Refusing to let love take a back seat, the scumbag emperor actually seeks favor every day

Zhao Yuxian left the palace. Zhao Cheng has been very good at behaving himself recently, and the other concubines in the palace have been exceptionally quiet.

Su Manman, who was suddenly free, suddenly felt very bored.

She had read enough storybooks and she couldn't go back to this place for a while.

When she had nothing to do, she could only find ways to pass the time.

"What kind of strange disease does Concubine Li have? Why hasn't she recovered in such a long time?"

Qiu Ye, who was breaking walnut kernels for her, paused.

"Isn't it just as well that she doesn't cause you any trouble?"

"That's the way it should be."

Su Manman picked up a walnut kernel and put it in her mouth, then her face became full of doubts again.

"It's just that this person seems to be a bit rude sometimes. I'm not used to her not looking for trouble."

She felt that she was not a combative person, and since no one was causing trouble for her, she should be happy to just lie down.

However...

It must be because Li Yuwan's existence is so deeply rooted in people's hearts that they can't help but treat her specially.

She had asked people to inquire about her situation these days, but they couldn't get any information.

They all said it was a strange disease that was afraid of the wind.

She had lived in this palace for so long and had never seen such a disease as this one.

I'm free anyway, so if it's inconvenient for her to show up, why don't I just go and watch the fun myself?

She was really bored, so she just did it.

"Your Majesty! Let's not go there, let's stay in the palace!"

When Qiu Ye heard that she was going to marry Li Gui, she immediately stepped forward to stop her.

"I want to show my concern for Concubine Li, who is also my sister in the harem. What's wrong with that?"

The more Qiu Ye didn't want her to go, the more she wanted to go.

"But...but what if Concubine Li plots against you?"

Hearing this, Su Manman, who was about to walk out, felt that there was some truth in it.

You can't just let yourself be blackmailed.

"Then bring a few more people with you. More people and more witnesses. I don't believe that I can't punish her."

"..."

Seeing that this man couldn't be stopped at all, Qiu Ye became extremely anxious.

The words were so clear, but seeing that she was still trying to stop her, Su Manman finally realized something.

"Qiu Ye, tell me the truth, are you hiding something from me?"

Qiu Ye, who didn't know what to do, suddenly felt startled when he heard this.

"I... no... no... I am just worried about your safety."

The two grew up together, and Su Manman had never doubted Qiu Ye's loyalty to her.

I also believe that she didn't let me meet Concubine Li today because she was really afraid that something might happen to me.

but……

"If you don't want to talk, forget it. I'm not speechless. You can ask it yourself."

Qiu Ye didn't want to say it, and she didn't want to embarrass her.

Seeing that she really couldn't hold anyone back this time, Qiu Ye fell to her knees.

Su Manman was dissatisfied.

"Qiuye, what are you doing? I just want to go out for a walk. If you don't allow me to, there's no need to kneel."

As he spoke, he reached out to pull the person up.

Qiu Ye, who always listened to her, just knelt there motionless.

"Unless you promise me that I won't go looking for Concubine Li, I will kneel down and stay here forever!"

"..."

Su Manman had never seen anyone who would kneel down for such a long time.

She definitely couldn't let Qiu Ye kneel there for a long time for such a meaningless thing.

She rubbed her head with a headache.

"Alright, alright, I won't go anymore. Hurry up and get up."

"Really?"

"Could it be cooked?"

Seeing that she could make a joke, Qiu Ye finally slowly got up from the ground.

"Next time you use this trick to threaten me, I will... not talk to you anymore!"

Sending someone to send someone away was impossible. This was the only way Su Manman could think of to punish her for the time being.

Seeing that she was willing to stay, Qiu Ye quickly agreed.

"So, why can't I go find Concubine Li?"

Su Manman just didn't believe that Qiu Ye reacted so strongly just because he was afraid that she would be embarrassed by Li Yuwan.

Li Yuwan had troubled her before, and she had looked for her before, but this had never happened before.

When Qiu Ye heard her ask this, he was still hesitant.

"If you don't tell me, I will..."

Knowing that what she wanted to say was that she wanted to go find Li Yuwan again, Qiu Ye couldn't let her go.

She bit her lip.

"Concubine Li...is pregnant..."

"..."

The air, for a moment, became particularly empty.

When Qiu Ye said this, he didn't dare to look at Su Manman's expression.

Afraid of seeing her lost.

"That's how it is."

After a long time, Su Manman suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder such an arrogant person would suddenly become so quiet.

No wonder...

"Did His Majesty ask you to keep it a secret from me?"

Qiu Ye didn't respond.

But she already had the answer in her heart.

There is no such thing as an airtight secret in this palace, but Concubine Li had such a big suspicion about something, and it had been three months, but she hadn't heard any news about it.

No one can do it except Zhao Chengyuan.

He doesn't let me know. Is he afraid of what I might do?

This man really thought too much of her.

Since he doesn't want me to know, just cooperate with him.

"Okay, let's just pretend that I don't know about what happened today."

Qiu Yi was very afraid that Su Manman would think of her unborn child and feel sad.

It turned out that her reaction was unexpectedly calm.

"My lady, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. What could possibly happen to me?"

As Su Manman spoke, she saw Qiu Ye's worried look and realized something.

"You don't think that I will be depressed because of this, do you?"

Su Manman guessed that she was right from Qiu Ye's hesitant expression.

"Don't be like this. Although I am really not generous when I am stingy, I can't have children. I can't stop others from having children, right? There is still the throne to inherit in this family!"

Seeing her say this so casually and easily, Qiu Ye felt upset.

It was to block it for her queen.

How could she really not care? She was still so young and loved children so much, but she had almost no possibility of becoming a mother.

"Besides, even if I didn't give birth to your child, as long as I'm still around, you have to call me mother. It's not bad to be a mother without any pain."

Others didn't have time to say a word to comfort her, as she had already completely straightened out her thoughts.

She had already said so much, and Qiu Ye realized that it would be pointless to say any more.

"That's inevitable. All the children in the world are yours and your majesty's children."

"That's not the case!"

Su Manman sat back at the table with relief.

"Go on, peel some walnuts for me. I feel like my brain isn't working well enough lately."

"Yes, ma'am."

So the two of them continued chatting and eating walnuts as if nothing had happened.

The figure outside the door came in, stood for a while, then turned and left.
