When Jun Zechen arrived at Shuining Palace, although there was no expression on his face, his eyes were filled with anxiety.

Miaoyun, who was waiting outside the bedroom, saw the Crown Prince rushing in. She was full of doubts and a look of confusion on her face.

Didn’t His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to Huamei Residence?

"Where is your master?"

"The master is resting in the bedroom."

Miaoyun didn't know what was going on and was panicked, but she forced herself to remain calm and answered respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Jun Zechen strode directly into the bedroom without saying a word.

In the bedroom, Su Jingyao had not rested yet. She was sitting cross-legged on the bed leisurely, while Miaoxia was sitting beside the bed. The two were chatting and laughing while playing mahjong to pass the time.

Since Jun Zechen didn't come to Shuining Palace, she had extra time in the evening. In addition to reading, she naturally had to find some fun for herself.

It is no wonder that in ancient times, women in both the imperial palace and the mansions of marquisates were full of calculations. If one did not think about scheming against others every day, life would be too boring.

Su Jingyao has always loved herself the most, so no matter what situation she is in, she must make her life comfortable and happy.

The closer Jun Zechen got to the bed, the clearer the woman's laughter and conversation became in his ears.

His hurried steps slowed down instantly, and his face became as terribly gloomy as the sky before a storm.

The tight corners of his mouth showed his extreme displeasure at the moment.

Headache?

Oh.

Jun Zechen had just walked to the bedside when Miaoxia first spotted him. She was startled at first, then quickly stood up and saluted: "Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After paying her respects, Miaoxia saw that His Highness seemed to be in a bad mood, but she still tactfully withdrew.

When Su Jingyao heard that Jun Zechen was coming, she was even more shocked than yesterday.

Why is he here?!

Then she moved closer to the bed and blinked at him innocently.

Why do you look so ugly?

Su Jingyao's heart sank, but her face remained calm and she did not show any panic.

She got off the bed without even bothering to put on her shoes, and walked quickly to Jun Zechen barefoot, holding his big hands with both of hers and bowing.

The voice was gentle: "Why is your highness here?"

Jun Zechen pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but stared at her with his dark eyes. His eyes were so cold that they seemed to be able to freeze people.

He lowered his eyes and approached her step by step.

Under his overwhelming momentum, Su Jingyao could only retreat step by step in panic until she had nowhere to retreat, and her delicate body suddenly sat down on the bed.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Su Jingyao's voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

Jun Zechen snorted coldly, bent down, clamped her chin with his tiger's mouth, and forced her head up high.

"What's wrong?"

"Your maid came to Huamei Residence and said you had a headache. I was so worried that I came to see you, but you were here playing cards leisurely."

His voice was full of oppression, and every word seemed to contain ice chips.

"What? Are you so bold that you dare to deceive me now?"

Jun Zechen's eyes became increasingly cold, and the strength in his hands unconsciously increased a bit.

When Su Jingyao heard that the palace maid in her palace went to Huamei Residence to invite Jun Zechen, a moment of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly understood what was going on.

Ling Yue is really amazing.

She was in charge of all the affairs of the Eastern Palace. Su Jingyao had long known that there must be Ling Yue's people in her Shuening Palace, so she specifically asked Nanny Lin to take strict precautions and never let these palace maids enter her bedroom, let alone touch her food.

Even any palace maid who went out for no reason had to be closely monitored, but recently the palace maids in Shuening Palace had been behaving themselves and doing their own things, and had no involvement with Qiluan Palace.

No wonder there was no need to tip off, they were just waiting for this drama.

Last time, she sent people to Qiluan Palace to snatch Jun Zechen away. This time, Jun Zechen was so angry that he must have believed in his heart that it was she who sent people to invite him away.

Although her arrogant and domineering personality has always made her feel good, Jun Zechen takes it for granted that she should do these things to win favor, and he does not have any doubts at all.

However, since Ling Yue had set a trap for her, she could use this opportunity to test Jun Zechen's attitude.

"Your Highness, I did not send anyone to invite you. It must be a frame-up by the Crown Princess."

Su Jingyao's eyes were determined, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was eager to complain.

"The Crown Princess framed me?"

Jun Zechen raised his eyebrows slightly, his deep eyes showed no fluctuations, and he obviously didn't believe it.

He knew that she hated and was hostile to Ling Yue, but did she think that he doted on her to the point where he couldn't tell right from wrong, black from white?

"Speaking of the Crown Princess, I just wanted to ask you, did you show off that bracelet in public this morning and embarrass the Crown Princess?"

Jun Zechen's tone became increasingly harsh, his eyes locked on her, not allowing her to escape at all.

Su Jingyao slowly lowered her eyes, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and a dark color passed through her eyes.

Sure enough, with her criminal record, it was difficult for Jun Zechen to believe her words easily.

If she wanted to kill Ling Yue at this moment, she would have to produce evidence that Ling Yue framed her. But obviously, unless she could find the token between the palace maid and Ling Yue, if she didn't find it, Ling Yue might turn the tables on her.

Since Ling Yue wanted her to live up to her title of favorite concubine, she might as well do as she wished!

"Yes, it is Your Highness that I am going to Huamei Residence to invite tonight."

Su Jingyao suddenly raised her eyes, tears flashing in them, but also revealing a fearless stubbornness.
