Chapter 45: Thanks



Su Jingyao stretched out her slender white fingers and gently picked up the exquisite jar on the dressing table, which was filled with lip balm.

It was carefully prepared by Li Jing specifically for her.

She has two types of lip balms, one of which is added with ebony juice and has an extremely strong hallucinogenic effect.

The other one is made with datura flower juice, but its hallucinogenic effect is slightly inferior.

If she planned to keep Jun Zechen tonight, she would prepare to apply Wu Yuyu's lip balm.

The reason why drugs need to be used is naturally because Su Jingyao is almost certain.

Jun Zechen, feeling guilty, would definitely go to the Imperial Concubine's palace to comfort her.

And it is impossible for her to compete for favor openly. No matter how she plans, her personality cannot be ruined.

A little bit of lip balm with hallucinogenic effect made Jun Zechen unable to control himself and took the initiative to keep her. This was undoubtedly the best way.

Moreover, she was confident in her acting skills and naturally would not let Jun Zechen have any doubts.

But now, she had other ideas.

She wanted Jun Zechen to find Ling Yue.

Su Jingyao picked up the Mandragora lip balm and gently applied it on her lips.

She looked at herself in the mirror and saw how gorgeous she was.

"Miaoyun, ask Miaoyue to prepare a bowl of black chicken and ginseng soup for the body. Let's go to the Qianqing Palace to express our gratitude."

"Yes, Master."

At the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

"Your servant pays respect to Her Majesty Consort Chun Shu."

The servants at the gate of the Palace of Heavenly Purity lowered their heads, saluted respectfully, and their voices were slightly flattering.

Su Jingyao raised her eyes slightly, with an elegant smile on her lips.

"Get up. I specially prepared ginseng soup for Your Majesty today. I came here to express my gratitude. I wonder if Your Majesty is free at this time?"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression full of gentleness.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment. I will go in and report."

The servant responded quickly, then bent his body and walked quickly into the hall.

After Su Jingyao waited patiently for a while, the little eunuch came out in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty wants you to come in." The young eunuch had a flattering smile on his face.

After Su Jingyao walked in gracefully, she saw Eunuch Fuquan standing outside the palace door. He was the godson of Eunuch Dehai, the chief eunuch who served the late emperor.

Eunuch Dehai left the palace to retire after the late emperor was buried. Now the two senior eunuchs serving Your Majesty are Anshun and Fuquan.

When Fuquan saw Su Jingyao, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you. Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, still with that gentle smile on her face, as warm as the spring breeze.

Fuquan opened the door for her, and she led Miaoyun gracefully into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

At this time, Jun Zechen was sitting upright on the dragon throne.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Jun Zechen looked at her below. Today she was wearing an extremely gorgeous palace dress. The color of the dress was bright and eye-catching, and the style was also very unique.

This kind of dress was more beautiful and charming than anything he had seen before.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at her with interest.

"Get up, why are you here?"

Su Jingyao walked forward and gracefully took the ginseng soup from Miaoyun with her fair hands holding the bowl.

"Today I have come here to express my gratitude. I like the Zhaochun Palace that Your Majesty has gifted me."

"Besides, Your Majesty has been very busy these days. I don't know if your body can handle it. I asked Miaoyue to make a bowl of ginseng soup. Would Your Majesty like to try it?"

Su Jingyao slowly brought the bowl to Jun Zechen, her glass-like eyes gleaming with anticipation as she stared at Jun Zechen without blinking.

Jun Zechen put down the pen in his hand, reached out to take it, and took a sip.

As soon as he took a sip, Jun Zechen raised his eyebrows.

Miaoyue, who is beside her, is a really good cook.

Jun Zechen had long been tired of drinking ginseng soup, so Anshun would prepare ginseng soup for him almost every day.

If she hadn't brought it to him personally today, he wouldn't have drunk it at all.

After taking a few more sips, Jun Zechen put the bowl down.

Seeing this, Su Jingyao put the bowl on the plate in Miaoyun's hand and waved at her.

Miaoyun then retreated obediently, and Anshun also tactfully led the palace maids out of the hall.

Jun Zechen stretched out his hand and held the person on his lap.

I have been busy with state affairs these days and I haven't seen her for a long time.

"I promised you before that I would take you out of the palace after you finished your confinement, but I never expected that my father passed away and I was also very busy."

Jun Zechen's voice was low and slightly guilty, his brows were slightly furrowed, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"I have just ascended the throne and I have a lot of affairs to attend to. I may not have time in the short term. However, I remember that the third day of March is your birthday. How about I take you out of the palace then?"

As Jun Zechen spoke, he gently stroked Su Jingyao's back with a doting look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, my leaving the palace is a minor matter. Your government affairs are the major matter. If I affect your arrangements, I will feel guilty."

Su Jingyao snuggled obediently in Jun Zechen's arms, and her words were very sensible, with a soft and gentle voice.

"But Your Majesty has always remembered your promise to me, and also remembered my birthday. I am very happy."

After saying this, Su Jingyao rubbed the man's neck affectionately.

After the two of them hugged each other tenderly for a while, a trace of confusion gradually appeared on Su Jingyao's face.

She bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, as if hesitating whether to speak.

Jun Zechen noticed her strangeness and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
