Rebirth: Bai Xueyun's
13. Towards the prime minister's residence

The silver needle is put in the bowl again and stirred in the porridge. When removed, the tip of the silver needle is black, which means the slurry is poisoned.

With a stern look Bai Xueyun handed the silver needle to the crown prince, "crown prince, what are you going to say?"

The crown prince stared at the silver needle, remaining silent with a sullen look. He could no longer keep a graceful disguise, his gaze lit up, and the corners of his eyes twitched constantly.

Bai Xueyun placed the bowl on the table, and continued, "When I came in with the porridge you checked it with your guard, and it turned out to be clean. How could that porridge suddenly be poisonous after your guards tested it? Crown Prince, it looks like you need to do a background check on your people, otherwise you might become a scapegoat. "

It was smart enough for Xueyun to say it like this. While pointing out that the guard was the one who did the poisoning, he also offered the crown prince a way out. He had to defeat the prince at his own game without publicly offending him.

If Han Yuan was smart enough at the moment, he would play together.

Of course, Han Yuan was not stupid, and he also found a gap in Xueyun's words. "Well, you have a point, but how can I be sure that my guards have poisoned the porridge? What if you do this with the intent of slandering me?"

Indeed, between the first and second poison tests, the guards were not the only ones who had access to the porridge bowl, nor was Xydyun.

"Pretty good." With a nod, Xueyun continued, as calm as an innocent woman. "How about this? Since your guards or I have never left this room, we won't have a chance to get rid of the evidence of poisoning. Please have someone look for us and see if any of us are carrying poison. How does that sound good ? "

Bai Xueyun did not carry any poison with her. The only poisonous needle he had, which he had stolen from the guard earlier, had been used to test the porridge, and it was in Han Yuan's hands now. Therefore, there is no evidence linking it to poisoning. 

But the guard was in a different case, because he brought poison with him.

Therefore, when Xueyun proposed that they be ransacked, the guards finally fell down and knelt on the ground, constantly begging, "permaid, please have mercy on me. I promise I won't do it again .." Han Yuan kicked the guard in his chest and said while glaring furiously," ********! Tell me, who ordered you to poison Chen? "

The guard fell down by the kick and spat out blood. He struggled to sit down, covered his chest with his hands, and his expression was pitiful. When he saw Han Yuan approaching, he was very afraid to take a few steps back involuntarily. 

"Who told you to do this?" Han Yuan unsheathed the sword of the other guards with overwhelming fury and an unbelievable shocking attitude .

The guard moved his lips, but he could not say a word.

The next second, the guard stared with his eyes wide open and looked down slowly, only to see that the silver sword had already pierced through his chest, making him bleed.

"prince ..." He looked at Han Yuan in shock and finally died with his eyes open.

Han Yuan pulled his hand back and took the handkerchief handed over by his person before he smiled at Han Yuan gracefully. "I promise I'll check it out and find out the mastermind behind this. I'm sorry now."

With that, he stepped away, and it could be seen from his back that he was trying to withstand the intense anger.

Bai Xueyun sneered, her eyes filled with sarcasm.

Now that the guard was dead, with no witnesses to testify, how could he find out who was behind this?

"waiter !" He ordered the servants to come in and clean the room, as the blood smelled bad. 

"My lady, I'm impressed." Chen who had been lying on the bed as an observer, chuckled softly as he said, with a seductive and elusive expression in his eyes.

Bai Xueyun was able to get out of this condition not only because she had guts, but also because she was lucky enough.

The guards Han Yuan chose did not have what it took to complete the mission.

Perhaps, Han Yuan's original plan was for the guards to apply poison to his sleeves and stain the silver needles when pulled back. But the guard was afraid that the poison would accidentally hurt him, so he acted alone and came up with the idea of replacing the silver needles, which gave Bai Xueyun a chance to reverse the situation.    

However, regardless of the luck factor, Chen was impressed by Bai Xueyun.

Bai Xueyun turned around and met Chen's gaze then she smiled. "I've treated you sincerely and have never hidden anything from you. I obviously don't want you to share all your secrets with me, but I hope you will also treat me sincerely."

Apart from the seductive smile that pulled her lips, she looked extremely serious, even somewhat desperate.

Bai Xueyun needed a current ally, a trustworthy person who could fight side by side with her in this foreign place... Chen seemed to be his best choice, as the two of them stood at the bottom of the abyss.

Therefore, Bai Xueyun decided to make a leap of faith and trust Chen. He knew it was a gamble, but he was sure that prince Chen would not let him down.

Beliefs and feelings can be subtle, and sometimes people just follow them without hesitation.    

"What if I say no?" Chen looked at Bai Xueyun with a seductive but serious look.

Bai Xueyun shrugged indifferently. "Then, I guess I'll lose the bet."

Chen smiled, his eyes glittered, and his flushed red lips curved with a charm that all the creatures in the world would obsess over. 

The next day, Bai Xueyun sat on the horse carriage that was heading to the Prime Minister's residence, Chen couldn't go with her because she was too weak to get out of bed.

Bai Xueyun sat lazily on the carriage, crossing her legs. Although he seemed relaxed, his mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

To the original owner of this body, aside from his mother, Lian Yue, there was nothing he would miss in the entire Prime Minister's residence, but it was difficult to get Lian Yue out of there.

Because as far as the people in the Prime Minister's residence were concerned, Lian Yue was sick.

It's a very tragic story.

Twenty years ago, the prime minister, Bai Meng was an insignificant scholar ranked third in the imperial examination to recruit bureaucrats. She falls in love with Lian Yue at first sight and convinces her to marry him with sweet talk.

Lian Yue's father, the owner of the Imperial hospital at the time, was a famous and highly skilled physician trusted by the deceased emperor.  

With the help of Lian Yue's father, Bai Meng quickly climbed up the social ladder, and thus met Zhuo Meimei, the daughter of the Marquis guarding the country. Arrogant and selfish, Zhuo Meimei begins an affair with Bai Meng, despite the fact that she is already a married man.

Then, Lian Yue lost the protection of her father when she died in an accident, and Bai Meng finally revealed her evil intentions.
