Chapter 103 Reconciliation
"Why?"
Why not?
Su Jingyao's fair and slender hands gently held Jun Zechen's face. Her eyes were as calm as water, and she just stared at him quietly.
Jun Zechen frowned, his face full of guilt, his voice was low and a little anxious.
"It's my fault this time. Yaoyao, can you please forgive me?"
"It was Concubine Ye who deliberately let Yaoyao know that I ordered Doctor Li to prevent pregnancy for you. It was also Concubine Ye who showed Yaoyao the letter I wrote to confuse the Ye family. It was Concubine Ye who was trying to sow discord between Yaoyao and me."
Jun Zechen said this while looking at Su Jingyao nervously.
"I only have Yaoyao in my heart. I will pretend that I didn't see the words on this paper today. Yaoyao, don't let Concubine Ye succeed in her conspiracy."
Jun Zechen hugged Su Jingyao, his eyes full of pity and pleading. He was afraid that she would really take back her heart that was as pure and precious as glass.
He couldn't accept this outcome.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Ye was wrong in that her motives were not pure, but she did not lie, and I dare not blame Your Majesty. As you said, the contraceptive pills were for my body, and the confinement of the Su family was to deal with the Ye family."
Su Jingyao's gaze never left Jun Zechen. There was a hint of sadness on her face, and her voice was soft but clear when she spoke.
"This time, Concubine Ye deliberately designed this. I have been depressed for several months. I feel repressed, miserable, and helpless."
"Last time, Your Majesty abandoned me on my birthday because of Concubine Ling. I drank to relieve my sorrow, but it only made me more sad. There have been many other times... I was very sad."
Speaking of this, a gleam of tears flashed in Su Jingyao's eyes. She lowered her head slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
"I shouldn't have such emotions. I am ignorant and don't understand that Your Majesty is the emperor first and my husband second."
Su Jingyao raised her head again, with a hint of relief in her eyes, and she took a deep breath.
"My heart is like a white cloud, always at ease, and my mind is like flowing water, letting everything go in the east and west. This is what I want."
"Your Majesty, please feel sorry for me. Can you please calm me down? I don't want to be trapped in these intertwined emotions and unable to extricate myself."
Su Jingyao and Jun Zechen looked at each other, their eyes full of sincerity, as if they could penetrate deep into one's soul.
She turned her head and looked at the rice paper that had been ravaged by the man.
"I have no other intention in writing this. If Your Majesty thinks highly of my abilities, I will be your imperial concubine and manage the trivial matters in the harem for you, so that Your Majesty will not be troubled by the intrigues in the harem." Her expression was calm and firm as she spoke.
Su Jingyao spoke slowly, word by word, and with every word, Jun Zechen's heart seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand.
Sinking little by little.
His expression became increasingly ugly, and his eyes were filled with pain and unwillingness.
He knew that she was always good at speaking and her mind was so clear, but he really didn't expect her to be so sharp. She left him speechless for a moment and he didn't know how to respond.
Jun Zechen didn't want to treat her with respect. He hoped that she could be as warm and intimate to him as before. But if he said what he was thinking at this moment, it seemed that he didn't care about her feelings.
And if he agreed to her words, would it mean that she would only be his imperial concubine and no longer his close lover?
Jun Zechen's eyes gradually showed a strong madness and were full of stubbornness.
"Yaoyao is my most beloved person, my wife, and the empress who will share the world with me through thick and thin."
His voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress the surging emotions in his heart.
"Ever since I met Yaoyao, I've been like a drug addict, addicted to you alone. But now Yaoyao is telling me that you want to change your mind?"
His eyes were filled with disbelief, "Then where should I put my uncontrollable heart?"
Su Jingyao's originally calm expression was instantly shattered after hearing Jun Zechen's affectionate words.
Her eyes trembled slightly and she closed her eyes involuntarily.
A line of clear tears slowly flowed down his cheeks, and the tears seemed to carry endless sorrow.
"But the person your majesty loved the most was Concubine Ling, the wife your majesty personally acknowledged was Concubine Ling, and the empress your majesty personally promised was also Concubine Ling!"
Her voice was trembling, full of despair and sorrow, "How can I trust Your Majesty?"
Her emotions were almost out of control. "I don't want to be like Concubine Ling and lose my original heart. I will be angry and jealous. I will want all the women who snatched your majesty away to disappear. Your majesty, tell me, what should I do?"
Every word Su Jingyao uttered seemed to be crying blood, and she screamed at the top of her lungs, as if to pierce Jun Zechen's heart.
"No, Yaoyao, I will make you the queen now. Yaoyao is my only queen, the wife I will grow old with. Your status is yours, and my heart is yours, too."
Jun Zechen looked at her aggrieved and sad expression, and felt inexplicably relieved.
It was much better for her to be so sad and angry at him than to be so indifferent just now.
At least by exposing her emotions like this, Jun Zechen could clearly see that she cared about him and loved him, which rekindled a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Su Jingyao vented her emotions uncontrollably for a while, then slowly lowered her head.
