Su Ling's Time Travel

"Lianxin, what brings you here?" Bai Yanxuan tried to calm herself down and not let her panic show.

Situ Lianxin walked up to Bai Yanxuan and looked at him with a firm gaze: "Your Highness, if I hadn't come, wouldn't I have just watched you being played with by a woman?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yanxuan's face darkened: "Lianxin, what makes you say that? Su Ling, she..."

However, Situ Lianxin did not give him a chance to explain. She turned around, looked at Su Ling, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. Then, she slowly said, "Su Ling, you don't need to be afraid. With me here, I will never let the Prince harm you in the slightest."

Su Ling looked at Situ Lianxin, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected Situ Lianxin to appear at this moment to seek justice for her. She secretly rejoiced, feeling that her plan had gained even more chances of success.

"Sister Lianxin, thank you," Su Ling said softly, her voice full of sincerity.

Situ Lianxin smiled slightly, then turned to Bai Yanxuan: "Your Highness, do you know why Su Ling did this? She just wanted your attention and care. Yet you treated her so roughly, isn't that too heartless?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yanxuan felt a surge of panic. He looked at Su Ling, his eyes flashing with complex emotions—anger, disappointment, and a barely perceptible hint of guilt. He knew that Situ Lianxin's words weren't entirely unreasonable. He had indeed ignored Su Ling's feelings and had indeed been too harsh on her.

However, as a prince, how could he easily bow down to a woman? He tried to calm himself and looked at Situ Lianxin: "Lianxin, you may not know the truth. Su Ling, she..."

However, Situ Lianxin did not give him a chance to explain further. She looked coldly at Bai Yanxuan: "Your Highness, you don't need to say anything more. I have my own judgment on the truth of the matter. I only know that your treatment of Su Ling is really too much."

After saying that, she turned around and looked at Su Ling: "Su Ling, don't worry. With me here, I will never let you suffer any more grievances."

Looking into Situ Lianxin's determined eyes, Su Ling felt a surge of emotion. She knew her plan was already more than halfway to success. With Situ Lianxin's help, she was certain she would emerge victorious in this palace intrigue.

Bai Yanxuan watched all this from the sidelines, his heart filled with shock and fear. He didn't know why Situ Lianxin stood so firmly on Su Ling's side, nor what her true purpose was. However, he knew clearly that he absolutely could not easily bow down to Situ Lianxin. Otherwise, his authority and status would be seriously threatened.

"Lianxin, you..." Bai Yanxuan wanted to say something more, but was coldly interrupted by Situ Lianxin.

“Your Highness, you need not say any more. I only know that your treatment of Su Ling is truly heartbreaking. As a concubine of the Prince’s mansion, I absolutely cannot tolerate such a thing happening.” Situ Lianxin’s voice was cold and firm, as if it were an irresistible force.

Bai Yanxuan looked into Situ Lianxin's resolute eyes and felt a surge of panic. He knew he absolutely could not easily bow down to Situ Lianxin. Otherwise, his authority and status would be severely threatened. However, he also clearly knew he absolutely could not confront Situ Lianxin head-on. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Lianxin, listen to me..." Bai Yanxuan wanted to make one last effort, but was coldly interrupted by Situ Lianxin.

“Your Highness, you need not say any more. I only know that your treatment of Su Ling is far too much. As a concubine of the Prince’s mansion, I have a responsibility to seek justice for Su Ling.” Situ Lianxin’s voice remained cold and firm, as if it were an irresistible force.

Looking at Situ Lianxin's resolute gaze and icy tone, Bai Yanxuan felt a surge of helplessness and fear. He knew he could no longer change anything. Situ Lianxin had gained the upper hand, and he could only passively accept it all.

"Okay...okay...I promise you...I will treat Su Ling well from now on..." Bai Yanxuan could only nod helplessly in the end. He knew that this was the only way to calm things down at the moment.

However, his heart was filled with resentment and anger. He, a prince, was being so coerced by a woman? This was simply intolerable! Yet, he also knew clearly that he absolutely could not easily become enemies with Situ Lianxin. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable…

The moonlight, like water, spilled into the quiet corners of the Prince's mansion. Su Ling and Situ Lianxin walked side by side, their figures appearing exceptionally tall and slender in the moonlight. Since their confrontation in the garden that day, Su Ling knew that Situ Lianxin was a trustworthy person, and thus decided to reveal more of the truth to her.

"Sister Lianxin, do you know why I've fallen into such a predicament?" Su Ling's voice was low and sorrowful, as if filled with endless grievances.

Upon hearing this, Situ Lianxin stopped and turned to look at Su Ling. In the moonlight, Su Ling's eyes glistened with tears, making her appear exceptionally pitiful. A feeling of pity welled up in her heart, and she softly asked, "Su Ling, what grievance have you suffered? Why don't you tell me?"
