Chapter 247 Past and Present Life

Ever since the news of Su Jingyao's pregnancy spread throughout the palace, even the sick emperor showed special care for her, and words of concern and care were heard from time to time.

Not to mention the Empress Dowager, who even carefully selected a nanny who was proficient in taking care of pregnant women and sent her to take good care of her.

It protects Su Jingyao in all directions, just like building an indestructible wall.

After all, the Empress's faction of Concubine Shu and Prince Duan were still unwilling to give up their evil intentions. They had always tried to use the fact that the Crown Prince had no heir as an excuse to win over those unstable court officials in an attempt to prevent the Crown Prince from ascending the throne.

Now that the concubine is pregnant, even though the empress is not used to her being favored by the prince and her arrogant behavior of monopolizing the prince, for the sake of her beloved grandson, the empress can temporarily suppress her dissatisfaction in her heart and choose to accept it.

As long as her grandson could be born safely, everything else was just trivial.

During her pregnancy, Su Jingyao was very relaxed and at ease.

There is no need to go out of your way to please Jun Zechen. All you need to do every day is to talk sweetly to him and tell him to do this and that.

She felt relaxed and comfortable, and Jun Zechen was also very happy. It was so nice to be together like this.

However, Jun Zechen did not disobey the Queen's request again and began to favor other women in the backyard as arranged.

But no one knew what Jun Zechen was thinking. He specifically ordered that no concubine in the East Palace should disturb Su Jingyao, and even expressly prohibited anyone from leaking the news of who he favored to Shuening Palace.

Su Jingyao sneered and covered her ears to listen to the bell.

Since he didn't want her to know, she would just pretend not to know.

I spend every day leisurely taking care of the baby, and my life is as comfortable as that of a god.

Time flies by like a white horse. Day by day, the health of the current emperor is getting worse and worse, like a candle in the wind, shaking and about to fall.

Jun Zechen knew clearly that the day of his father's death was not far away, and it was time to completely resolve Ling Yue.

According to the time calculation, Su Jingyao would most likely give birth after he ascended the throne, and when he ascended the throne, it would be impossible for him to let Ling Yue become the queen.

For Jun Zechen, there are many reasons why Ling Yue should not become the queen, but he feels that Ling Yue is not simple, and maybe she has been reborn like him. Jun Zechen naturally wants to clarify the doubts in his heart.

Qiluan Palace.

When Ling Yue saw Jun Zechen coming, an expression of surprise instantly spread across her face.

But she quickly gathered her composure, pretended to be calm, and went out to greet him.

Jun Zechen hasn't been to Qiluan Palace for a long time. What's the matter with you coming here today?

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Jun Zechen shouted "Stand up" expressionlessly, then walked into the hall of Qiluan Palace without looking around, and then sat down in the first seat with his horse and sword in his arms.

"Everyone, please stand down."

Jun Zechen's voice was stern and completely emotionless.

Ling Yue, who was standing in the middle of the hall and was about to speak, felt inexplicably nervous about Jun Zechen's unexpected behavior.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and a bad premonition hung over her heart like a haze.

After all the palace people left as instructed, Anshun was the last one to leave. He closed the door of the hall and stood guard at the door.

Ling Yue's tension instantly reached its peak, and her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her throat.

"Your Highness, do you have something to tell me?"

There was a barely perceptible panic in her voice.

"Please sit down, Princess."

Jun Zechen looked indifferent and gestured casually to Ling Yue.

Ling Yue sat down below Jun Zechen with some trepidation, her posture stiff and her body tensed.

After Ling Yue sat down, Jun Zechen's dark and deep eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, locking her firmly in place.

Without hesitation, he said, "I know you are reborn."

Jun Zechen's voice exploded in Ling Yue's mind. Her expression instantly went out of control. She stared at him blankly, her lips slightly parted, her mind blank, not knowing how to react.

Jun Zechen knew that she was reborn, was it because he was also reborn?

When Ling Yue thought of this possibility, her folded hands in front of her body unconsciously clasped each other tightly.

But she quickly took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

"I don't know what Your Highness is talking about."

Ling Yue bit her lip, trying to make her voice sound calm.

"Since you don't admit it, I'll just speak my mind directly."

Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was determined and his voice was cold.

"I can't make you the queen. If you are willing to leave the palace, I can arrange everything for you and set you free."

His face was expressionless, and his words were like a merciless cold wind, blowing straight towards Ling Yue.

Jun Zechen said so confidently that she could not be made empress, and Ling Yue felt as if all her strength was drained away in an instant. Her forced composure collapsed in an instant, and she could no longer hold back her expression, and she almost collapsed.

"Why! What did I do wrong?"

She was hysterical, her voice was desperate and unwilling, tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes turned red in an instant.

"Ling Yue, with your family background, becoming the Crown Princess was a decision I made when I was young and frivolous. You have no children and no family background. Without my support, how could you ascend to the position of Empress?"

Jun Zechen's brows were furrowed, his face full of annoyance, and his eyes were filled with disgust and impatience.

"You shouldn't ask what you did wrong, you should ask why I must ensure that you become the queen."

Ling Yue has never looked for reasons in herself. Her heart is high above the sky. Letting her go free is the best ending Jun Zechen can give her.

