Wearing a book, hooking him up

Jingyang Palace.

"Master, the maid you sent to Zhaochun Palace was executed by His Majesty."

Xiang Ling's face was pale and her whole body was trembling. She walked quickly to Concubine Ye with a look of horror and reported.

When Concubine Ye heard this, her eyes darkened instantly and her expression became extremely ugly.

Sure enough, it was exactly what she had imagined before.

Even if His Majesty wanted to deal with the Su family, he never thought of deposing the Imperial Concubine.

Your Majesty has only stayed at the Imperial Noble Consort's house before. Even though she and Concubine Lin have been favored during this period, Your Majesty has never slept on the same bed with them.

All of His Majesty's special treatments are only for the Imperial Concubine, and His Majesty's love for the Imperial Concubine is absolutely true.

Even if the Su family is destroyed, the imperial concubine will still be enthroned as queen!

Concubine Ye gritted her teeth, a sinister light flashing in her eyes.

How could she allow such a thing to happen? His Majesty dealt with the Su family without telling the Imperial Noble Consort, and even attempted to enthrone the Imperial Noble Consort as Queen, but this also required the Imperial Noble Consort to be willing.

Could the Imperial Concubine accept that the man beside her was the enemy who had exterminated her clan?

Humph.

Although today's move is extremely risky, the benefits are even greater. I'm afraid that the Imperial Concubine has already become alienated from Your Majesty.

Now that she has a child, Your Majesty will not be too cruel to her.

As long as the Imperial Noble Consort is dealt with, Concubine Lin will just be infertile, and she can then do whatever she wants with her.

Thinking of this, Concubine Ye's mouth curled up.

Zhaochun Palace.

Time passed quietly like flowing water, and before I knew it, more than a month had passed.

Su Jingyao stayed indoors all day long, but every three days, she would summon the female officials from the six palaces to handle the affairs of the six palaces. She did not ignore these matters because of her depressed mood.

The Queen Mother now often worships Buddha devoutly in the Buddhist temple, and seems to be unconcerned about Jun Zechen's affairs in the harem. Unless something extremely serious happens, she will not come out easily.

Over the past month, Jun Zechen was ruthlessly blocked outside the gate of Zhaochun Palace every time he came.

He could only helplessly listen to Doctor Li reporting on Su Jingyao's physical condition. When he learned that she still insisted on handling the affairs of the six palaces despite her illness, he felt even more pity and worry.

He could only ask Doctor Li to tell her to have a good rest.

Today, all the ministers who were sent by Jun Zechen to various cities for secret operations finally returned to Beijing. The results they brought back naturally made Jun Zechen extremely satisfied.

When attending court, Jun Zechen sat on the dragon throne with a dignified look, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn.

In front of all the ministers, Anshun read out the imperial edict:

"I have been blessed by heaven to inherit the throne, rule the world, and govern the people.

However, after detailed investigations and thorough verifications in recent days, it was found that the Ye family, a prominent family with a history of hundreds of years, actually had evil intentions and secretly trained soldiers in many cities of the kingdom.

Such vile behavior is clearly an attempt to rebel and usurp the throne and to subvert the rules and regulations of our dynasty. It is a serious crime of treason and is unforgivable.

Therefore, it is ordered that from now on, Grand Commander Ye will be demoted to a commoner and all his previous official positions and honorary titles will be stripped away.

All the patriarchs of the Ye family branches who train private soldiers in various cities are guilty of heinous crimes and cannot be tolerated. They must all be executed immediately to uphold the law and maintain the stability of the country.

The entire Ye family will be exiled to a cold and bitter borderland immediately, never to return to the capital city again. They must reflect on their mistakes, take this as a warning, and serve as a warning to others.

Admire this. "

The ministers looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. They really didn't understand what was happening and why it happened so suddenly.

Doesn’t Your Majesty want to deal with the Su family?

Even the Imperial Noble Consort stayed indoors in Zhaochun Palace. Wasn't it His Majesty who ordered her to be confined to her room?

Concubine Ye is pregnant with the royal heir. Could it be that all this is a lie?

The ministers secretly raised their eyes to look at Jun Zechen who was sitting on the dragon throne, but because of the crown and long beads blocking his majestic face, they couldn't see the emperor's expression at all.

At this moment, they only felt a chill in their hearts.

The current His Majesty's stern face in the court seems to be covered by frost all year round. Compared with the previous emperor, he reveals a more frightening ruthlessness.

His methods of doing things are as fierce as thunder and lightning, making it impossible to guess what he is thinking.

After Jun Zechen left the court, he walked hurriedly with an anxious look on his face, and he couldn't wait to rush to Zhaochun Palace.

At this time, the gate of Zhaochun Palace was still tightly closed as usual. Jun Zechen said in a deep voice: "Anshun, knock on the door."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Following behind His Majesty, Anshun walked forward and knocked on the door of Zhaochun Palace. Over the past month, Anshun had repeated this action countless times.

Except for the Imperial Concubine, who else in the harem dares to turn Your Majesty away?

After Anshun knocked a few times, the young eunuch inside opened the door. When he saw His Majesty coming in person, he was so scared that he knelt down immediately.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Afterwards, Jun Zechen walked straight into the room with a stern expression without saying a word.

But the young eunuch had received orders from his master not to let anyone into Zhaochun Palace, so he could only bite the bullet and tremble as he said, "Your Majesty, the master said she won't see anyone."

When Jun Zechen passed by the little eunuch, he glanced at him coldly. The coldness in his eyes made the little eunuch feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.

