"When my sister received the reward from the emperor, I happened to be knocked unconscious the night before and was thrown into shame on the street. Comparing the two, it was inevitable that I felt a little jealous." As Yan Shuang spoke, he quietly raised his head and glanced at Yan Ling. One glance.
Seeing that Yan Ling was not looking at him, Yan Shuang continued: "Then, I originally wanted to walk around the house, but I didn't expect to meet Qing'er. After that, I was confused and told the housekeeper to let Qing Fang Go back and instruct Qing'er to steal the jade pendant at night."
Yan Shuang lowered her head, wiped the corners of her eyes, and continued: "I was just confused with a fever that day. When I woke up the next day, I regretted it. Originally, I wanted to send the jade pendant back and apologize to my sister. But. , but I didn’t expect that someone from the palace suddenly came and told us to enter the palace.”
"Then in the main hall, why didn't you say that you took the jade pendant?" Liang He suddenly sneered. He didn't think Yan Shuang would think that he had done something wrong.
"That's because" Yan Shuang stuttered.
"Because my sister has already said that the jade pendant was stolen, I want to say that the jade pendant is at my place. Isn't it the crime of deceiving the emperor? I am afraid, so I dare not say it." Yan Shuang hesitated to cover up.
"What's more, if everyone knows about this matter, even the entire Prime Minister's Mansion will be implicated. How dare I talk nonsense?" Yan Shuang raised his head and looked at Prime Minister Yan.
Prime Minister Yan was still angry. He looked at Yan Shuang and asked, "What about after returning to the house? Why didn't you tell your father about this?"
Regarding this matter, Yan Shuang had already thought of a countermeasure, and quickly said: "Because the matter has been filed, it's okay for Shuang'er to be punished alone. I just wanted to send the jade pendant out alone because I didn't want to implicate the entire Prime Minister's Mansion." .”
"As long as the jade pendant is delivered outside, I believe His Highness the Crown Prince and his sister will be able to find it soon. In this way, they can not only report to the emperor, but also not affect the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Yan Shuang knelt down very obediently.
At this time, Yan Shuang implicated everything she had done with the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. The purpose of this was just to make Prime Minister Yan put the overall situation first and intercede on her behalf.
How could Liang He and Yan Ling not know what Yan Shuang was thinking? However, seeing Prime Minister Yan's increasingly ugly face, Yan Ling and Liang He only felt funny.
The Prime Minister's Office indeed attaches great importance to reputation, but this has nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Office in the first place. If Yan Shuang only said that it was his fault and did not implicate the entire Prime Minister's house, Prime Minister Yan would not have such an expression.
As for saving Yan Shuang, how could Prime Minister Yan not take action to save his own daughter? What Yan Shuang did this time was clearly unnecessary and made Prime Minister Yan very disgusted.
However, at this time, Yan Shuang was completely unaware of it, and even secretly felt that she was very smart for coming up with such a way to save herself.
"Confused, confused!" Prime Minister Yan said sadly.
On the surface, Prime Minister Yan was saying that Yan Shuang was confused when he stole the jade pendant out of jealousy, but as to whether he had any ulterior motive, only Prime Minister Yan himself could tell.
"Shuang'er realizes that she was wrong, and please forgive her sister, and ask her father and His Highness the Crown Prince to show mercy and spare Shuang'er this time." Yan Shuang knelt and moved to Yan Ling, looking at her pitifully.
Although what he did before was very stupid, this time, Yan Shuang finally used his brains and found his partner.
Prime Minister Yan would naturally help his biological daughter, but His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to only listen to Yan Ling. At this time, all she had to ask for was Yan Ling's forgiveness and a few good words for her in front of His Royal Highness, and things would be easy.
However, how could Yan Ling and Liang He not think of the things they could think of? This sentiment is indeed required. After all, no matter how you say it, Yan Ling is a member of the Yan family.
However, as to whether Liang He would open up because of this plea, that is another matter. Anyway, no one stipulates that asking for mercy must be successful.
However, Yan Ling had no intention of letting Yan Shuang go so easily.
"Shuang'er, you said you wanted me to forgive you, but how can I forgive you? The jade pendant is lost. My sister has doubted everyone in Foli, but she has not doubted you alone. I always thought that our sisters have a deep love, but who would have thought "
Yan Ling turned away, as if he suddenly found out that he had been betrayed by someone he trusted so much, and couldn't hide his heartache.
When Yan Shuang heard this, he suddenly panicked. His Highness the Crown Prince values Yan Ling's attitude very highly. If Yan Ling refuses to forgive Yan Shuang, then His Highness the Crown Prince will not let her go easily.
If this matter of stealing the gift given by the emperor was really a matter of business and brought it to the attention of the emperor, Yan Shuang would naturally not get any good results.
What's more, if this matter spread to everyone, how could Yan Shuang have the dignity to go out to meet people in the capital.
"Sister, I know I was wrong. I was just distracted for a moment, and I accidentally did something wrong. Sister, you are confused. Sister already knows that I was wrong. Please forgive me, sister." Yan Shuang spoke with some urgency. The hem of Ling's skirt and even the tears in his eyes were a little more real.
"This" Yan Ling seemed to be hesitant. He wanted to help Yan Shuang up, but he couldn't reach out his hand.
Prime Minister Yan and other shrewd people naturally saw at this time that Yan Ling had softened his heart. He immediately decided to make a decisive decision and use every opportunity to say a few good words.
"Ling'er, you have been wronged by your father knowing about this matter. But no matter what, Shuang'er is your biological sister. You two share the same mother. No matter how you say it, you are the closest people. Ah!" Prime Minister Yan looked sad.
Upon hearing this, Yan Ling seemed to have a sudden realization. He immediately stopped being entangled and bent down to help Yan Shuang, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
"My father has said so, and my sister has already realized her mistake. What else can I say? I will only treat it as an unintentional mistake. If there is a next time," Yan Ling gently hugged Yan Shuang and wiped it. her tears.
"Don't worry, sister, there will never be a next time, never again." Seeing this situation, Yan Shuang assured her quickly.
After a while, Yan Ling remained silent and did not speak, but Yan Shuang was worried. After waiting for a while, she gently tugged on Yan Ling's sleeve. When Yan Ling looked over, she secretly glanced at Liang He who was sitting beside him. The meaning of this was naturally self-evident.
Yan Ling glanced at Yan Shuang, seemingly hesitant, lowering his head and not daring to look at Liang He, and not even mentioning anything.
Yan Shuang had no choice but to turn his attention to his father. Prime Minister Yan winked at Yan Shuang. Yan Ling immediately understood and pulled Yan Ling's sleeve, and the tears in his eyes suddenly flowed out again. .
When Yan Ling saw Yan Shuang's appearance, he felt funny in his heart. What did he do when he was doing things before? Now that things have become serious, I thought of asking myself to plead for mercy.
"Your Highness, since the jade pendant has been found, can you let Shuang'er go?"
