Lin Zhan took Liu Qiuchan's hand and sat down beside her, then said sincerely, "Sister, I'm sorry, I can't stay in the palace with you. I have avenged my great hatred, and I want to live my own life."

"I yearn for freedom and don't want to stay in the palace. This is not the life I want. Life is short, I have to pursue my dreams, right?"

Lin Zhan's words made Liu Qiuchan's eyes red, and she nodded with tears in her eyes. "It's my fault. I shouldn't be a stumbling block on your road."

"Since Zhan'er wants to leave the palace, I will naturally support him with all my strength." Liu Qiuchan said, and then asked someone to bring a lot of gold bills and force them into Lin Zhan's hands.

Looking at the large amount of gold notes in his hand, Lin Zhan was stunned for a moment, then quickly declined, "Sister, you know I never do anything without confidence. I still have some property outside the palace, so I don't have to worry about money."

How could Lin Zhan not have set up her own business outside the palace over the years? She had already thought of her own way out.

"Take it. If you leave the palace, this is all I can do. Without my protection, you must take care of yourself." Liu Qiuchan's voice trembled a little. After so many years of getting along, she and Lin Zan naturally have a deep relationship.

Even though she was reluctant to let Lin Zhan leave, Liu Qiuchan had no choice but to let go at this moment.

Because she knew that Lin Zhan was a bird that yearned for freedom, and the big cage of the palace could not hold her after all.

In order to avoid the sadness of parting, Liu Qiuchan left the gold note and left. Lin Zan couldn't help but cry.

Seeing that it was about to get dark, Lin Zhan cheered up, wiped away her tears, and prepared to leave the palace before dark, find an inn to stay in first, and then make plans for the future.

"Miss, I will go with you." Bixia, who was standing aside, said firmly.

Lin Zhan nodded. Bixia had been taken care of by him since she was a child, and she couldn't leave her anymore. So the two of them left the palace together.

Inside the carriage, Lin Zhan opened the curtain and looked back. The towering imperial palace was like a giant beast crawling in the darkness, and she finally walked out of the beast's mouth.

At this moment, Lin Zhan felt more relaxed than ever before. She found an inn and she and Bixia stayed there temporarily. At night, she changed into men's clothes.

"Miss, why do we have to wear men's clothes? It's so awkward." Bixia didn't know what Lin Zan was going to do, but she still listened to her and put on men's clothes.

Lin Zhan finally got his freedom, so naturally he didn't want to waste even a minute of it. He took Bixia's hand and went to the night street.

The so-called night street is equivalent to a modern version of a night market, with various small vendors setting up stalls along the street, offering a wide variety of food and toys.

Lin Zhan's eyes lit up when she saw these. Soon her hands were stuffed with all kinds of snacks. She ate so much that her mouth was drooling. She felt so happy and comfortable.

But at this moment, a person appeared in front of her, blocking her way. Lin Zan looked up and was stunned.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Zan said guiltily.

Seeing her cold face, Jun Beiqi grabbed her hand and walked away from the crowd. Bixia was about to follow him but was stopped by the guards around Jun Beiqi.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished eating yet." Lin Zhan was dragged into a dark alley by Jun Beiqi. Lin Zhan was not angry and was still eating with big mouthfuls.

Seeing Lin Zhan's look, Jun Beiqi felt a little depressed and didn't know what to say.

"It turns out that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be in such a good mood to go shopping." Lin Zan smiled happily and did not notice anything wrong with Jun Beiqi.

Jun Beiqi sighed, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wiped the oil stains on the corners of Lin Zhan's mouth, and said in a deep voice, "Where are you going after you leave the palace?"

"Of course, it's to travel around the world." Lin Zan said without hesitation, his eyes shining.

Jun Beiqi snorted coldly. "You want to leave Shangjing and leave me."

After the words fell, Lin Zhan finally realized that something was wrong, blinking his innocent eyes and asking curiously. "Of course, if you want to travel around the world, you naturally have to leave Shangjing. The prince can't leave the capital at will, so naturally he can't go with me."

Hearing her matter-of-fact words, Jun Beiqi's face became even uglier, and his color almost became the same as the surrounding night.

Jun Beiqi suddenly stepped forward and trapped Lin Zan between his arms.

Lin Zhan, who was being pushed against the wall, finally stopped what he was doing, holding the snacks in both hands and said awkwardly, "What are you doing, Your Highness? Do you want to eat some too?"

As he spoke, Lin Zan hesitantly moved the snack in his hand in front of Jun Beiqi.

But Jun Beiqi didn't even glance at him, instead he stared at Lin Zhan with his eyes sharp, and spoke word by word. "I won't let you leave."

Lin Zhan came to his senses and immediately said with his neck stiff. "Why? I want to leave and no one can stop me."

"Just because I'm the crown prince, I still need you." Jun Beiqi said the last sentence with a somewhat dim voice.

But Lin Zhan still heard it, and said with a curled lip, "Your Highness the Crown Prince really thinks highly of me. Besides, my great revenge has been avenged, and I have nothing to worry about, so of course I have to leave here."

"Do you really have no attachment to Shangjing? Besides, my position as the crown prince is not yet secure, and I need to compete with Jun Beiyu. I need you, do you understand?"

Jun Beiqi's voice became louder, and Lin Zan thought to himself that he was being used as a tool.

This made Lin Zhan's tone suddenly change bad, and he pushed Jun Beiqi away and said righteously, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I have nothing to help you with."

After saying this, Lin Zhan planned to leave, and she was right. The plot in the original book has now completely deviated from its original trajectory.

So Lin Zan didn’t know what would happen next. As an ordinary person, there was really nothing she could do to help Jun Beiqi.

Jun Beiqi naturally heard these words in his heart. He immediately became furious and chased after Lin Zan and pulled her into his arms. The two of them looked into each other's eyes.

"Lin Zhan, I know what you are thinking right now, but no matter what your reasons are, I will not let you go."

Jun Beiqi said this seriously and earnestly. In the busy street, the two people looked at each other as if no one was around, as if everything around them didn't exist.

Only two hearts are gradually approaching each other, and the beating sounds are beginning to synchronize.

Lin Zhan stared at Jun Beiqi and said, "Your Highness, do you want to turn me into your puppet?"

"She's not a puppet, she's my sweetheart." Jun Beiqi finally expressed his feelings and hugged Lin Zhan in his arms.
