Su Jingyao sat upright on the couch with a solemn expression, like a frozen statue.

Li Jing on the opposite side looked at her. At this time, the warm room was silent with only the two of them. Su Jingyao had already asked Miaoyun to wait outside.

Only Li Jing could know that she was planning to fake her death and leave the palace.

"Is the Queen really going to leave the palace?"

When Li Jing heard her express her intention to leave the palace, he felt his heart suddenly shrink as if it was going to jump out of his throat.

He originally thought that just quietly guarding her in the palace for the rest of his life would be a perfect ending.

But she actually said she wanted to leave the palace!

An indescribable joy spread in Li Jing's heart.

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, her movement was light but extremely firm.

"Only you and I know this."

Her voice was low, and her eyes showed unquestionable determination.

"As long as it's what you want, I'm willing to help you."

Li Jing's eyes were also extremely determined. No matter what the reason was that made her have such an idea, as long as it was what she wanted to do, he would definitely help her.

"The best time to fake my death is the day I give birth, but before I leave the palace, I must clear the obstacles for my unborn child and the Su family."

Su Jingyao took a deep breath and frowned slightly.

She has always been selfish. She just wants to live a comfortable and happy life. Family and children come after herself.

Su Jingyao will never let family honor restrict her life. If family honor is consistent with her goal, she will go all out. Otherwise, she will never let it restrict her hands and feet.

What she was most worried about was Xingxing, but Jun Zechen always treated the princes equally, and the only thing Su Jingyao could get for Xingxing was Jun Zechen's promise. Before she faked her death, she must let Jun Zechen protect Xingxing for life.

"Is she a concubine in the harem?"

"Xianfei, Ye Yaqin, the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, including her family."

"My pregnancy was closely guarded by the Queen Mother and His Majesty. No concubine dared to attack me. In addition, two other concubines in the harem were pregnant, which drew some attention to my pregnancy."

If Su Jingyao did not plan to leave the palace, she would naturally be happy to see such a situation.

But now, since no one dares to harm her, it seems a little difficult for her to frame someone.

"However, in this situation, it would be difficult to frame Concubine Xian for my difficult labor. Concubine Xian is smart and calm, and she would not do anything unless she is absolutely sure."

"The only thing we can use is that His Majesty has plans to get rid of the Ye family. If we can..."

After hearing her analysis, Li Jing couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly said, "Then we will give her a plan that will be sure to make you have a difficult birth."

Hearing this, Su Jingyao raised her eyes slightly and looked at him.

"You have an idea?"

Li Jing nodded, looking determined.

"Don't worry, Queen, I will arrange everything."

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows. Li Jing might have more people in the palace than she, who had just taken the throne, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After chatting with Li Jing that day, a few days passed leisurely.

Su Jingyao was concentrating on her pregnancy and had great trust in Li Jing's arrangements. Her most important goal now was to make Jun Zechen believe that she truly loved him and to prevent Jun Zechen from having any suspicion about her "death".

After all, how could someone who was so eager to be the queen and loved him so much fake her death and leave the palace?

-

Zhongcui Palace.

When Ye Yaqin received the letter from her family today, her originally gentle face was instantly filled with gloom and her expression became extremely serious.

There was deep worry in his eyes and his brows were furrowed.

She was shocked to find that her father actually condoned the Ye family branch's training of private soldiers in other cities, and her heart was filled with confusion.

She really didn't understand. The Ye family now held high positions in the court and enjoyed all the glory and wealth. What was there for them to be dissatisfied with?

Both the late emperor and Your Majesty who has just ascended the throne are wise rulers who govern the country in an orderly manner and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

If the Ye family rebels at this time, wouldn't it be despised by the world? Where does Daddy's confidence come from? Is it just because he controls part of the military power of the monarchy?

Ye Yaqin thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out. In desperation, she could only write a letter to her father to ask.

But her father's answer was that he was not training the soldiers to rebel, but to make plans for her to give birth to a prince in the future.

Daddy's goal has always been to make her the queen and have her future prince become the emperor of the country.

Although this has always been Ye Yaqin's dream, if His Majesty knew about such a confidential matter as training soldiers, it would be a serious crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan!

The more Ye Yaqin thought about it, the more frightened she became. She clenched the letter paper tightly in her hand, and her knuckles turned white from the force.

She couldn't help but think of Ling Yue's words at the time, that His Majesty would get rid of the Ye family for the Queen.

When Ling Yue "died", Ye Yaqin knew that this was just a cover for His Majesty to send Ling Yue out of the palace, so she specially ordered people outside the palace to keep a close eye on Ling Yue's movements.

If Ling Yue really knew something about the future, she would naturally keep such a person firmly in her hands. Maybe she could even rely on some information from Ling Yue to deal a fatal blow to the Queen.

But she never expected that the people she sent out failed to intercept Ling Yue at all. Could it be that Ling Yue was really dead?

Or was it that Ling Yue was actually deceived by His Majesty, and His Majesty was so cruel as to kill his wife for the Queen?

Just as Ye Yaqin was leaning on the couch with her eyes half closed, thinking solemnly.
