Jun Beiqi naturally thanked the emperor and accepted the order, staying in the palace to recuperate peacefully.
Jun Beiqi was treated personally by the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau. In the following few days, a steady stream of rewards and supplements were sent to the prince's palace.
Lin Zan in the Prince's Mansion also received Jun Beiqi's letter. Knowing that things were going very smoothly, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, regarding Langya's unauthorized crushing of Jun Beiqi, Lin Zhan still gave him a righteous lesson. "Next time this happens, you must inform me before you act. Otherwise, you should not stay with me anymore."
"Yes, Miss." Langya's expression remained cold and indifferent, making it impossible to tell his emotions.
When Jun Beiyu learned that his plan had failed, he could not help but grit his teeth. He did not expect that the dean would stay with Jun Beiqi all the time, leaving him no chance to take action.
And because of this incident, the emperor trusted Jun Beiqi again and gave Jun Beiqi the power of regent that he had previously deprived him of.
For a while, the ministers in the court did not dare to take sides at will. Instead, they remained neutral and watched how the situation developed.
After the prince regained favor, Lin Zhan began to think about what to do about Liu Qiuchan's matter.
After all, Liu Qiuchan is still imprisoned in the cold palace because she pleaded for him. Although she is taken care of privately by Lord Yuanzheng, staying in the cold palace is not a long-term solution.
So after thinking for a long time, Lin Zan wrote several letters, informing Jun Beiqi in the palace of his next plan and asking him to cooperate with him.
After receiving the letter, Jun Beiqi learned of Lin Zan's plan and frowned slightly, but still ordered his secret guards to actively cooperate with Lin Zan.
After the hospital's treatment, the injury on Lin Zan's back has healed by 60% to 70%, and he can get out of bed and walk.
Because he was worried about Liu Qiuchan's health, Lin Zan asked Langya to take him secretly back to the palace and came to the cold palace where Liu Qiuchan was imprisoned.
Looking at the desolate and bleak scene in the cold palace, Lin Zhan felt her eyes sore. However, Liu Qiuchan saw her surprised look and walked over with her bulging belly.
"Zan'er, why are you here? How is your back injury recovering?" As soon as Liu Qiuchan saw Lin Zan, she began to care about her injuries.
Lin Zhan felt warm in his heart and quickly said to Liu Qiuchan, "Sister, don't worry, my injuries have almost healed, but you are the one who got hurt by me."
"Silly girl, why are we sisters talking about this? Besides, I am quite comfortable in the cold palace. Without the intrigues among the concubines, maybe I can give birth to the child smoothly."
There was a maternal glow on Liu Qiuchan's face, and she stroked her belly with a faint smile on her lips.
"But I don't think Concubine Qin will let go of the baby in my sister's belly. After all, although the emperor has locked my sister in the cold palace, I am still the queen." Lin Zan's words awakened Liu Qiuchan.
Liu Qiuchan gritted her teeth and said to Lin Zhan, "I have read the letter you sent me before. I will cooperate with you in whatever you want to do."
"Sister, in order to prevent future troubles, we must take the initiative." Lin Zhan said, gritting his teeth.
One day later, late at night, the palace suddenly became noisy. It turned out that a huge fire had started in the direction of the cold palace.
Such a loud noise naturally alarmed the emperor. He frowned as he looked at the fire in the sky.
The eunuch standing beside him suddenly exclaimed, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. It seems that there is a fire in the cold palace. The Empress is still locked up in the cold palace."
After these words were spoken, the emperor's expression finally changed. He then ordered people to go to the cold palace to put out the fire, and he also rushed to the cold palace with a group of royal guards.
Although the emperor was furious at the time and locked Liu Qiuchan, who pleaded for Lin Zhan, in the cold palace, the queen was pregnant at the moment, so the emperor had to rush over.
At this moment, Liu Qiuchan, who was surrounded by the blazing fire in the cold palace, was unusually calm. She took a deep breath, stroked her belly and said, "Success or failure depends on this one move. You must fight for your mother's honor."
At this moment, an assassin in black suddenly appeared, and stabbed Liu Qiuchan with his sword flashing with cold light.
Seeing that Liu Qiuchan could not dodge the sword, at this critical moment, the emperor's furious voice suddenly rang out. "How dare you, you daring thief, to assassinate the queen."
As he finished speaking, the man in black seemed to pause the sword in his hand, then he dodged to the side, and the Royal Guards surrounded the man in black.
The time finally came. Liu Qiuchan looked at the emperor with tearful eyes, and then fainted.
"Your Majesty, please rescue the Queen first." The eunuch said hurriedly as he looked at the flames around him.
The emperor gritted his teeth, picked up the queen, and hurriedly left the cold palace, while the royal guards had already surrounded the assassin.
The fire in the cold palace naturally alarmed Concubine Qin in Mingde Palace. She raised her exquisite eyes and sneered, "This fire came at the right time. It would be best if Liu Qiuchan, that bitch, and the child in her belly were burned to death."
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Emperor has already brought people over there." The palace maid beside her reminded.
Concubine Qin didn't like what she heard, and slapped the maid in the face. "Do I need your reminder? Or do you want my enemy to live and go against me?"
"I dare not. Please bear with the punishment, Your Majesty." The palace maid knelt down hurriedly, lowered her head and said in fear.
Concubine Qin snorted coldly and ignored her.
After learning that the cold palace had caught fire and the assassin had been captured, Jun Beiqi narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand and asked the secret guards to retreat.
The news that Liu Qiuchan was rescued by the emperor soon spread to Mingde Palace. Concubine Qin cursed Liu Qiuchan in her heart for being so lucky, then twisted her slender waist and prepared to rest.
On the other side, the Imperial Guards had already captured the assassin who assassinated Liu Qiuchan.
The emperor looked at Liu Qiuchan who was unconscious on the bed, his brows were grim and anger was rising in his body.
"Put the assassin in jail and find out who is behind it?" the emperor said in a cold voice.
The next day, Concubine Qin had just finished dressing up when she learned from her confidant that the Emperor had stayed with Liu Qiuchan all night. She was so angry that she threw the jade comb in her hand to the ground.
"Damn it! Someone, come and prepare the ginseng soup. I want to go see the Empress." Concubine Qin said gritting her teeth.
