"Then other people also said they poisoned the emperor's food?"
"Yes." A Ling replied with sobs, "After the slave confessed, he did not release the slave. He was kept in detention until yesterday. He was only released yesterday. After he came out, he found out that Princess Qing had been negotiating with the young lady these days, and the young lady agreed. Only this slave can go back."
"What happens after you go back?" Ape asked.
A Ling's lips trembled and he said: "After we returned, the master said that the slaves had betrayed their masters and wanted to put us to death. The young lady tried to protect us, saying that if the slaves were put to death, she would rather die than marry, so she saved the slaves, but everyone else He was executed, and even his family members were not spared.”
She began to cry bitterly, saying that she had harmed the young lady, and if she died, the young lady would not be blackmailed into marrying Lin's concubine.
Ape did not comfort her, turned around and went out, telling Leng Xiao these words.
After listening to this, Leng Xiao felt that the lives of these servants were really nothing.
The same was true for Wenzhu and Wenlan before. They were coerced by Prime Minister Leng, and all the family members were in his hands. If they disobeyed, they would be punished, and they were asked to value loyalty more than their own lives.
However, in daily life, they may not be very nice to these slaves. They bark and drink like dogs.
Lu Zhilan, on the other hand, was somewhat sincere towards A Ling.
When she came to beg her, A Ling had not been released yet, but she insisted on this and was willing to agree only after releasing A Ling. Only then could A Ling escape.
Otherwise, she would be just a lonely soul now.
"Princess, do we need to do anything?" Ape asked.
"No need." Leng Xiao shook her head slowly. She just wanted to think clearly about the whole thing, but she was really unhappy because Princess Qing used the turtle eggs to make a fuss again.
As a princess, if she intervened in this matter, Lu Zhilan would not have to marry Lin Zimo as a concubine.
However, there are a lot of troubles involved in this matter, so she should keep a low profile at this time.
She told the queen in the palace to keep a low profile. If she interfered in a high-profile manner, she would be kicking herself in the face.
Moreover, she really didn't want to cause trouble for Nangong Yitian.
"Place A Ling in place, we don't care about the rest." Leng Xiao said again.
"Yes!" How much did Apei pity Aling? Maybe everyone was running errands, and some things hurt others.
However, she sympathized with her, but she understood clearly that if the East Palace intervened in this matter, it would be like having trouble with the Princess Mansion again. Although she was not afraid, it was not necessary.
Nangong Yitian came back in the afternoon and wanted to arrange the Lantern Festival trip tonight.
Leng Xiao told him that he had taken A Ling in and treated her injuries. Nangong Yitian only asked, "Is it hard?"
"It's not hard, it's okay." Leng Xiao said.
He pulled Leng Xiao over, lowered his head and kissed her, "Just follow your heart and do these things. I will take care of the big things for you."
Leng Xiao felt warm in her heart. It felt good to have someone protecting her.
Traveling in the evening, Xiaoguidan and Tianen were very happy and excitedly discussed the fireworks they saw on the carriage.
Leng Xiao opened the curtain and saw the excitement outside, with everyone's faces filled with the joy of the festival.
Nangong Yitian looked at her, "Do you like fireworks?"
"Bright is bright, but it is fleeting." Leng Xiao doesn't like things that can't be held and doesn't dare to like them, but they are going to watch fireworks tonight, so they don't want to spoil the fun, "So it's hard to say whether they like it or not. It’s good to be happy when you have time...I always like to look at beautiful things.”
"Mom, I really like looking at beautiful things." Little Turtle Egg said seriously.
