The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Ye Jinyu was so angry that her eyes turned red, but she couldn't find the words to refute.

Just then, a sharp voice came from the door.

"The Empress is here."

"Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen." Ye Jinyu ran to Shen Leyan and paid her respects immediately, as if she had seen a savior.

"Your Majesty, you are finally here. Li Jiayin is on the verge of death, yet you still dare to slander me here!"

"Don't believe her lies."

Ye Jinyu eloquently recounted her grievances. Shen Leyan had already known about what she had done.

She also promised her that as long as she was willing to reform herself and help rescue Master Shen and the others, the Queen would not pursue her fault.

So she was not very scared at the moment. On the contrary, Princess Jiayin was nervous and said nothing after Shen Leyan came over.

"Bold Li Jiayin, don't you even know how to greet the Empress?"

"What? Are you too scared to speak now?"

Ye Jinyu put her hands on her hips and said proudly, "If you have the guts, you can be as arrogant as you were just now!"

Princess Jiayin could no longer endure it, "Ye Jinyu, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!"

She wished she could go up and tear Ye Jinyu's smug mouth apart!

Why is she so scared that she dares not speak?

When has Li Jiayin ever been afraid?

Ever since the eldest princess was captured, she had already thought about her own ending.

But she didn't expect that when this day really came, she would still be at a loss.

Especially when facing Shen Leyan, he didn't know what to do.

She felt a little embarrassed when she thought about the relationship between them in the past.

"Hey, who are you now? Why do you want me to shut up?"

Ye Jinyu wanted to ridicule her again to vent her anger, but was stopped by Shen Leyan.

Shen Leyan glanced at Ye Jinyu with a hint of warning in her eyes.

"Well, I didn't come here today to see you quarreling."

As she spoke, she slowly walked towards Princess Jiayin, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Princess Jiayin didn't dare to look directly into Shen Leyan's eyes at this moment. She turned her head away and said, "I have nothing to say..."

"If you want to kill or behead me, I'll leave it to you."

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

"Your mother took all the blame on herself and she begged the Queen Mother to forgive you."

Upon hearing this, Princess Jiayin's expression relaxed for a moment.

Didn’t she want to strangle her to death before? Why is she saving her now?

Her feelings towards the eldest princess were extremely complicated at the moment, and she didn't know what was true...

Shen Leyan sighed softly, "You have nothing to say, but I want to know why you did this to Sister Yueyin?"

"Have we ever done anything wrong to you?"

"From the time you intentionally approached us to the time you distanced yourself from us, have we ever had any complaints against you?"

"Yeah, you don't have any complaints against me, that's because I'm not important to you at all!"

"I am just a dispensable person..."

Shen Leyan frowned, "Why do you think so? We have always regarded you as a friend."

Princess Jiayin gave a wry smile, "You consider me your friend? Then why do you two always have such a tacit understanding in everything you do?"

"And I always feel like an outsider. Every time I see you two smiling at each other, I feel uncomfortable." Princess Jiayin raised her head, her eyes full of jealousy.

Shen Leyan was shocked. It turned out that she had so many grievances and dissatisfactions hidden in her heart.

"But this is absolutely not a reason for you to hurt Sister Yueyin."

"And the tacit understanding you mentioned takes time to develop. I've known Sister Yueyin for a long time, so naturally we have a better tacit understanding."

"Then why do I have to come to you every time? Can't you come to me on your own initiative?"

Shen Leyan said helplessly: "It's not that we don't want to come to you, but the rules of the Princess's Mansion are very strict, and there are many inconveniences..."

"Besides, when we asked you out, didn't you always make excuses to refuse?"

"I……"

Ye Jinyu couldn't help but interrupt, "You have a bad temper, and you blame others for not being friends with you!"

"Shut up! You have no right to interrupt." Princess Jiayin roared in anger.

"Why do you want me to shut up?"

"Is it unfair to say that you have a bad temper? I am clearly speaking the truth."

"Besides, the Queen hasn't said anything yet, what are you yelling about?"

"Okay, stop talking!"

After hearing what Shen Leyan said, Ye Jinyu shut up obediently.

Shen Leyan stroked her brows and looked at Princess Jiayin who was breaking down. She knew that there was nothing more to say between them.

Things have already happened, and they can no longer be friends...

"Forget it. I don't want to talk about the past anymore. For the sake of our past friendship, I will send you to Lingquan Temple to repent for a few years."

“Although it’s cold there, it’s a good place to cultivate one’s character.”

"The Queen Mother has the same idea. If you truly repent in the future, you can be taken back to the capital." Shen Leyan said calmly.

Shen Leyan turned around and was about to leave, but then stopped. "Li Jiayin, although we are no longer friends in the future, I hope we can have the chance to meet again..."

Princess Jiayin was stunned. She didn't expect Shen Leyan to say such words to her.

Does she mean that as long as she can sincerely repent, she will forgive her?

But she did such a cruel thing to them...

Princess Jiayin felt mixed emotions at this moment.

She opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she just lowered her head silently.

She was wrong...

After Shen Leyan and Ye Jinyu left, Princess Jiayin collapsed on the ground.

When she thought of the past, she couldn't help but feel extremely regretful.

If I hadn't been jealous and hadn't done those wrong things, I wouldn't be in this situation now.

They were still friends who could talk about anything, and they could sit together, drink tea, admire flowers, and discuss gossip in Beijing...

Shen Leyan returned to the palace and sat in the courtyard, staring at the bright moon in a daze.

Zhiyue asked softly, "My Lady, do you really believe she will repent?"

"Yes, it was her fault that the young master lost his memory and caused the young master and the first lady to suffer so much." Caiyue said indignantly.

Shen Leyan sighed slightly: "I hope she can, after all, we were once good friends."

"I have given her a chance. If she still refuses to change her ways, then she will have let down the Queen Mother and me."

Zhiyue and Caiyue looked at each other and nodded silently.

The Queen Mother was kind and only said that she wanted to teach her a lesson, not to do anything to her.
