After Yan Ling heard this, he felt moved in his heart. Liang He really put all his effort into thinking about her.
After arriving at the palace, Yan Ling could feel the tense atmosphere as soon as he entered the hall. In the main hall, apart from the Emperor, Concubine De, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and Prime Minister Bai Yushi, the only ones left were the Bai sisters.
Coupled with Yan Ling, looking at the current posture, Bai Yushi had called over everyone related to what happened yesterday, and was determined to seek justice.
Yan Ling did not expect that such a situation would happen, but he did not appear flustered because of the unexpected situation. He still calmly stepped forward and saluted.
Even the emperor and Prime Minister Yan, who had always disliked Yan Ling, were impressed by this calm demeanor. After all, not any woman can be as calm and composed as Yan Ling.
Although Prime Minister Yan had long known that this daughter had undergone some changes before. But probably the image of weakness has been so deeply ingrained since childhood that Prime Minister Yan couldn't help but worry just now.
I was worried that if Yan Ling came and was caught because he was too panicked, the entire Prime Minister's Palace might be implicated.
In addition, the two families were originally enemies and would never stop fighting. If there is an opportunity, Yushi Bai will definitely not let it go. Otherwise, nothing would happen today.
After all, no one would believe that Yushi Bai would go before the emperor because he wanted to seek justice for an inconspicuous second daughter. The other party implicated is also a powerful person in the DPRK.
First, there is not much basis for this matter. If you examine it carefully, many reasons will not make sense.
Secondly, in terms of strength alone, everyone knows that it is easier to make enemies than to make enemies. Who would be willing to offend an enemy who is as powerful as oneself for such a trivial matter
It's true that Bai Yiyi lost a human life when he died, but in the eyes of these powerful people in the capital, human life is the least valuable thing.
If Bai Yiyi's death can allow Bai Yushi to take this opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the Yan family, then Bai Yushi may think that Bai Yiyi's death is worth it.
After all, while this daughter was alive, Bai Yushi could no longer expect her to do anything for him. Now, if a death is worthwhile, it can be considered a worthy death.
To be honest, the Bai family is indeed thin, but they are only men. If it were a daughter, besides Bai Feifei and Bai Xueying, whom Bai Yushi valued more, he also had several others at home, so how could he feel distressed
But as far as the current situation is concerned, I have to say that Yan Ling's behavior at this time is indeed the most correct.
On the one hand, it can make oneself appear righteous and confident, so that one will not be at a disadvantage, and on the other hand, it can also make it difficult for Bai Yushi to speak out. Even the emperor nodded unconsciously when he saw this scene.
If it wasn't for the purpose of checking and balancing the two princes, the emperor really wouldn't mind having such a daughter-in-law.
"Yan Ling, I believe you already know the purpose of calling you here today. So, what do you want to say about this matter?" The emperor sighed in his heart, and then asked still majestically.
"I don't know how to explain it, but I believe that the emperor will know everything clearly. Moreover, Princess Zhaoyan and the third prince can both testify for me about what happened yesterday. Concubine De also heard it with her own ears yesterday." Yan Ling knelt down. On the ground, he said unhurriedly.
The third prince and the concubine were suddenly named. Although they were a little helpless, there were so many people who witnessed the scene yesterday. If they wanted to retract their confessions now, they would probably be blamed.
Therefore, whether it was the third prince or the empress De Fei, at this time, they could only break their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs. Both of them nodded, indicating that what Yan Ling said was right.
At this time, Yushi Bai couldn't hold it anymore and snorted coldly: "Even so, we can't rule out that because you are brooding about what happened yesterday and have a grudge in your heart, you will find someone to poison and kill my daughter."
At this time, Bai Xueying also said with some excitement: "Even if Yiyi did something wrong yesterday, she was just impulsive and had no malice! How could you treat human life as nothing and just kill her like this! "
If what Bai Yushi just said was just speculation, what Bai Xueying said now was directly convicting Yan Ling. Sure enough, this woman is not as simple as she seems on the surface, Yan Ling thought in his heart.
"Not to mention whether Bai Yiyi had any malicious intentions when she tried to push me into the water yesterday, let's talk about how Miss Bai concluded that I was the murderer and immediately convicted me?" Yan Ling received the accusations from the two people, but did not show any concern at all. He was panicked, but said calmly.
When Bai Xueying hesitated and couldn't explain, Yan Ling continued: "I just heard from the person who conveyed the message that the emperor called me here to assist in the investigation, but I didn't hear that the emperor had already convicted me. . I wonder if what Miss Bai just said was what she meant or what the emperor meant?"
When they heard this, the expressions of several people in the room changed, and the emperor's expression became even more ugly. The older you get, the more you care about your rights. If someone ignores you, it won't make him feel comfortable no matter what the reason is.
What's more, the emperor is still the person at the top of power, so he is naturally more concerned about this kind of thing. What Bai Xueying said just now has clearly violated the emperor's taboo.
Although Yan Ling deliberately misinterpreted it, the words were spoken by Bai Xueying and everyone heard them.
"Yu Shi Bai, I really told you to call Yan Ling to help you find out about this matter. But as for who is the murderer, I have my own conclusion. When did you become so trapped that you ran wild in front of the emperor?" The emperor frowned, a little bit. Said dissatisfied.
"I don't dare, Wei Chen. Xue Ying and I both made a mistake because we lost relatives. Xue Ying is naturally impulsive. In fact, there is no malice. I hope the emperor will forgive me." Bai Yushi quickly lowered his head with an ugly face. I dare not say anything more.
After all, with so many people watching, the emperor can't go too far. No matter what, these people are his veterans. A little warning is okay, but it definitely shouldn't chill people's hearts.
"Yan Ling, you should also be able to see that Bai Yushi and others all suspect that you did this. It's not difficult to make me believe it. You are explaining to me, how can you guarantee your innocence?" The emperor did not forget what happened before because of this episode, so he turned around and said to Yan Ling.
Yan Ling still said very calmly: "I heard someone say something just now. Since Bai Yiyi died in the Bai family's home, then even if I, Yan Ling, am very capable, I cannot sneak into the heavily guarded imperial palace." Shi's Mansion. As for the murder, that's out of the question."
