The guilt in Ling Yue's heart surged like a tide.
Seeing that Ling Yue hadn't spoken for a long time, Su Jingyao thought that Ling Yue didn't believe what she said. She frowned slightly, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"Sister, although I have married into the Eastern Palace, I will never regard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as my husband. His Highness will always be my sister's."
Her voice was soft but firm, and her slightly trembling lips revealed her inner uneasiness.
Ling Yue's lips trembled slightly. After a moment's silence, she slowly spoke, "Sister, I'm sorry for you. If I weren't infertile, you wouldn't have to marry into the Eastern Palace."
There was a genuine apology in her eyes.
When Su Jingyao heard Ling Yue call her "sister" instead, she understood and knew that Ling Yue had believed her.
She lowered her eyes to hide a hint of cunning in them, chuckled in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
She is so gullible, she is worthy of being the simple and kind-hearted heroine.
Then, she quickly put away her smile and replaced it with a look of pure innocence, mixed with a hint of barely perceptible loneliness.
"There are so many people in this world who are forced to do things against their will. I am one of them, and so is Your Highness. I won't blame anyone. However, I don't know anyone in this East Palace. I wonder if I can come and have tea and chat with you in the future."
After saying this, she paused for a moment, then quickly added, "I will come when Your Highness is not around."
"Sister, you can come to me for tea and chat at any time. You are always welcome in Qiluan Palace."
Ling Yue raised a gentle smile on her face, her eyes full of kindness.
Su Jingyao's smile became more and more sweet and intoxicating, but she had other thoughts in her mind.
She doesn't believe in fate at all.
Fate is nothing but the boring masturbation of losers.
She had long known that she would enter the Eastern Palace because of the imperial edict. This was her own choice.
In modern times, she was fed up with her helpless and pitiful life as a child, so she has been climbing up since she became an adult.
In ancient times, she was a respected girl from an aristocratic family. However, due to the intimidating power of the emperor, even a first-rank minister could not escape the emperor's death sentence.
Since this is the case, she naturally wants to be a person in power. As a woman, even if she cannot control the world, she must play the man who controls the world in the palm of her hand.
She wants to act recklessly and be proud of herself.
At that time, Jun Zechen stood upright at the door, clearly hearing the conversation between the two people in the room.
Last night she said that she would explain to Ling Yue in person, but he thought it was just an excuse.
This morning, she even seduced him wantonly. In his opinion, this made it even harder for him to believe that Su Jingyao was a simple and kind person.
However, the words she had just said, whether it was her personal explanation that he did not touch her last night, or her firm statement that she would not destroy the relationship between him and Ling Yue, all hit Jun Zechen's heart like a storm, shocking him.
He knew clearly what the ladies of noble families valued most. The wives of ministers in the court would never say this out loud even if they were not favored by their husbands.
But Su Jingyao...she has such an open-minded mind.
He probably owed her this life.
Jun Zechen couldn't help but sigh, a trace of guilt welling up in his heart, but he would definitely give her a lifetime of wealth and glory as compensation.
Having made up his mind, Jun Zechen took a step forward and walked into the house.
When Su Jingyao saw the prince come in, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
She quickly stood up and bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Get up."
Jun Zechen's voice was neither high nor low, his tone was calm, and his eyes swept over her casually.
"Aze, why are you here?"
A glimmer of joy flashed in Ling Yue's beautiful eyes, the corners of her mouth raised in a cheerful arc, and her face was full of happiness.
"You said you wanted to ride a horse? Today, a new horse arrived at the stables. I'll take you there."
The corners of Jun Zechen's mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of tenderness in his voice.
He married Su Jingyao yesterday, and to prevent her from being sad, he thought of taking her to her favorite horse farm today to relieve her sadness.
When Ling Yue heard that she could go horseback riding, her excitement was beyond words and her whole face was radiating excitement.
"Aze, you are so nice!" Her voice was filled with joy.
Since entering the palace, Ling Yue has been silently thinking about the days of free horse racing outside the Great Wall. In the past two years, due to the rules and the fact that the Queen did not like her, she has only been to the racecourse a few times.
In the past, when she was not fighting, she and Aze would gallop freely in the frontier and run wildly. Those were the happiest and most joyful times in her life.
Jun Zechen's eyes seemed to casually sweep over Su Jingyao. The young woman lowered her head slightly, a hint of loss quietly revealed between her eyebrows.
He couldn't help but feel an indescribable pity in his heart. After all, she was innocently implicated and living deep in the East Palace, she was inevitably lonely. Perhaps going horseback riding together could make her smile a little.
Jun Zechen was about to ask when Su Jingyao raised her head slightly and forced a smile on her face.
"Your Highness, Sister, you two can go ride your horses. I will return to Xiyan Palace."
Ling Yue was so excited at this moment that she completely forgot about Su Jingyao's existence.
"Well, sister, if you have nothing to do, you might as well go with us." Ling Yue turned her head and said to Su Jingyao with a smile.
When Jun Zechen heard Ling Yue's invitation, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes. Yue'er was still as kind as before.
Su Jingyao's eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, like a candle suddenly lit in the darkness, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
