When Jun Beiyu saw Taoist Wuxu speaking for him, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope and quickly shouted out his injustice.

"Father, I really have no intention of treason, nor have I thought of harming you, but I was deceived by the villain."

"I didn't know that the water was actually harmful. I just gave it to this quack to honor my father."

Things have come to this point, Jun Beiyu directly pushed everything onto the ghost mother, trying to clear himself of all blame.

When the emperor heard him say this, he frowned and said nothing. Taoist Wuxu, who was standing beside him, said softly, "Your Highness Prince Heng has a purple light shining on his head. He is a man of great fortune. I believe that Prince Heng has no intention of murdering the emperor."

After he finished speaking, the emperor fell into deep thought, as if he was really considering Taoist Wuxu's words.

Lin Zhan, who was sitting below, raised his eyebrows and looked at Taoist Wuxu in confusion. What did this old Taoist mean? He saved himself before, and now he wants to save Jun Beiyu.

Could it be that this old Taoist is a saint who would save anyone in distress?

Lin Zan was thinking about this in her heart, but she suddenly found that Taoist Wuxu was looking at her, as if he was saying something to her.

However, due to the distance, Lin Zan did not understand the meaning in Taoist Wuxu's eyes. He just snorted coldly and turned his head away.

The ghost mother did not want to be charged with murdering the emperor, so she quickly said that it was all Jun Beiyu's idea, and that the reason she was not caught by the imperial guards was because she was protected by Jun Beiyu.

The two people each held their own opinion, and the emperor didn't know who to believe for a moment. However, with Taoist Wuxu's words, the emperor finally did not put Jun Beiyu in jail.

However, Jun Beiyu was confined to the palace and guarded by the Imperial Guards. He was not allowed to go out without the emperor's order.

This made Lin Zan stunned, and he felt even more that the emperor's trust and respect for Taoist Wuxu had reached such a level.

"Such a good opportunity is wasted. Why does that old Taoist priest with a big nose always come out to do bad things?" Lin Zan said angrily while sitting on the chair.

Liu Qiuchan also found it strange. "Zhan'er is right. This Taoist Wuxu only appeared once when the emperor was young, but he occupies such an important position in the emperor's mind. It's really strange."

"Especially this Taoist Wuxu, he seems to be on Jun Beiyu's side. He is our enemy and we must get rid of him." Lin Zhan said gritting his teeth.

Speak of the devil, he will appear. The palace maid outside came to report that Taoist Wuxu wanted to see Lin Zan.

"See me, why do you want to see me?" Lin Zan felt very strange, but if she wanted to find out the real purpose of Taoist Wuxu, she had no choice but to go see him.

Under the cold moonlight, Taoist Wuxu stood there with an immortal demeanor and an upright posture, like a true immortal who had fallen into the mortal world.

However, due to preconceived notions, Lin Zhan did not have a favorable impression of him, so he walked over and said coldly, "Master, what do you want from me?"

"I guess Miss Lin is blaming me for meddling in other people's business." Taoist Wuxu turned his head with a smile and looked at Lin Zan with insight.

Lin Zhan was stunned, but he didn't hide it and nodded directly. "That's right, the Taoist priest helped me before and said that I was the chosen one. Now he is helping King Heng again. What is his intention?"

"What I said about you being the chosen one by heaven is indeed true. Your body is in ruins but your soul has disappeared, and a soul that flew from outer space has taken over this body. I am just following the will of heaven." Taoist Wuxu said slowly.

After these words were spoken, Lin Zhan froze in place for a moment, looking at the old Taoist priest in front of him in disbelief.

What was going on? Why did this old Taoist suddenly reveal his true identity?

Lin Zhan was a little flustered for a moment, but soon calmed down and looked at Taoist Wuxu with fiery eyes. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Miss Lin, don't panic. It was inevitable that you could come to this world, but this world has changed because of you. Some things cannot be forced, especially those whose fate has not yet ended. They cannot be killed, otherwise it will bring great disaster to the people of this world."

"That's all I have to say. I hope Miss Lin takes care of herself."

After Taoist Wuxu finished speaking, he didn't care whether Lin Zhan understood it or not, and left directly.

Such a bunch of inexplicable words gave Lin Zan a headache. What did it mean that people whose fate has not yet ended cannot be killed? Could it be that Jun Beiyu's halo as the protagonist has not completely disappeared?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhan returned to Hanfang Pavilion, bit his lip and finally made up his mind and said, "Since his fate is not over yet, I will slowly grind away his fate here."

After making up his mind, the first person Lin Zan wanted to deal with was Qin Shuang.

Because this time Lin Zhan could no longer tolerate Qin Shuang regaining the emperor's favor, she mixed hallucinogenic drugs into Qin Shuang's food.

At this moment, Qin Shuang was locked up in the palace by Queen Liu Qiuchan and was not allowed to go out because the Emperor's health had not yet fully recovered and he could not take care of her.

"Let me out quickly, you lowly slaves." No matter how noisy Qin Shuang made in the palace, the palace maids and eunuchs outside ignored her.

In the evening, the eunuch from the imperial kitchen brought food to Qin Shuang. Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him, Qin Shuang narrowed his eyes and said with distrust.

"You won't poison the food to harm me, right?"

As soon as the words came out, the eunuch delivering the food trembled with fear and knelt on the ground. "My lord, even if you give me ten times the courage, I would not dare to murder you."

Seeing the young eunuch being so respectful, Qin Shuang snorted with satisfaction, waved his hand, and told the young eunuch to get out.

After a whole day of hard work, Qin Shuang was hungry, so she used a silver needle to test the food to make sure it was not poisonous and then started eating. However, she didn't know that the poison Lin Zhan had given her could not be detected by the silver needle.

Moreover, Lin Zhan did not poison Qin Shuang with a large dose, but increased the amount of poison a little bit every day without letting Qin Shuang notice.

Ten days passed in a flash, and the emperor's health recovered. Today, he went to stroll in the imperial garden for a rare time, and happened to meet Qin Shuang who had just been released.

When Qin Shuang saw the emperor, his eyes lit up instantly. He wanted to step forward to pay his respects but suddenly froze in place, staring ahead with eyes wide open in horror.

"Queen Lin, no, no, aren't you dead?" Qin Shuang murmured, her body trembling with fear, looking in the direction of Liu Qiuchan.

At this time, the emperor and Liu Qiuchan naturally noticed Qin Shuang, and they walked towards her.

"Ah, no!" Qin Shuang's face showed horror and he ran away in fear.
