Wearing a book, hooking him up

Chapter 25: The Crown Princess is under house arrest

Xiyan Palace.

Jun Zechen hugged Su Jingyao tightly and placed her gently on the couch.

Su Jingyao frowned tightly, her beautiful eyebrows seemed to be twisted into a ball. She covered her belly with one hand and tightly held Jun Zechen's broad palm with the other hand.

"Your Highness, it hurts..."

Her voice was weak and trembling, like a candle in the wind, which made people feel pity for her.

Seeing that she was holding her stomach all the time, Jun Zechen was full of confusion and worry, and didn't understand why she had a stomachache.

But he quickly reached out his other free hand and gently placed it on her belly, soothing her tenderly.

"Yaoyao, wait a moment. The imperial physician will be here soon."

Jun Zechen's brows were tightly furrowed, as if the word "Chuan" was deeply engraved on them, and his eyes also revealed an extremely cold sword light, which made people afraid.

Miaoyun hurried back to Xiyan Palace with a cup of scented tea in her hand.

"Master, have a cup of scented tea to warm your body. You are sweating on your forehead."

Su Jingyao slowly took the scented tea and took a sip. Under her drooped eyelashes, there was an elusive meaning.

Miaoyun took the teacup she had drunk from and quietly left.

Gradually, Su Jingyao felt dizzy, her consciousness became blurred, and she finally passed out.

All of this was naturally part of her plan.

Of course she would not hurt her child. Her stomach didn't hurt at all, but the injury on her ankle was extremely painful. She pretended to have a stomachache so that no one would notice anything wrong.

The cup of tea that Miaoyun brought was naturally what she had ordered in advance. It contained the Chinese medicinal herb aconite, which would temporarily cause pulse disorder.

When the imperial physician came to take her pulse, he would naturally be able to tell that she was pregnant and had a miscarriage.

Jun Zechen would also tell the imperial physician that she had been having stomachaches before she fainted. The imperial physicians in the palace were all shrewd people, so they naturally knew how to phrase the words in order to gain the greatest benefit for themselves.

The first child of the Eastern Palace had a miscarriage at the Crown Princess' birthday banquet, and the mother even fainted, which would inevitably alarm the Queen.

Today, the Crown Princess beat the concubine in the Eastern Palace, causing her to have a miscarriage. In addition, given all the previous actions of the Crown Princess to usurp the Crown Prince, the Queen will certainly not be able to easily expose it.

After Su Jingyao fainted, Jun Zechen's face instantly became gloomy and depressed, as if covered with dark clouds, and the terrifying aura made people shudder.

He gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead, "Where's the imperial physician?"

His voice was filled with anxiety and anger, like a volcano about to erupt.

As soon as he finished speaking, Anshun rushed in with Doctor Li in a panic.

Just as Doctor Li was about to salute, he was rudely interrupted by Jun Zechen.

"Come over here, the concubine has fainted, come and see what's going on!"

Jun Zechen's voice was as cold as ice, carrying with it an unquestionable majesty.

Doctor Li hurried forward, his hands trembling slightly, and began to take Su Jingyao's pulse.

As time went on, his expression became more and more surprised, and his heart was filled with confusion and shock.

This……

Seeing that he was slow to speak, Jun Zechen pursed his lips into a stiff straight line and shot at Doctor Li with eyes like sharp blades.

"What happened to the concubine?" His voice was low and rapid, full of worry.

"Your Highness, congratulations, Your Highness, the concubine is almost a month pregnant!"

There was a hint of excitement in Doctor Li's voice.

When Jun Zechen heard this, he was struck by lightning and froze in place.

She is pregnant? !

A surge of joy surged in his heart; this was his first child!

Jun Zechen's heart was beating violently, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

Then he asked nervously, "Before the concubine fainted, she kept saying she had a stomachache. Go check on her and see if there's anything wrong with her body!"

His voice was filled with anxious concern and a barely perceptible tremor.

