Transmigrating into a book, seducing him to rise to power

Jun Zechen carried Su Jingyao into the Xiyan Palace.

Miaoyun and the other three saw their master being carried back from afar, and their faces instantly showed great worry.

"This servant greets Your Highness."

Get up.

Jun Zechen carried Su Jingyao and walked towards the bedroom.

Miaoyue, who is always outspoken, followed closely behind and anxiously asked.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just rubbed my leg raw while riding a horse."

Su Jingyao's voice was very soft, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

His face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and he really didn't look like he was alright.

But she still managed to force a smile, trying to comfort the people in front of her.

Jun Zechen looked at her feigned strength and pursed his lips tightly.

She always seemed to be thinking of others, both towards Yue'er and her maids.

Even though he was injured, he didn't want others to be saddened by it.

Su Jingyao was placed on the bed. She endured the pain, raised her head slightly, and looked at Jun Zechen's cold and handsome face.

"Your Highness, it's all my fault today. I've spoiled your and my sister's enjoyment."

"I will have Lin Mama apply the medicine for me later. I should get better in a few days. You should go and keep my sister company."

Her voice was soft yet firm, as if she were talking about something perfectly normal.

On the contrary, Jun Zechen was puzzled by her understanding words.

As the eldest daughter of the Su family, why is Su Jingyao so uncompetitive and weak, making people feel sorry for her?

"Does Granny Lin also know medicine? I'll send someone to fetch an imperial physician for you."

Jun Zechen's voice carried an undeniable firmness.

"Your Highness, my health has been meticulously cared for by Granny Lin since I was a child."

"Although she was not an expert in medicine, she did know some medical principles."

Then, seemingly a little embarrassed, she continued, "My skin is exceptionally delicate, and I always use a special ointment to apply it."

She might have sounded a bit pretentious saying that, but Su Jingyao was just stating the facts.

Jun Zechen did not refute her, which meant he agreed with her statement.

He had never seen a woman's skin so delicate, but this woman's legs were so chafed from riding a horse that she could barely walk. He felt both curious and suspicious.

Is it really that badly worn out?

If it weren't for the fact that her injury was in a difficult location, he would definitely have seen it with his own eyes.

"Your Highness, Granny Lin is currently selecting medicinal herbs for your bath three days from now. I'll go and call her over right away," Miaoxue said softly.

Su Jingyao nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Her medicinal baths have now been changed to once every five days, and three days later will be the fifth day.

A short while later, Granny Lin rushed over, carrying a bottle of ointment.

This ointment is a formula left behind by the legendary female doctor. At that time, Granny Lin had also learned some basics from the female doctor.

Later, she made some adjustments to the proportions in the prescription based on Su Jingyao's skin type.

This ointment can quickly repair wounds without leaving scars, making it perfect for your pet's skin.

Su Jingyao's injury was in a rather private area, and seeing that Jun Zechen showed no intention of avoiding it, her face flushed slightly.

"Your Highness, I need to prepare the medicine, you..."

A barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across Jun Zechen's cold and stern face.

I was thinking about something and didn't notice for a moment.

He quickly turned around and walked towards the adjacent warm pavilion, his steps slightly hurried.

The reason I went to the warm pavilion next door was just to make sure she was alright, since it was because of Yue'er that she was hurt.

After the Crown Prince left, Granny Lin hurriedly stepped forward, her face full of undisguised heartache.

The person in front of her was the young lady she had watched grow up since she was a child.

"My lady, Miaoxue has already told me everything. Please take off your underpants so I can have a good look at you."

"It was Lin Mama who said softly, her voice tinged with anxiety," Lin Mama said.

Su Jingyao showed no affectation in front of Granny Lin. She moved her body carefully, afraid that any large movements would aggravate her wounds.

Slowly and carefully avoiding the wound, he pulled down his pants, leaving only his white shorts.

Her long, slender, and fair legs were revealed without reservation at this moment, as delicate as mutton fat jade.

Su Jingyao carefully moved to the inside of the bed and then slightly spread her legs apart.

Granny Lin stared intently at her bleeding skin, her brows furrowing tightly.

A mixture of heartache and anger crossed Lin Mama's face.

Lin Mama naturally knew that the Crown Prince had not touched the young lady last night, and she was already dissatisfied with the Crown Prince.

Miss came back injured today, which really made her feel sorry for her and angry.

Her young lady deserves the best man in the world, but the Crown Prince is so ungrateful!

