Lin Zhan's childish words and sincere expression instantly made the emperor laugh out loud, and he liked her even more.

"I never thought that you, at such a young age, would want to share my worries. If I rejected you, wouldn't it hurt your feelings? Since you want to go, then go to the southwest with the prince. I will instruct the prince to take good care of you."

The emperor rubbed Lin Zhan's hair lovingly, and the look on his face seemed that he loved Lin Zhan like his own daughter.

After getting the emperor's promise, Lin Zan's face was filled with smiles and he quickly told his senior brother the good news.

Qin Shang's face was a little serious. He glanced at Lin Zhan and said, "But the master won't let you go."

"Brother, the master doesn't allow me to go, but the emperor agreed, so I must go." Lin Zhan said with a smile, his fair little face full of pride.

Seeing her stubborn attitude, Qin Shang didn't know what to do, so he just said to Lin Zhan slowly, "Then don't complain about the hardship on your way to the southwest."

"Senior brother, what do you think of me? I'm not some spoiled young lady." Lin Zan happily ran back to Hanfang Pavilion and began to pack her luggage.

When Concubine Liu Qiuchan learned that Lin Zhan was going to such a far place in the southwest, she looked at Lin Zhan with heartache and said, "The southwest is remote and the people are barbaric. You are still young, so you must be careful when you go there."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will take good care of myself. During the time I am away from the palace, Your Majesty can continue to win over the Emperor according to the methods I taught you." Lin Zan said with a tense face.

Liu Qiuchan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled, then she touched Lin Zhan's forehead with her white finger. "You little bastard, the methods you gave me are really embarrassing."

"Oh, madam, it's not that easy to capture the emperor's heart. You also know that Concubine Qin is most likely to use those seductive tricks. If you don't treat her in her own way, you will be suppressed by Concubine Qin."

Lin Zan looked earnest in her words. She didn't want her support to be overthrown by her enemies after she returned to the palace from the southwest.

Hearing her words, Liu Qiuchan also threw away the faint sense of shame in her heart and nodded seriously. "Don't worry, I don't need a little girl like you to guide me on these matters."

"Dongxiang, bring me the thick clothes I prepared." As she said that, Dongxiang, the first-class palace maid beside her, brought a medium-sized package.

Liu Qiuchan warned Lin Zhan, "The further southwest you go, the colder the weather will be. I prepared some thicker clothes for you. You are young and weak, so don't let yourself get cold."

"These were all made for me by the Queen. They are so beautiful." Lin Zan was a girl after all, so how could she not like beautiful clothes? When she saw the colorful cloaks and thick cotton jackets, she immediately smiled with joy.

Liu Qiuchan looked at her with satisfaction and emotion, and truly treated her as her own sister. The relationship between the two became closer and closer.

Time flies, and the team heading to the southwest has begun to get ready.

Lin Zhan had an excited look on her face. This was the first time she left this cage-like palace after traveling here, so she was naturally very excited.

There were a total of five carriages in the convoy. Jun Beiqi sat alone in one carriage, and the remaining four carriages were occupied by some officials and imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Lin Zan and his master were sitting in the same carriage. At this time, the curtain was gently lifted, and a young eunuch in casual clothes said to Lin Zan with a smile on his face.

"Miss Lin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you to have a chat in the carriage." After the eunuch finished speaking, Lin Zhan's face froze for a moment, and then he subconsciously looked at his master.

Yuan Zheng, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes upon hearing the eunuch's words, glanced at Lin Zhan, and nodded gently. "Go, but be polite in front of the prince."

"Yes, Master." Lin Zan quickly bowed to his master and followed the young eunuch to the carriage in front.

The carriage that Jun Beiqi was riding in was the widest of all the carriages. When Lin Zhan lifted the curtain and walked in, he was shocked by the luxurious decoration inside.

The bottom of the carriage was covered with a thick layer of soft golden quilt. Walking on it felt like walking on clouds, making you feel like you are floating in the air.

Moreover, the soft pillows around the carriage were very comfortable to sit on. After Lin Zhan sat down, he felt unwilling to get up again.

In the center of the carriage was placed a small golden nanmu table, on which was a pot of tea and a few plates of steaming snacks, the aroma was very tempting.

However, Lin Zhan also saw Jun Beiqi's indifferent expression, so he quickly asked, "What does the Crown Prince want to talk to me about?"

"I'm tired, come here and massage my legs." Jun Beiqi stretched out his body, then lay on the soft pillow with his eyes closed.

Nani, he asked me to massage his legs, what kind of operation is this? Did he think of himself as a eunuch?

Lin Zhan kept complaining in his heart, and then said with a flattering smile, "I am small and weak, why don't you ask the eunuch accompanying you to massage your legs!"

"My body is not something that anyone can touch. Don't you want to help me relieve my fatigue?" Jun Beiqi opened his sharp eyes and instantly looked at Lin Zan.

Lin Zan's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't help it, because the man in front of him was his chance to turn things around.

Thinking of this, Lin Zan suppressed his reluctance, walked reluctantly to Jun Beiqi, half-knelt down, and pinched his legs.

The convoy slowly left the palace and headed southwest. The slight shaking of the carriage made Jun Beiqi's solemn expression slowly relax, and then he fell asleep.

After realizing that Jun Beiqi didn't make any sound, Lin Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up, lifted the curtain beside him and looked outside.

At this moment, the carriage had arrived at the suburbs. Not far away, there were overlapping mountains, lush grass and flying birds. The vibrant scene made Lin Zhan feel relaxed and happy.

"What a beautiful scenery! It's so gorgeous!" Lin Zan couldn't help but sigh.

But she didn't know that her inner thoughts were heard by Jun Beiqi who had just woken up.

Jun Beiqi, who was always vigilant, woke up immediately when Lin Zhan stopped what he was doing, but he still kept his eyes closed and did not move at all.

Then, listening to Lin Zan constantly sighing about the great country in his heart, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
