Chapter 16 Dependence

After Ling Yue went out, Su Jingyao began to struggle hard, twisting her body constantly, trying to break free from the man's restraints and get out of his arms.

"Where are you going?"

Jun Zechen held her slender waist tightly. His voice was low and magnetic, carrying an invisible power that made Su Jingyao's struggle in vain.

His brows wrinkled slightly, and a barely perceptible displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"Your Highness, we shouldn't do this... My sister must be sad, I'm sorry for her... Wuwu..."

Su Jingyao's tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, her beautiful eyes were full of guilt and self-blame, her eyes were misty with tears, making people feel pity for her.

Her face was filled with worry about Ling Yue, and her slightly trembling lips made one feel the pain and struggle in her heart at a glance.

"You are my concubine, and it is your duty to serve me. Moreover, today was an accident. I understand that the Crown Princess is angry for a while, and you don't have to feel guilty."

Jun Zechen's tone remained calm. He stretched out his slender fingers and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Su Jingyao's eyes.

"Your Highness, I will go and explain this to my sister in person tomorrow."

Su Jingyao still couldn't let it go and was still worried about Ling Yue's feelings.

Seeing her like this, Jun Zechen's face became even gloomier. He asked coldly, "Have you ever recognized your own identity?"

Su Jingyao was stunned when she heard this. She didn't understand the deep meaning of the man's words, and her eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

"You are my concubine. Now we are very close. Will the Crown Princess be willing to listen to your explanation?"

Jun Zechen's voice became colder and colder, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, "What's more, you secretly spent time with a man outside today, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"

His heart was already filled with rage. This woman had never been able to recognize her own identity. Not only was she entangled with other men, she was even always thinking about how to comfort Ling Yue.

His woman was obsessed with clearing up the misunderstanding between him and another woman, and he felt as if a stone was blocking his heart, making him feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, it was really an accident that I met Master Si today."

Su Jingyao looked at Jun Zechen innocently, her eyes full of grievance and helplessness. She really had no way to defend herself.

Jun Zechen ignored her explanation. He said this just to make her be more prudent in the future, not because he really believed that she had any complicated relationship with other men.

Jun Zechen pinched her slender waist tightly with one hand, with such force that it seemed as if he could break her waist, and with the other hand he grabbed the back of her neck, forcing her to raise her head.

"As my concubine, you should focus all your attention on me. Do you understand?"

"How can Your Highness be so overbearing? I have put my heart on Your Highness, but Your Highness has never shown me any sympathy."

Su Jingyao grumbled in dissatisfaction, and her aggrieved look made me feel pity for her. Her clear eyes like a deer looked straight at him.

"How do you know, Yaoyao, that if you put your heart on me, I won't be moved by you?"

Jun Zechen stared at her closely with his deep eyes, and his ink-black eyes seemed to hide endless secrets.

Su Jingyao looked at him with her deer-like eyes, and she felt as if she was about to drown in his dark eyes that were as deep as the sea.

She slowly bent down, placed her small hands gently on the man's shoulders, and whispered softly in his ear: "Can I trust your Highness?"

Jun Zechen looked at her deeply, and his dark and hoarse voice rang in her ears, carrying an irresistible charm.

"Whether Yaoyao believes it or not, I am your only support."

Therefore, Jun Zechen has nothing to fear. He is now the crown prince who is above all others and second only to one emperor in the kingdom. In the future, he will become the emperor who holds power over the world and has the power to decide life and death.

Whether it's Su Jingyao or Ling Yue, they can only belong to him.

Su Jingyao's delicate figure trembled suddenly. She knew in her heart that what the man said was right. He was her only support and the support of this country.

This is the rule of this world, unless she has the ability to overthrow the imperial power, but why would that be necessary?

Whether it is supporting others to ascend the throne or becoming an empress herself, it is obviously a more difficult path.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to firmly grasp the heart of the man in front of her and let her son become the emperor.

Su Jingyao stretched out her arms and hugged Jun Zechen's neck, her watery eyes meeting Jun Zechen's.

Because of the kiss between the two, her wet red lips looked particularly attractive at this moment, as if silently calling out for something.

Then, with a pitiful look in her eyes, she said softly, "I hope Your Highness will have mercy on me."

Having said that, she took the initiative to move her charming red lips forward.

Jun Zechen's machismo and unspeakable desire were instantly ignited and greatly satisfied.

The woman finally began to accept him and no longer resisted him.

The two people on the bed were making love, their red waves rolling, interweaving into a charming and erotic picture with endless spring scenery.

The second day.

The bright sunlight came through the window and sprinkled onto the bed. Su Jingyao woke up slowly in the man's warm arms.

She slowly opened her eyes, her clear eyes like autumn water flashing with a lively light.

Jun Zechen was still immersed in his dream and had not yet awakened.

There was a hint of cunning and calculation in Su Jingyao's eyes. Since this man had personally asked her to focus her mind on him yesterday, she would have to seduce him more blatantly in the future.

After such a long period of forbearance and grievance, at least now if she has a conflict with Ling Yue, Jun Zechen will no longer favor Ling Yue without a second thought like before.

After Su Jingyao closed her eyes, Jun Zechen also keenly noticed her movements.

He opened his eyes slightly and looked at Su Jingyao tenderly.

"Awake?" His voice was hoarse and dull, as if he had just woken up.

"Well, Your Highness, are we going back to the palace?" Su Jingyao's voice still carried the laziness of just waking up, and her soft tone carried endless charm.

"Why, haven't you waited long enough?" Jun Zechen raised the corners of his mouth slightly with an imperceptible smile.

