Chapter 168 Plan in Progress



Instead of getting angry, Jun Beiqi showed a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was really seriously considering Lin Zan's plan.

In the original book, Si Xueyi and Jun Beiyu's relationship became closer and closer, which also aroused the emperor's suspicion.

And because of this incident, the emperor no longer valued Jun Beiyu and deprived him of his power.

Jun Beiyu used the fact that he saved the emperor from the fire to regain the emperor's trust and reuse him.

So Lin Zhan planned to use this method on Jun Beiqi, so that the emperor would regain his trust in the prince.

I just don't know whether Jun Beiqi will agree. The atmosphere in the room was quiet for a long time, until Lin Zhan felt his body numb.

Jun Beiqi finally raised his head and looked at her, and said seriously, "This is the only way now."

"You agree?" Lin Zan was a little surprised. After all, the one who was sacrificed in this matter was Jun Beiqi's biological mother's temple.

Jun Beiqi smiled slightly. "Since my mother passed away, I have been like a floating duckweed in the palace. I never want to compete with others, but the situation forces me to compete."

"Since being aboveboard won't get me what I want, I'll just have to resort to some shady means."

Hearing Jun Beiqi say this, Lin Zhan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He felt that Jun Beiqi was not as pedantic as described in the original book.

Then, Lin Zhan raised his numb arm and patted Jun Beiqi on the shoulder, looking into his stunned eyes and said seriously, "Don't worry, I'm here, there will be no accidents."

After the words were spoken, the two smiled at each other.

Time passed quickly, and the eunuch beside the emperor placed an old piece of clothing in front of the emperor.

"Is the time up?" The emperor paused while reviewing the memorials and looked at the eunuch beside him with a cold look.

The eunuch nodded, and then helped the emperor put on the old clothes.

The emperor walked out of the imperial study, and the concubines from various palaces were already waiting outside, led by Concubine Qin.

After taking a quick look around, the emperor did not release the Queen Liu Qiuchan who was imprisoned in the palace, but took the concubines directly to the ancestral temple.

"So what if I become the queen? I'm still the one who laughs last." Concubine Qin couldn't help but curl her lips as she sat in the carriage.

She had thought that the Emperor would release the Queen to pay respects as today was the anniversary of the death of the Crown Prince's biological mother, but she had not expected that the Emperor would not even mention it.

This incident naturally gave Concubine Qin a boost of confidence. She felt that sooner or later she would be able to get the emperor to depose Liu Qiuchan and enthrone her as queen.

The group arrived in a mighty procession to the gate of the ancestral temple where emperors and empresses of all dynasties were enshrined.

The emperor got off the carriage and immediately saw the prince standing there respectfully.

After all, today is the anniversary of the prince's biological mother's death, so the emperor did not stop Jun Beiqi from paying homage to his mother.

Everyone followed the emperor into the ancestral temple, first worshipped their ancestors according to the rules, and then came to the temple of the prince's biological mother.

This time, the emperor did not allow anyone to enter. He entered the temple alone and closed the door.

"Everyone says that the emperor is ruthless, but he is very loving to the prince's biological mother. He comes to worship her every year and does not allow us to disturb her." Concubine Qin looked at Jun Beiqi who was standing aside and said directly.

Jun Beiqi stood there and ignored her, just looking straight ahead, as if he didn't care about anything.

Feeling that she had gotten into trouble, Concubine Qin snorted coldly and ignored Jun Beiqi.

And in a place that no one noticed, a slender figure floated behind the ancestral temple, took out a fire starter and threw it directly over.

The next second, flames began to burn fiercely. It turned out that kerosene had been poured under the ancestral temple, and it would burn quickly if it got a spark.

Concubine Qin knew that in previous years the emperor would stay in this temple for several hours before coming out, so she took the concubines in the harem to the front room to drink tea out of boredom.

Therefore, at this moment, at the gate of the temple, besides the guards, Jun Beiqi was the only one waiting.

Finally, the smell of burning drifted into everyone's nose. Many guards felt it was a bit strange. Jun Beiqi turned around and said to them, "Go and check what happened."

The guards did not suspect anything and hurried to check around. They soon discovered that the temple was on fire. However, due to the presence of kerosene, the fire spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Concubine Qin and others who heard the news also rushed over. Seeing the temple surrounded by fire, they immediately said in shock, "The emperor is still inside, what are you doing? Go in and save the emperor."

Some guards had already been sent away by Jun Beiqi, and the remaining guards were hesitant to move forward because the fire was too big.

At this critical moment, Jun Beiqi suddenly kicked the door open and rushed in amidst the flames.

At this moment in the temple, the emperor kept coughing and was choked by the thick smoke and could not open his eyes, but he was still holding the tablet of the prince's biological mother in his arms, as if he was protecting the tablet.

"Father." Jun Beiqi saw the emperor hiding in the corner and hurried over.

The emperor was somewhat surprised to see that it was the prince who rushed in to save him.

"Father, I will take you out." Jun Beiqi gritted his teeth and helped the dazed emperor to his feet, then ran towards the door.

At this moment, a beam from above suddenly fell down heavily. Jun Beiqi was shocked and quickly pushed the emperor away, but he was crushed under the beam.

Just before he fell into coma, Jun Beiqi saw that his father had been pushed out of the door by him and closed his eyes with relief.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? I was so worried." Concubine Qin looked at the emperor running out of the fire and hurriedly trotted over to support him.

The emperor pushed her away and shouted to the guards beside him with wide eyes, "Go in and save the prince quickly. If you can't save him, you will all be buried with him."

At this time, the guards who had been sent away by Jun Beiqi hurried back. They rushed into the fire together and rescued Jun Beiqi.

Seeing Jun Beiqi’s back burned, the emperor’s hands trembled with pain, and he quickly asked the accompanying imperial physician to treat Jun Beiqi.

Concubine Qin came over and asked the imperial doctors to treat the emperor first.

But in the next second, the emperor suddenly slapped Concubine Qin hard, "The prince was seriously injured to save me. The prince's life is more important than mine now."

After being slapped, Concubine Qin stood there in a daze, then said "yes" and slowly retreated, with a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
