TICIEC Chapter 16.2

“You and Ning Meiren have a deep sisterly relationship, so why do you insist on moving out of Yonghe Palace?” Qiu Xia was even more confused.

You had such a good relationship with her that you stayed with her even after she fell out of favor.

Why did you have to move out?

“Alas, you don’t understand.” Tang Miaoling continued to sigh.

Who won’t be afraid of a ruthless person living next door who kills people faster than she kills chickens?

And, the people she killed included her.

Qiu Xia was completely confused. She really couldn’t understand what this young lady was thinking.

Could it be that she was too old and couldn’t keep up with the ideas of young people?

Tang Miaoling was really scared of her cousin. She wandered around for a long time, repeating to herself, ‘My cousin is so kind!’, a hundred times. Finally, she mustered up the courage to deliver medicine to her cousin and witnessed Li Jieyu committing fraud on the spot.

“Stop! I saw it with my own eyes just now. Ning Meiren didn’t touch you at all. You fell down on purpose!”

Tang Miaoling glared at Li Jieyu fiercely. Then, turning to look at Ning Wanyin, the arrogance in her eyes instantly weakened.

She quietly moved two steps away from Ning Wanyin and continued to yell at Li Jieyu, “You are slandering Ning Meiren!”

Li Jieyu was a little surprised that Tang Miaoling would stand up for Ning Wanyin.

Although they are cousins, if they have a very good relationship, Tang Miaoling will not move out in a hurry.

She doesn’t want to offend the Tang family, but compared to pleasing Xue Zhaoyi, the Tang family is nothing.

“You and Ning Meiren are cousins, so naturally, you’re speaking in her favor.” Li Jieyu dismissed the question lightly and continued,

“Slap her!”

“Don’t move! Who dares to hit my cousin?” Tang Miaoling quickly stepped in front of Ning Wanyin.

“Cui Ping, Qiu Xia, quickly protect my cousin!”

The palace maids and eunuchs accompanying her immediately blocked Ning Wanyin behind them.

Ning Wanyin looked at Tang Miaoling in surprise. Her personality had changed quite drastically.

Ning Wanyin would never let her guard down just because of the kindness shown by others.

There are many cases of people pretending to be friendly and then stabbing others in the back.

She remembers the favor, but she won’t let her guard down.

The noise outside the door alarmed the palace maids and eunuchs of Lingxue Pavilion, but they did not dare to move rashly. They did not want to offend Li Jieyu for the disgraced Ning Wanyin, so they just watched from the side.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate…

“The Emperor has arrived!” The eunuch in the distance shouted.

Li Jieyu looked up in shock, her eyes fixed on the imperial procession. Amidst a sea of ​​dragon flags and canopies, a man in a bright yellow dragon robe sat atop a dragon chariot.

He had a handsome face, but his expressionless expression emanated an air of commanding authority.

“This concubine greets the Emperor!”

Everyone knelt down.

Helian Qi walked down from the dragon chariot and went straight to Ning Wanyin.

He heard Lian Rui’s sobbing and urged the eunuchs to come quickly. But the first time he saw Ning Wanyin, he knew that his worries were unnecessary.

The woman stood quietly, her expression calm, not a hint of fear or nervousness.

This only made him seem anxious.

“I heard Li Jieyu was going to punish you, yet you seemed so calm and at ease.” Helian Qi looked at Ning Wanyin, his voice as clear as a spring without any emotion.

Ning Wanyin raised her eyes to look at him, her watery eyes sparkling, with three parts of joy and seven parts of obedience.

“Because I know that Your Majesty is fair and will definitely uphold justice for me!”

Helian Qi couldn’t help but curl his thin lips.

She was clearly intelligent, calm, and composed, and she could still praise him. Ning Shi was indeed interesting.

Helian Qi reached out his hand to Ning Wanyin, helped her up, and then said calmly,

“Li Jieyu, you have slandered a concubine. I demoted you to a guiren.”

“Your Majesty, this is unjust! It was really Ning Wanyin who hit me. Tang Miaoling is her cousin, so she helped her to give false testimony…” Li Jieyu hurriedly cried out for justice.

Helian Qi ignored her and continued, “Move out of Yonghe Palace.”