The thick eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings.
When she heard Jun Zechen's promise to make her the queen, a hint of pride flashed across her lowered eyes imperceptibly.
Then, as if she had finally let go of all her stubbornness and strength, she leaned over softly and rested her head on him.
The voice was gentle but carried a hint of determination that made people feel distressed.
"If Your Majesty doesn't like me anymore, please tell me. Even if it hurts, I will take it back and won't embarrass Your Majesty or make you worried."
When Jun Zechen heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Does Yaoyao mean that she forgives him?
Jun Zechen lowered his head and gently kissed the corners of her eyes which were filled with tears. His movements were extremely gentle and filled with deep affection.
"No, my whole heart is occupied by Yaoyao."
Having said that, Jun Zechen seemed to be unable to suppress his inner emotions any longer, and kissed the woman's sweet mouth fiercely.
His kiss was domineering and violent, as if he wanted to release all the fear and anxiety that had just arisen from the words of the woman in his arms.
It turned out that her not loving him would scare him so much...
The two of them kissed like this for a very long time, and Su Jingyao's snow-white face was as bright red as a blooming flower.
There were stains at the corners of her eyes, traces of the tears just now, as well as tears that overflowed again because of the man's fierce kiss.
Su Jingyao leaned on him, panting slightly, slowly calming down the rapid breathing caused by the passionate kiss.
Just at this moment, An Shun walked in with a look of despair on his face, his steps were a little heavy.
"Your servant pays homage to His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine."
Jun Zechen slowly raised his eyes, his eyes full of impatience, and fell straight on An Shun like a knife.
An Shun's body couldn't help but tremble. He spoke with difficulty, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ye is kneeling at the gate of Zhaochun Palace and begging to see you."
An Shun was also extremely helpless, and he really didn't want to ruin the atmosphere between His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine.
But Concubine Ye is almost four months pregnant. If anything goes wrong with the royal heir, perhaps His Majesty will not punish him, but the Queen Mother will definitely not let him go.
When Su Jingyao heard An Shun's report, her shy expression suddenly froze and she got off Jun Zechen's legs.
The voice was calm and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Ye is pregnant. Your Majesty, please go and see her."
"I feel a little sleepy, so I will go back to the bedroom to rest."
Jun Zechen glared at An Shun fiercely, his eyes full of majesty and anger.
He then quickly stood up, grabbed Su Jingyao's slender hand with his backhand, and then with a force, he easily lifted her up horizontally.
"Ye Guipin is very scheming. She plotted to murder the Imperial Concubine. She is disrespectful to her superiors. Since she wants to kneel in Zhaochun Palace, let her kneel well until the Imperial Concubine is happy."
After Jun Zechen said these words, he held Su Jingyao in his arms and walked steadily towards the bedroom.
Su Jingyao followed suit and put her arms around his neck, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Concubine Ye is pregnant. If Your Majesty treats her like this, the Queen Mother will be unhappy."
"She doesn't care that the crown prince kneels at the gate of Zhaochun Palace to threaten me. Could it be that the empress dowager will blame me?" There was a hint of disdain in her tone.
"And there are countless women who want to bear an heir for me. Concubine Ye is so ignorant that she dares to ask for an audience with me at this time. I will punish her if she is punished. Yaoyao, don't worry about it."
Jun Zechen's tone was full of indifference when he spoke, as if these women were nothing more than dispensable in his eyes.
It doesn't matter who gives birth to children, as the children born by these women in the harem will only serve as stepping stones and whetstones for the stars.
When Jun Zechen was a child, he tried his best to win the favor of his father, and when he became emperor himself, he gradually understood his father's thoughts.
He also won't give Xingxing the love of a father. Xingxing will eventually have to go through the hardships of becoming an emperor on his own, and his love will only make Xingxing lazy.
Jun Zechen carried Su Jingyao to the bedroom. He put her on the bed and then lay down beside her. He supported himself on the bed with one hand and gently took off her hairpin with the other hand.
Jun Zechen leaned close to her ear, and his warm breath sprayed on her skin.
"Yaoyao, I really missed you over the past month."
Su Jingyao shuddered slightly because of his hot breath. Where he couldn't see, her eyes moved and her expression was extremely charming and moving.
Now that he has obtained the position of Queen, he will be given some sweet treats today.
After all, the two of them had been in a cold war for more than a month.
Su Jingyao turned her head and looked at him, her eyes full of smiles, "What does your majesty think?"
Because of her provocative words, Jun Zechen whispered a few more words in her ear, his words full of ambiguity and tenderness.
Su Jingyao's face immediately showed a shy look, which made me feel really sorry for her.
It turned out that the man was too crazy, so he called the beautiful woman to lie on her side and get fire from across the mountain.
Su Jingyao glared at him shyly with her beautiful eyes, then obeyed him.
More than half an hour had passed, and the woman's sweet moans had not ceased. The hibiscus tent was warm, and the guests were not yet tired.