Then Jun Zechen walked quickly into Zhaochun Palace with an expressionless face.

Anshun followed behind His Majesty and shook his head slightly.

As expected of a servant in the Imperial Concubine's palace, he is really courageous.

Miaoxia was startled when she saw His Majesty coming in, and then she quickly bowed, "Your servant greets His Majesty."

"Where is your master?"

"The master is in the study." Miaoxia replied with her head down.

Jun Zechen frowned after hearing this. He had clearly instructed Imperial Physician Li to let her have a good rest, and the affairs of the six palaces would naturally be handled by the female officials.

But he didn't think any more about it at this moment. He hadn't seen her for more than a month, and Jun Zechen only wanted to see her as soon as possible, so he strode towards the study.

Now it is the hottest weather, and the ice basin placed in the study emits a slight coolness. Zhaochun Palace is not short of such a thing to relieve the heat.

Su Jingyao was wearing a snow-white gauze dress, and the thin gauze skirt seemed to be surrounded by a hazy fairy air.

Her shiny black hair spread out like a waterfall, loosely held in place by only an exquisite hairpin.

A few strands of hair fell playfully beside her fair cheeks.

Her expression was as cold as snow, like a beautiful and inviolable ice sculpture. She sat upright at the desk, holding a pen in one white and slender hand, moving it gently on the paper.

It is as if a fairy from the nine heavens has quietly descended to the earth, so beautiful that it takes one's breath away.

When Jun Zechen stepped in, he saw her like this at a glance, and his heart trembled again and again.

He was really attracted to her all the time.

Su Jingyao sensed the movement, and slowly raised her eyes, as cold as autumn water, and looked at him.

Her face was still as calm as a lake, without any major emotional fluctuations.

He stood up, walked to the side of the table, and gave Jun Zechen a standard salute.

"My concubine pays your respects to Your Majesty."

Jun Zechen hurriedly took two steps forward and helped her up, feeling helpless.

She and he became estranged...

"Yaoyao, please don't be angry with me, okay?" Jun Zechen's voice contained a hint of pleading.

"I am not angry. I am just an insignificant woman in your majesty's harem. Your majesty does not need to explain to me no matter what he does, and I will not make trouble unreasonably."

Su Jingyao looked at Jun Zechen firmly, and her eyes showed that she really didn't care about his concealment, and even accepted it calmly.

Without expectations, there will naturally be no disappointment. She just needs to do her part well.

Jun Zechen didn't want to see her cold face at all at this moment. He just wanted to see the little girl who used to act coquettishly towards her.

He suddenly grabbed her waist and held her tightly in his arms.

"Yaoyao, in my heart, you are the most important. I may have thought about dealing with the Su family before, but because of Yaoyao, I hesitated and overturned all my previous decisions."

"I asked Yaoyao to use contraception for the sake of your health." His voice was low and urgent.

"I favor Concubine Ye... to deal with the Ye family."

At this moment, Jun Zechen only wanted to completely reveal his inner thoughts to her. He did not like the calculations between the women in the harem, but weren't his own calculations despicable as well?

He ascended the throne step by step, treading on blood.

He had his own ambitions, and he would use all sorts of means to achieve them. Mountains of corpses and seas of blood could not outweigh the praises in history books for him being the greatest emperor of all time.

Yaoyao is the only clear corner in his heart, and he puts his softest heart on her.

To others, he is a heartless emperor, but in front of Yaoyao, he wants to be a caring husband.

"Your Majesty always has so many reasons..."

Su Jingyao was held in his arms obediently, her voice coming from a distance, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"Will I also be your Majesty's pawn in the future?"

Su Jingyao raised her head and looked straight at Jun Zechen. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

When Jun Zechen heard this question, his body stiffened.

He didn't want to tell Yaoyao about his plans because he was afraid that Yaoyao would suspect him.

"No, Yaoyao can't." Jun Zechen replied quickly.

"Even if I become unscrupulous, sinister and vicious in the future, Your Majesty will not change either?"

Su Jingyao asked softly, with a hint of self-mockery in her voice.

Jun Zechen didn't say anything, his brows slightly furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

Why would Yaoyao ask such a question? Is she still unscrupulous, sinister and vicious?

"No matter what my Yaoyao looks like, I will like her and I will never change."

Jun Zechen picked her up, walked to the table and sat down, then took a deep breath into her neck. He really missed her.

The strength with which he held her made Su Jingyao feel a little suffocated.

But Jun Zechen seemed to want to express his inner longing in this way.

"Yaoyao hasn't seen me for more than a month. I miss you very much. Even though I'm not by your side, you still control me."

In order to see her sooner, he sped up his efforts to deal with the Ye family, even though it was more risky.

Su Jingyao leaned in his arms, listening to him express his love and longing for her, but her heart was not moved at all.

Suddenly, Jun Zechen glanced at a few lines of words on the rice paper on the table. Was it Yaoyao who just wrote it?

He held it out in front of him. It read:

Love is voluntary, there is no regret after it is over, do not talk about debts, and live up to the encounter.

Jun Zechen suddenly remembered what she once said: I am lucky to meet you, even if it is sad, it is still love.

Why did she write this?

Is she going to break up her love for him?

This thought made his heart sink into an ice cellar, and his hands unconsciously clenched the rice paper and crumpled it into a ball.

Jun Zechen looked at her, his eyes filled with shock and anger. His voice was low and powerful, "I won't allow it!"
