she......
Jun Zechen put all the secret letters back, slowly stood up and walked out of Yude Hall.
After carefully disguising everything in the Yude Hall to be what she wanted, Su Jingyao almost "fled" under the gaze of the palace maids.
She walked hurriedly, her skirt flying, and she returned to Shuening Palace in a panic, as if something terrible was chasing her.
Su Jingyao would not be so foolish as to stand in the Yude Hall, impulsively pointing at the pile of secret letters and questioning a former emperor desperately.
Was she going to ask him, "Is your love for me fake?"
"Is your favor just a smokescreen to confuse the Su family?"
Or "Are you really going to deal with the Su family? Are you going to destroy the Su family?"
......
Different positions lead to different actions, and these "whys" are meaningless.
Besides, no matter what she asked, it would be beyond the rules for an emperor without love, not to mention that it was a taboo for women in the harem to touch upon state affairs. Su Jingyao would not be so stupid as to put herself in such a passive and disadvantageous position.
She just "accidentally" discovered the secret letter.
If Jun Zechen didn't care about her and was just using her, then he would either kill her or pretend he didn't know.
If Jun Zechen cared about her, he would definitely come and ask clearly, and "force" her to speak out what was in her mind instead of her asking proactively.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Su Jingyao, who was sitting on the couch thinking, had a serious expression on her face. Her delicate face, which she had carefully applied some powder upon coming back, now looked a little pale and bloodless.
Her brows were furrowed, her eyes seemed filled with deep worry and uneasiness, and her lips were tightly pursed.
Build up your emotions first.
Jun Zechen should be here soon.
"Master, His Highness will be here soon."
Miaoyun reported that she didn't know what happened to her master in Yude Hall.
Su Jingyao chuckled, but there was no trace of joy in her laughter.
"Let's go out and welcome His Highness."
She seldom waited for Jun Zechen to come outside the palace, but today she naturally had to follow the rules in front of him.
She slowly stood up, straightened her clothes and hair, straightened her back and walked out.
Before Jun Zechen arrived at Shuening Palace, he saw a graceful girl standing outside the palace from afar, with her head slightly lowered, quietly waiting for him.
The figure looked a little thin and lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Today is the rule.
Jun Zechen's eyes darkened instantly.
He quickened his pace and walked over with big strides, bringing up a breeze.
"I pay my respects to His Highness."
Su Jingyao tried hard to keep her voice calm, but the slightly trembling ending of her voice seemed unable to completely hide the turmoil in her heart no matter how she disguised herself.
Jun Zechen helped her up and was about to take her hand to lead them into the hall, but Su Jingyao shrank back reflexively. Then, as if she realized something, she took the initiative to put her hand in Jun Zechen's.
Jun Zechen glanced at her sideways and didn't say anything about her abnormal behavior.
Inside the hall, the two sat opposite each other. Su Jingyao lowered her head with her hands folded, looking very polite and seemed a little uneasy.
Miaoyun poured the tea swiftly and then retreated quietly with everyone else.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
Su Jingyao raised her eyes cautiously, raised the corners of her mouth, and tried hard to force a smile, but the smile seemed forced.
"Your Highness, would you like some tea?"
Jun Zechen looked at her quietly, pretending to know nothing. Did she know that her smile was ugly now?
For the first time, I felt confused and wondered what the woman in front of me was thinking.
After seeing the secret letter that showed that the family was being targeted by him, shouldn't we question him or even beg him not to do this?
"Didn't I ask you to wait for me for dinner?"
Jun Zechen's voice was low and no emotion could be heard, and he seemed to be testing her.
"I am not feeling well and I am afraid I can't eat anything. I don't want Your Highness to see me and affect my appetite, so I went back to Shuining Palace."
Su Jingyao's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Your Highness has not eaten yet. I will ask the palace maids to bring your meal."
Jun Zechen looked at her and felt that she was completely different from the bright and outspoken her in the afternoon, and he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Her eyes were always bright when she spoke before, but now they were a little dim, and the smiling expression at the corners of her eyes disappeared. Instead, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her eyes deliberately avoided him.
Jun Zechen's ring turned on his slender finger.
"No, I'm not hungry."
His tone was cold, and then he asked casually, "Did you water the orchids in the Solitary Bedroom today?"
When mentioning Huilan, Su Jingyao's body shook uncontrollably.
"I saw that the cymbidium was blooming beautifully, so I dipped some water to moisten it." Her voice trembled slightly.
Jun Zechen lowered his eyes, his deep gaze falling directly on the top of her head.
"Did you see the letter inside?"
"without......"
Su Jingyao subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when she looked up in an instant she saw the man's eyes as deep as the sea, as if he could see through everything.
Everything about her was exposed to him.
Su Jingyao's voice stopped abruptly.
She lowered her head and bit her lower lip lightly, her pearly teeth leaving a faint mark on her pink lips.
No more words were spoken, and the hall fell into dead silence.
