Has she been too kind to the women in the harem over the years?
Miaoyun naturally understood her master's thoughts. She nodded slightly, then hurried out.
Everyone in Kunning Palace was kept in the dark about the eldest prince's trip to Jincheng. Either the eldest prince did not go there at all, or His Majesty deliberately blocked the news.
If Miaoyun wanted to find out the truth of this matter, she had to ask people outside the palace.
When Miaoyun came back, Su Jingyao had already taken great pains to coax Jun Jiayue back to her own palace.
After all, she is only eight years old, with a simple mind, and she can quickly put her troubles behind her with a little coaxing.
But Su Jingyao was in a very heavy mood. She frowned and felt more and more uneasy. Maybe the news Ning An brought was correct!
"Master, the eldest prince was sent to Jincheng a month ago, and ten days ago, his correspondence with the capital was completely cut off."
Miaoyun's voice was trembling as she told her master the news with difficulty.
Because she knew too well how much the master valued the eldest prince. If the eldest prince had any accident, Miaoyun couldn't imagine how her master would be devastated.
Su Jingyao pursed her lips, which turned slightly pale, and clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves, trying her best to control her surging emotions.
"Go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity." Her voice was cold.
She had to know whether her son had really been missing for ten days or whether the father and son were setting up a trap.
Su Jingyao took a deep breath. She couldn't panic or lose her composure now.
However, before she could step out of the palace, Jun Zechen strode in.
Seeing that she was about to go out, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes full of surprise, "Yaoyao is going out?"
"I originally wanted to go to the Qianqing Palace to find His Majesty, but now that His Majesty is here, there's no need to go." Su Jingyao looked calm and spoke in a cold tone.
Jun Zechen felt comforted when he heard her say this, but he did not notice anything unusual about her. He took her hand and walked towards the warm room.
He teased, "Why do you want to go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to find me? Don't you like the big bed in the Palace of Earthly Tranquility?"
Su Jingyao had no mood to flirt with him at the moment, her brows were tightly furrowed.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen Xingxing for a month and I miss him. Call him now."
When Jun Zechen heard this, the smile on his face froze instantly and he became a little panicked for a moment.
"Now? Isn't it a little late? Xingxing has a lot of government affairs to learn and deal with recently. When he is free, I will naturally let him come to Kunning Palace to see you."
His eyes flickered as he spoke, and he didn't dare look directly at Su Jingyao.
"It doesn't matter. If he's not free, I can go see him. But I'm feeling uneasy today. I won't feel at ease if I don't see him."
Jun Zechen was silent for a moment, not knowing how to continue making up lies. He has never been good at making up lies.
"Yaoyao, Xingxing is fine...he..."
Su Jingyao had been quietly testing Jun Zechen ever since he came in, but his slightly panicked reply instantly ignited Su Jingyao's anger, and she couldn't control her temper at all.
"Xingxing went to Jincheng, didn't she?"
Su Jingyao suddenly interrupted Jun Zechen's words, anger flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Jun Zechen was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, oh no, how did she know?
His heart sank. Seeing her serious look, Jun Zechen knew he couldn't hide it anymore. He nodded helplessly, "Yeah."
"Has Xingxing really been missing for ten days?"
Su Jingyao's eyes widened, her voice trembled, and her face turned pale as paper in an instant.
Su Jingyao knew that becoming an emperor required going through many hardships, but she could not accept Xingxing going through such a life-and-death test.
She knew too well how dangerous the situation in Jincheng was now. Even though Xingxing had someone protecting her, accidents could happen at any time in a place where the epidemic was rampant.
What's more, now everyone is eyeing the eldest prince Xingxing with covetous eyes. If someone intends to murder him, Su Jingyao dare not even imagine the terrible consequences.
Xingxing is only ten years old!
Tears welled up in Su Jingyao's eyes, and her heart felt like it was being hit hard by a heavy hammer.
She has always been selfish. In her heart, even if Xingxing did not grow up to be as outstanding as she expected, she would still place the throne in front of Xingxing.
Xingxing was her first child, and she gave him most of her love without reservation.
However, this love is not purely selfless, but is mixed with her strong selfish desires.
Su Jingyao never asked Xingxing whether he wanted to be emperor. Since he was a child, she had subtly influenced Xingxing to accept the responsibilities imposed on him by her, the queen mother, and drove him to move forward firmly towards the supreme throne.
She made him study hard and did not let him have a happy childhood, but Xingxing never let her down as the queen mother.
So she not only has a deep love for Xingxing, but also feels guilty.
"Yaoyao, you have to trust Xingxing. He will handle everything. This is a test from me."
“Bang!”
A crisp slap suddenly echoed in the hall, and the sound seemed to be able to shatter people's hearts.
"If anything happens to Xingxing, I will never forgive you!"
Jun Zechen was stunned for a moment, as if he was frozen in place.
Anshun, who had been keeping his head down, just wanted to reduce all sense of existence at this moment. His heart was in his throat.
Oh my god, the Queen actually slapped His Majesty? ! !
When Jun Zechen reacted, he pursed his lips. This was probably the first time he was beaten in his life.
He pressed the tip of his tongue against the beaten cheek and stared at her with his dark eyes. She was becoming more and more lawless!
Su Jingyao didn't know if it was because she was so angry that her emotions were extremely unstable or for some other reason, but she suddenly felt extremely nauseous and wanted to vomit.
She couldn't hold it in for a moment, so she bent over, covered her mouth, and wanted to vomit, but nothing came out.
Jun Zechen didn't care about being angry at all, and suddenly panicked, "Yaoyao, what's wrong?"
Su Jingyao's legs went weak, her vision went dark, and she fainted.
Jun Zechen quickly reached out his hand, put his arm around her waist and lifted her up, "Go call the imperial physician!"
