Wearing a book, hooking him up

Jun Zechen sat upright on the imperial carriage, his expression revealing a hint of anxiety.

Today has really wasted too much time.

At this moment, suddenly, the voice of a palace maid was heard.

She suddenly rushed to the front of the imperial carriage, her voice clearly filled with tears, "Your servant pays respect to His Majesty."

A gloomy look instantly covered Jun Zechen's face before he could say anything.

Fuquan, who was standing by, had already shouted, "How dare you, a mere palace servant, stop the emperor's carriage? Do you want to die?"

"Eunuch Fuquan, I am Meixiang, the imperial concubine's personal maid." The maid said hurriedly.

After hearing this, Jun Zechen frowned.

He asked in a low voice, "What happened to the imperial concubine? Why are you not waiting by her side? Why are you here to look for me?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine has been in a nightmare since she drank the medicine and fell asleep today. When she woke up just now, she didn't see Your Majesty and was extremely panicked. She hasn't even had dinner yet."

Meixiang's voice was full of pleading.

"The Empress has been poisoned and has not recovered yet. How can she skip dinner? However, Your Majesty is not here. No matter how we persuade her, she refuses to eat. I beg Your Majesty to go to Yikun Palace to see her."

As she spoke, Meixiang's face was filled with anxiety and her body was trembling slightly.

Jun Zechen's fingers slowly turned the ring on his hand and he was silent for a long time.

Then he said, "Let's go to Yikun Palace."

Let’s go see Ling Yue first. Her body can’t stand this kind of torture. After accompanying her to finish dinner, we’ll go to Zhaochun Palace.

Yikun Palace.

Jun Zechen walked in and saw Ling Yue half leaning against the head of the bed with a gloomy look on his face, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

He walked closer and asked softly, "Why don't you have dinner? You haven't recovered yet, so don't act like a spoiled brat."

When Ling Yue saw him, a light flashed in her eyes for an instant, and then she knelt up from the bed, stretched out her arms and hugged him tightly.

"Your Majesty, I am scared. I just had a nightmare. Someone was poisoning me in the dream. Woo woo..."

Ling Yue's voice was full of fear and grievance, and her body was trembling slightly.

"No, don't be afraid. I will not let anyone who hurts you go. I will definitely punish those who poisoned you behind your back."

Jun Zechen patted her back gently to comfort her, his eyes stern.

"You have been lying down for so long today and have not eaten anything. Get up and have a meal. I will accompany you."

Hearing this, Ling Yue raised his head and looked at him, "Your Majesty, have you had your meal yet?"

Jun Zechen shook his head. He was originally planning to go to Zhaochun Palace for dinner.

When Ling Yue heard this, a smile immediately broke out on her face.

"Then Your Majesty and I can use it together?"

There was a hint of complexity in Jun Zechen's eyes, but seeing Ling Yue's expectant look, he finally nodded.

The palace servants moved quickly and soon placed the meals on the table.

Jun Zechen didn't eat much, just picked up a piece of food with chopsticks from time to time.

During this time, he asked casually: "Yuer, do you know what day it is today?"

Ling Yue, who was eating the food in the bowl, lowered his head, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

Then he looked up with a puzzled look on his face, "Huh? Today is the third day of March, is it a special day?"

Then Ling Yue turned her head and looked at Meixiang with a puzzled look, and Meixiang shook her head gently at her.

"It's okay, Yue'er, please have your meal." Jun Zechen said.

After finishing the meal, Jun Zechen wanted to get up and leave several times, but Ling Yue cleverly changed the subject every time.

"Your Majesty, would you please stay with me in Yikun Palace today? I can't sleep without Your Majesty." Ling Yue pleaded aggrievedly.

Jun Zechen did not agree to her immediately, but said slowly: "Go to sleep, I will accompany you and wait for you to fall asleep."

Jun Zechen sat down beside the bed. Ling Yue lay on the bed and looked up at him. "Your Majesty, aren't you going to sleep?"

"I have something to do later, Yue'er, go to sleep first. I'll wait for you to fall asleep." Jun Zechen said softly.

Ling Yue's lips curled up into a forced smile, "Your Majesty, please do not hurt your body no matter how busy you are."

One of her hands under the quilt was clenched into a fist, her nails seemed to be digging into the flesh, and her tightly closed eyes were trembling slightly.

Does he like Concubine Chun Shu so much?

Does he have to go to Zhaochun Palace tonight?

Time passed by bit by bit, and Jun Zechen's brows became more and more furrowed.

It’s almost midnight. Is Yaoyao asleep by now?

Jun Zechen looked down at Ling Yue and saw that she looked peaceful and calm. Then he carefully released his hand that Ling Yue was holding tightly.

Then he strode out of Yikun Palace.

As soon as he came out, he couldn't wait to get on the imperial sedan chair and immediately ordered, "Quick, go to Zhaochun Palace."

When Jun Zechen stepped into Zhaochun Palace, he saw Miaoyue and Miaoxue, the personal maids who usually served the little woman, talking in low voices outside the palace gate.

"Miaoxue, after the master came back today, he didn't change his clothes, didn't eat dinner, and the palace door has been closed for the whole afternoon. How about we go in and persuade the master?"

Miao Yue frowned and asked with a worried look on her face.

"Sister Miaoyun and Sister Miaoxia are in there. The master just wants to be alone now." Miaoxue responded softly, her eyes full of anxiety.

