the remaining members of the Qin family were doing their best to plead for her.
Among them is naturally Si Xueyi. After all, Concubine Qin is the only person she can rely on in this palace.
After the morning court session, Jun Beiqi turned the corner of the palace wall but was stopped by Si Xueyi.
Si Xueyi's face was covered with tears. She looked extremely weak. She tightly grasped Jun Beiqi's hand and begged, "Your Highness, please save my aunt!"
"How dare you! You can't touch the body of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince casually." A guard beside her showed no mercy and kicked Si Xueyi, knocking her down.
Si Xueyi fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on her face. She had never expected that she would be treated like this. She looked up at Jun Beiqi.
However, she didn't expect that Jun Beiqi not only did not help her up with a look of heartache, but was extremely cold and didn't even look at her, and walked forward directly.
At this moment, Si Xueyi finally became disheartened, knowing that no matter what she did, she could not make Jun Beiqi look at her differently, so she could only turn to someone else.
At this moment, a pair of hands with joints as smooth as jade appeared in front of her, and Jun Beiyu came in front of Si Xueyi like a god against the sunlight.
"The prince has a cold and unkind personality. Besides, my mother has always been at odds with the prince. How can you succeed in pleading with him?" Jun Beiyu said in a gentle voice.
Si Xueyi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously held his hand and stood up with his help. "But I have nowhere else to go. If I were left alone in the palace without my aunt, I would not be able to survive."
"Now there is only one person who can change father's decision." Jun Beiyu said with a firm look.
Si Xueyi looked at him with admiration and said, "I wonder who this person is that Prince Heng is talking about?"
Hearing her words, Jun Beiyu did not answer, but looked at her deeply, then gently let her go back first.
Hearing such gentle words, Si Xueyi naturally felt a little agitated, and she obeyed his words and returned to the palace.
On the second day, Lin Zan heard in Hanfang Pavilion that Taoist Wuxu from Yuxing Temple had come again.
"What? That old Taoist priest with a big nose is here again. He must be up to no good. Is he here to plead for Concubine Qin again? That would be terrible." Lin Zhan stood up and ran out of Hanfang Pavilion.
But by coincidence, he bumped into Jun Beiqi who had just entered the palace.
"You are so reckless. What a disgrace." Jun Beiqi held Lin Zan tightly and spoke with a mixture of scolding and slight doting in his words.
Lin Zhan hurriedly grabbed his hand and was about to go out. "Oh no, that Taoist priest is here again. We have to go to the Queen to discuss countermeasures."
But Lin Zan pulled for a long time but failed to pull Jun Beiqi behind her. She looked back at Jun Beiqi in confusion.
Jun Beiqi's face was a little serious at this moment, and he said calmly, "No need to go. Father has cancelled today's morning court session and will meet with Taoist Wuxu in the imperial study."
"What? The emperor didn't even attend the morning court just to see that old Taoist priest." Lin Zan widened his eyes in disbelief.
I've known for a long time that the emperor is superstitious, but I didn't expect him to be so superstitious.
But no matter what, Lin Zhan still dragged the somewhat reluctant Jun Beiqi to Kangfu Palace.
Liu Qiuchan also got the news, her brows furrowed. "Although the emperor has imprisoned Concubine Qin in the prison, he has delayed punishing her. If he delays, something bad will happen. The ancients were right."
"Sister, it's useless for you to say these now. We can't just watch Concubine Qin come out of the Heavenly Prison." Lin Zan said angrily, not wanting all her efforts to go to waste.
Liu Qiuchan sighed helplessly, but Lin Zhan didn't want to give up, so he sneaked to the door of the imperial study to eavesdrop.
However, he did not expect that the door of the imperial study would be opened, and Taoist Wuxu walked out with an immortal look, and immediately saw Lin Zhan who was tiptoeing.
"Although he is the chosen one by heaven, he is also a natural disaster. If he stays in the palace, disaster will surely come." Taoist Wuxu said some inexplicable words to Lin Zan.
The emperor who followed closely heard his words and asked hurriedly, "Why do you say that, Taoist priest?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed." Taoist Wuxu said this in a pretentious manner, and then left.
Lin Zhan was complaining in his heart: Do you still call this a secret that cannot be revealed? You have clearly revealed enough, and you still say that she is a disaster. It's really infuriating.
At this moment, the emperor looked at Lin Zan who was standing there, his eyes were somewhat surprised and doubtful.
Noticing the emperor's gaze, Lin Zhan quickly revealed a lovely smile and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty's brother-in-law, why did the Taoist priest say that I would bring disaster? I have obviously done a lot of good things in the palace. I am not a disaster star. Your Majesty's brother-in-law also said that he would allow me to live in the palace forever."
