128 Someone Deliberately Framed Me Today

Imperial Physician Cui opened the porcelain bottle and smelled it.

A sweet scent instantly entered his nose, causing his expression to change. He hurriedly closed the porcelain bottle again.

“Eldest Princess, the powder in this porcelain bottle is Liu Xiang!”

Yu Linlang wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but she thought of something and glanced at Huo Zhao faintly, still not saying anything.

The Eldest Princess’s sharp gaze seemed to see through Yu Linlang’s soul. “What do you have to say?”

Yu Linlang bit her lower lip and said, “Someone deliberately framed me today.”

“Then tell me what happened to you today?” The Eldest Princess snorted and asked.

Yu Linlang glanced at Shen Yaowei and said softly, “After Yaoyao and I went to the lake, I suddenly felt unwell. Yaoyao brought me to the room to rest. Then, I drank a cup of tea from Yaoyao and fainted.”

“But your mother clearly said that your maidservant said that Yaoyao wasn’t feeling well,” the Eldest Princess said coldly.

Yu Linlang shook her head gently and tried her best to maintain her composure. “It’s probably because my maidservant is anxious, so she said something wrong.”

Seeing Yu Linlang’s calm and composed appearance, the Eldest Princess knew that today’s matter wouldn’t end anytime soon. A cold smile suddenly appeared on her lips. “Even if you were framed, do you think you’re worthy of Prince Zhao with your ident.i.ty and status? You’re definitely not innocent of what happened today. Men, give Yu Linlang and her mother a hundred strokes each.”

When Yu Linlang heard this, she looked at the Eldest Princess in disbelief. “Eldest Princess, please be happy or angry. My mother’s body is weak, so she definitely won’t be able to withstand these 100 strokes.”

“Your mother didn’t teach her well. If you plead for your mother again, I’ll give you another hundred strokes,” the Eldest Princess said indifferently, looking at Yu Linlang with disgust.

Even if the matter today wasn’t completely clarified, it definitely had something to do with this woman.

“Your Highness…” Yu Linlang couldn’t take it anymore and looked at Huo Zhao with tears in her eyes. “Linlang knows that she did something wrong and will definitely be punished. However, Linlang’s mother really can’t take the 100 strokes.”

Seeing Yu Linlang’s pitiful appearance, Huo Zhao’s heart seemed to have been provoked by something, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable. Then, he couldn’t help but walk forward and say to the Eldest Princess, “Aunt, I can explain what happened today. Linlang is innocent. Please listen to what I have to say before making a decision.”

Seeing Huo Zhao like this, Shen Yaowei’s dark eyes lit up.

According to her understanding of Huo Zhao, this man was extremely cold-blooded and selfish. The person he loved the most was himself.

In his previous life, Huo Zhao cared about Yu Linlang, but things had always been smooth-sailing between him and Yu Linlang. In the end, they had never really experienced any major difficulties.

Now that they were in trouble, Huo Zhao wasn’t really showing his true feelings by coming to protect Yu Linlang.

It was completely because of the drug.

She couldn’t help but secretly count the minutes with her fingers. Shen Yaowei suddenly realized that the drug she had planted could also be completely mature.

Hence, she lowered her head to cover her upturned lips.

Things were getting more and more interesting!

“Aunt, everything that happened today is my fault,” Huo Zhao said slowly. “I forced Linlang to drug Yaoyao. Liu Xiang was also given to Yu Linlang by me. Everything is my fault. Aunt, please let Linlang off!”
