She sniffed and continued: "My father wanted me to join the powerful, but His Majesty refused to choose a concubine and establish a queen, so my father set his sights on King Jing.
And because I was often bullied by the noble ladies in the capital and wanted to be a master, I tried my best to marry King Jing.
When Han Qianyu said she could control King Jing, I had an idea. I could get rid of Han Qianyu and make King Jing look at me differently.
Therefore, I had other motives for informing King Jing at that time, and I also spread the news that King Jing wanted to marry me as his concubine.
On the day when you held a banquet, Princess, King Jing exposed my plan. In order to protect myself, I jumped into the lake and plotted against King Jing. This is how I got the imperial edict to grant marriage.
It’s just that I didn’t expect that King Jing would do something to His Majesty just to refuse the marriage. I was the one who caused King Jing to suffer, and I am willing to bear all the responsibilities.”
Mu Yun'an frowned and said, "Why do you have to confess everything? Do you know that once you confess, you will face various consequences?"
Li Yueling smiled bitterly and said: "It doesn't matter what the outcome is, I just want to be myself for once.
The princess treated me with such sincerity, but I deceived you. I feel really sorry.
After going through many things, I finally understand that I should have a clear conscience. Even if I get what I want in the end, I will not be happy.
I don’t want to live for anyone anymore, I just want to be a real Li Yueling for myself.”
Mu Yun'an sighed, she helped Li Yueling up and said: "I can understand your difficulties, as a noble girl from a high family, she is actually a pawn for the family to win glory.
Like you, many people live for the family, not for themselves. It's good that you can figure it out, but what you did has caused serious consequences, and the court cannot just let you go."
Li Yueling smiled in relief and said: "I can accept any guilt."
Mu Yun'an asked her: "Even if it affects the family?"
Li Yueling's face was slightly startled, and she said: "Everything is my own idea. Please be kind to the princess and spare the Li family. I am willing to bear it alone."
Mu Yun'an said: "I can't make the decision myself on this matter. Your Majesty needs to make a decision. However, although you have impure intentions, you have still made meritorious service to the court. I believe that Your Majesty will give you a lighter sentence."
Li Yueling nodded and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Mu Yun'an asked again: "Does your confession have something to do with Su Limo?"
Li Yueling was stunned for a moment: "Why did the princess say that?"
Mu Yun'an pointed to the rabbit outside the window and said, "Is this given to you by Su Limo?"
Li Yueling looked at the rabbit, her eyes a little blurry, and she said: "Although Mr. Su and I knew each other before, we never exchanged a few words.
I was actually very surprised when I saw him last night. He said he wanted to fulfill his sister's wish and ruined my innocence, so he kidnapped me, but he didn't do anything to me.
He originally brought this rabbit for food. When I saw that the rabbit seemed to have a baby, I begged him not to kill it, so he gave it to me.
We talked a lot in Yizhuang last night, but I didn't expect that he would bite me back in the end, but I can understand.
Everyone wants to live, especially him. He suffered all the injustices in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he just wants to live."
She raised her head and looked at Mu Yunan and said, "If I admit that I have an affair with him, will he not be questioned?"
Mu Yun'an was stunned for a moment: "You want to save him?"
Li Yueling nodded: "I can see that he is not a bad person. He probably didn't kill Amelia Su, he just didn't save her."
