Chapter 250 Nightmare

Ling Yue stared blankly at Su Jingyao's receding figure, her eyes full of complexity.

She didn't know why she had become so stubborn. She knew in her heart that she was no match for Su Jingyao in every aspect, but she still wanted to compete with her like a moth to a flame.

In the end, you just bring shame upon yourself again and again.

but......

She just doesn't want Su Jingyao to have an easy time!

Ling Yue slowly lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the water in the teacup in front of him. His eyes were empty and lifeless. He just stared at it blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Yaqin, who was invited earlier, walked out slowly and quietly.

Her usually calm and gentle face was now filled with doubts, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were full of confusion.

Why couldn't she understand the conversation between the Crown Princess and the Concubine?

What do you mean I don’t know how long the Crown Princess lived?

What is the past of the Crown Princess and the Concubine?

If she remembered correctly, the concubine had not been in the Eastern Palace for long.

What are the memories of the previous life?

She knew what the words "last life" meant, but she couldn't believe it.

But what shocked her the most was that the Crown Prince actually wanted the Crown Princess to leave the palace after a month!

The reason is to make room for the concubine to become the future queen!

Although His Highness favored only the concubines when she first entered the East Palace, and only began to favor them when the concubines became pregnant, she knew that His Highness the Crown Prince loved the concubines very much.

But I didn't expect that it had reached the point where he favored concubines and killed his wife.

Why did the Crown Princess call her over today?

The Crown Princess has a grudge against the Concubine, and now she is about to be sent out of the palace. Her future is bleak. Ye Yaqin doesn't think there is any benefit for her to cooperate with her.

"The Crown Princess asked me to listen to your conversation with the Concubine today. What is her intention?"

Ye Yaqin looked down at Ling Yue with a wary tone in her voice.

When Ling Yue heard Ye Yaqin's voice, her originally scattered eyes began to slowly focus.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Ye Yaqin, looking a little tired.

"Ye Liangdi, please sit down."

Ling Yue said weakly, and gestured to the seat next to him.

"Regarding the fact that the concubine will become your highness's future empress, does Ye Liangdi have anything to say?"

"Your Highness will naturally decide who will be the future Empress. Since entering the East Palace, everyone can see that Your Highness loves the Concubine. It is not surprising that the Concubine becomes Empress."

Ye Yaqin frowned slightly, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a perfect smile, and her tone was calm and gentle.

She folded her hands in front of her, her posture was dignified, but her eyes were full of caution.

Ye Yaqin was brought up by the Ye family since she was young, so naturally she would not reveal her thoughts in a situation where she didn't know whether the other party was an enemy or a friend. Even if she was surprised by His Highness's attitude of favoring concubines over his wife, she would not show it.

"I asked you to come here today, not only to tell you that Su Jingyao will soon become the queen, but also to make you believe that I know some endings that you don't know."

Ling Yue's voice was low and slow, full of mystery.

Ye Yaqin frowned. What exactly did the Crown Princess want to say? Was there really such a thing as a previous life?

She remained silent. Rebirth was too shocking for her. It was no longer a question of belief or not. It completely shattered her cognition.

"As the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, you married into the Eastern Palace for the position of empress. I called you here today for a simple reason: to kill Su Jingyao."

Ling Yue's eyes suddenly became extremely vicious, as if they wanted to devour people.

"I have no grudge against the concubine, why should I help you?"

Ye Yaqin's brows furrowed even more tightly, and disdain flashed in her eyes.

Is the Crown Princess so stupid?

Even if she wanted to deal with Su Jingyao, she wouldn't do it at this critical moment.

"No grudges? If you don't kill Su Jingyao, your entire Ye family will die."

Ling Yue's voice suddenly became louder and his expression became fierce.

In the previous life, the Ye family was wiped out. Ye Yaqin asked her to cooperate. She learned some inside stories. Jun Zechen cooperated with the Su family to confuse the Ye family. In the end, the entire Ye family was wiped out.