"Your Highness, the concubine's pulse is a little disordered because she has a miscarriage. Although there is no sign of miscarriage, she still needs to recuperate well. I will prepare pregnancy-stabilizing medicine for her right away." Doctor Li said respectfully.

"Go!"

Jun Zechen waved his hand, his voice full of urgency.

Ling Yue, who followed behind, staggered and almost fell when he heard the imperial physician's words.

Su Jingyao is pregnant?

Ling Yue pursed her lips with bitterness. Isn't this what she expected?

Now that Su Jingyao is pregnant, His Highness will no longer have to favor her, and will His Highness's heart return to her?

He said that he would not fall in love with anyone else, and Su Jingyao was just a tool for His Highness to continue the family line.

After Doctor Li left, the female doctor who followed him began to carefully check the injuries on Su Jingyao's legs and ankles.

Jun Zechen walked outside with steady steps, and Ling Yue followed him. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were sharp.

He wanted to find out what happened today.

After going out, An Jinyan also arrived at Xiyan Palace.

After she fell into the water, her maid acted quickly and found someone to pull her out of the water.

At this moment, her clothes were still wet and stuck to her body, and there was a clear slap mark on her face. She looked disheveled, but because of her delicate makeup, she did not look ugly but rather looked more pitiful.

The reason why An Jinyan hurried to Xiyan Palace without changing her clothes was naturally to confront the Crown Princess face to face. She didn't want to be wrongly accused for no reason.

Jun Zechen sat in the first seat with a gloomy face. The powerful aura emanating from his body was like an invisible pressure that came towards him.

His eyes were as cold as ice, staring closely at the two people in front of him.

"Tell me, what happened today?"

Jun Zechen's voice was low and majestic, as if carrying a heavy weight.

Upon hearing the voice, An Jinyan knelt down on her knees, but her back remained straight. Then she began to cry and complain.

"Your Highness, I really don't know how I have offended the Crown Princess. She slapped me for no reason and pushed me into the lotus pond. Woo woo..."

Her tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, and her look was so pitiful.

"Don't spit bloody words at me, An Liang Di. If you hadn't been disrespectful to me, I wouldn't have hit you."

There was a chill in Ling Yue's voice, and her eyes were as cold as a knife, shooting straight at An Jinyan.

Then, she turned to Jun Zechen and said, "Your Highness, it was because An Liangdi spoke wildly that I beat her. And I did not push her into the lotus pond. She pushed me and fell into the lotus pond by accident, and then she pushed me back."

"What did she say?"

Jun Zechen's voice became colder and colder. His eyes glanced back and forth between Ling Yue and An Jinyan, but he did not directly believe the words of either one.

Hearing Jun Zechen's question, Ling Yue's heart tightened. She pursed her lips and a look of pain appeared on her face.

At that time, she was the only one who heard what An Liangdi whispered in her ear. An Liangdi mocked her by saying that she was infertile.

How could she say such difficult words in front of everyone?

At this moment, she felt as if her whole body was enveloped by a chill, which was the feeling brought to her by Jun Zechen's coldness.

She even wondered if Aze didn't believe her...

When An Liangdi saw that the Crown Princess remained silent, she immediately raised her voice.

"Your Highness, I have always been respectful to the Crown Princess. When we had a conflict today, I just casually said that Your Highness stayed in Xiyun Palace last night, and the Crown Princess treated me like this without any reason. I am really wronged, wuwu..."

As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her handkerchief.

However, there was a subtle glimpse of pride and calculation in his lowered eyes.

When Jun Zechen heard this, his eyes darkened and he pondered in his heart.

Ling Yue was indeed capable of doing things like hitting people out of jealousy, but he didn't expect Ling Yue to become so presumptuous now.

In public, she did not have the composure and dignity that a princess should have.

There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but more of disappointment.

Jun Zechen stared at Ling Yue with cold eyes. Ling Yue met his gaze, her eyes full of sadness and despair.

