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

"Empress?!"

The people guarding outside the imperial study were surprised to see Su Manman suddenly appear.

Su Manman, who looked anxious, ignored their greetings and said straight to the point, "Scum...Is the Emperor here?"

He was still asking questions, but his actions had already moved forward.

Seeing her trying to break in, everyone hurried to stop her.

"Your Majesty... wait a moment! Your Majesty may not be able to get around right now."

Su Manman stopped when her way was blocked.

Seeing the person who was stopping her looking embarrassed, she guessed that there was someone there.

She stopped and didn't move forward, but she didn't leave either.

"Then I will be waiting at the door."

When they heard that she was going to wait at the door, the people waiting outside looked at each other in confusion.

The Queen seems to be really different now than before.

If she wanted to meet someone in the past, she would have rushed in without thinking twice.

Logically, everyone should be relieved that she suddenly spoke so reasonably.

But judging from their expressions, it seems not.

Seeing that she was really going to stay, several people looked embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, you are newly pregnant and your body is still unstable. How about you go back first and I will come to see you when His Majesty is done with his work?"

It sounds like these words are really considerate of Su Manman.

But she refused decisively.

"I'm not that squeamish."

Feeling unwell was just an excuse she made not wanting to see others. In fact, she had not felt any discomfort so far during this pregnancy.

I can eat and sleep well, and there are no adverse reactions.

She was really anxious at the moment and wanted to see Zhao Chengyuan as soon as possible.

But everyone still wanted to persuade Zhao Chengyuan to leave, thinking that she didn't know what she would be busy with.

At first, Su Manman thought that they were really afraid that something might happen if she stayed here, and they couldn't afford it.

But they kept trying to persuade her to leave after she made it clear that she was fine.

Her intuition told her that something was fishy.

"Who is the person in there with the Emperor?"

When everyone heard her question, the expressions on their faces became even uglier.

Su Manman guessed it immediately.

She doesn't care who he favors now, but since the other concubines are there, there should be no problem for her to go in, right?

Having made up her mind to deal with an unexpected event, she decided not to wait outside the door and walked inside.

When the servants saw this, they realized that this was not acceptable and quickly stopped them.

"Get out of my way!"

Everyone knew that Su Manman was pregnant, so even if they wanted to try to stop her, they didn't dare to.

Seeing that Su Manman was about to get angry, they were also afraid that something unexpected would happen.

When everyone was in a dilemma, their movements were heard by the people in the imperial study.

While they were still standing there frozen in front of the door, the door to the imperial study opened.

"Who is the blind person making so much noise here?"

As the voice fell, Kong Shun, who had always been with Zhao Chengyuan, walked out.

"It's me."

As soon as Kong Shun heard the familiar voice, his originally serious expression immediately changed.

"Oh! So it turns out that the Queen is here!"

After saying this, he glared at the servants around him.

"You blind bastards! Don't you know that the Queen is pregnant now? If she gets so angry that she has a miscarriage and hurts the prince, you will have your heads chopped off!"

Several people were speechless after being scolded by him.

Su Manman had no interest in his flattering words at this moment.

"I have something important to discuss with the Emperor."

Kong Shun also looked embarrassed now.

"Um... Queen...why don't you go back first? His Majesty may not be able to go very conveniently right now..."

"I want to see him now! Otherwise I will roll on the ground and make the kid in my stomach die of anger!"

She said this to the person who blocked the door and also to Zhao Chengyuan.

He may not care about her life or death, but for public and private reasons, no matter whether he loves her or not, he still has to show that he cares about the life or death of this child in front of outsiders.

"Let the queen come in."

Sure enough, after she finished speaking and there was silence for a while, Zhao Chengyuan's voice came from the room.

Kong Shun had no choice but to respond and let the person in.

As soon as she entered, Concubine Li was also there.

"Why are you here?"

Zhao Chengyuan, who had been turned away for many days, was quite surprised to see that she was willing to come to him.

It just happened that Li Yuwan was also here.

He was afraid that Su Manman would see her and make a fuss again, so he wanted her to go back first.

Unexpectedly, she was unwilling to leave and wanted to threaten him.

I'm afraid something unexpected might happen when she comes, so I have to meet her even if I don't want to.

Su Manman did not respond to his words, but just glanced at Concubine Li who was there.

She was not in the mood to argue with her at the moment, she just didn't want her to listen to what she was saying next.

Zhao Chengyuan also noticed her expression and really didn't want to see them quarreling again, so he turned to look at Concubine Li.

"If there is nothing else, please go back first."

When Concubine Li heard this, she was very unhappy.

But seeing that Zhao Chengyuan's words left no room for negotiation, she knew what she should do.

He glared at Su Manman, bit his lip, and responded unwillingly.

"Then I will take my leave first."

After Yingying bowed, she turned around and left with her graceful figure.

Zhao Chengyuan just responded and didn't watch her leave. His eyes were always on Su Manman.

Concubine Li was so angry that she almost died when she walked out of the door.

After everyone left, Su Manman didn't waste any words and said directly, "I want to go back to Jiangzhou!"

Zhao Chengyuan, who had a concerned look on his face, subconsciously frowned when he heard her words.

"I don't agree. You are pregnant now and you can't walk around."

Su Manman had expected his refusal.

"It's just a pregnancy, and I don't feel any discomfort. I can do it!"

Even though Su Manman repeatedly assured her that there was nothing wrong with her health, Zhao Chengyuan rejected her request without hesitation.

The letter said that Princess Tuojiang was very ill and she might not live long.

Su Manman was afraid that if she really died, she would not be able to see her for the last time and would regret it for the rest of her life.

Seeing that Zhao Chengyuan refused to let her go back no matter what, she got angry.

"If you hadn't disagreed with me when I wanted to take her to Yingjing last time, and I ran out in anger and ended up falling into the water and causing her to be frightened, she wouldn't have gotten so sick!"

When she talks about this matter now, she is still filled with anger.

It wasn't like she wanted the stars and the moon in the sky; he wasn't willing to agree to such a small request.

What made her even more angry was that he did not have the same attitude towards the families of other concubines.

Zhao Chengyuan really felt that it was not appropriate for her to leave the palace at this time.

Seeing that he couldn't convince her, he finally got a little angry.

"Queen! You are the mother of a country, how can you be so willful!"

Su Manman almost laughed out of anger at his words.

"I don't have to be the queen, but I must see my mother for the last time!"

After saying that, he turned around angrily without caring how ugly Zhao Chengyuan's face was.

Perhaps she was really angry this time. Just after she took two steps out of the imperial study, she suddenly felt her stomach tighten.

"My queen! What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Chengyuan, who was still angry, suddenly heard a scream from outside the door and rushed out.

He happened to see Su Manman with a pale face and cold sweat on her forehead, holding Qiu Ye, and was shocked.

"Call the doctor quickly!"
