Qiluan Palace.
"Master, His Highness is back. Someone is here to report that His Highness is on his way to Qiluan Palace."
Meixiang stood aside and reported to Ling Yue in a low voice.
When Ling Yue heard this, her body trembled slightly and a sad expression appeared on her face.
"Mei Xiang, I don't know how to face His Highness anymore."
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with tears. After returning to the East Palace this morning, her tears began to flow intermittently like beads from a broken string.
Whenever she thought of how intimate Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao were last night, her heart ached as if it were being stabbed by a knife.
Meixiang saw this and hurried forward to comfort him, "Master, you must be strong and never conflict with His Highness again. If you continue to argue with His Highness, won't that push His Highness further and further towards Concubine Su?"
Ling Yue bit her lip and frowned slightly.
"Mei Xiang, you are right. Aze still loves me. He must have come to explain to me what happened last night. I can't be angry with him anymore."
Ling Yue gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with all her might.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived——"
The eunuch outside the palace saw the prince's figure from afar and immediately shouted loudly.
Jun Zechen walked into the hall with slightly heavy steps. At this moment, his heart was full of confusion and he didn't know how to face Ling Yue.
But some things have to be resolved and made clear.
Ling Yue looked up and saw Jun Zechen walking slowly towards her. She took a deep breath, stood up and walked forward.
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you." Her voice trembled slightly and her posture looked a little weak.
Jun Zechen looked at Ling Yue in front of him, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.
In fact, he had long ago exempted Ling Yue from private greetings and allowed her to call him by more intimate names in private. He was a little uncomfortable with her politeness today.
But he didn't say much. Jun Zechen now understood that some things should not be promised easily.
"Get up." His voice was as calm as water, without any emotion.
Ling Yue stood up and looked at him aggrievedly with red eyes. Jun Zechen sighed in his heart and gently embraced her in his arms.
Because of his gentle gesture, Ling Yue could no longer hold back her tears, which burst out like a flood.
"Woo woo, Aze, I thought you didn't like me anymore."
Her voice was filled with deep grievance and resentment, and her shoulders kept shaking.
Jun Zechen didn't say anything, but slowly stretched out his big hand and gently stroked her soft hair. His movements were extremely gentle, as if he was comforting a wounded little animal.
There was tenderness and love in his eyes, but also some complicated emotions. His dark pupils were as deep as a dark pool, making them hard to fathom.
Ling Yue cried for a long time, until her tears gradually stopped, and Jun Zechen finally spoke.
"Last night, the concubine accidentally drank the scented tea from Mofeng Tower that was spiked with ingredients, so I just drank it with her..."
Having said that, his voice paused slightly, and an imperceptible complex expression flashed across his brows.
What Jun Zechen didn't say was that the more important reason was that he himself couldn't control himself. In the ambiguous atmosphere last night, he couldn't resist Su Jingyao's temptation and even enjoyed it.
After hearing his explanation, Ling Yue felt a little relieved.
As long as Jun Zechen didn't deliberately violate the agreement between them, she could accept it.
However, she knew clearly in her heart that Jun Zechen had been attracted to Su Jingyao!
"Aze, as long as you have me in your heart, I don't care how many women you have. You will be the emperor of the country in the future, and the ministers will not allow their emperor to have few heirs."
There was a hint of helplessness and compromise in Ling Yue's voice, and her eyes were full of determination and persistence.
"I... I don't know why I haven't had any children yet, but as long as it's Aze's child, I'll love him very much. I just hope that I can grow old with Aze, and live and die together."
Her words revealed deep sorrow and expectation.
When Jun Zechen heard Ling Yue's words of enduring in silence, guilt suddenly surged in his heart.
He originally thought that he understood her well enough, but he never imagined that she would become so submissive for him.
He felt sorry for Ling Yue, who had become more mature after being in the harem, but he was powerless and could only hug her tightly and comfort her.
Only at this moment did Jun Zechen realize his selfishness.
He couldn't make a choice between Ling Yue and Su Jingyao. He was greedy for Ling Yue's affection, but couldn't resist Su Jingyao's temptation.
"Okay, Yue'er will always be my wife."
Jun Zechen's voice was deep and magnetic, as if it carried a kind of magic that rekindled a glimmer of hope in Ling Yue's broken heart.
When Ling Yue got his response, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on her face. She raised her face and embedded herself tightly in the man's arms, greedily absorbing the warmth and sense of security from him.
Xiyan Palace.
After Su Jingyao came back, she leisurely stepped into the bathtub filled with flower petals, and the warm water soothed her fatigue.
She soaked in the hot spring for a long time before slowly getting up and letting Miaoyun and the others gently wipe her skin with a soft towel.
Afterwards, she asked Miaoyun and the others to perform a complete set of meticulous full-body skin care and massage for her. Their techniques were skillful and gentle. Su Jingyao felt that the fatigue from being tormented by the bastard last night had dissipated a lot, and every inch of her skin was enjoying this care.
After everything was done, Su Jingyao lay limply on the beauty couch, like a lazy flower after blooming.
Her hair was slightly wet and scattered casually on the couch, adding a bit of charm.
