But if he had cured the poison, why were the two of them not wearing any clothes this morning and were so intimate?
He couldn't figure it out, so he took a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, and decided to return to the bedroom to find Su Jingyao and ask for clarification...
He walked slowly and silently like a ghost, and went behind the screen where Su Jingyao's dressing table was placed.
He was tall, and even before he crossed the screen, he could clearly see Su Jingyao in the bronze mirror.
At this moment, she was slightly lowering her head, her shoulders trembling from time to time, and tears were falling from the corners of her eyes like pearls from a broken string.
She is crying...
Jun Zechen felt as if there was a heavy burden on his heart, and he was extremely depressed. The pain was like a needle, and it gradually spread throughout his body like a tide.
He took a deep breath, stepped over the screen and stepped into the house.
When Su Jingyao heard the noise, she quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Her head was lowered almost to her chest, and she stood up and bowed to him.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Her voice was mixed with an uncontrollable cry, which seemed to be subtle but clear to the ear.
Jun Zechen raised his arm slightly, as if he wanted to help her up, but he only extended half of his arm and then retracted it abruptly.
He only said, "Get up."
Su Jingyao slowly stood up, her body straight, but still with her head lowered, as if she wanted to hide all her sadness and grievances.
Jun Zechen naturally knew what she was thinking. He had said many hurtful words before, but Su Jingyao had never cried in front of him.
"Why are you crying secretly?"
There was a hint of concern in his voice that he himself was not even aware of.
Su Jingyao stood there quietly, biting her lips so gently that the shallow teeth marks left on her red lips carried a hint of stubbornness and grievance that was hard to detect.
After a brief silence, she uttered those three words in a voice as small as a mosquito's whisper: "I couldn't help it..."
"If you feel wronged, why don't you explain the reason clearly, and why don't you cry in front of me?"
Wouldn't crying in front of him make him feel more distressed?
The corners of Su Jingyao's eyes, which had turned slightly red from crying, looked like a fading sunset on the horizon, making people feel pity for her.
Her eyes, soaked with tears, were as clear as if washed by spring water, clean and pure, but there was a hint of sadness in the depths of her eyes.
After a pause, Su Jingyao slowly raised her head, her eyes like autumn water slightly raised, and her gaze met Jun Zechen's.
"Because I only cry in front of people who care about me. Crying in front of people who don't care about me is just a joke."
There was a hint of stubbornness and helplessness in her voice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of her heart with great difficulty.
Jun Zechen clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force. His lips were pressed into a line, and his complicated gaze was fixed on Su Jingyao.
Doesn't he feel sorry for her?
Then why is his heart aching now?
"Since you gave me the 'Hundred Poisons Clear', why were we so close and disheveled this morning?"
Jun Zechen bluntly expressed his doubts, with confusion and questioning in his eyes.
When Su Jingyao heard this, her delicate body trembled violently. Her eyes, which were soaked with tears, were now sparkling with tears, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Shouldn't you ask your Highness yourself?"
There was a hint of resentment and grievance in her voice, and every word was filled with endless sadness.
After Jun Zechen knew about the Chinese medicine last night, he pinned her down and bullied her.
However, after taking the antidote, he almost didn't remember what happened. Could it be that he was still holding her and refused to let go?
"I misunderstood you, you..."
Before Jun Zechen could finish his words, Su Jingyao interrupted him coldly: "I know that Your Highness only has Sister Crown Princess in his heart, and I only regard Sister as a relative in the Eastern Palace. Your Highness is Sister's husband. No matter what, I will not have anything to do with Your Highness."
Her voice was as cold as ice, yet it carried a determination that could not be ignored.
She slowly turned her head away and stopped looking at Jun Zechen, but she still had to make things clear.
"Last night, His Highness was brought to Xiyan Palace by Aunt Jinhua. When I discovered that His Highness was unwell, I immediately sent a maid to fetch my sister, hoping that she would take His Highness back to Qiluan Palace. However, I waited and waited, but my sister never showed up."
"I don't know if my sister has misunderstood. Your Highness should go to her and explain things to her as soon as possible. I have already let go of what happened this morning and don't care."
After saying that, she lowered her head again, like a beautiful and lonely sculpture, standing there quietly, waiting for Jun Zechen to leave.
At this moment, Jun Zechen's thoughts had changed.
He stared at the woman in front of him, and his original suspicion completely dissipated.
Maybe in her heart, I am the person she hates the most.
If she had intended to seduce him, last night would have been the best time.
However, she used the 'Bai Du Qing' that her mother had personally prepared for her on him, just to remove the charm poison that had infected him.
At this point, Jun Zechen finally understood that it was not that he did not want to consummate the marriage, but that she was simply unwilling to consummate the marriage with him.
Jun Zechen's eyes were fixed on the top of the woman's head.
Just as she said, I should go to Qiluan Palace as she said and explain everything that happened last night to Ling Yue.
But the cold rejection of the woman in front of him was like a cold current that penetrated his body and made his heart a mess.
