Chapter 15: Break-in

Miaoyun walked with light steps, following the prince's orders to buy clothes for her master.

She was naturally aware of her master's plan for today, and her master also had other instructions for her today.

Miaoyun came to the busiest clothing store in the bustling city. She looked over the exquisite dresses and finally chose the most expensive one in the store.

She picked up her dress, turned around and walked towards the bustling Zuixiaolou.

When Miaoyun appeared in front of Zuixiao Tower, Meixiang, who was waiting there on the orders of the Crown Princess, saw her. A flash of surprise first flashed across her eyes, and then confusion filled her eyes.

Meixiang's eyes widened, her brows slightly wrinkled, and she asked anxiously, "Miaoyun, where is Concubine Su?"

When Miaoyun saw Meixiang, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and then a perfect smile appeared on her face.

"The master's dress is dirty. His Highness asked me to buy a new dress for the master."

"Where are His Highness and Concubine Su?"

Meixiang's eyes were still full of suspicion. She stared at Miaoyun closely, as if trying to see some clues from her expression.

Miaoyun pretended to be relaxed and said, "Your Highness and the Master are in Moxiang Tower. I'll send the dress over. The Master should be here soon after she's changed."

"This Nishang Pavilion is where the master's family often buys clothes. That's why I came here."

"Is the Crown Princess still in Zuixiaolou?" Miaoyun asked casually.

Meixiang's expression turned serious. She said seriously, "Of course, your master ran around randomly, not only did His Highness waste manpower to find him, but the Crown Princess was also waiting for news in Zuixiao Tower."

Speaking of this, Meixiang felt a little dissatisfied. Did the concubine do it intentionally or unintentionally? The prince actually got angry with his master today because of Concubine Su. It was the first time she saw the prince so angry.

"I will hurry back to Moxiang Tower and deliver the dress to the master. I will be back soon. Sister Meixiang, please ask the Crown Princess to wait for a while."

There was deep apology in Miaoyun's tone, and after she finished speaking, she turned and left.

The moment she turned around, a faint smile of success appeared on her face.

Meixiang frowned and walked back to Zuixiaolou with heavy steps, then carefully pushed open the door of the room that the prince had reserved for his master.

When Ling Yue saw Meixiang coming in, he immediately stood up anxiously, his face full of worry, and asked impatiently: "Did Your Highness find the concubine?"

Meixiang lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Master, His Highness and Concubine are in Moxiang Tower at the moment."

Ling Yue had a puzzled look on his face, frowning tightly, and asked in confusion: "Why, why don't you come back?"

Meixiang raised her head, looked at Lingyue, and said slowly, "Just now, I ran into Miaoyun downstairs. I heard from Miaoyun that Concubine Su's dress was dirty, and the prince took Concubine Su to Moxiang Tower to change clothes. Miaoyun just bought some clothes and brought them back. I think the prince will be back soon."

Ling Yue nodded lightly, his eyes a little wandering, as if he was thinking about something.

Her lips were slightly pursed, and the expression on her face seemed somewhat complicated, with a hint of doubt, a hint of worry, and an indescribable uneasiness.

Her fingers were twirling the corner of her clothes unconsciously, and she looked a little uneasy.

Moxianglou.

Jun Zechen sat lazily on the bed, his eyes fixed on the woman who was now conscious and completely unconscious.

The two of them were entangled crazily for nearly half an hour, and Su Jingyao gradually woke up from the chaos.

She sat quietly in the man's arms, leaning on Jun Zechen's shoulder.

An Shun paced back and forth outside the room anxiously, his brows tightly wrinkled, his face full of worry and helplessness.

He never imagined that the Crown Prince and his concubine would act so recklessly in this tavern. Prince, have you forgotten that the Crown Princess is still waiting for you in Zuixiaolou?

Although the room reserved by the prince was the top-class room in Moxiang Tower, An Shun could still vaguely hear the movements coming from inside the house when he stood outside the door.

