Just as Lin Xilan guessed.

The eldest princess returned home with a gloomy face and heard the anxious voices of the servants.

"Your Highness, the princess has locked herself in her room, refusing to eat or drink for three days. If the princess continues like this, something bad will happen. You should go over and take a look!"

The eldest princess's face changed.

He hurried over quickly.

Bed.

Jiang Mingzhu's face was pale, and the wound on her wrist that was so deep that the bone could be seen was still bleeding!

"Pearl!"

"daughter!"

Blood flowed freely from Princess Mingzhu's wrist. The eldest princess was horrified and quickly hugged her daughter.

She burst into tears and said, "Mingzhu, why are you so stupid? If you die, how will your father and I live? Just for Beichen Yuan, is it worth it? As long as you are willing, with your status, you can choose any man in the capital. How can you be so stupid!"

Princess Mingzhu's face was pale, her lips moved slightly, and her eyes were full of despair.

What she said was indeed -

"Mother, my hand is broken, completely...broken..."

Even though it was only a finger that was broken, in her eyes.

It's no different from being disabled.

once.

She was so proud and conceited, and played the piano very well, but her delicate hands were now crippled.

Hands on.

Still her favorite person!

He is the person she has admired for many years!

How pathetic she is.

"Mother……"

"I hate it so much..."

“I don’t want to live anymore…”

Princess Mingzhu cried blood with every word she said, her eyes were filled with despair, without any vitality left.

The eldest princess clenched her fingers, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Princess Mingzhu is her only daughter!

Seeing her daughter become such a horrible state, how could she not hate her!

"Mingzhu, don't worry! Just wait, mother will definitely avenge you!"

……

the other side.

Regent's Palace.

Lin Xilan frowned slightly.

He pronounced these three words with a hint of surprise, "Shadow Pavilion?"

She narrowed her eyes.

"Jiang Mingzhu hired a killer from this place to assassinate me?"

She still remembered that two groups of people came at that time, one group was to kill her and the other group was to kill Beichen Yuan. The key point was that the two tasks were clearly divided.

When killing her, I will definitely not do anything to Beichen Yuan.

When killing Beichen Yuan.

Will let her go too.

——Such a weird and responsible killer club is actually called Shadow Club?

The female secret guard sent to Lin Xilan by Beichen Yuan was named Qiuyue. Now she is Lin Xilan's personal maid. She lowered her eyes and said.

"Yes, Princess. Shadow Pavilion is the most famous assassin pavilion in the country. The assassins in it come and go without a trace. Moreover, it is said that this assassin pavilion does not kill indiscriminately. It only kills those who are commissioned to be killed. Unless it is necessary, it will never harm innocent people!"

It will definitely not harm innocent people.

after all.

She saw it with her own eyes!

She thought about it for a while and suddenly thought of a solution.

He waved his hand.

"Come here, I have something to tell you to do."

In Qiuyue's ear, she spoke word by word, sonorously and forcefully -

"You should be able to find the Shadow Pavilion. Go there and place an order. Just say that you are willing to spend a large sum of money to buy the head of Regent Princess Lin Xilan!"

Didn’t Jiang Mingzhu hire someone from the Shadow Pavilion to kill him?

In that case——

She used the same method to negotiate a deal with this person!

Ok?

what?

What the hell?

Not to mention Cui'er, even Qiuyue found it unbelievable.

They all wondered if they had tinnitus!

"Princess, the assassins from the Shadow Pavilion are elusive. Once they accept an order, they will definitely take the life of the target. Princess, you can't gamble with your own life! Princess, are you really not afraid of getting into trouble by doing this?"

"Don't worry, I promise nothing will happen to me."

Lin Xilan smiled relaxedly.

"Just do it, that's all. I'll take care of the rest!"

Qiuyue was speechless.

But seeing the princess's confident look, she had no choice but to nod and do as her master ordered.

After Qiuyue had finished her business, in the following period, Lin Xilan not only did not seek guards to protect herself, but became more bold and went out more often.

Enjoy the flowers, go for an outing, or attend some banquets hosted by celebrities and scholars, or make an appointment with Beichenze to compete in poetry.

She lived a miserable life.

at last.

Bei Chenze looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression, "I lost."

During this period, no matter how he compared, whether it was poetry, songs, couplets or prose, he was almost defeated by Lin Xilan in seconds! Suppressive!

Also because of this.

The great scholars and literati in the capital, and even the original supporters of Beichenze.

They all began to give up their former idols and started to follow Lin Xilan, who had crushed Bei Chenze many times.

Fortunately.

Bei Chenze is not a stingy person, and he accepted this situation quite calmly.

In Bei Chenze's mind, it was just his business that he was not as skilled as others. He was not jealous of people who were better than him. Instead, he looked at Lin Xilan with even greater respect.

Why did he think that the other person was a fool before?

Blind!

……

Nanshan Academy.

As soon as the poetry contest ended, Lin Xilan supported her forehead with her hand and said with a smile.

"What, you want to compete again? Let me tell you first, don't cry if you lose."

She brought with her thousands of years of Chinese literature! How could she possibly win!

Beichenze felt a lump in his throat.

"No, I'll admit defeat..."

But compared to this, he was more curious about another question.

"You can write poetry, sing songs, play the piano, play chess, write calligraphy, and even practice medicine, but who taught you these things? If you know them, why don't you show them to others?"

After spending such a long time together, he was sure that Lin Xilan was a talented person!

but.

Why does she want to hide her edge?

She was born the only daughter of a marquisate, doted on by everyone, with no aunt or relative eyeing her covetously in the backyard. What reason did she have to hide her edge?

"...Don't ask so many questions. Knowing too much is not good for you."

Beichenze, "..."

……

The sky finally darkened.

Lin Xilan politely declined Bei Chenze's offer to stay overnight and got into the sedan chair to go home.

The night is dark.

Only the lantern in front of the carriage swayed in the wind, shining brightly.

suddenly.

The lantern went out.

It was just getting dark, and there was still faint light in the sky and a ray of moonlight, but this sudden incident still scared the coachman.

Lin Xilan's eyes flickered slightly.

Lift the curtain of the sedan chair.

"What's going on here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a shadow flying towards her quickly.

The sword in his hand stabbed straight at her.

Are you here?

Lin Xilan's smiling face suddenly turned cold, and she suddenly jumped off the carriage to avoid the attack. At the same time, the people hiding in the dark also suddenly moved out!

"Take him!"
