Cold Palace.
Jun Zechen stepped into this place he had never been to before, and every step seemed to carry a heavy breath.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around. The scene here was too desolate and dilapidated.
At this time, Ling Yue was wearing an extremely ordinary palace skirt, without any gorgeous decoration on it.
Her face was not made up at all, and she looked particularly haggard. Her hair was casually tied up with a simple silver hairpin that had almost no patterns on it.
When seeing Jun Zechen walk in, Ling Yue managed to pull up a sad smile with great difficulty, a smile filled with pain and sorrow.
"Your Majesty...are you willing to come and see me?"
Ling Yue's voice trembled slightly, as if saying this took all her strength.
Jun Zechen was not moved at all by this. He was as calm as water and said in a low voice: "If I don't come to see you, the Queen and the eldest prince will meet with an unexpected event. Didn't you threaten me to come?"
"Your Majesty, do you have no feelings for me now? Does Your Majesty still remember the tenderness and love we once had?" Ling Yue's heart was dead, but she still hoped to arouse even a trace of pity from this man.
"You relied on my guilt towards you and planned everything step by step. Have you ever thought about wearing away my feelings for you? What qualifications do you have to ask these questions now?"
Jun Zechen's voice was filled with indifference. He had already done his best for Ling Yue.
"Forget it, what's the point of saying this now?" Ling Yue smiled sadly.
Then Ling Yue continued: "Today I threatened Your Majesty just because I wanted to see Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is naturally aware that the Queen is high above and holds power over the six palaces. How can a mere poor person like me hurt her?" Ling Yue's tone was full of self-mockery.
"Then why do you want to see me?" Jun Zechen's face showed a hint of impatience.
"I say that I was wrongly accused and that the Queen deliberately framed me. Your Majesty, are you willing to believe me?"
There was a hint of emptiness in Ling Yue's eyes, and her voice seemed to come from far away, asking softly.
Jun Zechen remained silent, and Ling Yue's heart was filled with endless sadness.
"I don't ask Your Majesty to believe me, but could Your Majesty please check it yourself? The testimony of Gong Zhengsi is all false!"
Ling Yue's voice gradually became louder, with a hint of urgency.
"Then tell me why the Queen wants to hurt the Third Prince. If the Queen wants to hurt the Third Prince, can the Third Prince still be born smoothly?"
If Yaoyao wanted to harm the Third Prince, why didn't she just let Concubine Chu have an abortion? Why would she go through so much trouble after giving birth?
"I have told the Queen before that the Third Prince will be raised by you. This is my way of compensating you."
"The queen is generous and kind. Even though the second prince had a miscarriage because of you, she never harmed you. Even though she knew that I would adopt the third prince to you, she never did anything to harm him."
Jun Zechen's words were full of protection and trust for the Queen.
Ling Yue took a deep breath, her chest heaving slightly, and a deep helplessness revealed in her eyes.
She knew very well that no matter what she said, His Majesty would firmly believe in the Queen.
"I never said that it was the Queen who harmed the Third Prince. Rather, it was the Queen who used the Third Prince's matter to try to get rid of me. The evidence from the Palace Administration Department is all fake. Why is Your Majesty unwilling to investigate thoroughly?"
Ling Yue's voice trembled slightly, and her hands were tightly twisting the corners of her clothes.
The evidence provided by the Queen was maliciously fabricated. As long as Your Majesty is willing to investigate further, he will find that the mastermind behind the scenes is actually Concubine Lin, and he is just a pawn used by Concubine Lin.
He would also know that the queen had no ability to distinguish right from wrong and was truly unfit to be the queen.
That's why she tried every means to see His Majesty. If she allowed the Queen to make such a final judgment, she would never be able to leave the cold palace in her life.
"I believe in all the decisions of the Queen. If you just want to tell me this, I think you have no intention of repenting."
Jun Zechen said coldly, then he turned around resolutely and was about to walk out.
He was the one who personally ordered the dethronement of Ling Yue. If he were to review the matter, how would Yaoyao view him?
The relationship between him and Yaoyao cannot withstand repeated separation.
If it turns out that Ling Yue was really wronged, wouldn't that be bad for Yaoyao?
But if it turns out that Ling Yue is not innocent, then his relationship with Yaoyao will be in jeopardy.
There was no way Jun Zechen would be willing to continue investigating.
Ling Yue suddenly knelt on the ground, and his knees hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound.
Her face was full of disbelief. This man who had once sworn to love her was now so cruel. Did he really trust the Queen that much?
"Your Majesty, wait!" Ling Yue shouted anxiously.
"I have just asked someone to invite the Queen over. Judging from the time, the Queen should be here soon. I'm sure Your Majesty doesn't want the Queen to know that you have come to my place."
Ling Yue spoke slowly and expressionlessly, her voice seemingly devoid of any emotion.
Jun Zechen turned around quickly, his dark eyes staring at Ling Yue as sharply as a hawk.
"Why did you call the Queen here?" His voice was low and full of majesty.
"Since Your Majesty trusts the Queen so much, why don't you listen to what the Queen will say to me? Your Majesty, please go and hide in the back. I will not let the Queen know you are here."
Ling Yue still spoke calmly, without any expression on her face.
