Yan Ling has already noticed the change of Concubine De. Although she knows it may not work, she still tell her what she has said before once again.
Even if Concubine De wants to punish her, Yan Ling needs to tell the truth and can’t be misunderstood.
“You are able to penetrate all things deeply, My Lady. I believe you will certainly give me justice.” After Yan Ling explains, she kneels down on the ground.
If you are about to condemn somebody, you can always trump up a charge. But now Concubine De is in a dilemma. It’s good if no one believes Yan Ling. But now it seems that many people around believe Yan Ling.
If Concubine De really punishes Yan Ling because of her dissatisfaction at this time, she is afraid that these people will gossip about it behind her if they say nothing in front of her.
Over the years, there have been more and more discussions that Concubine De is arrogant because she is favored by the Emperor. Many ministers have been looking for a chance to defeat her. It will not be so easy to muddle through if she gets caught in trivial matters like this.
What’s more, anyway, Yan Ling is also the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister. If she is punished without a good reason, the Prime Minister will feel embarrassed, so does the Emperor. Then she herself cannot get any benefits.
Princess Zhaoyan knows that she and Concubine De have no friendship and she couldn’t help here. She was so anxious, but now she thinks there is a chance now that Concubine De is hesitant.
Princess Zhaoyan thinks a while and displays a smile. Since Liang Yi has been working so hard to get close to Yan Ling, it doesn’t matter to give him a chance and see if he can grasp it.
Princess Zhaoyan is standing beside Liang Yi now. She sighs pretentiously to attract Liang Yi’s attention. Then she pretends that she doesn’t notice him and talks to herself.
“I’m so useless. I have no friendship with Concubine De. Otherwise, I will stand out and intercede for Yan Ling. If only the Crown Prince is here, he will protect Yan Ling.
Princess Zhaoyan controls the volume so that Liang Yi can hear it clearly, but people stand afar cannot.
If it were at ordinary times, Liang Yi would despise such a simple game. But Princess Zhaoyan’s words at this time aims directly at his vital weakness and make him angry.
Liang Yi always minds that he cannot compare with Liang He. Now he has heard Princess Zhaoyan saying “If only the Crown Prince is here, he will protect Yan Ling.” How can Liang Yi not care?
What’s more, he has always wanted to get close to Yan Ling, but he has never had a chance. Now inspired by Princess Zhaoyan, he understands that this is a good time for him to be a hero who rescues the damsel in distress.
Liang Yi convinces himself and immediately becomes determined to defend Yan Ling so that Yan Ling will have a completely new appraisal of him, and overturn all her previous prejudices.
“Who said the Crown Prince must be here? I am here and I’m able to protect Yan Ling.” Liang Yi turns his head and whispers to Princess Zhaoyan, and then stands out.
Concubine De is hesitating about how to deal with this difficult matter. Then she notices her son walking into the middle of the room, from which she suddenly guesses something.
As expected, Liang Yi opens his mouth confidently, “mother, I can testify that what Yan Ling said is the truth. Lady Bai was lying
Concubine De is dissatisfied to hear that, but she has to save her son’s face. So she tries to suppress her anger and asks, “Oh! Then Yi’er, you tell us your testimony?”
Liang Yi can see that his mother is already a little dissatisfied, but he also understands that his mother would not refute him on such an occasion, so he has a confident plan again.
Liang Yi thinks that it will be good as long as he can protect Yan Ling and make Yan Ling feel good about him. As for Concubine De, there is no overnight feud between mother and son, so they will be fine as long as he explains to his mother later.
After making up his mind, Liang Yi says slowly, “in fact, I and Princess Zhaoyan were standing not far away when this happened. Accidentally I saw that Lady Bai tried to push Yan Ling into the lake, but Yan Ling dodged, so she fell into the water.”
“Your Highness, are you playing favoritism? Since you and Princess Zhaoyan were together, but she didn’t see it, and how did you see it?” Bai Xueying says discontentedly.
“Miss Bai, why do you say that? After all, I am a martial arts practitioner. It’s normal for me to see farther than ordinary people.” Liang Yi shakes the folding fan in his hand, saying without any change on his face.
Bai Xueying doesn’t accept such a statement, but she doesn’t say anything else. As for others, naturally they dare not say anything more.
After all, people all know how much Concubine De loves the Third Prince. Now that this matter is handled by Concubine De, then what the Third Prince said is the fact. How can others refute that?
“Lady Yiyi, do you have anything else to say?”
Concubine De looks at Bai Yiyi with a frown. After so many years in the palace, she could see who is telling the truth and who is lying. Bai Yiyi’s statement is clearly full of loopholes, no wonder no one believes her.
Bai Yiyi thought that her plan had succeeded. However, she didn’t expect that the Third Prince suddenly stood out to protect Yan Ling. Now the situation has been completely reversed, but she doesn’t know what to do.
Bai Yiyi lowers her head and pulls her skirt. She couldn’t stop shaking either for coldness or fear, and she couldn’t say a word to defend herself.
Bai Xueying stands aside with her head lowered. With the voice that only she could hear, she secretly scolds: “useless!”
Seeing this scene, Bai Feifei understands that she could only admit defeat no matter how eloquent she is since the Third Prince is determined to protect Yan Ling today. Although she is dissatisfied, she doesn’t show any sign.
“Sorry to have caused you so much trouble, My Lady. It’s really my sister’s fault. It’s not good to hurt the harmony of the two families. I would like take over this thing, take my little sister home, and let our father punish her strictly. I will definitely give an explanation to everyone. ”
Bai Feifei’s words do sound fair and serious, but, after all, Bai Yi is a Bai, and it’s their decision about how to deal with her. How can outsiders know the result?
