Chapter 126: Sinister Intentions



"Lin Zhan has the demeanor of Queen Lin back then. If Queen Lin hadn't passed away, she would have been the most favored concubine in the palace, and no one would have been able to match her fame."

The ministers around were whispering, and all the men present were fascinated by Lin Zan's beauty.

Lin Zan followed Liu Qiuchan without looking away and came to the seat above, but she did not sit with the queen.

Because Lin Zhan was able to stay in the palace because of the emperor's grace, and he himself had no status.

So she bowed to the emperor, then slowly stepped back and sat down on the seat below the steps.

As luck would have it, the person sitting next to her was Tang Xiu, the daughter of the Grand Tutor.

Compared to when they first met many years ago, Tang Xiu now looked more gentle and virtuous. With a soft smile on her lips, she nodded at Lin Zhan.

Lin Zan quickly returned the greeting and sat down. Then she saw Jun Anqing sitting on the steps, winking at her.

Looking at his funny expression, Lin Zhan almost laughed, but she forced herself to hold it back. The sound of stringed instruments and moonlight rang out again, and everyone raised their glasses to celebrate Tianshuo's day.

Lin Zhan felt very bored with such a banquet, and the palace maids around Liu Qiuchan kept reminding her which young master to pay attention to.

This made Lin Zhan feel even more annoyed, so he quietly left the hall when no one was paying attention and went for a walk in the imperial garden alone.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared, which scared Lin Zhan, but when he looked closely, he found that it was Langya.

"Miss, I found that there is another person following you. I can make him disappear." Langya spoke with full of hostility.

Lin Zhan was stunned, and quickly waved his hand and said, "No, that's Qingzhu, the guard the prince gave me."

"With me here, Miss doesn't need any other guards." Langya said proudly.

Thinking of the description of Langya in the original book, Lin Zhan did not have any objection to this point, but still said, "It's okay, one more person means one more guarantee."

"There is one more thing. I found that there is a strange smell on the lady's bow and arrow, and this smell can attract wild beasts." Langya said surprisingly.

His words surprised Lin Zhan, and he asked quickly, "Are you telling the truth? Why didn't I smell it?"

"Miss, my nose is very sensitive and I won't be wrong. The tiger that appeared today is definitely not an accident." Langya said firmly.

This means that the tiger that appeared today was attracted by the smell of the bow and arrow that Lin Zhan secretly brought, not just the smell of blood.

Lin Zan frowned. Who on earth had tampered with the bow and arrow and wanted to kill her?

"But don't worry, miss. As long as I'm here, this kind of thing will never happen again." Langya assured.

Lin Zhan nodded and didn't say anything. At this moment, Lang Ya suddenly picked up Lin Zhan and flew directly to a tree nearby.

Lin Zhan, who had never experienced anything like this before, was startled, but Lang Ya put his hand to his mouth, signaling him to speak in a low voice.

Only then did Lin Zhan realize that two figures were walking towards this side, and then stopped under the tree where they were hiding.

"Your Highness, I have checked it out. The skull of the giant insect was pierced by a sharp sword. This cannot be achieved without great martial arts skills. I guess the prince must be protected by an expert."

In the dim environment, Lin Zan couldn't see the face of the person who was speaking, but he could clearly hear the person addressing the person in front of him.

Among the emperor's princes, only Jun Beiyu was crowned king. As expected, Jun Beiyu's familiar voice sounded, "I know. Take care of the tail and don't let others know, especially the bow and arrow. Don't let Lin Zhan know."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The man took the order and left quickly. Jun Beiyu stayed under the tree for a while before leaving.

After the sound died down, Langya flew down from the tree with Linzhan.

Lin Zhan gritted his teeth. "He looks like a bodhisattva on the outside, but his heart is so dark. If something really happens to the prince, I might have to bear the blame."

When he thought of this, Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked Langya beside him, "Go follow that person and find a way to pry open his mouth. I want to know Jun Beiyu's complete plan."

"Yes, Miss." Langya nodded immediately, and then chased in the direction of that person like a ghost.

Lin Zan thought for a long time with a gloomy face, and then returned to the banquet as if nothing had happened. Just as he sat down, Jun Anqing walked over here.

"Li Zi, where have you been?" Jun Anqing, holding food in his hand, sat down next to Lin Zan without paying any attention to the strange looks from the people around him.

Lin Zan looked at him speechlessly, then pushed him. "What are you doing in public? Go back to your seat."

"I brought you something delicious." Jun Anqing smiled indifferently, then put the food in his hand in front of Lin Zan.

At this time, Tang Xiu, who was sitting next to them, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "The relationship between the Fourth Prince and Miss Lin is really enviable."

"Of course, the relationship between Li Zi and I must be special." Jun Anqing raised his head proudly.

When Liu Qiuchan saw this scene, her expression became a little stiff, and she kept observing Lin Zan and Jun Anqing out of the corner of her eyes.

When the banquet was in full swing, the emperor suddenly called Jun Beiyu to his side and said lovingly, "Prince Heng is already old, it's time to appoint a queen."

After these words were spoken, the voices at the banquet paused for a moment. Concubine Qin smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty, I think so too. I wonder which noble lady Your Majesty is interested in?"

Lin Zan's gaze fell implicitly on Wang Lanye. If nothing unexpected happened, Jun Beiyu's wife would be Wang Lanye.

"Where is Wang Lanye, the daughter of Minister Wang?" The emperor smiled heartily, and then really called Wang Lanye out.

Wang Lanye was stunned for a moment, then she came to her senses, walked slowly over in a light blue gauze dress, and knelt in the hall.

"Wang Lanye, I have heard that you are talented, gentle and virtuous. You and Prince Heng are a perfect match made in heaven. I grant you marriage and the wedding will be completed on the eighth day of next month."

The emperor had a smile on his face as he set the wedding date for the two and granted them the marriage on the spot. Naturally, Jun Beiyu and Wang Lanye would not disobey his order and both knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace.

As expected, things were still moving forward along the original route. Lin Zan looked at Wang Lanye with emotion, but his eyes inadvertently saw Si Xueyi who was sitting at the back of the hall.

Si Xueyi's face was full of sadness.
