Chapter 806
"......drink wine?"
Zhong Jie was taken aback.
Huo Yue squatted down, picking up the things that Zhong Jie had just thrown at him, and said, "Yes, there is imperial wine in the palace. Brother Chen was craving it last time, but he was too embarrassed to go by himself, so he dragged me along."
Chen Zongwen was in the mansion; Huo Yue had no reason to tell such a lie.
And secretly going out for drinks... that's something those two would do when they're together.
Huo Yue quickly packed his things and, seeing that Zhong Jie had already sat down, he took a few steps forward and sat down next to her: "Why are you so angry? What happened?"
Zhong Jie gave him a disgruntled look and told him about Huo Zhao's visit to the palace that day.
After hearing Zhong Jie's words, a cold glint flashed in Huo Yue's eyes: "That Consort Jing in the palace really knows how to cause trouble."
“Who says otherwise? I think Sister Chen is quite angry too, but she just didn’t say it out loud,” Zhong Jie said. “You’re familiar with Consort Jing, can you guess what Consort Jing is planning?”
Huo Yue's scalp tingled: "Me and her? I'm not familiar with her at all! Let alone how many years it's been since we last saw each other, even before I left Luoyang, I wasn't familiar with her!"
Zhong Jie glanced at him: "You two were engaged before, you don't know her well, who are you trying to fool?"
"Heaven and earth bear witness!" Huo Yue almost knelt down and cried out his innocence, "We really aren't close. Madam, you know me. In my heart, there has only ever been..."
Huo Yue stopped abruptly, and his face turned red at a visible speed.
He avoided Zhong Jie's gaze, as if he dared not look her in the eye.
Zhong Jie frowned: "Why do you seem so guilty?"
Huo Yue sighed deeply: "My lady, don't you know who I've always loved?"
Her voice grew softer and softer.
If there were outsiders here, seeing Huo Yue like this, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets in shock!
Is this still the same Yunnan King who once dominated the battlefield?
He's clearly a young man just beginning to experience romantic love!
Zhong Jie's cheeks flushed slightly.
However, she quickly realized: "We're not talking about who the person in your heart is, we're talking about Consort Jing, Consort Jing!"
Huo Yue also realized what was happening.
right.
Consort Jing.
“In my opinion, you two shouldn’t involve Zhao Zhao in your affairs,” Zhong Jie said. “Try to go to the palace soon and talk to her about what you have to say, so she won’t keep looking for Zhao Zhao all the time.”
Huo Yue's eyes widened: "I'm going to find her?!"
Putting aside the fact that it's not easy for men from outside the palace to enter, the emperor also knew about his past with Consort Jing.
In the Emperor's mind, the relationship between the two of them was already sensitive. Now that he had taken the initiative to see Consort Jing, who knows what the Emperor was thinking!
Zhong Jie quickly realized this as well.
She was a little agitated just now.
Zhong Jie took a deep breath and said, "Then, if you have something to say to me, I will go to the palace tomorrow and convey it to Consort Jing."
Huo Yue twitched the corner of his mouth: "Madam, I have nothing to say to her. Say whatever you want. What time are you going to the palace tomorrow? I'll come pick you up."
"No need!" Zhong Jie said irritably. "Since you have nothing to say, then just leave this matter alone and go to sleep!"
Seeing that Zhong Jie was indeed not going to pay attention to him, Huo Yue sighed and didn't press the matter further.
——
The next day, Zhong Jie went to the palace.
