Wearing a book, hooking him up

Qianqing Palace.

"Anshun, go and call Concubine Ye to accompany the emperor."

Jun Zechen sat on the dragon chair and waved his hand casually.

In order to make the Ye family relax their vigilance, Jun Zechen would summon Concubine Ye to the Qianqing Palace from time to time recently.

"Yes." Anshun responded quickly and was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, Jun Zechen suddenly frowned, "Wait."

Anshun paused when he was about to retreat, then stood respectfully in place, waiting for further instructions from His Majesty.

"What has the Imperial Concubine been doing these days?" Jun Zechen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort spends most of her time in Zhaochun Palace and seldom comes out. Apart from managing trivial matters in the harem, she spends her days accompanying the eldest prince." Anshun lowered his head and answered respectfully.

"I noticed that the Imperial Concubine has not been in a good mood these days. Yesterday, I asked Imperial Doctor Li to take the Imperial Concubine's pulse. What did Imperial Doctor Li say?"

Jun Zechen frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes. He always felt that Yaoyao was a little absent-minded these days, and even her smile was slightly forced.

But every time I asked her what was wrong, she just said it was nothing.

"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician Li said that the Imperial Concubine seemed to be a little depressed recently. He then asked the palace maid who served her closely, and she said that the Imperial Concubine had been having many dreams at night and waking up easily." Anshun answered truthfully.

Jun Zechen's brows were tightly knitted together.

Could it be that Yaoyao is unhappy because he has summoned Concubine Ye more often recently?

It’s just that the Ye family’s affairs have been handled intensively recently, and I have to deal with too many state affairs, so I have indeed been to Zhaochun Palace less frequently.

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Anshun, ask the Imperial Concubine to come to the Qianqing Palace to accompany the emperor."

After hearing His Majesty's order, Anshun withdrew and sent someone to Zhaochun Palace.

Jun Zechen continued to handle government affairs. In order to make the Ye family relax their vigilance, Jun Zechen was recently making plans with the Su family.

He also "accidentally" leaked to the Ye family several letters that he had previously used to secretly deal with the Su family. After the Ye family received such "secret" information, they completely believed that the Su family had been abandoned by His Majesty.

Perhaps the favor of the Imperial Concubine is just a way for His Majesty to confuse the Su family.

When Jun Zechen wrote these letters, he did have the intention of dealing with the Su family, but he changed his mind later because of Yaoyao.

Thinking of this, Jun Zechen shook his head helplessly. He never thought that a woman would have such a great influence on him.

Now, ministers in the court have turned away from the Su family one after another, and the situation of the Su family looks "difficult" in the court.

The people of the Ye family are now arrogant and domineering in the court, but in the past they were respectful to the Su family and did not fall out with them.

But now, when they see the Su family, they all look down on them.

The branches of the Ye family in various cities have become much more friendly to the imperial envoys sent by His Majesty since they learned from the head of the Ye family that His Majesty had personally written several letters to deal with the Su family.

Every day he took the imperial envoy out to eat, drink and have fun, and had a great time.

However, they didn't know that all the imperial envoys came with a mission and were acting secretly.

Jun Zechen sat at the desk, his face stern, his expression solemn and focused, staring at the memorials in front of him and the secret reports sent back by ministers sent to other cities.

Sometimes he concentrated on thinking, sometimes he wrote notes, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the handling of government affairs.

At this time, the young eunuch who was sent by Anshun to Zhaochun Palace came back in a hurry. He bent over and walked in carefully.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Get up." Jun Zechen said lightly without raising his head, still immersed in government affairs.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Miaoyun said that the Imperial Concubine did not sleep well last night and is resting now." The little eunuch lowered his head and reported respectfully.

Jun Zechen paused with his hand that was originally holding the pen, and he always felt that something was not right.

Is Yaoyao sick?

Jun Zechen shifted his gaze from the memorials to the pile of memorials that had not yet been processed. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly stood up.

"Anshun, go to Zhaochun Palace."

I still have to go to Zhaochun Palace to see her. I always feel uneasy if I don’t see her. It won’t be too late to deal with the memorial when I come back later.

After saying that, he took big strides and walked hurriedly out of the hall.

Zhaochun Palace.

Jun Zechen strode over and when he raised his eyes he saw Miaoyun guarding the door of the bedroom.

