Wearing a book, hooking him up

Day two.

Jun Zechen woke up in a daze, only to feel a splitting headache, as if thousands of small insects were biting his brain, and a heavy burden seemed to be pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He frowned and opened his eyes with difficulty.

When he lowered his head and glanced, he saw the woman in a bellyband sleeping peacefully in his arms.

In an instant, some details of yesterday came to my mind like a tide.

He was secretly drugged by his mother and sent to Xiyan Palace. In a daze, he seemed to say that he wanted to consummate his marriage with Su Jingyao, and then he pressed the woman under him and kissed her passionately.

And after that?

Jun Zechen's gaze slowly moved towards his naked body, his heart filled with doubt and confusion. Did they really consummate their marriage?

The sinister look in Jun Zechen's eyes became more and more intense, and without any hesitation, he forcefully pushed the woman in his arms away.

Su Jingyao was suddenly awakened by his sudden movement. Her eyes were a little dazed at first, and then slowly opened, like petals covered with dew in the early morning, gradually relaxing.

Then, the confusion quickly dissipated, and she sat up in shock, wrapped in the quilt. Just as she was about to speak, she was ruthlessly interrupted by Jun Zechen's icy voice.

"I didn't know Concubine Su had such a trick and hid it so deeply! I wonder if Concubine Su was satisfied with last night?"

Jun Zechen's voice was like the north wind in winter, harsh and full of irony. Every word seemed to be filled with ice, piercing Su Jingyao's heart directly.

Su Jingyao was already unhappy about being woken up. Was she being too rude to this bastard?

She raised her chin and looked at Jun Zechen firmly and calmly. Her eyes were clear and sharp, as if they could penetrate one's soul.

She opened her red lips slightly and said in a clear voice: "I have always had a clear conscience."

After that, she paused for a moment, and then continued in a cold tone: "I know very well that I am of humble status and unworthy of serving His Royal Highness. Therefore, I did not tarnish His Royal Highness's innocence last night, so please rest assured."

There was a flash of disbelief in Jun Zechen's eyes. He stared at Su Jingyao intently, as if trying to find a flaw in her face.

However, Su Jingyao's expression remained calm, without the slightest fluctuation.

After she finished speaking, she threw back the quilt without hesitation. Her movements were quick and decisive, without any dragging her feet. She got out of bed lightly, like a blooming white lotus, swaying gracefully.

She casually picked up a piece of clothing from the hanger next to her and put it on quickly. Her movements were skillful and natural. Her casual movements revealed a hint of charm.

Her bare feet stepped on the cold ground, and she walked step by step towards the place where she usually dressed. She walked firmly, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

Through the screen, Jun Zechen could see her walk to the dressing table, slowly sit down, then pick up the comb and gently comb her ink-like long hair. Her movements were gentle and graceful, like a beautiful painting...

He stared at her back, and a sudden feeling of regret welled up in his heart.

Those hurtful words just now were like a sharp blade, stabbing her mercilessly again.

And he seemed to have hurt her many times...

But what happened last night?!

If he hadn't touched her, then what could have removed the aphrodisiac from his body?

Jun Zechen pondered over it but still couldn't figure it out.

He pursed his lips tightly, his heart in deep conflict, the lines of conflict were clearly visible between his brows.

He wanted to ask the little girl who was hurt by his words, but every time the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, not knowing how to start.

Jun Zechen slowly got up from the bed. His movements were a little slow, and every movement was filled with a hint of hesitation and struggle.

He casually put on a plain and elegant moon-white robe, the hem of which swayed gently with his movements, and the sleeves of the robe fell casually on his sides like flowing clouds.

His ink-like long hair had lost its former neatness. A few strands of hair fell messily in front of his forehead, lightly brushing his well-defined face, adding a bit of unruly air.

His brows were slightly furrowed, forming a deep "川" character, and the frown also told of his inner pain and struggle.

Jun Zechen's eyes were wandering, sometimes falling on the place where the woman usually dressed, and sometimes moving away. His feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. He wanted to go over, but couldn't take that step.

There was deep regret and confusion in his eyes, his hands were clenched tightly, his knuckles turned slightly white from the force, and one could even see the protruding blue veins throbbing under the skin.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally decided to calm down and prepare to go out.

Just after leaving the bedroom, Miaoyun, who had been waiting outside, saw the prince appear. A barely perceptible strange color flashed across her eyes as she remembered her master's instructions last night.

She stepped forward and bowed quickly, saying softly, "Your servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Long live His Royal Highness."

"Get up."

"I wonder how your Highness feels today? The 'Bai Du Qing' that the master gave you last night, I wonder if it has any other side effects on your body. I have already informed Eunuch Anshun, and for the sake of your health, he has gone to ask the imperial physician for you."

"Hundred Poisons Clear?"

Jun Zechen felt doubtful and frowned even more tightly.

"Your Highness, 'Bai Du Qing' was the master's dowry. Madam Su spent a hundred gold coins to get it from the miracle doctor for the master. It is a pill that can cure most poisons on the market."

After hearing this, Jun Zechen was shocked, but his face remained calm.

