Wearing a book, hooking him up

Su Jingyao accompanied Jun Zechen to finish dinner, and then played a game of chess with Jun Zechen.

Seeing that bedtime was approaching, she stood up and said softly, "Your Majesty, it is getting late. I will return to Zhaochun Palace. I will take my leave."

After saying that, Su Jingyao turned around slightly and pretended to leave.

Jun Zechen immediately held her hand and said slowly, "Stay in the Qianqing Palace tonight?"

Su Jingyao's eyes instantly showed a hint of doubt and grievance, and there seemed to be a flickering light in her eyes.

"Your Majesty promised to find a butterfly carp for me, but Your Majesty hasn't found one yet."

Her meaning was very clear. She didn't want to sleep with him until she found the butterfly carp.

Jun Zechen slightly increased the strength in his hands and gently pulled the person towards him. Su Jingyao staggered and was pulled between his legs.

Jun Zechen sat steadily, raising his head slightly, while Su Jingyao looked down at him condescendingly.

"I promised Yaoyao that I would not sleep with Zhaochun Palace until I found Butterfly Carp, but I did not promise Yaoyao that she could not sleep with Qianqing Palace."

There was a hint of teasing in Jun Zechen's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

There was a hint of shock in Su Jingyao's eyes, and she bit her teeth lightly.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "Your Majesty is too mean. Your Majesty clearly knows that this is not what I meant."

Jun Zechen ignored what she said, stood up, held her hand tightly and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.

Su Jingyao struggled a little, trying to free her hand from his, and shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty!"

But her strength was nothing in Jun Zechen's eyes.

Su Jingyao looked at his tall back and glared at him fiercely.

Sure enough, a man who can become an emperor cannot always patiently coax a woman, and his gentleness will not last long.

Autocratic, domineering and tyrannical are his basic characteristics.

Su Jingyao followed him into the bedroom. This was her first time stepping into the bedroom of the Qianqing Palace.

Jun Zechen's dragon bed is particularly eye-catching and surprisingly large, and the quilt cover is not the common bright yellow, but a mysterious black.

It was also carefully embroidered with a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon in gold thread, which flickered faintly under the candlelight.

"Go up." Jun Zechen said in a calm voice with no expression on his face.

Su Jingyao was a little annoyed by his sudden words.

I couldn't help but sarcastically said, "I don't like sleeping in a bed that other sisters have slept in. Your Majesty, why don't you just change the bed?"

Jun Zechen listened to her words without changing his expression.

"No woman has ever entered my bedroom. Yaoyao is the first one. Even if I summon concubines in the future, they will only go to the side hall."

Su Jingyao raised her eyebrows slightly, somewhat doubtful, but still reluctantly moved her feet onto the bed.

As soon as she got up, she quickly shrank to the innermost side of the bed like a frightened kitten.

The whole person was in a defensive posture.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but find it a little funny when he saw her like that.

All the women in the harem looked forward to his favor day and night, but this woman actually started to be on guard against him.

Jun Zechen took off his dragon robe, leaving only his underwear, then he gently lifted the quilt and lay down in it.

"Yaoyao, do you want to sleep in your dress?"

Su Jingyao certainly didn't want to sleep in her dress, as it would be very uncomfortable, but she was also afraid that she would lose control of this bastard.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Jun Zechen reached out and brought her into his arms, and his big hands began to untie her belt.

"I'll do it myself!" Su Jingyao shouted hurriedly.

Seeing her resistance, Jun Zechen didn't say much, but just let her go reluctantly and let her take it off herself.

After taking off her dress, Su Jingyao was only wearing her underwear, her pretty face full of defensiveness.

A pair of beautiful eyes stared at him vigilantly, and the whole person huddled far away in a corner of the bed.

Jun Zechen's inky black eyes locked onto her, and then he slowly said, "If I want, Yaoyao think you can escape?"

Then, his voice became softer again, "Come here, I just want to hug you."

Su Jingyao looked at him suspiciously. Can you really believe what a man says?

The look of doubt was evident on her face.

Jun Zechen couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He moved extremely quickly and immediately pressed Su Jingyao under him as soon as he stood up.

His hands were firmly placed on both sides of her body, and his deep eyes looked straight into hers.

"Yaoyao, do you think my temper is getting better and better?" His voice was a little angry.

After hearing his words, Su Jingyao slowly lowered her eyelashes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.

Then she slowly took off her underwear silently.

"What are you doing?" Jun Zechen hurriedly stopped her actions and frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty, doesn't you want it?" Su Jingyao's voice was filled with a hint of anger.

"Yaoyao must talk to me like this?" Jun Zechen frowned even more tightly.

"Since Your Majesty said that you like me, then what do you like about me? Do you like that I am kind and generous and only act like a spoiled child in front of you to please you?"

Su Jingyao's voice was very low, and even had a faint cry tone.

"I just envy your Majesty..."

"What do you envy her for?"

Jun Zechen's expression turned serious, his brows knitted tightly together. He wanted to know what she was thinking.

"I envy the noble concubine. No matter how she makes a scene or loses her temper in front of His Majesty, His Majesty will indulge her."

Her voice was small, and her slightly trembling tone was full of grievance.

"I envy the noble concubine and she will always be your majesty's favorite."

