Jin Lan raised his head, and a face as warm as jade was thrown right into her eyes.

Her fair and clear face exuded distinct edges and angles. Her delicate and pretty face carried a touch of gentleness. Her two black eyes that flew down to her temples were clear and bright. Her tall and straight nose and thin lips were as tranquil as water. A head of black hair was neatly tied up on top of his head. It was crowned with a jade carvings the size of a baby's fist. His thin and slender body was covered by a snow-green Cloud Tattooed Python's embroidered robe.

The smile on her face was as pure as amber, without any impurities. However, the kindness she showed him caused Jin Lan to be startled. She immediately shifted her gaze away, and her eyes widened as she saw the pink-clothed girl beside her.

How could it be her?

When the pink clothed young lady saw Jin Lan looking over, she openly nodded her head in greeting, "Sister Jinlan, it's been a long time."

Jin Lan quickly retracted the shock in his eyes, and smiled as he blessed himself, "Indeed, it has been a long time, Big Sister Yifei."

It turned out that the young girl in pink who was with Fourth Prince was actually Bai Yifei, whom he had seen at the Meng Mansion Flower Lover Banquet before.

"Cousin, you know her?"

Not only Jin Lan was surprised, Li Yingluo had a face full of shock, only the Fourth Prince still had his original expression.

Bai Yifei nodded, and said with a gentle smile. "Sister Jinlan and I are both in the Yangzhou, so we naturally recognize each other."

Jin Lan's breathing became stifling. She had only met Bai Yifei once, and it was even because of a grudge between them. But now that Bai Yifei had said that, it was as if they had long known each other well.

If something was abnormal, then it meant that she was in danger. She had no choice but to be on guard.

After knowing that Bai Yi had given him the chance to get acquainted with Jin Lan, Li Yingluo was extremely dissatisfied. She coldly snorted and said: "Even so, you cannot escape the crime of slandering the Imperial Family!"

Bai Yifei frowned when she heard it, she knew that this cousin of hers, County Princess, had been regarded as a treasure by everyone since she was young, and had a very cunning and despotic personality. However, she was not such a righteous person, especially in front of the Fourth Prince, could it be that this girl, Ye Family, had said or done something to anger her?

However, according to her understanding, even if there was something, it would still be Li Yingluo who provoked her first.

After thinking about it, Bai Yifei turned her head and looked at the Fourth Prince: "Your Highness, look..."

Fourth Prince nodded and said slowly, "Ying Luo, don't mess around."

"Fourth brother!" When Li Yingluo saw that her own cousin and the Fourth Prince were faintly moving towards that slut, the anger that she had barely managed to suppress flared up, and she shouted in anger, "I'm not messing around!" She then turned to Jin Lan and roared harshly, "Do you dare to repeat what you said just now!"

In the blink of an eye, the situation had reversed.

Although she didn't understand why Fourth Prince and Bai Yifei would stand by her side for no reason, she knew how to grasp this opportunity accurately. She smiled faintly and said: "Reporting to County Princess, this humble girl does not know the meaning behind County Princess's words? Earlier, did this humble woman say anything about charging into County Princess? "

Li Yingluo did not expect Jin Lan to actually open his eyes and lie. Under the extreme anger, she also forgot to call the palace maids and attendants who were there to testify. She opened her mouth and screamed, "You said it! You clearly said earlier that I was unreasonable and disloyal! Do you dare to lie to Fourth Brother? "

Li Yingluo had obviously fallen into the trap of Jin Lan. Although she wanted to help Jin Lan, she was not willing to see Li Yingluo suffer big losses, and did not even hesitate to speak up for him.

However, Jin Lan was already prepared when he opened his mouth, and was just waiting for Li Yingluo's words. How could he allow Bai Yifei to speak? As she spoke, she looked fixedly at Li Yingluo, and actually returned what she said to him without changing a single word.

After hearing Jin Lan's words, Li Yingluo glanced at Fourth Prince at the side with a bit of guilt. Fourth brother hated domineering girls the most.

However, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the sneer in Jin Lan's eyes. She felt her chest stifled, and after suppressing the words with great difficulty, she rushed to the front of her mouth without a care. "You are just a lowly girl from a side branch who relied on your Aunt Huang to enter the palace. If you don't behave yourself, you might as well hide to the side and peep!"

"Ying Luo!"

"County Princess!"

Fourth Prince and Bai Yifei shouted at the same time to stop Li Yingluo.

Li Yingluo knew that she had misspoke, but after being shouted at by the two, she felt wronged, a tinge of moisture appearing in her round eyes, "Fourth brother, you are so fierce towards me."

Fourth Prince frowned slightly, but he slowly spoke, "Alright, I will take care of this matter."

Li Yingluo wanted to say more, but Bai Yifei hurried forward and pulled her back, and chuckled: "Your Highness, I am afraid that both sides are in the wrong, I hope that Your Highness will be lenient with your actions."

Although she was here to visit Imperial Concubine Ruan, in reality, it was the Ruan Family that had sent her here to lend a hand to Li Yingluo. Just now, she truly wanted to help Jin Lan, but now, after weighing the pros and cons, she could only favor Li Yingluo.

