She thought quickly in her mind that if there was anyone in the palace who wanted to take her life, then that person would probably be her sister.

"I never thought that the friendship between sisters would be so fragile!"

Ning Xue murmured to herself, with deep disappointment and pain in her eyes, "Sister is so cruel!"

Seeing Ning Xue's expression, Xie Mei seemed to have an answer in mind, so he asked, "Why, do you know who sent them?"

Xie Mei suddenly remembered: "I heard that you seem to have a sister who is a concubine?"

"Your sister is much better than you in terms of character." Xie Mei praised without hiding anything, "She is worthy of being a noble concubine."

When Ning Xue heard this, she immediately gave Xie Mei a cold look full of resentment and said angrily, "If you hadn't forced me to marry, how could she have the intention to kill you?"

Ning Xue was filled with resentment and confusion. She wondered in her heart, why did her sister only want to kill her? Wouldn't it be better to kill Xie Mei? That way, she wouldn't be forced to marry, and her parents wouldn't accuse her sister of being cruel.

"Forget it, let's just stay here tonight and discuss it tomorrow!"

Xie Mei looked indifferent and lay down on the bed first.

"Fortunately, I wanted to talk to you about my family affairs tonight, and I didn't expect that I would save you in the process."

After hearing this, Ning Xue sat down heavily on the chair, looking frustrated and helpless.

She secretly thought that in the past she could enter the palace anytime she wanted, but now it was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Even the palace guards would probably ignore her request for a message!

Ning Xue couldn't help but glance at Xie Mei again, her heart full of emotion, this was the huge difference brought about by status and identity!

She was eager to see her elder sister. If her elder sister was willing to take action, Xie Mei would surely die. Why hadn't she thought of this before? Her elder sister had many elites in her hands! However, her elder sister had already wanted to kill her, so it was not that easy to meet her.

Ning Xue sighed softly, thinking back to the way the sisters usually get along. Although their feelings could not be said to be very deep, they at least greeted each other when they met.

How come my sister is so heartless that she kills me without any hesitation? My father doesn't care about her and throws her out without paying any attention to her. Why can't my sister tolerate her?

The next day, Ning Xue went to the Shangshu Mansion with great expectations. The housekeeper said to her politely, "Miss, the master told you not to come here again in the future."

When Ning Xue heard this, all her expectations were instantly shattered and she returned to the house full of disappointment.

Xiaoying and Lin Mo had already bandaged the wound and were anxiously waiting for her return.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Ning Xue shook her head dejectedly, then slowly walked into the room, tidied herself up, carefully fixed her makeup, and then took Xiaoying and Lin Mo into the palace.

"Let's see if we can go into the palace to see my sister!"

At the palace gate, as expected, Ning Xue was stopped.

"Brother guard, please tell Concubine Ning that I am here because of what happened last night. She will definitely see me. Please!" Ning Xue said earnestly as she handed over a silver ingot.

Ning Xue was now notorious, and the guard didn't think that Concubine Ning would be willing to see her, but for the sake of the silver ingot, the guard nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, this trip was not in vain, as Concubine Ning was finally willing to see Ning Xue.

The eunuch led Ning Xue and Xiao Ying to the pavilion beside the crabapple pond closer to Wanyuan, and then left.

Ning Xue waited patiently and anxiously in the pavilion.

Time passed minute by minute, and after waiting for a long time, Concubine Ning finally came towards them in an elegant but unhurried manner.

When Ning Xue saw her sister coming, she quickly bowed to Concubine Ning and called softly, "Sister!"

Concubine Ning just responded indifferently, then waved her hand. The maids and nannies behind her tactfully stood outside the pavilion. Even Xiaoying consciously left the pavilion.

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the pavilion, Ning Xue could no longer suppress her inner grievance and said softly, "Sister, you are so cruel!"

Concubine Ning looked indifferent and said calmly: "Xiaoxue, if you were so attentive, how could you let yourself fall into such a situation?"

Ning Xue bit her lip and retorted, "You thought of me. I'm afraid your fiancé reminded you!" Ning Xue's eyes were full of questioning and confusion towards her sister.

Ning Xue's eyes were slightly red, and she said with grievance: "Sister, you know me. I have always been proud and arrogant. How could I be willing to marry that Jianghu man? I, I was forced by him!"

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she was trying her best to express her helplessness and unwillingness.

"Sister, you know the difficulties I'm in now. Not only do you not help me, but you also add insult to injury. Is the relationship between us sisters so weak?" Ning Xue bit her lip and looked at Concubine Ning with disappointment in her eyes.

Concubine Ning still looked calm and unmoved. She said with a cold gaze, "Since you know that I want to kill you, you came to the palace this time to renew our sisterhood or to investigate for responsibility, right?"

Concubine Ning thought to herself that if Ning Xue really thought so, then she was truly hopeless.

Ning Xue pursed her lips, frowned, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't miss the time to leave the palace. I don't want to keep you overnight!" There was a hint of impatience in Concubine Ning's tone.

Ning Xue's heart hardened, and she raised her voice and said, "Sister, I hope you can help me get rid of the evil spirit!"

When Concubine Ning heard this, she showed a slight surprise on her face and said, "In this situation, you want me to get rid of him?"

In fact, what Concubine Ning asked was different from what she was thinking. She was thinking that she didn't know the identity of this man in the martial arts world, and if she acted rashly, she didn't know whether it would bring other troubles.

"In this situation, don't you still want to get rid of me, sister? If you can do something to me, why can't you do something to him!" Ning Xue was a little excited, and her cheeks turned red with anger.

Concubine Ning looked at Ning Xue's angry face and thought to herself: Ning Xue is infected with the cold poison and she probably won't live for more than a few months. Why bother with her!

"Ning Xue, when you were plotting against Prince Shangguan in the Princess's Mansion, why did you suddenly change people halfway through?"

Concubine Ning's eyes were fixed on Ning Xue. This was something she couldn't understand.

Ning Xue has always been in love with Prince Shangguan and has never concealed the fact. When she was about to succeed, she changed her partner at the last minute. It was really puzzling.

Especially later, when Ning Xue was obsessed with Huo Beixuan and her abnormal behavior made her seem like a completely different person.

Ning Xue was expecting her sister to give her a satisfactory answer, but she didn't expect her sister to ask her about what happened in the past. She was stunned and her thoughts were instantly pulled back to the past.

Ning Xue recalled the so-called predictive dream, which now seemed like a ridiculous joke.

Huo Beixuan had died long ago, no trace of his body was left. The so-called Prime Minister and the so-called first-rank lady were all just a pipe dream.

"I was blind at the time, and somehow I fell in love with Huo Beixuan!"

Ning Xue lowered her head and said in a low voice that she felt extremely regretful. If she had gone into battle in person at that time, she would have been the Crown Prince's Consort by now.

Since everything in the dream can be changed, she can also try to change Prince Shangguan. Unfortunately, she was confused by the illusory dream of being the Prime Minister's wife.

It’s too late to say anything now. Yun Chang is living a very comfortable life now, and it was her wrong decision at the beginning that caused all this!
