Chapter 153 Showdown



After Su Jingyao heard this, her eyes flickered slightly. At that moment, there seemed to be a flash of surprise in her eyes, and tears of emotion welled up in her eyes.

It’s no big deal to make a man fall in love with you, but Su Jingyao’s goal is to make a man love you forever.

Su Jingyao will always treat this relationship soberly and rationally.

She needs him to sink, but she will never sink. Their identities and status determine that Su Jingyao does not have the courage and determination to offer her whole heart.

She can't afford to lose.

Then the corners of her mouth raised, and her smile was as bright and charming as a blooming spring flower.

She gently moved her red lips forward, then left as quickly as a dragonfly touching the water.

"How can your Majesty be so kind?"

She looked at him with a pair of innocent big eyes, her eyes were as clear as water and a little playful.

She tilted her head slightly and asked, "What about the Qingping County Lady?"

Jun Zechen's expression was slightly solemn.

It's indeed a bit difficult.

Qi Wanyin was not important to him originally, but based on his previous understanding of her, he thought she had good character.

At that time, she was gentle and docile, and not a woman who liked to fight.

Jun Zechen also believed in his mother's vision. Since Qi Wanyin could please his mother, she must be a good woman.

When she was with her mother, she behaved properly, gently and virtuously.

Su Jingxuan had gone out to fight with him before, and he had carefully considered Su Jingxuan's character and ability.

Brave and fearless, loyal and devoted.

Qi Wanyin marrying him should have been a happy marriage for everyone, and the Queen Mother would certainly be happy about it.

But now it seems that Qi Wanyin seems to have changed a lot after leaving the country for these years.

Since Yaoyao said that she did not force her, what exactly did Qi Wanyin mean by saying that just now?

Do you want to alienate the relationship between him and Yaoyao?

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Or was he planning to use Su Jingxuan? Or was he planning to use the Su family?

Or does she have some other ulterior motive for returning to the kingdom?

Jun Zechen originally thought that Qi Wanyin had let go of her feelings for him when she left Jun Kingdom and returned to Canglang. Could it be possible that love could turn into hate?

His expression became more complicated and he felt confused. He really couldn't understand some of the woman's thoughts.

He rubbed his temple irritably.

Qi Wanyin made great contributions in the battle, and he made her a county lady. Even his mother had some feelings for her. If she could marry Su Jingxuan, her life would be complete and happy.

What else is she dissatisfied with?

Jun Zechen looked down at the woman who was causing him trouble and who seemed to be enjoying the show, and he was furious.

"Did Yaoyao already know that Qi Wanyin had bad intentions?"

There was a hint of questioning in Jun Zechen's deep eyes.

He wouldn't pay too much attention to women. He hadn't seen Qi Wanyin since she returned to the capital, so naturally his impression of her remained the same as before.

Qi Wanyin didn't even suggest entering the harem, so Jun Zechen paid even less attention to her.

"I only understood this today when Princess Qingping came to speak to Your Majesty."

Su Jingyao's eyes were clear and honest, like a clear spring, and she spoke seriously without any hesitation.

It was just a guess before, and she didn't have the ability to read minds, so she couldn't easily see a person's true face. She could only test it step by step.

"I will handle this matter. Don't cause me any more trouble. If you don't like her, you should have told me clearly earlier."

Jun Zechen pinched her waist angrily, his movements were a bit annoyed, but he was reluctant to use force.

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, a hint of pain showing on her face, but it quickly disappeared.

Then he asked more and more.

"Then, Your Majesty, can you ask the county lady to cancel this marriage?"

Su Jingyao opened her eyes wide, her eyes full of anticipation, like a child eagerly waiting for candy.

Jun Zechen looked at her expectant eyes and couldn't help but feel confused.

I don’t know what she is planning.

Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing her like a hawk, trying to find a clue from her expression.

"You know how to make requests and give me problems?"

Jun Zechen had a look of helplessness on his face, a smile that was not quite smile, making it hard to read.

"Okay, okay?"

Su Jingyao gently shook Jun Zechen's arm, her voice as gentle as the spring breeze, and a hint of flattery in her eyes.

She looks cute and adorable, making it hard to refuse.

Su Jingyao naturally had her own plans.

This is also the reason why Su Jingyao did not let her brother come to ask for a marriage. If her brother did this, Jun Zechen would have been impatient a long time ago.

I even feel that my brother lacks the responsibility of a man.

However, the reason why she asked the county lady to take the initiative to cancel the engagement was just to take advantage of the situation to achieve her goal of becoming a virtuous queen.

When Su Jingyao came to this era, she initially just wanted to enjoy herself to the fullest and stand at the pinnacle of power.

But now that she is on par with Jun Zechen, she wants to go down in history like Jun Zechen and make some contributions in this era.

But there is really very little a woman can do. As a queen, her job is to take care of the harem, and she has always been Jun Zechen's vassal.

Even if her name is recorded in history, it will mostly be Jun Zechen's achievements, and she is just Jun Zechen's queen.

So Su Jingyao wanted to emulate some of the things Wu Zetian did, such as improving the status of women.

Nowadays, the status of women in the monarchy is far lower than that of men, and women must abide by the three obediences and four virtues before getting married.

As a woman, if the county lord took the initiative to cancel the engagement, she would be looked down upon by the common people and the noble families in the capital.

The Su family was the victim, and Su Jingyao was also a member of the Su family. Under such circumstances, they proposed the concept of women's freedom of marriage and issued some decrees in the name of the queen to improve the status of women.

Naturally, she seems to be more understanding.

There was a determined light in Su Jingyao's eyes, and she had already made plans in her mind.

Since he said he loved her, it wouldn't be too much to take advantage of her.

"Okay, okay."

Jun Zechen nodded helplessly, with a somewhat indulgent smile on his face.

"There should be many books you like in my study. Go find some and read them yourself. I still have some memorials to deal with."

Then he added, "I will take it back from you tonight."

Jun Zechen said with gritted teeth, his expression seemed angry, but also revealed doting.

There was a hint of threat in his eyes.

Su Jingyao giggled when she heard this, then leaned over and kissed him gently and quickly.

After the kiss, she got up from him.

The moment he turned around, the corners of his mouth rose high, and there was a cunning in his smile, like a successful little fox, and there was a barely perceptible hint of pride in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes.
