Lin Zan said it nonchalantly, but she didn't know that her words had caused a storm in the hearts of the three men.

"Li Zi, you wouldn't fall in love so soon, would you? Wake up, you are only eight years old!" Jun Anqing looked heartbroken.

Jun Beiqi's voice was unusually cold. "Why, are you trying to imitate Princess Shan Huai?"

Princess Shanhuai was a very famous princess in the history of Northern Qi. Legend has it that she was extremely lustful and kept countless male favorites in her mansion.

Hearing Jun Beiqi's words, Lin Zhan quickly shook his head and explained, "That's not what I meant. You really misunderstood me. I have a use for this man."

Since there is no way to stop the plot from continuing to develop, why don’t I cultivate a love rival for Jun Beiyu.

Lin Zhan thought so in his heart, and Jun Beiqi's eyes narrowed slightly. "What use do you have for this man?"

"I have learned a lot of medical skills from my master, and I always feel like trying my hand. This man looks seriously injured, so I want to try to see if I can cure him." Lin Zan said to Jun Beiqi without blinking an eye while lying.

Jun Beiqi smiled without comment, and the profound meaning implied in that smile made Lin Zhan feel uneasy.

In the end, Jun Beiqi and Jun Anqing took Lin Zan into Jun Beiqi's luxurious carriage on the grounds that a single man and a single woman could not stay in the same carriage, while Murong Hui was thrown into the luggage carriage.

"I am the young master of Baitong Pavilion, but I am treated like this by others." Murong Hui said gritting his teeth, but the poisonous insect in his body was acting up at the moment, so he could not use his martial arts and could only compromise temporarily.

In the evening, everyone finally arrived at Furong Garden. The emperor was exhausted after the long journey, so he exempted everyone from paying their respects and went to rest first.

Lin Zhan also trotted to the carriage carrying the luggage, but unexpectedly saw Si Xueyi holding a bowl of water and carefully feeding it to Murong Hui.

"Thank you very much, young lady. I don't know your name. Today, you gave me the water. I, Murong Hui, will definitely repay you in the future." Although Murong Hui was tied up like a dumpling, her charm was still there. She nodded slightly and said to Si Xueyi.

Si Xueyi still looked pure and beautiful, like the bright moon in the sky that made people admire her. She said with a serene smile on her face. "I don't expect you to repay me, but I feel sorry for you and can't bear to see you treated like this."

"Don't worry, I will find a chance and plead with the Queen to let you go."

Si Xueyi's words moved Murong Hui deeply again, while Lin Zan stood not far away, watching their affectionate appearance and thinking in his heart.

If the current plot continues to develop, it will probably not be long before Murong Hui becomes completely devoted to Si Xueyi.

In the original book, Murong Hui is gloomy, capricious, and a little paranoid, which is why Lin Zan chose him.

As long as she is given some guidance, Murong Hui might bring Si Xueyi back to Baitong Pavilion and imprison her. At that time, there would be no plot of Jun Beiyu and Si Xueyi joining forces to defeat Jun Beiqi.

In this way, Lin Zhan can naturally escape from the original plot smoothly and will not have such a tragic ending.

Thinking of this, Lin Zan nodded in agreement, decided not to disturb the two people's relationship, and quietly retreated.

Lin Zhan returned to the carriage and saw Jun Beiqi standing there, seemingly waiting for her, so she smiled widely and ran over. "The prince is waiting for me."

Jun Beiqi did not answer her question, but stretched out his hand, held Lin Zhan's small hand, and the two walked forward.

There are only a few courtyards in Furong Garden, so Lin Zan and Liu Qiuchan live in the same courtyard this time.

Liu Qiuchan was standing at the door, looking out. Seeing Jun Beiqi and Lin Zhan coming together, she breathed a sigh of relief and said to Lin Zhan with some complaints, "You little girl, you disappeared as soon as you got off the carriage. You scared me."

"I'm sorry, sister. It's my fault." Lin Zan stuck out her tongue mischievously, knowing that Liu Qiuchan was not really blaming her.

Liu Qiuchan was amused by her mischievous look and wanted to take Lin Zan from Jun Beiqi's hand, but she didn't expect Jun Beiqi's hand to move aside and she just dodged it.

"It just so happens that I have something to discuss with the Queen." Jun Beiqi suddenly said to Liu Qiuchan in a serious tone.

Liu Qiuchan was stunned for a moment, but still nodded. Everyone walked in together. After Lin Zan walked in, he tactfully sat aside and ate pastries without interrupting their conversation.

After learning the lessons of his previous life, Jun Beiqi knew that he should not fight alone anymore. Even though he disdained to use those despicable means in private, he had to use them now.

"Your Majesty, do you remember that a year ago, your father ordered the repair of the Qinghe River embankment?" Jun Beiqi said straight to the point.

Liu Qiuchan nodded, "I do have some impression of this, but I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought it up. I heard that the Qinghe River embankment has been repaired, so this matter is over."

"That's because I received a secret report not long ago that the magistrate of Qinghe County embezzled more than half of the money for repairing the river bank. The rainy season will arrive soon. Do you know what will happen then, Queen?"

Jun Beiqi spoke in a low voice, causing Liu Qiuchan's expression to change suddenly, and Lin Zhan, who was sitting nearby eating pastries, couldn't help but slow down his chewing.

Riverbank, rainy season, Lin Zan suddenly had an idea in his mind and remembered something. Finally, he looked up at Jun Beiqi in disbelief, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him.

Jun Beiqi also noticed Lin Zhan's gaze, but he didn't care. Instead, he continued to talk to the Queen. "I can give your mother's family a chance. It depends on whether you want to seize it."

After finishing speaking, Jun Beiqi stood up, bowed to Liu Qiuchan who was a little dazed, and then slowly retreated. Before leaving, he looked at Lin Zan meaningfully.

Only after Jun Beiqi left did Liu Qiuchan slowly exhale. She sat there in silence with a serious look on her face. The atmosphere was extremely solemn.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Zhan suddenly spoke in a baby voice, "Sister, you should now confirm whether you want to officially join the prince's camp."

After the words fell, Liu Qiuchan showed a bitter smile. Although the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, the former dynasty and the harem were always connected in a subtle relationship.

Liu Qiuchan also understood what Lin Zhan said, she gritted her teeth and said, "Zhan'er, haven't we been tied to the Crown Prince for a long time?"
