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

The day of the palace banquet soon arrived.

Lin Xilan gently held Beichen Yuan's arm, and the two of them followed the bustling crowd and slowly walked into the magnificently decorated back garden of the imperial palace.

In the garden.

Exotic flowers and plants are in full bloom, the fragrance is overwhelming, and there are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers scattered around.

Under the exquisite stone arch bridge, countless koi fish swim freely in the crystal clear pond. Occasionally they jump out of the water, splashing ripples.

Lin Xilan stopped and leaned on the bridge railing, her eyes wandering in the pool water, while Beichen Yuan accompanied her with a smile.

The two of them admired this peaceful and beautiful scene together.

"I heard that the young lady of the An family is a stunning beauty." Lin Xilan suddenly said quietly.

Beichen Yuan said "hmm" lightly.

It is clear.

He had no interest in beautiful women.

His cold eyes swept across the crowd of people toasting each other, with a faint sneer that said "keep away from strangers".

Most men’s eyes will go wide when they hear about stunning beauties!

can.

But this Regent...

Ha ha ha.

Lin Xilan secretly observed Beichen Yuan's expression and secretly sighed: This Beichen Yuan is really a weird man...

The banquet officially began with singing and dancing, and clinking of glasses.

Everyone was toasting each other and talking and laughing.

But there was no sign of An Bailing.

"Why hasn't Miss An come yet?" someone whispered.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Maybe he is embarrassed to come. After all, the deposed queen made His Majesty so unhappy. How could the An family just pretend nothing happened..."

"That's impossible! Didn't you realize that when the deposed queen was in power, we had never heard of An Bailing, but now... this is all an elaborate plan!"

"Shh, shut up..."

Just as everyone was speculating, the palace door slowly opened.

A stunning red figure suddenly appeared.

An Bailing was dressed in red, bright and beautiful, like a blooming peony, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and everyone was stunned by her beauty.

Lin Xilan had to admit that An Bailing was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

It is a kind of bold and passionate beauty, with a hint of aggressiveness that cannot be ignored.

"It really lives up to its reputation." Lin Xilan sighed in a low voice.

Beichen Yuan's gaze finally fell on An Bailing, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The song and dance performance began. An Bailing's dance was so stunning that she outshone all the other dancers and won the first place without any suspense.

The song ended with thunderous applause.

An Bailing smiled sweetly and bowed to everyone.

"My little girl is showing off..."

The crowd became even more excited:

"nice!"

“It’s really beautiful!”

"So beautiful……"

"She is more beautiful than the deposed queen..."

An Bailing walked down slowly amid the praises of the crowd, with his back straight and full of confidence.

She is very aware of her beauty.

before.

When the Queen was in power, she had to stay out of the spotlight for a while, but now...

Hehehe!

……

"Miss An Bailing, His Majesty invites you--" Sure enough, Eunuch Liu arrived as promised and blocked An Bailing's way.

"Yes." An Bailing nodded slightly and whispered in a soft and gentle voice, as soft and delicate as the spring breeze blowing through the flower petals.

……

Your Majesty... Oh, I won’t say anymore!

Lin Xilan complained silently in her heart.

However, she had no time to watch the show. Instead, she quietly slipped out of the imperial garden when no one was paying attention.

……

The atmosphere in the Queen's Palace was suffocatingly depressing.

The palace maids and eunuchs all stood with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.

Lin Xilan flashed into the inner hall.

The queen lay on the phoenix bed, her face pale and her eyes closed.

"Empress..." Lin Xilan called softly.

The Queen did not react.

Lin Xilan carefully pried open the queen's mouth and stuffed the pill in.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, the queen's eyelids trembled.

Lin Xilan held her breath.

The queen slowly opened her eyes, her eyes blank.

"Where...is this?" asked the queen weakly.

"My lady, you're awake!"

The queen turned to look at Lin Xilan, and her eyes gradually regained clarity.

"Xi Lan... is that you?"

"Yes."

"Haha, I'm actually fine. The emperor actually let me go... What... What's wrong with me?" The queen had a look of despair on her face. Recalling the emperor's cold eyes, she even felt that Lin Xilan was no longer annoying!

"My lady, you have been poisoned by me."

"My queen, the An family has abandoned you." Lin Xilan said in a heavy tone.

The queen was shocked and looked at Lin Xilan in disbelief.

"An Bailing has already entered the palace."

"They... they sent my sister into the palace?" The queen's voice trembled.

She struggled to get up, and then began to go completely crazy.

"Bitch! You bunch of bitches! I am the queen! How dare you treat me like this!"

"In the past, I have done so much for the An family!"

"As soon as something happened to me, they immediately abandoned me! How ridiculous!"

The deposed queen had her hair disheveled and was cursing at the top of her lungs. Her roars echoed in the empty cold palace.

She kicked over the broken wooden stool in front of her, sending sawdust flying.

Lin Xilan looked at her quietly with a meaningful smile on her face.

"Your Highness, why are you so angry? If someone treats you badly, just be bad back."

The deposed queen chuckled.

His eyes fell on Lin Xilan.

There was a flash of resentment in his eyes.

The next second, she overturned all the decorations in front of her.

The sound of thunder shattering the ground was piercing the eardrums.

Lin Xilan did not interrupt her, but stood quietly by the side, waiting for her to finish venting.

"Your Majesty, you and I know that you are not really crazy." Lin Xilan's voice was very soft, but it was clearly heard by the deposed queen.

The deposed queen suddenly stopped shouting and stared at Lin Xilan with sharp eyes.

"you know too?"

"Of course, otherwise you would have died a hundred times. It is too naive for the Queen to rely solely on a eunuch Liu by your side to fool your Majesty."

Queen, "..."

Lin Xilan said with a firm tone and a carefree smile, "I know you are filled with resentment and you want revenge."

The deposed queen fell silent, her eyes flickering.

"I can take you away from here." Lin Xilan threw out the bait, "Let you leave this cold palace immediately and live a normal life."

A glimmer of hope flashed across the deposed queen's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by suspicion.

"Why are you helping me?"

"I need you to do something for me." Lin Xilan said directly, "Tell us the truth about Concubine Mei's death..."

The deposed queen weighed the pros and cons and finally nodded.

"Okay, I promise you."

Lin Xilan smiled with satisfaction, and then asked the palace maid to bring a small pill.

"My lady, take it."

The Queen took the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

The night is as dark as ink and the cold wind is howling.

The palace is deep and undercurrents are surging.

A storm is about to sweep in...
