Chapter 119 Asking for help
This cry of "sister-in-law" was sincere and heartfelt.
Ling Fengxun turned his head first, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Being stared at by that piercing gaze, Ling Changning's footsteps stopped instantly, and he looked at Ling Fengxun with fear.
"Uncle Xianxun!"
Seeing Ling Fengxun here, she actually backed off in her heart.
But thinking of her mother's situation, she had to do this.
An Yunxi signaled Wen Lingrou to take her mother away.
The two did not stay to hold An Yunxi back, and they left faster.
An Yunxi turned around and smiled at Ling Changning who was walking towards her.
"Princess Changning, do you have anything to talk to me about?"
When Ling Changning saw An Yunxi, her eyes instantly turned red, as if she had seen a relative.
She left the palace maid where she was and trotted to An Yunxi.
"Sister-in-law, Changning wants to ask you for something!"
As she spoke, she was about to reach out to hold An Yunxi's hand.
An Yunxi took a step back, avoiding Ling Changning's move, then raised her eyes and smiled, "Your Highness, I am not your sister-in-law, you called the wrong person."
Ling Changning was stunned for a moment.
When she called An Yunxi sister-in-law before, An Yunxi would remind her like this, but her eyes were not as cold as they are now.
She pursed her lips, and her eyes showed an extremely innocent look.
"Does Sister Xier also think that Changning is a bad person?"
An Yunxi glanced at Ling Changning, her expression slightly hesitant, "I know that Changning, you have always been kind-hearted, and it is impossible for you to do such a thing."
Ling Changning's expression was obviously relaxed.
She raised her eyes carefully, her eyes were red.
"I have something to say to my sister, sister Xier, can I have a word with you for a while?"
An Yunxi couldn't refuse, and glanced at Ling Fengxun.
"Your Highness, the princess has something to do, so I will accompany her first."
Ling Fengxun frowned, looking at Ling Changning with displeasure.
"Be careful."
An Yunxi secretly winked at Ling Fengxun.
Of course she would be careful, and even give her a big gift.
Seeing An Yunxi take the initiative to follow her, Ling Changning quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Her heartbeat was like a drum, and she led An Yunxi to the empty side hall.
"Sister Xier, please sit down first and listen to me slowly."
There was no one here. There
were only An Yunxi and Ling Changning.
This place is very secluded, and almost no one would come here.
However, this is not the first time An Yunxi has come here.
In her previous life, she was drugged by Ling Changning in this place.
An Yunxi sat opposite Ling Changning and saw that the other party took the initiative to pour her a cup of tea.
The tea was hot, and it should have been prepared in advance.
"Please drink a sip of water first."
An Yunxi took the teacup gently.
"Your Highness, just say what you want to say."
She just held the cup and did not drink it.
Ling Changning narrowed his eyes, thinking that An Yunxi didn't speak because the tea was too hot, and immediately spoke aggrievedly.
"Sister Xier, I was wronged. My mother had to admit that she killed those people in order to protect me. The real murderer was actually the imperial concubine. We were framed by her!"
An Yunxi's face was full of hatred.
"I didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so hateful. Your Highness, don't be sad. Since you and the queen were both wronged, you can find evidence and go to the emperor to redress your grievances for yourself and the queen!"
Ling Changning was stunned, and then bit the corner of her lip.
"It's too late. The noble concubine set up such a trap, which angered the empress dowager. She wants to depose my mother from the position of empress. Now only sister can help me!"
An Yunxi showed an embarrassed expression.
"I am afraid that I can't help Your Highness the Princess because of my humble status and insignificant words. If it really doesn't work, Your Highness the Princess can ask the prince to come forward."
Ling Changning shook her head.
How could she drag the emperor's brother into it.
Whether she and her mother can stand firm in the harem in the future depends on the emperor's brother. This matter must not be known to him.
"Sister, don't say that. Not only have you pleased Uncle Xuan, but you have also made the empress dowager treat you with a smile. As long as you say a word, you will definitely be able to get a little grace for my mother!"
An Yunxi has never seen such a shameless person.
Even if she could get someone to release the empress with just one word, why should she help her?
She hid the deep meaning in her eyes and pretended to know nothing.
Ling Changning had acted to deceive her before, but now it was her turn.
"Your Highness, if it was any other crime, it would be fine. But now the empress is suspected of murdering the little grandson. If I go to the empress dowager to plead for mercy, I might be punished. How about this, Your Highness, find a way to let me meet the empress, and wait until I find out the whole story and find evidence before pleading for mercy. What do you think, Your Highness?"
Ling Changning's eyes lit up instantly.
"I knew that Sister Xier is the best. If my mother can get out this time, Changning will be very grateful."
An Yunxi was also smiling.
Looking at Ling Changning was like looking at a little fool.
She had sold him out, and he still had to help her count the money.
If the queen knew that her most beloved daughter had sent her to a dead end, I wonder what kind of expression would appear on her face?
Ling Changning directly raised the teacup, her eyes full of emotion.
"Sister Xier, I'm so happy that you can help. How about I use tea instead of wine to toast you."
An Yunxi curled her lips, "Your Highness, you are too polite. Please."
Just as she was about to drink, she suddenly lowered her eyes, moved her feet under the table, and stepped heavily on Ling Changning.
The pain on the back of his foot made Ling Changning scream unconsciously, and let go of the teacup to look at his feet.
An Yunxi flexibly exchanged the teacup in her hand with Ling Changning, and then hurriedly stood up to apologize.
"Your Highness, are you okay? It's all my fault for being too careless. I actually stepped on your foot!"
Ling Changning endured the pain and forced a smile on her face.
She waved her hand, looking quite generous.
"It's okay, Sister Xier, let's continue drinking tea."
An Yunxi nodded and said with a smile: "Your Highness is magnanimous, I will drink first as a sign of respect."
Seeing An Yunxi drink up the tea in one gulp, Ling Changning drank the tea in his cup with deep eyes.
