"Miaoyun, go and bring Ling over." Su Jingyao ordered.
Then he said to Li Jing, "You go down first."
Li Jing responded respectfully and retreated.
When Ling Yue came over, she saw Su Jingyao sitting quietly on the bed with an expressionless face.
She stood in the center of the bedroom, with a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness on her face. She pursed her lips and did not speak or salute, looking unruly.
Seeing this, Xilu frowned, but she would not tolerate her rudeness.
He strode forward and mercilessly forced the man to his knees.
"Ling Yue, you said last night that your father died?"
Su Jingyao turned her head slightly and asked with a smile, but there was a sharp flash in her eyes.
Ling Yue frowned, with confusion and anger in his eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"Ling Yue, you hate me and want to kill me, and even harm the heir in my womb."
"This is such a heinous crime that even chopping off your father's head wouldn't be too much of a punishment. Even your father's unwavering integrity throughout his military career has been tarnished because of you. Are you happy?"
Su Jingyao curled up the corner of her mouth into a sarcastic smile and looked at Ling Yue with cold eyes.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My father has been killed by His Majesty. My father is dead!"
Ling Yue widened her eyes and yelled in disbelief, her face flushed red.
"If I convince myself, I can find comfort in my heart?"
"Ling Yue, you don't really care whether your father is alive or not. You just want to give yourself a reason to kill me."
Su Jingyao raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of disdain.
"Why do you use your thoughts to speculate about me? Isn't it all because of you that I became like this?"
Ling Yue looked at Su Jingyao hatefully, anger burning in her eyes and her teeth chattering.
"You became like this because I stole His Majesty? Because I stole your position as Queen?"
Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows, with a hint of contempt in her tone.
"Ling Yue, what makes you think all this is born to you? Your stupidity is not worthy of your greed."
Su Jingyao said coldly, her eyes full of frost.
"Are you trying to say that everything you did was instigated by others and that you were innocent all along?"
Su Jingyao continued, her expression not changing at all.
"However, you are greedy, you are despicable, you are foolish and ignorant, and you are also cruel at heart. Are you worthy of the position of queen?"
With every word Su Jingyao spoke, her eyes became colder.
When Ling Yue heard Su Jingyao's criticism of her, she looked like she wanted to pounce on Su Jingyao and bite her.
"Su Jingyao, you are the one who uses despicable means, and you are also the one with a vicious heart. When you first entered the Eastern Palace, you pretended to be innocent and weak, deceived me, framed me, and alienated the relationship between me and His Majesty. Later, you even took away my position as Queen!"
Ling Yue shouted hysterically, her voice sharp and piercing.
"Yes, so what? Since I have entered the East Palace and become the prince's wife, why shouldn't I compete for his favor?"
"Since I want to compete for your favor, I must do my best. I have taken your Majesty's heart. It is my ability. If you can't keep it, it is your incompetence."
Su Jingyao's voice was still faint, forming a sharp contrast with Ling Yue's hoarse voice.
But every word was like a sharp sword, piercing Ling Yue's heart.
"Yes, I am incompetent. I have been jealous of you since the first day you entered the East Palace. You have a good family background, beauty, and talent. You are what every man in the world likes."
"You have everything, why did you take away your majesty? I have nothing, and you took away the only thing I have."
Su Jingyao shook her head, her face now filled with boredom.
She really didn't want to say any more words to Ling Yue.
Only cowards will beg others to let them go, while smart people understand that they need to stop losses in time.
The moment Ling Yue knew that Jun Zechen didn't love her, she should have understood that she should not cling to illusory love.
Since you have chosen to fight for power in the court, you must have the courage to accept failure calmly.
Ultimately, you are responsible for your own life.
Should you choose to muddle through life, live a colorful life, or maintain a calm and relaxed attitude?
It all depends on yourself.
"I no longer wish to discuss this matter with you. I will give you two choices."
Su Jingyao's eyes were as indifferent as a calm lake, without any ripples.
But the words that came out of her mouth were chilling.
"Tell me who is behind this, and I will show mercy and grant you death."
"If you refuse to tell me, I will make you wish you were dead, and then I will take your father's head."
"Hahaha, do you think I'll tell you? I certainly failed this time, but I'm not the only one who hates you. There will always be someone who will pull you down from your high pedestal."
Ling Yue raised her head stubbornly and said this with a tough mouth, but her eyes clearly revealed a hint of panic.
If Daddy hadn't died, Your Majesty would never have allowed the Queen to act so recklessly.
She seemed to be still trying to grasp that unrealistic fantasy, but she didn't know that she was already in a desperate situation and couldn't extricate herself.
"Oh."
Su Jingyao curled up the corner of her mouth into a slight smile, with disdain in her laughter.
"It's Concubine Ye, right?"
The surprise in Ling Yue's eyes quickly spread.
How would she know?
"I wanted to give you a chance, but unfortunately you couldn't seize it."