His face was calm, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and he asked, "Is your master asleep?"

When Miaoyun first saw His Majesty, she was slightly startled at first, but soon returned to normal. She had long been accustomed to His Majesty coming directly into Zhaochun Palace without informing anyone.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the master has fallen asleep."

Jun Zechen walked in without any hesitation.

At first glance, I saw Su Jingyao lying quietly on the bed in a gauze undershirt. She seemed to be sleeping uneasy, with her brows slightly furrowed.

Her usually rosy red lips now looked somewhat pale.

Jun Zechen walked to the bed and sat down, reaching out his hand and gently stroking the loose hair on her forehead.

Su Jingyao was suddenly awakened by his actions and opened her eyes immediately.

The moment her eyes saw him, a trace of panic flashed across her face, and then she subconsciously shrank back into the bed as if she was a little scared.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize that his reaction was a bit too great.

Su Jingyao calmed herself down and called softly, "Your Majesty?"

Jun Zechen looked at her series of reactions and his face suddenly darkened.

Anshun just told him that she had been having nightmares and waking up easily recently. He originally thought that it might be because she was just a little tired from dealing with the affairs of the harem.

But looking at her reaction at this moment, it was completely different!

"What's wrong with Yaoyao?" Jun Zechen suppressed his inner anxiety, his tone revealing obvious concern and worry.

Su Jingyao lowered her head, her black hair falling in front of her chest, and shook her head gently.

Jun Zechen looked at her like this, and a surge of anger inexplicably welled up in his heart.

Is there anything that can't be told to him?

"For the past half month, I have noticed that you are in a worse and worse mood. Every time I ask you what's wrong, you say you are fine. I originally thought that you were really fine, but look at you now, do you look fine?"

His voice was deep and powerful, with a hint of anger, but this anger clearly revealed his heartache for her.

Su Jingyao slowly raised her head, forced a smile on her lips, and said, "I am really fine."

Jun Zechen was really helpless because of her stubbornness and he sighed deeply.

He stretched out his hand and pulled her, who was curled up in the silk quilt, in front of him.

"Yaoyao, are you unhappy because I favor Concubine Ye? I told you before that you don't need to take these women in the palace to heart."

Su Jingyao bit her lip tightly and stammered, "I don't care. I am your Majesty's Imperial Concubine. I should advise your Majesty to treat everyone equally and not be jealous."

Jun Zechen looked at her so adorable, his eyes full of pity, and could only try to make his tone as gentle as possible.

He didn't know whether she really didn't mind or was just pretending to be magnanimous.

"I have been busy with government affairs recently, and I have been less likely to come to Zhaochun Palace. After a while, I promise you that I will accompany Yaoyao every day, okay?"

Jun Zechen spoke softly, his eyes fixed on her.

"Your Majesty, your government affairs are the most important. Your Majesty, don't worry about me. I am really fine. I just didn't sleep well last night."

Su Jingyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and tried her best to show a sweet smile, as if she really didn't want him to worry.

"Then why did Doctor Li take your pulse and say that you are depressed, have nightmares and wake up easily, and can't even eat a few bites of your favorite food during the day?"

Today, she didn't look as radiant as before, but instead looked a little sickly and haggard.

Jun Zechen's face became increasingly gloomy. He was really angry. He was angry at her for not taking her body seriously.

Su Jingyao slowly lowered her head and stammered, "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Li told me to rest more. I am really a little sleepy now and want to rest."

Her voice was so small, as soft as a mosquito, but her meaning was obvious: she was trying to drive people away.

After saying that, Su Jingyao gently lay on her side on the bed and closed her eyes.

Jun Zechen looked at her like this, feeling a little powerless. He really didn't know what was wrong with her.

But continuing to ask her would not yield any results, so she could only wait until he had resolved the Ye family's affairs before spending some time with her.

He sighed, his eyes filled with helplessness and worry.

Afterwards, Jun Zechen hurried back to the Qianqing Palace with a gloomy face.

As soon as he entered the palace, he immediately said in a deep voice: "Anshun, ask Imperial Doctor Li to go to Zhaochun Palace every day to carefully check the pulse of the Imperial Concubine. If the Imperial Concubine has any abnormality, he must come and report it immediately."

His voice was cold and firm, leaving no room for doubt.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Anshun responded quickly.
