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

"Queen, are you feeling well?"

Li Yunhuang, the girl who sent Su Manman back last time, was discovered and walked in while asking questions with concern.

"It feels okay. A few more fights shouldn't be a problem."

Su Manman looked at the person who came in and her tone became much lighter.

Li Yunhuang is General Li, the fourth daughter of Li Yong. She has followed her father to fight in battles since she was young. She is a girl who prefers military uniforms to makeup.

Li Yunhuang was about the same age as her. She had heard of General Li’s daughter before, but she grew up at the border and the two of them had never had the chance to meet.

She didn't expect that when she returned to the city this time and accompanied the general's wife to the palace to present herself to Empress Dowager Su, they would meet in this way.

Li Yunhuang is not like the ladies in the city who stay at home all day to keep their skin fair. Instead, because she has lived in the border for many years, her skin is exposed to wind and rain, and has a healthy bronze color.

She had extended a helping hand in time and helped her a lot. Su Manman didn't even have time to thank her, and she was even more worried about her eavesdropping.

"Don't be angry, Queen. It's not good for your health. If you really want to curse, I'll bring my brother to you to play with some other day~"

"You think you're so generous, but your brother's personality is such that if he comes, I'm afraid I'll be the one getting scolded."

The brother that Li Yunhuang was referring to was Li Yanqi, who beat up a thief on the street last time.

The two are twins, a boy and a girl, but Li Yanqi was born half a quarter of an hour earlier and became the older brother.

The two are twins, but they look completely different. If Li Yunhuang hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have noticed at all.

But to be honest, their personalities are exactly the same, warm-hearted yet hot-tempered.

"Hey, that's not possible. My brother is a coward."

Li Yunhuang didn't know that she had already met Li Yanqi, and was very much helping him to weaken his character outside.

Su Manman did not mention this matter too much. The three of them went into the house and asked someone to bring out all the delicious food and drinks in the palace for her.

Li Yunhuang didn't know Su Manman before. Before entering the palace, she only heard from others that she was madly in love with the emperor.

But she recently had the opportunity to enter the palace and spend some time with her, and she found that this Queen was completely different from the love-loving Queen in the rumors.

Everyone sat down to chat and eat melons. Li Yunhuang couldn't help but ask, "Queen, you said you wanted a divorce. Are you trying to scare His Majesty?"

Su Manman felt that she had slept too much recently and her brain was not working well and needed some replenishment. She ate the walnut kernels peeled by the palace maid and shook her head firmly.

"I am very serious!"

"I think His Majesty is very kind to you. He came as soon as he knew you were in trouble. Recently, he has been visiting you every day after court. And I heard that you were frightened by a snake. He has ordered people to search every corner of the palace and try to catch and kill all the snakes they can see."

Su Manman knew everything Li Yunhuang said.

But the discord between her and Zhao Chengyuan was a long-standing problem that could not be offset by this one incident.

Li Yunhuang didn’t know this, and she wasn’t going to tell anyone.

After chewing two walnut kernels, she stopped her gaze on Song Qingyan.

"How's the matter you asked me to help investigate going?"

Su Manman was still very concerned about the figure in the dark that day.

And they had a premonition that the snake's appearance on their path was not an accident, but someone had done it on purpose.

She didn't see the appearance of the man in the distance, but from the corner of his clothes that was revealed when he turned around and left, she knew he was a eunuch.

Only those who were familiar with everything in the palace and had some understanding of her habits would know that she was leaving Empress Dowager Su to find Zhao Yuxian and was very likely to take this road.

After all, apart from this road, there is another closer way to Chengyang Palace.

But when she was about to go that way, she was reminded by a passing palace maid that there was a century-old tree that had fallen across the road, making the road difficult to travel on, so she changed her route.

By changing his route, he fell into the other party's trap.

Although it is possible that some eunuchs in the palace were involved in this matter, there are too many eunuchs here.

It is difficult to confirm the other person's identity based on just a piece of clothing.

However, she thought of a breakthrough.

She was the palace maid who took the initiative to tell her that there was danger ahead and asked them to change the route.

Su Manman still remembered this palace maid, but unfortunately she couldn't go out now.

For this obvious matter, it would be more appropriate to ask Song Qingyan, who is relatively reliable, for help.

"The little palace maid you mentioned has been found, but..."

"Just what?"

Su Manman really disliked Song Qingwan's hesitant way of speaking.

"It's just that His Majesty found the person faster than we did. By the time we confirmed her identity, she had already been dragged out and thrown into a mass grave."

When Su Manman heard this, she paused holding the walnut kernel.

Why doesn't this person leave any survivors for himself? He kills people at every turn. Does he want to be a tyrant?

It was expected that Zhao Chengyuan would intervene, but it was unexpected but reasonable that he dealt with the person directly like last time.

"So nothing was found?"

"Not entirely."

Rong Qingwan handed her a very delicate grass green purse.

"This was found on the maid. Your Majesty, do you think it looks familiar?"

Su Manman took it and took a look. It was exquisite, but it didn't look like a rare item.

"Don't you think this thing looks familiar, madam?"

When Su Manman was asked this question, she looked at it carefully for a moment and shook her head.

"Not impressed."

"When His Majesty sent you to the cold palace to reflect on your mistakes, a eunuch pretended to be my prince and sent you something, and he almost stabbed you."

When Song Qingyan mentioned this, she vaguely remembered that this was the case.

When the man was caught, he committed suicide when no one was paying attention and no one was asked any questions.

After his death, some things were found on him.

The things that were searched from that person at that time were all ordinary items, and she didn't remember them.

"That person had a purse similar to this one on him at the time."

Su Manman had no memory of this incident, and Song Qingyan didn't find it strange, after all, so much time had passed.

He still remembered that it was because the other party had used Zhao Yuxian's name and almost succeeded in framing him that he still remembered this thing after two years.

"So, this time, you are in the same group as the person who came up and wanted to frame Yu Xian?"

"I can't be sure about this, but my intuition is that there should be some kind of relationship."

Song Qingyan said this and paused.

"You were on your way to find our prince when you got into trouble this time. If I hadn't taken the wrong direction and led the prince back, wasting some time, you might have just run into the prince when you got into trouble, and you wouldn't have had the opportunity to bring in so many witnesses to prove that this incident had nothing to do with the prince..."

After hearing Song Qingwan's analysis, Su Manman also thought of something.

Damn it! Zhao Yuxian was in such a miserable state, yet there were still people who wanted to plot against him!

She suddenly felt that it was very unsafe for him to continue staying in the palace.

I'm already thinking that if the divorce is successful, I'll take him away with me!