He secretly groaned in his heart, but he did not dare to rush in to stop the prince's absurd behavior.

Suddenly, An Shun's eyes widened and his pupils shrank instantly, and he saw the Crown Princess walking slowly towards him.

His heart suddenly rose to his throat and began to pound.

An Shun glanced at the tightly closed door, then took a quick step forward and stood directly in front of the Crown Princess.

"Your servant greets Her Majesty. Her Majesty, why are you here?" An Shun asked flatteringly with a smile on his face.

"I have been waiting for the prince for too long in Zuixiao Tower, but he never showed up. I heard that the prince was in Mofeng Tower, so I came directly here to find him." Ling Yue's voice was filled with a hint of anger and anxiety.

"Your Majesty, how about I book a room for you in Mofeng Tower? You may not be able to return to the palace today, so you can go back early tomorrow morning." An Shun suggested cautiously.

Ling Yue frowned, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, "Where is the prince?"

An Shun sighed helplessly. What is coming cannot be avoided. My Prince, I have done my best.

"The Crown Prince and the Concubine have already gone to bed, Your Majesty, I will book a room for you." There was a hint of embarrassment in An Shun's voice.

Ling Yue's eyes were filled with disbelief. Resting? What does this mean?

Jun Zechen had promised her that he would accompany her every Flower Festival. Did An Shun mean that the Crown Prince would accompany Concubine Su tonight?

Ling Yue's voice suddenly became extremely cold, "An Shun, which room are the Crown Prince and the Concubine in?"

Her finger pointed at the door that An Shun was guarding when she came up and saw him just now.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has fallen asleep..." An Shun lowered his head, not daring to look into the Crown Princess' eyes.

Ling Yue ignored An Shun's obstruction and pushed him away with force, walking towards the room firmly, with Meixiang following closely behind her.

However, when she just walked to the door, she clearly heard Su Jingyao's charming moan.

She was talking to the prince, her voice was so soft and charming that it made one's bones soften.

The prince was also responding to her in a deep and magnetic voice, and the two of them were whispering to each other intimately at this moment!

Ling Yue's body suddenly stiffened, as if he had been cast under a spell.

Last time, she chose to be patient and to trust Jun Zechen, but what about this time?

Jun Zechen trampled on her sincerity time and time again!

Ling Yue's fingertips dug deep into his palm, almost piercing his skin.

She took a deep breath, used all her strength, and kicked the door open.

Su Jingyao was startled by the sudden movement. She hugged the man's waist tightly and hid in the man's arms like a frightened bird.

Although they were separated by a bed curtain, their intimate posture could still be vaguely seen.

Jun Zechen's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, "Be brave, get out!"

Having said that, he held the woman tightly in his arms with one hand and quickly pulled the quilt over them with the other hand, covering them both tightly.

"Your Highness, you went to look for your sister, why are you so immersed in the gentle world now?"

There was a barely perceptible tremor in Ling Yue's voice, but her tone was full of sarcasm.

Jun Zechen came to his senses when he heard a familiar voice. He slowly turned his head to look at the woman at the door. It was Ling Yue.

"Yuer, today's events are a little special. I will explain them to you later. You go out first." Jun Zechen's voice was still a little hoarse.

"Explain? What do you want to explain, Your Highness? Can't I see for myself?"

Ling Yue responded without giving in, his eyes full of stubbornness and disappointment.

Jun Zechen became increasingly angry because of Ling Yue's rude words.

Should he quarrel with her in this situation? He is the prince, and no matter what happens, Ling Yue should not speak to him like this.

"Behave!" Jun Zechen growled angrily.

An Shun was frightened when he heard the prince's roar and ran in quickly, "Your Highness."

"Take the Crown Princess out!" Jun Zechen ordered coldly, his eyes full of coldness.

Su Jingyao's body trembled slightly involuntarily. She leaned weakly on the man's shoulder, but a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Ling Yue, there would never be any good outcome between you and Jun Zechen. I just helped you see the true face of this man in advance, so that you can give up early, and maybe you won't be so painful.

