After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing

"Lin Xi?"

Lin Yuanyue didn't expect that she would see Lin Xi in this ghost place. She gritted her teeth and was extremely reluctant, but she could only crawl in front of her and beg her.

"Lin Xi, please take me with you, sister. I beg you." Lin Yuanyue crawled at Lin Xi's feet.

She never thought that marrying the Ninth Prince would lead to her current situation.

Lin Xi squatted down, looked at Lin Yuanyue whose face was already rotten, and couldn't help asking: "This is inside the palace, how can I help you?"

Now she just wanted to beg Lin Xi, as long as they could get out of this hellhole, they would talk about it later.

The reputation is gone.

The marriage is off.

Her face is now ruined.

There is no hope in this life.

She now wanted to know whether there was really something wrong with the thing the holy monk gave her.

She was unwilling, really unwilling, but she begged Lin Xi now, saying: "Sister, please save me, I am your sister, your biological sister!"

Lin Xi looked at her with cold eyes. She slowly bent down and helped her up from the ground without saying anything. "Do you want to go out?"

Lin Yuanyue suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with hope, and she grabbed her arm tightly, saying in a trembling voice, "Sister, I want to go out. I really want to go out."

She still has a chance. As long as she gets out, she will have a chance to turn things around.

Lin Xi smiled, leaned close to her ear and asked, "What's going on with that monk following you and your mother?"

Lin Yuanyue's eyes were full of fear. She had never thought that Lin Xi had already discovered the holy monk. How could it be possible?

"Are you wondering when I found out?" Lin Xi asked. Then, she continued, "You, Xu, and Lin Hewen all believed what he said, and even wanted to kill me because of him."

Lin Yuanyue couldn't help but lean back, not even daring to touch Lin Xi. She now felt that Lin Xi was even more terrifying. "How did you know?"

She looked at Lin Xi in front of her, and never thought that she could endure so much. It was only now that she was in this situation that she told the matter. Only then did she understand her methods.

How could she not be scared?

"You and Xu did so many things in the mansion, how could I not see it." Lin Xi looked down at her and took out the box she had traded with the monk from her waist. "The anti-aging cream you used on Concubine Ruan was made from poisonous insects. If Concubine Ruan knew about this, would you be dead?"

Although Concubine Ruan hates her now, she can still spare her life. However, if she knew that it was she who used the poisonous insect on her, she would definitely die, and the Lin family would also be implicated.

"Do you dare to say it? If you tell others, you will die anyway." Lin Yuanyue looked indifferent. They would die together anyway.

"You will die, and some people in the Lin Mansion will die, but I will not die." Lin Xi spread out her hands, changed her expression, and said directly: "I am not Lin Hewen's daughter at all."

After hearing what Lin Xi said, Lin Yuanyue's expression did not change at all.

Not surprised at all.

Lin Xi had a smile on her face, but it was a very shallow smile.

As expected, they all knew, except for her, who was kept in the dark by the Gu.

Lin Xi had seen through it a long time ago. Lin Yuanyue now only wanted to get out and find the monk, but according to the information she had obtained, the monk had already run away without leaving any trace.

"If you can tell me the origins of that monk, I will naturally find a way to take you away. If you don't want to tell me, there is nothing I can do. Besides, your life is still in my hands."

Lin Xi knew that Lin Yuanyue was very good at choosing ways that would benefit herself.

"The holy monk appeared in my house when I was a child. When I was seriously ill, he told my mother that he could exchange my life for hers. Since my mother agreed to him, my health has been getting better and better. Later, my father also fell seriously ill and was also saved by the holy monk."

Lin Yuanyue spoke slowly, even closing her eyes and lowering her head. The expression on her face was still respectful to the holy monk. She paused and continued, "The holy monk also used the things in his hands to help my father get along well in the officialdom."

"So, you believe in him more and more?" Lin Xi asked. She had already seen that this group of people had blindly worshipped the monk.

"Yes. But the holy monk is..."

"I don't want to hear this. Do you know where he came from?"

