Su Jingyao did not try to stop Jun Zechen. After Jun Zechen left, Miaoyun came in.

"Your Majesty, when you moved to the Water Condensation Palace, because the palace was much larger, some palace servants were brought in."

"However, these palace maids were under the close surveillance of the servants and Granny Lin."

Miaoyun lowered her head slightly, her expression solemn.

"The palace maid who went out to invite Your Highness today was Qingzhi. Since entering Shui Ning Palace, Qingzhi has not behaved improperly and has never left Shui Ning Palace. She must have been someone arranged by the Crown Princess long ago and has been lurking in Shui Ning Palace."

Miaoyun frowned, a hint of worry in her eyes.

The Crown Prince's wife was already wary of him when the master had just entered the Eastern Palace. She was truly cunning and scheming. She even pretended to be magnanimous in front of the Crown Prince, showing no demeanor of a proper wife at all.

"What is Aokiji's role in the Water Condensation Palace?"

Su Jingyao narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Sometimes I would move some flowers and plants to the Shui Ning Palace, sometimes I would hang the master's clothes to dry, and sometimes I would help Miao Yun start a fire."

"Besides the four maids and Granny Lin, the other six palace maids in Shui Ning Palace, including Qing Zhi, were all assigned by the Imperial Household Department and did miscellaneous tasks."

Miaoyun looked troubled.

This is also what Miaoyun finds difficult. The Imperial Household Department is managed by the Empress. Whether it's punishing palace servants or identifying Qingzhi as the Crown Princess, solid evidence must be presented.

"Qingzhi has been in Shui Ning Palace for three months and has always been honest and dutiful. She has not had any connection with the Crown Princess. Even if we are very careful, we cannot possibly not use these palace servants."

Miaoyun was indignant. "The Crown Princess really started scheming the moment our master entered the residence!"

"The Crown Princess is indeed very different from what I imagined before entering the Eastern Palace. Now she even has real power in the Crown Prince's residence, but it's a pity..."

Su Jingyao shook her head slightly, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

Unfortunately, Ling Yue didn't know that sometimes, when a woman is too strong, she is naturally not favored. Someone like Ling Yue, who appears strong on the surface but is actually weak, is even more vulnerable.

Jun Zechen has been emperor for decades. He is resolute and has clear goals. His personality and talent are only the first step in attracting him. The second step is to let him experience what heartbreak is.

Miaoyun asked in confusion, "What's the pity?"

Su Jingyao shook her head and didn't continue, asking, "What did Qingzhi say at Huamei Residence?"

"Saying you have a headache and asking His Highness to come to Shui Ning Palace to see you is definitely because the Crown Princess deliberately had Qingzhi say this to get revenge for your last visit to Qi Luan Palace to curry favor."

Miaoyun analyzed the situation with a serious expression and a firm tone, her brows furrowed into a knot.

Su Jingyao sneered, her laughter filled with disdain. "Yes, isn't the Crown Princess trying to leave me speechless?"

Su Jingyao had already considered this issue when she decided to use the "spoiled and pampered concubine" persona.

Since this persona of competing for attention has been established, one must inevitably bear the drawbacks that come with it. In this world, what can be perfect in every way?

But no matter what kind of persona she had, it couldn't stop her from scheming against Jun Zechen, making him willingly hand over the position of Empress.

At that moment, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

Where is Aokiji now?

Su Jingyao asked lazily, seemingly unconcerned about what had happened that day. She leaned back on the couch, her eyes unfocused and unfocused.

"She has gone back to her room to rest, but you can tell she is very scared, probably because she is afraid that her master will secretly harm her."

Miaoyun frowned slightly.

"However, if Your Majesty punishes her at this time, the Crown Princess will have a handle to accuse Your Majesty of abusing palace servants, and then it will be difficult to explain to His Highness."

Mentioning Jun Zechen immediately brought to mind Jun Zechen's suspicious and distrustful expression just now.

Her eyes instantly sharpened.

Then, Su Jingyao suddenly raised her lips and smiled with exceptional purity, like a blooming jasmine flower, radiant yet unpredictable.

"Miaoyun, His Highness didn't trust me tonight. I was forced to admit that I sent someone to Huamei Residence to invite His Highness. But after His Highness left, I couldn't sleep all night. I drank the calming soup that Miaoyue had been keeping warm, and now I have a terrible headache."

Su Jingyao's voice was soft.

Miao Yun listened to her master's arrangement with a puzzled look at first, but after thinking about it carefully, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Does Master intend to frame Aokiji for putting medicine in your calming soup to cause you headaches, and then go and invite His Highness?"

Miaoyun's voice carried a hint of excitement.

