Cold Palace.
Jun Zechen stepped into this place he had never set foot in before, and every step seemed to carry a heavy breath.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around. The scene here was too desolate and dilapidated.
At this time, Ling Yue was wearing an extremely ordinary palace dress without any gorgeous decorations on it.
Her face was not made up at all, and she looked particularly haggard. Her hair was casually tied up with a simple silver hairpin that had almost no pattern on it.
When she saw Jun Zechen walk in, Ling Yue managed to pull up a sad smile with great difficulty, a smile filled with pain and sorrow.
"Your Majesty...are you willing to come and see me?"
Ling Yue's voice trembled slightly, as if saying this took all her strength.
Jun Zechen, however, was not moved at all by this. He was as calm as water and said in a low voice, "If I don't come to see you, the Queen and the First Prince will meet with an unexpected accident. Didn't you threaten me to come?"
"Your Majesty, do you have no feelings for me now? Will Your Majesty still remember the tenderness and love we once had?" Ling Yue's heart was dead, but she still hoped to arouse even a trace of pity from this man.
"You've been taking advantage of my guilt towards you and plotting every step of the way. Have you ever considered that this might wear away my feelings for you? What qualifications do you have to ask these questions now?"
Jun Zechen's voice was filled with indifference. He had already done his best for Ling Yue.
"Forget it, what's the point of saying this now?" Ling Yue smiled sadly.
Ling Yue then continued, "I threatened Your Majesty today simply because I wanted to see Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is naturally aware that the Queen is high above and holds power over the six palaces. How can a mere poor person like me hurt her?" Ling Yue's tone was full of self-mockery.
"Then why do you want to see me?" Jun Zechen's face showed a hint of impatience.
"I say that I was wrongly accused and that the Queen deliberately framed me. Your Majesty, are you willing to believe me?"
There was a hint of emptiness in Ling Yue's eyes, and her voice seemed to come from far away as she asked softly.
Jun Zechen remained silent, and Ling Yue felt an endless sadness in her heart.
"I do not ask Your Majesty to believe me, but could Your Majesty personally investigate and verify that the testimony of the Palace Justice Department is false!"
Ling Yue's voice gradually became louder, with a hint of urgency.
"Then tell me why the Queen wanted to harm the Third Prince. If the Queen wanted to harm the Third Prince, would he still be able to be born safely?"
If Yaoyao wanted to harm the Third Prince, why didn't she just let Concubine Chu have a miscarriage? Why go through all this trouble after giving birth?
"I have previously told the Queen that you will raise the Third Prince. This is my way of compensating you."
"The Queen is generous and kind. Even though the Second Prince had a miscarriage because of you, she never harmed you. Even when she knew I would adopt the Third Prince to you, she never did anything to harm him."
Jun Zechen's words were full of protection and trust for the queen.
Ling Yue took a deep breath, her chest heaving slightly, and a deep helplessness revealed in her eyes.
She knew very well that no matter what she said, His Majesty would firmly believe in the Queen.
"I never said it was the Queen who harmed the Third Prince. Rather, it was the Queen who used the Third Prince's case to try to get rid of me. The evidence from the Palace Justice Department is all false. Why is Your Majesty unwilling to investigate thoroughly?"
Ling Yue's voice trembled slightly, and her hands were tightly twisting the corners of her clothes.
The evidence provided by the Queen was maliciously fabricated. As long as Your Majesty is willing to investigate further, he will find that the mastermind behind the scenes is actually Concubine Lin, and he is just a pawn used by Concubine Lin.
He would also know that the queen had no ability to distinguish right from wrong and was truly unfit to be the queen.
That's why she tried every possible way to see His Majesty. If she allowed the Queen to make such a final judgment, she would never be able to leave the cold palace in her life.
"I trust all the decisions of the Queen. If you are just telling me this, I can see that you have no intention of repenting."
Jun Zechen said coldly, then he turned around resolutely and was about to walk out.
He was the one who personally issued the decree to depose Ling Yue. If he were to review the matter, how would Yaoyao view him?
The relationship between him and Yaoyao cannot withstand repeated separation.
If it turns out that Ling Yue was really wronged, wouldn't that be disadvantageous to Yaoyao?
But if it turns out that Ling Yue is not innocent, then his relationship with Yaoyao will be in jeopardy.
There was no way Jun Zechen would be willing to continue investigating.
Ling Yue suddenly knelt on the ground, and his knees hit the ground heavily with a dull sound.
Her face was full of disbelief. This man who had once made a vow to her was now so cruel. Did he really trust the Queen that much?
"Your Majesty, wait!" Ling Yue shouted anxiously.
"I have just sent for the Queen to come over. Judging by the time, the Queen should be here soon. I believe Your Majesty doesn't want the Queen to know that you have come to my place."
Ling Yue spoke slowly with a blank expression, her voice seemingly devoid of any emotion.
Jun Zechen turned around quickly, his dark eyes staring at Ling Yue as sharp as an eagle.
"Why did you call the Queen here?" His voice was low and full of majesty.
"Since Your Majesty trusts the Queen so much, why don't you listen to what the Queen has to say to me? Your Majesty, please go hide in the back. I won't let the Queen know you're here."
Ling Yue continued to speak calmly, without any expression on her face.
