Su Manman also knew that she couldn't push him too hard. Regarding Zhao Yuxian's affairs, she still had to rely on her brother, the emperor, to make the decision.

In order to ensure that this matter could be accomplished, Su Manman, who had always been unkind to him, decided to give him a little sweetness.

She deliberately asked him if he was free to have dinner with her, and added, "If you're busy accompanying your concubine, forget it."

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to show goodwill since the last accident.

Although he knew it was because of Zhao Yuxian, Zhao Chengyuan was still in a good mood.

This was a good opportunity to ease the relationship between the two, so Zhao Chengyuan agreed.

After having dinner at Fengwu Palace, he also stayed overnight.

Su Manman had just had a miscarriage and her body had not yet fully recovered, so the two of them didn't do anything but just lay on the same bed.

Even though they were just lying together, the two of them, who hadn't been close to each other for a long time, felt uncomfortable.

Su Manman, who always ate well and slept well, felt that there was someone around her. She was not used to it and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Turning around, I saw Zhao Chengyuan, whose eyes were also wide open like bells, and I don't know what national affairs he was thinking about.

Since he couldn't sleep anyway and he didn't want to send the man back so late at night, he nudged him with his elbow.

When Zhao Chengyuan turned his head, the two looked at each other.

He didn't say anything, just looked at her.

The atmosphere was inexplicably ambiguous and made Su Manman feel uncomfortable.

In the end, she was the one who took the initiative to speak.

"When will you return Qiu Ye to me?"

When he saw that the two of them were lying together, but her mind was still full of other people, Zhao Chengyuan felt unhappy.

But he couldn't appear to be too stingy.

"Although it can be proven that she did not intentionally harm the heir, she did fail to take good care of him, so she should still be punished."

Su Manman was unhappy when she heard this.

"Didn't you promise me that you would let her go?"

"I only said I would not kill her, but I did not say I would not punish her."

Su Manman: "..."

Is this scumbag playing word games with her?

She turned away angrily and ignored him.

Suddenly, a hand was placed on her waist.

Just as she was about to push him away, she heard Zhao Chengyuan whisper in his ear, "Of course, if the queen behaves well, I can let her go."

Su Manman really wanted to kick him off the bed, but after thinking about it, she felt that impatience could ruin big plans, so she held back.

Zhao Chengyuan refused to let go, and Su Manman tried to calm herself down, saying that they were an old couple and had slept together before.

She couldn't help but think in her mind that if he dared to do anything wrong, she would at least kill him twice.

Zhao Chengyuan had no idea what dangerous things she was thinking about, so he just said, "Go to sleep," and said nothing more.

After a long time, Su Manman saw that he did not take the next step and did not speak. She only heard the sound of steady breathing.

I couldn't help but turn my head to look over. Oh my god, she was the only one sulking. Everyone else had fallen asleep a long time ago.

Su Manman was unhappy and took the opportunity to take his hand away from her waist.

As a result, the person fell asleep, but the hand seemed to have its own thoughts and could not be moved away at all.

If she gets anxious, she will hug him even tighter.

After trying several times without success, she resigned herself to her fate and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Scumbag Emperor! You're still mad at me even when you're asleep!"

Su Manman muttered to herself, staring at the ceiling of the bed in sulk.

She didn't notice at all that the man next to her curled his lips slightly when she was cursing.

She was so busy being angry that she forgot that Zhao Chengyuan was a light sleeper. The force she had just used was enough to almost pinch him until he turned purple. Even if he was really asleep, she would have woken him up.

As she was getting angry, she became sleepy and fell asleep without realizing it.

Zhao Chengyuan opened his eyes after she fell asleep.

This person is really completely different from before.

If this had happened before, she would have hugged him back, but just now, not only did she want to push him away, but when she couldn't push him away, she even raised her foot, clearly wanting to kick him, but she held back in the end.

If I had known it was so hard to appease her when she was angry, I wouldn’t have annoyed her.

In the past, when two people had unpleasantness, they would never leave it the next day.

He hugged him and closed his eyes again.

Su Manman slept until dawn, and when she woke up she felt like she was lying on something.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself pressing on Zhao Chengyuan like an octopus without her knowing when.

I was startled and quickly let go.

She didn't mean to get close to him, it was just a habitual action. It was always like this before, and her body rebelled when she fell asleep.

When I let go, I took a special look at him. Fortunately, he was still asleep and should not be able to notice anything.

After lying there for a while, Zhao Chengyuan woke up. Without saying anything, he packed up and prepared to attend the morning court as usual.

As for Su Manman, when he was cleaning up, she had no intention of getting up to help, she just lay on the bed.

After she packed up and was about to leave, she spoke, "Remember to return Qiu Ye to me as soon as possible. Without her by my side, I can't eat or sleep well, and my mental state is not good. It's inevitable that I will talk nonsense, such as talking about divorce from time to time."

Zhao Chengyuan looked at her face which was obviously rounder than before, and her waist which was more voluptuous and easier to hug than before. She didn't look like someone who had trouble eating or sleeping.

He didn't expose her, nor did he respond to her words.

"I'm leaving first. I'll come back in the evening."

After that, he turned around and left.

Looking at the person who answered the question irrelevantly and walked away from her, Su Manman was so angry that her teeth were itching.

"Who asked a scumbag like you to come here! I want my Qiu Ye!!"

She spoke so loudly that Zhao Chengyuan could still hear the echo even after he had walked a long way away.

Kong Shun on the side secretly observed Zhao Chengyuan's reaction.

Although he was scolded, he seemed to be in a good mood.

He spoke as he continued to leave.

"Make arrangements and send the person back to her."

He knew how important Qiu Ye was to Su Manman. Although if he continued to hold the man in his hands, she would be more obedient for Qiu Ye's safety, this was not the result he wanted.

"We'll make arrangements later."

Kong Shun thought that the queen's emotions must have been reconciled a lot, since she was willing to let the tool man go.

After Zhao Chengyuan left, Su Manman was still under house arrest.

However, she was the only one who was not allowed to go out of the palace, and there was no prohibition on other people from visiting her.

However, she was not very happy to see other concubines in the palace, and generally refused to see them unless she had to.

Only Zhao Yuxian and Li Yunhuang were able to come in without hindrance.

But these two people did not come every day. Most of the time she stayed with the palace maids and eunuchs who served her.

Even if she didn't go out, Xiao Xia Zi would tell her everything that was happening in the palace.

"My queen! My queen! Good news!"

At noon, she was munching on a pear out of boredom when Xiao Xiazi suddenly ran in with a happy look on her face and startled her.

She glanced at Xiao Xiazi, bit a piece of pear disapprovingly, and said in a calm tone, "Stop yelling. How could there be any good news for me in the palace?"

"No! It's good news! Qiuye is back!"

"real?!"

When he heard that Qiu Ye had returned, he excitedly stood up from the table, stopped eating the pear, and looked out the door.

But she didn't see Qiu Ye.
