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

Don’t underestimate the secret guards under Su Manman’s command. They are elusive and appear and disappear at random.

But the efficiency in getting things done has never disappointed anyone.

Following the instructions from the night before, Su Manman saw the note in the Zanggeli of her desk early the next morning.

Even Qiu Ye didn't know about this secret compartment. Only the three close secret guards knew about it.

As soon as she saw the extremely neat handwriting, which looked like it was copied from a book, she knew it was Yun Que's handwriting.

After reading the message, she felt a little complicated.

The letter was not given to Li Yunhuang or Zhao Yuxian by someone else and then brought back to her.

Instead, a servant who originally served the two men, in the name of the two men, asked the stewards in the palace to return the gifts to the people who were about to leave the palace.

Seeing that the man was a servant who usually served the two men, the housekeeper did not suspect too much and thought that it was the two men's intention. After taking it, he gave it directly to the people in the palace to take back.

In other words, from the beginning to the end, Li Yunhuang and Zhao Yuxuan had no idea that this incident had happened.

It seems that this person is very good at benefiting people's hearts without realizing it.

It's nothing to just deliver the letter, but I don't know if that person is dangerous to the two of them in the palace, so they have to be careful.

She was just thinking about how to ask someone to tell Zhao Yunhuang about this when Qiu Ye suddenly came in and she hurriedly put her things away.

"Your Highness, why didn't you call me your servant when you got up?"

Qiu Ye came in and saw that she had already stood up and sat at the table. He went forward to serve her with a bit of apology.

After Su Manman closed the small secret compartment naturally, she pretended to look in the mirror and responded casually.

"It's nothing serious. I don't want to bother anyone. I'm too lazy to call."

Su Manman said this, and Qiu Ye also responded.

"It is the duty of servants to serve the Majesty. How can this be considered troublesome?"

While talking, she asked someone to bring water to help her wash.

Su Manman asked casually when she finished washing and putting on makeup.

"Qiuye, have you ever known or heard of a man named Xi Yousan in the palace?"

There are too many people in this palace, and it is already very good that Su Manman can recognize all of Zhao Chengyuan's concubines.

As for the others, she really couldn't remember that much.

Qiu Ye often deals with servants in the palace, so it might be more appropriate to ask her about this.

"Xi Yousan?"

Qiuye repeated the name she asked, went over it in her mind, and finally shook her head apologetically.

"There are very few people with the last name Xi in the palace, and even fewer with such a strange name. I have never heard of it."

Su Manman was not disappointed when she heard Qiu Ye say that he didn't recognize her either.

This was totally expected.

"But, Madam, is there something important you are looking for this person for? Can I ask someone to help you?"

"Need not."

When Su Manman heard Qiu Ye wanted to find someone to help find out, she quickly stopped him.

She also knew that Qiu Ye meant well, and she also wanted to know who this person was and why someone inexplicably asked her to pay attention to this person.

There was no basis for this, but since the other party asked her to pay attention to this person, if she went to look for him now, wouldn't that let people know that she was looking for him?

If the other party really intended to do something, her action would have alarmed him.

I still don’t know what the situation is, so it’s better to take less action.

"Nothing, I just heard someone mention this name occasionally and thought it was a little special, so I just asked casually. If you don't know, forget it. There's no need to go out of your way to look for it."

Qiu Ye didn't understand why she suddenly cared about a name she suddenly heard.

Seeing that she had no intention of explaining in detail, I did not ask any further questions and just helped her clean up.

"Your Highness, are you going to pay your respects to the Queen Mother?"

Empress Dowager Su usually meditates in seclusion, so she is exempt from the requests of people from the palace to pay their respects, so it doesn't matter whether she goes or not.

In order to avoid Zhao Chengyuan, Su Manman has been spending more time at her place recently.

In order not to disturb her rest, we usually don't go too early.

Su Manman asked about the time. It seemed still early and she had nothing to do in the palace.

Finally, I decided to take a walk in the Imperial Garden first, breathe some fresh air, and then pay my respects to Empress Dowager Su later.

"My lady, do you want to bring a storybook?"

Qiu Ye understood her. When he heard that she was going to visit the garden, he immediately reminded her of her favorite notebook.

After getting a positive answer, the group took the storybook and left Fengwu Palace.

It was early in the morning and there was no one else on the road except the busy palace servants.

In the imperial garden, apart from the early morning dew, there was almost no one else to be seen.

This quiet place was just right for her to take a walk and soothe her not-so-good mood.

"I think this is not a good idea. If Concubine Li finds out..."

"You do it quietly, no one will notice."

"But just in case..."

"Do you still want to care about the lives of your family members outside your official position? If they are really discovered, just do as you were taught before and say that it was the Queen who did it. Anyway, the two of them have always been at odds. If you are more certain, everyone will believe it."

"..."

Su Manman really just wanted to go out and relax early in the morning.

As a result, before he could calm down, he walked into a hidden grove of trees and happened to hear people plotting against Li Yuwan.

Although she didn't hear what they said before, she did hear that what they meant was that if the plot against Li Yuwan failed or if something went wrong, she would have to take the blame.

She was speechless so early in the morning.

They are saying bad things about people. Can't they pick a better place?

Are you so sure that no one will come to the Imperial Garden so early in the morning?

"Who's there! Come out!"

Qiu Ye also heard what the two people said.

She couldn't tolerate someone being so bold as to openly plot against her own master.

The two voices, a man and a woman, who were originally talking behind the bushes, did not seem to expect that someone would suddenly appear.

As soon as Qiu Ye's voice came out, the two of them immediately fell silent.

Seeing that people were just quiet and didn't come out immediately, Qiu Ye didn't tolerate it.

"If you don't come out, I will arrest you as the assassin who wanted to murder the queen and beat you to death with sticks."

People are all afraid of death.

As soon as Qiu Ye said this, the two people who had originally planned to pretend to be dead and get away with it immediately took action.

"No, no, no! We are not assassins!"

The two people came out from behind the bushes, and everyone could see clearly that they were a very young palace maid and eunuch.

Qiu Ye looked at the two people who were just plotting something but were now timid and said angrily, "Which palace are you from? You are so bold that you dare to plot against Concubine Li and even want to drag the Queen into the water!"

When the two heard this, they realized that they had overheard their conversation and were so scared that they immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Please spare me, Queen. I don't want to do this. It was... Concubine Wei who told me to do this!"
