Su Jingyao came to Kunning Palace and, under the guidance of the palace maid, stepped into the main hall of Kunning Palace.

At this time, the queen was sitting upright on the phoenix chair in the first seat with a solemn posture.

Ling Yue sat below her and chatted with her, with a flattering smile on her face, and took a sip from her teacup from time to time.

"I pay my respects to the Empress and the Crown Princess."

Su Jingyao bowed slightly, her voice clear but respectful.

The queen's gaze slowly fell on Su Jingyao. When she first met her, she seemed to be dressed quite low-key and reserved, but when she saw her today, she was completely different.

She was indeed favored by the prince, her figure swayed gracefully, her eyes showed confidence and pride, and she carried herself with an overbearing attitude.

The silks and satins she wore, the pearls and jewels on her hair, and the bracelets on her wrists were either precious tributes from foreign countries or carefully presented tributes from other cities. The queen was quite familiar with all of these.

After all, Your Majesty used to reward favored concubines with these things. Now that the Crown Prince has taken charge of state affairs, Your Majesty has handed all of these over to the Crown Prince.

"Stand up, concubine, please sit down too."

The queen raised her hand slightly with a cold expression.

"Thank you, Queen."

Su Jingyao stood up and sat opposite Ling Yue.

"I called you here today because I am concerned about your health. I heard that you were poisoned and had a headache. Are you feeling better now?"

The Queen's voice was steady.

"Your Highness, I am much better now. My headache has healed after Doctor Li helped me to relieve the effects of the medicine."

Su Jingyao answered with a look of gratitude on her face, as if she didn't expect the queen to care about her so much.

"I remember the day when Concubine had a headache, it was the day when His Highness went to Lin Liangyuan's place. That night Concubine invited the Crown Prince to your Shuining Palace?"

The queen's voice was calm, but there seemed to be a hint of hostility in her tone, and her eyes became fierce.

"Your Highness, I didn't do this. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still investigating, and I can't come to a conclusion."

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, her eyes full of grievance.

"If that's the case, then let's wait for the Crown Prince to investigate. However, as the Queen, I still want to remind you that as the Crown Prince's wife or concubine, the most taboo thing is to be jealous and fight for the Crown Prince's favor."

The Queen's tone was serious.

"Yes, I will remember the Queen's teachings."

Su Jingyao quickly lowered her head with a submissive look.

"I also heard that on the day you had a headache, Doctor Li found out that someone had given you contraceptive drugs?"

"Yes, I don't know who envied me, but I have suffered such a disaster. I cannot give birth to children for Your Highness. I am unlucky."

Su Jingyao lowered her eyes, sadness revealed in them, and her expression was somewhat pitiful.

"I heard that the Crown Prince is also investigating this matter. However, this matter is of great importance, and I will also start to find out the truth. I take matters that are detrimental to the Crown Prince's offspring very seriously."

When the queen spoke later, her voice became slightly heavier and her eyes became meaningful.

Su Jingyao instantly understood the Queen's hidden meaning. What the Queen valued most was Jun Zechen's offspring, but Jun Zechen promised her not to favor other women in the short term. The Queen asked her to come here today, probably to find out about this matter.

But the queen didn't say it clearly, so Su Jingyao could only pretend not to know.

"Yes, I will take good care of my body and try to give birth to a child for Your Highness as soon as possible."

Su Jingyao had a respectful smile on her face.

The queen lowered her eyes, picked up the teacup, and took a sip slowly.

Is the concubine planning to get away with it casually?

The queen snorted in her heart, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her face.

"I feel that it is not appropriate for the concubine to take care of the crown prince while she is recuperating. What do you think, Crown Princess?"

The queen raised her head and looked at Ling Yue.

Ling Yue smiled when she heard that.

"A concubine should take good care of her body. She is not suitable to take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Moreover, many sisters have entered the East Palace now. They are in good health. If they take good care of the Crown Prince, they will surely be pregnant with His Royal Highness's children soon."

After saying that, Ling Yue provocatively shifted his gaze to Su Jingyao, his eyes full of gloating.

"What do you think, Concubine?"

The queen turned her head and looked at Su Jingyao gently, but beneath her gentle appearance was a majesty that could not be refused.

There was a heavy sense of oppression in the hall, making it hard to breathe.

"Empress, Crown Princess, there is nothing wrong with my body. I am just being treated by Imperial Doctor Li to remove the contraceptive drug residues in my body. Imperial Doctor Li has never said that I cannot serve Your Highness."

Su Jingyao raised her eyes with an earnest look.

"If the Empress and the Crown Princess feel that I should not serve Your Highness, I will tell Your Highness the truth."

The queen narrowed her eyes, somewhat annoyed.

As expected of the daughter of Minister Su, she is eloquent and clever, yet she dares to threaten her?

"Concubine, I am not stopping you from serving the Crown Prince, but you are unable to get pregnant now. However, I and His Majesty are both looking forward to the Crown Prince's offspring, and many new people have entered the Eastern Palace."

"You have monopolized the crown prince. If I pursue this, I will punish you according to palace rules."

The Queen's voice grew stern.

"My Queen, I have never thought of monopolizing Your Highness."

Su Jingyao quickly shook her head, her eyes filled with panic.

"So what you mean is that the prince is only willing to go to you, and he doesn't like any other woman in the East Palace?"

The Queen's voice became heavier.

"If that's the case, then you are seducing your master." The queen shouted angrily.

Su Jingyao frowned and her face turned pale instantly. She quickly got up from the chair and knelt in the hall.

"Please forgive me, Queen, I didn't do that."
