Too much humiliation!

Yu Xueyao's face looked grim as she slowly uttered these four words.

"Girl, Beichen Yuan treated you like this. He has completely forgotten his promise to you. He is so heartless!"

"Girl, why don't we leave here and seek a stronger shelter. After all, Beichen Yuan has exposed all our previous lies. So..."

"So, I feel that continuing to stay here will only backfire. It seems that Lin Xilan is not someone we can deal with..."

"girl……"

Yu Xueyao's chest heaved. She closed her eyes and listened to the words in her ears. The more she listened, the more upset she became.

She gritted her teeth.

"I should have known that men are unreliable. Fortunately, I don't have any intention of renewing my relationship with him. However, we have tens of thousands of people in Xiao Country, and we must give an explanation no matter what!"

"I am here, and the grievances I have suffered are nothing. As for that Lin Xilan, what ability does she have? Even if the coffin is opened for autopsy, it can't convict us, right? Haha, just wait, sooner or later, I will make Lin Xilan and Beichen Yuan become enemies completely!"

She came back not to renew her relationship, but for one purpose -

revenge!

revenge!

revenge!

She wants revenge!

If it weren't for Beichen Yuan, she wouldn't have become a princess of a fallen country and been despised by others. If it weren't for Beichen Yuan, her pride wouldn't have been shattered, she wouldn't have become a laughing stock, and she wouldn't have lost her friends and relatives!

Whenever she thought of the humiliation and pain she had endured over the years, Yu Xueyao's heart was filled with uncontrollable anger and hatred.

Her hands involuntarily clenched into fists, her nails digging deeply into her palms, as if only through such pain could she slightly calm the storm in her heart.

That being the case!

"I will never let them go!"

Lin Xilan was "carried" back to the yard.

But not long after, an imperial edict came from the palace, conferring a special reward.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the Regent Princess Lin Xilan has made great contributions in curing the plague, and is hereby rewarded with 100 East China Sea pearls... and her mother Liu is made a First-Rank Lady. This is decreed!"

Lin Xilan lowered her eyes, "I thank you."

Lin Xilan did make great contributions to the plague at the border this time, and Beichen Yuan did not hide it from the emperor, which made the emperor overjoyed. After all, Lin Xilan could be said to have recovered huge losses!

then.

He immediately wrote this imperial edict to commend Lin Xilan!

Even the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had a look of flattery in his eyes, "The princess's righteous act this time can be said to be for the country and the people! When His Majesty heard about this, he was very pleased!"

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Lin Xilan spoke with a smile and personally escorted the person to the door.

His face then turned cold.

——This imperial edict is of little use to her. The most urgent task is to find evidence as soon as possible. As long as she is sure who killed Cui'er, she will never let that person go easily!

So, as soon as the eunuch left, she gathered all the servants in the yard.

"When Cui Er died, did any of you see her and notice anything wrong? If anyone can provide clues, there will be a huge reward!"

"You can tell me anything about Cui'er."

The people below were in commotion for a while.

Maybe he coveted the reward that Lin Xilan mentioned, or maybe he really saw something.

A maid stood up hesitantly, "I seem to have seen it. Sister Cui'er often went out in the middle of the night during that period. I don't know what happened. Every time she came back, her face was not very good. I once saw her arguing with a maid from Yuxue Pavilion. The other party said that the princess would never come back. Sister Cui'er was so angry that she slapped her..."

"Sister Cui'er has always had a gentle temper, but as soon as she encounters something about Yuxue Pavilion, she becomes angry as if she had eaten dynamite. I also heard that the last conflict was not the first time Sister Cui'er had taught that maid a lesson..."

Lin Xilan narrowed her eyes slightly.

The maid Cui'er's hatred for Yuxue Pavilion was entirely due to anger!

She knew it.

The girl didn't want her to suffer any injustice.

and so.

What the little maid in front of me said is indeed what that girl would do!

but--

Based on this point, it is really impossible to convict him!

Thinking of this, Lin Xilan's eyes turned cold.

"anything else……"

Another maid came forward, "Sister Cui'er..."

……

Lin Xilan spent a whole day figuring out everything that happened around Cui'er after she left.

The sun was setting.

The birds began to return to their nests, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the earth, coating everything with a layer of golden gauze, but her Cui'er would never come back again.

Lin Xilan was in a heavy mood.

When she returned to the yard, the first thing she saw was the figure in black clothes and black hair standing in the courtyard, as if looking forward to something.

The dark clothes appear even darker under the setting sun, like the darkest stroke in the night sky.

She paused.

I felt very sad.

Beichen Yuan has returned from court...

Beichen Yuan naturally also saw the imperial edict in her hand and sighed softly.

The emperor knew about the rebellion on the Loulan border, but still refused to resolve the problem with heavy military force.

The so-called imperial edict he gave to Lin Xilan was nothing more than a tool to silence the people of the Northern Dynasty.

Such cowardice...it really makes him, the regent, ashamed!

"Xilan, I have already sent someone to investigate Cui'er's matter! People may suffer misfortunes at any time, and it is not necessarily caused by others, so wait for the results of my investigation. Okay?"

"Beichen Yuan, what do you mean by this? Are you blaming me for causing trouble for Yu Xueyao today? Do you think I shouldn't have gone to find that woman? Shouldn't have slapped her? Shouldn't have looked at her with suspicion?! Tell me, is this what you mean?!" Lin Xilan immediately got furious when she heard Beichen Yuan's words.

She looked up at Beichen Yuan, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

Before the other party has a chance to explain.

She said slowly:

"Okay! I can choose not to cause trouble for her, but... you have to give me an explanation. Cui'er has been with me for so long, and she was suddenly killed. I can't just stand by and watch. Beichen Yuan, this is your palace, your territory, and I want you to give me an answer."

"You think I shouldn't doubt Yu Xueyao? Okay, I believe you, so... you can always help me find the culprit, right?"

There is no need for a head-on confrontation.

She was vaguely thinking that she and Beichen Yuan had very similar personalities. Once they made up their minds, they would never give in. But she also had her own persistence, which was -

"I also believe that you can find the culprit."

Since the truth is still unclear, it would be better to leave the matter to the other party to investigate thoroughly! She is willing to believe that if Beichen Yuan really finds out that Yu Xueyao is the one, he will not tolerate it...

If he insists on appeasing...
