she......
Jun Zechen put all the secret letters back, slowly stood up and walked out of Yude Hall.
After carefully disguising everything in the Yude Hall to look the way she wanted, Su Jingyao almost "fled" under the gaze of the palace maids.
She hurried back to Shuining Palace with her skirt flying, looking panicked as if something terrible was chasing her.
Su Jingyao would not be so foolish as to impulsively point at the pile of secret letters in Yude Hall and question a former emperor desperately.
Is she going to ask him, "Is your love for me fake?"
"Is your favor just a smokescreen to confuse the Su family?"
Or "Are you really going to deal with the Su family? Are you going to destroy the Su family?"
......
Different positions lead to different actions, and these "whys" are meaningless.
Besides, no matter what the question is, it is an overstep for a loveless emperor, not to mention that it is a taboo for women in the harem to touch upon state affairs. Su Jingyao would not be so stupid as to put herself in such a passive and unfavorable position.
She just "accidentally" discovered the secret letter.
If Jun Zechen didn't care about her and was just using her, then he would either kill her or pretend he didn't know.
If Jun Zechen cared about her, he would definitely come and ask clearly, and "force" her to say what was in her mind instead of her asking proactively.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Su Jingyao was sitting on the couch thinking with a serious expression. Her delicate face, which had been carefully powdered after coming back, now looked pale and bloodless.
Her brows were furrowed, her eyes seemed filled with deep worry and uneasiness, and her lips were tightly pursed.
Build up your emotions first.
Jun Zechen should be here soon.
"Master, His Highness will be here soon."
Miaoyun reported that she didn't know what happened to her master in Yude Hall.
Su Jingyao chuckled, but there was no trace of joy in her laughter.
"Let's go out and welcome His Highness."
She rarely waited for Jun Zechen outside the hall, but today she had to follow the rules in front of him.
She slowly stood up, straightened her clothes and hair, and walked out with her back straight.
Before Jun Zechen arrived at Shuining Palace, he saw a graceful young girl standing outside the palace from afar, with her head slightly lowered, quietly waiting for him.
The figure looked a little thin and lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Today is the rule.
Jun Zechen's eyes darkened instantly.
He quickened his pace and walked over with big strides, bringing up a breeze.
"I pay my respects to His Highness."
Su Jingyao tried hard to keep her voice calm, but the slightly trembling ending of her voice seemed unable to completely hide the turmoil in her heart no matter how she disguised it.
Jun Zechen helped her up and was about to take her hand into the hall, but Su Jingyao shrank back reflexively. Then, as if realizing something, she took the initiative to put her hand in Jun Zechen's hand.
Jun Zechen glanced at her sideways and didn't say anything about her abnormal behavior.
Inside the hall, the two sat opposite each other. Su Jingyao lowered her head with her hands folded, looking very polite and a little uneasy.
Miaoyun poured the tea swiftly and quietly with everyone else.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.
Su Jingyao raised her eyes cautiously, raised the corners of her mouth, and tried hard to force a smile, but the smile seemed forced.
"Your Highness, would you like some tea?"
Jun Zechen looked at her quietly, pretending to know nothing. Did she know that her smile was ugly now?
For the first time, I felt confused and didn't know what the woman in front of me was thinking.
After seeing the secret letter that the family was being targeted by him, shouldn't we question him or even beg him not to do this?
"Didn't I ask you to wait for me for dinner?"
Jun Zechen's voice was low and emotionless, and he seemed to be testing her.
"I'm not feeling well and I'm afraid I can't eat anything. I don't want Your Highness to see me and affect my appetite, so I went back to Shui Ning Palace."
Su Jingyao's voice became smaller and smaller.
"Your Highness has not yet eaten. I will ask the palace maids to bring your meal."
Jun Zechen looked at her and felt inexplicably uncomfortable as she looked completely different from her bright and outgoing self in the afternoon.
Her eyes, which always sparkled when she spoke before, now looked a little dim, and the smile at the corners of her eyes disappeared, replaced by a slight trembling of her eyelashes, and her eyes deliberately avoided him.
Jun Zechen's ring turned on his slender fingers.
"No, I'm not hungry."
His tone was cold, and then he asked casually, "Did you water the orchids in the Solitary Bedroom today?"
When Su Jingyao mentioned Huilan, her body shook uncontrollably.
"I saw that the orchid was blooming beautifully, so I dipped some water to moisten it." Her voice trembled slightly.
Jun Zechen lowered his eyes, his deep gaze falling directly on the top of her head.
"Did you see the letter inside?"
"without......"
Su Jingyao subconsciously wanted to deny it, but when she looked up, she saw the man's eyes as deep as the sea, as if he could see through everything.
Everything about her was exposed in front of him.
Su Jingyao's voice stopped abruptly.
She lowered her head and bit her lower lip lightly, leaving a shallow mark on her pink lips with her pearly teeth.
No more words were spoken, and the hall fell into dead silence.
