Ever since the news of Su Jingyao's pregnancy spread throughout the palace, even the sick emperor has shown special care for her, and words of concern and concern can be heard from time to time.
Not to mention the Queen Mother, she even carefully selected a nanny who was proficient in taking care of pregnant women and sent her to take good care of her.
He protected Su Jingyao in all directions, as if he had built an indestructible wall.
After all, in the Queen's place, Concubine Shu and Prince Duan's clique were still unwilling to give up their evil intentions. They had been trying to use the excuse that the Crown Prince had no heir to win over those court officials who had wavering positions, in an attempt to prevent the Crown Prince from ascending the throne.
Now that the concubine is pregnant, even though the queen can't stand her previous arrogance in being favored by the prince and monopolizing the prince's favor, for the sake of her beloved grandson, the queen can temporarily suppress her dissatisfaction in her heart and choose to accept it.
As long as her grandson could be born safely, everything else was just trivial.
During her pregnancy, Su Jingyao was very relaxed and comfortable.
There is no need to make any special effort to please Jun Zechen. All you need to do every day is to use your words to coax him sweetly and tell him to do this and that.
She was relaxed and comfortable, and Jun Zechen was also very happy. It was so nice to get along like this.
However, Jun Zechen did not go against the queen's request again and began to favor other women in the backyard as arranged.
But no one knew what Jun Zechen was thinking. He specifically ordered that no concubine in the Eastern Palace should disturb Su Jingyao, and even expressly forbade anyone to disclose the news of who he favored to Shuening Palace.
Su Jingyao sneered, trying to cover her ears and steal the bell.
Since he didn't want her to know, she would just pretend not to know.
I take care of my baby leisurely every day and live a life as comfortable as a god.
Time flies by, day by day, and the health of the current emperor is getting worse and worse, like a candle in the wind, about to fall.
Jun Zechen knew clearly that the day of his father's death was not far away, and it was time to deal with Ling Yue once and for all.
According to the time calculation, Su Jingyao would most likely give birth after he ascended the throne, and when he ascended the throne, there was no way he would let Ling Yue become the queen.
For Jun Zechen, there are many reasons for Ling Yue not to become the queen, but he feels that Ling Yue is not simple. Maybe she was reborn like him. Jun Zechen naturally wants to ask about the doubts in his heart clearly.
Qiluan Palace.
When Ling Yue saw Jun Zechen coming over, an expression of surprise instantly spread across her face.
But she quickly collected her expression, pretended to be calm, and went out to greet him.
Jun Zechen hasn't been to Qiluan Palace for a long time. What's the matter with him coming here today?
"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."
Jun Zechen shouted "Stand up" expressionlessly, then walked into the hall of Qiluan Palace without looking around, and then sat down in the first seat with his horse and sword in hand.
"Everyone, please stand down."
Jun Zechen's voice was majestic and completely emotionless.
Ling Yue, who was standing in the middle of the hall and about to speak, felt inexplicably nervous about Jun Zechen's unexpected behavior.
Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and a bad premonition hung over her heart like a haze.
After all the palace people left as instructed, Anshun was the last one to leave. He closed the door of the hall and stood guard at the door.
Ling Yue's nervousness instantly reached its peak, and her heart seemed to be about to jump out of her throat.
"Your Highness, do you have something to tell me?"
There was a subtle hint of panic in her voice.
"Please sit down, Princess."
Jun Zechen looked indifferent and gestured casually towards Ling Yue.
Ling Yue sat down below Jun Zechen somewhat nervously, her posture stiff and her body tense.
After Ling Yue sat down, Jun Zechen's dark and deep eyes were like a bottomless cold pool, locking onto her firmly.
Without hesitation, he said directly: "I know you are reborn."
Jun Zechen's voice exploded in Ling Yue's mind. Her expression instantly went out of control. She stared at him blankly, her lips slightly open, her mind blank, not knowing how to react.
Jun Zechen knew that she was reborn because he was also reborn, right?
When Ling Yue thought of this possibility, her hands, which were folded in front of her, unconsciously clasped each other tightly.
But she quickly took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
"I don't know what your Highness is talking about."
Ling Yue bit her lip, trying to make her voice sound calm.
"Since you don't admit it, I'll just say what I think."
Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was resolute and his voice was cold.
"I can't make you the queen. If you are willing to leave the palace, I can arrange everything for you and set you free."
His face was expressionless, and his words were like a merciless cold wind, blowing straight towards Ling Yue.
When Jun Zechen said with such certainty that she could not be made queen, Ling Yue felt as if all her strength was drained away. Her forced composure instantly collapsed, and she could no longer maintain her composure. She was on the verge of collapse.
"Why! What did I do wrong?"
She was hysterical, her voice desperate and unwilling, tears welled up in her eyes, and her eyes turned red in an instant.
"Ling Yue, with your family background, becoming the Crown Princess was a decision I made when I was young and frivolous. You have no children and no family background. Without my support, how could you ascend to the position of Queen?"
Jun Zechen frowned, his face full of annoyance, and his eyes were filled with disgust and impatience.
"You shouldn't ask what you did wrong, you should ask why I must ensure that you ascend to the throne."
Ling Yue has never looked for reasons in herself. Her heart is as high as the sky. Letting her go free is the best ending Jun Zechen can give her.
"Oh, Prince, why do you have to speak so pompously? You want the concubine to ascend to the throne of Queen, right?"