A crack suddenly appeared on Ye Yaqin's face, which had always been calm and composed.

Her expression became extremely serious, and she said sternly, "Why should I trust you?"

"In your previous life, your Ye family trained soldiers privately, recruited soldiers and bought horses, but was wiped out by Jun Zechen."

"Jun Zechen wants to unify the world. He can either take over the power of the Su family after ascending the throne, or integrate the military power of the Ye family."

Ling Yue stared at Ye Yaqin intently, with madness in his eyes.

"At the beginning of his last life, Jun Zechen was originally prepared to deal with the Su family, and even had a secret letter as proof. But later, Su Jingyao entered the East Palace, Jun Zechen fell in love with her, and changed his plan for her."

"Your Ye family has become Jun Zechen's target."

Ling Yue didn't say anything more, and Ye Yaqin's heart sank even more.

He seemed to have heard his father mention some secret letter, and even because of this, his father did not take the Su family seriously at all, and let her enter the prince's backyard to compete for the position of queen that would bring honor to the family.

Ling Yue looked at Ye Yaqin's increasingly serious expression and sneered.

"Jun Zechen dotes on Su Jingyao even more in this life. Your Ye family may have become a thorn in Jun Zechen's eyes. Before long, the eldest lady of the Ye family will become a criminal."

Although Ye Yaqin is very mature at a young age, she is only sixteen years old.

After hearing the news, her heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, and even her breathing became rapid.

Ling Yue showed a proud look on his face. He calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

She just wanted to make Ye Yaqin and Su Jingyao fight each other. Now Jun Zechen couldn't easily touch the Ye family. If Ye Yaqin killed Su Jingyao as soon as possible, perhaps Jun Zechen would not dare to touch Ye Yaqin. After all, Jun Zechen had not yet recovered the military power of the Ye family.

If it was later, after Jun Zechen ascended the throne and integrated the court, the Ye family would be the real fish on the chopping board.

No matter who wins or loses between the two, Ling Yue is happy.

In her previous life, Ye Yaqin used her father to trick her into murdering Su Jingyao. She remembered clearly that it would be best if both of them were enemies.

Ling Yue seemed to have anticipated the fight between Ye Yaqin and Su Jingyao, and she really hoped to hear the news of the new empress's death outside the palace.

At this moment, Ye Yaqin was completely at a loss and didn't know what to say.

This matter is not for her to decide, she must ask her father first.

"Crown Princess, I will pretend that I have not heard anything you said today. I will take my leave."

Ye Yaqin took a deep breath to calm herself, bowed slightly, turned around and left. Her steps were hurried and she no longer had the steady manner she had when she came.

At night, the night was as dark as water, and Jun Zechen walked under the moonlight to the Shuening Palace.

Because Su Jingyao was pregnant, apart from necessary walking, she just liked to lie in bed most of the time.

It is already December, and it is freezing outside with snow and howling cold winds.

Even with the dragons burning in the palace, it was still difficult to dispel the slight chill.

She was lying on the bed with her long hair casually spread out like a waterfall, and her face was smooth and delicate, like white jade.

The quilt covered her waist and abdomen. She was leaning against the head of the bed, holding a book in her hands, reading intently.

Jun Zechen tiptoed into the bedroom and slowly opened the bed curtains.

Su Jingyao raised her eyes when she heard the voice, and Jun Zechen's figure was reflected in her watery eyes.

"Your Highness."

Her tone was gentle. She was already used to his behavior of coming in without informing anyone, and there was no surprise on her face.

Jun Zechen had just come in from outside, still feeling cold.

He took off his outer robe neatly, walked to the brazier, stretched out his hands to warm them, and only got into bed after his hands had regained some temperature.

"Did your child bother you today?"

Jun Zechen's eyes fell on Su Jingyao's slightly bulging belly.

"No, I'm very good."

Su Jingyao gently placed her hand on her belly, a faint smile on her face, as gentle as water, as if it could melt the cold of winter.

