The second day.
Jun Zechen slowly woke up and found the woman in his arms still sleeping soundly with her back to him. One of his hands had been resting on her head for a long time, but he didn't feel numb.
He hugged her gently, his eyes fixed on her beautiful back, which was as white as jade and had clearly visible teeth marks on it.
Jun Zechen's slender fingertips gently brushed across these marks, and the emotions in his eyes were like a deep lake, complex and ambiguous.
Is it too easy to forgive her just like that?
I am the ruler of the world, admired by everyone, so why am I so soft-hearted towards her?
In the past two days, Jun Zechen's mood was extremely complicated. He even asked himself again and again, does he really have to have her?
He is in the harem, surrounded by beauties, all of whom are obedient to him and try their best to please him. Why is he so obsessed with this girl who is sometimes stubborn and sometimes weak?
Jun Zechen has been the queen's legitimate son since childhood, and his status is the most noble among all the princes. Later, he successfully became the crown prince and even ascended the throne to become emperor. He is in a high position and has great power. It seems that everything in the world can be easily controlled by him.
Everyone fawned over him and praised him highly.
Whether it was Ling who was in the Eastern Palace back then, or the many concubines after he ascended the throne, Jun Zechen only needed to reward them with some treasures and chat with them for a few words to make them satisfied and grateful.
But Jun Zechen himself has never received true emotional release from these women.
He has always been calm and stable.
To him, women were just the icing on the cake. It was enough for him to have a moment of relaxation after dealing with the heavy affairs of state.
However, ever since he met her, Jun Zechen's usually calm heart has been in turmoil from time to time.
He rarely experiences such strong emotional fluctuations, or rather, there are very few people and things that truly concern him.
But her appearance made his emotions run wild like a wild horse, making it difficult for him to control himself.
Jun Zechen was like a tortured person, immersed in this unprecedented feeling.
He didn't understand why her every smile, every move could tug at his heartstrings so much? Why did her indifference and rejection make him yearn for her love even more?
He found it hard to accept her lack of love. These painful and repressed emotions were surging, yet he couldn't help but immerse himself in them. His desire for her inexplicably grew stronger.
It was a feeling that Jun Zechen could hardly describe in words, like a fog that enveloped his heart.
Jun Zechen slowly closed his eyes, and with an almost pious attitude, he gently kissed the red mark on her back.
Since I can't let her go, I'll keep her by my side forever!
Perhaps, her honesty will become a new and different kind of trust between the two of them.
Jun Zechen has been doting on her for the past two years, so he has let down his guard in front of her and talked about everything. He doesn't think there is any other woman who can make him open his heart like this. They are both honest and clear, and their relationship will only get better in the future.
The tingling sensation instantly spread throughout Su Jingyao's body like an electric current. Her body trembled involuntarily, and her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was struggling to wake up from her sleep.
Jun Zechen felt her subtle movements, and the kiss not only showed no signs of stopping, but became more passionate and deep.
He held her slender waist even tighter, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
Su Jingyao was finally awakened by his gentle and passionate kiss.
The moist and soft touch made her shrink subconsciously. Then she turned around delicately and wrapped her arms around the man's muscular waist like a snake. "Your Majesty, why are you still here today?"
Wasn’t he tired last night and not relaxed this morning?
"There is no morning court today."
"I will accompany you for a while, then I will go to the Imperial Study to review the memorials."
Su Jingyao nodded slightly.
Then she asked softly, "Your Majesty, does your Majesty have a headache?" There was worry in her tone, and her little hand gently massaged his temple.
He drank so much last night, worked so hard for so long, and woke up so early. Is his body made of iron?
The moment Jun Zechen met her concerned eyes, his heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer and trembled violently.
He suddenly realized that it was not without reason that he had been deceived by her in the past few years.
The care she gave him anytime and anywhere, the just-right comfort that went straight to his heart when he was worried, the sudden and unexpected hugs and kisses when they were alone, each time was like a blazing flame that could ignite his heart.
And she could always keenly capture the secret thoughts deep in his heart. The two of them had conversations that resonated with each other's souls. They had discussed poetry and songs together. She was his equally matched chess friend. They had also discussed the world situation together. Every communication was like a spiritual feast that made him indulge in it.
The gentle glances she casually revealed, the birthday gifts she carefully prepared for him, the paintings she drew for him, every stroke of which was filled with deep affection...
In the past few years, there have been countless incidents, one after another, as numerous as stars.
When Jun Zechen thought back on it now, he felt as if he was in a long and beautiful dream.
Even though Jun Zechen now knew in his heart that this might just be her pretense, he still couldn't help but feel his heart tremble slightly because of her concern.
"Yaoyao, do you really care about me?" His voice was filled with anxiety and anticipation.
"Your Majesty, are you going to question all my actions from now on?" Su Jingyao said coquettishly, her eyes full of grievance.
"Whether it's true or not, I will feel relieved because of Yaoyao's concern."
