Chapter 104 Humble Concubine Ye
Su Jingyao, who was exhausted from the torture, pressed her pretty face against the man's strong chest, and her jade-like hands gently stroked the man's well-defined and powerful abdominal muscles.
She loves sitting on his abs the most...
"Your Majesty, you hurried to Sochun Palace after the morning court session today. It will be lunch time soon. Your Majesty, don't you have to deal with state affairs today?"
There was a hint of lazy contentment in Su Jingyao's soft voice, and her eyes were full of charm.
Jun Zechen caressed her ink-black hair lovingly, his fingers running through it.
"My biggest concern recently was dealing with the Ye family. Today, the matter has been settled, so it won't be a big deal to put the other memorials aside for a while."
"Then your majesty, do you know what I have been busy with recently?"
Su Jingyao raised her head slightly, with a testing look in her eyes.
"Yaoyao has not seen me for more than a month, and I can only tell Doctor Li to let Yaoyao have a good rest. But Yaoyao is not obedient and often summons female officials to discuss palace affairs."
As Jun Zechen spoke, there was a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, as if he was blaming her for not caring about her body.
"Your Majesty's birthday is in half a month. I have recently been discussing the arrangements for His Majesty's birthday banquet with the two eunuchs from the Shangyi Bureau."
"This is your Majesty's first birthday since you ascended the throne, so it is naturally extremely important."
Su Jingyao spoke with a smile, and her serious look was particularly touching.
After hearing this, Jun Zechen's heart trembled suddenly, and then he turned over and pressed her under him, his eyes full of affection and pity, "Why is Yaoyao so nice?"
Their eyes met, and for a moment there seemed to be a burning flame about to burn.
Su Jingyao quickly looked away shyly and stretched out her little hand to push his broad shoulders away.
"Your Majesty is very sick." Her voice was coquettish but also cute.
Afterwards, Su Jingyao didn't want to continue lying like this with him, so she slowly sat up from the bed, put on her dress gracefully, and stood up.
After Jun Zechen was pushed away by her, he lazily sat on the head of the bed, watching her every move with affectionate and deep eyes, as if he could never look enough, his eyes were full of nostalgia.
After Su Jingyao tidied herself, she turned to Jun Zechen and said softly, "Your Majesty, I almost forgot that Concubine Ye was still kneeling outside while we were having such a fuss."
"Although I don't like Concubine Ye, she is still pregnant with the heir. I will go out and say a few words to her and let her go back."
There was a hint of worry in her tone.
Jun Zechen frowned. He didn't want her to care about Concubine Ye. If Concubine Ye hurt the royal heir because of this, then she would bear the consequences herself.
But Yaoyao is so kind that if Concubine Ye’s child died at her palace gate, she would probably be sad and guilty.
Jun Zechen then nodded and said, "Be careful, don't let her hurt you. I don't want to see her, so I'll wait for Yaoyao to have lunch together in the house."
Su Jingyao nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible thoughtfulness in her eyes.
Then he walked out of the palace.
At the gate of Zhaochun Palace, Concubine Ye's belly was already slightly visible, and she just knelt straight on the ground.
Calculating the time, it's probably been almost an hour.
Concubine Ye had kept her head down, and when she felt a figure approaching, she was sure that it was His Majesty coming out, so she quickly raised her head.
A hint of joy flashed across his eyes, and he blurted out: "Your Majesty..."
However, just after he called out and looked clearly at who was coming, he discovered that the person standing in front of him was actually the Imperial Consort.
At this time, Concubine Ye no longer had the arrogant look she had in the past. Her face was haggard and her expression was somewhat pleading.
"My dear consort, please, please let me see His Majesty."
Su Jingyao walked slowly to the front of Ye Guipin, lowered her head slightly, and had the same innocent expression as always on her face.
"What did Concubine Ye want to see Your Majesty for?"
"Your Majesty, the Ye family has definitely been wronged. Please allow me to see Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to let the Ye family go. I beg you, Your Majesty."
Ye Guipin looked at Su Jingyao's kind smile as usual, and at this moment, as if possessed by a ghost, she placed all her hopes on her.
Because she had no other choice.
She was pregnant, but His Majesty did not even come to see her and made her kneel here for more than half an hour.
"Didn't Concubine Ye say that His Majesty wanted to punish the Su family? How come it has become the Ye family now?"
Su Jingyao slowly bent down, moved close to Ye Guipin's ear, and asked softly.
Concubine Ye's pupils instantly dilated in shock. The Imperial Concubine knew everything?!
She knew that His Majesty and the Su family had set up a trap, and perhaps she also knew that His Majesty had given her birth control pills. If she knew all this, why did she continue to argue with His Majesty for so long? !
Concubine Ye turned her head slightly and looked into the eyes of the Imperial Concubine. Looking at her pure eyes and kind smile, she felt as if a devil was whispering in her ear, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and her whole body was cold.
Ye Guipin widened her eyes and stared at Su Jingyao.
"I have always thought that I was the one behind the scenes, but I never expected that the real driving force was the Imperial Concubine, haha."
Concubine Ye smiled self-deprecatingly, as if she was laughing at her own arrogance, mocking her own self-righteous methods which were nothing but falling into the careful planning of the Imperial Concubine.
