Jun Zechen's extremely gentle call was like a breeze blowing by, but it did not elicit even the slightest response from Su Jingyao.
She was immersed in her own emotions, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.
Jun Zechen sat on the edge of the bed, glanced at the palace servants around him who were lowering their heads, and said in a low voice: "Everyone get out."
Soon after he finished speaking, Jun Zechen and Su Jingyao were the only two people left in the huge bedroom.
Su Jingyao's hands tightly grasped the quilt, and her whole body curled up in a hugging position.
She lowered her head, her long hair falling down, covering her face, and she didn't even look at the man next to her.
A trace of pain flashed in Jun Zechen's eyes, and he sighed softly, but his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, causing him to hurt in waves.
"I promised Yaoyao that I would never deal with the Su family. As for the contraceptive pills, it's because Yaoyao gave birth to the eldest prince not long ago and had a miscarriage some time ago. Your body is really not suitable for pregnancy again."
"Yaoyao is still young. I asked Doctor Li to take care of your health. Yaoyao and I will definitely have many children in the future." Jun Zechen's voice was full of earnestness and tenderness.
Su Jingyao still kept her head down. No matter what he said, she was stubborn and refused to believe it.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain to me. You might have another excuse when you face Concubine Ye. Now that Concubine Ye is pregnant, Your Majesty should go and see her."
Her voice was very low, with a hint of sadness.
"I have no other requests, and I don't understand the complicated tactics used by Your Majesty in the court. My brother once said that Your Majesty is very ambitious and is an emperor who is feared and admired. I only hope that Your Majesty can let the Su family go in the end." Su Jingyao said in a low voice.
Jun Zechen frowned and looked at her steadily. Seeing that she seemed to be completely oblivious to his words, his heart was filled with sadness and powerlessness.
The power of the Ye family would eventually be taken over and controlled by him, so he never asked Concubine Ye to use contraception.
Because in his opinion, Concubine Ye was just an ordinary concubine without a powerful family background, and even if she gave birth to a prince, it would not pose any threat to Yaoyao.
What's more, if Concubine Ye gave birth to a prince, the fight between Concubine Lin and Concubine Ye would inevitably become more intense.
In this way, Yaoyao will be safer in the harem.
But Jun Zechen didn't want to tell her these complicated thoughts.
Now Yaoyao already feels that his favor for her is all a conspiracy. If he tells her truthfully about his schemes against Concubine Ye and Concubine Lin, how will Yaoyao view him?
Jun Zechen didn't want to expose his deep methods in front of her. He just wanted to be a fair and majestic emperor and a gentle and caring husband in her heart forever.
If he explained everything to her, would Yaoyao be even more afraid of him, thinking that he had schemed against all the women in the harem, including her...
Jun Zechen's eyes were full of confusion and helplessness. He didn't know how to explain all this.
Finally, he just sighed deeply and said slowly: "I promise Yaoyao that I will never harm the Su family."
Su Jingyao nodded slightly, then said softly: "Your Majesty, I want to rest."
Seeing her indifferent look, Jun Zechen's voice unconsciously became higher.
"Is it true that no matter what I say now, Yaoyao will no longer believe me?"
His heart was filled with pain from being misunderstood by her, but now was the critical period of finishing off the Ye family, and the drama of the Su family had to continue.
Why couldn't she trust him?
When Su Jingyao heard his suddenly high voice, her body trembled involuntarily and she silently shrank back into the bed.
"Yes...I'm sorry, I believe Your Majesty..."
There was a barely perceptible sob in her voice, her pupils were filled with fear of him, and she looked extremely pitiful.
When Jun Zechen saw her like this, he suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that he had spoken too loudly just now.
She was already furious about the Su family's affairs today, and now she couldn't stand any more provocation.
"I will accompany Yaoyao to rest tonight." Jun Zechen's voice was gentle, but with a hint of unquestionable determination.
Then, he held her in his arms very forcefully and lay down on the bed together.
Su Jingyao's body stiffened instantly, but she didn't dare to resist.
Time passed slowly minute by minute, and Jun Zechen felt that the delicate body in his arms had been extremely stiff since he held her, and there had been no change until now.
He knew she was still awake.
He sighed helplessly again, then slowly let her go.
"Yaoyao, have a good rest. I will come to see you tomorrow."
After saying that, he slowly stood up, turned around and left.
If I don't leave, she's afraid she won't be able to sleep and will always be on guard against me.
After Jun Zechen left, Miaoyun walked in.
At this time, Su Jingyao had already sat up and leaned against the head of the bed, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, which was a bit unfathomable.
Miaoyun walked quickly to the bedside with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Master, how did you know that Concubine Ye would definitely tell you today that the Su family was imprisoned by His Majesty?"
The master has been staying quietly in Zhaochun Palace recently, deliberately creating an illusion of being depressed.
And the so-called bad pulse was just a fabrication made up by Doctor Jin.
Miaoyun knew clearly that her master had been looking for a fuse to completely cause trouble with the emperor. Although Miaoyun didn't know why her master did this, when she saw the emperor's distressed look, she knew that her master was doing the right thing.
