Cold Palace.

"Ling Yue."

An extremely hoarse voice sounded slowly, as if it was being squeezed out with difficulty from an old bellows.

Ling Yue was lying motionless on the cold and hard bed. The bruises on her knees were like stubborn stains that had not disappeared for a long time.

There would be someone monitoring her every day, forcing her to kneel for two hours.

At this moment, her hair was disheveled like a tangled mess, her face was as pale as white paper, and her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had lost all her luster.

"Who are you?"

Ling Yue raised her eyes with great effort and asked weakly.

She doesn't know this person.

The woman standing beside the bed slowly tore off the human skin mask, revealing a familiar face under the mask.

"Is it you?"

Ling Yue showed a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect you to be reduced to this level."

"Yes, I lost everything because of the Queen!"

The woman's hoarse and almost crazy voice suddenly rang out, like a sharp claw scratching on the wall.

"Do you want me to deal with the Queen? I couldn't deal with her before. Now I'm in the cold palace, what can I do? Even if I get out of the cold palace, the Queen is surrounded by maids, what can I do?"

Although Ling Yue's voice was weak, it was full of helplessness and self-mockery.

Naturally, she hated the queen so much that she wanted to drag the queen down with her even if it meant death. Unfortunately, she could do nothing at the moment and couldn't even leave the cold palace.

"You probably don't know, but the Queen is pregnant with twins for more than six months. Are you willing to watch her live so happily? Don't you want to see the Queen die three times?"

The woman's voice was full of temptation and venom, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue.

When Ling Yue looked at the woman in front of him, a trace of hatred suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"You are alone now. Since you hate the queen so much, why don't you do it yourself?"

"My relationship with Your Majesty has ended. If the Queen dies because of me, my father will definitely not survive."

Even if Ling Yue doesn't care about his own life, it is impossible for him to completely not care about his father's life.

The woman suddenly let out a sinister laugh that made people's hair stand on end.

"Ling Yue, why are you so naive? Your father has died in battle outside the Great Wall. You are now alone, just like me."

"And the reason why I didn't do it was because I had more important things to do. How do you think I survived?"

There was a strange light in the woman's eyes.

"If the queen dies, wouldn't Your Majesty be in great pain? When foreign enemies attack, the monarchy and the imperial power will be in jeopardy. Don't you want to see such a scene?"

The woman's eyes were full of madness and determination, as if she had fallen into a state of madness.

When Ling Yue heard the news that his father had died in battle outside the Great Wall, he froze as if struck by lightning, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

She gripped the edge of the bed with both hands, her fingers turning white from the force.

"No, I don't believe it. There is no foreign invasion in the kingdom now. How could my father die in battle?"

She shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice filled with despair and indignation.

"You hurt the queen and the heir to the throne. What you did is a crime that will punish all of your clans. Your Majesty allowed your father to die with dignity. Perhaps you should be grateful?"

Every word the woman spoke seemed to carry a sharp thorn, and her words were full of sarcasm.

"My father is a general guarding the frontier. He has fought for his country all his life. Your Majesty would not be so cruel to my father. You are lying to me!"

Ling Yue's body trembled violently.

The woman sneered, then slowly took out a jade pendant.

"Look, what is this?"

Ling Yue grabbed the jade pendant that the woman handed to her like a madman, and her pupils dilated sharply in an instant.

It really is daddy’s jade pendant!

Daddy, she...

Ling Yue clenched the jade pendant tightly.

Jun Zechen, you are so cruel!

When the woman next to her saw Ling Yue like this, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

Ling Yue's father was of course not dead. She just got General Ling's jade pendant and tried to trick the fool Ling Yue.

"In two months, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The Queen will host a Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet. When we return to the palace at night, we will pass through the peach forest, which will be closer to Kunning Palace."

The woman's voice was so cold that it seemed to come from the underworld.

"Don't you want to do something?"

At this time, Ling Yue was completely immersed in the grief of losing his father. His eyes were dull and lifeless, as if his soul had been taken away.

The woman continued, "It's up to you whether you do it or not. This is a human skin mask. If you want to get out of the cold palace, you can rely on this."

After saying that, the woman pulled out a human skin mask from her arms and threw it on Ling Yue.

Then the woman put on her human skin mask and turned away.

Ling Yue was left alone in the cold palace, drowned in endless pain and hatred.

Imperial Garden.

Today, Jun Zechen accompanied Su Jingyao in a leisurely stroll in the Imperial Garden.

Su Jingyao's belly has been getting bigger and bigger, and Doctor Li has specifically told her that she needs to walk more.

This will help you build up your physical strength and endurance so you can better exert force during childbirth.

Jun Zechen gently held her waist with one hand and carefully supported her hand with the other.

The way he cherished it was completely different from his usual serious and dignified imperial demeanor.

Since Ming Fei (Princess Ming Yue of Yuehui Kingdom) entered the harem, she has liked the imperial garden of the palace because it is very beautiful.

She also missed the time when she and His Majesty visited the Imperial Garden. His Majesty was very gentle at that time, and he accompanied her to appreciate the flowers and put flowers in her hair.
