"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

The atmosphere in the Regent's Palace was joyful.

In such an atmosphere, a palace maid suddenly came in hurriedly.

"The Queen Mother invites the Princess Regent to attend the banquet tonight." The palace servant's voice was clear and respectful, breaking the joyful atmosphere.

what?

Does the Queen have to let her go?

"Can we bring His Royal Highness the Regent?" she asked curiously.

The palace maid looked embarrassed.

"Of course the Princess Regent can have the Prince Regent accompany her into the palace, but this is a banquet for women, and it might not be appropriate for His Royal Highness the Prince Regent to accompany her..." the palace servant said tactfully.

Hearing the news, she smiled slightly, and there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes for this sudden banquet.

There must be something bad going on if the Queen invites her!

but.

She's not afraid!

Beichen Yuan's eyes revealed a trace of worry. After all, they had just made the Queen faint in front of everyone and lost their dignity. If Lin Xilan left... I'm afraid...

He was worried that Lin Xilan would encounter unnecessary trouble.

then.

Beichen Yuan held Lin Xilan's hand tightly and whispered, "Xilan, there are many disputes in the palace. You don't have to go."

"Don't worry, believe me, I will come back safely."

On the side.

Bei Chenxi's expression changed.

Entering the palace?

He won't disturb you!

At this time, he was pretending to be desperate to refuse the marriage, so how could he enter the palace?

"Uncle...Uncle, I suddenly remembered that I have some important matters to deal with in the palace, so I will take my leave first."

He stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Princess Li also stood up quickly and said, "Regent and his wife, I have something to do, so I will take my leave with the Ninth Prince."

The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly disappeared in the Regent's Palace.

At the palace banquet.

The atmosphere of the banquet was lively, with the sound of stringed instruments and clinking of glasses.

The palace maids moved lithely among the guests, carrying exquisite jade plates and serving them fine wine and delicious food.

The queen was graceful and elegant, sitting upright on the phoenix chair with a proper smile on her face.

"Today is a beautiful day, and I am very happy."

"It is a pity that the Emperor is so busy that he cannot come in person."

"However, the presence of the Princess Regent is enough to add a lot of glory."

The queen turned her gaze to Lin Xilan who was sitting below.

A face full of arrogance.

"Princess Regent, my palace has recently cultivated several rare peonies. How about we go and enjoy the flowers together?"

Lin Xilan smiled gently: "It is my honor."

"Okay. I'll go with you after the banquet is over."

"Thank you, Queen."

"Let the feast begin."

Following the Queen's order, the atmosphere at the banquet became lively again, "Princess Regent, I have prepared a big surprise for you."

As soon as the queen finished speaking, a beautiful and graceful woman in a gorgeous dress came over.

As soon as she appeared.

He immediately became the focus of the whole audience.

"Regent Princess, this is my cousin, An Yiyi." said the Queen.

"Yiyi, I admire Lin Xilan very much, so I came here to meet him today."

An Yiyi bowed shyly. Looking at the delicate girl in front of her, Lin Xilan had roughly guessed what the Queen was going to do next.

really.

The Queen Mother continued, "This An Yiyi...she is almost at the age of marriage, so I want her to learn some etiquette from the Regent Princess. What do you think?"

This queen clearly wanted to force her cousin onto herself to seduce Beichen Yuan.

Ha ha ha.

Lin Xilan couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.

Damn woman!

She really knows how to trip people up.

"Yiyi just wants to learn some rules from the Regent Princess and stay for a while. Isn't the Princess unwilling?" Before Lin Xilan could speak, An Yiyi's bitchy voice rang out. While speaking, she covered her handkerchief with tears in her eyes, looking like someone had wronged her.

Although she was reluctant, Lin Xilan couldn't refuse as there were so many people present.

Besides, they said they would only stay for a few days.

Lin Xilan frowned slightly.

He said faintly, "If that's the case, then stay."

An Yiyi achieved her goal and showed a proud smile on her face. The queen beside her finally felt relieved.

Next, An Yiyi walked up to Lin Xilan with a plate of snacks.

"Princess, this is specially prepared for you by Yiyi. I hope you like it."

Lin Xilan took the snack and glanced at it calmly.

There was a subtle odor mixed in with the aroma of the snacks.

She sneered in her heart, this An Yiyi was really eager to frame her.

It only took a short while!

"Thank you, Sister Yiyi." Lin Xilan calmly switched the snack in her hand with another plate of snacks.

Then, she picked up a piece of dessert and brought it to her mouth. She also took a piece and handed it to An Yiyi beside her.

"It takes a lot of effort to make these things. You should try them too."

An Yiyi was stunned and quickly shook her head, "I don't want to eat!"

"Ok?"

"No, I ate a lot when I was making snacks, so my stomach is very full, and now... I'm not hungry." An Yiyi was obviously a little flustered.

Lin Xilan picked up the snack, put it into her mouth, and took a light bite.

"Is that so... Then I'll eat it myself... I'll eat more..."

An Yiyi frowned slightly.

There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

She put a lot of laxatives in the snacks and deliberately added a lot of salt, but why did Lin Xilan look like nothing happened to her?

very strange……

Just when she was confused, the Queen waved to her enthusiastically.

"Yiyi, I love the snacks you make the most. Bring them here quickly so I can have a taste."

"Yes." The Queen Mother called, and An Yiyi didn't care about anything else. She suppressed her nervousness and quickly walked to the Queen Mother.

He presented the snacks to her respectfully.

The queen nodded with satisfaction, gently picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite gracefully.

However, the next moment, her expression changed.

She just felt a burning sensation in her throat and an indescribable bitterness spread in her mouth.

"Cough cough cough..."

The queen began to cough painfully and her face turned pale.

"Queen!"

The surrounding palace maids and eunuchs suddenly became chaotic.

"Queen!"

"Empress! What's wrong with you?"

"Go find the doctor!"

Seeing the Queen in such pain, everyone was completely panicked and the scene immediately became chaotic.

The imperial physician rushed over to treat the queen.

"The Queen was not poisoned, it's just that someone added something to the snack, it seems... too much salt!"

When the imperial physician said this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Xilan.

After all, who else except Lin Xilan would dare to go against the Queen?

An Yiyi was secretly delighted when she saw this.

"Sister Princess, what...what's going on?"

She asked in mock surprise.

Lin Xilan looked innocent.

She spread her hands and said, "I don't know either."

How could she know?
