It shouldn't be like this.
Jun Zechen's eyes became even deeper. He stepped forward firmly, stretched out his right hand, and lifted her chin without hesitation.
Su Jingyao had no choice but to raise her eyes and was forced to look him in the eye.
"Has Concubine Su forgotten your responsibilities? You are the concubine given to me by my father. How can you be qualified to say that you have nothing to do with me?"
Jun Zechen's voice was cold but majestic. He was the prince, so what even if he was wrong?
He can refuse anyone, but no one can refuse him, and no one dares to disobey him like this!
Jun Zechen's tall body leaned forward slightly, exuding an invisible sense of oppression.
Su Jingyao's eyes were full of confusion and grievance. She bit her lower lip lightly, and her slightly trembling body revealed her inner anger.
"Snap!" A crisp sound echoed in the air.
Su Jingyao resolutely opened the man's hand, and then quickly took a step back.
Jun Zechen's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, like the sky before a storm, cold and depressing.
"Concubine Su, do you know what it means to be disrespectful to one's superiors? Is this how the Su family raised you?"
Su Jingyao had endured his harsh scolding many times today, and finally, tears flowed out of her eyes like a flood.
"Your Highness, what exactly do you want me to do? On the first day I married into the East Palace, Your Highness set rules for me, asking me not to hinder the relationship between you and my sister. Haven't I done well enough?"
Her voice was choked with sobs, like a weeping nightingale, heartbreaking.
Tears slid down her pale cheeks like crystal pearls, dripping to the ground.
"How do you want me to fulfill my duties as a concubine? Ever since I entered the East Palace, Your Highness has repeatedly doubted and insulted me. I really don't know what I have done wrong."
She raised her voice slightly, with a hint of desperation in it.
Then, she murmured, "If Your Highness really doesn't like me, I would rather never appear in front of Your Highness for the rest of my life..."
Jun Zechen's heart trembled as he listened to the woman's questions.
He himself didn't know what he wanted. He was extremely reluctant to marry her and even didn't want to have any contact with her. But what about now?
Seeing the woman's heartbroken expression and resolute words, he didn't want to, didn't want to have nothing to do with her, didn't want to be a stranger to her.
Jun Zechen's lips trembled slightly. He wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
Then he sighed deeply, slowly reached out his hand, and gently wiped away the tears on the woman's cheeks.
"I was wrong today. I will never doubt you again. You did a great job. Everyone says that the daughter of the Su family is a model for young ladies from aristocratic families. I finally understand today that you are the only one who deserves this praise."
"I will try to buy you the medicine you gave me again."
After he finished speaking, Jun Zechen resolutely turned around and left.
After Jun Zechen's figure completely disappeared from her sight, Su Jingyao slowly raised her right hand, raised her green onion-like fingers, and gently wiped away the crystal tears that still remained in the corners of her eyes with her fingertips.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing an imperceptible smug smile. There was a hint of cunning and calculation in her smile, like a little fox whose trick had succeeded.
The prey eventually fell into the trap carefully set by the hunter.
Jun Zechen walked slowly towards the Qiluan Palace, his eyes always fixed ahead.
When he arrived outside the Qiluan Palace, Jun Zechen stopped, looked up and stared quietly at the plaque with three large characters "Qiluan Palace".
The plaque sparkled with golden light under the sunlight, but it could not dispel the haze in his heart.
Every time he came here, he always walked with brisk steps and a happy and relaxed smile on his face.
But today, his steps seemed to carry a thousand pounds, and every step seemed so difficult. He stood in place, his brows tightly furrowed, and his two thick eyebrows seemed to be twisted into a rope, revealing his inner depression.
After hesitating for a moment, Jun Zechen finally walked into the Qiluan Palace.
Ling Yue saw Jun Zechen approaching from afar, but found that he no longer had the cheerful smile he used to have.
When Jun Zechen approached, Ling Yue couldn't help but sneer, "Your Highness, did you have a good rest last night?"
There was a hint of sarcasm and dissatisfaction in her voice.
When Jun Zechen heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly, with a hint of helplessness between his brows.
"I didn't have any relationship with the concubine last night."
After hearing this, Ling Yue remained calm on the surface, but her heart was already surging.
She could never have imagined that Jun Zechen would still deceive her at this time.
Could it be that the words she heard last night were all her hallucinations?
Her husband pressed another woman who rejected him under him, and called her "Yaoyao" affectionately, claiming that Su Jingyao was his woman and had no right to reject him.
Ling Yue just felt that he was extremely ridiculous at this moment.
Tears gradually welled up in her eyes, and her heart was filled with grievance and pain.
She had a hot temper to begin with, and now she could no longer control her emotions, so she stood up abruptly.
The voice shouted sharply: "Is it you who doesn't want to have a relationship with her, or is it that she doesn't want to have a relationship with you? Your Highness, don't you know it?"
Jun Zechen's expression instantly turned gloomy. He stared at Ling Yue closely, the light in his eyes deep and complex.
"Yuer, do you know what you are talking about?"
Under his gaze, Ling Yue gradually lowered her head, her lips trembling slightly. She wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
The anger and pain in her heart intertwined, making her unable to calm down.
