Seeing that Lin Xilan was speaking with jealousy, Beichen Yuan just started to show off.

"In that case, take the person away first."

He waved his hand, and the next second, Ah Rou was taken away...

In order to prevent the princess from getting jealous, His Royal Highness the Regent was so careless...

Is this still our regent?

Is this still our regent?

Is this still our regent?

……

A dark and damp cell.

The air was filled with a sickening smell of blood.

Arou was chained to the wall with a heavy iron chain. Her clothes were tattered and her body was covered with whip marks.

Every stroke was bloody.

Despite this, Arou clenched her teeth and said nothing.

Not a word.

The pain of the whip tearing her skin hit her nerves again and again.

Liuyun saw this.

Surprised.

"How is this going!"

"Why would anyone torture her?!"

"What's going on?" He frowned. "When did such a cruel official come to our Regent Palace and torture the prisoners like this?"

The jailer knelt down in front of Liuyun, trembling, and said, "It was Lord Zhao who told us to treat her like this."

Liuyun snorted.

He knew that the other party was indeed extremely rebellious.

However, he really couldn't bear to use such torture to force the other party to confess.

then.

He immediately turned around and went to find the Regent Princess.

Partial hospital.

Lin Xilan was leisurely playing with her doll.

Liuyun came up to her with a dejected look on his face.

"Princess, please save Arou." Liuyun blurted out the words all at once.

"Ah? She can survive the torture..." Lin Xilan murmured to herself, somewhat unconvinced.

Liuyun looked helpless, "Yes, Princess, that Arou is not a simple person. Please, Princess, help me think of a solution."

A hint of gloom gathered between Lin Xilan's delicate eyebrows.

Soon, she decided to go and see for herself.

In a dark cell.

Arou lay on the ground, dying, breathing weakly.

Seeing this, Lin Xilan gave the other party a big thumbs up in her heart. She winked at the maid and asked someone to bring poisoned wine.

The emerald green liquid swayed gently in the wine glass, emitting a strange light.

"Arou." Lin Xilan looked down at her, "You murdered Beichen Yuan, your crime is unforgivable."

"Now, I'll take you on your way."

Arou suddenly raised her head, and a trace of fear flashed in her turbid eyes.

Poisoned wine?

Murder Beichen Yuan?

Send her on her way?

"No... No..." She widened her eyes in disbelief and weakly defended, "I didn't hurt Beichen Yuan..."

"I won't hurt him..."

"I was wronged..."

She struggled to get up, but collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

"I want to see Beichen Yuan..." She screamed with her last bit of strength, "I want to see him... I want to tell the truth..."

Lin Xilan looked at her coldly, without a trace of hesitation in her eyes.

"At this point, what else do you have to say? Sorry, you won't have the chance to meet Beichen Yuan."

"If you don't say it, you'll never have the chance to say it again."

"Do you understand?" Lin Xilan laughed.

Ah Rou raised her head suddenly, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything! I'm not some weak maid!"

She pulled off the pearl hairpin on her bun and let her long black hair fall down, covering half of her face.

"I am the daughter of Beichen Yuan's mother's personal maid."

Ok?

“The mission of revenge was instilled in me from a young age.”

Ah Rou's voice was trembling a little, "I approached the Regent just to get the jade pendant from you."

She paused, and her tone became even colder.

"Because I have already secretly established a force to support the Regent."

Rebellion?

Lin Xilan was completely stunned. She had never thought that this gentle woman actually hid such a huge secret.

"But recently I discovered that someone is impersonating the prince and manipulating this power with the intention of selling out the country!"

Ah Rou's eyes burned with anger, "That jade pendant is the key to revealing that person's identity!"

Lin Xilan's eyes fell on the jade pendant, which was the relic left to Beichen Yuan by his mother.

She had long heard that there was a force in the underworld that was secretly supporting the Regent.

did not expect……

This is the origin...

Lin Xilan was embarrassed. Just when she didn't know what to say, a cold and low voice sounded in her ears.

"I've already said that I don't need you. Why are you doing this?" Beichen Yuan's voice was hoarse, filled with suppressed anger.

"For the entire Northern Dynasty!"

"What kind of life have the people of the Northern Dynasty lived these years? Your Highness, are you going to turn a blind eye to it?"

A trace of pain flashed in Arou's eyes.

Beichen Yuan was silent. He didn't know what to say.

Every word Arou said was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart.

"You said someone was impersonating me, so what are you going to do?" After a long time, Beichen Yuan spoke slowly.

Ah Rou's tone was firm and resolute, "I will use this jade pendant to expose their conspiracy and clear your name!"

Beichen Yuan looked at the woman in front of him.

Admiration, gratitude, and... a hint of indescribable heartache.

He slowly stretched out his hand and grasped the jade pendant.

"I'll help you." Beichen Yuan frowned and spoke in a cold tone.

A smile finally appeared on Arou's face, a smile of relief.

Lin Xilan said softly, but her eyes were fixed on Arou, with an imperceptible gleam in her eyes.

"Now that we've talked about it, there's no need for you to wear a mask, Miss Rou."

Arou knelt on the ground but said nothing, as if she agreed with Lin Xilan's words.

Lin Xilan walked up to Arou and stretched out her hand to suddenly peel off her face.

A stunningly beautiful face was revealed.

The whole audience was shocked.

Beichen Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank.

After many years, he finally saw this face.

So are the flowing clouds.

I was very excited.

"How did you find out?" Arou turned to look at Lin Xilan, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Her disguise skills have reached perfection.

This is the first time.

Exposed by others!

"No matter how good your disguise is, it can't hide your eyes and subtle expressions." Lin Xilan said lightly, "Your eyes, Aroumu is a girl, but your expression is too stiff, obviously you are not used to this face."

"Well, what's your name?"

"Like snow."

A trace of admiration flashed in Ruxue's eyes, "As expected of the Regent Princess, you are indeed very thoughtful. I admire you!"

"Come here, please take Miss Ruxue to the side room of the Regent's Palace. She is not allowed to go out without my order!" Beichen Yuan gave an order, and the guards immediately stepped forward to restrain Ruxue.

Ruxue did not resist and let the guards take her away. Before leaving, she looked at Lin Xilan meaningfully.

Lin Xilan's heart trembled.