Su Jingyao's goal is very clear, the position of Queen is hers, and Jun Zechen is also hers, and she will never let Jun Zechen have any other woman in his heart except her.

Su Jingyao wants to completely break the false love between them!

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and there was a barely perceptible viciousness in her eyes.

The rule of this world is that the capable will prevail. Now that she has entered the harem, how can she not fight?

What's more, without her, Su Jingyao, Jun Zechen would have other women in the future. If that's the case, why can't it be her, Su Jingyao?

At this moment, Jun Zechen's large hands were gently comforting the trembling Su Jingyao, softly stroking her smooth back, as if telling her not to be nervous, not to be afraid, and not to feel the slightest bit of guilt.

Ling Yue never expected Jun Zechen to treat her like this. A hint of disappointment and anger flashed in her eyes.

He said coldly: "I will go out by myself."

Having said that, she resolutely turned around and left, her back looking extremely lonely and sad.

Seeing this, An Shun followed him out and quickly closed the door.

"Crown Princess, I have already asked someone to book a room for you in Mofeng Tower. Please rest here for one night." An Shun said respectfully.

Ling Yue didn't say anything, but silently followed a guard to the room An Shun mentioned, while An Shun stood quietly outside Jun Zechen's room.

After Ling Yue returned to the room in a daze, she slowly sat on the bed. All the strength in her seemed to collapse in an instant at this moment.

Tears gushed out like a flood that broke through a dam, and the crystal tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto her clothes, soaking them.

Meixiang was standing by, looking at her with heartache, her eyes full of worry and concern.

"Master, Concubine Su is definitely not as innocent as she appears to be. Please don't trust her anymore!" Meixiang's voice was filled with anxiety and helplessness.

Ling Yue's heart was in a mess at the moment, and her thoughts were churning.

Is Su Jingyao really innocent?

Has Jun Zechen's heart begun to lean towards her?

Ling Yue bit her lower lip tightly, her heart filled with pain and struggle.

Has her husband fallen in love with Su Jingyao?

When she thought of this, her heart felt as if it was being gnawing at by millions of ants.

So what if Su Jingyao is innocent?

Doesn’t Jun Zechen like this kind of innocence?

Ling Yue finally understood why she felt so uncomfortable when she was with Su Jingyao.

Su Jingyao was so beautiful, and her beautiful appearance was exactly what Jun Zechen liked, which made her feel extremely scared.

Ling Yue would rather Su Jingyao was a treacherous and calculating woman. If that were the case, Jun Zechen would never like her.

Ling Yue always feels inferior in front of Su Jingyao because Su Jingyao is a lady from a noble family with stunning beauty, a distinguished family background, a gentle personality and outstanding talents.

In the past, she was full of confidence because of Jun Zechen's love, but what about now?

Meixiang looked at her master in a daze and sighed softly.

"Master, don't be discouraged. His Highness must have you in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have said he would explain to you tomorrow. You broke into the prince's room so recklessly today and made the prince lose face." Her eyes were full of worry.

"The most important thing now is that you must firmly grasp the heart of the Crown Prince. Also, don't trust the Concubine anymore. She is definitely not a good person!"

Meixiang's tone was firm and resolute. Although she also thought that the concubine was simple at first, and her words and actions were indeed consistent, but recent events made her intuition tell her that the concubine must be no simple person.

She couldn't let her master continue to be with the concubine.

"Mei Xiang, His Highness just likes simple girls. I've been with him for two years. Don't I know that?"

There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in Ling Yue's voice.

But Ling Yue was not one to sit still and wait for death. She said firmly: "Mei Xiang, I don't know whether the concubine is sincere or not, but as long as someone wants to take His Highness away, I will not let her go."

Her voice was full of determination and her eyes gleamed with determination.

She couldn't let Su Jingyao become more and more important in Jun Zechen's heart. She was the Crown Princess married by the Crown Prince!
