If these words today were to reach the emperor someday, I wonder what kind of suspicion and suspicion would be waiting for the King of Wei.
"Wait, I wonder what your Highness the Prince of Wei means? It's not appropriate to deal with my people while I'm away, right?"
In the drizzle, Ling Yi walked over gracefully, holding an umbrella.
The snow-white gown was not stained with dust even in the rain. With every step she took, raindrops seemed to fall on a layer of barrier and spontaneously dispersed to the surroundings. Such a noble and transcendent aura made the eyes of everyone present brighten.
However, this person who was originally as gentle as jade, when he saw Li Yuan standing in the rain, soaked all over, his peerless eyes narrowed slightly.
A cold light suddenly flashed across the corner of his eyes, and the umbrella in his hand flicked lightly. With that force, the umbrella fell accurately above Li Yuan's head. In white clothes, Ling Yi suddenly appeared in front of King Wei.
He raised his eyebrows with a smile: "Why? Shouldn't the King of Wei explain?"
The King of Wei probably didn't expect Ling Yi to appear at this moment.
Especially, the young man in front of him seemed to be smiling, but he made people shiver.
The King of Wei was very unhappy with his own reaction. His eyes darkened for a moment, and his sinister eyes were full of brutality.
"Explain? What do you want me to explain? Explain why you speak so arrogantly and talk so much?
This prince would like to ask you, the young master of Lingjia Manor, how do you teach people?
If you don't have the courage, I don't mind doing it for you!"
Ling Yi was so angry that he laughed, and the corners of his lips suddenly raised a cold arc.
"Speaking wildly? Making irresponsible remarks? Being arrogant?
Haha, may I ask, Your Highness the Prince of Wei, are you talking about you or my people?
From the beginning to the end, you are the one who said that you would put my people to death, right?
In the beginning, what was the purpose of my people coming here?
Is there any disrespect towards you?
Instead, you are the one who is disrespectful to our elders and challenges our limits again and again. Why?
If the prince wants to take this opportunity to take revenge on Lingjiazhuang for not wanting to come to your house to detoxify you a month ago, and therefore wants to rely on Lingjiazhuang here, I have nothing to say."
The King of Wei's face instantly turned the color of liver due to Ling Yi's attack: "How dare you! What are you talking about? When did I start to rely on your Ling Family Manor?"
"When? It started when my sister rescued Ling'er, but the prince was unwilling to let us go.
I just don't believe it. Just a cold is enough to mobilize so many troops. If you don't trust the imperial doctors of the four countries, don't you still have the female doctor? Why do you have to arrest our Lingjiazhuang again and again?
Well, our people have arrived, but you refuse to allow them to receive treatment. You want to kill them without any reason. I would like to ask, is this the so-called supremacy of imperial power?
"Your Highness, Prince of Wei, are you the so-called emperor, or the so-called authority? Can you treat human life as worthless?"
The veins on King Wei's head were throbbing, and his lungs were about to explode with anger. "You, you are slandering me, slandering me. When did I ever say that? Don't take my words out of context!"
Ling Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his voice as cold as an ice cone: "Whether there is nonsense or not, whether there is quoting out of context is not up to me to decide. Everyone standing here has heard it with their own ears. When we go before the emperor later, he will make his own judgment.
The people of Lingjiazhuang will not allow anyone to slander us. Your Highness, Prince Wei, please go ahead. If you have any grievances or hatreds, you can report them to the emperor. Lingjiazhuang will fight to the end."
After saying this, without even looking at the pale face of King Wei, he turned to look at the people around him, clasped his fists respectfully and half bowed to them.
"Everyone, this is about the reputation of Lingjia Manor and the Prince of Wei's Mansion. Please rest assured that no matter what you say, Lingjia Manor will have no regrets, no hatred, and no coercion or bribery. Here, Ling Yi will use his own reputation as a guarantee, please."
No one expected Ling Yi to be so decisive. He said he would go to the emperor and left without giving anyone time to think. Especially Li Wensheng's face, which was even darker than the bottom of a pot.
It was a great shame and humiliation for him, the King of Wei, to be forced to this point by a junior.
But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. The other person clearly meant well, but in the end, not only did he not end up well, but he also got into trouble. No one would be happy if this happened to them!
If this matter really came to the attention of the Emperor, the King of Wei would not only lose face, but would also face suspicion and doubt from the Emperor.
