Jun Beiqi heard Lin Zhan's thoughts clearly, and then directly said to the palace servant who came to pass on the message, "Just say that I don't see you and drive Si Xueyi away."

The palace servant who delivered the message was stunned, and Lin Zan looked at Jun Beiqi in disbelief.

"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear what I said?" Jun Beiqi said sharply again.

The palace maid immediately bowed and retreated, then went outside the East Palace and told Si Xueyi the original words.

"The prince doesn't want to see me." Si Xueyi's face turned pale with surprise, but she finally left.

After seeing Si Xueyi being driven away by Jun Beiqi, Lin Zan was extremely happy, but his expression remained normal and he did not show it at all.

However, what Lin Zan didn't know was that the happiness in her heart had already been sensed by Jun Beiqi.

"Lin Zhan, since we have reached an alliance, from today on you can no longer hide anything from me, and you must discuss everything with me and be honest with me."

Jun Beiqi said with a serious expression. As a person who had been reborn, he knew that there was something unusual about Lin Zan, so he was eager to find out.

"What does your Highness mean by this? Are you trying to get all my secrets out?"

Lin Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became a little tense.

Finally, Jun Beiqi said, "If you want to gain my trust, you must give me the same trust in return."

"It's really strange. Could it be that His Royal Highness is honest enough with me? He doesn't hide any secrets from me. His Royal Highness has secrets, and so do I."

"But this secret will not prevent me from assisting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne. You and I are in the same boat no matter what. Your Royal Highness, please rest assured about this."

After Lin Zhan finished speaking in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, he did not stay here for long and left the East Palace in an unsteady manner.

After she left, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, muttering, "Could it be that Jun Beiqi knows something? The way he looked at me just now seemed to have the power to see through people's hearts, which was really scary."

When he thought of this, Lin Zhan couldn't help but shudder.

When she came to her senses, she touched her aching butt and said through gritted teeth, "How dare you spank my butt!"

In this way, Lin Zhan limped back to Hanfang Pavilion, but learned a bolt from the blue from Bixia's mouth.

That is, Si Xueyi was kept in the palace by the emperor as Lin Zan's playmate, so naturally, she was also arranged to live in Hanfang Pavilion.

"What? Si Xueyi wants to live in the same yard with me. Doesn't that mean I will see her every day?" Lin Zan pouted angrily.

But he changed his mind and smiled a little wickedly. "That's good. If I keep her under my watch, some things will be easier to handle."

Bixia, who was standing nearby, was startled when she saw a mysterious smile suddenly appear on her young lady's face.

Soon the next day arrived, and Si Xueyi came to Hanfang Pavilion with some belongings.

Coming to Hanfang Pavilion, of course, was to pay a visit to Lin Zan. Si Xueyi had changed into a white dress with a pink base today. She looked like a gorgeous peony flower about to bloom, pure and beautiful, and eye-catching.

"Si Xueyi greets Miss Lin." Si Xueyi bowed gently, her figure graceful like a willow swaying in the wind.

Lin Zhan didn't say anything, but looked down at her, then smiled coldly. "Miss Si is here so soon, it's really worth the Qin family's arrangement."

"Ms. Lin, you're worrying too much. Xueyi entered the palace just to accompany Miss Lin." Si Xueyi said softly, not angry.

Thinking about the arrangements he made last night, Lin Zan did not keep Si Xueyi. He simply waved his hand and asked her to go to the side room to pack her luggage.

Si Xueyi was stunned for a moment when he let her go so easily. It seemed different from what she had imagined.

After all, at the flower-viewing banquet yesterday, Lin Zan's dislike for her was obvious and self-evident. So why wasn't he making things difficult for her now?

Si Xueyi was suspicious and confused, but she still took her maid to the side room to pack her luggage.

Seeing her leave, Lin Zhan quickly pricked up his ears, and after a while, he heard a scream coming from the room.

Lin Zhan's eyes sparkled with sparkling light, and he said to Bixia beside him, "The show is about to begin, let's go and see it."

As he said that, he brought his people to the wing room, and then saw Si Xueyi with a terrified look on her face and pale lips, staggering out of the wing room being supported by someone.

"Oh, what's wrong with Miss Si? You look so ugly." Lin Zan covered her mouth in surprise and said to Si Xueyi.

Si Xueyi opened and closed her mouth but ultimately didn't utter a word. Instead, the little maidservant next to her spoke frankly.

"Ms. Lin, how come there are snakes, insects, rats and ants in this room? My young lady was almost frightened to death."

"What, snakes, insects, rats and ants, how is this possible?" Lin Zan also looked puzzled, blinking his innocent eyes and looking at them.

The maid was furious and questioned Lin Zhan directly. "This Hanfang Pavilion is Miss Lin's courtyard, how could you not know? Maybe she is jealous of my Miss's beauty and is afraid that she will steal your limelight, so she deliberately released it to torture my Miss."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Zhan's face darkened instantly, and he looked at Si Xueyi with a cold look on his face and said, "Miss Si, do you also think that I put these filthy things in the room on purpose to tease you?"

Si Xueyi, who had finally breathed a sigh of relief, was a smart person and knew that she could not confront Lin Zan head-on now.

So she quickly grabbed her maid and apologized to Lin Zhan. "Miss Lin, you misunderstood. My maid is impulsive and outspoken. What she said offended Miss Lin. I hope Miss Lin will forgive me."

"Ms. Lin is the sister of Queen Lin. How could she do such a thing?"

When Lin Zan heard Si Xueyi mention his sister, his face became even colder.

"In this palace, those who speak their mind will die quickly. If Miss Si wants to stay in this palace for a long time, she should manage her subordinates well."

Lin Zhan snorted coldly, left with his maid, and moved all the people in the wing room and yard away.

Only Si Xueyi and her maid were left to clean up the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the side room.

The two half-grown girls were so frightened by these snakes, insects, rats and ants that they didn't dare to deal with them!

"Miss, the two people in the wing have found a relatively clean room and have moved in." Bixia whispered in Lin Zhan's ear.

Lin Zhan ate his food nonchalantly and said casually, "Since they are willing to live in the wing, let them live there. It's none of my business anyway."
