Chapter 235 Headache?

When Jun Zechen arrived at Shuening Palace, although there was no expression on his face, his eyes were filled with anxiety.

Miaoyun, who was waiting outside the bedroom, saw the Crown Prince rushing in. She was full of doubts and a look of bewilderment on her face.

Didn’t His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to Huameiju?

"Where is your master?"

"The master is resting in the bedroom."

Miaoyun didn't know what was going on and was panicked, but she still calmed herself down and answered respectfully.

Upon hearing this, Jun Zechen strode directly into the bedroom without saying a word.

In the bedroom, Su Jingyao had not rested yet. She was sitting cross-legged leisurely on the bed, while Miaoxia was sitting beside the bed. The two were chatting and laughing while playing mahjong to pass the time.

Since Jun Zechen didn't come to Shuining Palace, she had extra time in the evening. In addition to reading, she naturally had to find some fun for herself.

It’s no wonder that in ancient times, women in both the imperial palace and the noble families were full of calculations. If you didn’t think about scheming against others every day, life would be too boring.

Su Jingyao has always loved herself the most, so no matter what situation she is in, she must live her life comfortably and happily.

The closer Jun Zechen got to the bed, the clearer the woman's giggles and voices became in his ears.

His hurried steps slowed down instantly, and his face became as terribly gloomy as the sky before a storm.

The tense corners of his mouth showed that he was extremely unhappy at the moment.

Headache?

Oh.

Jun Zechen had just walked to the bedside when Miaoxia spotted him first. She was startled at first, then quickly stood up and saluted: "Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

After the ceremony, Miaoxia saw that His Highness seemed to be in a bad mood, but she still withdrew very tactfully.

When Su Jingyao heard that Jun Zechen was coming, she was even more shocked than yesterday.

Why is he here?!

Then she moved closer to the bed and blinked at him innocently.

Why do you look so ugly?

Su Jingyao's heart sank, but her face remained calm and she didn't show any panic at all.

She got off the bed without even bothering to put on her shoes, and walked quickly to Jun Zechen barefoot, held his big hands with both hands, and bowed.

The voice was soft and gentle: "Why is Your Highness here?"

Jun Zechen pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, but stared at her with his dark eyes. His eyes were so cold that they seemed to be able to freeze people.

He lowered his eyes and approached her step by step.

Under his overwhelming momentum, Su Jingyao could only retreat step by step in panic until she had nowhere to retreat and her delicate body suddenly sat down on the bed.

"What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Su Jingyao's voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

Jun Zechen snorted coldly, bent down, clamped his palms around her chin, and forced her head up high.

"What's wrong?"

"Your maid came to Huameiju and said you had a headache. I was so worried that I came to see you, but you were playing cards here leisurely."

His voice was filled with pressure, and every word seemed to contain ice chips.

"What? Are you so bold as to even deceive me now?"

Jun Zechen's eyes became colder and colder, and the strength of his hands increased unconsciously.

When Su Jingyao heard that the palace maids in her palace went to Huamei Residence to invite Jun Zechen, a moment of confusion flashed in her eyes, but she soon understood what was going on.

Ling Yue is really amazing.

She was in charge of all the affairs of the East Palace. Su Jingyao had long known that there must be Ling Yue's people in her Shuening Palace, so she specifically asked Nanny Lin to be on strict guard and not let these palace maids enter her bedroom, let alone touch her food.

Even any palace maid who went out for no reason had to be closely monitored, but recently the palace maids in Shuening Palace had been behaving themselves and doing their own things, and had no involvement with Qiluan Palace.

No wonder there was no need to inform anyone, they were just waiting for this show.

Last time, she sent people to Qiluan Palace to snatch Jun Zechen away. This time, Jun Zechen was so angry that he must have believed in his heart that it was she who sent people to invite him away.

Although her arrogant and domineering personality always made her feel good, but in Jun Zechen's heart, what she did in these matters of competing for favor was just natural, and he didn't have any doubts at all.

However, since Ling Yue had set a trap for her, she might as well use this opportunity to test Jun Zechen's attitude.

"Your Highness, I did not send anyone to invite you. It must be a frame-up by the Crown Princess."

Su Jingyao's eyes were extremely firm, as if she had suffered a great injustice and was eager to complain.

"The Crown Princess framed me?"

Jun Zechen raised his eyebrows slightly, his deep eyes did not waver at all, obviously he did not believe it.

He knew that she hated and was hostile to Ling Yue, but did she think that he doted on her to the point where he couldn't tell right from wrong, black from white?

"Speaking of the Crown Princess, I just wanted to ask you, did you embarrass the Crown Princess by showing off the bracelet in public this morning?"

