Su Jingyao spoke very generously, but there was a hint of boasting in her tone.
Ling Yue could only hold the bracelet tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force, and she tried her best to suppress the hatred surging in her heart.
Why does Su Jingyao always compete with her for everything?
She is the Crown Princess, but Jun Zechen sends all the good things to Shuening Palace. Now even the people in the East Palace are talking about it in private.
Some people say that the Crown Princess has fallen out of favor, so she can only hold on to the pitiful power in her hands.
Ling Yue also knew that many fence-sitters in the Eastern Palace were trying every means to join the concubine, simply because Jun Zechen's favor was almost all poured into Shuining Palace!
Wait until other women enter the Eastern Palace and share Su Jingyao's favor, and see if she can still be so arrogant.
Seeing that Ling Yue's face was very gloomy, Su Jingyao suddenly pretended to look pitiful.
"Crown Princess, this bracelet has a different meaning. It has your Highness' words engraved on it. I like it very much. If you also like this bracelet, I can give you another bracelet in the storeroom."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand, hoping that Ling Yue would give her the bracelet.
Ling Yue felt disgusted when she saw Su Jingyao's pretentious look, and snorted in her heart, thinking, it's just a bracelet, who would care about it.
With a disdainful smile on his face, he said coldly: "Since the concubine likes it so much, keep it well."
"The golden silk bracelet with phoenix pattern on my hand can only be worn by my wife. You will never be able to wear it."
Ling Yue and Su Jingyao were standing very close to each other. Ling Yue was turning the bracelet on his left wrist with his right hand, his eyes full of contempt.
Then he placed the blue jade bracelet that he had been holding in his left hand into Su Jingyao's hand.
But Su Jingyao's hand suddenly shook, and the bracelet fell to the ground with a "snap". The crisp sound of shattering rang between the two of them, as if a huge rock was thrown into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.
Ling Yue's eyes widened instantly, her pupils contracted rapidly, and her heart skipped a beat as she looked at the shattered bracelet on the ground.
It was Su Jingyao herself who didn't hold it firmly!
Before Ling Yue could react, Su Jingyao's expression became dull, as if her soul had been taken away from her, and she slowly squatted down.
The slender little hands trembled as they picked up the broken pieces of the bracelet.
"Crown Princess, you don't like me, and you can ridicule me, but this bracelet was given to me by His Highness, how can you break it!"
Su Jingyao's voice was filled with tears and was miserable.
Suddenly, Su Jingyao cried out, "Ah."
Her hand was cut by the sharp bracelet fragments, and bright red blood quickly gushed out, flowing down her white fingers and dripping onto the ground.
Jun Zechen, who had just arrived, saw her squatting in front of Ling Yue from afar. Her small body was curled up into a ball, and she looked helpless, confused and aggrieved. His heart suddenly tightened when he saw her like that.
"Don't move!"
Jun Zechen roared, his voice filled with anxiety and anger.
It's already broken, why are you picking it up? Don't you know you've hurt your hands?
When Ling Yue heard Jun Zechen's voice, her body froze as if struck by lightning, and then she turned around mechanically.
Su Jingyao, she, she, she actually framed!
Ling Yue's mind went blank and he stood there in a daze.
Jun Zechen strode over with big strides. Su Jingyao had been squatting there. She raised her eyes when she heard his voice. Her eyes were full of grievance, and tears were welling up in her eyes. She looked at him pitifully.
"Your Highness, the bracelet is broken."
As she spoke, blood kept oozing from her fingertips, and she looked so pitiful.
Jun Zechen pursed his lips, his thin lips pressed tightly into a straight line, his face was terribly gloomy.
He bent down and helped the person up. Su Jingyao had been squatting for too long, and when she stood up suddenly, her legs felt weak and numb. She staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, Jun Zechen put his arms around her waist, and she was able to stand firmly.
"Why don't you go get some ointment to stop the bleeding?"
Jun Zechen frowned, turned around and shouted at Anshun.
Ling Yue stood opposite the two of them, staring at Su Jingyao as she pretended to be delicate and leaned in Jun Zechen's arms.
The feeling of resentment filled the air like a surging tide, as if it was going to devour Su Jingyao alive.
"Can the Crown Princess give me an explanation?"
Jun Zechen's face was as gloomy as water, and he looked at Ling Yue coldly. His eyes were like the water in a cold pond, icy and bone-chilling.
"It was the concubine who didn't hold it firmly."
Ling Yue explained hurriedly, her voice trembling slightly with anger.
While Ling Yue was speaking, Su Jingyao also spoke at the same time.
"Your Highness, it was my fault that I didn't hold the bracelet firmly. It has nothing to do with the Crown Princess."
Her voice was weak and powerless. As she spoke, she glanced at Ling Yue out of the corner of her eye. Her eyes seemed innocent, but in fact they were filled with pride.
The look in Ling Yue's eyes when he looked at Su Jingyao seemed to be able to spit fire, and he wished he could tear her into pieces on the spot.
Su Jingyao is a completely scheming woman!
"Why is the concubine's bracelet on your hand?"
Jun Zechen's eyes were sharp and he asked in a serious tone.
"I just thought the bracelet on Concubine's hand was pretty, so I took it to have a look. I would not break the bracelet on purpose."
Ling Yue herself felt that such an explanation was weak and feeble, but how could she defend herself at this moment?
It was obviously Su Jingyao who broke the bracelet on purpose, and she pretended to be pitiful in front of Jun Zechen to frame her, but she couldn't defend herself!
Jun Zechen knew very well that Ling Yue was jealous by nature. He originally thought that she had really changed in this life, but he didn't expect that even her disguise was so poor.
"This bracelet is made of jade that was mined over several years with a large amount of manpower in Nanzhou. It is priceless."
Jun Zechen looked indifferent and slowly explained the origin of the bracelet.