"My dear consort Ye, I didn't do anything. Aren't you the one who schemed against me?"
Su Jingyao lifted Ye Guipin's chin.
"And I never show mercy to my enemies. Since you dared to plot against me, even if you are pregnant, it doesn't matter. I want you to die, and you will not survive."
"But I am not as ruthless as Concubine Ye. I sincerely hope that Concubine Ye can give birth to an heir safely."
Su Jingyao whispered in her ear with a faint smile in her words.
Afterwards, she ignored the shocked and terrified look in Concubine Ye's eyes, stood up, and continued, "Concubine Ye, you'd better get up and go back. His Majesty will not see you today. If you kneel down again, the only life-saving talisman in your belly will be in danger."
Having said that, Su Jingyao didn't look at her any more, turned around and walked into Zhaochun Palace.
"My Imperial Concubine, you are so evil..."
Ye Guipin had just started to speak, before she could finish saying the word "poison", the young eunuch from Zhaochun Palace next to her rushed over and covered Ye Guipin's mouth tightly.
"Noble Concubine Ye, the Imperial Concubine is kind and considerate of you carrying the heir to the throne, so she allows you to get up and return to the palace. But please do not say anything outrageous to disturb His Majesty. If you upset the Imperial Concubine, the Ye family will not just be exiled. You yourself..."
The young eunuch stopped talking here, and just stared at Ye Guipin with an extremely vicious look, which made Ye Guipin terrified inside.
She knew very well in her heart that if she really made the Imperial Concubine unhappy, His Majesty would definitely kill her without hesitation even if she was pregnant.
At this time, Xiang Ling's face was full of fear. She hurried forward and pushed the little eunuch away with force.
Then, with trembling hands, he carefully helped his dazed master up.
Concubine Ye knelt for quite some time. After she stood up, she was a little shaky, with almost all of her weight falling on Xiang Ling.
Xiang Ling used all her strength to help her onto the sedan chair, and then headed towards Jingyang Palace.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Concubine Ye felt that her heart had sunk into a bottomless abyss.
Your Majesty had long been thinking about dealing with the Ye family, but Concubine Ye never expected that the Ye family would train private soldiers.
Does the Ye family really have the intention of rebellion?
She really didn't understand. As the Ye family was a prominent family that had been passed down for a hundred years, why would her father want to train private soldiers?
But the collapse of the Ye family happened overnight, and no one was prepared. She didn't even know whether her father was wrongly accused or the incident was true.
Today, His Majesty punished the Ye family, but did not punish her. I think it was because of the royal heir in her belly.
Now that she has become a criminal, she does not want to die, and the royal heir is her only life-saving talisman!
There was hope and determination in Ye Guipin's eyes, and her hands were firmly protecting her belly.
My child, as long as you are a prince, your mother will definitely have a chance to turn things around!
When Su Jingyao returned to the palace, Jun Zechen had already gotten up from the bed and sat on the couch. At this time, An Shun was already instructing the servants to prepare meals.
She walked over and was about to sit on the other side of the couch when Jun Zechen suddenly grabbed her wrist.
The whole person was dragged to sit in front of Jun Zechen, and her slender waist was embraced by Jun Zechen's strong arms.
"This year, on my 100th birthday, Yaoyao, please give me a gift." Jun Zechen lowered his head slightly and whispered in her ear.
"Your Majesty, do you have a specific gift in mind?"
Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly and asked back, then said with a hint of coquettishness: "How can you ask for a gift yourself?"
Jun Zechen couldn't help but chuckle.
"On the day of my longevity, I will issue an edict to make Yaoyao my queen, so that she can be my legitimate wife. Yaoyao will give herself to me, okay?"
Su Jingyao turned to look at him in surprise, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes, as if she had never expected that he would ban her so quickly.
He murmured, "Your Majesty?"
Jun Zechen kissed her slightly opened mouth. Su Jingyao was stunned for a moment before she began to respond.
In Jun Zechen's heart, the position of empress was originally reserved for her. He wanted his mother and the court officials to accept her more, so he named her Imperial Consort first.
But now that the Su family has made great contributions in destroying the Ye family, it is only legitimate to make Yaoyao the empress.
What's more, apart from Yaoyao, no one can share the country with him.
Su Jingyao's lips were a little red and swollen from his kiss, and Jun Zechen slowly stopped.
"On the day of the Emperor's birthday, I will issue an edict to crown Yaoyao as the empress, and the ceremony will be held one month later."
"From now on, Yaoyao and I will work together in harmony and be of one mind as husband and wife."
"I have expanded the territory and achieved hegemony. Yaoyao is a model mother to the world and a role model for women all over the world."
Jun Zechen looked at Su Jingyao sincerely and passionately, and said these words slowly, with a gentle smile on his face all the time.
Su Jingyao just stood there in a daze. She has always liked ambitious men. Jun Zechen is the same type of person as her. She will accompany him to create another prosperous era for Jun Kingdom.
Emperor Jun Zechen rules the country, and she controls the emperor's heart, controls the imperial power, holds the imperial throne, and reaches the pinnacle of power.
