She will be unhappy.
Jun Zechen sniffed her hair and fell into deep thought.
For the first time, he was so confused, not knowing how to explain or how to coax her.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the candle in the bedroom had burned halfway.
Jun Zechen was still hugging her tightly from behind, and they were obviously so close to each other at the moment.
But he felt that the distance between them was extremely far, as if there was a cold barrier between them.
He knew that she had not fallen asleep yet, the light and shadow on the wall clearly showed that her eyelashes were still trembling slightly.
It was almost the end of midnight, and in the extremely silent bedroom, Jun Zechen's low voice slowly sounded.
"Yaoyao still can't sleep?"
"Is it almost midnight?" Su Jingyao's voice sounded calm and distant.
"Um."
Jun Zechen responded softly, feeling a little surprised. He didn't expect her to speak.
Not angry anymore?
Su Jingyao slowly turned around and looked straight at Jun Zechen with eyes as calm as water.
"My birthday has passed. Your Majesty, please go to Yikun Palace. Your Majesty does not need to force yourself to accompany me."
Su Jingyao spoke expressionlessly, her tone unusually calm.
After hearing her words, Jun Zechen's expression instantly turned cold, as if covered with a layer of frost.
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
His voice was extremely cold, with a chill like ice chips, which seemed to be able to freeze people in an instant.
"I have always known that Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine are in perfect harmony. Yesterday was my birthday. I expected to have Your Majesty with me yesterday. It was my wishful thinking. I know I was wrong."
"Your Majesty does not have to come to Zhaochun Palace just because of your promise to me."
Su Jingyao's voice remained calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
"Since your majesty has come, I do not want you to be a person who does not keep your word. Now that my birthday is over, your majesty should return to Yikun Palace."
"I don't want Your Majesty to go against my will because of me."
She paused, then continued, "I will not have any expectations in the future. I overstepped my bounds yesterday. Your Majesty, please forgive me."
After saying that, Su Jingyao got up from the bed gently.
Jun Zechen frowned, her words were like a sharp blade, piercing straight into his heart.
It made him extremely heartbroken and angry.
Is that what she thinks of him?!
He was thinking about her all the time in Yikun Palace and couldn't wait to come to Zhaochun Palace to accompany her, not because of any so-called promise!
And what does it mean that she no longer has any expectations?
Jun Zechen was overwhelmed by her words, and his chest even began to heave violently.
His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and the air pressure around him was frighteningly low.
Su Jingyao took a coat from the hanger and slowly put it on. Then she leaned over slightly and performed a standard salute.
"Your Majesty, if you feel it is too late tonight and do not want to disturb the Imperial Concubine's rest by going to the Yikun Palace, then the bedroom will be left to you."
"I am in a bad mood today. I am afraid that I might offend you by mistake, so I will go to the side hall to sleep. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Jun Zechen to reply, and completely ignored his face which was getting darker and darker like the bottom of a pot.
Turned around and walked outside.
Jun Zechen's eyes instantly became extremely cold, like two rays of cold light, and he shouted coldly: "Come back! Did I ask you to leave?"
When Su Jingyao heard his words, she had to stop. After all, this man was the emperor.
Does anyone dare to disobey his orders?
Su Jingyao crossed her hands tightly in front of her body and clenched them so tightly that the joints turned white.
But she never looked back, and the two of them just stood there in a stalemate, with a tense atmosphere in the air.
Jun Zechen strode down from the bed with a gloomy face, and every step he took carried an imposing aura.
He walked quickly to her, then picked her up without saying anything, his movements a little roughly.
"Let me go!"
She couldn't resist Jun Zechen's strength, so he threw her back onto the soft bed.
He stood beside the bed, looking down at her coldly in a condescending manner, his eyes full of majesty and indifference.
"Yes, I was wrong today, but the imperial concubine was poisoned. I am indeed very worried about her. I am also afraid that someone in the harem is trying to murder her."
"I am afraid that the imperial concubine will be framed like the previous times and will be unable to fight back, so I am anxious to find out the truth today, which is why I did not accompany you out of the palace."
"It is indeed because of the Imperial Concubine that I am late tonight."
He paused, then continued, "She is my first wife, and you are my favorite. I never want to make either of you sad."
Originally, as an emperor, he didn't want to say these words, but even if he didn't say it, this is what this woman thought of him?
"Like? Your Majesty doesn't like me at all!"
Su Jingyao's voice suddenly became tearful and trembling, as if it contained endless grievances.
Jun Zechen has thoroughly experienced all kinds of "heartache" today.
When he first entered Zhaochun Palace, he saw her drinking alone and listened to her silent complaints. He knew that it was because of him that she couldn't sleep all night.
He felt as if his heart was being gnawed by millions of ants and he could hardly control himself.
After that, she treated him coldly, and he could only suppress his sadness and coax her patiently.
At this moment, she actually denied him and his love so confidently, which made him so angry and distressed that he almost suffocated.
"Haven't I been good enough to you? After I ascended the throne, I bestowed upon you a title, and named you Shufei. You are almost on par with Guifei."
