Chapter 808
A flash of hatred crossed Consort Jing's face.
Zhong Jie clearly saw the hatred in her eyes and curled her lips mockingly: "It seems that Consort Jing has really been yearning for the outside world all these years in the palace... But what's the use of doing these things now? He has already married you, and you have long been His Majesty's woman. Does Consort Jing want to do something else?"
Consort Jing stared at her intently: "Today, I have been waiting for you, just wanting you to convey a message for me."
"Does Consort Jing think I came to the palace to deliver a message to you, so that you two could put on some lovey-dovey show right under my nose?" Zhong Jie sneered. "You're wrong, Consort Jing. I came here this time because I have something to say to you."
Regardless of your thoughts back then, what's done is done. Now you are the emperor's woman. If you develop inappropriate feelings for Huo Yue, it could implicate your entire clan.
Even assuming, hypothetically, that Huo Yue still harbors feelings for you, given your current status, a relationship between the two of you is impossible.
As she spoke, Zhong Jie's eyes darted around: "Could it be that Consort Jing is planning to have Huo Yue raise an army in rebellion to seize you?"
Consort Jing's face turned ashen: "I never thought that way, don't you dare make false accusations!"
“Since there is no such thing, then there is no need for Consort Jing to say anything more,” Zhong Jie said calmly. “Today, I am standing here as the Princess of Yunnan to make you give up. If you continue to cause trouble, I am ready to accompany you at any time. But if you dare to disturb Zhao Zhao, don’t blame me for what I will do to Consort Jing’s family.”
After saying that, Zhong Jie turned around and prepared to leave.
Behind her, Consort Jing suddenly stood up: "What I want to say has been on my mind for a long time. Can't you let me get it off my chest?!"
How could she be so heartless!
She had been longing for so many years with nowhere to vent her feelings, and all she wanted was for Zhong Jie to pass on a message for her. Why wouldn't Zhong Jie agree?
It's just a single sentence!
But Zhong Jie didn't pause for a moment: "I'm not your mother."
Should we let her vent her frustrations?
Suffocate her!
Zhong Jie left Consort Jing's palace directly and walked away.
She didn't turn around even once, so she didn't see Consort Jing's extremely ugly face, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
But even if Zhong Jie saw it, she wouldn't do anything.
She walked out of the palace like that.
Seeing that Huo Yue was indeed standing at the palace gate waiting for her, Zhong Jie rolled her eyes at him and got into the carriage.
Once Huo Yue was seated in the carriage, Zhong Jie kicked him, saying, "How come I never noticed before that you're so charming? She's already a concubine in the palace, and she still can't forget you!"
Huo Yue exclaimed, "Oh dear! It's still Madam's charm that's greater. Even though other people are so interested in me, my heart still belongs only to Madam!"
Zhong Jie rolled her eyes at him again.
Smooth talker!
After leaving the palace, the two did not return to the Prince's residence, but went to the Changping Marquis's residence instead.
Upon hearing that the two had arrived, Huo Zhao hurriedly came out to greet them.
Seeing the strange atmosphere between Huo Yue and Zhong Jie, Huo Zhao tilted his head and asked, "Father, did you make Mother angry?"
Huo Yue sighed helplessly, "How could I dare?"
“It’s him,” Zhong Jie stepped forward and took Huo Zhao’s arm. “Your father is no reliable person. Let’s ignore him and take me for a walk in your yard.”
Huo Yue opened his mouth, but Zhong Jie had already turned and left with Huo Zhao, not giving him a chance to speak at all.
Huo Zhao accompanied Zhong Jie for a leisurely stroll in the backyard.
As she was walking, she suddenly felt dizzy and her body went limp. Fortunately, Zhong Jie reacted quickly and caught her.
"What's wrong?"
Zhong Jie looked nervous.
Huo Zhao shook his head: "It's probably because he didn't get enough rest, it's nothing serious."
