"If I remember correctly, Shen Qingzhi is your student, isn't he?" He paused. "Prime Minister Yan, don't be nervous. I still believe in you."
Yan Baihui was almost scared to death and could only force a couple of awkward laughs.
Turning to look at Yan Jingzhi, whose mouth had been gagged, he felt a headache coming on. "My daughter was just talking nonsense, Your Highness, please don't take it to heart."
With her mouth gagged, Yan Jingzhi was clearly unaware of the seriousness of the situation and just kept struggling.
"Why is Prime Minister Yan in such a hurry? I'd like to know who the mastermind is that Miss Yan is talking about?" Wen Yichu's eyes fell back on Yan Jingzhi.
"It is the Second Prince, Your Highness. Everything I have said is true, and I have not lied to you." After the cloth covering Yan Jingzhi's mouth was removed, she spoke as if she had grasped a lifeline.

Yan Bai replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will have someone send her to a country estate so that she can properly cultivate her character."
Yan Jingzhi felt utterly hopeless at this moment.
She never imagined things would turn out this way; she had only been in the book for less than half a year, and yet she had ended up like this.
She's clearly the one who got the script, the female lead.
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold again. After an unusual silence, Wen Yichu finally relented:
