Seeing that Tang Yu was obviously looking for trouble, Lin Zhan chewed the pork jerky quickly a few times and swallowed it into his stomach before jumping down from the chair.

Tang Yu is about the same age as Lin Zan, and they are of similar height. When they stand together, they look like two porcelain dolls.

"I'm indeed no different from you, but I can get the favor of the Queen Mother and you can't. Are you angry?" Lin Zhan stuck out his tongue at Tang Yu mischievously.

Tang Yu was so angry that her pretty face turned cold and her cheeks puffed up. "What are you so proud of? You are just an orphan without a father or a mother. The Queen just feels sorry for you."

"The Queen has pity on me, that's my ability. If you also want the Queen to pity you, then you can become like me. I don't mind."

Lin Zhan narrowed his eyes happily, but the words he said made Tang Yu very angry.

After all, even Tang Yu couldn't occupy a single room in Qinglan Courtyard, but Lin Zhan could.

"Don't be so arrogant. I want to see how miserable you will become without the favor of the emperor and the queen." Although Tang Yu was young, his harsh words hit Lin Zhan's heart.

After they left, Lin Zhan sat back in his chair with a rather grim look on his face. Bixia, who was standing beside him, didn't know how to comfort her.

In fact, Tang Yu didn't need to say those words just now, Lin Zhan knew it very well.

The reason why Lin Zhan was able to receive these preferential treatments was because of the favor of the emperor and the empress. If she lost these and had no family to rely on, her situation would definitely fall apart.

"Miss, the Queen will always protect you." Bixia said cautiously after hesitating.

In fact, even Bixia didn't believe this sentence, let alone Lin Zan. She just smiled and said nothing more.

It was late at night and Lin Zan was sleeping when she was suddenly awakened by a slight sound. She stared into the darkness with frightened eyes.

"The little girl is still so vigilant." A figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

The eerie moonlight sprinkled on the figure's face, outlining terrifying lines, especially the slightly upturned corners of the man's mouth. The strange curve made his entire face look extremely sinister.

"Murong Hui, why are you here again?" Lin Zan was a little surprised when he saw Murong Hui.

Ever since Jun Beiqi rescued Lin Zhan from Murong Hui's hands last time, there has been no news about him for a long time, so long that Lin Zhan almost forgot about him.

Murong Hui showed a cold smile, and walked in front of Lin Zhan with paranoia in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "I said I would come back to find you."

After he finished speaking, Murong Hui directly pressed Lin Zhan's acupoints, wrapped her tightly with a quilt, and then left the room without disturbing Bixia who was outside the room.

The whistling sound of the wind rang in Lin Zhan's ears, and the biting cold wind penetrated the thick quilt. Her face turned pale and her lips turned purple from the cold.

Finally, Murong Hui stopped, and Lin Zhan was surprised to find that this was actually an inn. Her mood also changed from shock, fear, and tension to complete calmness at this moment.

Because she knew that this man had gone to great lengths to bring her here and would never harm her.

As expected, after Murong Hui put Lin Zhan down, black lines appeared on his face, and these lines spread across his face as if they were alive.

It looked extremely terrifying and Lin Zan was shocked. Murong Hui was half-kneeling on the ground, seemingly enduring great pain.

Lin Zan, whose acupoints were pressed, could not move or speak. He could only stare with wide eyes at Murong Hui, whose body was slightly twisted.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sky outside had already shown a hint of dawn. Murong Hui finally returned to normal, and the black lines on his face slowly faded away, but his eyes looked at Lin Zan with a bloodshot look.

The next moment, before Lin Zan could react, Murong Hui pressed her acupoints and picked her up. She was like a defenseless chicken.

"Help me relieve the pain." Murong Hui said bluntly.

Lin Zan was held by him, her face flushed red, and her little hands kept patting his arms.

Finally, Murong Hui threw her onto the bed. Lin Zhan was also breathing heavily, looking at him speechlessly and said, "You are asking me for help, but you treat me like this. Aren't you afraid that I won't save you?"

"If you don't save me, it means you are useless to me and you will die." Murong Hui said bluntly.

Lin Zan curled her lips. She had taken Murong Hui's pulse last time. At that time, she felt that the poison in Murong Hui's body was very strange, as if it was alive.

Combined with everything he had just seen, Lin Zhan had a bold guess in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud.

Instead, she stretched out a white and tender little hand and said to Murong Hui, "I need a golden needle."

"Where is the golden needle? I'll go get it." Murong Hui said.

Lin Zhan shook his head. "You can't take it. I put the golden needle in the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Murong Hui frowned, took another step forward, and grabbed Lin Zhan's neck, not letting go until Lin Zhan rolled his eyes and was about to die.

"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!"

Lin Zhan coughed several times before he felt his breathing become smoother. "I didn't lie to you. I really put the golden needle in the palace. If you don't believe me, you can search me."

After saying this, Lin Zan simply stretched out his body, looking as if he was willing to let Murong Hui manipulate him.

Murong Hui glanced at her with a flickering look in his eyes, and left without saying anything more.

"Damn it, wasn't Murong Hui locked up in jail? How did he get out?" Lin Zan was completely confused.

Previously, Murong Hui had fallen into a trap and entered the palace, framing Lin Zhan for wanting to harm Si Xueyi. It was because of this incident that Lin Zhan was thrown into jail by the emperor.

But logically speaking, Murong Hui should be in prison, so how could he appear in front of him?

Lin Zan couldn't figure it out until a stranger suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Are you Murong Hui?" Lin Zhan said in shock, pointing at the stranger in front of him. Although the man's face had changed, his voice did not change. It was still Murong Hui's voice.

Murong Hui said, "I will send you back to Qinglan Courtyard. You ask the maidservant beside you to go back to the palace to get the golden needle. If you dare to play any tricks, you will definitely die."

After saying that, Murong Hui forced Lin Zan to take a pill. Needless to say, the pill must be poisonous.

Lin Zan was quietly sent back to Qinglan Courtyard by Murong Hui again, but this time he stayed in Qinglan Courtyard with the appearance of a cleaning boy.
