Jun Zechen, who was sitting in the first seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze like a sharp hawk, staring at Ling Yue with undisguised scrutiny.
"Since God has given you a new life, you can choose to live a good life. No matter what happened in your previous life, it has nothing to do with this life. I will ask you again, if I could grant you freedom, would you be willing?"
Jun Zechen's voice was low and unquestionable.
"Oh, so what if I don't want to? So what if I do? Have you ever given me a choice?"
Ling Yue sneered, her laughter full of sorrow.
She raised her head and looked straight at Jun Zechen, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
Jun Zechen was silent for a while, his eyes were as cold as usual, like an icy lake in a cold night, without a trace of warmth.
"Now that the concubine is pregnant, I don't care about your past life entanglement with her, but your hatred for her is the biggest threat to her."
His tone grew colder.
"I will never allow you to hurt her. Whether you like it or not, you will never be my future queen. If you want freedom, I will give you the documents to go to any city you want."
Jun Zechen's expression was serious and resolute. He raised his chin slightly, exuding an irresistible aura.
"If you don't want freedom, then go to Chonghua Temple and practice for the rest of your life."
Jun Zechen's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Ling Yue's heart hard.
Ling Yue completely lost his strength, as if all his energy had been drained out of him.
Every word Jun Zechen uttered seemed to carry sharp ice chips, mercilessly scratching her skin and making her shiver all over.
He didn't give her a choice at all.
She was reborn not to live such an ordinary life. What she wanted was revenge. She wanted to see Su Jingyao die a miserable death.
The raging fire of revenge raged in her heart, making her unable to calm down.
After her rebirth, her strength to live is entirely supported by hatred. She wants power and wants to kill her enemies with her own hands, and she will do anything to achieve it.
Ling Yue's knuckles turned white from the force of his clenched fists.
Why, why is Su Jingyao so lucky? No matter which world, no matter which Jun Zechen, they all love and protect her.
Ling Yue's eyes were full of jealousy, tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Even if she was reborn, she could not resist the imperial power. Su Jingyao was under Jun Zechen's protection, and she could not hurt her at all.
Ling Yue could only suppress all the resentment in her heart. She had nothing to lose now, and was not afraid of losing anything more. She would not sit idly by and wait for death.
The current emperor will soon pass away, and Su Jingyao's belly is getting bigger and bigger. In order to support Su Jingyao to ascend to the throne of queen and to protect her and her unborn child, Jun Zechen will not let her stay in the palace.
In that case, what's wrong with leaving?
Even if she leaves, she will give Su Jingyao a big gift.
Ling Yue lowered his head, his eyes became sinister and fierce, and he was secretly planning his next move in his mind.
Jun Zechen also gave her enough time to think.
When Ling Yue raised her head again, the jealous look in her eyes became calm, like a still lake.
"I choose freedom."
Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had made a great decision.
Jun Zechen's expression remained calm, as if all this was within his expectations.
"Okay, I'll have someone give you the official documents. You don't have to worry about the gold and silver. I'll give you a royal seal that will allow you to withdraw money from various banks, but there's a fixed monthly limit."
Jun Zechen's tone was cold and emotionless.
Ling Yue sneered in his heart.
Everything was arranged clearly for her.
"When do I leave the palace?"
Ling Yue asked expressionlessly, his eyes so empty that they seemed to have lost focus.
"In one month."
Jun Zechen answered promptly and clearly.
Since Ling Yue chose to leave, he would give her a decent death by letting her die on the grounds of illness. One month would be enough to silence the gossips of the people.
However, in order to prevent Ling Yue from developing more paranoid thoughts during this month, Jun Zechen will also keep a close eye on her until she leaves the palace and the capital.
"Can I meet Su Jingyao before leaving?" Ling Yue asked lightly.
"You can send a maid to ask her yourself. If she wants to see you, I will not hinder her."
After Jun Zechen finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.
After he left, Meixiang walked in in a panic, her face full of worry.
She didn't know what had happened between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his master, and why the relationship between them had become so strained less than a year after the concubine entered the Eastern Palace.
Meixiang saw her master sitting on the chair in a daze, like a puppet without support, and she felt even more uneasy.
"Master, what did His Highness say?"
Meixiang asked cautiously with a trembling voice.
"Meixiang, I lost, and I lost miserably, but I won't accept it."
Ling Yue's voice was so hollow that it seemed to come from another world. Her eyes were lifeless as she stared blankly ahead.
Meixiang was panicked.
"Master, please don't scare me. What's wrong with you?"
In fact, Meixiang also didn't understand why the master targeted the concubine as soon as she entered the Eastern Palace, and even planned to frame her.
"Meixiang, I hate her."
Ling Yue said this through gritted teeth, his expression distorted and ferocious.
Meixiang looked at her master worriedly.
"Why?"
"Master, you are already the Crown Princess. As long as you are magnanimous and understanding, His Highness will not treat you badly, considering your past friendship."
Meixiang tried to persuade her master, saying that the current master was too paranoid and she didn't know what had happened between the master and the concubine.