"When Eunuch Fuquan informed the master, he clearly said that His Majesty would come to accompany the master later, but it is already midnight and His Majesty is still in Yikun Palace. I am afraid he will not come."

There was a hint of loss in Miaoyue's voice.

"The master has been drinking all the time and hasn't eaten. I'm really worried that it will hurt her body." Miaoxue's eyes were filled with deep worry.

"Yes, even if the master gave birth to a prince, it would not be as important as the imperial concubine in His Majesty's heart. But today is the master's birthday, and His Majesty is unwilling to come. How sad the master must be, alas..."

When Jun Zechen heard their conversation, his expression instantly turned extremely ugly.

Not only did she not eat, she even drank on an empty stomach?

Moreover... he never thought that Yaoyao's importance in his heart would be less than Ling Yue's!

"Your master is willful, don't I know how to persuade him as a servant? If your master has any health problems, I will only ask you!"

Jun Zechen's deep and majestic voice suddenly sounded.

Miaoyue and Miaoxue were startled at first, with panic on their faces, and then they immediately saluted in a panic, saying in a trembling voice: "Your servants pay their respects to Your Majesty."

Jun Zechen pretended not to hear them and ignored them completely. He walked straight into the hall with a stern face.

Su Jingyao sat on the couch, with a slender white hand gently supporting her pink cheek.

The other hand held the wine glass leisurely and shook it casually.

Her eyes were blurred and hazy, with a smoky blush at the corners of her eyes, as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom.

Miaoyun anxiously advised, "Master, you don't drink much to begin with. You've already drunk several pots today. This is too harmful to your health!"

Miaoyun spoke anxiously while reaching out to try to take the wine glass from her hand.

Su Jingyao immediately pouted her rosy little lips and yelled with a bit of drunkenness.

"Since I am your master, I can do whatever I want in Zhaochun Palace, and no one is allowed to stop me!"

After saying this, he willfully moved the wine glass aside.

Miaoyun and Miaoxia's faces were filled with anxiety and helplessness. They could only stand there helplessly, at a loss as to what to do.

Jun Zechen walked in and saw her like this.

When Miaoyun and Miaoxia saw His Majesty, they were surprised for a moment, then hurriedly saluted: "Your servants pay their respects to Your Majesty."

"You guys step back." Jun Zechen said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Miaoyun and Miaoxia quickly went out as if relieved.

After they went out, they exchanged glances with Miaoyue and Miaoxue outside the hall, their eyes full of joy, and then they looked at each other and curled the corners of their lips, as if everything was as planned.

Inside the hall, Jun Zechen sat on the other side of the couch, looking at her with deep and focused eyes.

Then he took the glass from her limp hands.

Su Jingyao's originally blurred eyes began to slowly focus, and she seemed a little unable to believe who she was seeing.

Then he blinked his big, watery eyes.

"His Majesty?"

As soon as her mind realized that it was him, she shook her slender body and tried to stand up and salute.

Seeing that she was about to fall, Jun Zechen was quick to reach out his strong hands and pull her into his arms.

"Um...let go."

Su Jingyao twisted in his arms.

"Why do you drink so much wine?"

Jun Zechen's brows furrowed slightly, his tone carrying a hint of concern and reproach.

Su Jingyao suddenly laughed foolishly, her smile as innocent as a child's, "Hey, it tastes good."

"Your Majesty, give me the glass!"

At this moment, Su Jingyao, perhaps because of the alcohol, was much bolder than usual.

She reached out without hesitation and snatched the wine glass from the man's big hand.

With her slender hands trembling slightly, she poured herself another full glass.

Seeing that she was about to bring the wine to her lips again, Jun Zechen's voice was low and heavy, and slowly sounded with an unquestionable majesty.

"Wine is bad. Drinking is harmful to your health."

When Su Jingyao heard this, she was stunned for a moment.

Then her eyes began to become vague and her gaze wandered.

She slowly raised the wine glass in her hand in front of her, her eyes fixed directly on the glass.

"Under the moon and in the wind, I am free and at ease. When I am in a good mood, I sing loudly, and when I am tired, I sleep."

"But I can't sleep tonight no matter what."

She was held in the man's arms, and then she shifted her gaze to the man.

The two of them just stared at each other like this, and her eyes seemed to contain endless sorrow and melancholy.

"Your Majesty said the wine is not good, but even though the wine is not good, it can help me sleep peacefully."

After saying this, she gently raised her other white jade-like hand and slowly stroked his angular face.

There was a strong sense of grievance in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is fine, but it kept me awake all night."

As soon as she finished speaking, a tear in her eyes unknowingly slid down her cheek.

Taking advantage of the moment when Jun Zechen was slightly stunned, she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass.

Jun Zechen really couldn't find words to describe the throbbing and heartache that was surging in his heart at this moment.

Today he broke his promise to her. He had always thought that she was magnanimous and would not care, but he never expected that it would make her so upset.

Just because of her words, Jun Zechen's heart suddenly ached.

Even his eyes, as deep as a dark pool, gradually began to become moist.

He had hardly ever cried since he could remember.

But at this moment, the sourness in my heart was so strong that I couldn't bear it at all and couldn't control it at all.

Jun Zechen hugged her tightly, his voice low and full of pity.

"Don't cry, it hurts me."
