and so.

Since she is so capable, Murong Yu decided to let her take care of the matter of corruption and bribery!

after all.

The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. Isn't it?

Thinking of this, Murong Yu curled up a meaningful smile.

The space between his brows relaxed again.

The woman in front of me is small, but she has great energy.

A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes: "My dear, your method is very good. I believe that with your way of handling it, our Southern Country will definitely curb this evil wind of corruption. In this case, I will leave this matter to you, my dear!"

Lin Xilan: “…”

???

Are you polite? ? ?

She is just a female official. How could such a big thing be handed over to her so easily?

Who can conquer her?

She was stunned and shook her head subconsciously, about to reject the other party's decision.

However, the moment I raised my head, the other person had already left.

Ok……

Murong Yu... you are so capable! You didn't even give her a chance to refuse!

Lin Xilan could only hold back her frustration, follow the other party and continue her work as a female official.

Until the sun sets in the west.

The sky gradually turned pale, and Lin Xilan packed up and prepared to go home.

But as soon as she walked out of the door of the side hall, an unfriendly figure appeared in front of her.

Someone stopped her.

"Sir Zhao, the Imperial Concubine invites you!" The man who came was a eunuch. He had regular features and looked down at Lin Xilan with squinted eyes, with an air of superiority.

Imperial Concubine?

Lin Xilan paused.

It's getting late.

It was time for the imperial palace to rest, so Lin Xilan originally wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible.

However, since this person was invited by the Imperial Concubine, then...she was already very curious about the Imperial Concubine's face, so after hesitating for a while, she followed him to Yuanchen Palace without hesitation.

……

Yuanchen Palace.

The palace has deep courtyards and winding paths, with exotic flowers and plants blooming and the fragrance of flowers filling the air, which is refreshing and pleasant.

The decoration in the palace is extremely luxurious, and every piece of furnishing is meticulously crafted, highlighting the dignity and majesty of the royal family.

now.

The imperial concubine lay on the couch with an elegant posture, watching Lin Xilan enter with a smile. She was dressed in a scarlet palace dress, and was truly peerless.

The imperial concubine's clothes were as red as fire, forming a sharp contrast with her fair skin, making her look even more beautiful.

The royal concubine's eyes moved with a hint of amusement, and the moment she saw Lin Xilan, a barely perceptible coldness flashed in her eyes.

Lin Xilan knew it very well.

It must not be a good thing for the other party to summon me at this time.

"Lord Zhao is here, please take a seat!" The royal concubine's voice was soft and pleasant. She waved her hand lightly, and the palace maids quickly brought an exquisite chair and placed it in front of Lin Xilan.

Lin Xilan nodded slightly and sat down gracefully, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

She quietly looked at the imperial concubine whom she had met twice before, and once again saw her own shadow in her.

Yes.

The same.

Even the spirit is somewhat similar.

This was also something that Lin Xilan couldn't understand - she had personally poisoned Murong Yu, causing him to be childless for his entire life. Logically, he should hate her to the core.

and so.

Is he attracted to the imperial concubine, or does he want to humiliate her to vent his anger?

Murong Yu's feelings for her were really hard for her to understand!

what is going on?

She looked at Concubine Zhao, slightly dazed.

The Imperial Concubine smiled and said, "Master Zhao, you don't have to be so polite. You saved me last time, and I haven't thanked you properly yet. Today, I specially prepared some thank-you gifts for you to express my gratitude to you. Before, when I met Master Zhao, I wanted to make friends with you, but I didn't have the chance until today to have a good face-to-face chat with you."

"Someone, serve tea to Lord Zhao."

She looked up at the maid, who immediately understood and stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for Lin Xilan.

Lin Xilan didn't move.

After calculating several times, she had learned to remain calm. No matter whether there was medicine in the tea or not, it was always safest not to drink it.

"Why, Your Excellency, do you dislike the tea in my bedroom?" When the imperial concubine saw that Lady Zhao did not move, her face suddenly darkened.

She frowned.

I didn't want to drink it in the first place, and the imperial concubine's attitude of trying to cover up her mistake made me even more suspicious. It was hard not to speculate whether something was added to the water.

She hasn't forgotten!

Although he saved this imperial concubine, the Sun family was not really friendly to him. And Die'er...

She shook her head, "I am not thirsty."

"Really? What if I insist that you drink it?" The Imperial Concubine looked displeased. She personally asked the maid to bring tea to Lady Zhao, but she refused to drink it!

Isn't this a slap in the face of her, the imperial concubine?

She was just a little lady-in-waiting. Who did she think she was? How dare she act so presumptuously in front of him!

What does she mean?

Lin Xilan's eyes turned cold, and the next moment she saw the woman on the couch slowly stand up, put her hand on the maid beside her, and smiled softly, like a gorgeous camellia.

She walked slowly to Lin Xilan, looking at her closely.

then.

She spoke word by word:

"Master Zhao, do you know? Die'er is my sister."

Sister?

She narrowed her eyes and only heard the imperial concubine continue to say, "My mother has no sons. She only gave birth to two daughters, me and her. The eldest son of the Sun family was just adopted. My mother couldn't give birth to a son, so she has never been able to hold her head up. We two sisters depend on each other for survival. For the sake of our mother and the status of our family, one of us entered the palace to become an imperial concubine, and the other entered the prince's mansion."

Her eyes suddenly fell into nostalgia.

"Everyone says that she is shameless and is willing to abandon her reputation to stay in the Prince's Mansion and become an unknown beauty. But only I know that she did it for me." The imperial concubine paused.

"And now, she is dead. Lord Zhao, tell me, who killed her?"

Who else could it be?

Of course it’s Murong Xuan!

——However, the real reason why Murong Xuan attacked Die'er was that she was restless and planned to kill the child in Lin Xilan's belly, which belonged to Beichen Yuan!

Lin Xilan's eyelids twitched.

Thinking of this, she looked up suddenly.

However, he only saw that the palace maid who was originally beside him had closed the palace door at some point, and with a click, the entire palace was airtight!

"What does your Majesty the Concubine mean?"