This is a completely thankless business. I don’t know what the King of Wei is thinking. There are so many people he could mess with, but he chose to mess with Lingjiazhuang.
Could it be that my daughter’s illness is not as serious as that bad temper?
But at this moment, no one was willing to give him a way out. Not to mention whether what he said was appropriate or not, if it was not done well, it would offend Lingjiazhuang.
Rather than ending up in a bad situation for both sides, it is better not to say anything from the beginning.
Although this is the wish of most people, there is an exception, such as Li Hongtao who has never spoken.
Seeing that the King of Wei was about to be pushed to the limit, he, who never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, unexpectedly stood up, walked in front of Ling Yi, and politely said as an elder,
"Nephew, this may be a misunderstanding. The King of Wei has no other intentions. He just saw that the little girl was in a bad mood, so he wanted to teach her a lesson on your behalf. After all, this little girl came here to represent your Lingjiazhuang. It would be bad if any misunderstandings arose.
As for you, don't take it too seriously. How about this, for my sake, let's both take a step back and let this matter go. What do you think?"
When the King of Wei heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Li Hongtao coldly, and snorted. It was obvious that he was not very satisfied with his words, but he couldn't refuse him, so he simply frowned and said nothing.
Ling Yi didn't look at Li Hongtao, but turned his head to look at Li Yuan, with a hint of smile: "Girl, how do you think we should deal with this?"
Li Yuan was not surprised that Ling Yi said this, but everyone else was shocked. How could the young master of Lingjia Manor throw the face of Prince Kang and Prince Wei to a little girl who had just been wronged?
Is it that this girl is very proud, or are all the people in Lingjiazhuang like this, ahem, considerate of their servants?
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Li Yuan. They looked left and right, up and down, but could not see much from Li Yuan.
This woman doesn't look very old, her figure isn't good, her face isn't pretty, and her dark complexion is especially unsightly. What on earth does the young master see in her?
At this time, Li Yuan was thinking, why did Li Hongtao speak?
As far as she knew, the relationship between King Wei and Li Hongtao was not hostile, but it was not good either. Logically, according to his previous style, he would definitely add insult to injury at this time.
But not only did he not do that, he even came forward to help him. This was not his usual style!
Could it be that the fall of these four princesses into the water was really related to those idiots in Prince Kang’s mansion?
When she thought of this possibility, Li Yuan hesitated. Besides, given her current status, she shouldn't be too arrogant. If she created a bad reputation for the servants of Lingjiazhuang, she would really become a sinner.
Forget it, let’s just quit while we’re ahead. Anyway, the King of Wei didn’t gain anything from this battle, and that’s enough.
As for the future, we have a long time to go and have plenty of time to waste with them.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan immediately gave in to Ling Yi obediently: "I am afraid and dare not ask for too much. Master, just make the decision."
Ling Yi sighed with some regret after hearing this, then turned around and looked at Li Wensheng indifferently.
"The King of Wei must have heard this. My girl is so timid that she almost lost her life. If she dares to ask for anything else, she won't know what's waiting for her when she leaves this door. So, since Prince Kang has spoken, let's just leave it at that!"
Anyone could hear the reluctance in his tone, and the King of Wei was so angry that every cell in his body was shaking.
But I can't get angry. I can't really report this matter to the Emperor, right?
No matter how stupid he is, he knows that he is not in the right, and it will only do him no good if he continues to hold on to it.
Everyone can see the King of Wei's anger. At this point, who among us can't see it?
They simply took the opportunity to say goodbye, and just like that, one by one they all left the troubled place of King Wei.
In the end, only Li Yuan, Ling Yi and Prince Kang were left. They exchanged glances quickly and left happily.
As for the illness of the Princess of the Wei family, that was not their concern.
He can find whoever he wants, but they in Lingjiazhuang never want to come to this disgusting place again.
Not long after Prince Kang and his companions left, they heard the sound of porcelain breaking and the King of Wei cursing loudly in the yard. Ling Yi smiled mockingly and looked at Prince Kang: "Your Majesty, is this the effect you want?"
Li Hongtao's expression was also very unhappy. After hearing this, he sighed helplessly.
"It's not that I want to help him. It's just that when his princess fell into the water, my daughters were also present and even had a few arguments. He pushed the blame on my daughters. If I don't help at this time, who knows what trouble he will cause later!
I'll just give him some face, but I'm really sorry for making things difficult for my nephew!"