Jun Zechen's tone became more and more severe, and his eyes were fixed on her, not allowing her to escape at all.

Su Jingyao lowered her eyes slowly, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and a dark color passed through her eyes.

Sure enough, with her previous criminal record, it was difficult for Jun Zechen to believe her words easily.

If she wanted to kill Ling Yue now, she would have to produce evidence that Ling Yue framed her. But obviously, unless she could find the token between the palace maid and Ling Yue, if she didn't find it, she might be blamed by Ling Yue.

Since Ling Yue wanted her to be the real favorite concubine, she might as well do as she wished!

"Yes, it is Your Highness that I am going to invite tonight at Huamei Residence."

Su Jingyao raised her eyes suddenly, tears flashing in them, but also revealing a fearless stubbornness.

"I am the crown prince, and I will have more women in the future."

Jun Zechen's voice was as cold and hard as iron, without a trace of warmth, and his tense facial lines made him look particularly serious.

At first Ling Yue also resented him for having many women, but he would become the emperor later, and this was unavoidable.

"I don't care how many women Your Highness has. Today Your Highness came out of Yude Hall. Huamei Residence and Shuening Hall are close. I was originally very happy and expected that Your Highness would come to my place, but you went to Huamei Residence instead."

Su Jingyao's voice was choked with sobs, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

"I dare not be jealous, I dare not lose my temper, I will stay in Shui Ning Palace obediently."

"But Your Highness has stayed in Huamei Residence for almost two hours. Your Highness has never stayed overnight in Shuining Palace. I thought you fell in love with someone else and wanted to stay overnight in Huamei Residence, wuwu."

Su Jingyao couldn't hold it in anymore, and her tears burst out like a flood. Her petite body sitting on the bed trembled with sobs.

Jun Zechen originally did not intend to stay in Huamei Residence for long, but it was a hot summer day and it was not too dark after dinner. Jun Zechen had some embarrassing reasons in his heart. He did not like doing intimate things with women in the daytime. When it was dark, he could still deceive himself.

So he started reading in Huamei Residence, but Lin Miaoyin's piano music was so melodious and leisurely that he was absorbed in it and unknowingly forgot the time, so he stayed in Huamei Residence a little longer.

"I have no intention of staying at Thrushcross Lodge."

Jun Zechen's voice was still cold. Although what she said was understandable, such willful behavior was not good after all.

His expression did not soften in the slightest.

"Then you must like Lin Liangyuan very much. You have endless things to say to her, and you are either vicious or abusive to me."

Su Jingyao's tone became more and more aggrieved, and her voice was full of resentment, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Jun Zechen stretched out his thumb and gently brushed across the red corners of her eyes, frowning slightly, "Aggression against you? Scolding you?"

She had never seen his truly vicious side. Jun Zechen almost never scolded anyone. If someone was worthy of his scolding, he would probably have his head moved off.

"If you do this again, I won't come over. Don't come and cry in front of me when you lose face."

Jun Zechen's expression was still not good, and every word he spoke contained a warning.

What happened tonight would definitely be known to his mother tomorrow. It might not be long before she would be summoned by her mother. Her mother was not as easy to talk to as he was.

Although he still spoke rudely, Su Jingyao noticed that his tone seemed to have softened a little.

"Your Highness, I will never do such a thing again."

Her voice was soft and slightly flattering. She raised her head, her watery eyes full of clarity and innocence.

"Your Highness, please forgive me this time."

Su Jingyao hugged his waist tightly with both hands and rubbed it gently like a kitten, looking cute and adorable.

As for showing off in front of Ling Yue this morning, it was originally her who did it, so there is no excuse for it. The best solution is to let Jun Zechen not mention it himself.

It was he who gave it to her in the first place, could it be possible that he didn't know what she was going to do?

Since he gave it, then just accept her riding on Lingyue's face.

"Three days of house arrest, minor punishment and major warning, and never to do it again."

Jun Zechen deliberately kept his voice calm and his tone serious.

After he finished speaking, he saw Su Jingyao's face wrinkled with dissatisfaction, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something but stopped, so he added another sentence.

"I won't let anyone know, so as not to embarrass you."

"If you do it again next time, I will not show any mercy." Jun Zechen emphasized again.

Su Jingyao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. What was the point of this house arrest? She didn't want to go out in such a hot weather anyway.

Then he said "hmm" obediently.

With anticipation in his eyes, he asked, "Then will Your Highness stay in the Shuining Palace tonight?"

"I will return to Yude Hall." Jun Zechen answered without hesitation, with a firm look.

Now she's acting so recklessly, if I stay here tonight, wouldn't it just encourage her bad habits?