He never imagined that Su Jingyao would be willing to give him such precious "Bai Du Qing" just to avoid consummating their marriage.

But if he had detoxified them, why were the two of them not wearing any clothes this morning and were in such an intimate posture?

He couldn't figure it out, so he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and decided to turn back to the bedroom to find Su Jingyao to find out...

He walked slowly and silently like a ghost, and went behind the screen, where Su Jingyao's dressing table was placed.

He was tall, and even before he crossed the screen, he could clearly see Su Jingyao in the bronze mirror.

At this moment, she was slightly lowering her head, her shoulders trembling from time to time, and tears were falling from the corners of her eyes like pearls from a broken string.

She is crying...

Jun Zechen felt as if there was a heavy burden on his heart, and he was extremely upset. The pain was like a needle prick, and it gradually spread throughout his body like a tide.

He took a deep breath, stepped over the screen and stepped into the house.

When Su Jingyao heard the noise, she quickly raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She lowered her head almost to her chest, then stood up and bowed to him.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Her voice was mixed with an irrepressible cry, which seemed to be there and not there, but was clear to the ear.

Jun Zechen raised his arm slightly, as if he wanted to help her up, but he only extended half of his arm and then retracted it abruptly.

All he said was, "Get up."

Su Jingyao slowly stood up and stood straight, but still kept her head down, as if she wanted to hide all her sadness and grievances.

Jun Zechen naturally knew what she was thinking. He had said many hurtful words before, but Su Jingyao had never cried in front of him.

"Why are you crying secretly?"

There was a hint of concern in his voice that he himself was not even aware of.

Su Jingyao stood there quietly, biting her lips so gently, the shallow teeth marks left on her red lips by her pearly teeth carried a hint of stubbornness and grievance that was barely noticeable.

After a short silence, she uttered those three words in a voice as small as a mosquito's: "I couldn't help it..."

"If you feel wronged, why don't you explain the reason clearly, and why don't you cry in front of me."

Wouldn't it make him feel more distressed if I cried in front of him?

The corners of Su Jingyao's eyes turned slightly red from crying, like a fading sunset on the horizon, which made people feel pity for her.

Her eyes, soaked with tears, were as clear as if washed by spring water, clean and pure, but there was a hint of sadness in the depths of her eyes.

After a pause, Su Jingyao slowly raised her head, her autumn-water-like eyes slightly raised, and her gaze met Jun Zechen's.

"Because I only cry in front of people who love me. Crying in front of people who don't care about me is just a joke."

There was a hint of stubbornness and helplessness in her voice, and every word seemed to be squeezed out with difficulty from the depths of her heart.

Jun Zechen clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turned slightly white from the force, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and his complicated gaze was fixed firmly on Su Jingyao.

Doesn't he feel sorry for her?

Then why was his heart aching now?

"Since you gave me the 'Hundred Poisons Clear', why were we so close and disheveled this morning?"

Jun Zechen bluntly raised his doubts, with confusion and questioning in his eyes.

Su Jingyao's body trembled violently when she heard that. Her eyes, which had been soaked with tears, were now sparkling with tears, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly.

"Shouldn't you ask your Highness yourself?"

There was a hint of resentment and grievance in her voice, and every word was filled with endless sadness.

After Jun Zechen knew about the Chinese medicine last night, he pinned her down and bullied her.

However, after taking the antidote, he almost didn't remember what happened. Could it be that he was still holding her and refused to let go?

"I misunderstood you, you..."

Before Jun Zechen finished speaking, Su Jingyao interrupted him coldly: "I know that Your Highness only has Sister Crown Princess in his heart, and I only regard Sister as a relative in the East Palace. Your Highness is Sister's husband, no matter what, I will not have anything to do with Your Highness."

Her voice was cold as ice, yet it carried a determination that could not be ignored.

She slowly turned her head away and stopped looking at Jun Zechen, but she still had to make things clear.

"Last night, His Highness was brought to Xiyan Palace by Aunt Jinhua. When I found that His Highness was not feeling well, I sent a maid to ask my sister to bring His Highness back to Qiluan Palace without hesitation. But I waited and waited, but my sister never showed up."

"I don't know if my sister has any misunderstandings. Your Highness should go to my sister and explain things to her as soon as possible. I have let go of what happened this morning and don't care."

After saying that, she lowered her head again, like a beautiful and lonely sculpture, standing there quietly, waiting for Jun Zechen to leave.

At this moment, Jun Zechen's thoughts had changed.

He stared at the woman in front of him, and his original suspicion completely dissipated.

Maybe in her heart, I am the person she hates the most.

If she wanted to seduce him, last night was the best time.

However, she used the 'Bai Du Qing' that her mother had prepared for her on him, just to remove the charm poison that had infected him.

At this point, Jun Zechen finally understood that it was not that he did not want to consummate the marriage, but that she was simply unwilling to consummate the marriage with him.

Jun Zechen's eyes were fixed on the top of the woman's head.

Just as she said, I should go to Qiluan Palace as she said and explain to Ling Yue everything that happened last night.

But the cold rejection from the woman in front of him was like a cold current that penetrated his body and made his heart a mess.

It shouldn't be like this.
