Jun Zechen's mind kept echoing with the words his mother had said to him at that time.
"Could it be that the Crown Prince will only be satisfied if the child in Concubine Su's belly becomes a sacrifice for the Crown Princess's growth?!"
He closed his eyes, but these words kept echoing in her mind, unable to be shaken off.
Jun Zechen suppressed his inner anger for a long time before he slowly opened his eyes. His gaze, like a sharp sword, swept over the imperial concubine who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.
But there was no sympathy at all.
He sat back in his chair, his voice calm, as if his previous anger had been completely suppressed.
"My dear Concubine, I have told you before that I have changed my mind. It is my fault. Please do not direct your hatred towards Concubine Chun Shu."
"I don't know if you tampered with Concubine Chun Shu's palace attire, but as one of the Four Concubines, her palace attire should have been the responsibility of Chen Shangfu or Li Shangfu, or at least one of the four officials in the Shangfu Bureau."
He paused, his eyes growing colder.
"If it weren't for your suggestion, would the Shangfu Bureau treat Concubine Chun Shu's palace dress so lightly? They even replaced the brocade that Concubine Chun Shu herself sent to the Shangfu Bureau?"
He didn't point out some things, not because he didn't know, but because he wanted to turn a blind eye.
But Ling Yue is getting more and more excessive!
"Is it you who embroidered the poisoned Concubine Chun Shu? I am no longer certain. I will wait for An Shun to investigate."
Jun Zechen's voice sounded like a wake-up call.
The imperial concubine was hit hard by his words. She raised her head, her face full of despair.
He no longer believed her...
"Yes, this is all your Majesty's fault. I should be hating you, but you are the emperor. How can I hate you?"
"I can't hit you, I can't scold you, I can only watch you dote on Concubine Chun Shu more and more! Watch you become happier and happier, right?"
Her voice became increasingly louder, almost hysterical at last: "Your Majesty, are you too cruel to me?"
Jun Zechen looked at her expressionlessly, but there was a hint of anger burning in his eyes.
"My Lady, I am the Emperor. Did you really not think about this when you married me?"
He spoke slowly, his tone as cold as a sword, "At this point, have I changed, or is the you I know not the real you?"
There was no longer a trace of emotion in his eyes, only endless indifference and disappointment.
The imperial concubine was completely devastated by these words. She covered her face, cried silently, and collapsed to the ground.
The hall was dead silent, with only the imperial concubine's soft sobs echoing, making the already solemn atmosphere even more oppressive.
There is already an unbridgeable gap between the two of them. Will there be a future for them...
The imperial concubine lowered her head, her eyes dim.
Isn't the girl Jun Zechen knows the real her?
She knew that she was the prince, and before marrying him, she thought that he would have many women, but Jun Zechen made a promise to her, and she thought she was his true love, so she gave him her heart.
Maybe she did love the feeling of power, but she also truly loved this man.
Back then, he was the high and mighty prince of the kingdom and a spirited young general. Which woman could not be moved by him?
She grew up in the Ling family, under the watchful eyes of others. Her father was away from home all year round, and she only had the love of her mother.
Later, when her mother passed away, she was even more neglected.
After going to the frontier, she kept company with horses, or went to small towns to do some work, and made some generous friends.
She became more lively and free-spirited, but deep down, she longed for love from others.
She was attracted to Jun Zechen at first sight and approached him deliberately, and he fell in love with her at that time.
He even gave her unprecedented love, how could she not fall for it?
Now that he has changed his mind, how can she accept it?
She knew that Concubine Chun Shu was not wrong and that she had a kind heart.
No matter that Concubine Chun Shu had saved her in the past, or that she had lost her own flesh and blood because of her today, Concubine Chun Shu's kindness made her feel extremely despicable, and she even despised herself.
But, is she just going to passively accept the result that her husband falls in love with someone else?
Is it wrong for her to want to regain her husband's favor?
But in order to protect another woman, he admitted that the mistake was his and made her hate him.
How could she hate him?
The imperial concubine's mind was full of thoughts, and the tears in her eyes had long dried up.
After a long time, she raised her head, her eyes firm and calm.
"Your Majesty, you have changed, and I have changed too." She said, her tone calm.
"I was jealous and caused my subordinates to neglect Concubine Chun Shu's palace dress, which led to such a big flaw in Concubine Chun Shu's palace dress. I am willing to accept any punishment from Your Majesty."
When she said this, her expression remained calm, and she had already prepared for the worst.
Now Jun Zechen has completely lost his trust in her. It was all because of her stupidity that others found an opportunity to hurt Concubine Chun Shu and then turn the blame on her.
Who was behind all these elaborate traps and layouts?
Could it still be An Zhaorong?
No, not necessarily. There are now thirty-five new people in the harem. As long as they want to gain the emperor's favor, the ones they want to get rid of the most are her and Concubine Chunshu.
Because after Jun Zechen entered the palace, he spent most of his time in Zhaochun Palace and Yiku Palace. The only three people who were summoned to the palace were Lin Ronghua, Ye Ronghua and Chu Meiren.
Concubine Chun Shu had a miscarriage. Jun Zechen will definitely punish her severely today. She has nowhere to hide and can only retreat in order to advance.
But today, she was rejected by His Majesty, and Concubine Chunshu was unable to serve him in the bed for a short period of time due to miscarriage, so the one who benefited was the new concubine.
