Chapter 18 There is no escaping the living crime
"Queen Mother, since Miss Meng has already known that she was wrong, then this matter will be left behind." Ling Yuwei thought for a moment in her heart, and said such a thing with a chuckle.
Although she didn't like Meng Ruolan as a person, and her approach this time was indeed a bit excessive, she didn't want to take Meng Ruolan's life or even the entire Meng family because of this, that would be too cruel.
It's just that as soon as Ling Yuwei's words fell, everyone present couldn't believe it, they didn't expect that she would forgive Meng Ruolan so easily.
But Nangong Yi didn't seem surprised, a subtle smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and she was really a different woman.
Unconsciously, Ling Yuwei's faint chuckle had inadvertently broken into the forbidden place in his heart, but maybe even he hadn't noticed it yet......
"Wei'er, are you sure you want to do this?" The queen was also a little stunned, she didn't expect Ling Yuwei to forgive Meng Ruolan like this, if it was someone else who had such an opportunity, she would definitely retaliate in turn.
"As the saying goes, you can be forgiving and forgiving, not to mention that today is Niangniang's birthday, so why let these little things disturb the fun?" Ling Yuwei didn't want to affect the queen's birthday banquet because of herself, so she hoped that this matter could end quickly.
"Wei'er is right, you can't let these little things affect the queen's birthday, but for Meng Ruolan, the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped." The emperor's eyes also cast a glint of approval on Ling Yuwei, he was sure that a woman with such an open-minded mind would never be an ordinary woman in the future.
"Thank you, Lord Longen, Lan'er is willing to be punished." Meng Ruolan was not half grateful to Ling Yuwei in her heart, but thought that she was the fault of her for ending up like this.
"Meng Ruolan, I will punish you to go home and think about it for three months, and from now on, you will not be able to step into the palace for half a step, let alone harm Wei'er's thoughts, otherwise you will never be spared." A vicious woman like Meng Ruolan is the most disgusting to the emperor, so he doesn't want to forgive her so easily.
A spoiled daughter like Meng Ruolan can do such an excessive thing in the majestic palace, if she doesn't give her a little color, maybe she will do something even more excessive in the future.
"Thank you for the emperor's kindness, Lan'er will be punished." After listening to the emperor's dictation, Meng Ruolan's whole body couldn't help but tremble, although she didn't want to accept such a punishment, but there was no way, after all, the emperor had forgiven her capital crime.
It's just that Meng Ruolan didn't feel wrong in her heart because of this, but what she was thinking about was how to take revenge on Ling Yuwei next time.
Even if she can't enter the palace from now on, she believes that there will always be a moment when she and Ling Yuwei will meet again, and she doesn't believe that she can be so lucky every time, and one day she will let her be planted in her hands.
Ling Yufei, who had been standing next to her, was secretly glad in her heart, fortunately she didn't make a move just now, otherwise she wouldn't be able to escape now.
Meng Ruolan's matter made her understand that dealing with Ling Yuwei was by no means a simple matter, and everything needed to be considered in the long run.
Now her jealousy of Ling Yuwei in her heart is getting deeper and deeper, because she has always liked Nangong Yi, but he almost never looks at herself squarely, and there are very few words to say to her.
But today he stood up to speak for Ling Yuwei, and even the eyes that looked at her were so different.
Why is this so? Could it be that he fell in love with Ling Yuwei?
No, how is this possible?
Not only does she have a peerless appearance, but she is also the first talented woman in Nanling Kingdom, and although Ling Yuwei is not stupid, the black birthmark on her face is still so ugly, Nangong Yi has absolutely no reason not to like herself but to like Ling Yuwei.
Maybe everything today is just a coincidence, Ling Yufei comforted herself in her heart.
"Let's all disperse, and that's the end of today's banquet." was made such a fuss by Meng Ruolan, and the queen had no interest in continuing to hold a banquet, so she sent everyone away.
After listening to the queen's words, Meng Xiao helped Meng Ruolan to leave with some distress, he was such a precious daughter, he originally thought that with the power of the family, he could let her marry into the royal family, but he didn't expect it to end up like this now.
Not to mention marrying into the royal family, there will be no chance to enter the palace in the future, Meng Xiao felt sorry for Meng Ruolan but had no choice but to accept all this helplessly.
When Meng Ruolan passed by Ling Yuwei's side, she glared at her fiercely, her eyes were full of unwillingness and hatred, she planned everything so deliberately, not only did she not hurt Ling Yuwei half a point in the end, but also caused herself and the general's mansion to lose face, and she will definitely get back all the humiliation she suffered today.
Ling Yuwei didn't pay attention to Meng Ruolan, since she still couldn't let go, let her go, I just hoped that she wouldn't have any intersection with her in the future.
When Meng Ruolan was leaving, she reluctantly glanced at Leng Wuchen not far away, but she was a little aggrieved in her heart, everything she did today was for him, but when she was in danger, he didn't say a word for her.
But as long as Meng Ruolan thought that Leng Wuchen had broken off the marriage contract with Ling Yuwei, the grievances in her heart were a little less, because she believed that Leng Wuchen did all this for her, and one day he would marry her.
"Wei'er, are you alright?" After Meng Xiao and Meng Ruolan left, Zhao Jingyi asked with a distressed face, she really couldn't imagine what would happen if Ling Yuwei was really pushed into the lake by Meng Ruolan.
"Mother, don't worry, Wei'er is fine." Ling Yuwei chuckled and comforted Zhao Jingyi, in fact, even if Meng Ruolan's conspiracy succeeded, she would be fine, because she could swim, and she was very good.
It's just that how could Meng Ruolan know all this?
"Sister, it's good to see that you're okay." At this moment, Ling Yufei also pretended to be very concerned and walked over, in fact, she just wanted to show herself in front of Nangong Yi, and she didn't really care at all.
"Thank you for your concern." Ling Yuwei smiled faintly, in fact, she had already seen Ling Yufei's personality clearly, she didn't harm herself, how could she care about herself?
But since she wants to act, she doesn't need to expose her true colors so quickly, she wants to see what she wants to do.
Ling Yuwei's eyes inadvertently saw Nangong Yi not far away, and the gratitude in her heart spontaneously arose, if it wasn't for him today, she might not have been so easy to get innocent.
Thinking like this, Ling Yuwei's footsteps couldn't help but walk towards Nangong Yi.
Although there were many other people in the Imperial Garden, the two of them stood out in an instant, one was dressed in a light blue gauze skirt, and the other was dressed in a moon-white brocade dress, so elegant and eye-catching.