"How did you get injured so badly, Master? Your delicate skin must never ride a horse again."

The Su family cherished their young lady like a precious treasure.

Even without the Crown Prince's favor, their young lady can still live a good life.

Moreover, the young lady is so beautiful and kind-hearted; the Crown Prince truly has no taste.

"Granny, I'm really alright."

Su Jingyao's voice was soft, like a gentle breeze that soothed people's hearts.

Granny Lin took out the ointment and applied it to Su Jingyao's wound with extremely gentle movements.

It's icy cold, like a refreshing spring.

The burning pain on my inner thigh that I had been experiencing before has gradually subsided a lot with the help of the ointment.

A relaxed expression also appeared on Su Jingyao's face.

Lin Mama noticed the bruises on Su Jingyao's inner thighs and tightened her grip slightly.

You need to rub the bruises with some force to break them up.

"ah."

Caught off guard by the sudden increase in force from Granny Lin, Su Jingyao let out a soft gasp.

Tears welled up in her eyes, making her look so pitiful.

Jun Zechen, who had been sitting quietly outside, suddenly moved upon hearing the young woman's cries from inside the house.

He got up and hurried into the house.

"What's wrong? Shall I summon the imperial physician for you?"

Jun Zechen's voice carried a hint of urgency as he spoke and quickly walked to the bedside.

However, when his gaze fell upon the woman, his breath caught in his throat.

Her clothes were disheveled, her fair shoulders were exposed, and her long, loose hair cascaded down her chest like a waterfall.

Her fair and smooth legs were slightly parted at that moment.

Jun Zechen's eyes were instantly drawn to it, and he stood there dumbfounded for a moment, his mind blank.

Su Jingyao was completely taken aback when Jun Zechen suddenly barged in, her face filled with astonishment.

Her small mouth opened slightly, and she exclaimed again, "Ah!"

She then hurriedly and clumsily brought her legs together and pulled the blanket over them tightly.

Jun Zechen suddenly snapped out of his daze, his expression instantly becoming somewhat unnatural.

He coughed lightly, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

"I thought your injuries were serious, so I came in to check on you. If they are too severe, I will summon the imperial physician for you."

His gaze dared not linger any longer, but instead he casually glanced around the room.

A blush spread across Su Jingyao's beautiful face as shyness welled up in her heart.

She lowered her head.

"Your Highness, I'm fine, just a little bruised. Lin Mama used a bit too much force to rub it away, and that's why I couldn't help it..."

Jun Zechen hadn't met many women, and he knew that women in the capital were generally delicate and gentle, and his father had seen many scheming women in the Empress's palace.

They appear pitiful and innocent on the surface, but behind the scenes they are ruthless and vicious, killing without blinking an eye.

He had initially thought the woman in front of him was nothing special.

But at this moment, a pang of heartache arose in his heart that he himself had not even noticed.

Su Jingyao's eyes were bright and innocent, like a clear spring, without any impurities.

When you stare straight at him, it's so pure that it's as if you can see through his eyes and into the deepest thoughts in his heart.

Jun Zechen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away.

This woman seemed to have hit the spot he disliked perfectly in every way.

But he couldn't feel any disgust; instead, a strange feeling spread through his heart.

After two days of getting to know each other, Jun Zechen also learned that Su Jingyao was the type to only report good news and not bad news, and to keep everything to herself.

I'm afraid she might be seriously injured but deliberately hiding it.

and.....

He also wanted to see if she was pretending to be weak or if she was really seriously injured.

A hint of gloom flashed in the depths of Jun Zechen's eyes.

He took a long stride and walked straight to the bedside.

Granny Lin quickly stepped aside.

Su Jingyao's eyes were slightly moist from the pain as she looked at him, puzzled, wondering what he was going to do.

"Your...Your Highness?" Her voice was soft, sweet, and captivating.

Jun Zechen sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out and gently lifted the blanket, then placed her legs on his lap.

Su Jingyao was surprised and resistant to this situation.

When Jun Zechen tried to separate her legs, Su Jingyao's body involuntarily stiffened, and her legs pressed tightly together.

"I just wanted to check on your injuries."

Jun Zechen looked at her with unwavering eyes.

Su Jingyao bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly parted her legs.

A hint of shyness flickered in her eyes, and her gaze involuntarily shifted elsewhere, no longer daring to meet his eyes.

