"Father, I don't believe it!"
At this time, Jing Zhao took a deep breath and suddenly stood up and said, looking at Xiao Shuangbao's red eyes, his heart ached, "What past life? This is just a lie made up by Su Ruyi to escape the blame!
"Shuangbao is pure, kind, and innocent. Father knows her character better than I do. How could she be the person Su Ruyi described?
"I also ask Your Majesty not to listen to the rumors fabricated by Su Ruyi!
"Please judge wisely, Father!"
After Jing Zhao said this, Su Ruyi suddenly looked confused.
"Brother, eldest prince, have you lost your mind? In her previous life, she killed your mother and prevented you from being appointed as the crown prince! You are here to defend her now, but aren't you afraid that when she grows up, she will stab you in the back and harm you again?"
Su Ruyi asked in disbelief.
"All I know is that you're talking nonsense!"
Jing Zhao looked at her coldly, "You said Shuang Bao killed my mother? But, every time my mother was in danger, was she not saved by Shuang Bao?
"My mother was possessed by an evil spirit, and Shuangbao captured the evil spirit.
"My mother was suffering from a serious illness, and the imperial doctors were helpless. Shuangbao gave her a magical medicine, which immediately cured her illness.
"My mother fell out of favor and even lost the Phoenix Seal. She was even impeached by the ministers and was almost deposed, but Shuangbao got it back for her.
"Ever since Shuangbao came into being, Mother's life has obviously been getting better and better. But tell me, when did Shuangbao kill Mother?
"How can she harm me?
"All of this is clearly fabricated by you for your own sake. You are throwing dirty water on Shuang Bao, intending to create a rift between me, my father, and my mother!"
It has to be said that each of the things Jing Zhao listed are facts that have already happened and are very convincing.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think, yes, that's true.
Who doesn't know that the Queen has been out of favor for many years, and the power in the harem has always been controlled by Concubine Wang?
It was not until Xiao Shuangbao entered the palace that the queen recovered and the phoenix seal was returned. Now she is the queen respected by everyone again.
From this perspective, not only did Xiao Shuangbao not kill the queen, but he was actually the queen's lucky star.
After a confrontation between Su Ruyi and Jing Zhao, Su Ruyi became confused in her heart because of what he said.
Yes, it was something that should have happened in the previous life, why didn’t it happen in this life?
"No! No!"
But she quickly shook her head and said unwillingly, "That's because she's still a child now! When she grows up, she will definitely be as cruel and ruthless as I said and do all kinds of evil!"
“That must be it!
“In her previous life, she entered the palace at the age of fifteen!
“But in this life, she entered the palace twelve years earlier!
"But the future won't change! Father, please believe me! Everything I say is true!
"I say this all for Father!
"I've been targeting Shuang Bao, not out of personal gain, but to protect my father. I don't want him to be killed by her!"
Su Ruyi cried again, saying that everything was out of her filial piety.
But Emperor Chengxuan always had a gloomy expression, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, Ruyi seems to have a sincere and filial heart."
Concubine Luo, who had previously suggested that Emperor Chengxuan kill Su Ruyi, suddenly said, "I do feel that what she said about her past life may not be groundless.
"This is a matter of great importance to the safety of the Emperor and the well-being of the Eastern Qi State, and it cannot be underestimated.
"It would be better to keep Su Ruyi in the palace for a while and ask her about her past life.
"If she really lied and deceived the emperor, then punish her."
Her words were full of inflammatory meaning.
If Emperor Chengxuan agreed, it would mean that he believed Su Ruyi's words.
If this happens, little Shuangbao will be in danger!
Jing Lan and Jing Zhao were both worried.
But Jingzhao had already said everything he could say.
However, Jing Lan felt that Xiao Shuangbao had concealed his identity before, so if he spoke up now, he would be suspected of covering up for Shuangbao.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
On the side, Zhongli Yu suddenly said.
Emperor Cheng Xuan looked at him, and finally said, "What do you want to say?"
"Your Majesty, I believe that what Su Ruyi said is nonsense. She cannot possibly be a reborn person."
Zhongli Yu said in a calm yet serious tone, "If she is a reincarnated being and can predict the future, then according to what she said, Shuang Bao even poisoned the emperor in her previous life, seized the throne, and became the most powerful empress in the Dongqi Kingdom.
"Then the first thing Su Ruyi should do after her rebirth is to report this matter to the Emperor.
"Or she could just kill Shuang Bao directly to eliminate this extremely dangerous existence for the emperor.
“But she didn’t do that.
"She never mentioned that she was reborn, or that Shuang Bao had killed the Emperor in her previous life. She even didn't try to report to the Emperor through the then-Noble Concubine Su when she heard about the Emperor's dangerous encounter with the Northern Rong.
"In the six months since Shuangbao entered the palace, many things have happened in Dongqi.
"But Su Ruyi has never predicted anything bad happening. How could she be a reborn person?
“Therefore, I believe that Su Ruyi’s words are simply fabricated. On the one hand, her purpose is to continue to stay in the palace, and on the other hand, to trick the emperor into falling into a trap and alienate Shuang Bao from then on.
"Your Majesty, Su Ruyi's talk about the future is completely unfounded. However, it is an indisputable fact that the God of War Su Liao died in battle to protect Your Majesty and the Kingdom of Dongqi. It is also true that Shuang Bao brought benefits to Your Majesty, the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, and others after entering the palace.
"Your Majesty is wise and will certainly not believe Su Ruyi's crazy talk."
It has to be said that Zhongli Yu's words once again directly dispelled everyone's doubts.
"That's right. If the Thirteenth Princess was truly reborn, she should have the ability to foresee the future and would have already sought benefits for herself. But she hasn't done anything!"
"Even if she could truly foresee the future, she should have known that the Emperor would be ambushed and seriously injured during the battle against the Northern Rong. Yet, she didn't try to warn him in advance, and instead watched him fall into danger. What does this prove? It proves that she harbored rebellious intentions towards the Emperor!"
"This Thirteenth Princess is so despicable! She made up such a lie to deceive us and really played us like fools!"
Everyone was talking about it, and they refused to believe a single word Su Ruyi said.
Su Ruyi really couldn't understand.
Why was it that no one listened to her when she told lies in the past, and now that she tells the truth, still no one listens?
