So i have a laptop, and it has DDR3 memory type RAM, and i bought the DDR3L, so will the the DDR3 RAM and DDR3L work together, and if yes, is it safe?
Is DDR3L compatible with DDR3?

That's is another question entirely and it is hard to predict when you mix and match stick that may have different Speed, CAS latency, timings,voltage, Brand, etc.
Most of the times a computer will run just fine when mixing different brands, sizes and speeds. Motherboards, automatically, underclock the faster RAM stick to match the other, so you wouldn't run into any issues.
I have encounter times when the motherboard just refuses to work with different brands or speeds.

But the speed are the same 1600 Mhz, the brands are the same, my cpu supports ddr3l and ddr3, so is there a chance that they will work together?

Your laptop will under-voltage 1.5v RAM ( if you have 1.5v) to match the 1.35v sticks. I don't think that laptop has 1.5v RAM.
You might think the RAM is similar because is the same manufacturer and the same speed, but there are many variables.
That's the reason manufacturers sell RAM kits that come in pairs, which are tested to work together to avoid errors.
What you could do is try to see if it works.
It is not going to shorten the life span of the RAM stick but you might get Windows errors that might be hard to trace.
