Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Jia Ling's Double Rebirth, Creates a Great Success

Yongqi shook his head angrily and shouted in anger:

"No one is plotting against me, and no one is plotting against you. I saw it all. Empress Xian, do you know that you are the emperor's concubine? How could you have a secret relationship with a eunuch?"

Ling Yunche lowered his head and sneered. He wanted to see how Concubine Xian would explain to her son.

Ruyi's blood boiled, and seeing Ling Yunche lower his head, she thought Yongqi's words hurt Ling Yunche's heart, so she refuted Yongqi,

"Yongji, why are you so dirty? Ling Yunche just picked a branch of plum blossoms for me. We are innocent."

Yongqi silently glanced at the flower in Concubine Xian's hand: What a... what a big plum blossom!

Yongji was shaking with anger. He once again witnessed Empress Xian's method of confusing right and wrong. The Fifth Prince stood behind Yongji, silently giving him strength.

Yongqi asked back, "Don't you have maids in Empress Xian's palace? Since when did you have to use the eunuchs serving in the imperial garden to pick plum blossoms? My son also heard you say that you and Xiao Lingzi support each other. So, is Ling Yunche going to be a concubine too?"

Ruyi's eyes were filled with disappointment and heartache. She didn't expect that the son she had given birth to with great difficulty would question her, which left her speechless.

Ruyi pointed at Yongji, her fingertips trembling, "Yongji, you are so disobedient to me, who taught you to do that? Was it the Fifth Prince, or that Lu Muping? She was the one who taught you to be bad!"

When Yongqi heard his mother's name, his face turned pale. Facing Empress Xian's accusations, he held his chest high and spoke even louder.

"Don't you dare say that about my mother. My mother is the best mother in the world!!!"

Ruyi aggrievedly questioned Yongqi, her own son, "Are you just protecting Lu Muping like this?"

Yongqi's face was firm, and he took a step forward, "Yes, I am protecting my mother, and I will protect her forever."

Ruyi's chest rose and fell violently. "If I had known you were so heartless, I should not have given birth to you."

Yongji didn't know that it was originally the fault of Empress Xian and the eunuch who had secretly communicated with each other, but in the end, Empress Xian was the one questioning him for having no conscience.

However, he could not care less about so many things. He had to stop Empress Xian and this eunuch today. Otherwise, if the news got to the Mongolian princes, what would they think of Jing Si?

Yongqi looked back at his fifth brother, and after receiving his fifth brother's tacit approval, he instructed Xiao Lizi and the small table behind him,

"Come here, send Xiao Lingzi to the Ministry of Punishment and punish him for violating palace rules and disrespecting concubines."

Ruyi protected Ling Yunche like an old hen.

"Yongji, how did you become so violent? The Ministry of Punishment is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. If you send Ling Yunche in, aren't you going to kill him?"

Yongqi was so angry that he couldn't stop shaking. He could only look at his fifth brother for help.

The Fifth Prince watched for a long time. He knew that in Yongqi's heart, Empress Xian was a nightmare and a pain that Yongqi would never be able to get out of.

He held Yongqi's hand tightly and stood in front of Yongqi.

"Empress Xian, if you don't want to send Ling Yunche to the Ministry of Punishment, why don't you report to the Emperor and have him strangled to death?"

Ling Yunche felt afraid at this moment. If the twelfth prince was just a child and not to be feared, Prince Rong was a prince who had been on the battlefield. Killing him, a eunuch, was more than enough for him.

Ruyi looked at Yongqi's cold eyes with hatred, and felt uncomfortable all over. She always felt that everything should not be like this.

She coldly accused Yongqi, "Why did Prince Rong get involved in the matter between us mother and son? Yongqi has a misunderstanding between me and Ling Yunche. This is our family affair. How can you just strangle a palace maid?"

After that, a cold and majestic voice sounded from behind the crowd.

"Family affairs? I don't know when Ling Yunche became a member of my royal family!"

With just one sentence, Ling Yunche collapsed to his knees.

The Fifth Prince and Yongqi hurriedly bowed. They did not expect that the Emperor had heard everything.

Yongji was afraid that Empress Xian might lose her life today because of him.

The Fifth Prince hugged Yongji and said, "Twelve, don't be afraid."

