Chapter 15: All-out Planning



Lin Zan was not surprised that Si Xueyi moved into the ear room. After all, that woman had to stay in the palace and needed to keep a low profile.

So no matter what happens, Si Xueyi will not easily come into conflict with Lin Zan.

The next morning, after breakfast, Lin Zan went to the Imperial Hospital to study. When he left Hanfang Pavilion, he saw Si Xueyi, who was dressed neatly and had a delicate face, going out with her maid.

"She is dressed so ostentatiously, where is she going?" Bixia said in confusion.

Lin Zhan felt something and sneered, "Of course, she has to curry favor with everyone she can."

"But Miss Si entered the palace as the young lady's playmate. It is not good for her to move around casually. If she gets into trouble, the young lady might be blamed." Bixia's words instantly brought Lin Zan back to his senses.

Lin Zan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said nothing. He went to the Imperial Hospital first to continue studying medicine.

On the other side, Si Xueyi came to Concubine Qin's Mingde Palace and told her everything that happened yesterday.

"Strange, why would that girl be so hostile to you?" Concubine Qin was also puzzled. She knew very well that Si Xueyi and Lin Zan had never met.

So why does Lin Zan hate Si Xueyi so much?

Si Xueyi calmly shook her head. "Xueyi, I don't know, but Your Majesty, is there a way for me to leave Hanfang Pavilion, so that I can work for Your Majesty."

"It's not easy for me to keep you in the palace, and I'm using Lin Zhan's name. I don't care what method you use. First, gain Lin Zhan's trust. I will make arrangements for the rest."

Concubine Qin's phoenix eyes were full of indifference and calculation, which made Si Xueyi feel sad. Fortunately, she had prepared herself mentally and was not so disappointed.

After coming out of the Imperial Hospital, Lin Zan was invited into Kangfu Palace by the palace maids beside Concubine Xian.

"Zhan'er is here." Liu Qiuchan smiled warmly, stood up, took a few quick steps, and came in front of Lin Zhan.

Lin Zan also looked at her with a smile on his face, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the emperor sitting beside her.

Lin Zhan immediately understood why Liu Qiuchan had invited him to come, and he immediately ran to the emperor's side and said with a smile, "Your Majesty's brother-in-law is here too. Did you hear that the virtuous concubine was going to make delicious food for me, so you came here on purpose to eat my food?"

The half-coquettish tone made the emperor stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter and touched Lin Zan's hair.

"Yes, I am here just to enjoy your food. Do you want me to stay and have dinner with you?"

"Of course, I like the emperor's brother-in-law the most." Lin Zhan's little mouth made the emperor happy, and the atmosphere in Kangfu Palace became lively.

With the addition of Lin Zhan, the atmosphere between Liu Qiuchan and the emperor gradually became ambiguous and closer.

At the end of the evening, Lin Zhan tactfully withdrew from Kangfu Palace, and the Emperor naturally stayed at the place of Concubine Xian.

This made many pairs of eyes in the palace look at Kangfu Palace with jealousy.

And Liu Qiuchan also knew that all this was thanks to Lin Zhan.

Since the emperor still remembers Lin Zhan's deceased sister, she can use Lin Zhan as much as possible to create an impression of being virtuous in front of the emperor.

This was the plan that Lin Zan had told Liu Qiuchan from the beginning.

As long as she is virtuous and leaves a good impression on the emperor, then her residence in Guantian Palace will be possible.

As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a queen for a day. Since the death of Sister Lin Zhan, the position of queen has been vacant, and the undercurrents among the concubines in the harem have become increasingly intense.

Since Lin Zan had decided to push Concubine Xian to the throne, she naturally put all her efforts into planning. She even learned some recipes of medicinal food while studying Chinese medicine.

Then the recipes of these medicinal foods were handed over to Concubine Xian, who was asked to prepare medicinal foods for the Emperor personally every day to improve his favorability.

As expected, this method was very effective. Soon the emperor announced that he would make Concubine Xian the empress, and the entire harem was in an uproar.

"Zhan'er, this is all thanks to you. If I become the queen one day, I will not treat you unfairly." Liu Qiuchan said to Lin Zan happily.

Lin Zhan also smiled and said to her, "Your Majesty, this is what you deserve. In this harem, you are the only one who deserves the position of queen in my eyes."

"You are such a sweet girl. Take this. I specially asked the clothing bureau to make some new clothes for you. Don't say I treated you unfairly."

After spending the past few days with Lin Zan, Liu Qiuchan liked her more and more, and gradually began to treat her as his own sister.

Looking at those gorgeous yet elegant clothes, Lin Zhan naturally would not refuse and took them with a smile.

After doing all this, Lin Zhan returned to Hanfang Pavilion and unexpectedly found that Jun Anqing was also there.

"Fourth Prince, is that pickled hawthorn in your hand?" Si Xueyi looked at the crystal plate in Jun Anqing's hand with surprise in her eyes.

There are some red and shiny hawthorns placed on the crystal plate, which looks very tempting.

Jun Anqing hid the crystal plate in his hand to the side and said, "What does it have to do with you? Your eyes seem to be falling into my crystal plate. This is not for you to eat."

The straightforward words left Si Xueyi stunned on the spot, with an embarrassed look on her face.

Jun Anqing's straight-forward remarks made Lin Zhan laugh out loud, and instantly attracted the attention of two people.

"Lin Zan, you're back!" When Jun Anqing saw Lin Zan, he seemed like a different person. He jogged all the way to protect the crystal plate in his arms, his mouth almost grinning to his ears.

Lin Zhan came over, his eyes fell on his crystal plate, and said in surprise, "Hawthorns are not ripe yet in this season. Where did the hawthorns in the Fourth Prince's crystal plate come from?"

"This is the hawthorn that I had pickled and preserved last year. It tastes great, so I brought it here specially for you to try." Jun Anqing smiled naively, then picked up a hawthorn and handed it to Lin Zan's mouth.

Lin Zan ate it without hesitation. It was sour and sweet and tasted great. Then she noticed Si Xueyi biting her lips and looking at her with a greedy look on her face.

Then Lin Zan seemed to remember something. According to the original description, Si Xueyi was very fond of sweet and sour fruits and foods.

And what a coincidence, isn't the pickled hawthorn that Jun Anqing is holding in his hand the one that Si Xueyi likes?

When thinking of this, Lin Zhan smiled evilly, and then said to Jun Anqing, "Oh, it's really delicious. I have never eaten such delicious pickled hawthorn."