Her lips trembled slightly, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start.

Finally, she said stubbornly: "I don't have it!"

There was a hint of reluctance and grievance in her voice.

Jun Zechen sometimes doesn't know how to deal with Ling Yue. He wants Ling Yue to be more sensible, but her ignorance is caused by his previous indulgence and pampering of her.

Jun Zechen turned the ring on his hand, and there was an unfathomable dark vortex in his lowered eyes.

Before he could figure out how to deal with the matter, Aunt Jinhua, who was beside the queen, walked over with steady steps.

"Your servant pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Aunt Jinhua bowed slightly and saluted.

"Get up." Jun Zechen's voice was low and majestic.

"Your Highness, the Queen heard that the concubine was pregnant, so she specially ordered me to come and visit, and brought the Queen's oral instructions. Your Highness, please listen to her orders." Aunt Jinhua's voice was clear and loud.

When Ling Yue heard this, his heart tightened and he knelt down quickly.

Her body was trembling slightly, and her heart was filled with anxiety and fear.

Aunt Jinhua cleared her throat and read out the order:

"The Crown Princess has a bad character and is jealous by nature. She even beat up the concubine in the East Palace and affected the heir to the throne. Such behavior is truly intolerable.

The Crown Princess was ordered to be confined to her room for two months from now on. During this period, she was required to copy the palace rules a hundred times as a warning to others.

I hope he can reflect on himself and repent, cultivate his character and abide by his duties in the future."

Every word Aunt Jinhua spoke hit Ling Yue's heart like a heavy hammer.

"Your Highness, I am my concubine..."

Ling Yue raised her head and looked at Jun Zechen, her eyes full of pleading and expectation.

How she hoped that Jun Zechen would plead for her and believe that she was innocent.

But Jun Zechen didn't know how to deal with Ling Yue, although he knew that the problem between Ling Yue and An Jinyan was not necessarily all Ling Yue's fault.

However, as his legitimate wife, she must have the bearing and manners of a legitimate wife. She was jealous by nature and beat concubines. If the Queen Mother investigated deeply, she would have sufficient reasons to be deposed as the Crown Princess.

Jun Zechen interrupted her and said in a cold voice: "Anshun, take the Crown Princess back to Qiluan Palace."

"An Liang Di was frightened today, but she committed insubordination and offended the Crown Princess. She will be confined for a month."

"Your Highness...I..."

An Liangdi originally wanted to defend herself, but when she saw the prince's cold and handsome face, the words came to her lips but she couldn't say them.

Then she responded, turned around and left Xiyan Palace.

Although she was under house arrest for a month, An Jinyan believed that this was just the Crown Prince's way of protecting the Crown Princess's face.

One month after the ban was lifted, the Crown Princess was still under house arrest. Now Concubine Su is pregnant. By then, no one in the Crown Prince's backyard will be her rival. She will firmly grasp His Highness' heart.

An Jinyan had a smug smile on her face.

Ling Yue didn't expect Jun Zechen to treat her like this. She left Xiyan Palace in a daze.

His footsteps were heavy and slow, as if every step exhausted all his strength.

An Jinyan followed him out. She took a few quick steps and caught up with Ling Yue with a smug smile on her face and her eyes full of provocation and sarcasm.

"Sister Crown Princess, it's really God's blessing that your face is fine today. Oh no, you should thank Concubine Su who saved you even though she was pregnant with the royal heir."

Ling Yue glared at her fiercely, his eyes full of anger and hatred.

"An Liang Di is really scheming, I will not let you go!"

There was a hint of gritted teeth in her voice.

The two of them spoke in low voices, and their repressed tone was filled with coldness and hatred.

An Jinyan sneered and turned away.

Her steps were light and cheerful, as if she was celebrating her victory.

Ling Yue walked towards his palace, looking ahead with empty eyes, his heart filled with despair and helplessness.

Her husband doesn't believe her...
