Xiyan Palace.

Jun Zechen's face was as gloomy as water, and he walked into the hall with a solemn expression. His steps were firm and powerful, with an irresistible majesty.

When Miaoyun, Miaoxia and others saw this, they couldn't help but feel frightened.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually came to Xiyan Palace in person today, and he didn't look very good.

They knelt hurriedly and saluted: "Your servants pay their respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Long live His Royal Highness."

"Where is the concubine?"

Jun Zechen's voice was as cold as a spring, coming from above. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, making people dare not look directly at him.

"The master is in the bedroom, but the master is..."

Before Miaoyun could finish her words, Jun Zechen interrupted her with a quick and decisive wave of his hand, and then signaled that no one was allowed to follow.

He took a step forward, strode towards the inner hall and went straight to the bedroom.

At this time, Su Jingyao was quietly soaking in the medicinal bath.

Her skin took on a pink hue under the evaporation of the mist, as delicate as petals.

Today was the day for her to take a medicinal bath. If the Queen had not summoned her, she would have completed the treatment long ago.

After returning from Kunning Palace, her wrist was still a little sore, and Su Jingyao frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Nanny Li at the side signaled Miaoyue and Miaoxue to massage her wrists. Nanny Li continued to massage her body skillfully, determined to maximize the value of the medicinal bath.

Su Jingyao's long hair was tied up high. Because of Nanny Li's massage, her eyes were a little blurry, revealing an indescribable charm and temptation.

"Master, you have been soaking in the bath for quarter of an hour. Are you still tired?" Nanny Li asked with concern.

"much better."

"Then Master, please rest for a while and then you can get up."

Su Jingyao nodded. Her body was always soft and weak after taking a medicinal bath. After calming down in the bathtub for a while, Su Jingyao slowly got up.

Then, with the careful help of Miaoyue and Miaoxue, he walked out of the bathtub.

The naked body is as white and flawless as a jade carving, exuding a charming luster.

Outside the small door of the cabinet is her dressing room, which is covered by a screen. Su Jingyao has long been accustomed to walking naked to the dressing room after bathing and then changing into clothes.

Miaoyue and Miaoxue were busy packing up her various ointments, while Nanny Li was concentrating on counting the medicinal herbs and special fragrant oils, her eyes full of concentration and caution.

Su Jingyao walked to the small door of the cabinet and was about to step out, but she was unexpectedly bumped into Jun Zechen who rushed in with an angry face.

After Jun Zechen stepped into the bedroom, he saw no one. He heard some noise coming from inside, so he walked in.

Su Jingyao's body was already sore and weak after being massaged by Nanny Li.

With this collision, she couldn't help but cry out softly, "Ah!" with a hint of pain in her voice.

Su Jingyao had no idea that Jun Zechen would come over, but considering the Queen's question today, could it be that Jun Zechen came over today also because of the Queen?

There was a gleam in her eyes. Since the prey was here, she had to hook it.

Then, her legs seemed to lose strength and her body fell down involuntarily.

Jun Zechen was caught off guard and hugged the warm and soft girl. He was stunned for a moment, but the person in his arms seemed to be slipping away. His big hands instinctively hugged the woman's slender waist tightly.

Crystal clear water droplets were hanging on the naked body of the woman in his arms, and her skin was so delicate and smooth that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Jun Zechen had to use more force to steady her body and prevent her from sliding down.

In addition to his big hands, his chest also directly felt the woman's full and soft touch.

Jun Zechen was shocked. He never expected that he would encounter such a situation when he came to Xiyan Palace.

When Nanny Li, Miaoyue and Miaoxue heard their master's exclamation, they turned around hurriedly and were all extremely surprised to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Your servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Long live His Royal Highness."

Jun Zechen held the woman in his arms, the anger on his face had not yet dissipated, but in this embarrassing situation, he didn't know how to react for a moment.

After a moment's silence, Jun Zechen shouted sternly, "Get out!" His voice was filled with unquestionable majesty.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Nanny Li and the others hurriedly bowed and withdrew. Before leaving, they glanced at their master with concern.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't been to Xiyan Palace for such a long time, and when he came this time he looked very angry. How could her eldest daughter bear such humiliation? Nanny Li felt very distressed.

After everyone left, Su Jingyao bit her rosy lips and pressed her small hands hard against the man's broad chest, trying to break free from his arms.

However, Jun Zechen's big hands were like iron clamps, making it difficult for her to break free.

"Your Highness, let me go."

Her voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of grievance, her beautiful eyes were misty, and she looked at the man in front of her with confusion, not understanding why he lost his temper with her maid as soon as he arrived.

Jun Zechen suddenly came back to his senses and slowly loosened his grip.

Su Jingyao was like a frightened bird. She quickly dodged and turned her back in a hurry.

Jun Zechen's hands were still stained with water droplets from Su Jingyao's body. He suppressed the inexplicable feeling in his heart, but his eyes involuntarily fell on the woman.

The woman's skin was whiter than snow, like flawless jade, her beautiful butterfly bones were trembling slightly, and her spine went down along the line, outlining a graceful and exquisite figure, which made people's hearts flutter and it was difficult to look away.

The scarf wrapped around Su Jingyao was placed on the screen outside the cabinet. Her charming figure was exposed at the moment. She had no choice but to gently spread her long black hair like a waterfall.

The black hair cascaded down like a flowing spring or waterfall, instantly concealing the infinite scenery above the buttocks.

