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

When Rong Pei was brought in, she didn't look around, just held a bundle and knelt down straight.

"I, Rong Pei, would like to report that Lady Xian and my lover Xiao Lingzi are having an affair, and I have come to present the evidence."

Ling Yunche knelt on the ground. He suddenly thought of something and his face instantly turned pale.

Ruyi also looked at Rong Pei with contempt. When the wall fell, everyone pushed it down. Rong Pei, who was used to currying favor with the powerful, actually came to add insult to injury.

She still pursed her lips and refused to lower her head.

The Queen Mother opened her eyes. She guessed that Rong Pei was preparing to cut off the source of the problem.

The emperor stroked his finger ring and asked Rong Pei in a calm tone,

"I did see Concubine Xian and Ling Yunche secretly giving and receiving things in the Imperial Garden. According to what you said, is there another hidden story?"

Rong Pei kowtowed tremblingly. With the Queen Mother in the audience, she was confident in what she said.

"I was deeply grateful for the marriage granted by the Emperor, but after the marriage, I found out that Xiao Lingzi had deceived me. He was not deeply in love with me at all, but was secretly having an affair with Concubine Xian."

Rong Pei opened the bundle in her hand and took out the dark yellow silk quilt. Anyone who saw it would know that it was a work of art used by the royal court.

"Your Majesty, this is Concubine Xian's quilt. I'm sure you've seen it before."

Ruyi's expression was still dull, only her mouth opened and closed, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this quilt was a dowry given by me to Rong Pei, but Rong Pei used it to slander me."

The emperor looked at her with disdain, pointed at her nose and scolded her: "You are so shameless to take a used quilt as a dowry."

Rong Pei's eyes widened, and she took out another thing from her bag, which was a pillow.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, what I want to talk about is not the quilt. Please take a look, Your Majesty. This is the chrysanthemum pillow that Concubine Xian gave to Ling Yunche. It is a set with this quilt. Little Lingzi holds it in his arms every day. If not for this, I would not know that he loves Concubine Xian so deeply."

Li Yu presented the pillow with saliva stains in front of the emperor and the empress dowager with disgust. The stitching of the pillow was indeed the same as that of the quilt.

Ling Yunche's trembling shoulders revealed his panic. Only then did he understand that Rong Pei had been watching the fire from the other side of the river just for today's plan.

Ruyi glanced at Ling Yunche seemingly unintentionally, swallowed her saliva, and her tongue curled when she spoke.

"Your Majesty, the chrysanthemum in this pillow was picked by Qiu Wen and I. We made it into a pillow out of pity for Ling Yun Che and to help him cool down from working hard. I didn't know that Ling Yun Che used it every day."

Ruyi felt that she was not wrong. She had a pure intention in giving the pillow as a gift. It was Ling Yunche who used it every day. It was everyone who thought he was dirty.

Speaking of this pillow, Ling Yunche thought of what Yan Wan said that day in the Imperial Garden, that Concubine Xian was plotting to harm him. Today, it seems to be true.

Ruyi wanted to clear herself, but she accused him of a crime. In this way, the Emperor might not punish Concubine Xian, but he would definitely take his life.

Thinking of this, Ling Yunche shuddered. What had he done to deserve being haunted by this poisonous snake, Concubine Xian?

The emperor at the top sneered and slowly stood up.

"There is an old saying that goes 'offering your bed to someone else'. No matter what your purpose is, it's already been offered. Now that things have come to this, does Concubine Xian still think she is doing nothing wrong?"

Ruyi's face flushed, and she was at a loss as to what to do with the words "offering oneself to the bed". She thought that she and Ling Yunche were just close friends, but the emperor used such a vulgar word to describe her. She was extremely sad and angry.

At this moment, Ruyi's legs felt weak and cold sweat began to appear on her temples. She looked around in panic, hoping that someone could take all the blame.

But Dongmei was not there, and the pillow was not made by Qiuwen, but was delivered by her personally.

She felt like a small boat floating on the ocean, with nowhere to rely on.

Ruyi could only continue to murmur: "It was Qiuwen and I who picked the pillow together. It was Qiuwen..."

Rong Pei seemed to be touched by something, and she shouted with red eyes:

"Lady Xian! Do you want to drag Qiu Wen into this again? Before Qiu Wen picked the chrysanthemum, did you tell her that she was going to be Ling Yunche's pillow? You have harmed the servants in Yikun Palace one after another. Are you done? You have ruined my life. Isn't that enough?"

As Rong Pei spoke, her eyes were filled with inextricable grievance and resentment, which frightened the emperor. He thought that he was the one who arranged the marriage between Rong Pei and Ling Yunche, and the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it, so he spoke:

"Rong Pei has made a meritorious report today. I will not implicate you. I will allow you and Ling Yunche to divorce, and you will be allowed to continue living in the house outside the palace."

Rong Pei kowtowed to express her gratitude, but the sight of her biting her lip and trembling still made the emperor frown. Could there be something else that he didn't know?

Sure enough, Rong Pei did not disappoint the emperor. She took out the last thing from her sleeve.

It is an old and curled-edge insole.

"Your Majesty, I always thought that when Ling Yunche asked for my hand in marriage at Mulan Paddock that day, he really loved me. But after we got married, I realized that I was deceived into marriage."

Ling Yunche felt hot all over. How could Rong Pei even take this thing away? This time he was really finished.

Ruyi's pupils also constricted. These people really did everything they could to harm her. They even found this insole. What a deep plot.

At this moment, she actually felt some resentment towards Yongji. If Yongji hadn't been holding on to her and Ling Yunche, how could the situation have turned out like this, involving so many things.

The emperor smelled the unique sour smell of the insole and turned his head away in disgust. "What is this?"

Rong Pei's tone was filled with grief and indignation, as if she wanted to express all the resentment she had felt over the years.

"When I was serving Concubine Xian in the cold palace, Guard Ling had frequent contact with us and helped Concubine Xian and me sell needlework. This insole was given to Ling Yunche by Concubine Xian at that time."

Rong Pei took out another pair of insoles. That pair looked old, but had never been used.

"Your Majesty, this one that has never been worn was made by this servant back then. Your Majesty can compare it with the old one just presented. The fabric is the same, but the stitching is very different."

The emperor nodded. Rongpei's stitching was firm, while Ruyi's stitching was fine and messy. They were indeed different.

He narrowed his eyes tightly, thinking that he had actually taken Ruyi out of the cold palace and let her live in the Yikun Palace. He was really the biggest fool in the world.

"In other words, Concubine Xian and Ling Yunche had already had an affair when they were in the cold palace? All the things that happened later were to deceive me?"

Under the pretext of exposing an affair, the emperor brought up the old matter again. He accepted that Concubine Xian and Ling Yunche had a secret relationship when they were in the cold palace, and that this was the most important part of the interconnected matter.

Yes, Rong Pei had another purpose today. The timing, location and people were all right. This was the opportunity she and Fuzhi had been waiting for for so long.

Rong Pei's face became more and more determined. No one expected that Rong Pei would not only reveal the incident of the insole from that year, but also involve an unjust case that happened more than ten years ago.
