"Tell me, what happened today?"
Jun Zechen's voice was low and majestic, as if carrying a heavy weight.
Upon hearing the voice, An Jinyan knelt down on her knees, but her back remained straight. Then she began to cry and complain.
"Your Highness, I really don't know how I have offended the Crown Princess. She slapped me for no reason and pushed me into the lotus pond. Woo woo..."
Her tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, and her look was so pitiful.
"Don't spit bloody words at me, An Liang Di. If you hadn't been disrespectful to me, I wouldn't have hit you."
There was a chill in Ling Yue's voice, and her eyes were as cold as a knife, shooting straight at An Jinyan.
Then, she turned to Jun Zechen and said, "Your Highness, it was because An Liangdi spoke wildly that I beat her. And I did not push her into the lotus pond. She pushed me and fell into the lotus pond by accident, and then she pushed me back."
"What did she say?"
Jun Zechen's voice became colder and colder. His eyes glanced back and forth between Ling Yue and An Jinyan, but he did not directly believe the words of either one.
Hearing Jun Zechen's question, Ling Yue's heart tightened. She pursed her lips and a look of pain appeared on her face.
At that time, she was the only one who heard what An Liangdi whispered in her ear. An Liangdi mocked her by saying that she was infertile.
How could she say such difficult words in front of everyone?
At this moment, she felt as if her whole body was enveloped by a chill, which was the feeling brought to her by Jun Zechen's coldness.
She even wondered if Aze didn't believe her...
When An Liangdi saw that the Crown Princess remained silent, she immediately raised her voice.
"Your Highness, I have always been respectful to the Crown Princess. When we had a conflict today, I just casually said that Your Highness stayed in Xiyun Palace last night, and the Crown Princess treated me like this without any reason. I am really wronged, wuwu..."
As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her handkerchief.
However, there was a subtle glimpse of pride and calculation in his lowered eyes.
When Jun Zechen heard this, his eyes darkened and he pondered in his heart.
Ling Yue was indeed capable of doing things like hitting people out of jealousy, but he didn't expect Ling Yue to become so presumptuous now.
In public, she did not have the composure and dignity that a princess should have.
There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but more of disappointment.
Jun Zechen stared at Ling Yue with cold eyes. Ling Yue met his gaze, her eyes full of sadness and despair.
Her lips trembled slightly, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.
Finally, she said stubbornly: "I don't have it!"
There was a hint of reluctance and grievance in her voice.
Jun Zechen sometimes doesn't know how to deal with Ling Yue. He wants Ling Yue to be more sensible, but her ignorance is caused by his previous indulgence and pampering of her.
Jun Zechen turned the ring on his hand, and there was an unfathomable dark vortex in his lowered eyes.
Before he could figure out how to deal with the matter, Aunt Jinhua, who was beside the queen, walked over with steady steps.
"Your servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Aunt Jinhua bowed slightly and saluted.
"Get up." Jun Zechen's voice was low and majestic.
"Your Highness, the Queen heard that the concubine was pregnant, so she specially ordered me to come and visit, and brought the Queen's oral instructions. Your Highness, please listen to her orders." Aunt Jinhua's voice was clear and loud.
When Ling Yue heard this, his heart tightened and he knelt down quickly.
Her body was trembling slightly, and her heart was filled with anxiety and fear.
Aunt Jinhua cleared her throat and read out the order:
"The Crown Princess has a bad character and is jealous by nature. She even beat up the concubine in the East Palace and affected the heir to the throne. Such behavior is truly intolerable.
The Crown Princess was ordered to be confined to her room for two months from now on. During this period, she was required to copy the palace rules a hundred times as a warning to others.
I hope he can reflect on himself and repent, cultivate his character and abide by his duties in the future."
Every word Aunt Jinhua spoke hit Ling Yue's heart like a heavy hammer.
"Your Highness, I, your concubine..."
Ling Yue raised her head and looked at Jun Zechen, her eyes full of pleading and expectation.
How she hoped that Jun Zechen would plead for her and believe that she was innocent.
But Jun Zechen didn't know how to deal with Ling Yue, although he knew that the problem between Ling Yue and An Jinyan was not necessarily all Ling Yue's fault.
However, as his legitimate wife, she must have the bearing and manners of a legitimate wife. She was jealous by nature and beat concubines. If the Queen Mother investigated deeply, she would have sufficient reasons to be deposed as the Crown Princess.
Jun Zechen interrupted her and said in a cold voice: "Anshun, take the Crown Princess back to Qiluan Palace."
"An Liang Di was frightened today, but she committed insubordination and offended the Crown Princess. She will be confined for a month."
"Your Highness...I..."
An Liangdi originally wanted to defend herself, but when she saw the prince's cold and handsome face, the words came to her lips but she couldn't say them.
Then she responded, turned around and left Xiyan Palace.
Although she was under house arrest for a month, An Jinyan believed that this was just the Crown Prince's way of protecting the Crown Princess's face.
One month after the ban was lifted, the Crown Princess was still under house arrest. Now Concubine Su is pregnant. By then, no one in the Crown Prince's backyard will be her rival. She will firmly grasp His Highness' heart.
An Jinyan had a smug smile on her face.
Ling Yue didn't expect Jun Zechen to treat her like this. She left Xiyan Palace in a daze.
His footsteps were heavy and slow, as if every step exhausted all his strength.
An Jinyan followed him out. She took a few quick steps and caught up with Ling Yue with a smug smile on her face and her eyes full of provocation and sarcasm.
"Sister Crown Princess, it's really God's blessing that your face is fine today. Oh no, you should thank Concubine Su who saved you even though she was pregnant with the royal heir."
Ling Yue glared at her fiercely, his eyes full of anger and hatred.
"An Liang Di is really scheming, I will not let you go!"
There was a hint of gritted teeth in her voice.
The two of them spoke in low voices, and their repressed tone was filled with coldness and hatred.
An Jinyan sneered and turned away.
Her steps were light and cheerful, as if she was celebrating her victory.
Ling Yue walked towards his palace, looking ahead with empty eyes, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.
Her husband doesn't believe her...