Jun Zechen sighed softly, then got off her, lay aside, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

A deep voice slowly sounded beside her ears, "Yaoyao is my favorite."

Jun Zechen said this very seriously. Among all the people in the harem, she was his favorite.

Su Jingyao buried her face in his arms, her voice a little dull.

"Can I believe it?"

In fact, Su Jingyao believed it in her heart, even though Jun Zechen himself might not be able to see clearly in his own heart.

But as an outsider between Jun Zechen and Ling Yue, Su Jingyao knew clearly that Jun Zechen did not have much love for Ling Yue, he just felt guilty.

It's just the lingering memories and promises from youth that are causing trouble.

"Well, Yaoyao is my favorite. I only feel guilty towards the imperial concubine."

When Jun Zechen said this, he seemed to be much more relaxed. He finally admitted the change in his feelings for Ling Yue, with a hint of relief on his face.

His originally tense expression also relaxed slightly.

He didn't like Ling Yue, and it could even be said that his previous feelings for Ling Yue were not true love.

Because of the heartbeat, heartache, sadness, helplessness, joy, and expectation that the woman in his arms had brought him... He had never experienced these with Ling Yue.

After hearing his affirmative answer, Su Jingyao finally let go of the tension in her heart and slowly let down her guard.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, then she reached out and gently hugged his waist.

It would be good if he could admit it, and she would root out all the guilt in his heart one by one.

"Go to sleep. I am going to keep Yaoyao here tonight just because I want to hold her to sleep. If Yaoyao doesn't want to, I won't force her."

Jun Zechen's voice was low and gentle, as if it could soothe all uneasiness.

Su Jingyao rested her head on his broad chest, listening quietly to his strong heartbeat. She was getting closer and closer to her goal.

This man's heart is her most crucial trump card in the harem struggle. Only by truly winning his heart can she stand firm in the harem.

Since she couldn't sleep so early and had nothing else to do, she decided to try to find out what Jun Zechen thought about the imperial concubine's poisoning.

Su Jingyao gently closed her eyes, parted her red lips, and spoke in a soft voice.

"Your Majesty, why do you and the Queen Mother want me to investigate the poisoning of the Imperial Concubine?"

Jun Zechen pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I originally wanted to convict An Zhaorong directly, but the Queen Mother was not satisfied with my decision. Since the Queen Mother asked you to investigate, then you can investigate."

At this moment, a barely perceptible hint of thought flashed across Jun Zechen's eyes.

In the harem, the only one who was dissatisfied with Ling Yue was An Zhaorong, and the evidence also pointed to An Zhaorong.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation and deal with An Zhaorong, but his mother tried to stop him.

For Yu Junzechen, the more he investigated the matter, the more disadvantageous it would be for Ling Yue, so he didn't want to investigate further.

The longer time goes on, the faster the murderer will destroy the evidence, and may even frame someone else. In the end, it may be those slaves who will be the ones to take the blame.

But his mother asked Yaoyao to investigate, and he had no choice but to agree.

Su Jingyao frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt in her tone, and said softly: "Is it because of the imperial concubine that Your Majesty wants to directly convict An Zhaorong?"

"I have read the evidence you have found. Although An Zhaorong is indeed a suspect, it cannot be directly proved that it was An Zhaorong who did it."

"An Zhaorong also came to see me when she was in the Eastern Palace. She was just a pitiful person who longed for Your Majesty."

"Maybe she was jealous of the imperial concubine before, but could An Zhaorong really do something like poisoning the imperial concubine, which would involve the entire family?"

Jun Zechen reached out and gently stroked her hair.

"Yaoyao had never seen the fighting in the harem before. After entering the East Palace, there are only you and the imperial concubine in my backyard. Both of you are pure-minded people, so naturally you don't understand the secrets of the harem."

Jun Zechen thought of his father's former harem and felt disgusted, his eyes darkening.

"An Zhaorong has ulterior motives. Yaoyao, you'd better avoid dealing with her."

"Well, I will listen to your Majesty. However, the Queen Mother trusts me, so I will naturally investigate this matter thoroughly and will definitely find out the murderer who hurt the imperial concubine." Su Jingyao said with a firm face.

"Yaoyao, don't worry too much." Jun Zechen said calmly.

When Su Jingyao heard this, she frowned slightly.

Jun Zechen should be very concerned about Ling Yue's poisoning. Why does it feel like his attitude is not right now?

Did he realize that Ling Yue was directing and acting on her own, so he didn't want to investigate further?

If he continued to investigate, Jun Zechen himself was afraid that the results he would find out would be hard for him to accept. He had always thought that his wife was kind and simple, but she hurt him just to win his favor.

If Jun Zechen had noticed this and didn't want to investigate further and wanted to deal with An Zhaorong as soon as possible, then Ling Yue's poison was not in vain.

Su Jingyao sneered in her heart.

Although Ling Yue's move was vulgar, it was clever.

Because even if Ling Yue used tricks, she would do it in a way that hurt herself. Even if Jun Zechen knew the truth, it was not certain whether he would feel disgusted or more guilty.

However, based on Su Jingyao's understanding of Jun Zechen, she would probably feel more guilty.

Oh, then don't blame her for throwing dirty water on Ling Yue.

Ling Yue didn't hurt anyone, but what if she framed someone else and made an innocent person bear the consequences of harming her?
