Jun Zechen frowned after hearing this. He had clearly instructed Imperial Physician Li to let her have a good rest, and the affairs of the six palaces would naturally be handled by the female officials.

But he didn't think any more about it at this moment. He hadn't seen her for more than a month, and Jun Zechen only wanted to see her as soon as possible, so he strode towards the study.

Now it is the hottest weather, and the ice basin placed in the study emits a slight coolness. Zhaochun Palace is not short of such a thing to relieve the heat.

Su Jingyao was wearing a snow-white gauze dress, and the thin gauze skirt seemed to be surrounded by a hazy fairy air.

Her shiny black hair spread out like a waterfall, loosely held in place by only an exquisite hairpin.

A few strands of hair fell playfully beside her fair cheeks.

Her expression was as cold as snow, like a beautiful and inviolable ice sculpture. She sat upright at the desk, holding a pen in one white and slender hand, moving it gently on the paper.

It is as if a fairy from the nine heavens has quietly descended to the earth, so beautiful that it takes one's breath away.

When Jun Zechen stepped in, he saw her like this at a glance, and his heart trembled again and again.

He was really attracted to her all the time.

Su Jingyao sensed the movement, and slowly raised her eyes, as cold as autumn water, and looked at him.

Her face was still as calm as a lake, without any major emotional fluctuations.

He stood up, walked to the side of the table, and gave Jun Zechen a standard salute.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Jun Zechen hurriedly took two steps forward and helped her up, feeling helpless.

She and he became estranged...

"Yaoyao, please don't be angry with me, okay?" Jun Zechen's voice contained a hint of pleading.

"I am not angry. I am just an insignificant woman in your majesty's harem. Your majesty does not need to explain to me no matter what he does, and I will not make trouble unreasonably."

Su Jingyao looked at Jun Zechen firmly, and her eyes showed that she really didn't care about his concealment, and even accepted it calmly.

Without expectations, there will naturally be no disappointment. She just needs to do her part well.

Jun Zechen didn't want to see her cold face at all at this moment. He just wanted to see the little girl who used to act coquettishly towards her.

He suddenly grabbed her waist and held her tightly in his arms.

"Yaoyao, in my heart, you are the most important. I may have thought about dealing with the Su family before, but because of Yaoyao, I hesitated and overturned all my previous decisions."

"I asked Yaoyao to use contraception for the sake of your health." His voice was low and urgent.

"I favor Concubine Ye... to deal with the Ye family."

Jun Zechen only wanted to completely reveal his inner thoughts to her at this moment. He did not like the calculations between the women in the harem, but weren't his own calculations despicable as well?

He ascended the throne step by step, treading on blood.

He had his own ambitions, and he would use all sorts of means to achieve them. Mountains of corpses and seas of blood could not outweigh the praises in history books for him being the greatest emperor of all time.

Yaoyao is the only clear corner in his heart, and he puts his softest heart on her.

To others, he is a heartless emperor, but in front of Yaoyao, he wants to be a caring husband.

"Your Majesty always has so many reasons..."

Su Jingyao was held in his arms obediently, her voice coming from a distance, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"Will I also be your Majesty's pawn in the future?"

Su Jingyao raised her head and looked straight at Jun Zechen. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

When Jun Zechen heard this question, his body stiffened.

He didn't want to tell Yaoyao about his plans because he was afraid that Yaoyao would suspect him.

"No, Yaoyao can't." Jun Zechen replied quickly.

"Even if I become unscrupulous, sinister and vicious in the future, Your Majesty will not change either?"

Su Jingyao asked softly, with a hint of self-mockery in her voice.

Jun Zechen didn't say anything, his brows slightly furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

Why would Yaoyao ask such a question? Is she still unscrupulous, sinister and vicious?

"No matter what my Yaoyao looks like, I will like her and I will never change."

Jun Zechen picked her up, walked to the table and sat down, then took a deep breath into her neck. He really missed her.

The strength with which he held her made Su Jingyao feel a little suffocated.

But Jun Zechen seemed to want to express his inner longing in this way.

"Yaoyao hasn't seen me for more than a month. I miss you very much. Even though I'm not by your side, you still control me."

In order to see her sooner, he sped up his efforts to deal with the Ye family, even though it was more risky.

Su Jingyao leaned in his arms, listening to him express his love and longing for her, but her heart was not moved at all.

Suddenly, Jun Zechen glanced at a few lines of words on the rice paper on the table. Was it Yaoyao who just wrote it?

He held it out in front of him. It read:

Love is voluntary, there is no regret after it is over, do not talk about debts, and live up to the encounter.

Jun Zechen suddenly remembered what she once said: I am lucky to meet you, even if it is sad, it is still love.

Why did she write this?

Is she going to break up her love for him?

This thought made his heart sink into an ice cellar, and his hands unconsciously clenched the rice paper and crumpled it into a ball.

Jun Zechen looked at her, his eyes filled with shock and anger. His voice was low and powerful, "I won't allow it!"
