After leaving Bai Yiyi's room, Snow Cherry lowered her head and sneered. She muttered to herself, "Do you think this is the end? "You have to understand that usually, smart people die faster."

The next morning, Yan Ling was still drinking tea in his own courtyard when Li Yi ran in from outside in a hurry. From the looks of her expression, she seemed to be in a state of panic.

It seemed like it was due to the previous matter. Although Li Yi was very nervous, he wasn't so flustered that he didn't know what to do. At the same time, he was also able to explain the whole situation clearly to Yan Ling.

"Miss, something big happened! "The lady from the Bai Clan who argued with you at the banquet yesterday died. She didn't die from typhoid fever, but from poisoning …" Li Yi said while gasping for air.

Just when Yan Ling was still unable to understand what was going on, Qingyu followed behind Li Yi and slowly stood to the side as she started to explain.

"Miss should know that Imperial Physician Bai and our Prime Minister have never been on good terms. The two families could be considered political enemies. With such a thing happening, Imperial Physician Bai naturally wishes to make a fuss about it. Thus, he claims that it was the young miss who did it and has already reported it to the emperor. " Qingyu also sounded a little worried.

Yan Ling frowned as he heard this. Yesterday, the woman from the Bai Clan was still quarreling with him. Moreover, he had caused such a ruckus in the Consort Palace, so many people had already seen it. However, on the second day, the girl from the Bai Clan died because of the poisoning.

From the way he died, it was obvious that someone intentionally poisoned him. As for Ling, due to the previous incident, he immediately became the biggest suspect.

When they were still at the palace yesterday, Yan Ling and Princess Zhao Yan had suspected that the reason Bai Yiyi had been so brazen was because she had someone backing her up or instigating her. Now it seemed that it was indeed possible.

If the person behind Bai Yiyi was the one who killed Bai Yiyi, then it could be said to be a plan to kill two birds with one stone. He had already gotten rid of the person who knew his secret, and he had also successfully coerced Yan Ling into a situation that everyone suspected.

Right now, this matter had probably spread like wildfire. Even if this matter were to be brought to light, there would be many people who felt that this matter had nothing to do with Yan Ling.

Besides, the imperial household would probably pay more attention to such matters. Right now, both the esteemed empress and the consort seemed to have some complaints against Yan Ling. If such a murder were to occur again, the emperor's arranged marriage would probably be delayed.

From this perspective, no matter who Yan Ling liked, there would be no conclusion in a short period of time. It seemed that the man was after one of the princes.

Only after hearing Qingyu's explanation did Yan Ling start to think. He didn't know why, but he had a sudden flash of insight. Yan Ling did not know whether to laugh or cry after realizing the crux of the matter. It seemed that he had once again met with an unexpected calamity.

"What's the situation outside?" If my guess is not wrong, someone should be quickly sent from the palace to let me go in to take a look. " After thinking it through, Yan Ling calmed down.

If he was the only one who would be implicated in this matter, the Prime Minister's Estate might not think much of it. However, the meaning behind the Bai Yue's words clearly involved the entire Residence of Prime Minister.

If that was the case, then how could the Prime Minister remain indifferent? As long as the Prime Minister was involved, it would not be a simple matter to convict Yan Ling.

Furthermore … Yan Ling believed that Liang He would definitely not ignore this matter. If he were to interfere, then the responsibility of investigating would most likely be handed over to Liang He.

If that was the case, they would have a chance to find the real killer and clean themselves up.

Yan Ling could clearly see that the emperor had always admired him, but now that his two sons were trying to marry him, the emperor was more or less a little dissatisfied.

However, the Emperor's thoughts naturally differed from those of the two emperors from the imperial harem. The emperor was probably worried that the two princes would use the opportunity of marriage to rope him in and scheme for the throne.

Thus, the Emperor would not speak so arrogantly at a time like this, because he still needed Yan Ling to capture the hearts of his two sons. However, at the same time, it also meant that in order to balance the power of the two princes, the Emperor would not easily allow Yan Ling to marry one of them.

It was such a complicated relationship that, to a certain extent, guaranteed that words would not be easily punished. If that was the case, Yan Ling suddenly felt relieved.

"His Highness the Crown Prince naturally stood up to protect the innocence of the young lady. He said that he wanted to help Imperial Physician Bai find out the truth and then return the innocence of the young lady." Li Yi said somewhat excitedly.

Although Yan Ling already knew that this might be the result, he was still somewhat moved when he heard it. He was not mistaken about Liang He.

"The Prime Minister's side is also working with the Crown Prince to protect the young miss." Qingyu softly added.

However, it was clear to all three of them that the prime minister was doing this to protect Yan Ling, or to protect the reputation of the Prime Minister's estate.

"Both of you, don't worry. I'm fine. Furthermore, based on the current situation, it is still obviously beneficial to me. " Yan Ling was always calm at this moment.

In the eyes of others, even though the sky was about to collapse from anxiety, it didn't seem worth mentioning to Yan Ling. Not only did he not need the guidance of others, he was instead comforting others.

Yan Ling seemed to want to say something more, but at this moment, everyone in the palace had already entered.

Although he had barged in directly, his attitude was still rather polite. Since Yan Ling was not yet convicted, then he would still be the young miss of the Prime Minister's Estate. This group of people might not dare to offend him too much.

"You two don't have to worry, I'll naturally come back once I enter the palace. It'll be fine." Before Yan Ling left, he turned around to comfort the two little girls who were standing behind him.

Yan Ling was originally walking in front of them, but then he noticed that a small palace maid was staring at him from behind, as if she wanted to say something to him. Although Yan Ling was a little curious, she didn't know the people in the palace, so she felt that she was overthinking it.

When they arrived at the carriage prepared for the Prime Minister's mansion, the girl who seemed to be hesitating before speaking immediately stepped forward and pulled Yan Ling onto the carriage.

During this process, Ling Tian could clearly hear that little palace maid say something to her in a voice that only two people could hear.

"This servant is here to help His Highness the crown prince deliver a message to Miss Yan. The crown prince has ordered her not to be nervous, everything is in his hands. He definitely won't let anything happen to her." With that, the little palace maid returned to her original position as if nothing had happened.