Jun Zechen saw it all. His face turned red and he wanted to turn around to avoid it, but he felt his body was stiff, as if he was under a spell and couldn't move.

Su Jingyao bit her lower lip lightly, opened her red lips slightly, and asked in a mosquito-like voice: "Your Highness, I want to go out and put on my dress."

Jun Zechen felt annoyed when he heard this. He came here to settle accounts with her, so how could he be seduced by her beauty!

Jun Zechen closed his eyes tightly, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm the emotions that were surging like a tide in his body.

After calming down a little, he turned around and quietly left the cabinet, waiting quietly in the bedroom outside the screen.

Su Jingyao heard the noise behind her and slowly turned around.

She raised her lips and smiled softly, almost seductively.

Men, is there any man who is not lustful?

Then she moved lightly with lotus steps, her figure graceful and delicate hands casually fiddling with a strand of hair, and walked out of the small door gracefully, taking the white underskirt from the screen outside and putting it on.

The inner skirt is a tube top style, which perfectly shows off her delicate collarbone and graceful shoulders.

Then, she put on a layer of floor-length gauze, and then she walked out slowly with light lotus steps.

After Su Jingyao went out, she saw Jun Zechen with his back to her. He seemed immersed in his own thoughts, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

She said softly, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you." Her voice was gentle, like a gentle breeze.

Jun Zechen turned around. Perhaps he was mentally prepared. Even though the woman in front of him was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, his eyes did not fluctuate much.

His eyes were as deep as a pool, and his handsome face was extremely solemn.

"Get up."

His voice was cold and emotionless.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Su Jingyao stood up and bowed slightly.

"Concubine Su is really good at this."

Jun Zechen's words were cold and mixed with a hint of sarcasm.

Su Jingyao didn't understand what was going on. Her watery eyes were filled with confusion and helplessness. She didn't understand what she had done wrong to make him so angry.

"Your Highness, I don't know what I did to make you so angry." There was grievance and confusion in her tone.

"I haven't come to Xiyan Palace for ten days. Are you feeling wronged?" Jun Zechen did not answer her question, but asked back.

"I dare not. Your Highness is the master of the East Palace. You can go wherever you want. I will not have any complaints."

Su Jingyao lowered her eyes and answered cautiously.

Jun Zechen looked at the pitiful and sincere appearance of the woman in front of him, but his heart was not moved at all.

This woman is just saying one thing in public and another behind the scenes, and she has mastered this trick to perfection.

"No complaints at all? Then do you want an heir to the throne?" Jun Zechen continued to ask.

Su Jingyao was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Did she want to say bluntly that she didn't want an heir? Not to mention the pressure from the queen today, if this sentence were to get out, it would probably implicate the entire Su family.

"Does Your Highness hate me so much? I know that Your Highness and my sister are in perfect harmony, so I never expect Your Highness to show me mercy."

"But the imperial decree granting my marriage to Your Highness clearly states that I am to give birth to Your Highness' royal heir. How can I say 'I don't want'?"

Tears gradually welled up in Su Jingyao's eyes, as full as water, and she just looked at him straight.

She bit her lips stubbornly, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

Jun Zechen's eyes sank slightly. He had questioned her like that, but she was still pretending to be weak in front of him.

"Then why did you go to Kunning Palace to look for the Queen Mother today? Isn't it for the sake of the royal heir?"

There was a hint of impatience in his tone.

"It is true that I went to Kunning Palace today because of the royal heir, but... it was the Empress who summoned me, so I had to go."

Su Jingyao explained softly, her beautiful eyes filled with helplessness and pain.

There was a hint of unnaturalness in Jun Zechen's eyes, and he frowned slightly. Could it be that he really misunderstood her?

But in the past, his mother had never paid much attention to the affairs in his backyard.

When he married Ling Yue, he had brought Ling Yue to pay his respects to his mother, but her mother waved her hand and said that he could manage the affairs of the backyard on his own. She also said that dealing with the concubines in the harem every day was tiring enough and the Crown Princess did not need to visit her all the time.

Could it be that the Queen Mother didn't want to interfere in his backyard, but really disliked Ling Yue?

Su Jingyao had been in the Eastern Palace for only ten days when her mother summoned her in person. For her sake, the queen even sent her aunt Jinhua to the imperial study to let her father give her a lecture.

"What did you do in Kunning Palace?"

Jun Zechen's voice was much softer than before.

"I chatted with the Queen for a few words, and then... I returned to the palace."

Su Jingyao's eyes were a little evasive. She lowered her head slightly, and a few strands of hair fell and brushed her cheeks.

"I heard that you stayed in Kunning Palace for almost the entire afternoon. What did you say to my mother?" Jun Zechen stared at her and asked slowly.

The Queen Mother already disliked Ling Yue. If Su Jingyao pretended to be weak and complained again, he could almost guess that the Queen Mother would hate Ling Yue even more.

However, his mother and Ling Yue were both people he cherished, so he naturally did not want to see the relationship between them being so unharmonious.

"Your Highness, I really have never said anything to the Queen."

Su Jingyao opened her red lips slightly, her gentle voice was mixed with a hint of helplessness, and her pretty face was full of earnestness.

Jun Zechen frowned slightly, feeling doubtful.

Su Jingyao raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes, as bright as glass, were like the stars in the midnight sky, full of sincerity, she stared at him intently, as if there were thousands of words in her eyes.
