Si Xueyi tried hard to break free from the palace maids' restraints, but to no avail. She could only watch Lin Zhan apply the mud-like ointment on her body.

Soon, Si Xueyi's arms and legs were all covered with white ointment. Lin Zhan said, "Sister Xueyi, please don't let me down. This ointment I prepared can both whiten and nourish the skin. Your skin will be moisturized after applying it."

"But this ointment has a drawback, which is that you must not wash it off halfway. You must apply it for two hours. Sister Xueyi has to work hard during this process."

Lin Zhan said with a smile on his face. Si Xueyi knew that she couldn't resist in Hanfang Pavilion, so she had to ask in a deep voice, "What if I can't apply it for two hours?"

"Oh, if it's less than two hours, there might be some bad consequences. You will have to bear the consequences at your own risk!" Lin Zhan said with a smile, then waved his hand, asking the palace maids to let go of Si Xueyi.

Si Xueyi looked at the white ointment on her body and felt angry but she couldn't wash it off.

And after applying the ointment, Lin Zan really no longer paid attention to Si Xueyi. Instead, with a smug little face, he went straight to the Imperial Hospital for class.

"Miss, are you okay?" Haitang hurried over and carefully helped Si Xueyi up.

Si Xueyi gnashed her teeth in hatred, angrily shook off the ointment on her arm, and then said to Haitang, "Go get me some water quickly, I want to wash this sticky stuff off my body."

After the words fell, Haitang naturally did not dare to slack off. She quickly went to get some water and asked Si Xueyi to wash off the ointment on her body.

As for what Lin Zhan said just now, Si Xueyi didn't believe it at all. She thought that this was Lin Zhan's way of taking revenge on her. Moreover, after washing off the ointment, many painful and itchy small bumps appeared on her arms and calves at a speed visible to the naked eye, so she went to Concubine Qin to complain angrily.

After learning about this, Concubine Qin chuckled. "Interesting, this is Lin Zhan himself who brought his own handle to the door. Let's go to the Queen Mother to make the decision for us. I think this time, Liu Qiuchan will never protect Lin Zhan again."

Afterwards, a group of people came to Kangfu Palace in a mighty manner, but they did not expect that the person they wanted to sue was actually in Kangfu Palace at that moment.

Lin Zan, who was supposed to go to the Imperial Hospital for classes, inexplicably appeared in Kangfu Palace at this moment. When he saw Concubine Qin bringing Si Xueyi, whose arms were covered with small red pimples, he was not panicked at all, but looked confident.

"Ms. Lin is here too." Concubine Qin narrowed her eyes and said to Lin Zan.

Lin Zhan was still as innocent as usual, smiling and nodding. "The Concubine Qin came to the Queen's residence with such a large force, it seems that she has something very important to say."

"It's not an important matter, but I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes, so I came here to seek justice for my niece." Concubine Qin raised the corner of her mouth and sneered.

At this time, Liu Qiuchan looked at Si Xueyi and saw that her exposed arms were covered with small red pimples. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Miss Si, what's wrong?"

"Empress, you must make the decision for me!" Si Xueyi quickly knelt down with a sad look on her face.

Liu Qiuchan was stunned for a moment, but soon revealed a fair look and said, "Ms. Si, please don't be anxious. Tell me what happened and why you want me to make the decision for you?"

"Miss Lin suddenly applied some unknown ointment on my body this morning. Not long after, a painful and itchy rash broke out on my body. Miss Lin, why did you want to harm me?" Si Xueyi said accusingly to Lin Zhan who was sitting there leisurely eating cakes.

As for the other protagonist of this incident, Lin Zan, his expression was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing Si Xueyi's accusation against him.

Even Liu Qiuchan cast a somewhat surprised look at Lin Zhan. "You did all this."

"Yes, I applied the ointment on her." What was unexpected was that Lin Zan nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Concubine Qin, who was sitting next to her, sneered and said to Liu Qiuchan, "Empress, now the truth has been revealed. Lin Zhan is vicious and poisoned others at such a young age. He has disturbed the discipline of the harem and should be punished."

"This..." Liu Qiuchan showed an indecisive expression, while Concubine Qin glared at her and said aggressively. "Why, does the Queen want to protect Lin Zhan? The Queen must not forget that Lin Zhan personally admitted to poisoning my niece."

After the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire queen's bedroom became a little solemn, and at this moment, Lin Zhan's cheerful giggle suddenly resounded throughout the palace.

"Empress Qin, please don't throw dirty water on me so quickly. I admit that I applied ointment on Si Xueyi's body, but I did not admit that I poisoned her." Lin Zan shrugged his shoulders innocently and said with his hands spread out.

Concubine Qin was stunned, and her tone became more serious. "Why, do you want to go back on your word? Just now you clearly admitted that you were the one who applied the ointment to Xue Yi's body. Now Xue Yi's arm has become like this, and you still say that it was not you who poisoned her."

"Oh, this is really a headache. Maybe what I said is too profound and Concubine Qin doesn't understand. Then I will explain it in a simpler way." Lin Zan tilted his head cutely, then jumped off the couch and came in front of Si Xueyi.

For some reason, when Si Xueyi saw Lin Zan coming over, she shrank back in fear.

"Miss Si, I remember when I applied the ointment to you, I told you that it was used to whiten and nourish the skin. As long as it is applied for two hours, it will be beneficial and harmless. Now the time is not up. If it is not up, I also told you that you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"

Lin Zhan stood in front of Si Xueyi and spoke with reason, while Si Xueyi raised her head with a flash of resentment in her eyes, "Miss Lin, you are saying that this painful and itchy rash on my body is all because of me."

"Of course. After all, I have already reminded you that you must wait two hours before washing it off. Who told you to wash it off so impatiently? Now it has become like this, and there is nothing I can do."

Lin Zan is now like a little scoundrel, and she had already explained this to Si Xueyi in advance. But it was Si Xueyi who ignored her reminder and washed off the ointment on her body without permission.

Now Si Xueyi has this small red rash on her body. In a nutshell, it has nothing to do with Lin Zan.
