Lin Zhan opened her big, innocent eyes, fluttering her eyes in an adorable way, and spoke in a soft, childish voice, which was enough to wake up the emperor, who was not too stupid.

In the huge Pear Garden, there were different palace maids standing at different angles, but their statements were all the same, all ambiguously pointing out that the Queen was indeed suspected of pushing Concubine Qin.

But how could this be possible? Because in this small palace, whether Lin Zhan pushed the concubine, the maids in every corner said they did not see it.

Soon the emperor seemed to have thought of this, and his face became confused. Concubine Qin was also a smart person. Seeing the emperor sitting there hesitating and not ordering the punishment of the queen, she immediately cried even louder.

"Your Majesty, that is our child. There hasn't been a prince in the harem for many years. The Queen was jealous of me because she couldn't give birth to a legitimate son, so she did this cruel thing." Concubine Qin continued.

Just when Lin Zan was about to speak up to excuse Liu Qiuchan, Liu Qiuchan, who had been kneeling there, suddenly gestured to Lin Zan behind her, indicating her to stop talking.

This was a tacit understanding between the two people. After hesitating for a while, Lin Zan finally listened to Liu Qiuchan and shut up.

Afterwards, Liu Qiuchan took out her queen's manners and said to the emperor seriously, "Your Majesty, no matter what, as the head of the harem, I cannot escape responsibility for this matter. I am willing to be punished."

After the words fell, Lin Zan knelt behind with an incredible look on his face, not knowing why Liu Qiuchan suddenly made such a decision.

The emperor who was sitting above seemed to be relieved, his face suddenly turned cold, and he gave an order directly. "The queen has a bad moral character, she is confined to Kangfu Palace, and the management of the harem will be temporarily taken over by Concubine De."

Empress Defei, who had been oblivious to worldly affairs in Chaoxia Palace, was also summoned out because of Concubine Qin's miscarriage.

However, Concubine De just sat there without saying a word and had no sense of presence. It was only when the Emperor asked Concubine De to be in charge of the harem that Lin Zhan noticed her.

"Your Majesty, are you favoring the Queen? I have lost all my children. I want the Queen's life in exchange for my own." Concubine Qin opened her arms and grabbed towards Liu Qiuchan as if she was crazy.

The palace maids nearby hurriedly stopped Concubine Qin, and the emperor calmed her down with gentle words and led her into the inner hall.

The Imperial Guards also took Queen Liu Qiuchan back to Kangfu Palace and placed her under house arrest; even Lin Zan was unable to see her.

Lin Zhan returned to Hanfang Pavilion anxiously, and quickly wrote a letter to inform Jun Beiqi of what happened in the palace. Then he walked around in the room and said to Xiao Haizi next to him, "Did you really send the letter?"

"Don't worry, Miss. I have already sent the letter through the guards. I'm sure His Highness will know about it soon." Xiao Haizi said hurriedly.

Lin Zan was now extremely confused and had no idea what to do. After all, offspring were the most important thing in the palace. But Concubine Qin's miscarriage happened to involve Liu Qiuchan.

The Emperor also stands on the side of Concubine Qin. Although the Queen is only confined to the palace for now, it is unknown what will happen next.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing. In the original book, Concubine Qin never got pregnant again after giving birth to Jun Beiyu.

So Lin Zan had no idea about the fate of the baby in Concubine Qin's belly, and he didn't know that this child would actually bring down Liu Qiuchan.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was the next day. Lin Zan came to the gate of Kangfu Palace again to look for an opportunity, but was watched closely by the guards at the gate.

At this time, Jun Anqing trotted over, took Lin Zhan's hand and dragged her into the imperial garden.

"Tuanzi, I'm not in the mood to play with you now." Lin Zan said a little depressed, trying to shake off Jun Anqing's hand.

Jun Anqing said quickly. "I know you are worried about the Queen. My mother and my eldest brother are waiting for you in front."

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier?" Lin Zan quickly shook off Jun Anqing's hand and ran forward by himself.

Jun Anqing muttered a few words. "It was you who didn't give me a chance to speak just now." But after that, he still followed Lin Zhan.

The two of them arrived at the pavilion and found that Concubine De and Jun Beiqi were sitting inside the pavilion sipping tea, looking relaxed and comfortable, as if nothing had happened last night.

Lin Zhan hurried over and was about to say something when Empress Defei poured her a cup of tea in a graceful manner and said calmly, "Don't be anxious, sit down and have a cup of tea first."

"Empress De, how can I not be anxious? The Empress and I are like sisters. Now she is implicated in Concubine Qin's miscarriage and is confined to the palace. I don't know how the Emperor will deal with her next, and whether he will deprive her of her position as Empress."

Lin Zhan was in a state of confusion at the moment, and he blurted out the words hidden in his heart like a string of cannonballs, but he did not notice that the two people's expressions did not change at all.

After saying this, Lin Zhan felt relieved for a moment, and then he looked at the two of them anxiously.

"What Empress Defei means is that the Empress will be fine." Jun Beiqi couldn't bear to see Lin Zan getting anxious, so he kindly reminded her.

Lin Zhan was stunned, a little confused. "What does this mean?"

"What it means is that the emperor doesn't really want to punish the queen, and he also noticed that there was something wrong with Concubine Qin's miscarriage." Concubine De said with a smile.

Lin Zhan suddenly realized and said quickly, "That is to say, the emperor noticed something was wrong, but there is no evidence to prove the queen's innocence, so the queen is temporarily detained."

"You are right. The most important thing now is to find witnesses and material evidence that can prove the queen's innocence, so that the emperor can release the queen naturally." Jun Beiqi took a sip of tea and seemed to like the fragrance of the tea. The tough expression on his face softened.

After knowing that things had turned around, Lin Zhan slowly let out a breath, but still frowned and said, "But Madam Zhang and some concubines in the harem insist that it was the Queen who pushed Concubine Qin. What should we do?"

"It's okay. I believe that the Queen would never do such a thing. As long as the Queen is innocent, we can always find evidence to prove that the Queen did not do it. You don't need to worry." Empress Defei said with confidence in the Queen.

Her confidence instantly infected Lin Zan, making her determined to find evidence to prove the queen's innocence.

Afterwards, Lin Zan could finally sit in the pavilion and drink tea with peace of mind.
