Chapter 135 Ling's Obstinate Depravity

"Miao Yun, go and bring Ling over." Su Jingyao ordered.

Then he said to Li Jing, "You go down first."

Li Jing responded respectfully and retreated.

When Ling Yue came over, she saw Su Jingyao sitting quietly on the bed with an expressionless face.

She stood in the center of the bedroom, with a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness on her face. She pursed her lips and said nothing, nor did she salute, looking unruly.

Xilu, who was standing by, frowned when he saw this. He was not used to her being so rude.

He strode forward and mercilessly pushed the man down to his knees.

"Ling Yue, you said last night that your father died?"

Su Jingyao turned her head slightly and asked with a smile, but there was a sharp gleam in her eyes.

Ling Yue frowned, with confusion and anger in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Ling Yue, you hate me and want to kill me, and even harm the heir in my belly."

"For such a heinous crime, it would not be too much to chop off your father's head. Even your father's iron bones throughout his life of military service have been cursed because of you. Are you happy?"

Su Jingyao raised a sarcastic smile and looked at Ling Yue with cold eyes.

"What are you talking about? My father has been killed by His Majesty. My father is dead!"

Ling Yue widened her eyes and shouted in disbelief, her face flushed red.

"If I convince myself, can I find comfort in my heart?"

"Ling Yue, you don't really care whether your father is still alive or not. You just want to give yourself a reason to kill me."

Su Jingyao raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of disdain.

"Why do you use your thoughts to speculate about me? Isn't it because of you that I have become like this?"

Ling Yue looked at Su Jingyao hatefully, anger burning in his eyes and his teeth chattering.

"You became like this because I stole your majesty? Because I stole your position as queen?"

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows, with a hint of contempt in her tone.

"Ling Yue, why do you think all this is naturally yours? Your stupidity is not worthy of your greed."

Su Jingyao said coldly, her eyes full of frost.

"Are you trying to say that everything you did was instigated by others and that you are innocent all along?"

Su Jingyao continued speaking, her facial expression not changing at all.

"However, you are greedy, you are mean, you are stupid and ignorant, and you are vicious at heart. Are you worthy of the position of queen?"

With every word Su Jingyao spoke, her eyes grew colder.

When Ling Yue heard Su Jingyao's criticism of her, she looked like she wanted to bite Su Jingyao.

"Su Jingyao, you are the one who has despicable means and vicious heart. When you first entered the East Palace, you pretended to be innocent and weak, deceived me, framed me, alienated the relationship between me and His Majesty, and later took away my position as Queen!"

Ling Yue shouted hysterically, his voice shrill and piercing.

"Yes, so what? Since I have entered the East Palace and become the prince's wife, why shouldn't I fight for his favor?"

"Since I want to compete for your favor, I must do my best. I have taken your Majesty's heart. It is my ability. If you cannot keep it, it is your incompetence."

Su Jingyao's voice was still faint, forming a sharp contrast with Ling Yue's hoarse voice.

But every word was like a sharp sword, piercing Ling Yue's heart.

"Yes, I am incompetent. I have been jealous of you since the first day you entered the East Palace. You have a good family background, beauty, and talent. You are what every man in the world likes."

"You have everything, why did you take away His Majesty? I have nothing, and you took away the only thing I have."

Su Jingyao shook her head, her face now filled with boredom.

She really didn't want to continue talking to Ling Yue any more.

Only cowards will beg others to let them go, while smart people understand that they need to stop the losses in time.

The moment Ling Yue realized that Jun Zechen didn't love her, she should have understood that she shouldn't cling to such illusory love.

Since you have chosen to fight for power in the court, you must have the courage to accept failure calmly.

Your own life is ultimately your own responsibility.

Do you choose to muddle through in a daze, or live a splendid life in various ways, or maintain a calm and leisurely attitude.

It all depends on yourself.

"I am no longer interested in discussing this issue with you. I will give you two choices."

Su Jingyao's eyes were as indifferent as a calm lake, without any ripples.

But the words that came out of her mouth were chilling.

"Tell me who is behind your help, and I will show mercy and grant you death."

"If you refuse to tell me, I will make you wish you were dead, and then I will take your father's head."

"Hahaha, do you think I will tell you? I did fail this time, but I am not the only one who hates you. There will always be someone who will pull you down from the high altar."

Ling Yue raised his head stubbornly and said this with a tough mouth, but his eyes clearly revealed a hint of panic.

If Daddy hadn't died, Your Majesty would never have allowed the Queen to act so recklessly.

She seemed to be still trying to hold on to that unrealistic fantasy, but she didn't know that she was already in a desperate situation and couldn't extricate herself.

"Oh."

Su Jingyao's lips curled up into a slight smile, with a hint of disdain in her voice.

"It must be Concubine Ye."

The surprise in Ling Yue's eyes quickly spread.

How would she know?

"I wanted to give you a chance, but unfortunately you couldn't seize it."

"I like to use my brain when doing things, and I like to be in control of everything."

"So, I will not let you die, but your father will die."

"How about I bring your father's head back from the border and present it to you so that you can show your filial piety?"

Su Jingyao raised the corners of her lips slightly, her smile full of sarcasm and cruelty.

"Didn't you say that I'm cruel? There are so many soldiers who fought for my country, but I'm the only queen of my country. Your father deserves death because of you, and I want you to live a life worse than death."

Su Jingyao stopped talking and looked at Ling Yue with cold eyes.

After hearing this, Ling Yue wanted to rush over like crazy, shouting, "Su Jingyao, you vicious woman!"

Seeing this, Xilu hurriedly strode forward, stopped her, and covered her mouth tightly with one hand.

Su Jingyao waved her hand and said expressionlessly, "Take the person away."

Then Su Jingyao said to everyone, "Everyone go out, I will be quiet for a while."

After everyone left, Su Jingyao lay down.

She was basically certain of her guess based on Ling Yue's reaction.

But among the princesses and princesses sent by these countries, who is helping Concubine Ye?

Suddenly, Su Jingyao had an idea.

Last time, Jun Zechen seemed to have said that the attack on Yuehui was postponed because of the Canglang Kingdom. Could it be Canglang?

Among these five countries, Canglang is indeed the most powerful.

Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes.

Lan Fei...

Could it be that Concubine Ye wanted to commit treason and collude with Canglang from inside and outside?

It seems that Jun Zechen may know that Concubine Lan is a spy, so he takes advantage of her.

But he probably didn't know that Concubine Ye was still alive, and even that the remnants of the Ye family might be in cahoots with the evildoers.

However, if Ling Yue's matter is related to the dispute among the five nations, Jun Zechen cannot help but investigate...
