Chapter 100 Misunderstanding
Another half month passed leisurely, and Jun Zechen sat at the desk, quietly looking at the secret report submitted by the people he sent.
The corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a determined smile. The Ye family would soon become his possession.
At this moment, suddenly, An Shun hurried in with a panicked look.
"Your Majesty! The Royal Concubine vomited blood and fell into a coma, and has not woken up yet!"
An Shun's voice was trembling, and he was extremely nervous. He didn't even dare to look at the emperor's expression at this moment.
Jun Zechen felt his heart suddenly sinking, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. "What happened!"
Jun Zechen, who usually keeps his emotions secret, now has a look of obvious anxiety and panic in his eyes, and his voice unconsciously rises.
"Miaoyun reported that the Royal Concubine knew that you sent troops to surround the Su family." An Shun continued cautiously.
Jun Zechen's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, and an indescribable fear suddenly surged in his heart. Yaoyao must have misunderstood.
He and the Su family were just setting up a trap to lure the Ye family into it.
"Didn't I ask you to keep it a secret from the Imperial Concubine?"
There was a hint of suppressed anger in Jun Zechen's voice, and veins bulged on his forehead.
She had been in a bad mood recently, and Jun Zechen originally didn't want the things happening in the court to cause her more trouble, but he didn't expect that An Shun hadn't even arranged such a small matter.
"The Imperial Concubine has been feeling depressed lately. She originally stayed in Zhaochun Palace every day. However, Zhaochun Palace is under the control of the servants and cannot receive any news from the imperial court."
"It's just that the Imperial Concubine went out to relax today, and she didn't expect to run into Concubine Ye..."
An Shun's voice became lower and lower, and his head lowered even lower.
I don’t know what Concubine Ye and the Imperial Concubine talked about!
Jun Zechen's eyes were instantly filled with coldness, and without saying anything else, he ran towards Zhaochun Palace like a gust of wind.
When he arrived at Zhaochun Palace, Imperial Physician Li had already taken the Imperial Concubine's pulse and was arranging for someone to go down and boil medicine.
"Your Majesty, your humble servant is here to pay his respects." Imperial Physician Li knelt down hurriedly to salute.
Jun Zechen didn't even look at him, his eyes fixed on Su Jingyao who was lying on the bed with a pale face.
The anger in my heart was rising, and at the same time I was heartbroken to the extreme.
"What happened to the Imperial Concubine? I asked you to take care of her body every day. Is this the result of your care?"
Jun Zechen had a gloomy expression, his brows were furrowed, his lips were tightly pursed, and he questioned in a deep voice, the sound seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Doctor Li was sweating profusely at this time, with beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down his forehead, and his voice was trembling.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is depressed every day. I have advised her many times not to worry too much."
"Otherwise, even if you drink more medicine, it will be useless. The reason why the queen fell into a coma today was because she was stimulated and angry."
Jun Zechen was completely confused. He really couldn't figure out what she was thinking about every day.
He walked to the bed and sat down, looking at Su Jingyao, who was as haggard and pale as paper, with a very complicated expression.
His big hand gently stroked her cold face.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, as if a lot of sorrow was gathered there.
It was because he hadn't paid enough attention to her recently that he didn't notice her abnormality.
Su Jingyao seemed to sense something vaguely, her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up at any time.
Finally, she opened her eyes, with a hint of confusion and chaos in them.
Then he saw Jun Zechen sitting next to him.
Her expression suddenly turned into fear, and like a frightened rabbit, her body suddenly shrank back, quickly moving away from him and curling up.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she forced herself to sit up on her knees, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I will not be jealous of your favor towards Concubine Ye, and I will definitely not harm her."
"Did I do something wrong? No matter what I did wrong, Your Majesty can punish me in any way you want. I will drink the medicine you prepared obediently. Please let Dad go."
Her voice was trembling, and her eyes were full of fear and terror towards Jun Zechen.
It was as if he had never thought that the person sleeping beside him would actually be a jackal, tiger or leopard, who had always wanted to suck the blood of the Su family.
Jun Zechen was extremely shocked for a moment, and the expression on his face could no longer be controlled.
I was full of doubts. What was she talking about?
"When did I say I would deal with the Su family?" Jun Zechen's voice rose a few notches, his face full of surprise and confusion.
Su Jingyao didn't expect Jun Zechen to lie to her now. She shook her head in despair, her eyes blank and empty.
"I know everything. I have also seen the letter you wrote to deal with the Su family. I will be obedient. If Your Majesty does not want me to get pregnant, I will drink any medicine. If Your Majesty wants to take back the power of the Su family, please spare the lives of the entire Su family."
Su Jingyao's sorrow seemed to be overflowing, and even her self-proclaimed attitude changed.
Jun Zechen listened to her heart-wrenching words, his eyes fixed on her appearance at that moment.
The heart-wrenching feeling was as if millions of ants were gnawing at his heart. It was hard to describe in words.
Her face was full of fear; she was afraid of him.
Jun Zechen wanted everyone to respect and fear him, but he just couldn't stand her looking at him with such frightened and terrified eyes.
The sadness in her eyes was almost overflowing, a sadness that went deep into her bones, a despair for him.
"Yaoyao, I have never..."
Jun Zechen was about to explain when a maid from Jingyang Palace hurried in with a happy look on her face.
"Your Majesty, I am here to see you. Your Majesty, I am a servant of Concubine Ye. The imperial physician just checked Concubine Ye's pulse and said that she is already two months pregnant."
The maid reported with great joy, her face filled with excitement.
After all, your Majesty has just ascended the throne and there are not many royal heirs yet. This baby of yours is extremely precious.
Jun Zechen clenched his back teeth tightly. At this moment, he didn't even dare to look at Su Jingyao.
The fierce eyes shot straight at the kneeling palace maid like a knife, "Get out! Drag her out and let her die. Who let him in?"
His voice was icy cold, without a trace of warmth.
The maid looked up in panic, her eyes full of disbelief, and she couldn't believe what she heard.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am only here to congratulate you on your orders. What have I done wrong? Your Majesty—"
The maidens cried out in panic.
Seeing that His Majesty was as cold as ice and his face was terribly gloomy at this moment, An Shun hurriedly stepped forward and quickly took the person away.
I secretly complained in my heart, what is going on today! It is really confusing.
Jun Zechen turned around little by little.
After Su Jingyao heard the report from the palace maid, there was not the slightest emotion on her face. Her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had lost all her luster. She looked dull, like a puppet without a soul.
Such a heart-breaking look made Jun Zechen feel extremely heartbroken.
He wanted to hold her in his arms, give her warmth and comfort, and tell her that she had misunderstood. How could he treat the Su family and hurt her?
But he was afraid that his actions would irritate her again.
"Yaoyao..."
