Ever since the news of Su Jingyao's pregnancy spread throughout the palace, even the sick emperor has shown special care for her, and words of concern and care can be heard from time to time.
Not to mention the Queen Mother, who even carefully selected a nanny who was proficient in taking care of pregnant women and sent her to take good care of her.
Protecting Su Jingyao from all directions was like building an indestructible wall.
After all, in the eyes of the Queen, Concubine Shu and Prince Duan are still harboring evil intentions. They have been trying to use the excuse that the Crown Prince has no heir to win over those court officials who are not firm in their stance, in an attempt to prevent the Crown Prince from ascending the throne.
Now that the concubine is pregnant, even though the queen can't stand her previous arrogance in being favored by the prince and monopolizing the prince's favor, for the sake of her beloved grandson, the queen can temporarily suppress her dissatisfaction in her heart and choose to accept it.
As long as her grandson could be born safely, everything else was just trivial.
During her pregnancy, Su Jingyao was very relaxed and comfortable.
There is no need to make any special effort to please Jun Zechen. All you need to do every day is to talk sweetly to him and tell him to do this and that.
She was relaxed and comfortable, and Jun Zechen was also very happy. It was so nice to get along like this.
However, Jun Zechen did not disobey the Queen's request again and began to favor other women in the backyard as arranged.
But no one knew what Jun Zechen was thinking. He specifically ordered that no concubine in the East Palace should disturb Su Jingyao, and even expressly prohibited anyone from leaking the news of who he favored to Shuening Palace.
Su Jingyao sneered, trying to cover her ears and steal the bell.
Since he didn't want her to know, she would just pretend not to know.
I take care of my baby leisurely every day and live a life as comfortable as a god.
Time flies by, and as time goes by, the health of the current emperor is getting worse and worse, like a candle in the wind, ready to fall.
Jun Zechen knew clearly that the day of his father's death was not far away, and it was time to deal with Ling Yue once and for all.
According to the calculation of time, Su Jingyao would most likely give birth after he ascended the throne, and when he ascended the throne, there was no way he would let Ling Yue be the queen.
For Jun Zechen, there are many reasons why Ling Yue should not become the queen, but he feels that Ling Yue is not simple. Maybe she was reborn like him. Jun Zechen naturally wants to clarify the doubts in his heart.
Qiluan Palace.
When Ling Yue saw Jun Zechen coming, an expression of surprise instantly spread across her face.
But she quickly collected her expression, pretended to be calm, and went out to greet him.
Jun Zechen hasn't been to Qiluan Palace for a long time. What's the matter with you coming here today?
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Jun Zechen shouted "Stand up" expressionlessly, then walked into the hall of Qiluan Palace without looking around, and then sat in the first seat with his horse and sword in his arms.
"Everyone, please stand down."
Jun Zechen's voice was majestic and completely emotionless.
Ling Yue, who was standing in the middle of the hall and was about to speak, felt inexplicably nervous about Jun Zechen's unexpected behavior.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a bad premonition hung over her heart like a haze.
After all the palace servants left as instructed, Anshun was the last one to leave. He closed the door of the hall and stood guard at the door.
Ling Yue's nervousness instantly reached its peak, and her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her throat.
"Your Highness, do you have something to tell me?"
There was a subtle hint of panic in her voice.
"Please sit down, Princess."
Jun Zechen looked indifferent and gestured casually to Ling Yue.
Ling Yue sat down below Jun Zechen somewhat nervously, her posture stiff and her body tense.
After Ling Yue sat down, Jun Zechen's dark and deep eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, locking onto her firmly.
Without hesitation, he said, "I know you are reborn."
Jun Zechen's voice exploded in Ling Yue's mind. Her expression instantly went out of control. She looked at him blankly, her lips slightly parted, her mind blank, not knowing how to react.
Jun Zechen knew that she was reborn because he was also reborn, right?
When Ling Yue thought of this possibility, her folded hands in front of her unconsciously clasped each other tightly.
But she quickly took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"I don't know what your Highness is talking about."
Ling Yue bit her lip, trying to make her voice sound calm.
"Since you don't admit it, I will just speak my mind directly."
Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was resolute and his voice was cold.
"I can't make you the queen. If you are willing to leave the palace, I can arrange everything for you and set you free."
His face was expressionless, and his words were like a merciless cold wind, blowing straight towards Ling Yue.
Jun Zechen said so confidently that she could not be made queen, and Ling Yue felt as if all her strength was drained away. Her forced calmness instantly collapsed, and she could no longer hold back her expression, and she was on the verge of collapse.
"Why! What did I do wrong?"
She was hysterical, her voice was desperate and unwilling, tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
"Ling Yue, with your family background, becoming the Crown Princess was a decision I made when I was young and frivolous. You have no children and no family background. Without my support, how could you ascend to the position of Queen?"
Jun Zechen frowned, his face full of annoyance, and his eyes were filled with disdain and impatience.
"You shouldn't ask what you did wrong, you should ask why I must ensure that you ascend to the throne."
Ling Yue has never looked for reasons in herself. Her heart is high and setting her free is the best ending Jun Zechen can give her.
"Oh, why do you have to speak so pompously, Prince? You want the concubine to ascend to the position of queen, right?"