"No, I'll get up and wash up now."

Su Jingyao said this, then gently broke away from Jun Zechen's embrace and prepared to get up.

Anshun, who had been waiting outside the door all night, heard the noise inside and walked in with Miaoyun.

"Your servant greets Your Highness, Concubine." An Shun bowed respectfully.

An Shun skillfully helped Jun Zechen wash and dress, while Miaoyun carefully helped Su Jingyao wash and change clothes behind the screen.

"Where is the Crown Princess?" Jun Zechen asked calmly, with no emotion in his voice.

When Su Jingyao heard Jun Zechen's question, she immediately pricked up her ears and listened attentively.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess went back to the palace on her own after getting up today. I have arranged a carriage for her." An Shun reported truthfully.

Jun Zechen's brows wrinkled slightly. Ling Yue did have a bad temper, but it was also because of his original promise that the current situation occurred.

He felt sorry for Ling Yue, but he didn't want to change the current situation easily.

Ling Yue needs to be more restrained in her temperament. If he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, Ling Yue, as the empress, must be magnanimous and decent.

How could he break into the room without paying any attention to etiquette and not give them the slightest bit of dignity like he did last night?

After Su Jingyao had dressed herself up, she walked out gracefully wearing the aqua blue tube top dress that Miaoyun had carefully purchased yesterday.

This skirt is tied with a white silk belt with exquisite embroidered patterns, and the overall texture is very drapey.

When she put on this skirt, her temperament looked exceptionally outstanding and her figure looked even more graceful and elegant, like a fairy from heaven.

Every time Jun Zechen saw her like this, he would be stunned for a moment by astonishment.

Seeing that he was stunned for a moment, Su Jingyao lifted the hem of her skirt and trotted towards him with brisk steps.

Then she hugged his thin waist tightly, raised her exquisite and beautiful face, and her bright watery eyes shone like stars, sparkling.

"Am I pretty?" Su Jingyao's voice was clear and pleasant, as sweet as a silver bell.

Jun Zechen seemed a little dazed by her initiative. When he heard her question, he nodded involuntarily and murmured, "There is no more beautiful woman in the world. She is so beautiful that it pleases my eyes."

Su Jingyao's eyes sparkled even more because of his praise.

"It turns out that Your Highness also likes my face."

"Why are you so proactive today?"

Jun Zechen felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. After all, this little girl had never opened her heart to him before and always avoided him on purpose. Even before on the bed, he forced her to take the initiative.

Su Jingyao rubbed herself gently in his arms, and then whispered, "Because His Highness said that you are my only support, and I am trying to please you."

After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed again, and her shy watery eyes were so hot that they burned Jun Zechen's heart.

Jun Zechen bent down, held her slender waist, and said softly: "Yaoyao is very obedient, I like her very much."

Jun Zechen couldn't deny that this kind of Su Jingyao made his heart beat faster.

He originally thought that she was just a noble lady who was bound by rules and was dull and boring, but in fact, she had a changeable personality, was well versed in poetry, was good at chess, spoke wittily and humorously, was charming and lovely, and had a great vision...

Every side of her delighted him and made him want to keep exploring more of her.

During the Flower Festival, the imperial court was suspended for three days, so officials were able to enjoy three days of vacation, and the prince naturally did not have to attend court.

However, the emperor's health condition is getting worse and worse, and most of the memorials now need to be handled by Jun Zechen. Even during these three days of rest, he still needs to handle government affairs.

The two of them sat in the carriage, and Su Jingyao still sat in the same seat she had sat in when they left the palace.

But at this moment, the Crown Princess was no longer there.

She sat upright, with her head slightly lowered, looking a little reserved.

Jun Zechen's eyes fell on her and he asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

"I don't know how to face my sister..."

Su Jingyao bit her lower lip lightly, then slowly raised her head and looked at him, her eyes full of worry and uneasiness.

"Have I ruined the relationship between Your Highness and your sister?"

Jun Zechen didn't know how to answer her question for a moment. In fact, it was not her fault, but his problem.

Jun Zechen turned the ring on his hand, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

It was he who promised Ling Yue love when she didn't know what love was yet. Neither Ling Yue nor Su Jingyao were wrong; he was the one who was wrong.

"This is a matter between me and the Crown Princess. Yaoyao, don't worry too much. I will handle it properly."

Su Jingyao frowned, lowered her eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings. Her two index fingers were still turning unconsciously.

Obviously, the man's words did not comfort her.

Seeing this, Jun Zechen sighed helplessly, then he reached out his big hands and gently held her on his lap.

Su Jingyao looked at him with surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"If I had always been indifferent to you, would you have lived your whole life in the East Palace without fighting or competing?"

Su Jingyao nodded obediently, "I like the poet Feng Menglong very much. He has a saying that awakens the world, and I always remember it in my heart, 'If you don't think twice before doing something, you will regret it in the end. If you can be patient, you will have no worries.' Your Highness doesn't like me, I can accept it, I can tolerate it, and naturally I won't regard it as a matter of concern."

"She is a very open-minded woman, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed..."

Jun Zechen spoke these words very softly. If the two of them were not so close at the moment, Su Jingyao would probably have difficulty hearing them clearly.

Su Jingyao put her arm around the man's neck, "Then Your Highness, please remember to love me. I don't like to cry, but what Your Highness said before was really hurtful. Even if I look up at the sky and think about the happy things in the past, I can't stop my tears from falling."

After saying that, she gently rubbed the man's neck like a coquettish kitten.

Her words made Jun Zechen feel sad and want to protect her and pamper her.

He couldn't help but give her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
