Jun Zechen, who had been standing in the cubicle, could only see Ling Yue because of the angle, while Su Jingyao had her back to him.
He stared at Ling Yue intently, and when he saw Ling Yue actually taking action and Yaoyao was about to lose her balance, Jun Zechen's heart tightened, and he quickly came out, hugged her waist and held her steady.
Then there was a crisp "pop" sound, which echoed in the silent and empty palace, as if it had been amplified countless times.
Ling Yue felt a sharp burning pain on her face. Her head suddenly tilted and she lost her balance instantly and fell straight to the ground.
Her eyes widened, filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Jun Zechen looked at Su Jingyao worriedly and asked softly, "Is Yaoyao okay?"
Su Jingyao shook her head gently, her expression remaining calm.
Ling Yue was lying on the ground, looking at the intimacy between the two people in front of her. First, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then the laughter became louder and louder.
She raised her head and laughed wildly, laughing at her own stupidity, her own sadness, and her own failed life...
When Jun Zechen heard Ling Yue's almost crazy laughter, he couldn't help but frown and turned to look at her.
"Ling Yue, I never thought that you would become such a ruthless and vicious person like you are now."
Jun Zechen really didn't expect that Ling Yue had reached the point where she could use poison to murder the royal heir. She was simply crazy.
After saying that, Jun Zechen took Su Jingyao's hand and turned away resolutely.
Su Jingyao followed Jun Zechen for a few steps, then turned her head slightly to look at Ling Yue who was slumped on the ground, a smug smile slowly forming at the corner of her mouth.
One of his eyebrows was slightly raised upwards, with a hint of provocation and disdain.
He mouthed a few words to Ling Yue, "You're so stupid."
Today's show was naturally directed by Su Jingyao. It was she who arranged Yan'er, and it was also she who arranged for Yan'er to walk in front of Jun Zechen and convey Ling Yue's words.
Ling Yue asked Yan'er to come to Kunning Palace to find her, and she also came to the cold palace at the right time.
Although Su Jingyao was not going to pretend in front of Jun Zechen for the rest of her life, she would not be exposed because of Ling Yue's clumsy tactics.
When Ling Yue saw Su Jingyao's true face finally revealed, she suddenly realized that she must have known that His Majesty was here, so she had been pretending!
"Jun Zechen, I hate you! Su Jingyao doesn't love you at all. You have never seen Su Jingyao's true appearance. Do you know how ridiculous your doting on her is?"
When Jun Zechen heard Ling Yue's call, he paused slightly, but he did not stop. He still walked out of the cold palace quickly with Su Jingyao.
"I hate you!"
Ling Yue collapsed and sat on the ground. She clenched her fists tightly and slapped the ground hard. Even though there were waves of pain in her hands, it was far less than the despair and helplessness she felt at this moment.
No wonder Su Jingyao could deceive Jun Zechen so much. If it weren’t for Su Jingyao’s smile when she looked back, which made her so terrified, she would have been deceived by Su Jingyao’s disguise.
Ling Yue's whole body was shaking violently, and she suddenly felt very cold.
She longed for love and power since she was a child because she didn't want to be bullied.
She wanted to go back to the time when Aze protected her, when he loved her wholeheartedly, when he trusted her forever...
But she couldn't go back, she had nothing left...
On the imperial carriage, there was a slight distance between Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao.
Jun Zechen was keenly aware of the strange feeling emanating from her, which made him feel a little helpless.
He moved his body slightly and took the initiative to move closer to her position until the two of them were pressed tightly together.
"What happened to Yaoyao?"
Su Jingyao sat there dignifiedly and indifferently, with an expression on her face as cold as ice.
"I am just as Ling Yue said, I am two-faced, vicious, and jealous. Your Majesty, it would be best if you could see through me as soon as possible."
"I know exactly what kind of person Yaoyao is, and I will certainly not listen to one-sided words." Jun Zechen hurriedly explained.
Su Jingyao glanced at him and then asked, "Why is Your Majesty in the cold palace?"
When Jun Zechen heard her question, he felt inexplicably nervous.
"Ling Yue threatened me with Yaoyao and Xingxing. I went there only because I was worried about Yaoyao, but after I got there, I realized that Ling Yue had only tricked me into going there."
"Then why did Your Majesty hide away when I went to the cold palace?"
There was no change in the expression on Su Jingyao's face, she still looked extremely cold.
Jun Zechen's eyes flashed with panic, "I'm just afraid Yaoyao will think too much."
He even felt that he was incredible now. As an emperor, he should not be so emotionally swayed by a woman.
But he couldn't help but have drastic emotional fluctuations because of her mood swings.
Just like at this moment, Jun Zechen's heart was filled with unprecedented tension, this tension made his breathing slightly rapid.
After hearing his words, Su Jingyao did not say anything. She continued to sit there dignifiedly, staring straight ahead.
Jun Zechen's heart suddenly became uneasy.
What does she mean?
Jun Zechen locked his eyes on Su Jingyao, trying to find some clues from her expressionless face, but in the end he found nothing, which made him even more flustered.
After that, the atmosphere between the two of them was like frozen in ice, and remained deadlocked until the imperial carriage came to a steady stop in Kunning Palace.
Su Jingyao stepped down from the imperial carriage and saluted Jun Zechen gracefully and elegantly.
She slowly said, "Your Majesty, since I entered the East Palace, I have never had the intention of destroying the relationship between you and Ling Yue. I only hope that I can have a clear conscience."