Hearing Bai Yifei's words, Jin Lan sneered in his heart. These words that seemed to plead for her actually confirmed her crime of slandering the Imperial Family. Moreover, she had played down to the greatest extent the overbearing words Li Yingluo had said just now.

He really was a meticulous person.

"In that case." Fourth Prince looked away from Li Yingluo to Jin Lan, her tone still as gentle as the spring wind in the third month. "Miss, please apologize to Ying Luo.

Hearing that, Li Yingluo's heart was extremely unsatisfied, but just as she was about to speak, Bai Yifei had lightly twisted her waist, although it was not painful, it made her mind clear, and she immediately forced it back down. She glared at Jin Lan hatefully and thought to herself that she would make use of the fact that fourth brother was not around and find a way to make her suffer!

Jin Lan was standing face to face with them, so the Fourth Prince couldn't see what was happening behind them, but she could see everything clearly. The corners of her lips suddenly curled upwards, and she opened her mouth to lightly spit out a sentence: "What mistake has this humble girl made?"

She knew that Wang Lin was afraid of the ancestor behind her, so he didn't want to blow the whole thing. As long as she lowered her head, she would be able to get out safely. But apologizing was one accepting of Li Yingluo's humiliating words. If that was the case, then why did she have to go against Li Yingluo just now?

His sword-like eyebrows that had just calmed down returned back to normal. It was just that the anger that flashed across his warm eyes was not the face of someone who had just been refuted, but an indescribable sense of interest. Right, a trace of curiosity rose in his heart towards this slender little girl.

To be able to catch that person's attention, it was indeed extraordinary.

As they stood behind Fourth Prince, they naturally could not see the expression that flashed past his face, and gently advised Jin Lan: "Sister Jinlan, even though this matter happened because of County Princess, she was the one who mistakenly thought that you had committed an immoral act. Since Your Highness has said so, I hope Sister Jinlan can take a step back."

The smile on Jin Lan's face disappeared, and he looked up to Bai Yifei, interrupting her words coldly: "Sister Yifei, the reason I came to the Eastern Warm Pavilion, was because of the emperor's orders. Furthermore, I'm not the only one in the pavilion, I also have a palace maid accompanying me."

She originally thought that although First Princess had brought Jin Lan into the palace, Jin Lan had only appeared at the Eastern Warm Pavilion. It must have been because he sneaked out of the pavilion, so she wanted to clear Li Yingluo of his mistake.

However, she had forgotten. How could the imperial palace allow them to walk freely? Furthermore, this Ganquan Hall was the emperor's resting place, and its security was even tighter. If she hadn't followed the Fourth Prince, she might not even have been able to enter, let alone Jin Lan.

Seeing that Bai Yifei was speechless, Li Yingluo could no longer hold back, "Even if it's an imperial edict, you shouldn't hide by the window and peep. She then looked at Fourth Prince and said, "Fourth brother, she was the one who sneaked in first, and I was the one who spoke recklessly."

Li Yingluo was not stupid, she knew that she had to push everything onto someone else.

Fourth Prince did not turn around to look at Bai Yifei and Li Yingluo. Her watery gaze was still locked on the beautiful face of the golden waves.

Jin Lan did his best to ignore that probing gaze, and looked straight at Li Yingluo, "This humble woman entered the Eastern Warm Pavilion, and took a seat in front of a window where her Highness and Big Sister Yifei were not present when she took a look. For this, the palace maid who was in the room earlier can bear witness to this. " After pausing for a moment, he continued, "It's just that I didn't expect Your Highness to believe me, and just as I was about to leave the window, the County Princess appeared.

Without exaggerating at all, she narrated what had happened, yet it was this indifferent expression and tone that made Li Yingluo nearly go crazy. "Humiliate? Did I say anything wrong? Are you not from a side branch? Since she was born with a concubine's bloodline, she was naturally a lowly person! And what makes you think I'm unfaithful and unjust? "

Li Yingluo was already starting to speak, the only thing she wanted to do was to take down the golden wave and save some face for the Fourth Prince.

"Lord County Princess." "County Princess kept calling me a lowly person, and I have to ask if you are a king of this world or a subject of this earth. All the people in this world are his subjects, so how could the words of the County Princess reach Your Majesty's ears? This is disloyalty! "

"My daughter is not talented. Although she is from a branch family, my father is a middle-second rank official in the imperial court. He is an official of the imperial court and my mother is blessed with a second rank title! County Princess humiliating a woman as a lowly commoner is tantamount to humiliating my father and mother, humiliating the imperial court officials, and ordering my wife to be considered unrighteous! " Finished speaking, she finally shifted her gaze to the gaze that had always been on her. "So, does Your Highness still think that this humble woman is wrong?"

She was the shortest of the four, yet she gave people the feeling that she was too high to reach. Her sinister and slightly distorted facial features formed two distinct contrasts with Li Yingluo's.

One was obviously a golden branch with jade leaves, while the other was a commoner. However, the commoner girl suddenly blossomed with a dazzling light, like a magnificent treasure. It was hard for people to look away from her.

Li Yingluo felt the blood energy in her body surge up, and in an instant, she lost consciousness. She forcefully flung Bai Yifei's hand away, took a big stride forward, and fiercely raised his palm towards the small face that she hated, and fiercely swung it down …
