Chapter 248 Ling Yue Invitation

Jun Zechen, who was sitting in the first seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze like a sharp eagle, staring at Ling Yue with undisguised scrutiny.

"Since God has given you a new life, you can choose to live a good life. No matter what happened in your last life, it has nothing to do with this life. I will ask you again, if I allow you to be free, are you willing?"

Jun Zechen's voice was low and unquestionable.

"Oh, what if I don't want to? What if I want to? Have you ever given me a choice?"

Ling Yue sneered, his laughter full of sorrow.

She raised her head and looked straight at Jun Zechen, anger and unwillingness in her eyes.

Jun Zechen was silent for a while, his eyes were as cold as usual, like an icy lake in the cold night, without a trace of warmth.

"Now that the concubine is pregnant, I don't care about the entanglement between you and her in your past life, but your hatred for her is the biggest threat to her."

His tone grew colder.

"I will never allow you to hurt her. Whether you like it or not, you will not be my future queen. If you want freedom, I will give you the documents of confinement, and you can go to any city you want."

Jun Zechen's expression was serious and resolute. He raised his chin slightly, revealing an irresistible aura.

"If you don't want freedom, then go to Chonghua Temple and practice for the rest of your life."

Jun Zechen's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Ling Yue's heart hard.

Ling Yue completely lost his strength, as if all his energy had been drained out of him.

Every word Jun Zechen uttered seemed to carry sharp ice chips, ruthlessly scratching her skin and making her shiver all over.

He didn't give her a choice.

Her rebirth was not to live such an ordinary life. What she wanted was revenge. She wanted to see Su Jingyao die a miserable death.

The raging fire of revenge raged in her heart, making her unable to calm down.

After her rebirth, her strength to live is entirely supported by hatred. She wants power and wants to kill her enemies with her own hands, and she will do anything to achieve this.

Ling Yue's knuckles turned white from the force of his clenched fists.

Why, why is Su Jingyao so lucky? No matter which world, no matter which Jun Zechen, they all love and protect her.

Ling Yue's eyes were filled with jealousy, tears welled up in her eye sockets but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

Even if she was reborn, she could not resist the imperial power. Su Jingyao was under the protection of Jun Zechen, and she could not hurt her at all.

Ling Yue could only suppress all the resentment in her heart. Now she had nothing to lose and was not afraid of losing anything more. She would not sit and wait for death.

Now that His Majesty is about to pass away and Su Jingyao's belly is getting bigger and bigger, Jun Zechen cannot let Su Jingyao stay in the palace in order to support her to become the empress and to protect her and her unborn child.

In that case, what's wrong with leaving?

Even if she leaves, she will give Su Jingyao a big gift.

Ling Yue lowered his head, his eyes became sinister and fierce, and he was secretly planning his next move in his mind.

Jun Zechen also gave her enough time to think.

When Ling Yue raised her head again, her jealous eyes had turned calm, like a calm lake.

“I choose freedom.”

Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had made a great determination.

Jun Zechen's expression remained calm, as if all this was within his expectations.

"Okay, I'll have someone give you the official documents, and you don't have to worry about the gold and silver. I'll give you a royal booklet that will allow you to withdraw money from various banks, but there will be a fixed limit every month."

Jun Zechen's tone was cold, without a trace of emotion.

Ling Yue sneered in his heart.

Everything was arranged clearly for her.

"When do I leave the palace?"

Ling Yue asked expressionlessly, his eyes were so empty that they seemed to have lost focus.

"In a month."

Jun Zechen answered crisply and clearly.

Since Ling Yue chose to leave, he gave her a decent death by claiming she died of an illness. One month would be enough to silence the public.

However, in order to prevent Ling Yue from having more obsessive thoughts during this month, Jun Zechen will keep a close eye on her until she leaves the palace and the capital.

"Before we leave, can I meet Su Jingyao?" Ling Yue asked calmly.

"You can send a maid to ask her. If she wants to see you, I will not hinder her."

After Jun Zechen finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.

After he left, Meixiang walked in panicked, her face full of worry.

She didn't know what had happened between the Crown Prince and his master. Why had the relationship between them become so strained less than a year after the concubine entered the Eastern Palace?

Meixiang saw her master sitting on the chair in a daze, like a puppet without support, and she felt even more uneasy.

"Master, what did His Highness say?"

Meixiang asked cautiously with a trembling voice.

"Meixiang, I lost, badly, but I won't accept it."

Ling Yue's voice was so hollow that it seemed to come from another world. His eyes were lifeless as he stared blankly ahead.

Meixiang was panic-stricken.

"Master, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?"

In fact, Meixiang didn't understand why the master targeted the concubine as soon as she entered the East Palace and even wanted to frame her.

"Meixiang, I hate her."

Ling Yue said this through gritted teeth, his expression twisted and distorted.

Meixiang looked at her master worriedly.

"Why?"

"My Lord, you are already the Crown Princess. As long as you are magnanimous and considerate, His Highness will not treat you badly, considering your past friendship."

Meixiang tried to persuade her master that the current master was too stubborn and she didn't know what had happened between her master and the concubine.

Ling Yue shook her head, her movements slow and weak.

Meixiang knows nothing and is innocent.

When she leaves the palace, she will find a good place for Meixiang.

"Meixiang, go to Shuining Palace and tell her that I want to invite Concubine to have lunch at Qiluan Palace tomorrow at noon."

There was no fluctuation in Ling Yue's tone.

Meixiang didn't understand, but seeing her master's expression, she knew she wouldn't get anything out of him.

"Yes, Master."

Meixiang responded, turned around and left, feeling worried and not knowing what to do. She was just a servant.

Why.

Su Jingyao was a little surprised when she received Ling Yue's invitation.

After entering the East Palace for nearly a year, Su Jingyao naturally had some people under her control.

She knew a little about Jun Zechen's whereabouts after returning to the East Palace every day, and she also knew that Jun Zechen went to Qiluan Palace today.

After Jun Zechen looked for her, Ling Yue asked her out for lunch tomorrow. What was her intention?

Did Jun Zechen and Ling Yue talk about anything?

Although curiosity killed the cat, Su Jingyao also knew that she was pregnant and it was not appropriate for her to go out, let alone accept the invitation from Ling Yue who seemed to hate her to the core.

But Su Jingyao was full of curiosity about both Jun Zechen's memories and Ling Yue's memories.

Although Su Jingyao's memory of Jun Zechen's previous life was not particularly clear, she had read the novel and had a general understanding of the direction of Jun Zechen's development in his previous life.

However, Ling Yue's life seemed completely different from what was described in the book. Su Jingyao couldn't resist her curiosity about her experiences.