Jun Zechen's gaze was focused intently on the wound on the inside of the young woman's body.

Just as she said, it had indeed caused traces of blood and patches of bruising.

Are all these young ladies from noble families as delicate and fragile as she is?

How could it get this badly injured after just a few rubs?

Jun Zechen's large hand grasped Su Jingyao's calf, the touch as smooth as silk, so captivating that he was reluctant to let go.

His expression was slightly dazed for a moment.

Su Jingyao blinked her clear, autumn-water-like eyes, and began to struggle gently with her legs, trying to break free from his grasp.

But Jun Zechen's grip gradually tightened without him realizing it.

"pain……"

Su Jingyao's tone was full of grievance, her small lips were pursed, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was trying her best to endure it.

Hearing her cry of pain, Jun Zechen snapped back to his senses and quickly released her legs.

"Have the nanny continue applying the medicine for you. I still have official business to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"Yes, Your Highness, please take care."

After Jun Zechen turned and left, Granny Lin continued to gently apply the medicine to her.

After finishing, Su Jingyao lay leisurely on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

Today's events have far exceeded her expectations.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly, a half-smile on his lips, as he savored the wonderful performance of the day.

She thoroughly enjoyed her performance in today's play.

Since Jun Zechen likes simple and kind women, she will naturally create an image of being innocent, gentle, guileless, and childlike in front of him.

Su Jingyao stroked her hair, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

She wanted to make Jun Zechen fall in love with her, to make him fall in love with her pure and kind nature, and then unexpectedly make him discover her vicious nature.

How interesting.

She couldn't wait to see Jun Zechen's expression at that moment.

Human nature is inherently evil; she was merely unleashing it.

Is she bad?

It's okay, as long as she's happy.

Ling Yue and Jun Zechen met in the most beautiful years of their lives, far from the hustle and bustle of the borderlands.

Does Jun Zechen truly love Ling Yue?

Su Jingyao doesn't think so.

Jun Zechen grew up amidst the intrigue and scheming of the imperial harem, yet he possesses extraordinary intelligence.

Despite the Empress's protection, he still suffered from open and covert attacks from many concubines.

Therefore, Jun Zechen deeply despises women who appear gentle but are actually vicious.

Having spent so much time by the Empress's side, he also grew to loathe the Emperor's many concubines.

During his spirited youth, he was fortunate enough to meet Ling Yue, a free-spirited, cheerful, and unrestrained woman from the borderlands.

His time with Ling Yue brought him immense joy and an unprecedented sense of relaxation, making his affection for her seem like a natural progression.

Upon returning to the capital, Jun Zechen's youthful sincerity and enthusiasm led him to make a promise to "one person" for the future.

However, what kind of place is the capital? The Crown Princess has not conceived for two years. Neither the Emperor, the ministers, nor the people will allow their heir to be without a successor.

The promises made back then are like fleeting bubbles, vanishing with the wind.

Because of his stereotypes about women in the capital, Jun Zechen always harbored suspicion towards many young ladies from prominent families.

He is unwilling to put in the effort to understand them, so naturally no one can enter his heart.

After becoming emperor, he had to hold a selection of concubines and become close to the young ladies from noble families whom he had once disliked.

When a woman tries to win a man's heart, Jun Zechen, as someone involved, truly understands the situation his father, the emperor, was in back then.

He will find that he has difficulty understanding these women.

But... there's no need to understand it.

As time went by, he gradually hardened his heart and grew into a cold, ruthless, and aloof emperor, standing at the pinnacle of power.

Love in youth is like a fleeting moment, gone in an instant.

In the decades that followed, Ling Yue’s unruly behavior, unreasonable demands, and desperate outbursts all became absurd and laughable.

What he needed was an empress who could help him manage his harem, not just Ling Yue as a wife.

Su Jingyao pondered the ending of the male and female protagonists in the book, and at this moment she felt that Jun Zechen was more likable.

Although the promise of one love for life was not fulfilled, the sincerity and longing at the time of making the promise are invaluable.

People are constantly changing; time can reshape a person's appearance and make them unrecognizable.

Su Jingyao didn't know what she would become, so she set herself a small goal.

She ascended to the throne of Empress.

She wanted to stand at the highest point and appreciate the unique scenery.

Love is nothing but a mirage, and justice is nothing but a fantasy woven by the weak.

Therefore, she doesn't want love, nor does she need justice.

The victors don't care about the means, they only care about the results.
