At this moment, Qin Shuang's spirit was close to collapse. She screamed frantically that it was not her, and ran into the inner hall.

"Your Majesty, I didn't hear you wrong just now, Concubine Qin said that Queen Lin's death was caused by her. Oh my God, how sad Zhan'er must be!"

Liu Qiuchan pretended to be extremely surprised at this moment, with a sad expression on her face.

After her reminder, the emperor naturally would not let Qin Shuang go. He strode directly into the inner hall, pinched her chin, and questioned her about the cause of Queen Lin's death.

This time, Qin Shuang finally did not hide anything and told the whole truth about what happened that year.

It turned out that Qin Shuang met Queen Lin on the banks of Liuzi River that year. When she saw her young and beautiful appearance, she became jealous.

So he sent away the palace maids beside him, and while they were walking by the river, Qin Shuang took advantage of Queen Lin's inattention and pushed her into the lake.

He thought he was just teaching Queen Lin a lesson, but he never expected that after Queen Lin fell into the water, she became weak and infected with a serious illness, and died directly.

After learning the truth of the matter, the emperor flew into a rage and kicked Qin Shuang to the ground. He pointed at her and said with a trembling voice, "You vicious woman, come here, banish Qin Shuang to the cold palace, completely close the palace door, let her die of old age in the cold palace, and I will never see her again in this life."

Qin Shuang was stunned when she finished speaking. Sealing the palace gate meant that she would have to spend the rest of her life in the cold palace and would never have the chance to regain favor.

The desire for life made Qin Shuang crawl to the emperor's feet, and she said with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I was just obsessed at the time, and I didn't mean it. Your Majesty, please spare my life for the sake of my service to you for more than ten years."

"Qin Shuang, the emperor spared your life, but does that mean Queen Lin should die? You are malicious and have been stirring up trouble in the harem. You were jealous and framed the favored concubines. I have never wronged you in any of these things."

Liu Qiuchan said this in a proud manner, and this also reminded the emperor.

Thinking about the troubles Qin Shuang had caused in the harem over the years, the emperor finally made up his mind and locked her up in the cold palace despite her pleas.

The 31st year of Northern Qi.

Qin was completely disliked by the emperor, who ordered her to be imprisoned in the cold palace, with the palace gates closed and she died of old age in the cold palace.

"After so many years, I have finally waited for this day."

Lin Zan stood in Guantian Palace, looking at the portrait of Queen Lin, muttering to himself.

Queen Lin’s revenge was achieved, and now Lin Zan only had one last wish left.

Upon learning that his mother was locked up in the cold palace and the palace gates were directly closed, Jun Beiyu was extremely anxious in Prince Heng's mansion, but he could do nothing.

Although Jun Beiyu survived because of Taoist Wuxu, he also knew that his current situation was very dangerous. If he went to his father to beg for mercy now, he might even lose his life.

"My Lord, you must find a way to rescue my aunt from the cold palace."

Si Xueyi came to the study crying, and Jun Beiyu felt annoyed as soon as he saw her.

When things got to this point, Jun Beiyu realized that a woman's beauty was useless, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away. What he needed most now was tremendous power.

But Si Xueyi is just an adopted daughter of the Qin family, a pawn, and is completely useless.

Thinking of this, Jun Beiyu naturally had no good face towards Si Xueyi. He looked at her coldly and said, "Shut up and stop crying. It makes me upset."

The sudden scolding made Si Xueyi stand there in a daze, and she looked at Jun Beiyu timidly and said, "My Lord, what should we do about my aunt's matter?"

"I have my own way. Just stay in the room and don't cause trouble for me." Jun Beiyu said coldly, waving his hand impatiently, asking Si Xueyi to leave.

Such an attitude naturally made Si Xueyi very disappointed. She bit her lip and prepared to leave.

But just when Si Xueyi opened the door and was about to leave, Jun Beiyu seemed to suddenly change his mind and called her again.

"Do you really want to rescue my mother?" Jun Beiyu said to Si Xueyi in a tentative tone.

Si Xueyi immediately turned her head and nodded. "Your Majesty, as long as I can rescue my aunt, I can do anything."

After he finished speaking, Jun Beiyu seemed very satisfied, he stood up and walked in front of Si Xueyi. His slender jade-like fingers slowly stroked her face, flashing a gleam of light.

"I am very satisfied with your loyalty. Now there is only one way to rescue my mother. It depends on whether you are willing to do it." Jun Beiyu slowly bent down and whispered a few words in Si Xueyi's ear.

Si Xueyi's face became more and more surprised, but for the sake of her future life, she finally gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement.

In Kangfu Palace, Liu Qiuchan laughed happily.

"After so many years, I finally got rid of my old enemy Qin Shuang. I am so happy."

Seeing her so happy, Lin Zhan also smiled comfortably. "Sister, you will have no enemies in the harem from now on. Now you can give birth to the baby in your belly with peace of mind."

"You are right, but didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say that he would come to the palace today? Why hasn't he come yet?" Liu Qiuchan said puzzledly while stroking her belly.

The events that happened in the past two days made the emperor even more disappointed with Jun Beiyu. He demoted him to a commoner and placed even more trust in the crown prince.

Liu Qiuchan looked at Lin Zhan who was sitting there in silence and said half-jokingly, "After all, some people can't wait to meet His Royal Highness, right?"

Hearing this teasing remark, Lin Zhan's cheeks flushed, and he glanced at Liu Qiuchan in a reproachful manner. "Sister is making fun of me again."

After she finished speaking, Liu Qiuchan laughed again. Now she was completely sure that there was indeed love between Jun Beiqi and Lin Zan.

Jun Beiqi did enter the palace today, but was taken to a hidden room by a little eunuch.

"Are you sure the emperor wants to meet this prince here?" Jun Beiqi narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed something wrong.

The young eunuch turned around and nodded calmly. "Your Highness, please wait here."

After saying this, the young eunuch quickly walked out the door and locked it.

When he heard the sound of the door being locked, Jun Beiqi did not panic at all, but his face was cold.

Moreover, Jun Beiqi had already noticed that there seemed to be someone on the bed behind him, and a pair of hands as soft as cream gently lifted the veil in front of the bed.

The soft voice of Wu Nong suddenly rang out. "Your Highness, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

After saying that, she gently hooked her hands around Jun Beiqi, and an ambiguous atmosphere instantly emerged.
