Chapter 402: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (47)
The person who killed Beibei was none other than Xiangguo.

When she was taken away by the Imperial Guards, she was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand. It seemed that they were picked for Concubine Li, but they had not been put into the vase in time.

She stared blankly at Ye Xiao in front of her, not understanding how she had offended this person, nor how those things were found out.

If it were only the Imperial Guards, it wouldn't be a big deal, but with Ye Xiao added, then everything would be ruined.

The cause of the incident was Lin Yan’s refusal.

Xiangguo wanted to use her to achieve his goal, but she refused to agree to his request and seemed to see through his thoughts.

The past was not a dream, they really had a happy memory. At that time, they were very innocent, they helped each other, and agreed to leave the palace together and open an embroidery studio together.

But in the end, everything was disrupted by the cruel reality. They gradually forgot their previous promises and began to do whatever it took to make their lives better.

Obviously they were once so close, but eventually they parted ways and became strangers.

Xiang Guo hates the people around Lin Yan. She thinks that only when Lin Yan has no friends around her will she remember the kindness of her old friends. If those people are gone, will their friendship return to the way it was before?

This is actually a perverse logic, but she was obsessed with it and had to think in this direction.

But this was not the most fundamental reason. The main reason was that the two of them had a quarrel. She and Beibei quarreled beside the lotus pond because of Lin Yan.

Xiangguo said that it was Beibei who said something bad in front of Lin Yan, so they could not return to the way they were before, and it was all Beibei's responsibility.

Beibei accused Xiangguo that if she really regarded Lin Yan as a friend, she shouldn't have used her. If she wanted to climb up, couldn't she use her own abilities? Why did she have to use her friends? Who would dare to be her friend?
Because of these words, Xiang Guo realized that she was betrayed by Lin Yan. If she hadn't told others about what happened before, how would other people know about it?

The two people suddenly started fighting each other, but Xiangguo was blinded by hatred. She just wanted to teach Beibei a lesson, but she didn't notice the other person's increasingly empty eyes.

When she came to her senses, the man was already dying, staring blankly at the sky with his eyes, and a circle of red marks on his neck, which looked shocking.

Frogs croaked in the lotus pond, and she dragged the man into the pond. The man was in a coma, so it was easy for him to drown in the lotus pond.

This is also the reason why people drowned in the pond that was supposed to be safe from drowning.

Afterwards, she covered up her tracks and returned to Lipin very calmly, as if she had done nothing. A life was lost in her hands, but she was not panicked at all.

It was just a palace maid who died, and the place was remote, so they couldn't find anything after investigating. This was what she thought.

But I didn't expect Ye Xiao to be involved in this. He had been dealing with court affairs before, so how could he care about the affairs of the harem?
This was the only thing she had overlooked. She didn't know that Ye Xiao had acknowledged Lin Yan as his sister, and naturally she didn't know that Ye Xiao got involved in this matter because of Lin Yan.

In the dungeon, Xiang Guo looked at the palace dress she hadn't changed out of yet, and then looked at the surrounding environment. It was cold and damp, and being in this place was like a hell, which made people lose all hope.

Count on Lipin to save her? How could Lipin dare to offend Ye Xiao? At this moment, she should be trying her best to clear herself of suspicion and put the blame on herself. It's really a matter of time. In those years, she sent many people to the dungeon, some innocent and some not, but everyone begged her bitterly. She looked at those desperate little faces and felt happy in her heart.

The poor little kid who was bullied in the past has become the one who controls the life and death of others from today on.

When Lin Yan arrived, she saw her holding the pole, standing there resignedly.

"In the end, aren't you just like me, using any means necessary to achieve your goals? Vanilla, why are you so lucky? What I worked so hard to get, you got easily." She glared at Lin Yan angrily, as if she was glaring at the murderer of her father.

Who would have thought that they used to be good sisters who shared the same quilt, split a steamed bun in two, and gave each other encouragement from time to time?

Lin Yan stood in front of her, with a questioning look in her eyes, as if wondering how such a person could live in this world?

Who says you have to do whatever it takes to get ahead? Isn't it possible to rely on your own wisdom?
"Beibei, she has never provoked you, and she has never wronged you. You killed a life, and you should pay for it." Even if there is no love between them, at least they have lived together and been taken care of by each other.

Lin Yan is not a saint, but killing someone means paying with one's life, isn't that a matter of course?
Xiang Guo sneered and said coldly: "I just don't like her, what's the problem? If you have the guts, kill me with your own hands and avenge her!"

"..."

There is no point in this deliberate provocation.

"You are truly hopeless."

"I hate you! Xiangguo, I hate you! I obviously want to save our friendship, and I have thought of ways to do it, but your repeated rejections make it impossible for me to repair it. It's you, it's all because of you, it's your fault!" Xiangguo suddenly roared like crazy, grabbing the pole with his fingers tightly clenched.

Lin Yan was unmoved, but she also understood clearly what she meant by these words.

"You mean redemption, is it just exploitation again and again? You want to use me to achieve your goal of promotion. But unfortunately, I am not the fool I used to be, so I won't fall for your trick at all."

After saying the last sentence, Xiang Guo slid down weakly. She felt as if she had been skinned and all her thoughts were seen through.

She has come this far, and she is not bad at scheming, but she is still too naive. Who in this palace is not a shrewd person?
"Xiang Guo, if you had stayed by Lipin's side quietly, not made trouble, didn't do anything small, and didn't come to me, you wouldn't have ended up like this. So all of this is your own fault, you harmed yourself!"

Lin Yan took something out of her pocket and threw it in. "I never owe you anything. It's you who tried to use me time and time again. But now, you don't have much time left. You'd better take care of yourself!"

Xiangguo didn't look at her leaving back, but looked at the small thing thrown beside her.

It was a very old little wooden sculpture, actually quite ugly, but the person who carved it put a lot of thought into it.

This was carved by her for Vanilla herself one month after they met.

She said: "We will always be good sisters from now on!"