Behind the emperor was the equally angry empress dowager. Everything Ruyi had just said went into their ears.

Today, the Emperor respectfully invited the Empress Dowager to Ruyi Pavilion to look at the family portrait of the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the princes and grandchildren painted by Lang Shining, which showed four generations living under the same roof. Unexpectedly, the even more exciting scene was the scene in the Imperial Garden.

The Empress Dowager looked at Yongji, who was shivering beside her, with pity, and saw that the Emperor had no intention of comforting his two grandchildren.

She could only reach out and call Yongqi over, touch Yongqi's head, and persuade him:

"Good boy, go back with your fifth brother and rest. The Royal Mama is here to take care of everything. This has nothing to do with you. What you just said and did was very good. No matter what happens, don't feel guilty, understand?"

Yongqi nodded, knelt down and saluted the emperor again.

"Father, I was too impulsive just now and made a lot of noise in the Imperial Garden, disturbing you and Madam. I am guilty."

The emperor's expression was still tense. He maintained the last bit of rationality and ordered Yongji,

"It's okay. The Emperor knows that you are a good and sensible child. Follow your fifth brother back to Chengqian Palace. Your mother is waiting for you."

The emperor deliberately emphasized the word "mother" to tell Yongqi that he would not vent his anger on him because of Ruyi.

Ruyi stiffened her neck, she thought she was doing nothing wrong, she must have fallen into Wei Yanwan's trap again, Wei Yanwan deliberately called Yongqi, lured the emperor and the empress dowager to frame her.

But she suddenly saw that Yongqi looked back every three steps, and his eyes were full of disappointment and sadness, so miserable that Ruyi suddenly began to panic.

She had a premonition that she was about to lose Yongqi forever.

After the two children walked away, the emperor gave the order, "Bring Concubine Xian and Xiao Lingzi to the Qianqing Palace for interrogation."

Qianqing Palace

Xiao Lingzi crawled on the ground, his hunched body curled up into a ball. He didn't expect that he just wanted to play a trick on Concubine Xian, but he got himself into trouble.

Obviously, no one would notice when doing this kind of thing before, so why are the masters coming one after another today?

Xiao Lingzi had a premonition that he would not be able to leave the palace alive today.

Ruyi knelt on the ground, looking at the emperor in disappointment. Ever since the emperor punished her to the Ministry of Punishment, she had not seen the emperor for two years and three months.

Now when they saw each other again, it was this scene, and she felt that she had been wronged.

The emperor on the throne glanced at the adulterer and the adulteress kneeling on the ground. Ling Yunche's cowardly appearance was really an insult to his eyes, with his dark yellow face, lustful eyes, deep wrinkles, and lame leg.

The emperor roared, "Ruyi, you are really hungry. You can eat anything!"

Ruyi was still immersed in Yongqi's disappointed look before he left. She retorted:

"Your Majesty, this is totally untrue. How did Yongqi get involved?"

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes when she heard this. In her opinion, Ruyi and Ling Yunche were the same, both were not picky eaters.

But today, the Queen Mother doesn't plan to care too much. She just wants to watch and make sure Yongji and Jingsi are not implicated. And Rong Pei is from the Cining Palace, so she has to protect her.

The emperor glanced at the empress dowager who was resting with her eyes closed, and spoke slowly.

"Lady Xian, as a concubine, you have been too close to the eunuchs, disturbing the harem and damaging my reputation. Do you have anything else to say?"

Ruyi held her head high, and her voice was even louder than the emperor's, as if the louder her voice, the stronger her momentum would be.

"Your Majesty has always suspected me and Ling Yunche, and has been constantly humiliating me and him, but he turned around and said that I had ruined your reputation. Ling Yunche and I are like brothers, and we have never had any private affairs. I am almost tired of saying the word innocent!"

The emperor sneered and pointed out Ruyi's mistakes mercilessly.

"You are tired of talking about innocence. Am I not tired of watching you act? Put away your aggrieved and disgusting look. Ling Yunche is your brother. Does he shake the mushroom with you?"

Ruyi was about to retort, but she heard a loud voice outside the palace.

"I want to report that Lady Xian and Xiao Lingzi are having an affair!"
