"Miaoyun, go and bring Ling over." Su Jingyao ordered.

Then he said to Li Jing, "You go down first."

Li Jing responded respectfully and retreated.

When Ling Yue came over, she saw Su Jingyao sitting quietly on the bed with an expressionless face.

She stood in the center of the bedroom, with a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness on her face. She pursed her lips and did not speak or salute, looking unruly.

Seeing this, Xilu frowned, but she would not tolerate her rudeness.

He strode forward and mercilessly pushed the man to his knees.

"Ling Yue, you said last night that your father died?"

Su Jingyao turned her head slightly and asked with a smile, but there was a sharp flash in her eyes.

Ling Yue frowned, with confusion and anger in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Ling Yue, you hate me and want to kill me, and even want to harm the heir in my belly."

"For such a serious crime, even chopping off your father's head would not be too much of an exaggeration. Even your father's unyielding character throughout his military career has been tarnished because of you. Are you happy?"

Su Jingyao curled up her lips into a mocking smile and looked at Ling Yue with cold eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My father has been killed by His Majesty. My father is dead!"

Ling Yue's eyes widened and she yelled in disbelief, her face flushed red.

"If I convince myself, can I find comfort in my heart?"

"Ling Yue, you don't really care whether your father is still alive or not. You just want to give yourself a reason to kill me."

Su Jingyao raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of disdain.

"Why do you use your thoughts to speculate about me? Isn't it all because of you that I have become like this?"

Ling Yue looked at Su Jingyao hatefully, anger burning in her eyes and her teeth chattering.

"You became like this because I stole your majesty? Because I stole your position as queen?"

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows, with a hint of contempt in her tone.

"Ling Yue, what makes you think that all this is born to you? Your stupidity is not worthy of your greed."

Su Jingyao said coldly, her eyes full of frost.

"Are you trying to say that everything you did was instigated by others and you have always been innocent?"

Su Jingyao continued speaking, without any change in her facial expression.

"However, you are greedy, you are mean, you are stupid and ignorant, and you are vicious at heart. Are you worthy of the position of queen?"

With every word Su Jingyao spoke, her eyes became colder.

When Ling Yue heard Su Jingyao's criticism of her, she looked like she wanted to pounce on Su Jingyao and bite her.

"Su Jingyao, you are the one who has despicable means, and you are also the one with a vicious heart. When you first entered the East Palace, you pretended to be simple and weak, deceived me, framed me, alienated the relationship between me and His Majesty, and then took away my position as Queen!"

Ling Yue shouted hysterically, her voice sharp and piercing.

"Yes, so what? Since I have entered the East Palace and become the prince's wife, why shouldn't I compete for his favor?"

"Since I want to compete for your favor, I must do my best. I have taken your Majesty's heart. It is my ability. If you cannot keep it, it is your incompetence."

Su Jingyao's voice was still faint, forming a sharp contrast with Ling Yue's hoarse voice.

But every word was like a sharp sword, piercing Ling Yue's heart.

"Yes, I am incompetent. I have been jealous of you since the first day you entered the East Palace. You have a good family background, beauty, and talent. You are what every man in the world likes."

"You have everything, why did you take away your majesty? I have nothing, and you took away the only thing I have."

Su Jingyao shook her head, her face now filled with boredom.

She really didn't want to say any more words to Ling Yue.

Only cowards will beg others to let them go, while smart people understand that they need to stop losses in time.

The moment Ling Yue knew that Jun Zechen didn't love her, she should have understood that she should not cling to illusory love.

Since you have chosen to fight for power in the court, you must have the courage to accept failure calmly.

After all, you are responsible for your own life.

Should you choose to muddle through in a muddle-headed way, or live a splendid life in various forms, or maintain a calm and leisurely attitude.

It all depends on yourself.

"I am no longer interested in discussing this issue with you. I will give you two choices."

Su Jingyao's eyes were as indifferent as a calm lake, without any ripples.

But the words that came out of her mouth were chilling.

"Tell me who is behind you, and I will show mercy and let you die."

"If you refuse to tell me, I will make you wish you were dead, and then I will take your father's head."

"Hahaha, do you think I will tell you? I have failed this time, but I am not the only one who hates you. There will always be someone who will pull you down from the high altar."

Ling Yue raised her head stubbornly and said this with a tough mouth, but her eyes clearly revealed a hint of panic.

If Daddy hadn't died, Your Majesty would never have allowed the Queen to act so recklessly.

She seemed to still be trying to grasp that unrealistic fantasy, but she didn't know that she was already in a desperate situation and couldn't extricate herself.

"Oh."

Su Jingyao curled up the corner of her mouth into a slight smile, with disdain in her laughter.

"It's Concubine Ye."

The surprise in Ling Yue's eyes quickly spread.

How would she know?

"I wanted to give you a chance, but unfortunately you couldn't seize it."
