Chapter 163: No Way to Defend Yourself



Lin Zan still remembered that this little eunuch was sent to her by Jun Beiqi, so she had never thought that this little eunuch would betray her.

However, when she saw the wounds on the little eunuch's body and his weak legs, she knew that during the time when she was away from the palace, the little eunuch must have suffered torture that others could hardly imagine.

Lin Zhan was instantly relieved. She took a deep breath, looked up and said to Concubine Qin, "Yes, I did write a letter and asked this eunuch to give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Your Majesty, look, even she has admitted it. How can Your Majesty keep such a scheming and ambitious woman in the palace?" Concubine Qin immediately said to the emperor in a coquettish voice.

Liu Qiuchan quickly pleaded for Lin Zan. "Your Majesty, Lin Zan and the Crown Prince grew up together. The Crown Prince is imprisoned in the Crown Prince's Mansion, so it is natural for Lin Zan to care about him. I just sent a letter to express my regards, and there is absolutely no other intention."

"Your Majesty, what you said is really ridiculous. The Queen also saw the letter just now. Is that just a normal greeting? It's clearly a naked seduction."

Concubine Qin giggled at the side and spoke without giving in, which made Liu Qiuchan look particularly ugly.

The emperor who was sitting there at the moment also snorted coldly and said to Lin Zhan who was kneeling on the ground, "Since you have already admitted it, there is nothing to say."

After saying that, the Imperial Guards wanted to step forward and take Lin Zhan away, but at this critical moment, Lin Zhan quickly raised the letter in his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, please wait a moment. I admit that I did write a letter to the prince, but it was not this letter."

After the words fell, the whole hall was silent for a moment. Concubine Qin narrowed her eyes slightly, flashing a cold light.

Empress Zhang could no longer hold back and spoke up. "Lin Zhan, things have come to this point, and you still dare to quibble. Your Majesty, I have long noticed the sneaky relationship between Lin Zhan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"But I kept it to myself for the sake of the royal family, so I never said anything until that day when I saw the young eunuch in Linzhan Palace trying to sneak out of the palace, so I stopped him and found the letter on him."

"I wanted to keep this matter secret, but I didn't expect that the emperor would see this letter by mistake. Your Majesty, defiling the palace is a serious crime."

"Even if you remember the kindness of the late Queen Lin, you can be spared the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of living." Empress Zhang's words seemed to have directly determined the verdict on Lin Zan.

Liu Qiuchan was about to speak, but the emperor raised his hand to stop her. "That's enough. I don't want to listen to anyone anymore. Lin Zhan, you should have left the palace after your sister passed away."

"I have always indulged you, and I have made you forget your own identity. From today on, I will officially expel you from the palace. You will take care of yourself."

As soon as the emperor gave the order, some people in the hall were happy and some were worried, but the only one who was really worried about Lin Zan was Liu Qiuchan.

Liu Qiuchan hurried down and knelt in front of the emperor, defending Lin Zhan. "Your Majesty, there must be something else behind this matter. Lin Zhan is not that kind of person. Please investigate carefully."

Seeing this scene, Concubine Qin and Empress Zhang both curled up their lips into a smug smile.

"The Queen is so protective of Lin Zhan. I'm afraid the two of them have been secretly colluding with each other for a long time. Maybe the Queen already knew about Lin Zhan seducing the prince."

Concubine Qin suddenly said something shocking. The emperor's face changed and he looked at Liu Qiuchan with suspicion.

Madam Zhang, who was standing aside, also looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"I have long heard in the harem that the Queen and the Crown Prince have a very close relationship. In addition, the Queen has been taking good care of Lin Zan since she was a child. Could it be that they are all trying to form a clique in the harem and control the government?"

When Concubine Qin said this, she looked very surprised, but this exaggerated statement made the emperor's face look extremely ugly.

"What Concubine Qin said is too alarmist. Your Majesty, I have never had such an idea." Liu Qiuchan was shocked and lowered her head quickly.

Lin Zan knelt there, extremely anxious, but now she and Liu Qiuchan were at a disadvantage and had no way to defend themselves.

"I never thought that the queen I personally appointed would have such thoughts. It really makes me look at her in a new light." The emperor looked at Liu Qiuchan coldly.

Liu Qiuchan wanted to say something else, but the emperor obviously didn't want to listen anymore. He shook his hand coldly and said, "Since the queen is pregnant, I will not pursue this matter for the time being. Come, take the queen back to Kangfu Palace."

It was obvious that the emperor wanted to put the queen under house arrest. Concubine Qin smiled arrogantly as she watched the palace maids take Liu Qiuchan away.

Liu Qiuchan is now in a difficult situation and has no way to help Lin Zan.

This time, before Lin Zan could say anything, he was thrown into jail by the emperor.

As night fell, Langya quietly appeared in the prison, and said to Lin Zhan with a serious face, "Miss, I will rescue you right away."

"No, I can't implicate my sister, so I can't go out now. I must prove my innocence." Lin Zan said with gritted teeth, knowing that if she disappeared, Liu Qiuchan would definitely be implicated.

Moreover, Liu Qiuchan was pregnant at the moment, so Lin Zan couldn't do this at all.

Upon learning that Lin Zan was imprisoned by the emperor, Liu Qiuchan fainted. If it weren't for the director's superb medical skills, she might not have been able to save the baby in her belly.

"Queen, you need to relax. After all, the prince in your belly is the most important right now." The director comforted Liu Qiuchan.

Liu Qiuchan said with a pale face, "The prince is now under house arrest in the prince's mansion, and Zhan'er is imprisoned. At present, only I can save them. How can I not be anxious?"

"If Her Majesty loses the baby in her belly, the Emperor will probably no longer have mercy on Her Majesty." The Dean said bluntly.

It is said that the royal family is ruthless. Liu Qiuchan has truly witnessed this at this moment. She gritted her teeth, touched her lower abdomen, and finally listened to the words of the Yuanzheng. She nodded and said, "The Yuanzheng is right. I will be careful."

In Mingde Palace, after the Queen was humiliated in front of the Emperor, Concubine Qin immediately smiled happily, and the palace was filled with joy.

"This time, I must completely overthrow the Queen and make it impossible for her to stand up again." Concubine Qin said while gritting her teeth.

Empress Zhang was also sitting beside them, smiling. "Don't worry, Imperial Concubine, the Queen will never leave Lin Zhan alone. By that time, we will be able to catch him."