"Huainan Prefecture." Lin Yuanyue continued, "He came from Huainan Prefecture. I heard him say before that there was someone he still missed in Huainan Prefecture."

It’s Huainan Prefecture again.

"You want to deal with the Holy Monk?" Lin Yuanyue raised her head and suddenly said this. An inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said in a dark voice: "You can't possibly beat the Holy Monk."

Lin Xi did not reply to her. He had already known what he wanted to know from her, and did not want to ask about other things.

Lin Xi simply lifted his legs and walked out.

Only the voice of Lin Yuanyue limping forward to beg her was left behind her.

"I also know..." She spoke too quickly, the wind blew into her mouth, and she coughed several times, "You must let me out."

I am now imprisoned by Concubine Ruan. How can she rescue me?

Lin Xi went out and saw Hua Meiren's car frame waiting outside the door. She walked straight to her car, stood beside the frame, handed it to her and said, "Give this thing to Concubine Ruan for a few months, and Concubine Ruan's face will naturally get better."

Hua Meiren stretched out her hand and took the object in her palm to play with it. Since getting married, her appearance has become much more mature, and even her personality has become more stable. "How can I trust you?"

"You can order someone to try it yourself. It won't hurt anyone anyway."

It would also be beneficial for the Ninth Prince if Concubine Ruan was favored. Moreover, her relationship with the Ninth Prince was not very good.

The two of them completed the transaction here and then separated.

Lin Xi watched her leave before turning around and following the palace maid towards the banquet.

······

······

This flower-viewing banquet was held in an open space connecting the outer courtyard to the outer street. The surrounding area was decorated with clusters of flowers, and many young students were sitting inside.

The harem was not involved, so there were very few nobles attending the palace banquet.

At the banquet, everyone sat in their seats skillfully under the guidance of the palace maids. Lan Linzhi, who was sitting at the end and looked out of place, kept staring at the door.

His palms were already sweating.

Lan Linzhi was very scared. He didn't know what this cup of his was, but it must be something bad given to him by the monk.

He knows his secrets.

This thing has to be done!

Lan Linzhi's hands were shaking and he could only hide under the table. His legs were numb from sitting cross-legged for so long, but he was so nervous that he didn't notice it at all.

"Mr. Lan, why are you here?" Lin Xi sat down next to him and looked at him naturally.

Lan Linzhi didn't expect Lin Xi to be beside him, and even sat down. He didn't realize that his smile was extremely unnatural, and could be considered twisted. "Miss Lin, it just so happened that someone else brought me here today."

Lin Xi smiled at Lan Linzhi, "I see. I didn't expect that men and women didn't sit separately today. It's fate that we can sit together."

When she said this, her eyes were still shining.

Lan Linzhi felt guilty and just nodded and responded casually, not daring to look Lin Xi in the eye.

The clearer Lin Xi's eyes were, the more guilty he felt.

In his life, he studied with his grandmother and had never done anything wrong until the monk knew his secret. He seemed to be able to control the darkest side of his heart and even brought it out to the maximum.

Lan Linzhi naturally understood that the man was coming for Miss Lin.

I don't know how Miss Lin had offended such a vicious and cruel person, but after much trouble, the invitation in my hand was signed by the Ninth Prince.

He also heard that Lin Xi was invited by Concubine Ruan.

From this, Lan Linzhi could already see that the monk could persuade the Ninth Prince to do things for him.

After a long silence, Lan Linzhi turned around and said to Lin Xi, "Miss Lin, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go back to the mansion and rest first?"

"Not really." Lin Xi said.

Since it is called a flower-viewing banquet, naturally there are many famous flowers placed around them.

His Majesty brought the Crown Prince to the scene in person, which was a testimony to the royal nobles enjoying themselves together with the people.

All of them prostrated themselves on the ground and bowed their heads, saying, "Your Majesty, forever and ever."

His Majesty and the Crown Prince have arrived, so Concubine Ruan will naturally also appear here with the Ninth Prince.

But no one expected that even the Empress Dowager would show up. She hadn't attended any banquet for many years.

