The words that Murong Hui said to Lin Zhan before he escaped were like a terrifying spider web, attacking Lin Zhan from all directions.
Being targeted by a pervert is a terrifying thing. Lin Zan was still uneasy until he returned to Furong Garden.
When Liu Qiuchan learned that Lin Zan had been rescued, she immediately stood at the gate of Furong Garden, looked at the dazed Lin Zan who got off the carriage, and hurried over.
"My dear Zan, you must have suffered a lot outside these days. Look at your face, it's thinner and your body is thinner." Liu Qiuchan said with heartache while pinching Lin Zan's increasingly plump face.
At this time, Concubine Qin also saw Si Xueyi staggering down from another carriage, and her brows immediately frowned. "Your Majesty, please open your eyes and speak. Compared to Xueyi, Miss Lin's face is so red that it's almost overflowing. I'm afraid she didn't suffer much."
After hearing her words, everyone's eyes fell on Si Xueyi again, and they couldn't help but be shocked.
Lin Zan's ruddy face and Si Xueyi's skinny body formed a sharp contrast. Everyone could see at a glance who had suffered during these days.
But Liu Qiuchan, who always doted on Lin Zhan, didn't care and raised her chin and said, "Zhan'er is the sister of the late Queen Lin. She is a royal daughter, and a lowly adopted daughter can't compare to her."
After these words were spoken, Si Xueyi's body shook even more due to the shock, giving people a pitiful feeling, but all the people present were women, and they really didn't care about her appearance.
The emperor knew that the two had returned, so he called them to the study in Furong Garden to comfort them. He felt even more distressed when he saw Si Xueyi's frail body almost fainting, and rewarded her with a lot of supplements.
"These gangsters have become more and more arrogant in recent years. They are truly lawless. I want to let them know that all under heaven are subjects of the emperor. I will order a wanted order for Murong Hui until he is caught." The emperor was furious and issued a wanted order for Murong Hui.
After leaving the study, Lin Zhan was dragged into the house by Liu Qiuchan, who asked someone to prepare a table of delicious food to calm her down.
"Zhan'er, you didn't suffer any humiliation these days when you were kidnapped by Murong Hui, right?" Liu Qiuchan asked Lin Zan cautiously.
Although Lin Zan is still young, he is over seven years old. A good reputation is very important. Lin Zan is also very grateful for Liu Qiuchan's concern.
So he quickly said, "Don't worry, sister. Murong Hui didn't do anything to me. Instead, he treated me well with delicious food and drinks. I just took it as a way to relax."
Seeing her optimistic and innocent look, Liu Qiuchan didn't know what to say, but she still doted on her and let her eat more.
After the emperor issued the wanted order, all the prefectures and cities became busy, searching for Murong Hui in various places.
In an inn, Murong Hui, who had changed his disguise, looked at the wanted poster in his hand and sneered. "Since this old emperor wants to see me, I naturally cannot let him down."
"Young master, please think twice." The woman in black was still sitting next to him.
Murong Hui slammed the wanted order in his hand on the table and said bluntly, "When has this young master ever thought twice? Go back and tell the old man that I'm going to the palace to play before returning."
After saying that, he left directly. The woman in black wanted to stop him, but in the end she just sighed softly and said nothing.
After Lin Zan and Si Xueyi were kidnapped, the emperor lost his enthusiasm for playing in Hibiscus Garden and quickly led them back to the palace.
It was already evening when they returned to the palace, but suddenly something happened that shocked everyone.
That was Murong Hui, the man the emperor had ordered to be wanted. He was standing at the gate of the palace in a carefree manner, announcing to the world that he was there. The scene made the emperor furious.
After all, the wanted criminal was standing at the gate of the palace, which was a great disrespect and provocation to the emperor.
The emperor immediately ordered the Imperial Guards to capture Murong Hui, and the news quickly spread throughout the palace.
"What? That Murong Hui actually walked into the trap and ran to the palace on his own." Lin Zan was a little unbelievable.
Bixia nodded. "Miss, this news is absolutely true, but I don't know why that person did this. Is he crazy?"
Hearing her words, Lin Zhan's mouth twitched. "He's not a lunatic, but maybe a pervert."
At the same time, Murong Hui was taken directly to the emperor's study and knelt in front of the emperor with iron chains on his feet.
"You are Murong Hui, the one who kidnapped Lin Zan and Si Xueyi." The emperor looked at Murong Hui in front of him with dignity.
Murong Hui was very natural, not showing any fear at all, and nodded slightly. "Yes, I am Murong Hui. I heard that the emperor was looking for me, so I came here."
Such arrogant words made the emperor furious, and he ordered the eunuch next to him to slap Murong Hui.
But at this moment, Murong Hui suddenly spoke sharply. "Your Majesty, calm down. Don't you want to know why I was able to escape from Hibiscus Garden, and why I was able to capture Lin Zhan and Si Xueyi so easily?"
As soon as these words came out, the emperor immediately raised his hand to tell the eunuch to stop, and asked Murong Hui, "What do you mean by this? Could it be that there is someone inside the palace who is supporting you?"
"The emperor is indeed a smart man, and the accomplice is none other than Lin Zan, whom I captured. It was she who let me go, and it was she who asked me to capture Si Xueyi." Murong Hui knelt there and spoke carelessly, pushing all the blame on Lin Zan.
The emperor was horrified and his face was full of suspicion. Half an hour later, Lin Zan was summoned to the main hall by the eunuch in charge, still confused.
At this moment in the main hall, Liu Qiuchan, Concubine Qin and the concubines from various palaces, as well as Jun Beiqi, the princes, Si Xueyi and others were all present. It was simply a grand gathering of all the characters in the original book.
When Lin Zhan saw this grand scene, her heart skipped a beat and she had a bad feeling. She also saw Murong Hui kneeling on the ground, giving her an extremely strange look.
That look was exactly the same as the one Murong Hui had when he abandoned his men and ran away.
Lin Zhan forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, put on a smile, and wanted to run to the emperor, but this time, the emperor's majesty was fully revealed.
"Bold Lin Zhan, do you know what crime you have committed?" The emperor shouted harshly, scaring Lin Zhan and causing him to tremble.
Liu Qiuchan sat there with an ugly look on her face, but she still pleaded for Lin Zhan. "Your Majesty, there must be something else going on here. Zhan is innocent."
