Chapter 18: Too Much Tacit Understanding



After Lin Zhan finished speaking, the hypocritical mask on Si Xueyi's face finally could no longer remain.

Si Xueyi's face turned pale and blue, and finally she trotted out of the pavilion, while Lin Zan was laughing so hard in the pavilion.

Don't even think about using your green tea tricks to confuse anyone this time, Lin Zhan thought firmly in his heart.

Jun Beiqi, who was standing at the side, looked at Lin Zhan with interest, then interrupted her thoughts and said, "Is Miss Si really sick?"

"Yes, of course. And she has a disease here, which is contagious. You should stay away from her in the future and don't get infected." Lin Zan turned his head and pointed at his head and said to Jun Beiqi very seriously.

Thinking back to the original book, Jun Beiqi was Si Xueyi's unwavering backup!

Now that I think about it, I must have been fooled by Si Xueyi's pretentious green tea style.

The word "spare tire" added a bit of doubt to Jun Beiqi's brows, but after he was reborn, he naturally saw Si Xueyi's true face and would never be fooled a second time.

"By the way, Your Highness, I have something to tell you. You have to use all your money to buy food in the next few days. Remember to buy a lot. It will be of great use in the future."

Lin Zan suddenly remembered something, and thinking that it was about time, he said to Jun Beiqi.

But what he didn't expect was that Jun Beiqi put his hands behind his back, with a mysterious look in his eyes. "Oh, really? We both thought of the same thing. I ordered the people in the palace to stockpile food and various medicinal herbs yesterday."

After the voice fell, Lin Zhan was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, and said to Jun Beiqi, "Then we really have a tacit understanding, but why would His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to hoard food? Did he notice something in advance?"

When she said this, Lin Zan looked at Jun Beiqi sharply. She knew the subsequent developments because she had read the book in advance.

But at this moment, Jun Beiqi had absolutely no way of knowing what would happen in a few days, or whether there was someone other than himself giving him guidance.

"You don't have to think too much. I just feel that the celestial phenomena will change drastically this year and there may be strange phenomena, so I am making preparations in advance." Jun Beiqi looked at Lin Zan's inquiring eyes calmly.

Lin Zhan nodded, reluctantly accepting Jun Beiqi's explanation, and then waved his hand generously and said, "It's good that we can think of going together. Anyway, time is running out, and I have more important things to do."

"You are so young, but you have a lot of things to do. I would like to ask you, is there anything more important than helping me?" Jun Beiqi asked with interest.

Lin Zhan chuckled. "Of course, it is to push the virtuous concubine to the position of queen and win the emperor's favor."

"The position of Queen is vacant, why do you set your sights on Concubine Xian and want to push her to the position of Queen?" Jun Beiqi walked aside and sat down, asking casually.

Lin Zhan sat opposite him and analyzed seriously. "The virtuous concubine has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She is many times better than the sinister and cunning Concubine Qin."

"Besides, the Concubine Xian has no children. If she stands on the same side as me, doesn't that mean she is also on the same side as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"If the virtuous concubine ascends to the throne of the empress, she will definitely help the crown prince with all her might. I think the crown prince will understand this."

With just a few simple words, Lin Zhan analyzed the situation in the harem thoroughly and clearly.

Concubine Qin has a son, Prince Heng Jun Beiyu, so she will definitely not help Jun Beiqi. If she becomes the queen, she will only push her son to the throne, and will become Jun Beiqi's strong rival instead.

"You do see things very clearly, but you are only six years old. How can you know everything about the palace situation so well? Sometimes I feel that you don't look like a six-year-old girl, but more like an adult."

Jun Beiqi was criticizing Lin Zhan with some ulterior motives, but Lin Zhan just laughed it off.

Afterwards, Lin Zan hurriedly left the pavilion, saying that she was hungry. Facing the cunning Jun Beiqi, she always felt that her inner thoughts would be seen through in the next second.

"Time is running out. We must help Concubine Xian regain the emperor's favor as soon as possible." Lin Zan said firmly.

In the next few days, Lin Zan took a leave from the Imperial Hospital and did not go to study medicine. Instead, he stayed in Kangfu Palace every day to watch Concubine Xian practice dancing.

Finally, hard work pays off. Three days later, Liu Qiuchan’s dance already had the charm of a stunning beauty.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Lin Zhan deliberately chose an opportunity to come to the imperial study, and cutely presented the flower cake she made to the emperor for tasting.

"Your Majesty's brother-in-law, this is the flower cake I made. It's super delicious." Lin Zhan showed a bright smile and said coquettishly, pulling the emperor's sleeve.

The emperor looked at her lovingly, then took the flower cake from the plate and took a bite. Sure enough, his eyes lit up and he nodded and said, "These flower cakes leave a lingering fragrance in your mouth and taste good."

"Your Majesty's brother-in-law, actually Zhan'er lied. This flower cake was not made by me, but by the Concubine Xian." Lin Zhan took advantage of this opportunity to deliberately mention Liu Qiuchan.

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Zhan in confusion and said, "It was Concubine Xian who did it, then why did you say you did it just now?"

"Because the virtuous concubine didn't let me say it, for fear that the emperor's brother-in-law would think that she was currying favor." Lin Zan immediately tilted his little head and said in a silly way.

Hearing her words, the emperor sighed in his heart, remembered the gentleness and obedience of the virtuous concubine, and decided to have dinner in Kangfu Palace that night.

Finally, the emperor was successfully led to Kangfu Palace, and Lin Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.

Intensive preparations were also being made inside Kangfu Palace. The emperor arrived as promised that night. When he stepped into the palace, he saw Liu Qiuchan wearing an exquisite dancing costume.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhan quietly retreated, leaving this moment to the Emperor and Concubine Xian.

Grand and elegant music sounded in the palace. Liu Qiuchan danced slowly, her movements graceful and smooth, as light as a startled swan and as graceful as a swimming dragon.

Such a completely different Concubine Xian, naturally attracted the Emperor to stay overnight in Kangfu Palace.

The next day, the news that Liu Qiuchan had regained the emperor's favor spread throughout the harem, and the armor in Concubine Qin's hand was broken by her.

"Your Majesty, I heard some lascivious music in Kangfu Palace yesterday. I'm sure that the virtuous concubine's return to favor must be related to this incident." Xing Yuan said cautiously.

Concubine Qin turned around and slapped her hard, gritting her teeth in anger. "Does this matter require you to remind me? She is really good at this."
