Children of Loulan

Chapter 301 Cousin, Don’t Panic

The next moment, Concubine Xian seemed to have suddenly regained her vitality, jumped off the hard bed, and staggered to Xilin. She held Xilin's hands tightly, and said in an urgent and pleading tone: "My dear sister! You finally came to see me! Please help me! Go to my father, he must have a way to save me! And, sister, go to the king and plead for me, and ask him to send more people to serve me. As long as I can prove my innocence, I will definitely ask my father to advise the king to enthrone you as a concubine!" As she spoke, Concubine Xian's tears burst out uncontrollably and slid down her cheeks.

Seeing the delicate and fragile appearance of Concubine Xian, Xilin did not respond to her words immediately, but nodded slightly to signal Xianggui to bring a chair over. After Xianggui had placed the chair properly, Xilin moved slowly and gracefully sat down.

After sitting firmly, she opened her red lips and said slowly, "Cousin, don't be anxious or panic. Calm yourself down first. If you have anything to say, please tell me slowly."

The lover standing aside had an anxious look on his face, his beautiful eyes fixed on Xilin, and he said anxiously: "How can I not be anxious! That day, my father came to visit me in a hurry, and only told me to wait patiently, claiming that he would handle everything properly. However, today, more than a month has passed, and not only have I been demoted to the status of a lover, I don’t even know where my father is now!" At this point, the lover's voice couldn't help but choke up.

Xilin was surprised when she heard this. She looked at her husband in disbelief and said softly, "How come my cousin doesn't know about this? The Prime Minister has met with an accident and has been convicted and sentenced to exile! And today, he will be escorted out of the city by the officials and sent to a remote and desolate place."

Hearing this, the beloved was struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze for a moment. After a moment, he came to his senses and cried out in extreme fear: "What? Exile? How is this possible! What crime did my father commit that he should be punished so severely? It's impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Xilin said indignantly, "The whole capital has been buzzing with rumors for a long time! Who doesn't know that the prime minister is the culprit of the fake stone case in Xicheng? After the incident was exposed, he even pushed all the blame onto the Shangshu Mansion! Moreover, over the years, he has only cared about his own selfish desires, and used all means to persecute loyal and good people, extort money everywhere, and even wantonly kill innocent people. He has done all kinds of bad things and committed all kinds of evil! According to the law, such a crime should be sentenced to death, but the king took into account his old age and pardoned him by changing the sentence to exile!"

Hearing this, Liangren's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She shook her head desperately and shouted in a trembling voice: "Slander, this is pure slander!"

Then, as if she was grasping at the last straw, she stared at Xilin with pleading eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably, "Cousin, dear cousin, please help me! Can you go and ask to see the king for me? I must see the king and explain everything to him face to face! It's obvious that all this was deliberately designed to frame us. I have never murdered Wang Si, and my father is even less likely to be the mastermind behind the Xicheng case! Our family has been wronged! Woo woo woo..." Speaking of the sad part, her lover's crying became more and more sad, as if she was about to collapse, and she slumped to the ground!

Xilin sat there with a tall figure, looking down at her from a superior position. In her beautiful but cold eyes, there was not a trace of pity, as if the person in front of her was just an ant that could be stepped on and killed at will.

"Of course I know that my cousin was actually wronged. My cousin has never harmed the prince, she just murdered some concubines. As for the Prime Minister, he is naturally not the real mastermind of the Xicheng case!" Xilin said this slowly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Hearing this, the beloved who had fallen into the abyss of despair suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Xilin's arm tightly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw. Due to excessive excitement, her voice became a little trembling: "Then...then you quickly go and tell the king! Tell him that my palace and father are innocent and have been wronged! Please, cousin!" At this time, her eyes were full of eager expectation and desire, just like a drowning person seeing the last piece of wood floating on the water.

However, facing such an excited lover, Xilin smiled gently, with undisguised contempt in her smile. She slowly stretched out her other hand and easily pulled the lover's hand away from her arm.

"Cousin, do you know? All the miscarriages of those around you in the past few years were caused by me! And this time when I fell into the lake, it was also a torture trick I designed carefully! Even the West City case that the Prime Minister was involved in was part of my plan. Tell me, I spent so much time and energy, and endured and lurked for so many years, just to completely eradicate you and your daughter. In that case, how could I be so stupid as to run to the king to clarify the truth for you?" At this point, Xilin narrowed her eyes slightly, and the expression on her face became more and more cold and ruthless.

After hearing this, the husband's face was full of disbelief. He stared at Xilin in front of him, as if he wanted to see through her. He murmured, "What? It's you? How is this possible? Your father is still working under my father! Once my father gets into trouble, your father will definitely be implicated. Don't you know? Why? Why do you do this?"

However, facing her husband's questioning, Xilin just looked at him coldly. Apart from doubt, there was no fear in her eyes. She raised her chin slightly, a scornful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she snorted and said, "Father? Haha, what kind of person is he! In my opinion, he is just a despicable and shameless villain! Why should I care about his life or death? Whether he is alive or dead, it doesn't matter to me."

The man was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at Xilin and shouted, "I have been kind to you for so many years. Why do you still want to hurt me like this?"

Xilin heard this, a trace of sarcasm appeared on her face, and she sneered and replied: "Not mean? Tell me, what exactly is not mean? Everything you did was nothing more than taking a fancy to the child in my belly! You saw that Prince Xin was becoming less and less obedient to you and it was difficult to control the situation, so you thought of abandoning him and looking for someone else to train. And it just so happens that I am related to you, so naturally I became the best candidate in your mind, isn't it?"
