Hearing this, Yan Ling feels so moved. Liang He really tries his best to think for her in every possible way.
After arriving at the Imperial Palace, Yan Ling can feel the atmosphere of tension as soon as she enters the Main Hall. In the Main Hall, in addition to the Emperor, Concubine De, the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, Prime Minister Yan and Imperial Censor Bai, there are only the Bai sisters.
Now Yan Ling is here, too. Looking at people at present, obviously Imperial Censor Bai has summoned all the people related to yesterday’s incident and he is determined to seek justice.
Yan Ling did not expect such a situation, but she doesn’t panic because of the unexpected situation and she salutes calmly.
Even the Emperor and Prime Minister Yan who doesn’t like Yan Ling are impressed by her calm and steady attitude. After all, not every woman can be as calm and self-contained as Yan Ling.
Although Prime Minister Yan knows that some changes have taken place in this daughter before, perhaps because her image of being weak since her childhood is so deep-rooted in his mind that he couldn’t stop worrying.
He worries that Yan Ling will be caught because of being too flustered, which will get the whole Prime Minister’s House involved.
In addition, their two families have been enemies for a long time. If there is a chance, Imperial Censor Bai certainly won’t let them go. Otherwise, there would not be the incident today.
After all, no one would believe that Imperial Censor Bai would ask the Emperor to be the judge because he wants to get justice for a trivial little daughter. And the other party involved is also a powerful official in the court.
First of all, there is not much evidence for this case. If people carefully consider it, they can find many things that do not make sense.
Second, everyone knows the saying “better to make friends than to make enemies.” Who is willing to offend an enemy as powerful as he is for such a trivial matter?
Yes, Bai Yiyi died. But in the eyes of these powerful aristocrats in the capital, human life is the least valuable thing.
If Bai Yiyi’s death can give Imperial Censor Bai an opportunity to give a heavy blow to the Yan family, then Imperial Censor Bai may think that Bai Yiyi’s death is very worthwhile.
After all, when this daughter was alive, Imperial Censor Bai could not hope that she could do something for him. Now, if her death can benefit him in some way, it’s a worthwhile death.
In fact, Imperial Censor Bai doesn’t have many sons. But daughters, in addition to Bai Feifei and Bai Xueying whom Imperial Censor Bai values, there are also several others. How can he feel distressed for them?
However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it has to be said that Yan Ling’s conduct at this time is really the most correct.
On the one hand, it shows that she is confident and upright so that she doesn’t lose at manner. On the other hand, the Imperial Censor Bai cannot pick on her for her behavior. Even the Emperor nods when he sees her conduct.
If it were not for the purpose of balancing the two princes, the Emperor would not mind having such a daughter-in-law.
“Yan Ling, I believe you already know why I asked you to be here today. So what do you want to say about this?” The Emperor sighs in his heart, and asks with dignity.
“I don’t know how to explain it, Your Majesty, but I believe that you will be very observant. Moreover, Princess Zhaoyan and the Third Prince can testify for me, and Concubine De also heard it yesterday.” Yan Ling, kneeling on the ground, says calmly.
The Third Prince and Concubine De cannot stop being suddenly named. There were so many people who witnessed the scene yesterday. Now it will be a scandal if they reverse the confession.
So, they can only nod to indicate that Yan Ling is right.
Imperial Censor Bai couldn’t bear it now. He snorts coldly and says, “even so, you can’t rule out that you find someone to poison my daughter because you harbor resentment in your bosom about what happened yesterday.”
At this time, Bai Xueying also says with emotion: “even if Yiyi was wrong yesterday, she was just impulsive and didn’t have any malice! You… How can you kill her with little regard for human life!”
If what Imperial Censor Bai said is just his guess, what Bai Xueying says now is to directly convict Yan Ling. “Sure enough, this woman is not as simple as she looks.” Yan Ling thinks in her heart.
“Let’s not discuss if Bai Yiyi was malicious when she wanted to push me into water yesterday. Let’s talk about why Lady Xueying asserts that I was the murderer and convicted me immediately?” Yan Ling is charged with two accusations, but doesn’t panic at all.
When Bai Xueying falters and couldn’t explain why, Yan Ling continues: “I just heard the herald said that His Majesty asked me to assist the investigation, but I didn’t hear that His Majesty had convicted me. I don’t know what Lady Xueying said is your own opinion or…His Majesty’s opinion? ”
Hearing this, people in the room change their faces, and the Emperor’s face is even uglier. The older people grow, the more they care about their power. If they are ignored, they won’t feel comfortable no matter what the reasons are.
What’s more, the Emperor is at the top of power. Naturally, he is more concerned about such things. What Bai Xueying just said has obviously violated the Emperor’s taboo.
Although Yan Ling deliberately guided and misinterpreted, the words said by Bai Xueying were heard by everyone.
“Imperial Censor Bai, I said that I would call Yan Ling to help you to figure out this case. But as for who is the murderer, I will have my own conclusion. So when it is your turn to make decisions in front of me?” The Emperor frowns and says with some dissatisfaction.
“I dare not. Xueying and I made a slip of the tongue due to the loss of a family member. Xueying is impulsive. She has no malice. I hope you can forgive her.” Imperial Censor Bai quickly lowers his head with a terrified expression and dares not to say anything more.
After all, there are so many people watching, so the Emperor cannot overact. No matter what, these people are old ministers. It’s OK to give a little warning, but he can’t make people bitterly disappointed.
“Yan Ling, you can see that Imperial Censor Bai suspects that you did this. If you want me to believe you, you need to explain to me how you can guarantee your innocence?” The Emperor turns to Yan Ling and says. He doesn’t forget the main thing before because of this episode.
Yan Ling is still very calm, “I heard that Bai Yiyi died in the Bai family. Even if I have great ability, I can’t get into the heavily guarded Bai House, let alone killing Bai Yiyi.”
