"Time will tell you the answer, Ling Yue, I will keep you alive."
Su Jingyao's expression was indifferent, and her tone was calm without a trace of emotion.
Ling Yue's eyes were blank, is he still alive?
But she wanted to die now. Living was too painful for her...
There was a flash of determination in her eyes.
Ling Yue suddenly clenched her teeth and tried to bite her tongue to commit suicide.
Xilu, who was standing by, was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed forward and immediately stuffed a piece of white cloth into Ling Yue's mouth.
Su Jingyao slowly walked in front of Ling Yue. She stretched out a pair of slender but powerful hands and pinched Ling Yue's cheeks hard.
"I always keep my word. Since you made your choice, I will keep my word."
"For the rest of your life, you will pray for my princess and prince to be frightened in my belly. You cannot die unless I let you die."
After saying that, Su Jingyao exerted force on her hands suddenly, and Ling Yue's face tilted to one side. Her head was forced to tilt to one side, and the white cloth in her mouth fell off, revealing a painful expression on her face.
Su Jingyao turned around and was about to go back.
However, her body froze in an instant.
Ling Yue behind him laughed wildly.
"Aze, this is your simple and kind queen, hahaha."
The laughter echoed in the secret room, carrying endless mockery.
Jun Zechen stood at the door, his face as cold as ice, watching everything happening before his eyes without any expression.
His eyes were deep and cold, making it difficult to read his emotions.
Su Jingyao looked at him, and the moment she turned around, she was indeed startled by Jun Zechen's appearance, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.
But soon, she calmed down and regained her composure.
"Why is your majesty here?" she asked calmly.
Jun Zechen remained silent, his lips tightly closed, his eyes fixed on Su Jingyao, as if he wanted to see through her.
At this moment, he felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to start.
The crime committed by Ling Yue was a heinous crime punishable by extermination of all nine generations of his clan. Considering General Ling's loyalty, Jun Zechen sent an imperial edict to the frontier.
He told General Ling about the crime Ling Yue had committed and planned to have General Ling commit suicide to preserve his dignity.
However, the people sent by Jun Zechen discovered that General Ling's body and head were separated, and his head was missing.
Today, Anshun came to report that General Ling's head was brought into Kunning Palace.
Jun Zechen didn't believe it at first, so he hurried to Kunning Palace, but she was not there.
In order to protect her, Jun Zechen had always had people in both Kunning Palace and the former Zhaochun Palace, so Jun Zechen reached the secret room unhindered.
Under Jun Zechen's gaze, which was as cold as an ice knife, the palace servants in the secret room were silent and no one dared to make a sound.
So Jun Zechen listened to almost the entire process.
Seeing that he remained silent, Su Jingyao couldn't help but sigh helplessly in her heart. The sigh seemed to come from the depths of her soul, carrying with it a deep sense of fatigue.
"Your Majesty, my hands are dirty."
Su Jingyao raised her right hand, but there was no fear in her eyes, as if she didn't care about Jun Zechen's opinion at all.
The hand that had just pinched Ling Yue's face was stained with blood.
In the dim candlelight, the bloodstains looked particularly glaring, like strange flowers blooming in the darkness.
Jun Zechen looked at her as if nothing had happened, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
He always knew that she was calculating and scheming.
But I never thought that she could smile so calmly in such a situation.
Even without his knowledge, she sent people to kill General Ling and brought back his head.
Anshun had been following His Majesty. After arriving at the secret room and hearing what the Queen said, he did not think that the Queen had done anything wrong.
But he also knew that the Queen had always shown an image of generosity and kindness in front of His Majesty. How could His Majesty easily accept it when His Majesty suddenly discovered that she was actually a "man-eating plant"?
Anshun sighed inwardly, his body shaking uncontrollably.
The two masters should stop having a cold war. His old bones simply cannot stand such torture.
Jun Zechen looked into her innocent eyes.
Subconsciously, he said, "Anshun, fetch some water."
Jun Zechen's voice even had a barely perceptible tremor.
Anshun was also stunned for a moment because of His Majesty's reaction. His Majesty is not angry?
Then he immediately responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
But when Su Jingyao heard that he was going to get her some water, the smile on her face instantly widened.
Like a poppy flower blooming wildly, gorgeous but deadly.
She walked up to Jun Zechen, wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, and put her face on his chest without hesitation.
The bloody right hand rubbed Jun Zechen's back without any scruples.
When Anshun saw the queen's bold move, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe what he saw.
Is the Queen wiping her hands with her dragon robe?
Jun Zechen was stunned for a moment, then he put his hand tightly around her waist, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice with suppressed anger: "How dare you."
However, Su Jingyao looked up at him, her eyes not showing any sign of retreat, but rather full of provocation.
