Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Another half month passed leisurely. Jun Zechen sat at his desk, quietly looking at the secret reports submitted by the people he had sent.

A confident smile slowly crept onto his lips; the Ye family was about to become his possession.

Just then, Anshun rushed in, looking flustered.

"Your Majesty! The Imperial Noble Consort has vomited blood and fallen into a coma, and has not yet regained consciousness!"

An Shun's voice trembled, his heart filled with extreme anxiety, and he didn't even dare to look at His Majesty's expression.

Jun Zechen felt his heart sink rapidly, as if he were falling into an abyss. "What happened?!"

Jun Zechen, who usually kept his emotions hidden, now had obvious anxiety and panic in his eyes, and his voice unconsciously rose.

"Miaoyun reports that the Imperial Noble Consort knows that you sent troops to surround the Su family," Anshun continued cautiously.

Jun Zechen's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and an indescribable fear suddenly welled up in his heart. Yao Yao must have misunderstood.

He and the Su family were merely setting a trap to lure the Ye family into a trap.

"Didn't I tell you to keep it from the Imperial Noble Consort?"

Jun Zechen's voice carried a hint of barely suppressed anger, and veins bulged on his forehead.

She's been in a bad mood lately. Jun Zechen didn't want the affairs of the court to add to her worries, but he didn't expect that even such a small matter as Anshun couldn't be arranged properly.

"The Imperial Noble Consort has been feeling depressed lately. She used to stay in Zhaochun Palace every day, and under my control, she couldn't receive any news from the court."

"The Imperial Noble Consort went out for a stroll today, but unexpectedly ran into Consort Ye..."

Anshun's voice grew softer and softer, and his head bowed even lower.

I wonder what Consort Ye and Imperial Noble Consort said to each other!

Jun Zechen's eyes instantly filled with icy coldness. Without saying another word, he rushed towards Zhaochun Palace like a whirlwind.

When he arrived at Zhaochun Palace, Imperial Physician Li had already taken the pulse of the Imperial Noble Consort and was arranging for someone to prepare the medicine.

"Your humble servant greets Your Majesty." Imperial Physician Li immediately knelt down and bowed.

Jun Zechen didn't even glance at him, his eyes fixed on Su Jingyao, who lay pale and lifeless on the bed.

Anger surged within me, but at the same time, I felt an overwhelming pang of heartache.

"What's wrong with the Imperial Noble Consort! I ordered you to come and treat her health every day, is this the result of your treatment?"

Jun Zechen's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, his lips were tightly pressed together, and he questioned in a deep voice, as if the voice was being squeezed out from between his teeth.

Physician Li was drenched in sweat, large beads of sweat constantly sliding down his forehead, and his voice was trembling with fear.

"Your Majesty, the Empress is troubled every day. I have advised her many times not to overthink things."

"Otherwise, no matter how much medicine you drink, it will be of no use. The reason Your Majesty fainted today is because she was provoked and her anger overwhelmed her."

Jun Zechen was completely puzzled and couldn't understand what she was thinking about every day.

He walked to the bedside and sat down, looking at Su Jingyao, who was haggard and pale as paper, with a very complicated expression.

His large hand gently stroked her cold face.

Her brows were furrowed, as if a deep sorrow was welling up inside her.

He hadn't been paying enough attention to her lately, which was why he hadn't noticed her unusual behavior.

Su Jingyao seemed to vaguely sense something as well; her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she were about to wake up at any moment.

Finally, she opened her eyes, which were still filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Then he saw Jun Zechen sitting next to him.

Her expression instantly turned terrified, like a startled rabbit. She shrank back abruptly, quickly moving away from him and curling up.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she forced herself to sit up again and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I will not be jealous of Consort Ye's favor, and I will never harm her."

"Did I do something wrong? No matter what I did wrong, Your Majesty, you can punish me however you like. I will obediently drink the medicine you prepared. Please, please spare my father."

Her voice trembled, and her eyes were filled with fear and terror towards Jun Zechen.

It was as if she had never imagined that the person she had been sleeping next to all along would actually be a wolf in sheep's clothing, who had always wanted to suck the blood of the Su family.

Jun Zechen was utterly shocked, and he could no longer control his expression.

My mind was filled with doubt. What was she saying?

"When did I say I wanted to deal with the Su family?" Jun Zechen's voice rose a few decibels, his face full of astonishment and confusion.

Su Jingyao didn't expect Jun Zechen to lie to her again. She shook her head in despair, her eyes blank and empty.

"I know everything, and I have seen your handwritten letter on the Su family's punishment. I will obey. Your Majesty does not want me to get pregnant. I will drink any medicine you ask. If Your Majesty wants to take back the Su family's power, please spare the lives of the entire Su family."

Su Jingyao's sadness seemed to be overflowing, and even her self-reference had changed.

Jun Zechen listened to her words, each one piercing to the heart, his eyes fixed intently on her current appearance.

The heartache was as if a million ants were gnawing at his heart, a feeling that defies description.

Her face was filled with fear; she was afraid of him.

Jun Zechen wanted everyone to respect and fear him, but he couldn't stand her looking at him with such a terrified and frightened expression.

The sadness in her eyes was almost overflowing, a deep-seated grief, a despair for him.

"Yaoyao, I have never..."

Just as Jun Zechen was about to explain, a palace maid from Jingyang Palace rushed in with a joyful expression.

"Your Majesty, this servant greets you. Your Majesty, this servant is from Consort Ye's palace. The imperial physician just took Consort Ye's pulse and said that Consort Ye is two months pregnant."

The palace maid reported this with great joy, her face beaming with excitement.

After all, His Majesty has only recently ascended the throne and does not yet have many heirs, so this pregnancy of His Highness is extremely precious.

Jun Zechen clenched his teeth so tightly that he didn't even dare to look at Su Jingyao.

His fierce gaze, sharp as a knife, shot straight at the kneeling palace maid. "Get out! Drag him out and execute him. Who let him in?"

His voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

The palace maid looked up in alarm, her eyes filled with disbelief, unable to believe what she was hearing.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! This servant was only ordered by my mistress to come and offer my congratulations. What have I done wrong, Your Majesty—"

The palace maid cried out in panic.

Seeing that His Majesty was cold and indifferent, with a terribly gloomy expression, An Shun quickly stepped forward and led the person away.

He inwardly groaned, "What a mess this is! Everything's in chaos!"

Jun Zechen slowly turned his body around.

Upon hearing the palace maid's report, Su Jingyao showed no emotion whatsoever. Her eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had lost all her luster, and her dazed appearance resembled that of a soulless puppet.

This heartbreaking sight caused Jun Zechen unbearable pain.

He wanted to hold her in his arms, to give her warmth and comfort, and to tell her that she had misunderstood, how could he possibly target the Su family, how could he possibly hurt her?

But he was afraid that his actions would provoke her again.

"Yaoyao..."
