Chapter 95 Concubine Ling Confessed
"Your Majesty, have you known about this place all along?" Su Jingyao asked, tilting her head.
"Well, there are generally no large wild beasts in this direction, and the participating teams will not come here. I also discovered this place accidentally before, and today I wanted to bring Yaoyao here to take a look." Jun Zechen explained patiently.
Su Jingyao turned around to face him, then stepped back step by step until her back was leaning against a big tree. She clasped her hands in front of her chest, with a faint smile on her lips.
"Your Majesty, I have also seen this scenery. How about we go back?"
Su Jingyao knew very well what this bastard was thinking and asked this deliberately.
Jun Zechen walked towards her step by step, and each step carried a hint of oppression.
When he walked in front of her, he whispered in her ear, "Okay, we'll go back later. I'll make Yaoyao more tired so that she can have a good rest when she goes back."
Su Jingyao glared at him fiercely with her beautiful eyes. This guy was talking dirty more and more fluently.
Jun Zechen had never thought that he would be so obsessed with a woman. Yes, he was obsessed with her. He was almost addicted to her.
Jun Zechen took a deep breath at her neck, the sweet smell intoxicated him.
Then, intensive kisses rained down on her body, but kisses alone could not quench her thirst, so he suddenly picked her up and Su Jingyao hugged his waist.
It was the first time for the two of them to make love in broad daylight. They were more agitated than usual, as if they wanted to merge each other into their bodies.
Half an hour later, Su Jingyao felt extremely uncomfortable all over, although she and Jun Zechen switched positions to avoid having her back hit by the tree.
However, after a long time, she still felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, I am really exhausted." Su Jingyao's voice was a little lazy and helpless.
In this regard, Su Jingyao had to admit that she had never had the upper hand in front of Jun Zechen.
She gently placed her head on his shoulder, and she felt as if she had lost all her strength, feeling limp, weak, and sore.
Jun Zechen held her gently and slowly lay down on the grass, but Su Jingyao was reluctant to lie directly on the ground, so she lay on top of him.
Jun Zechen smiled and asked softly, "Does this make you feel better?"
Su Jingyao's long, shiny black hair had just been spread out by Jun Zechen, and now the inky hair was scattered on her back and Jun Zechen's chest.
The absolutely beautiful face was very close to him, and her charming appearance was like that of an enchanting fairy.
Jun Zechen tucked her hair behind her ears, his eyes full of infinite depth, "Yaoyao, how can you be so beautiful?"
Let him get addicted to it and cannot stop.
He will definitely not let her go easily today!
Another half an hour passed before Su Jingyao's seductive moans gradually stopped, leaving only rapid panting.
She really had no strength left at this moment.
Jun Zechen carefully helped her tidy up her clothes, then carried her back on the horse and returned to the tent together.
After Su Jingyao was put on the bed by him, she fell into a deep sleep. When Miaoxia helped her change clothes, she did not react at all. It seemed that she was really tired.
Jun Zechen walked out of her tent. The moment he stepped out, his originally gentle face seemed to be switched and instantly became extremely stern, as if he was wearing a cold mask.
He walked straight to the bank where he handled his affairs, and Fuquan followed him in.
After entering the bank account, Jun Zechen sat upright on the chair, exuding an aura of majesty without even being angry.
"Tell me, what happened to the horse today?"
"Your Majesty, I have interrogated all the servants at the stables... In short, Concubine Ling's horse was drugged by Concubine Lin yesterday, and Concubine Lin's horse was drugged by Concubine Ling today."
Fuquan recounted how Concubine Lin and Concubine Ling had concealed the truth from the people at the stable and how they had put the drugs into the horse feed. After he finished speaking, he carefully raised his head and glanced at His Majesty, feeling a little uneasy.
The incident with Concubine Lin yesterday was all in the past. What on earth was Concubine Ling up to? She even involved the Imperial Concubine.
Jun Zechen's face was gloomy and cold. He really didn't understand what Concubine Ling was trying to do by doing this today!
After pondering for a moment, he stood up abruptly, raised his legs and strode towards Concubine Ling's tent.
When Concubine Ling saw Jun Zechen coming in, her expression was still as calm as water, without the slightest disturbance, as if she had expected it.
She stood up calmly, then bowed gracefully, performing a standard greeting in a steady voice.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
Jun Zechen had no intention of playing around with her and asked directly, his voice so cold that it seemed to freeze the air.