"No, how could I do something like framing someone? I drink calming soup every day, but I didn't drink it today because Your Highness went to Huamei Residence and was in a bad mood. But now, because Your Highness has confined me to my quarters, I'm feeling depressed. I drank the calming soup after you all persuaded me to, and now I have a headache."

As Su Jingyao spoke, she gently shook her head, her face full of innocence.

"This is clearly His Highness's fault."

Shouldn't Jun Zechen give her an explanation?

"Oh, right, bring me my birth control pills. I'll take a few. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cubs."

Su Jingyao lowered her eyelashes, her long lashes obscuring the light in her eyes.

She's been too nice to Jun Zechen lately. Wasn't he going to ground her? Well then...

"Go and invite His Highness here again."

Tonight, I'll give Jun Zechen a good beating and exhaust him.

Miaoyun and her master carefully reviewed the plan, and then Miaoyun ran towards Yude Palace in a panic.

Anshun was sitting on the stool by the door, his head starting to nod off.

Suddenly, I heard a series of hurried footsteps, and my dazed body instantly stood up.

He looked closely and saw Miaoyun rushing over with a look of anxiety on her face.

Oh my god, what's with the concubine?

"Eunuch Anshun, this servant requests to see His Highness."

Miaoyun was extremely anxious, and she was even a little out of breath when she spoke, her eyes filled with urgency.

"What happened?"

Anshun's heart tightened as well.

Today, the concubine was completely unruly and consumed by jealousy. She went to Huamei Residence to ask His Highness to leave, but His Highness did not punish her severely.

Although he was confined to his quarters for three days, he specifically instructed that no one else should know.

Anshun was well aware of His Highness's indulgence and favor towards his concubine, and dared not arbitrarily drive away the people from Shui Ning Palace.

"The concubine is suffering from a terrible headache, but it is the middle of the night and curfew has passed. I cannot go to fetch the imperial physician. I beg you, sir, to allow me to see His Highness so that he may order the imperial physician to treat the concubine."

Miaoyun spoke, her voice trembling with tears.

Upon hearing this, Anshun inwardly groaned.

Why is it a headache again?!

this......

The concubine just tricked His Highness into going to Shui Ning Palace by pretending to have a headache at Hua Mei Residence. Why is she here again now?

Anshun felt a sudden rush of cold sweat break out all over his body.

Jun Zechen, who was inside the palace, had been in a state of turmoil ever since he returned from the Shui Ning Palace, and he couldn't calm down no matter what he did.

Su Jingyao is only fifteen years old, while Jun Zechen is much older than her in terms of mental age. Every time he sees her acting cute and silly, coupled with her pretty and adorable appearance and her interesting and lively way of speaking, he can't help but want to spoil her.

But because they are only teenagers, they are easily spoiled and go astray.

It seems... the authority of those in power cannot be lost; too much leniency will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later.

Jun Zechen thought a lot, and even began to devise a plan in his mind on how to correct Su Jingyao's domineering behavior.

Suddenly, they heard Anshun outside whispering to a palace maid.

Jun Zechen frowned even more, feeling irritated. What could be wrong so late at night?

"Anshun!" he couldn't help but shout angrily.

Upon hearing His Highness's voice, Anshun trembled violently and immediately pushed open the door in a state of trepidation.

"Your Highness."

"What's all the noise about outside?"

Jun Zechen's face was gloomy, his lips were tightly pursed, and he was filled with suppressed anger.

Jun Zechen was already in a bad mood today, and he was worried that he had no outlet for his frustration.

"Your Highness, it is the head maid of Shui Ning Palace who has come to see you. She says... she says that the concubine is suffering from a severe headache and wants Your Highness to summon the imperial physician for her."

An Shun's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, and he kept glancing at Jun Zechen's expression.

Upon hearing this, Jun Zechen pursed his lips even tighter, his eyes revealing his anger.

Another headache?

Does she think he's easy to fool?

He was unwilling to stay in the Water Condensation Palace as she had told him to.

I used the same trick twice. I had told her before that if she couldn't do scheming, she shouldn't try to outmaneuver others.

stupid!

Jun Zechen was secretly annoyed.

Seeing that His Highness remained silent and his expression was unpredictable, Anshun grew increasingly uneasy, completely unable to understand what His Highness was thinking.

At this moment, Miaoyun also hurriedly entered.

"Your Highness, the master has a terrible headache. Please, Your Highness, summon a royal physician for him."

Miaoyun knelt down with a thud and kept kowtowing, her forehead hitting the ground with a "bang" sound, and soon her forehead was red.

Upon seeing this, Jun Zechen's heart sank. Could it be that he really had a headache this time?

Thinking of this, Jun Zechen immediately stood up.

"Anshun, please summon the imperial physician to Shui Ning Palace."

After saying that, he strode off towards the Water Condensation Palace.
