Jun Zechen just felt that he was being plotted against, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some slight noises coming from outside the palace.

Jun Zechen's expression instantly became alert. He didn't even have time to think carefully, and his figure flashed and quickly entered another door.

If Yaoyao knew that he came to the cold palace to see Ling Yue, would she suspect that he still had feelings for Ling Yue?

Jun Zechen turned the ring on his hand in a panic.

Miaoyun pushed open the slightly dilapidated door of the cold palace, and Su Jingyao slowly stepped down from the phoenix chariot.

Afterwards, they entered the hall. At this time, Ling Yue was already sitting quietly beside the table. Her face was unusually calm, like a pool of stagnant water without any ripples.

Seeing Su Jingyao coming in, he didn't even stand up, but just raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said lightly: "You're here."

Miaoyun saw Ling Yue being so disrespectful to her master, and her eyebrows immediately raised. She immediately scolded him in a stern voice: "How dare you! You didn't even greet the queen when you saw her!"

Su Jingyao raised her hand slightly. Seeing this, Miaoyun had to take a step back unwillingly without saying anything more.

Ling Yue sneered, and his laughter seemed full of sarcasm.

"Queen, are you very proud?"

Su Jingyao frowned slightly and asked calmly, "What am I so proud of?"

"You are now the queen, you have a legitimate son, and you are favored by His Majesty. But you have framed me and sent me to the cold palace. Aren't you proud enough?" Ling Yue said with a hint of grief and indignation in her voice.

"Framed? Ling Yue, am I not good enough to you? When I was in the East Palace, I gave in everywhere, and even risked my life to save you when I was pregnant with the eldest prince."

As Su Jingyao spoke, a look of pain appeared on her face, and her eyes were flashing with complex light.

"After your majesty ascended the throne, I knew that your majesty only wanted you to be the queen. In order to help you, I miscarried the royal heir in my belly."

"Even so, Your Majesty has given you the third prince to raise, and I have never had any complaints, but what about you?"

Su Jingyao's voice gradually became louder, with uncontrollable excitement.

"I can tolerate whatever you do to me, but the eldest prince is still so young, and you have the heart to hurt him. Do you still have a heart?!"

Su Jingyao looked at Ling Yue with eyes full of disappointment and confusion. Her body was trembling slightly, as if she was trying hard to suppress the grief in her heart.

"You know better than anyone whether you were really helping me or you were giving in to me just to gain His Majesty's pity. Today, there are only you and me here. Why do you have to keep pretending?"

Ling Yue clenched her teeth tightly, her eyes full of resentment, and spoke word by word.

Su Jingyao took a deep breath, her eyes became unusually sharp, staring straight at Ling Yue.

"So this is how you've always thought of me. Is that why you hate me? But why do you have to make excuses for yourself? You hate me because of His Majesty."

"But you said those high-sounding words just to make yourself feel at ease?" Su Jingyao asked.

"No, it's you who is cautious in every step and makes careful arrangements, making everyone your stepping stone." Ling Yue's face turned gloomy.

"You don't want to admit what happened in the past, so that's fine. But the so-called evidence you found yesterday, can you swear on the Crown Prince that you didn't fabricate it?"

Ling Yue's eyes were wide open as he stared at Su Jingyao, trying to find any flaws on her face.

Ling Yue didn't expect the queen to be so tight-lipped. No matter how she tried to get Su Jingyao to speak her mind, she never said anything.

When Su Jingyao heard Ling Yue asking her to swear by the eldest prince, she suddenly became speechless.

"Ling Yue, when I first entered the East Palace, you took care of me, so I have never hated you, because I can understand your love for His Majesty and the various emotions you have after losing His Majesty, but this does not mean that you can hurt me unscrupulously."

There was a hint of majesty in Su Jingyao's voice.

"You said that I framed you. Then I want to ask you, the poison found in the eldest prince's nurse's food would have no effect on an adult like the nurse, but for a child like the eldest prince, it is a deadly poison."

"The poison in the Third Prince was the same as the poison in the First Prince's wet nurse, but the Third Prince was cured before the Imperial Physician arrived. Why?"

Su Jingyao's eyes were full of questions and her speech speed gradually increased.

"Isn't it because you already have the antidote for this poison?"

Ling Yue's expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

"So you already knew that I hurt the eldest prince, so you took revenge on the third prince!"

Ling Yue seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, seized the loophole in her words, and spoke immediately.

At this moment, her face was flushed and her eyes were full of anxiety.

She no longer cared whether to admit that she had poisoned the eldest prince. Today she had to make the queen admit to the fact that she had murdered the third prince, otherwise she would be really finished.

"Ling Yue, you still don't admit it? It is a fact that you harmed the eldest prince. The third prince was poisoned and hurt with willow catkins. It was also people in your palace who personally admitted that you did it. And the purpose of your doing this is to frame me."

Su Jingyao's face turned pale with anger and her voice became louder.

"You have the antidote, so the Third Prince will be safe. You are just using His Majesty's attention and love for the heir to deal with me."

Su Jingyao said harshly, her eyes full of anger and disappointment.

"No, no, no!"
