After leaving Bai Yiyi's room, Bai Xueying lowered her head and sneered, murmuring: "Do you think this is the end? You know, smart people often die faster."
Early the next morning, while Yan Ling was still drinking tea in his yard, Li Yi hurriedly ran in from outside the yard, with an expression on his face that seemed very panicked.
It seems that because of what happened before, although Li Yi is very nervous now, he is not so busy that he is at a loss. He can also clearly explain the cause and effect of the matter to Yan Ling.
"Miss, something big has happened! The young lady from the Bai family who quarreled with you at the banquet yesterday is dead, not from typhoid fever, but from poisoning," Li Yi said breathlessly.
Just when Yan Ling still couldn't understand, Qingyu also stepped in behind Li Yi, stood aside slowly and began to explain.
"Miss, you should know that Yushi Bai and our Prime Minister have always been at odds with each other. The two families can be said to be political enemies. When something like this happened, Yushi Bai naturally wanted to make a fuss about it, so he made it a What the young lady has done has been reported to the emperor." There was some worry in Qingyu's tone.
Yan Ling frowned involuntarily when he heard these words. Yesterday, the daughter of the Bai family was still quarreling with him, and she caused such a big incident in the Concubine De's Palace that many people had seen it. But on the second day, the Bai family daughter died of poisoning.
This way of death seemed like someone deliberately poisoning him, but because of what happened before, Ling Ling suddenly became the biggest suspect.
Yesterday, when they were still in the palace, Yan Ling and Princess Zhaoyan suspected that the reason why Bai Yiyi was so blatant was because someone was backing or instigating her. Now it seems that it is really possible.
If Bai Yiyi's death was caused by the person behind Bai Yiyi, then it can be said to be a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Not only did he get rid of the people who knew his secret, but he also successfully forced Yan Ling into a situation where everyone was suspicious.
Now I'm afraid this matter has already spread rumors. Even if this matter finally comes to light, many people will think that this matter is closely related to Yan Ling.
And the royal family is probably paying more attention to such things. Now the Queen and Concubine De seem to be quite critical of Yan Ling. If such a murder happens again, the emperor may have to delay the marriage.
From this point of view, no matter who Yan Ling likes, it is impossible to have results in a short time. It seems that the purpose of that person's attack was probably for one of the two princes.
Yan Ling only started to think about it after hearing Qingyu's explanation. He didn't know why it suddenly dawned on him. After thinking about the key to this, Yan Ling immediately felt dumbfounded. It seemed that he had suffered another unreasonable disaster.
"What's the situation outside now? If I guessed correctly, someone from the palace should soon send someone to let me in to take a look." Yan Ling calmed down after thinking about it clearly.
If he would only be affected by this matter in the end, then the Prime Minister's Mansion might not feel anything wrong, but now Bai Yushi's intention is clearly to involve the entire Prime Minister's Mansion.
If this is the case, then it is impossible for the Prime Minister to remain indifferent. As long as the Prime Minister is involved, it will not be that simple to convict Yan Ling casually.
Moreover, Yan Ling firmly believes that Liang He will never ignore this matter. If he intervenes, then the responsibility of investigating the truth of the matter will most likely be handed over to Liang He.
If that were the case, they would have a chance to find the real killer and clear themselves.
Yan Ling saw very clearly that the emperor originally admired him, but after his two sons were vying to marry Yan Ling, the emperor would feel a little bit dissatisfied.
However, the emperor's ideas were naturally different from those of the two empresses in the harem. The emperor was probably worried that the two princes would take this opportunity of marriage to gain influence for themselves and then seek the throne.
Therefore, the emperor would not touch Yan Ling easily at this time, because he still needed Yan Ling to capture the hearts of his two sons. But at the same time, it also meant that in order to balance the power between the two princes, the emperor would no longer easily grant Yan Ling a marriage to one of them.
It is such a seemingly complicated relationship, but it can ensure to a certain extent that Yan Ling will not be easily convicted. If he thought so, Yan Ling suddenly felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince naturally stood up to protect the young lady's innocence. He also said that he would help Bai Yushi find out the truth and then give the lady a clear innocence." Li Yi said with some excitement.
Although Yan Ling had long known in his heart that this might be the result, he was still a little moved when he heard it. He was indeed right about Liang He.
"The Prime Minister is also working with His Highness the Crown Prince to protect the young lady." Qingyu added softly.
But it was obvious that the three people present knew whether Prime Minister Yan's purpose of doing this was to protect Yan Ling or not to affect the reputation of his Prime Minister's Mansion.
"You two, don't look so gloomy. I'm fine. And based on the current situation, it's obviously good for me." Yan Ling was always calm at this time.
In other people's eyes, things that have long worried about the sky falling, seem to be not worth mentioning here in Yan Ling's case. Not only do you not need other people's guidance, but you are also comforting others.
Yan Ling seemed to want to say something more, but at this time, everyone in the palace had already entered.
Although the person broke in directly, his attitude was still polite after all. Yan Ling has not been convicted yet, so he is still the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and they may not dare to offend him too harshly.
"Don't worry, you two. I'll come back naturally after I go to the palace. Everything will be fine." Before Yan Ling left, he turned to comfort the two little girls standing behind him.
Yan Ling was originally walking in front of a few people, but then he noticed that a little palace maid behind him had been looking at him, as if she wanted to say something to him. Although Yan Ling was a little curious, she didn't know anyone in the palace, so she felt that she was overthinking.
When they reached the carriage prepared at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the little girl who seemed to be hesitant to speak immediately stepped forward, held Yan Ling's hand, and put Yan Ling on the carriage.
During this process, Yan Ling clearly heard the little palace maid saying something to her in a voice that only two people could hear.
"This servant wants to help His Highness the Crown Prince bring a message to Miss Yan. His Highness the Crown Prince told Miss Yan not to be nervous. He will be there for everything and will definitely not let anything happen to Miss Yan." After saying this, the young palace maid As if nothing had happened, he returned to the original team.
