”Your highness, there's really no one that can order this servant around. Your servant really doesn't know why that thing would appear in this prince's broth …”
”And you, where did you get that poison?”
”Your servant, your servant is …”
Bai Zhiling watched from the side. If she didn't guess wrongly, it was very likely that Baili Xing didn't bring back the letter!
She was still thinking of getting the divorce papers first before clearing her suspicions. Now that there was no divorce papers, what was the point in waiting!
She looked at him coldly, lowered her voice and said, ”Still dreaming of becoming Baili Xing's concubine? Wake up, even if it's a success, you'll only be able to become an abandoned child. If you don't want to die, then honestly tell me.
Bai Zhiling's words were like sharp swords stabbing into her heart.
She understood now that the situation had escalated to this point and the prince had even gone to court, but he still hadn't been able to do anything to her. It was clear that she really couldn't be underestimated.
But was it really possible to save them now?
”Ah …” Prince, please spare my life. This servant really doesn't know anything … Your servant is wronged … ”
In a moment, Yu'er's piercing scream filled her ears, causing her to tremble in fear and turn pale.
She subconsciously looked towards Bai Tinglan, but Bai Tinglan was minding her own business and didn't notice her at all.
She seemed to understand that what the wangfei said might indeed be true.
Even if it did happen, what awaited her would not be the promised result.
If he helped the wangfei now, he might be able to keep his life. At the very least, he might be able to live …
”Your Highness, this servant will admit anything, this servant will admit anything!”
Seeing her heart in such a state, Bai Tinglan's hands subconsciously tightened under her sleeves.
”Someone ordered this servant, and it wasn't the wangfei who ordered this servant to deliver the broth to the prince's study.”
Baili Xing looked at her. ”Who is it?”
”This servant, this servant doesn't know who, but a black clothed man gave the powder to this servant and even fed the servant poison, saying that this servant would do as he said. If I don't do it, this servant will be poisoned to death, this servant has seen that man walk by the side of the imperial concubine, please spare me, Your Highness …”
”How dare you! You still want to bite my wife even at a time like this!” Bai Tinglan had always been careful when she did things. Naturally, she would not leave any evidence behind.
”Your servant … Your servant didn't lie. Your servant really saw that man appear by the side of the concubine's side …”
”You wrongly accused our princess consort, slandered our princess consort, and even tried to harm our prince. You deserve to die a thousand times for this crime!” Someone, drag her away and tear her into ten thousand pieces! ” Bai Tinglan panicked a little and could only shout out loud. If she had known earlier, she would have taken them down and killed them!
”His entire body went limp and he collapsed onto the ground.” ”Spare me, your highness, please spare me …” ”Esteemed wangfei, this servant knows that I was wrong. Please save this servant, I don't want to die …”
Bai Zhiling's eyelids twitched.
”Seeing that you've served me for a while, I'll leave you with an intact corpse.”
He was completely dumbfounded this time.
She'd thought that no matter what, the wangfei would protect her life. Was it even useful for her to go back on her words now …
The answer, of course, is... Useless!
Before she could say a word, a guard had already rushed forward to stop her mouth and drag her out.
She could only stare at Bai Tinglan with wide eyes, unwilling to give up.
She regretted it. She really regretted it. If she had served the wangfei like a full moon, this wouldn't have been such a miserable ending!
Those who deserved to be punished had already been punished. Everyone in the manor was terrified, fearing that the matter would affect them.
Through this incident, the servants understood that this wangfei, who had been humiliated in all sorts of ways back then, was really not as simple as they thought!
They had originally been pushed to the bottom, but in the blink of an eye, they had somehow managed to turn things around. If this wasn't terrifying, then what was?
Bai Zhiling had been sitting here for a long time, thinking that she could get what she wanted. She did not expect to be happy for nothing. She could not help but feel disappointed. ”Your Highness, if there's nothing else, chenqie will take her leave now.”
