After leaving Bai Yiyi’s room, Bai Xueying sneers with her head low and murmurs: “do you think this is the end? You know, smart people die earlier. ”
The next morning, Yan Ling is drinking tea in her own yard, but Liyi runs in from the outside in a hurry and her expression shows that she is very flustered.
It seems that because of her previous experiences, Liyi explains the cause and effect of the matter to Yan Ling clearly, although she is very nervous now.
“My Lady, something happened! The Bai girl who quarreled with you at the banquet yesterday died, not from typhoid fever, but from poisoning…” Liyi says breathlessly.
Just when Yan Ling is confused, Qingyu steps in behind Liyi and slowly explains beside her.
“You know, My Lady, that Imperial Censor Bai and the Prime Minister have always been at odds. They are political enemies. When such a thing happened, of course Imperial Censor Bai would make a fuss and accuses you of poisoning her. He has already complained to the Emperor.” Qingyu also sounds worried.
Yan Ling involuntarily frowns when she hears this. Yesterday, Bai Yiyi quarreled with herself, and a lot of people saw this big thing happen in the palace of Concubine De. But on the second day, Bai Yiyi died of poisoning.
Obviously, someone deliberately poisoned her. Because of what happened before, Yan Ling suddenly becomes the most suspected person.
Yesterday, when they were still in the palace, Princess Zhaoyan and Yan Ling suspected that Bai Yiyi was so blatant because she had got backed up or instigated. Now it seems highly possible.
If it’s really the person behind Bai Yiyi who killed her, then it can be said to be a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. He or she not only get rid of Bai Yiyi who knows the secret, but also successfully forces Yan Ling into a situation where she is doubted by all people.
Now, rumors about this matter must have been spread for a long time. Even if the truth can be found out at the end, there still are people who believe that this must has something to do with Yan Ling.
Moreover, the royal family pays more attention to such things. Now it seems that both the Queen and Concubine De have a lot of complaints against Yan Ling. If such a homicide happens again, the Emperor will not make a match for her for a long time.
From this point of view, no matter who Yan Ling likes, it is impossible for her to get married in a short time. The purpose of that person is probably related to one of the two princes.
Yan Ling begins to think about it and suddenly gets enlightened after hearing Qingyu’s explanation. After figuring out the key point, Yan Ling does not know whether to cry or to laugh. It seems that she gets into a disaster once again.
“What’s going on out there now? If I’m not wrong, the Palace should send someone to let me in. “After thinking about it clearly, Yan Ling calms down.
If she is the only one who will be affected, the Prime Minister’s House may not care, but now Imperial Censor Bai clearly wants to implicate the whole Prime Minister’s House.
In this case, the Prime Minister cannot be indifferent. As long as the Prime Minister gets involved, it will not be so simple to convict Yan Ling.
And, Yan Ling believes that Liang He will not ignore this case. If he intervenes, the task of investigating the truth is likely to be handed over to Liang He.
Then she will have a chance to find out the real killer and prove her innocence.
Yan Ling is very clearly that the Emperor appreciates her. But he would be a little dissatisfied since two of his sons have competed to marry her.
The idea of the Emperor is different from that of the Queen and Concubine De. The Emperor may worry that the two princes will take the opportunity of marriage to win over power for themselves and then plot for the throne.
So the Emperor will not easily punish Yan Ling at this time because he still needs Yan Ling to control his two sons. But at the same time, it means that in order to balance the power between the two princes, the Emperor will not easily marry Yan Ling to one of them.
Because of this complicated interrelationship, Yan Ling will not be easily punished to a certain extent. If so, Yan Ling suddenly feels relieved.
“Naturally, the Crown Prince stands out to protect your innocence, My Lady. He also said that he will help the Imperial Censor Bai to find out the truth and prove your innocence.” Liyi says excitedly.
Although Yan Ling already knows that he will do that for her, she is still moved when she hears others say it. She is correct about Liang He.
“The same with the Crown Prince, Prime Minister claims to protect you.” Qingyu adds softly.
However, they know very well that the purpose of Prime Minister Yan’s doing this is to protect Yan Ling or to keep intact the reputation of Prime Minister’s House.
“Don’t be upset. I’m fine, right? And the current situation is obviously in my favor.” Yan Ling is always calm at such time.
If it were other people in her situation, they would have long been in a hurry as if the sky is about to fall. But it seems that it’s not worth mentioning for Yan Ling. She doesn’t need to be comforted, instead she wants to comfort others.
Yan Ling wants to say something more, but at this time people from the palace have come in.
Although they rushed in directly, they still keep polite. Yan Ling is not convicted now, so she is still the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister’s House. They may not dare to offend her too much.
“Don’t worry. I’ll come back. I’ll be fine.” Before Yan Ling leaves, she turns her head to comfort the two little maids standing behind her.
Yan Ling walks in front of those people, but later she notices that a little maid in palace behind her has been looking at her, as if she wants to tell her something. Although Yan Ling is a little curious, she doesn’t know the people in the palace, so she thinks that she may think too much.
When they get to the gate of the Prime Minister’s House where the carriage has been waiting, the young maid immediately steps forward and holds Yan Ling’s hand to help her get on the carriage.
In this process, Yan Ling clearly hears the young maid saying in a voice in which only two of them can hear.
“The Crown Prince asked me to tell you that, My Lady. He told you don’t need to be nervous. He is there for everything, and he would not let anything go wrong with you.” Finishing saying this, the little maid goes back to her position as if nothing has happened.
