Qin Shuang looked at Lin Zhan who was walking in front of her with a strange look in her eyes, then she sneered and continued speaking while raising the armor on her fingers.

"Hurry up and kneel down. If you kneel down and kowtow ten times, maybe I will let you go. Otherwise, when I return to the position of imperial concubine, your life will be in danger."

This time Lin Zhan finally spoke coldly. "Do you think you will really regain favor and become Concubine Qin again, Qin Shuang? Forget it."

After the words fell, Qin Shuang's body trembled, and she looked at Lin Zhan in disbelief, gritting her teeth and said, "Little bitch, what did you say? How dare you curse me."

"I'm not cursing you. I'm telling you clearly that as long as I'm here, you'll never be able to return to the position of imperial concubine." Lin Zhan said firmly while gritting his teeth.

This sentence completely infuriated Qin Shuang. She stood up suddenly, and at this moment, Lin Zhan also took off the human skin mask on his face.

When Qin Shuang saw clearly that the person who had been provoking him again and again was Lin Zan, he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed arrogantly.

"So it's you. How dare you say such big words just now?" Qin Shuang looked at Lin Zan with disdain, not believing that she could stop him at all.

Lin Zhan said directly, "Do you think that when the emperor's brother-in-law knows that my sister was killed by you, he will still love you? Maybe he will kill you directly to avenge my sister."

After these words came out, Qin Shuang's face turned cold. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly and said, "Little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? Your sister died because she was not destined to be the queen. She stole my position as the queen, so she deserved to die."

"Haha, your position as queen, you think you can ascend to the position of queen just by relying on your status as a concubine's daughter of the Qin family. It's simply ridiculous." Lin Zhan said sharply, but it hurt Qin Shuang's sore spot badly.

Qin Shuang's eyes turned red, and he stared at Lin Zhan like an angry beast, his white teeth flashing coldly. "What did you say?"

"I say, you are just a concubine's daughter, a thing that is not worthy of being on the stage, yet you dare to dream of the position of queen. Isn't it ridiculous?" Lin Zan's face was calm, and he provoked Qin Shuang again.

What Qin Shuang hated most over the years was that others used her status as a concubine's daughter to make trouble. That's right, she was not actually the legitimate daughter of the Qin family.

At the beginning, the Qin family saw Qin Shuang's extraordinary appearance and charming beauty, so they wanted to send her to the palace to serve the emperor.

But Qin Shuang's mother was of low status. She was a concubine bought by the mistress of the Qin family.

In order to raise Qin Shuang's status and allow her to enter the palace smoothly, the mistress of the Qin family registered her under her own name and made her the legitimate daughter of the Qin family.

However, the Qin family kept this matter very secret, and few people knew about it. Qin Shuang never thought that Lin Zan would reveal her true identity at this moment.

So at this moment, Qin Shuang couldn't bear it anymore and was completely enraged by Lin Zhan, so she hit Lin Zhan directly.

But what was somewhat surprising was that this time Lin Zan did not stop her or dodge, but let her beat and scold him without fighting back.

"You little bitch, you shameless thing, what qualifications do you have to make up stories about me? I am the emperor's concubine at the very least, and you are just an orphan who has no one to rely on and is fostered in the palace by the emperor. How dare you laugh at me?"

Qin Shuang became angrier and angrier as she spoke, and her attacks naturally became more and more ruthless. Soon, Lin Zhan's body and face were covered with scars, but she never fought back.

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened, and the emperor strode in with a cold face. At a glance, he saw Lin Zhan, who was beaten all over, and Qin Shuang, who was like a madman.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The emperor walked forward angrily and kicked Qin Shuang to the ground.

Qin Shuang blinked when she came back to her senses, as if she had not expected that the emperor would suddenly appear in the cold palace.

The Queen Liu Qiuchan also came with him. When she saw the seriously injured Lin Zhan, she hurried over, picked up Lin Zhan with red eyes, and said, "Zhan'er, how are you? Are you okay?"

"Sister, I'm fine. Your Majesty's brother-in-law, I'm sorry. I have caused trouble for you again." Lin Zan said to the emperor with her dying breath.

At the beginning, the emperor was quite resentful about Lin Zhan returning to the palace without permission, but when he saw that Lin Zhan was seriously injured and asked for his forgiveness, his heart couldn't help but soften.

Coincidentally, at this time, Lin Zhan fainted, and the emperor quickly asked someone to take Lin Zhan away for treatment.

At the same time, Qin Shuang also came back to his senses, grabbed the emperor's hem and said, "Your Majesty, this is all the trick of that little bitch. She deliberately angered me and made me beat her. Your Majesty must not be fooled by that little bitch."

"That's enough. I thought you had changed after being in the cold palace for so many days and were no longer as arrogant as before, but now it seems that I was wrong. Since you refuse to change despite repeated admonitions, you should stay in the cold palace."

After the emperor finished speaking, he kicked Qin Shuang away and left the cold palace with his men.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent, Your Majesty." No matter how Qin Shuang shouted from behind, the emperor never looked back at her.

The door of the cold palace was shut again, and an air of loneliness and solitude instantly hit her in the face. The cold wind made Qin Shuang, who was wearing thin clothes, shiver uncontrollably.

"Lin Zan, Liu Qiuchan, just wait for me, I will never let you go." Qin Shuang said gritting his teeth.

In this way, the seriously injured Lin Zan was brought back to Kangfu Palace and treated by people from the Imperial Hospital, while Liu Qiuchan knelt before the emperor to confess his crime.

"Your Majesty, Zhan'er grew up in the palace, and Your Majesty also took away the rewards you gave to Zhan'er. Zhan'er is helpless outside the palace. I really can't bear it, so I secretly brought her into the palace. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Liu Qiuchan knelt in front of the emperor and spoke earnestly.

"Forget it. I was too impulsive before. Before Queen Lin passed away, she asked me to take good care of her only sister. I must abide by the promise I made." The emperor sighed and said.

This meant that the emperor would no longer pursue the matter of Lin Zan hiding his identity and entering the palace secretly. Liu Qiuchan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

The emperor did not stay in Kangfu Palace tonight, but left. After the emperor left, Lin Zhan also opened his eyes coincidentally.

"We succeeded, and the emperor had no doubts." Liu Qiuchan touched Lin Zan's cheek with relief, and said softly with a smile.