After Jun Zechen got on the bed, he gently held Su Jingyao in his arms. She leaned on his shoulder and found a comfortable position.

Su Jingyao couldn't see Jun Zechen's expression. His deep eyes seemed to hide some unspeakable thoughts.

After chatting with Ling Yue yesterday, he kept thinking about what Ling Yue said about his previous life. He also carefully recalled Su Jingyao's various behaviors after entering the East Palace, and compared them with the Su Jingyao in his memory of his previous life. His mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, like a tangled mess, so he never came to Shuining Palace.

"When Jiaojiao first entered the palace, she was very hostile to the Crown Princess. Is there a reason for that?"

His voice rose slowly from above Su Jingyao's head, with a hint of exploration.

"I and the Crown Princess are at odds?"

Su Jingyao suddenly got up from his arms, turned her head, and stared at him with her beautiful eyes, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her expression.

"It's obviously the Crown Princess targeting me!"

"I'm just asking."

Jun Zechen quickly spoke to comfort her, and at the same time reached out and gently touched her belly.

She is becoming more and more spoiled now. She will be unhappy if she gets told something that doesn't please her.

"Does Jiaojiao know why the Crown Princess is targeting you?"

Jun Zechen continued to ask seemingly casually.

Su Jingyao lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. Why did she feel like the old man was testing her?

Could it be that Ling Yue said something to him yesterday?

"Of course it's because of your Highness's favor. It's because of your Highness's immense power and handsomeness that he captures the hearts of all women." Su Jingyao said coquettishly.

Seducing all the women's hearts? If she falls in love with this girl, she will also seduce all the men who have seen her.

"I only care about whether I can win Jiaojiao's heart."

Jun Zechen's heart suddenly tightened, and his eyes became deeper.

Maybe he was overthinking it.

She has no memory of the past, and it is true that she likes him.

Su Jingyao didn't expect Jun Zechen to suddenly say sweet words to her. Then she curled the corners of her mouth, and gently stroked his Adam's apple with a pair of small hands. Her eyes were charming and full of endless temptation.

"Your Highness, the answer is very long. I will spend my whole life to answer it. Your Highness, are you willing to listen?"

Jun Zechen was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

"With pleasure."

A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

The two of them hugged each other tenderly for a while. After Su Jingyao became pregnant, her energy was running low. She gradually felt sleepy, her eyelids became heavier, and she fell asleep soon.

Jun Zechen also got used to holding her to sleep, feeling her even breathing, kissing her forehead, and slowly closing his eyes.

In the darkness, there was only a candle covered by a lampshade flickering faintly.

The candle flame burned shorter and shorter, and the light and shadow flickered, illuminating the faces of the two people.

Both of them were breathing lightly and sleeping soundly.

In the silent palace, even the slightest sound of wind could be heard clearly, but suddenly a soft crying voice was heard.

The sound was like a wisp of smoke, breaking the tranquility.

Jun Zechen has always been a very light sleeper and would be woken up by the slightest noise.

When he opened his eyes, he saw in the dim light that the woman in his arms had her brows tightly furrowed, and her brows seemed to be twisted into a knot.

There seemed to be tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, and under the dim light, they looked like tiny pearls.

Jun Zechen suddenly became nervous.

Having a nightmare?

Just when I was about to wake her up, I heard her crying and speaking in grievance.

"Your Highness, why don't you tell me happy birthday, wuwu..."

Her voice was soft, nasal, and a little unclear, as if she was whispering in a dream.

However, Jun Zechen had sharp ears and sharp eyes, and could hear these subtle sounds clearly.

His face suddenly darkened, as if covered with dark clouds.

Her birthday this year had passed before she married into the Eastern Palace, so he naturally had no chance to wish her happy birthday.

Your Highness?

Could it be... another him? !

Thinking of this, Jun Zechen's eyes flashed with surprise, and his dark pupils stared straight at the woman in his arms, who had frowned and was still immersed in a nightmare.
