The genius doctor and the crazy concubine are rebellious, and the regent seduces her to no end

Beichen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Are you talking about Xiao Wuchen?"

"He is not a bad person, so I believe this matter has nothing to do with him."

"As for the rest... it's no problem."

Ok……

Ok……

Since Beichen Yuan said so, Lin Xilan had nothing to say.

after all.

If the two of them really turned against each other, it was not what she wanted to see!

of course.

The most important thing is that she didn't really want Xiao Wuchen's identity to be exposed. She had never been kind to him in the first place.

……

And the other side.

Xiao Wuchen returned to his inn.

Cough slightly.

Four men in black immediately fell from the sky.

One of the men in black stepped forward, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

"My Lord, what kind of relationship do you have with this Princess Regent that you want to let her go again and again?"

"If we keep her alive, she will definitely ruin our plans again. So, should we get rid of her first?"

"Kill her!" The other men in black immediately stepped forward.

Although the assassin in the inn was not Xiao Wuchen's man.

but.

The mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole follows behind.

They are the oriole behind the mantis!

In other words.

Because Lin Xilan kidnapped their master, they did not dare to take action, and thus wasted a perfect opportunity to kill the Regent!

There were two consecutive opportunities to assassinate Beichen Yuan, but each time, the plans were ruined by this woman.

then.

As qualified killers of the Shadow Pavilion, the only thing they thought about was to get rid of this big trouble, Lin Xilan, as soon as possible!

Xiao Wuchen turned his head to look at her, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Who said I wanted to kill her?"

He smiled slightly, but his eyes were cold, "Doesn't she like to protect Beichen Yuan? I want to see how she will deal with herself after Beichen Yuan dies..."

"There aren't many people who dare to hold me hostage. There's always going to be a price to pay!"

The subordinate did not say anything else, but just sighed in his heart.

Perhaps even the lord himself did not realize that the Regent Princess had actually been challenging his bottom line, but he chose to endure it every time.

This... is very troublesome.

He frowned.

If possible, no one wants their master to be tied down by emotions, so he will take action when necessary.

……

After traveling day and night without stopping, Beichen Yuan and Lin Xilan finally returned to the capital at the first light of dawn.

There was a hint of fatigue on Beichenyuan's face, but more of it was peace of mind.

He knew that only by returning to the capital would they be truly safe.

He gently held Lin Xilan's hand, feeling the warmth in her palm, which was his only comfort during this long journey.

Finally returned to the capital.

Beichen Yuan grabbed her hand, hugged her gently, and said slowly: "Rest early, I will come to see you when I come back."

He looked deeply at Lin Xilan, his eyes filled with reluctance.

Lin Xilan nodded slightly, a trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes, "Yeah."

The fatigue after the long journey made her abdomen feel very uncomfortable.

and so.

Now she just wanted to return to the Regent's Palace as soon as possible and have a good rest.

Beichen Yuan loosened his arms, gently stroked Lin Xilan's cheek, then turned and left.

He is going to the palace.

We must inform His Majesty of everything that happens on the border in detail.

Lin Xilan narrowed her eyes slightly.

She watched Beichen Yuan leave with her own eyes, and then slowly returned to the palace. During the few days since she was away, there had been no changes in the palace.

But many of the irises in the yard have withered.

Lin Xilan stepped into the yard and scanned the yard, looking for the familiar figure, but she found nothing except withered flowers.

Do not know why.

A feeling of uneasiness rose in my heart.

Seeing Lin Xilan coming back, the servants in the yard panicked, "Princess, you...you're back?"

"See Princess."

Lin Xilan nodded.

She felt a little puzzled. Since she came to the palace, she had never done anything to embarrass the servants. Why was it that when she came back this time, these people looked at her with more panic than each other?

soon.

She knew what was going on.

——Because she walked around the yard but didn't see Cui'er at all, which made her heart sink.

"Where's Cui'er?"

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak.

Their eyes were full of fear, as if they were afraid of something.

After a long time, someone trembled and spoke, "Princess, Cui'er fell into the water a few days ago... She drowned..."

what?

Drowned!

how can that be!

Lin Xilan suddenly felt cold all over. A strong chill rose from the soles of her feet step by step, making her whole heart tremble.

She grabbed the man by the collar, "Nonsense! How could Cui Er drown?"

“Princess, I dare not lie to you. Just two days ago, when you were still outside, Cui’er accidentally fell into the water…” The person’s voice became smaller and smaller. Everyone in the Regent’s Palace knew that Cui’er and the Regent’s Princess were like sisters. Cui’er suddenly encountered an accident, so everyone was in danger.

They were all afraid that the Regent Princess's wrath would affect them.

She didn't want to hear any more.

Lin Xilan couldn't accept this fact. How could Cui'er leave her like this? But the expression of the person opposite her made her believe it!

She turned around and walked quickly towards Cui'er's room.

Everything in the room remained the same as it was, but Cui'er's clothes and daily necessities were still there, the only thing missing was Cui'er herself.

Lin Xilan's heart was filled with pain. She sat beside Cui'er's bed, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.

"Where is Cui Er's...body?"

"Hui Hui... Hui Princess... has been buried."

Buried?

Lin Xilan closed her eyes, clenched her hands tightly under her sleeves, and only let go of the other person's collar after a long time.

Of course she knew it wasn't an accident.

It didn't make sense that Cui'er had been fine for so many years, but she would fall into the water and die after she left for just a few days.

Of course she knew it wasn't an accident. Cui'er had been in the palace for many years and had always been cautious. How could she suddenly fall into the water and die during the few days she was away? There must be something fishy behind this.

Among the Regent Princess, there is only one person who could possibly murder Cui'er!

Only her.

Yu Xueyao!

With a gloomy face, she walked into Yuxue Pavilion.

Yu Xueyao was sitting by the window sipping tea, the sunlight shining through the window lattice onto her, adding a touch of tranquility to her temperament.

Seeing Lin Xilan coming, her eyes moved slightly and a faint smile appeared on her face.

She spoke in a relaxed tone, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips.

"Princess, you're back?"

"Is everything going well on this trip to the border?"

"You didn't encounter any danger, did you?"

Seeing Lin Xilan walking towards him with a gloomy face, his face turned pale and he was very embarrassed.

Yu Xueyao was in a good mood.

"Yes, I'm back." Lin Xilan's voice was cold, "Yu Xueyao, do you know about Cui'er's situation?"

Yu Xueyao's eyes flashed slightly, she put down the teacup in her hand and sighed softly.

"Cui'er...wasn't she just a little maid? I heard that she unfortunately drowned. This is really unfortunate news."
