The moment Jun Zechen heard this, he was so shocked that he froze in place.
His mind quickly recalled that he had just talked about chrysanthemums with Yaoyao when he came to Kunning Palace yesterday.
At that time, the pot of chrysanthemums was placed on the dining table, so close to Yaoyao!
After the shock, Jun Zechen suddenly felt an indescribable fear in his heart. He had carefully cultivated those chrysanthemums in the greenhouse at Concubine Shu's request...
Jun Zechen slowly turned his head and looked at Su Jingyao.
Su Jingyao's eyes seemed a little empty at this moment, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a bitter chuckle.
"If Your Majesty doesn't like my child, I won't have any more. But now that this child is here, Your Majesty, please allow me to give birth to it."
"You suspect I did it? Is this the kind of person I am in your mind now?"
There was a hint of disbelief in Jun Zechen's voice.
Su Jingyao closed her eyes.
If she wasn't so rational, it would be easy for her to misunderstand like this!
He showed great favor to Concubine Shu and sent some gifts to Kunning Palace as a token of his affection.
The chrysanthemums he used to please his favorite concubine contained musk, which almost caused her to have a miscarriage.
What's wrong with Su Jingyao thinking this way?
"I know nothing. I am just a woman in the deep palace and cannot see through Your Majesty."
"I don't know whether you want to deal with the Su family or pave the way for your favorite concubine. No matter what the reason is, I only ask Your Majesty to let me give birth to this child."
Su Jingyao's words were decisive and cold, and there was no trace of trust in Jun Zechen in her words.
Every word was like a sharp knife, piercing Jun Zechen's heart.
Jun Zechen gritted his teeth, and the veins in his temples were throbbing.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it was done by Concubine Shu, I will kill her and give Yaoyao an explanation."
"Yaoyao, have a good rest."
Jun Zechen's voice was low and hoarse, his heart was almost broken into pieces because of Su Jingyao's suspicion.
After saying that, Jun Zechen turned around, walked quickly towards the door with slightly heavy steps.
"His Majesty."
Su Jingyao called out softly, her voice seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
Jun Zechen paused and froze in place.
Su Jingyao continued slowly, "It's true that I was once filled with joy because of Your Majesty, but it's also true that I'm disheartened now."
"If I can't be your Majesty's preference and exception, it seems that all my persistence is meaningless."
There was a hint of sadness on her face, and a trace of sorrow in her eyes.
He lowered his eyes slightly, as if recalling the good times of the past and the helplessness of the present.
"I will be a good queen to your majesty. Perhaps, it is best for your majesty and I to let go of everything we once had."
Su Jingyao raised her head and looked straight at Jun Zechen's back with determination in her eyes.
"Your Majesty is so high and mighty, and you have so many women like me who are devoted to you. It seems that it is not a big deal if I am not so fond of you."
"I only wish to keep this heart well sealed and never let it be hurt again. I beg Your Majesty to grant me this."
Her voice trembled slightly, and every word seemed to be spoken with all her strength.
Jun Zechen just stood there motionless, his whole body seemed to become extremely stiff at this moment.
His lips trembled slightly, but no words came out. What else could he say?
Had he not expressed his love for her enough? Had he not made enough promises to her?
But she didn't believe him at all.
She said that he had many women who loved him wholeheartedly, but the only true love he wanted was hers.
Jun Zechen never expected that he would be caught in such an emotional vortex.
It turns out that there really is such a person who can break all his principles and bottom lines, and can make him put aside his self-esteem and do whatever it takes.
A trace of pain and struggle suddenly flashed in Jun Zechen's eyes, and his hands clenched into fists at his sides.
No matter whether Su Jingyao brought him joy or pain, Jun Zechen accepted it calmly.
But the only thing he couldn't accept was her running away.
Jun Zechen only wanted to find out the truth at this moment. He would never allow the ending between him and her to end in this way.
He didn't want her to be just his queen.
Afterwards, Jun Zechen did not respond to Su Jingyao's words and walked out with big strides.
Su Jingyao watched Jun Zechen's back as he left. After he completely left, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She slowly sat up and leaned against the head of the bed. There was no trace of physical discomfort on her face, but instead a sense of calmness and confidence.
Jun Zechen is hers, and the position of queen is hers.
The future emperor of Junguo will be her son, and the most noble woman in Junguo will only be her, Su Jingyao.
Perhaps it was because Jun Zechen really had a place for her in his heart, and Jun Zechen also had an ambitious desire to expand his territory, which she also admired.
Su Jingyao is willing to train such a man, but it is better for him to be clean as her man.
Women in ancient times might be able to accept a man having many women, but Su Jingyao could not accept it.
Since Jun Zechen greedily wants her heart, he must let her see his sincerity.
Maybe she'd be willing to pretend after all.
