Wearing a book, hooking him up

Qianqing Palace.

After receiving the investigation results about Doctor Jin, Anshun frowned so tightly that the wrinkles seemed able to kill a group of flies.

He was very conflicted. Although An Shun felt in his heart that it was impossible for the queen to have an affair with an imperial physician, judging from the resume of Imperial Physician Jin, the queen did have an unusual relationship with this imperial physician.

He lowered his head and walked to his majesty's side.

"Your Majesty, you asked me to investigate Imperial Doctor Jin, and I have found the result. These are the resumes of Imperial Doctor Jin submitted by the secret guards."

After saying that, he stood aside silently.

Never mind, Your Majesty, please take a look at it yourself.

When Jun Zechen heard the three words "Doctor Jin", his eyes flickered instantly.

He took a stack of papers from Anshun.

The first one is the portrait of Imperial Doctor Jin. Since Imperial Doctor Jin had stayed in the palace for several years, many court painters had seen him, so it was easy to draw his portrait.

When Jun Zechen saw the portrait of Doctor Jin, his hand holding the paper unconsciously clenched tightly.

He has a handsome face and is gentle and elegant.

Isn't this the way she likes it?

Every time Jun Zechen dressed up like a gentleman, her eyes would shine like stars, but this imperial physician was himself an elegant gentleman.

Jun Zechen stared at the portrait with his cold eyes, as if he wanted to pierce the person in the portrait.

Then he angrily rolled up the portrait into a ball and threw it away.

Jun Zechen tried hard to suppress the rage burning in his heart and continued to look through Doctor Jin's life experience.

They knew each other before entering the palace. After entering the palace, Doctor Jin has always been her exclusive doctor, and he was appointed by her personally!

Jun Zechen's face became increasingly gloomy.

In the past few days, Jun Zechen has been forcing himself not to think about his past in the East Palace, and constantly reminding himself in his heart that it is enough that she loves him now.

But now, my thoughts are like a wild horse, out of control.

If she entered the East Palace to scheme against and exploit him, then did she ever love him?

Why did she send Doctor Jin out of the palace?

Was she afraid that he would find out? Was she afraid that he would kill her? Or did she like him?

When he thought of this, the anger in Jun Zechen's heart burned like a prairie fire.

At this moment, he was filled with murderous intent and wanted to cut Doctor Jin into pieces!

Jun Zechen's mind was in a mess, with all kinds of thoughts intertwined together like a tangled mess.

He didn't know what kind of result he wanted, proof that she had never betrayed him, or the truth that she admitted herself?

Jun Zechen's eyes darkened.

"Invite the queen to the Qianqing Palace."

His voice was low and suppressed, carrying an indescribable complex emotion.

When Su Jingyao received the summons, she already had some guesses in her mind.

When she was drinking with Jun Zechen in the lotus pond that day, she didn't know that he had banished Xu Shiying to the cold palace. After she found out, she guessed that Jun Zechen might have known something.

Jun Zechen has been absent-minded these past few days, although on the surface he seems to be no different from usual, and he didn't even ask the questions that Su Jingyao had guessed.

It seems like you just accepted it so calmly?

But today, Anshun came to Kunning Palace to call her, and seemed to be hesitant to say something. Su Jingyao sighed in her heart, what was supposed to come had finally come.

Su Jingyao entered the imperial study and walked straight towards Jun Zechen.

Halfway through the walk, his eyes were drawn to a crumpled piece of paper on the ground, and he couldn't help but frown.

She stopped, bent down, picked it up, and gently unfolded it.

Li Jin?

When Su Jingyao saw Li Jin's portrait, her heart sank and she thought to herself that something was wrong.

It’s over. This time, this man must be completely jealous.

She sighed helplessly, looked up at Jun Zechen's face which was as cold as an iceberg, then threw the portrait away without hesitation and continued to walk towards him.

Since the moment Su Jingyao stepped into the imperial study, Jun Zechen had never taken his eyes off her and had been paying attention to her every move.

When he saw her open the portrait, her expression froze for a moment. Then, when he saw her throw the portrait away nonchalantly and walk towards him, Jun Zechen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you be reviewing memorials at this time? Why did you ask me to come here?"

Su Jingyao walked up to him and asked with her head slightly tilted.

Jun Zechen had a stern face, pursed his lips tightly, and tried his best not to look at her, staring straight ahead.

"The Queen has looked at the portrait. Doesn't she have anything to explain?"

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly. He started calling her the queen. It seemed that he was really angry.

She looked at Jun Zechen, who had no expression on his face and no emotion in his eyes.

She sighed inwardly, he is worthy of being the emperor, his facial expression management is really excellent. For a moment, Su Jingyao couldn't figure out what he was thinking or how angry he was.

Su Jingyao was ready to test it, but she didn't answer his question. Instead, she complained quietly, "My legs are sore."

"Could it be possible that the Queen walked over here?"

