Lin Zhan pondered the plot of the original book in his mind, then smiled slightly, finished the pastry in his mouth in a few bites, and patted the residue on his hands.

"Sister Bixia, is Prince Heng still kneeling at the door of the imperial study?"

Bixia shook her head gently and said softly, "Prince Heng has now been imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor. Except for Concubine Qin, no one in the court dares to plead for Prince Heng."

"Oh, really? Then he is really pitiful." Lin Zan said casually and turned back to the room.

After they left, a figure flashed out from the corner. That person was none other than Si Xueyi who had been eavesdropping.

Si Xueyi bit her lip, then seemed to have made up her mind and quickly left Hanfang Pavilion.

"They walked away really fast." Lin Zhan saw the whole scene from the window, but didn't say much.

In the evening, Dongxiang, the chief maid in the palace of Concubine Xian, came to ask Lin Zan to go to Kangfu Palace.

Lin Zhan naturally would not refuse to wrap himself tightly. He came to Kangfu Palace with a heater in his hand. As soon as he lifted the curtain and went in, he saw Liu Qiuchan walking towards him in a hurry.

"Zhan'er, you should know that the emperor has confined Concubine Qin to the palace." Liu Qiuchan's face was a little excited, a kind of joy that could not be suppressed at all.

Lin Zhan smiled innocently, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Madam, of course I know. Madam, you called me here, probably to ask me something."

"You little idiot, you know everything." Liu Qiuchan smiled, then took Lin Zan's little hand and sat down on the warm couch.

Lin Zan is now getting closer and closer to Liu Qiuchan, so she naturally relaxed a little. She took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the warm couch. She felt a warm air flowing into her whole body from bottom to top, and she couldn't help but let out a long, comfortable sigh.

"I know you have a cold body, so I had this warm bed heated up specially to prevent you from getting cold." Liu Qiuchan looked at her with concern.

Lin Zhan nodded with a smile, picked up the cakes on the table without hesitation, and ate them like a little hamster while saying in a baby voice, "The opportunity I told the queen about before has come now."

"Really? That's great. If I can ascend to the throne, I will protect you and make sure you stay safe in the palace for the rest of your life." Liu Qiuchan had waited for so long, and the opportunity finally came. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say.

Lin Zhan lowered her eyes to look at the pastries on the table. She seemed to be staring at the pastries with salivation, but her mind was working rapidly. This time, she wanted to personally push the Concubine Xian, whom she trusted, to the position of Queen.

Early the next morning, news came from Mingde Palace that the confined Concubine Qin was crying and making a fuss, and even threatened to commit suicide in order to see the emperor.

Because the emperor was overwhelmed by the noise, Liu Qiuchan made some nourishing soup and came to the imperial study room and said affectionately, "Your Majesty must have been worried these days. I feel very distressed. I wonder what I can do to relieve your worries."

"I'm sure you've heard about Concubine Qin's affairs. I'm feeling very upset, so I'll leave many matters in the harem to you. Keeping the harem peaceful means you can relieve my worries." The emperor's words were very clear. He wanted Liu Qiuchan to deal with Concubine Qin.

At this time, Liu Qiuchan's face showed a look of embarrassment, and she stood there hesitantly. The emperor waited for a long time but saw no answer from her, so he looked to the side with suspicion.

"Xian Fei, what's wrong with you?" The emperor finally couldn't bear the doubts in his heart anymore and asked.

Liu Qiuchan bit her lip, then knelt down and apologized. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really can't do anything about Concubine Qin's affairs."

Hearing her words, the emperor showed a hint of surprise on his face and asked, "Why?"

"It's not that I didn't control Concubine Qin, but Concubine Qin said that I was a concubine like her, and although I was granted the position of assisting in the management of the six palaces by the emperor, I was not the real queen after all, and I had no right to control her."

After Liu Qiuchan finished speaking with a hint of sadness in her tone, a look of grief appeared on her face and tears fell from the corners of her eyes, which made the emperor feel very distressed.

In addition, the emperor had originally intended Liu Qiuchan to inherit the throne, but because Queen Lin had passed away not long ago, he was reluctant to mention it.

It has been some time since Queen Lin passed away, and coupled with what happened to Prince Heng, the Emperor's dissatisfaction with Concubine Qin has gradually accumulated.

Therefore, the emperor took the initiative to stand up and helped the virtuous concubine up, saying affectionately, "I have wronged you. You are virtuous and tolerant, so you naturally deserve the position of queen."

After hearing this, Liu Qiuchan was naturally overjoyed, but she pretended to be terrified. "Your Majesty, am I really worthy of sitting in that position? I am afraid."

"Don't be afraid. I will support you. The position of queen belongs to you." The emperor said in a decisive tone. Liu Qiuchan quickly snuggled in his arms, and the two of them were very affectionate.

After coming out of the imperial study, Liu Qiuchan looked at the scorching sun outside and felt the dark cloud in his heart gradually dissipate.

Soon, the emperor drafted an edict to enthrone Liu Qiuchan as the queen. When the news spread in the harem, everyone was shocked. They did not expect that the battle between Concubine Xian and Concubine Qin would be decided so quickly.

However, everyone also knew that after what happened to Prince Heng, Jun Beiyu, the Emperor had already disliked Concubine Qin, so the position of Queen would sooner or later belong to Concubine Xian.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, many concubines in the harem naturally turned to the side of Concubine Xian like fence-sitters.

But at this time, Concubine Xian refused to see any of the concubines who came to her for help.

At this moment, the extremely noble Consort Xian was peeling an apple in the harem, and then she handed it to Lin Zhan. "You clever little thing, you are right again. I don't know how you grasp these opportunities in your mind."

"Maybe it's my sister's blessing." Lin Zan said with a smile, then picked up the apple and took a bite.

Speaking of the deceased Queen Lin, Liu Qiuchan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, then looked at Lin Zhan and said, "Zhan'er, from today on, are you willing to recognize me as your sister? I will treat you as my own sister, okay?"

"That's great, sister." Lin Zhan called out sweetly without any hesitation.

Liu Qiuchan was so happy that her smile blossomed. The two sisters ate in the warm room like sisters, completely forgetting the cold weather outside.

"How ridiculous! I have been fighting with her for half my life, but in the end, that bitch sat on the throne of Queen." At this moment, in the extremely deserted Mingde Palace, Concubine Qin was half leaning on the couch with a pale face and a haggard appearance.
