Chapter 15: Deliberately framed
Ling Yuwei was indulging in the refreshing fragrance of cold plums at this moment, and she didn't notice Meng Ruolan approaching step by step behind her.
Meng Ruolan's footsteps were getting closer and closer to Ling Yuwei, and the hand hidden under the sleeve was slowly picked up and stretched out towards Ling Yuwei.
And all this was seen by Ling Yufei, she also knew very well what Meng Ruolan wanted to do, not only did she not stop it, but she also gloated a little.
This is the imperial garden in the palace, and Meng Ruolan is really bold enough to dare to attack Ling Yuwei here.
Although she also hated Ling Yuwei, she would not do such a reckless thing.
However, if Meng Ruolan can really get rid of Ling Yuwei this time, it can be regarded as relieving her of a serious trouble, and even if someone investigates it, they will only blame Meng Ruolan, and it will not affect her Ling Yufei at all.
Thinking like this, Ling Yufei closed her eyes tightly and silently prayed in her heart that Ling Yuwei would not turn around and that Meng Ruolan would be able to do it earlier.
At this moment, a loud "plop" and an exclamation came at the same time.
Ling Yufei opened her eyes quickly, and a smile spread on her face, listening to this voice, Meng Ruolan must have successfully pushed Ling Yuwei into the lake.
It's just that when Ling Yufei saw the person standing by the lake clearly, the smile instantly froze on her face, because that person was Ling Yuwei, and Meng Ruolan had disappeared.
Could it be that it wasn't Ling Yuwei who fell into the lake just now, but Meng Ruolan?
"Sister, what's going on?" Ling Yufei pretended not to know anything and quickly ran to the lake to look at the lake, only to see Meng Ruolan struggling in the water in pain, wanting to call for help but couldn't.
"It's nothing, it's just that your best friend fell into the lake." Ling Yuwei's eyes looked coldly at Meng Ruolan who was struggling in the lake, if she hadn't suddenly moved her position just now, maybe she would be the one in the lake now.
She really didn't expect Meng Ruolan to be so insidious, and she wanted to do this to her behind her back.
And what she didn't expect was that Ling Yufei witnessed all this with her own eyes, and she didn't stop it, and now she pretended to be so kind.
Who are these people? If it were modern, the age of fourteen or fifteen years old would be as beautiful as a flower, innocent and carefree, who would have such a vicious heart?
But she Ling Yuwei will not be afraid, in the cruel career of the workplace, what kind of struggle has she not seen?
Although she doesn't like the life of exhaustion and deceit, it doesn't mean that she can let others bully.
So this time, she wanted to see what Meng Ruolan and Ling Yufei wanted to do.
"Help, come on, someone's fallen into the lake." Ling Yuwei's calm and indifferent expression made Ling Yufei also startled, and then she reacted and began to call for help, she had to admit that Ling Yuwei was indeed different from before.
Ling Yufei's cry for help quickly attracted the eunuchs and maids in the palace, who came to watch one after another, but no one jumped into the lake to rescue them.
Because it is the middle of winter, the water in the lake must be cold and biting, and no one wants to suffer from this.
"General Meng's daughter fell into the lake, why don't you hurry up and go down to the rescue?" Ling Yufei saw that the eunuchs had not acted for a long time, so she told Meng Ruolan's identity.
Sure enough, when those eunuchs heard that it was the daughter of the general's family who fell into the lake, they didn't dare to hesitate anymore and quickly jumped into the water to rescue them.
When the eunuchs rescued Meng Ruolan, she was already shivering from the cold, dying, and spitting out sewage.
Due to the large movement here, some civil and military officials were also attracted to it.
"Lan'er, what's wrong with you?" The great general Meng Xiao asked in shock when he saw that the pearl in his palm had become so embarrassed.
"Dad, Lan'er is so cold and painful." When Meng Ruolan saw her father coming, all the grievances instantly came to her heart, and tears came out of her eyes.
She originally wanted to push Ling Yuwei into the lake and make her a soup chicken, so that she would definitely be laughed at by everyone, and she could extinguish the limelight at the banquet just now.
It's just that she never thought that when she used all her strength to push Ling Yuwei, she would suddenly move her position, causing her not only to throw herself into the air, but also to lose her center of gravity for a while and fall into the lake.
"Lan'er, why are you so careless?" Meng Xiao took the clothes brought by the palace maid and quickly put them on Meng Ruolan, his eyes were full of distress.
"Dad, it was Ling Yuwei who pushed Lan'er into the lake, you must be the master of Lan'er." Seeing Ling Yuwei who was nothing, Meng Ruolan's heart became even more angry, she would never stop this matter, and this cold and piercing pain must not be in vain.
She wanted to bite back and push all this to Ling Yuwei, anyway, no one else saw it at that time.
Now that she fell into the lake, it is true, and everyone will believe what she says.
"What? Ling Yuwei? Meng Xiao's face instantly became gloomy, and his sharp eyes shot straight at Ling Yuwei who was not far away.
He knew that Ling Yuwei was a fool before, but recently she had suddenly returned to normal, and he couldn't believe that she would do such a thing to his Lan'er.
"What happened?" At this time, the emperor and the queen also walked over slowly.
"Back to the emperor, Ling Yuwei, the daughter of the Prime Minister's family, pushed the little daughter of the last general into the lake, and asked the emperor to make the decision for the little girl." Meng Xiao also knew that Ling Yuwei was the queen's niece, so even if she was angry in her heart, she didn't dare to act rashly, she only hoped that the emperor could help deal with it.
"How is this possible?" Zhao Jingyi and Ling Xiaotian present had unbelievable expressions on their faces, their daughter would not have done such a thing even when she was stupid before, let alone that she had returned to normal now?
Ling Yuwei never said a word, just standing not far away with a light breeze, not arrogant, impatient or afraid, just looking at Meng Ruolan coldly.
She is really a treacherous and cunning person, obviously she fell into the lake because she wanted to frame herself and did not succeed, and now she is so upside down.
However, she Ling Yuwei is not easy to bully, since she Meng Ruolan wants to play, she will play with her and see who will kill in the end.
"Meng Ruolan, you said that Wei'er pushed you into the lake, do you have any evidence?" The queen's eyes were a little sharp when she looked at Meng Ruolan, she definitely didn't believe that Ling Yuwei would do such a thing, I am afraid that there was a conspiracy in this.
"Back to the queen mother, there was still Ling Yufei present at the time, she should have seen the whole passing." A trace of hesitation flashed in Meng Ruolan's eyes, and finally she said Ling Yufei in a desperate manner, hoping that she would still be able to maintain the same front with herself at this critical juncture.
Everyone's eyes were on Ling Yufei at the same time, not knowing what she would say.
