Yan Ling had already noticed the change in the esteemed consort's expression. He knew that no matter how much he explained himself, it would be useless. However, she still repeated what she said before.

Even if the esteemed consort wanted to punish her, Yan Ling had to make these words clear and not allow others to misunderstand them.

"Imperial Concubine is very perceptive. I believe that she'll definitely give this subject and woman justice." After he finished his explanation, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed.

Although she said she wanted to add the crime, Consort De couldn't help but feel a little helpless. It would have been fine if no one believed what Yan Ling said, but looking at the situation now, many people around them believed him.

If Consort De really punished Yan Ling at this moment due to the dissatisfaction in her heart, these people would probably discuss more behind her back if they didn't speak about it in front of her.

Many ministers in the court wanted to find a chance to beat her up. If she were to fall into these small matters, it would not be so easy to get by.

In any case, Yan Ling was the young miss of the Prime Minister's estate. If the punishment were to be carried out for no reason, then the Prime Minister's estate would lose face. The Emperor would lose face as well, so there was no benefit to be had.

Princess Zhaoyan knew that she did not have a good relationship with Consort De and could not speak much here. She was anxious to begin with, but seeing Consort De's somewhat hesitant expression, it seemed like she had found an opportunity.

Princess Yaoyan pondered for a moment before smiling. Since Liang Yi had worked so hard to get close to Yan Ling, it didn't matter if he was given a chance or not. All he wanted to do was to see if he could hold on.

At this moment, Princess Zhaoyan was standing next to Liang Yi. She then feigned a sigh, attracting Liang Yi's attention. Then, he pretended not to see it and acted as if no one else was there and started talking to himself.

"I'm really useless. I don't have any relationship with the Concubine Concubine." Otherwise, I would definitely stand up and ask for your help. If only the crown prince was here. If only he was, he would definitely protect me. "

Princess Yaoyan controlled her voice so that no one could overhear her, but it was still loud enough for Liang Yi to hear her clearly.

Normally, such simple provocation by Liang Yi would have been beneath contempt. However, at this moment, Princess Zhao Yan's words were aimed at his vitals, causing him to feel infuriated.

Liang Yi had always cared a lot about this matter. He couldn't compare himself to Liang He. Now, he heard Princess Guangyan say that if the crown prince was here, he would definitely protect his words. How could Liang Yi not care about this?

Moreover, he had indeed always wanted to get close to Yan Ling, but unfortunately, he had never had the chance. Now that he had been reminded of the importance of Princess Changyun's words, he finally understood that this was a good opportunity for him to save the beauty.

Liang Yi thought it through in a short moment and immediately made up his mind. He wanted to protect Yan Ling at this time so that Yan Ling would have a whole new level of respect for him and overturn all his previous opinions.

"Who said I have to have the Crown Prince here?" Even if I am here, I will definitely be able to protect Yan Ling. " Liang Yi turned his head to the side and whispered to Princess Zhaoyan before walking out.

Consort De did not have a clear idea of what to do when she saw her son walk to the middle of the hall, as if guessing at something.

As expected from Consort De, Liang Yi confidently said, "Mufei, your son can bear witness. Things were indeed as Yan Ling said, Miss Bai is lying. "

When Consort De heard these words, although she was discontented in her heart, she could not help but give face to her son. She suppressed the anger in her heart and asked, "Oh! Then, how are you going to testify to Eldest Miss Yan? "

Liang Yi naturally already saw that his mother was somewhat dissatisfied, but he also understood that she wouldn't throw his face away at such an occasion. Immediately, he felt confident again.

Liang Yi thought to himself that as long as he could protect Yan Ling in this situation, he would have a favorable impression of him. As for mufei, how could there be any enmity between mother and son? He just needed to properly explain it to mufei.

After making up his mind, Liang Yi slowly said, "In fact, when this happened, I was standing not far away with Princess Zhaoyan. I happened to see Miss Bai trying to push Yan Ling into the lake, but he dodged her and fell into it on his own."

"Third Prince, is there a bias in your words?" "Since the Third Prince was with Princess Zhaoyan, and the Third Prince had not seen her earlier, how could he have seen her?" Snow Cherry said with some dissatisfaction.

"Why does Miss Bai say that? No matter what, this prince is still someone who practices martial arts. It's normal for him to be able to see further than ordinary people. " Liang Yi waved the folding fan in his hand as he spoke with an unchanging expression.

Of course, Snow Cherry did not believe him, but she did not say anything else and swallowed her anger. As for the others, they naturally didn't dare to say anything.

After all, everyone was well aware of how much the Consort Concubine doted on the Third Prince. Since this matter had been dealt with by the Concubine De, then Third Prince's words were already the truth. How could he allow others to refute?

"Miss Bai, do you have anything else to say?"

Consort De furrowed her brows and looked at Bai Yiyi. After being in the palace for so many years, she had naturally been able to tell who was telling the truth and who was lying. Bai Yiyi's words were clearly full of holes, no wonder why no one believed her.

Bai Yiyi had thought that her plan had succeeded. However, she did not expect the Third Prince to suddenly stand up and protect her. The situation had been completely reversed, but she had no idea how to deal with it.

Bai Yiyi lowered her head and tugged at her skirt. It was unknown if it was because she was cold or because she was afraid, but she could not stop her body from trembling. She could not utter a single word to defend herself.

Snow Cherry stood at the side with her head down, cursing in a voice that only she could hear, "Useless thing!"

Bai Fei Fei saw this scene and understood what was going on. Since she had the protection of the Third Prince, even if she were to speak freely, she could only admit defeat. Even though he was dissatisfied, he didn't express it in the slightest.

"I've made Imperial Concubine De worry. This matter was indeed little sister's fault. It wouldn't be good to hurt the peace between the two families." Why not just hand her over to this subject and bring her back home so father can punish her? I believe that she will definitely give everyone an explanation. "

Bai Fei Fei's words did sound like it was happening for a while, but Bai Yiyi was after all, a member of the Bai Clan, so shouldn't they have the final say on how to deal with her at home? How would outsiders know?