Su Jingyao murmured "hmm".

Jun Zechen was choked for a moment.

Su Jingyao pushed the issue further and angrily said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? He's just an imperial physician. Didn't you personally appoint this imperial physician to me?"

After saying that, she coquettishly sat on his lap without saying a word.

Her legs were sore from walking here, and there was only a dragon chair in the imperial study, so even if she wanted to argue, she couldn't stand.

"you."

Jun Zechen was speechless for a moment because of her bold action. The anger in his heart was instantly stuck in his chest and he didn't know how to vent it.

But his hands subconsciously wrapped around her waist.

"I have many doubts in my mind. Can the Queen help me solve them?"

"Your Majesty may ask anything you wish."

Su Jingyao raised her head slightly with a calm expression.

"When you entered the East Palace, you gave in step by step. It was all fake. Your good relationship with Ling was also fake. Your deep love for me was all an act, right?"

Jun Zechen's voice trembled as he asked these questions.

He didn't know what the woman in his arms was feeling at the moment, but he himself was extremely panicked, as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.

As long as she said no, he would believe her.

Su Jingyao lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She whispered, "If Your Majesty already has an answer in mind, does my answer matter?"

"important!"

"Answer me."

Su Jingyao raised her eyes and met Jun Zechen's hurt and disbelieving gaze, which made her heart tremble slightly.

Jun Zechen should have speculated about the things happening in the Eastern Palace a few days ago, but it happened so long ago that he had no evidence.

I don't know why, but I never asked her.

The reason I called her here today was because I was upset about Li Jin's incident. In that case, it seems okay to tell the truth.

After only a moment's thought, Su Jingyao answered firmly.

"Yes."

She did not back down, and her eyes did not evade at all.

Jun Zechen's heart fell into the abyss in an instant, feeling heavy. He wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked and he couldn't utter a single word.

Ask her why she is calculating?

This thought flashed through his mind, but how could he ask such an almost idiotic question?

Isn't the purpose of plotting against him just for the supreme power?

He couldn't help but sneer at himself. He never thought that he, who was so smart all his life, would be fooled by a woman like this. Every time he expressed his feelings to her, how did she look at him?

A poor man who kneels at her feet and has his feelings toyed with by her?

Jun Zechen suddenly felt that he was extremely ridiculous. The woman he had pampered for several years had actually been acting hypocritically in front of him!

Jun Zechen's hands were shaking as he clamped Su Jingyao's chin tightly with his palms, with such force that it seemed as if he could crush her bones.

He was so angry that he almost lost his mind. "Do you know that I am the emperor? I can make you..."

He wanted to say something cruel, something that would make her feel scared and regretful, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

Su Jingyao naturally understood what he had not said, and he could easily take back everything she had now.

If Su Jingyao came in today and was asked by Jun Zechen to kneel on the ground and explain everything, instead of being held in his arms now, Su Jingyao would definitely deny it without hesitation, and she would even pretend for the rest of her life.

It was Jun Zechen who gave her the confidence.

Rather than worrying about when he might find out about these things for the next decade or so, it is better to tell him now.

She would rather others suffer injustice than herself.

But Jun Zechen was injured and had too much strength. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and tears soon filled her eyes. She cried, "It hurts."

"Hurt? Do you feel as much pain as I do?"

Jun Zechen's eyes were red and he roared with gritted teeth.

However, having said that, he finally slowly let go of her.

"What's your relationship with that imperial physician?"

"Just a servant."

The more she acted like she didn't care, the less Jun Zechen cared.

Jun Zechen lowered his head and approached her, looking straight at her with his deep eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

"Then how about I kill him? As long as he is on the imperial land of the monarchy, he can't escape if I want to kill him."

"Your Majesty wants to kill him because of me? Your Majesty thinks I have an affair with him?"

Su Jingyao's voice sounded aggrieved.

Jun Zechen didn't believe in his heart that she would have an affair with an imperial physician, but the events of the Eastern Palace were still vivid in his mind, and that imperial physician was obviously her type, and he had stayed by her side for so many years.

Her deception and concealment made Jun Zechen confused and for the first time he didn't know how to deal with something.

By killing that imperial physician, wouldn't that be acknowledging the unclear relationship between her and that imperial physician?

Just flip it over? Would she become even more complacent and unscrupulous?

Punish her severely?

Jun Zechen gritted his teeth.

"From today on, the Queen is confined to Kun...Qianqing Palace."

After saying that, he pushed her away from him, then turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

Su Jingyao glanced at him in confusion, but she didn't seem very angry.

Then she entered his bedroom in the Qianqing Palace without any restraint, just like she was in the Kunning Palace.

At night, Jun Zechen lay alone in the east side hall, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. Finally, he had to ask Anshun to bring in several jugs of wine to relieve his boredom.

Su Jingyao slept peacefully in Jun Zechen's bedroom, but from time to time she could hear the sound of a wine jug breaking next door.
