The palace servants of the East Palace saw the prince coming back with his concubine in his arms from afar, and they couldn't help but show shock in their eyes.

His eyes seemed to be fixed, staring blankly, and then as if realizing his own gaffe, he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look again, yet he was secretly amazed in his heart.

The concubine is so favored that His Highness is so intimate with her in public, without any regard for etiquette or rules.

Lin Miaoyin, who had just come out for a walk from Huamei Residence, was walking on another path. Huamei Residence was close to Shuening Palace, and she happened to inadvertently see the prince holding the concubine and hurriedly heading towards Shuening Palace from a distance.

After His Highness left Huamei Residence that day, he never came back. Every day, Lin Miaoyin could only look at the bright lights in Shuening Palace and hear laughter from time to time.

Her eyes dimmed instantly and her face was full of loss.

She suffered such an insult when she first entered the Eastern Palace, but fortunately Ye Yaqin and Mu Liyue, who entered the palace with her, were not talkative people and never mentioned it in front of her.

But every time Lin Miaoyin thought of the day when His Highness was worried about the concubine and went to Shuening Palace without hesitation, she felt endless sadness in her heart.

Does she still have a chance?

The concubine must have done it on purpose to show off His Highness's favor in front of her.

The newlyweds had to pay their respects to the Crown Princess every day, but the concubine, relying on His Highness's favor, would only go every few days. When the Crown Princess asked about it, she would just say that His Highness understood her hard work and exempted her from paying her respects.

Despite such an arrogant attitude, His Highness said that the palace maid who came to Huamei Residence that day did not have the instructions of the concubine, but someone framed the concubine. However, in the past ten days, His Highness has not found out the real murderer of his mother.

Although there were rumors that the Crown Princess deliberately set up a trap to frame the concubine, His Highness had no evidence that the Crown Princess had any private dealings with the palace maid Aokiji. It seemed that perhaps His Highness favored the concubine and did not want her to be caught up in rumors, so he did it on purpose.

These days, His Highness has not come to favor any of them, and Lin Miaoyin doesn't know what to do. Every time she wants to meet His Highness by chance, she will be stopped by Anshun.

Besides, a noble lady like Ye Yaqin, who came from a high-class family, kept silent, so she naturally couldn't act rashly.

Lin Miaoyin slowly withdrew her gaze from the prince hugging the concubine and sighed softly.

She will always have a chance. No one's favor can last forever. She silently comforted herself in her heart, and her eyes became firm again.

Shui Ning Palace.

Jun Zechen put her on the bed, then sat aside, gently lifted her legs and placed them on his legs.

She lifted her skirt to reveal her bruised knees. She had fair skin, and this looked shocking.

As soon as Miaoxia came back, she told Nanny Lin, who then walked in with ointment in her hand, looking anxious.

Jun Zechen reached out and took the ointment, his eyes full of heartache and his brows tightly furrowed.

"Didn't I tell you last time that if the Queen Mother summons you, send someone to tell me?"

"If your maid hadn't come to Yude Palace today to tell me that your mother had summoned you, and she was worried that you hadn't taken the medicine and that it would affect your recovery, would you have to kneel in Kunning Palace for an hour or two?"

Jun Zechen's tone was filled with disappointment, his voice slightly raised, his expression serious and a bit angry.

"I just don't want the Queen to think that I am relying on Your Highness's favor and don't even care about her. The Queen is the closest person to Your Highness. Maybe she doesn't like me, but I still have to respect her."

Su Jingyao's eyes were clear and sincere, her words were earnest, and her tone was firm yet gentle.

Jun Zechen stopped talking and applied the ointment on her knees gently.

"My mother is very particular about rules and she cares a lot about my offspring, so she is not happy that I only favor you. Once you are pregnant with my offspring, my mother will no longer dislike you, so don't worry too much."

Jun Zechen's voice was low and gentle. As he spoke, he carefully applied the ointment.

He understood his mother and knew what she cared about, so he didn't think she was wrong.

It was Ling Yue who went to sow discord between the Queen Mother and herself!

A dark color surged in Jun Zechen's lowered eyes, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.

When he was just reborn, Jun Zechen didn't care who was his queen.

But just now in the Queen Mother's Palace, when he saw Ling Yue sitting next to his mother, looking at Su Jingyao who was kneeling on the ground with contempt, Jun Zechen felt a surge of nameless anger in his heart.

I just feel that it shouldn’t be like this!

Ling Yue, she is not worthy.

Since Ling Yue had been the queen for her entire life in her previous life, and she also has the memories of her previous life in this life, there is no need for Jun Zechen to keep his promise.

He had to find a time to confront Ling Yue before she became more paranoid and made a big mistake.

If Ling Yue is willing to leave the palace, Jun Zechen can give her gold and silver and set her free, allowing her to soar into the vast sky and sea from then on.

If she still clings to power, Jun Zechen will not protect her. If he had not withstood the pressure from his mother and court officials in his previous life, Ling Yue would never have been able to ascend to the position of queen.

Even if she tried to please her mother in this life, what about the court officials? She had no children, and for this reason alone, she was not worthy of being the mother of the country.

At this time in his previous life, Jun Zechen was young and arrogant, and would not tolerate anyone resisting him. In addition, he valued Ling Yue's promise, so he promoted Ling Yue to the position of queen.

-

After Su Jingyao injured her knee, Jun Zechen immediately exempted her from future greetings.

As for Aokiji's murder of the concubine and framing the Crown Princess, since Aokiji did not have any solid evidence to identify the Crown Princess, and Jun Zechen instead discovered other tokens related to the Concubine, Jun Zechen was furious and directly gave Aokiji a white silk and asked him to hang himself.
