Lin Xilan's eyes were level with An Bailing's.

"You know, if the regent is killed, the entire Northern Dynasty will be in chaos. Why do you think the current emperor can sit firmly on the throne? Isn't it because Beichen Yuan's existence suppresses those restless forces?"

"Your An family is no exception!"

Lin Xilan's tone gradually became cold, and her smile disappeared.

"The current Queen Mother is your elder sister, dear sister, but you didn't help her when she was imprisoned, and you even stepped on her hard! You are her good sister now!"

An Bailing suddenly became quiet and looked at Lin Xilan with complicated eyes.

"elder sister?"

"Sister, sister..."

"Hahaha……"

She repeated it, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice, "I, An Bailing, don't have a sister!"

Lin Xilan smiled, "Really? But I feel like you just can't stand your sister and are jealous of her, so you want to kill the Regent to show off yourself!"

"No..." An Bailing murmured, his voice as soft as a mosquito, "No... I..."

"No? Then tell me why!" Lin Xilan asked.

An Bailing was silent, she bit her lower lip tightly: Isn't it? Yes!

She had to admit that what Lin Xilan said was true.

she……

Ha ha ha.

Now, what's the point of saying this?

The cell fell into deathly silence, with only An Bailing's heavy breathing echoing.

The hatred in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by endless sadness.

"Because... I hate her for taking away everything that belongs to me..."

An Bailing finally spoke, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper rubbing against the ground.

"I have been better than her since I was a child, and I have been more beautiful than her since I was a child, but she has always wanted to snatch everything from me. She said that I was a concubine's daughter and did not deserve those things. However, my parents gave in to that woman in everything. My sister has been suppressing me since I was a child, but they turned a blind eye. Why can't I be jealous of her? Why can't I hate her! Isn't everything I did wrong..."

……

In the palace.

The emperor suddenly overturned the memorial on the table, his eyes wide open, glaring at the secret guards kneeling on the ground.

"No news yet?!"

"There is no news from the Regent's Palace yet?"

"How can this be!"

The emperor gritted his teeth and looked at the secret guard in front of him as if he were a piece of trash.

No news...

This is the worst news for him...

The secret guard trembled all over and lowered his head even more, "Reply...Reply to the emperor, there is still no movement in the Regent Palace..."

so?

Beichen Yuan is unharmed?

Where is An Bailing?

Where has she gone?

Could it be that he was caught by Beichen Yuan?

The emperor paced back and forth in the hall impatiently, the hem of his dragon robe sweeping across the ground, making a "swish" sound.

"Trash! They're all trash!"

"It's all trash!"

"What's the point of me raising you?"

He kicked over the rosewood carved stool, which rolled to the ground with a dull sound, and the atmosphere in the hall became even more depressing.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. His face was filled with anger, and his extreme anger made his breathing heavy.

"That idiot An Bailing, I knew she would never succeed!"

"I knew it!"

The emperor slammed the table so hard that the imperial seal on the table shook.

He knew that his carefully planned assassination plan had failed.

The Regent...is still safe and sound.

hateful!

He was a little confused!

Why is Beichen Yuan so difficult to kill?

At this moment, the eunuch chief's shrill voice sounded outside the palace, "Master An, Madam An wants to see you!"

Who?

The emperor sneered, "Let them in!"

Mr. An and Mrs. An walked into the hall tremblingly. Both of them had pale faces and knelt on the ground cautiously.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, your humble servant..."

The emperor looked down at them with mockery in his eyes, "What are you doing here? Are you here to ask me how your precious daughter, Concubine An, is doing?"

Master An kowtowed immediately, "Your Majesty, your servants... your servants are worried about your mother, the imperial concubine, and we have come to visit..."

Mr. An and Mrs. An were the first to hear that after An Bailing entered the Regent's Palace, she did not return to the palace. This shocked the two of them, and they vaguely knew that something important must have happened to their daughter, which was why she was so abnormal.

The two of them couldn't sit still at home.

They arrived at the palace without stopping.

I wanted to find out more, but I didn't expect to encounter the wrath of thunder.

There was despair in the hearts of both of them.

"His Majesty……"

"The Imperial Concubine..."

Madam An secretly took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to look at the emperor, and asked tremblingly.

The emperor slammed the table and roared, "Visit?! The An family is so brave! An Bailing assassinated the regent, he deserves death! You still have the nerve to come and visit?!"

Mr. An and Mrs. An were so frightened that they were trembling all over.

Master An trembled as he tried to explain, "Your Majesty, I don't know..."

"Don't know? I think you are playing dumb!" The emperor laughed in anger, "What a good daughter the An family has brought up! A madman, an assassin, it really gives me surprises one after another!"

When Mrs. An heard the word "assassin", her heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Bai Ling...assassinated the Regent? !

This...how is this possible? !

So... where is she now? Is she dead?

Mrs. An's face was as pale as paper, her lips were trembling, but she couldn't utter a word.

She had only two daughters, one of whom was a lunatic and was secluded in the cold palace.

The other one now has no idea where he is going or whether he is dead or alive. As a mother, how can she not feel desperate!

"His Majesty……"

The emperor looked at Madam An's horrified expression and felt even more disgusted. "The An family is full of trash!"

He swung his sleeves, turned his back to the An family and said in a cold and ruthless tone, "Get out! Get out now!"

"From now on, you An family members are not allowed to enter the palace without my order. I don't want you to get in my way. Also, pass down the order. All the An family members who hold positions in the court will be dismissed. All of them!"

The emperor's words were cold and ruthless. With one order, he immediately excluded the An family from the court.

This move undoubtedly dealt a fatal blow to the An family!

Mrs. An staggered back, her mind in a mess. This... this...

She didn't dare to think any further. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fainted.

Master An quickly supported her. His eyes were also dark now, but Master An knew that the two of them could not lose their manners in front of His Majesty, so he quickly said:

"Yes... yes, yes... I will obey your orders..."
