Chapter 104: Using Children to Prevent Disaster



When the emperor heard Lin Zhan's words, there was some emotion on his face. Since the last incident, Lin Zhan had not called the emperor his brother-in-law for a long time.

In fact, the emperor was well aware that Lin Zhan had a slight estrangement from him.

So when the emperor heard Lin Zhan call him brother-in-law again, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

In addition, the emperor's own promise was a promise that he would not break, so he said to Lin Zhan, "You should go back and stay in the palace. If there is nothing to do, don't run around."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, brother-in-law!" Lin Zan smiled happily and then ran away.

When they were alone, the smile on Lin Zan's face faded and he sat there with a frown, thinking.

What did Taoist Wuxu mean by what he said just now? Is he going to do something to me?

This made Lin Zan alert, but soon, Liu Qiuchan sent someone to look for her, and Lin Zan followed the palace maid to Kangfu Palace.

A few days later, rumors spread in the harem that Concubine Qin was secretly taken out of the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor and returned to Mingde Palace.

But what is somewhat strange is that the emperor did not publicize this matter. Even the queen Liu Qiuchan only found out about it a few days later.

"I have survived a great disaster, so I will surely have good fortune in the future. You all should stay by my side and I will never treat you unfairly." After Concubine Qin came out of the Heavenly Prison, she acted like a favorite concubine again.

The palace maids and eunuchs kneeling before her responded one after another, and a hint of pride flashed across Concubine Qin's face.

However, although she was released from the Heavenly Prison, no one knew the reason, and the Mingde Palace was in a closed state, and even Liu Qiuchan was not allowed to enter.

During this period, Taoist Wuxu came to the palace again and was invited into Mingde Palace. It was unknown what he did, but he was sent out of the palace by the emperor.

All this mysterious and strange thing instantly caused some outrageous rumors to spread quickly in the harem.

Some people said that Taoist Wuxu had cast a poison on the emperor, causing him to be obedient to Concubine Qin and even wanted to make Concubine Qin the empress.

Others said that the emperor had a hidden illness and that Concubine Qin cut off her flesh and used it as medicine to cure the emperor's illness, so the emperor released her from the prison.

The rumors became more and more outrageous. Liu Qiuchan suppressed them with thundering means, but her heart was not at peace.

"Zhan'er, the emperor has recently sent many rare antiques to my palace. This is obviously to shut me up and stop me from pursuing the matter of Concubine Qin framing me."

Liu Qiuchan sat there, complaining to Lin Zhan angrily.

Although the emperor stayed in the queen's palace for several days and gave her various rewards, only Liu Qiuchan knew why the emperor did this.

Lin Zhan frowned, thought for a moment, and then said in a baby voice, "Then sister will follow the emperor's wishes. Besides, the emperor has already released Concubine Qin. If sister makes trouble again, the emperor will be fed up with sister."

These words woke Liu Qiuchan up from her dream, and she instantly felt like a deflated ball.

Lin Zan's eyes rolled around, and then he remembered something and said to Liu Qiuchan, "Sister, have you been taking your medicine on time these days?"

"Zhan'er repeatedly told me to take the medicine every day, saying that it was good for my health. How could I not drink it? Of course I took it every day." Liu Qiuchan said with a smile.

Before, when Lin Zhan took out some medicine in a serious manner and asked Liu Qiuchan to boil it and drink it to recuperate, Liu Qiuchan thought she was joking and did not take it seriously.

But later, after Liu Qiuchan drank a few doses of medicine, she found that her body felt much lighter. Only then did she realize how superb Lin Zan's medical skills were.

Moreover, the medicine prescribed by Lin Zhan did not taste bitter, so Liu Qiuchan persisted in taking it over time.

Hearing that Liu Qiuchan was taking medicine on time, Lin Zan breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since that day when Lin Zan knew that Liu Qiuchan was in poor health and everyone in the Imperial Hospital kept silent about it.

Lin Zan noticed something was wrong, so he secretly prepared some medicine for Liu Qiuchan to recuperate.

According to the time, if Liu Qiuchan took the medicine every day, her body should have recovered. In addition, the emperor stayed in the queen's palace every day these days.

Then maybe there will be good news. When Lin Zhan thought of this, he chuckled.

Seeing Lin Zhan laughing for no reason, Liu Qiuchan asked gently, "Zhan'er, what's wrong with you? Did you think of something good and laugh so happily?"

"Sister, you'll know later." Lin Zhan smiled and didn't say much. After all, everything is uncertain now.

But two days later, huge changes took place in the harem.

Concubine Qin was canonized as Concubine Qin by the Emperor.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the queen looked at the book in her hand in a daze, unable to recover for a while.

"Your Majesty, please stamp the phoenix seal." The chief eunuch beside the emperor said as he stood there with his head slightly lowered.

Liu Qiuchan came back to her senses and said with a serious face, "I want to see the emperor."

The chief eunuch did not seem surprised at her request and brought Liu Qiuchan to the imperial study.

An hour later, Liu Qiuchan walked out of the imperial study in a trance. She returned to the palace and looked at the imperial edict with a bitter smile on her lips.

Then he took the phoenix seal and stamped it heavily on the edict.

From today on, Concubine Qin was promoted to Imperial Concubine Qin, and everyone in the harem knew about it.

After learning about this, Lin Zan hurried to Kangfu Palace and found out why the emperor made this decision.

"Master Wuxu said that the prince in Concubine Qin's belly was miscarried because she had blocked the disaster for the emperor. The emperor felt pity for Concubine Qin, so he canonized her as a noble concubine." Liu Qiuchan said weakly as if all her strength had been drained.

Lin Zan stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to come back to his senses, and once again lamented the power of feudal superstition.

Taoist Wuxu's simple words actually wiped out Concubine Qin's guilt of miscarriage and framing the queen.

The emperor even changed Concubine Qin to Imperial Concubine Qin. No wonder Liu Qiuchan now has a look of despair on her face.

"Sister, everything will be fine." This is the only way Lin Zhan could comfort Liu Qiuchan.

Things haven't come to an end yet, and nothing is clear yet, but Lin Zhan will never give up.

Liu Qiuchan just smiled and didn't say anything. Moreover, for some time afterwards, she seemed to have disappeared and could not hide in the palace.

Since the Queen did not show up, Concubine Qin became the nominal master of the harem, which further fueled her arrogance. Si Xueyi's status also rose along with her god aunt.

In order to get closer to the imperial concubine, the concubines in the palace also began to please Si Xueyi.