"Did you drug Concubine Lin's horse today?"
Concubine Ling knew clearly that he was here to call her to task, so she knelt down obediently.
With tears in her eyes, she raised her head slightly and looked at the man who was standing high above her. Her voice was trembling a little, but also with a hint of determination: "Yes."
"I drugged Concubine Lin's horse and followed the Imperial Concubine all the time. I had drugs on me that made the horse go crazy, so when Concubine Lin's horse passed by the Imperial Concubine, the horse would smell the smell and attack the Imperial Concubine."
When Concubine Ling said these words, there was a look of determination on her face, and she told all her plans.
Jun Zechen frowned and asked in a low voice, "Why did you do this?"
If she wanted to hurt Yaoyao, why would she save her?
If she wanted to frame Concubine Lin, Jun Zechen would be able to find out her clumsy means with just a little investigation.
"Why?" Concubine Ling's face was instantly filled with despair, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Yesterday, Concubine Lin drugged my horse. Since Your Majesty has interrogated the servants at the stable today, I'm sure you've found out everything."
She paused, then continued, "If I don't involve the Royal Concubine, would Your Majesty be willing to investigate?"
"I have never intended to harm anyone. I just want Your Majesty to clear my name."
Concubine Ling spoke so pitifully, she revealed everything so frankly and nakedly just to stir up the remaining guilt and pity in His Majesty's heart.
Then, she continued, "I have never thought of harming the Imperial Concubine, but..."
Concubine Ling's voice trembled slightly, carrying endless sorrow.
"I have no power and influence now, nor do I have your favor. I can't even find out who is harming me. I can only use such a stupid way to wash away my stigma. I don't want to make your Majesty's image of me look worse."
When Concubine Ling said these words, she looked humble and aggrieved, and her look was really heartbreaking.
Jun Zechen looked at her quietly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a while, he slowly said, "Stand up. I will deal with Concubine Lin. You should also have less contact with them. As long as you behave yourself in the harem, I will not treat you unfairly. Don't do unnecessary things."
Concubine Ling wiped her tears, stood up, and replied meekly, "Yes, I understand."
Concubine Ling watched Jun Zechen walk out of the tent, and her face instantly regained its composure. Now she was too passive, and she had to restore His Majesty's trust in her step by step.
Jun Zechen walked out of Concubine Ling's tent with heavy steps and a confused look on his face. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with this matter.
Now that the truth has been fully revealed, it would be unjustifiable if Concubine Lin were not punished.
He looked obviously annoyed and his eyes were full of impatience as he shouted in a low voice.
"Fuquan, inform Concubine Lin to confine her to her quarters for half a month and deduct half a year's salary. Don't even think about coming out during the next few days. Reflect on yourself."
As he said this, Jun Zechen's face turned gloomy, and the irritability between his brows became more and more obvious.
Can't these women be quiet and honest? They just scheme all day long.
He did not punish them severely because both Concubine Lin and today's Concubine Ling were framing others by hurting themselves, but it was just to arouse the sympathy in his heart and make him hate those who were being schemed against.
But Jun Zechen looked at all this and found it extremely ridiculous.
Jun Zechen doesn't like the feeling of being plotted against. Concubine Ling's behavior today made him feel a little bit reluctant. After all, she was his first wife.
However, what Concubine Ling did today was not only a plot against Concubine Lin, but also a plot against him.
If she had been a little smarter, this matter might have ended here. He didn't want to disrupt the situation in the harem for the time being. The former dynasty and the harem were closely connected. If Concubine Lin hadn't committed any serious mistakes, he wouldn't abandon her easily.
However, Concubine Ling was only concerned with clearing herself of the injustice she had suffered, and had never thought from his perspective.
Today's farce will only make him embarrassed.
Fuquan responded but was secretly thinking in his heart.
Such a punishment is equivalent to no punishment. Your Majesty, aren't you encouraging Concubine Lin's arrogance?
Everyone in the harem knew that Concubine Lin came from Jincheng and had no shortage of money. How would Concubine Ling feel when she heard how His Majesty punished Concubine Lin?
Fuquan was somewhat puzzled by His Majesty's actions, but he had no right to question His Majesty.
He just lowered his head slightly, with a submissive expression on his face, and stood quietly aside.