"Oh, why do you have to speak so pompously, Prince? You want the concubine to ascend to the throne of empress, right?"

Ling Yue also completely dropped his disguise at this point, his face filled with anger and resentment.

"Your Highness, you are right. I am reborn, and so are you. If you were not reborn, you would be in love with me right now!"

Ling Yue glared at Jun Zechen angrily.

If he had not been reborn, he would not have looked at her with such disgust and impatience.

Since God has allowed her to be reborn, why did he want Jun Zechen to be reborn as well? Why did he want to play tricks on her like this!

"You promised me that we would be together for life, but you never fulfilled your promise to make me your queen!"

Ling Yue completely collapsed, his voice was filled with tears, the cries were miserable and sad, and his body kept shaking.

Because of Jun Zechen's rebirth in this life, no matter what she does, she can't win!

"Since you have the memory of your previous life, you should also know that I have fulfilled my promise."

When Jun Zechen said this slowly, his eyes as deep as a pool were observing Ling Yue's reaction.

When Ling Yue heard this, he was stunned, his expression was as if nothing had happened, and there was confusion in his eyes.

Seeing this, Jun Zechen lowered his brows and looked down.

Maybe his guess is true.

This Ling Yue is not the Ling Yue from his previous life, so she is so hostile to Su Jingyao.

But what happened to Ling Yue in her previous life? What roles did Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao play in her memory?

Jun Zechen is now more and more curious about Ling Yue's memories of her past life.

Ling Yue suddenly seemed to understand something that she had not been able to figure out because of Jun Zechen's words.

Jun Zechen was reborn, but the world he was reborn into was not her previous life, but another world. In that world, she became his queen!

Which one is true and which one is false?

"Since your former world has already sent me to the throne of queen, do you love me?"

Ling Yue's eyes suddenly lit up with eagerness, and she couldn't wait to know the answer.

In that world, she could have ascended to the throne of queen, and there must have been no Su Jingyao. Without Su Jingyao, Jun Zechen still loved her, and the throne of queen was also hers. She was right, it was Su Jingyao who took away everything from her.

"I let you become the queen just to fulfill my promise."

Jun Zechen's expression was indifferent and his voice was calm.

"I don't love anyone."

Jun Zechen pursed his thin lips, his expression looked particularly cold and hard, and his voice was low, as if he was declaring an unchangeable fact.

"You don't love anyone. What a great way to not love anyone. Then do you love Su Jingyao now?" Ling Yue asked disdainfully.

Jun Zechen still didn't speak.

love?

This word circled in his mind, but made him confused.

He doesn't know.

But for Jun Zechen, liking a woman is like liking a pet. Su Jingyao is his favorite now. He can tolerate her willfulness and coquettishness, pamper her and protect her, because it is harmless to him.

Even if he gave her the position of empress, Su Jingyao had the best family background and character. Even if he didn't like Su Jingyao, if Ling Yue was not there, Jun Zechen might have chosen to let Su Jingyao become empress.

Ling Yue looked at Jun Zechen in front of her, as if she saw Jun Zechen who had not yet realized her feelings in her previous life.

In her previous life, Ling Yue had clearly felt Jun Zechen's love for Su Jingyao, but without Jun Zechen himself realizing it, she took advantage of Jun Zechen's guilt to make him promise her again and again.

But in the end, Jun Zechen still found that the person he loved the most was Su Jingyao, and all the promises he made to her were nothing in front of Su Jingyao.

Ling Yue suddenly broke down and yelled, "You are obviously not him, why do you also fall in love with Su Jingyao? Why do you all love her? Why!"

Her face was extremely distorted, her eyes were red, tears were flowing freely across her twisted cheeks, her voice was hoarse, and the whole person seemed to be caught in a whirlpool of madness.

Jun Zechen frowned and looked at the somewhat crazy Ling Yue.

he?

Is it Jun Zechen from Ling Yue’s previous life?

"Did you have a grudge against the concubine in your previous life?"

Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of inquiry.

"Of course there is hatred. The concubine is very scheming. She won his heart step by step. Not only did she pretend to be someone else, she also used others to set up countless traps to frame me. When he ascended the throne, I was demoted to a concubine. In the end, it was Su Jingyao who became the empress!"

Endless resentment and anger burst out.

"She stole my husband and even killed my father! Tell me, do I have a deep hatred for her?"

Jun Zechen simply couldn't connect the person Ling Yue mentioned with Su Jingyao.

But the world he was reborn into doesn't seem to be the same world as his previous life. Maybe it's a parallel world?

Because both Ling Yue and Su Jingyao are very different from his previous life.

Is it his soul that replaced Jun Zechen in this world?

Jun Zechen fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed.

No wonder the Su Jingyao in this world is so different from the Su Jingyao he saw in his previous life.

Since he has occupied Jun Zechen's body in this world, Su Jingyao can only be his, and the so-called "he" is not worthy of owning her.

But...does Su Jingyao have any memories of her previous life?

When she first entered the East Palace, she showed that she liked him very much, and even made things difficult for Ling Yue. Could it be because she had the same memories of her past life as Ling Yue? Then who did she like!

Jun Zechen's eyes were dark like a whirlpool.
