Half a month later, the entire incident with the jade pendant had been resolved. His Highness the crown prince had found the jade pendant, but in the process of fighting with the thieves, he had accidentally killed his opponent.

However, the Emperor didn't punish him for this, and the others didn't have the right to say anything.

However, at the same time, a statement suddenly came from the capital. The commoners discussed this matter over time — it was said that the Emperor had bestowed the third prince with the jade pendant. As for how the third prince had obtained it, it was a long story …

Regarding the matter of the Third Prince trying to coax the daughter of the tribe leader of the Naga Tribe and obtaining the jade pendant, the people of the capital more or less knew about it. However, after adding oil to the fire, the rumors became even more vivid.

Even the biggest pub in the capital was acting out this act.

Yan Ling found it funny when he saw the vividly painted figure of the person dressed in a white costume on the stage.

After drinking a mouthful of tea, Yan Ling turned his head and said to Liang He, "You really hold a grudge this time."

"What kind of enmity do I hold? Isn't this something he did himself?" Not to mention, this journey was indeed not easy. "It's fine, he gave us so much trouble, we naturally have to teach him a lesson." Liang He said as if nothing had happened.

At the same time, in the Third Prince's Mansion, Liang Yi was enraged. He nearly smashed an object in the study room.

This morning, the emperor called Liang Yi into the palace. Before Liang Yi could even react, he was harshly scolded by the Emperor.

Liang Yi had been scolded to the point that he felt dizzy. He didn't know what to say, so he obediently lowered his head and listened to the lecture. After listening for a while, Liang Yi finally understood that someone had told the entire city about how he had obtained the jade pendant, and even made it into a play.

At the beginning, Liang Yi had thought that the Emperor was blaming him for using every means at his disposal, and he was so scared that he didn't dare to make a sound. In the end, it was only then that Liang Yi understood that the Emperor only disdained him for doing things and had gotten someone to dig up the ugly matter for him.

Liang Yi remembered that at that time, he had promised that he would find out who spread the news, and he also said that he would go and warn those who were singing.

Upon hearing these words, the Emperor almost fainted from anger. At that moment, he threw the paper in his hand towards Liang Yi's head. Liang Yi was caught off guard. After being hit, blood started to seep out from the top of his head.

"Is this the method of handling matters that I've given you?" Don't you understand that the more you write, the darker it gets? If you go now, can you stop everyone from talking? It will only make them feel guilty! " The Emperor seemed to be rather angry.

Liang Yi knew that he was in the wrong. Before he could even beg for mercy, he was ordered by the Emperor to be grounded for half a month, and let him quietly reflect on his wrongs. He was not allowed to do anything small.

Liang Yi could naturally see that the Emperor was truly angry this time. How could he still dare to plead on his behalf? He could only grit his teeth and obediently return to his residence.

If these matters were within reason, then Princess Guangyan's actions were the one that Yan Ling couldn't quite understand.

Princess Zhaoyan actually married Yu Ling, her personal little girl, out just like that. They even ordered people to leave the house. Although everyone knew that the dowry was very generous and Yu Ling followed a good master.

However, Yan Ling still did not understand. Yan Ling didn't understand how close he was with Yu Ling and how close he was with her.

However, there was one thing he was sure of. Princess Yaoyan valued the girl beside her greatly, and she even trusted her greatly. Even if it was for this matter, Princess Guangyan knew the truth. There was no need to kick Yu Ling out.

However, other people's affairs still belonged to them. When Yan Ling first heard it, although he was a little surprised, he did not ask about it. Probably because he had lived for a long time, he was not curious about anything.

However, what was even more unexpected was that a few days later, Princess Guangyan came looking for him.

Yan Ling read through the invitation in his hand a few times before confirming that the invitation was indeed his name and not Yan Shuang.

With regards to the matter of Princess Zhao Yan suddenly making an appointment with him, Yan Shuang naturally felt astonished. Last time it was because of the Hong Gate banquet, why had she done so this time?

Although he did not understand, Yan Ling felt from the bottom of his heart that Princess Zhao Yan was someone who was worth befriending. From Yan Ling's perspective, she liked Princess Zhao Yan's personality very much.

Before this, the reason why they didn't get to know each other deeply was also because of Yan Shuang. This time, Princess Zhaoyan had actually taken the initiative to pass her a card. Naturally, Yan Ling had no reason to reject her.

When it was time, Yan Ling brought Li Yi and Qingyu forward together.

Princess Radiant Yan had said that they were going out to hunt, and the meeting place was the northern hunting grounds. Yan Ling naturally felt that such an exercise was the most suitable for Princess Guangyan.

However, when they arrived at the place, Yan Ling discovered that Princess Guangyan seemed to be in low spirits. She seemed to be in a depressed mood.

Yan Ling thought for a moment. He could guess that Princess Guangyan was unhappy about Yu Ling leaving.

Yan Ling didn't know how to comfort her either. He sighed and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. If Yu Ling doesn't want to stay here, then even if she is here, her heart is no longer here."

At first, Yan Ling thought that Princess Guangyan was disappointed that the person beside her was covering up for others and didn't even tell him about it. That was why she chased Yu Ling out.

However, when he saw Princess Zhaoyan's soulless appearance, he knew that he had guessed wrongly.

However, Princess Guangyan's words had once again broken her guess, "It wasn't Yu Ling who wanted to leave, I was the one who kicked her out."

Yan Ling had obviously thought of something like this. He asked curiously, "You obviously don't want to part with it, but why did the princess chase them away?"

Princess Guangyan gave a wry smile and said, "So what if you can't bear to part with it? It would be fine if it was someone else, but I grew up with Yu Ling. "You don't trust me anymore, how can I keep her by my side?"

Yan Ling suddenly fell silent. Just now, she had immediately understood Princess Guangyan's thoughts. Princess Zhaoyan was a straightforward and honest person. Normally, people like her would not tolerate sand in their eyes.

To a certain extent, Yu Ling's way of doing things might not be wrong, but in the eyes of Princess Zhaoyan, it was a grave mistake.

Princess Zhaoyan had never been afraid of the wrongdoings of those around her. She was only afraid that she would not trust him even though she was his sister and his kin.

It seemed like the reason Princess Zhaoyan insisted on chasing out Yu Ling despite the unhappiness in her heart was because of this.

If that was the case, Yan Ling didn't know what to say. However, when Yan Ling was not paying attention, Li Yi quietly lowered his head.
