"Miaoxia, come and give me some lighter makeup."
Su Jingyao tilted her head slightly, blinked her eyes, spoke softly, and then added.
"Also, find me the light blue feather brocade wide-sleeved waisted skirt that His Majesty sent me earlier."
After hearing this, Miaoxia showed a look of surprise on her face and her eyes were full of confusion.
He couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you going to the Palace of Heavenly Purity to see His Majesty?"
"Um."
Su Jingyao hummed lightly, then frowned, with a look of extreme grievance on her face, tears glistening in her eyes, and she looked pitiful.
"I have been investigating this case all day, and it has been exhausting. But now I have been smeared with mud. I am so miserable that I must seek comfort from His Majesty."
Miaoxia looked at her master's appearance and felt secretly amused, knowing that her master was acting again.
But she still cooperated and said, "Yes, it is really not easy for the master. I feel sorry for the master."
"I will definitely paint your face a pure, innocent, and pitiful one, especially your eyes. I will paint them carefully according to the method you taught me before."
The corners of Su Jingyao's mouth rose slightly, revealing a sly smile.
Miaoxia is getting more and more lovely.
Then she sat in front of the dressing table, stretched out her jade hand and gently placed it on the table, tilted her head slightly, and signaled Miaoxia to start dressing herself.
After dressing up carefully, Su Jingyao sat gracefully in the sedan chair and headed to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
When they arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, the eunuch saw Concubine Chunshu and immediately a bright smile appeared on his face. He hurried forward to greet her, bending very low.
He said respectfully, "Your servant pays homage to the Consort Chun Shu. His Majesty has instructed that if you come, you can just go in directly."
Su Jingyao smiled, nodded slightly, lifted her skirt, and slowly walked into the hall.
At this time, Jun Zechen was sitting at the desk, his expression focused and serious, and he was making comments on the memorials with the red pen in his hand from time to time.
Su Jingyao stood not far away, took a deep breath, tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, and then slowly put away the smile on her face.
A trace of pitiful sadness gradually emerged on the delicate face.
She walked slowly towards Jun Zechen with light lotus steps. When she reached him, she bowed slightly.
The voice was so soft that it seemed to float away in the wind, carrying with it a vague sense of grievance.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Get up, Yaoyao is so proactive in coming to the Qing Palace today?"
Jun Zechen didn't notice the strangeness in her voice. He paused writing with the red pen in his hand, and asked jokingly with a faint smile on his face.
Su Jingyao lowered her head slightly and said nothing, looking particularly lovable.
Jun Zechen then realized that her mood seemed a little off, so he put down the memorial in his hand and began to look at her carefully.
She was wearing a light blue dress today, looking as graceful and elegant as a fairy from heaven.
The hair is simply half-tied up in a bun, and the long hair hanging down is tied in the middle with a headband of the same color, adding a touch of softness.
Her eyelashes drooped slightly and trembled slightly, as if she had been wronged.
"Come here, what's wrong?" Jun Zechen asked softly, with a hint of concern in his tone.
Su Jingyao slowly walked up to him, biting her lips tightly, as if trying to hold back her tears from falling.
Jun Zechen turned sideways and looked up at her, his brows furrowed tightly, then he reached out and put his arms around her waist, gently holding her in his arms.
After Su Jingyao sat on his lap, she gently leaned her head against his neck. Still without saying anything, she just hugged him tightly, as if he was her only support.
"Since you've come to see me, why don't you say anything? Who else in the harem could let my Yaoyao suffer any injustice?"
Jun Zechen held the delicate and soft woman in his arms. Her helpless dependence made him feel pity and heartache.
"I don't want to investigate the case anymore..."
Su Jingyao's voice was very soft, and now it was filled with an obvious crying tone, so soft and sticky that it made people's hearts melt.
"If you don't want to investigate, then don't investigate. I'll go to Queen Mother and tell her how you can investigate a case and end up crying."
Jun Zechen's hand gently stroked her waist, his voice gentle.
"Did you find anything today?"
"Your Majesty, I can't even manage the people in my own palace. It was Ping'er in my palace who poisoned the imperial concubine. It was my fault. I am now a suspect and have no right to investigate the case."
Su Jingyao's voice was full of grievance and self-blame, and her slightly trembling tone made people feel particularly distressed.
Jun Zechen's brows suddenly furrowed tightly. How could it be related to Yaoyao!
"Anshun, bring me today's case record of Concubine Chunshu. I want to take a look." His eyes darkened instantly, and the expression on his face became extremely serious. He turned around and instructed Anshun beside him.
He then lowered his head slightly, speaking softly, "What are you afraid of? Don't I know you well enough? Someone who risked his life to save the Imperial Concubine even when she was pregnant, how could he possibly poison her?"
When he said this, his eyes were fixed on Su Jingyao with special concentration, with a hint of doting in them.
"Besides, the day the imperial concubine was poisoned was Yaoyao's birthday. I believe Yaoyao would not do such a thing."
The doting in Jun Zechen's eyes became more and more obvious, as if Su Jingyao was the treasure in his palm.
After hearing this, Su Jingyao's aggrieved face showed a look of joy.
"Your Majesty trusts me, and I am very happy."
"Yesterday, I carefully investigated the timeline of the disappearance of An Zhaorong's dowry, and An Zhaorong has been completely cleared of suspicion."
