She really wanted to curse the man who made her heartbroken, but she was afraid that her quarrel would make him leave completely.
She was afraid that the feelings between them would gradually fade away because of quarrels and eventually disappear.
Jun Zechen looked at her who lowered her head and remained silent with grievance, and his heart softened.
She softened her tone and said, "It was my mother who drugged me last night and sent me to Xiyan Palace."
"I have always had you in my heart, but you have not yet conceived. My mother and father are constantly pressuring me. The concubine is the legitimate daughter of Minister Su. Since she married into the Eastern Palace, I have neglected her for nearly a month because of you."
Ling Yue stared at Jun Zechen in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice, "So, Aze came here today just to tell me that he won't continue to ignore Concubine Su?"
"Yuer, as the Crown Prince, it is my unshirkable responsibility to ensure the continuation of the imperial lineage. Even if I don't favor Consort Su, my mother and father will eventually grant Consort Li and Consort Wang. Do I have to marry them all as just vases?"
Ling Yue opened her mouth, but didn't know how to respond. Tears welled up in her eyes and slid silently down her cheeks.
Jun Zechen watched her cry silently, feeling a little distressed.
He involuntarily stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, but stopped in mid-air, and finally turned into a sigh.
It was he who failed to fulfill his promise, but Jun Zechen also had resentment in his heart. Why couldn't Ling Yue get pregnant? If she was pregnant, even if the Queen Mother and the Emperor forced him, Jun Zechen would have the opportunity to argue with them.
Instead of just accepting it helplessly like today.
The royal family education he received since childhood told him that he could not give up his offspring for a woman. As the crown prince, offspring was not a personal matter, but a matter of the stability of the monarchy.
Ling Yue's eyes gradually became confused, as if they had lost all their luster.
She also felt deeply resentful towards herself. Why was she the only one who couldn't have children?! Her body trembled slightly, which made people feel pity for her.
Jun Zechen couldn't bear it, so he slowly walked forward and hugged her tightly in his arms.
His hand gently stroked her back. Ling Yue hugged Jun Zechen tightly, as if she had grabbed the last straw. Her heart was filled with fear, afraid that this man would leave her.
That fear was like a bottomless abyss, dragging her down continuously.
"Aze, it's all my fault that I can't have children, otherwise this situation wouldn't have happened."
"Aze, please favor Concubine Su. I won't blame you."
"But Aze, will you fall in love with her?"
When Jun Zechen heard her last question, his body suddenly stiffened and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
He hugged Ling Yue tightly and said firmly, "No."