No one had expected such a scene, not even the eunuch in charge of the banquet. He kept ordering people to refill the ice cubes for cooling. If the water got too cold or too hot, these servants would be in danger of losing their heads.

"This is just a flower-viewing banquet, there's no need to be restrained." His Majesty said.

He waved his hand, and the cramped atmosphere around them instantly relaxed a lot.

Lin Xi and Lan Linzhi were sitting at the very end and could no longer clearly see the faces of the people on the stage.

"I actually got to see God. I can brag about it for the rest of my life."

"Yes, God, I'm about to faint. Look at the prince, he looks so much like your Majesty."

"No way, if you want to talk about resemblance, then the Ninth Prince is more similar..."

Lin Xi nodded, hearing the constant discussions around him. The factional struggle between the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince must have started a long time ago.

Lan Linzhi clenched the cup in his hand, sweating profusely. He had no chance to get Lin Xi to drink.

"Mr. Lan, are you hot?" Lin Xi took the initiative to ask, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Lan Linzhi forced a smile and replied, "A little hot, a little hot."

After His Majesty raised his glass, everyone raised their glasses on the table as well.

However, these noble people come and go quickly.

This flower-viewing banquet was originally a banquet to "share joy with the people".

After they all left, everyone became a little freer and dared to drink a little boldly. However, they were all surrounded by people from the palace, and no matter how bold they were, they were not as free as they were outside the palace.

Lin Xi also raised his glass and looked at Lan Linzhi, "Mr. Lan, why are you all drinking?"

Seeing Lin Xi's action, Lan Linzhi smiled and said, "Miss Lin, there is a bug in your cup. Why don't you use my cup?" She naturally put the cup in her hand on the table and poured her another glass of wine.

"Here, there are no bugs in this cup." Lan Linzhi handed it to Lin Xi.

The cup in his hand was almost the same as the wine glass on the table. Lin Xi looked at the black spots in the glass and said, "Maybe there are some small bugs around here."

She put down the small wine glass and took Lan Linzhi's glass. "I don't know what the wine in the palace tastes like."

Lin Xi did not drink the wine directly, but asked Lan Linzi, "Master Lan, do you know what the crime would be if I lost my manners in front of the palace?"

Lan Linzhi replied, "If Your Majesty is magnanimous and only gives me a verbal admonition, if Your Majesty punishes me, it will bring disaster to the whole family."

"Is that so?" Lin Xi looked very calm. She smiled and drank the wine in the glass. She showed it to him again, "Mr. Lan, it's your turn now."

Lan Linzhi took a sip, but couldn't help wondering, what is the purpose of this cup? Lin Xi looked at her with clear eyes, not like someone who would offend anyone.

She couldn't help but ask, "Miss Lin, did you offend anyone?"

"I'm in Yecheng, living with my grandfather, and my life is no different from my life of cultivation. How could I have offended anyone?" Lin Xi said.

Lan Linzhi couldn't understand why that damn monk was determined to target Miss Lin.

Unless this matter involves people from the previous life.

"oops!"

Lin Xi suddenly called out softly.

But her words made Lan Linzhi's heart rise to her throat.

He stared at Lin Xi's face, wanting to see some changes on her face, but it was obvious that her little face had become a little redder than normal just because of drinking.

And she screamed only because her hand slipped and the cup fell on her skirt, staining a large area.

"Miss Lin, please follow me to change your clothes." Before Lin Xi could speak, the little palace maid who was helping to pour wine beside her spoke. Faced with such a situation, everyone seemed familiar with it.

Lin Xi followed the little palace maid in palace dress.

Walking to the corner, the little palace maid saw Chen Xun coming out from the pillar, and immediately retreated to a place ten meters away, just in time to help keep watch, but she couldn't hear their conversation.

"You knew there was something wrong with the cup, but you still wanted to drink from it. Are you trying to kill yourself?" Chen Xun walked forward with a smile on his face, staring at her.

He was originally wondering what tricks Concubine Ruan could come up with at this banquet, but he didn't expect Lin Xi to drink that glass of wine that looked suspicious.
