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

I’ve finished touching and I’ve finished sleeping.

Su Manman was about to leave after packing up when Zhao Chengyuan suddenly handed her a red pill.

"Eat this before you go."

Su Manman looked at it with disdain, but still took it, muttered "It's completely useless", and threw it into her mouth and swallowed it.

Ever since she lost her second child and couldn't get pregnant, Zhao Chengyuan got this medicine.

I always let her eat it after sex, saying it can help her get pregnant.

But it has been two or three years and there is still no movement.

She often wondered if he was giving her poison, and secretly asked the imperial physician to examine her body.

Fortunately, it was concluded that she was healthy.

It was confirmed that there was no poison, but there was one thing she found strange.

He was the only one who had the medicine, so every time he asked me to take it in front of him and stay under his nose for a while before I could leave.

It didn’t take long, just the right amount of time for the medicine to dissolve in her body.

She wanted to vomit afterwards, but she couldn't—she tried.

I wanted to touch one to let people see what it was, but I couldn't get a sample at all.

After taking the medicine and waiting for a while, the tightly closed door was finally opened for her.

It was already dark at this time, and someone from the Imperial Kitchen happened to come to ask about the meal.

"How about we eat first and then leave?"

"No, I'm full."

Faced with Zhao Chengyuan's initiative to keep him for dinner, Su Manman, who was unwilling to serve him even a moment longer, turned around and left without hesitation, not wanting to even glance at him.

Zhao Chengyuan did not force him to stay, but after he left, he saw the dishes coming from the imperial kitchen, all of which were all nutritious, and his temples began to throb.

It was obvious that this was arranged by Empress Dowager Su.

Moreover, they were worried that he was hiding his illness and was afraid of seeing a doctor, so they took his self-esteem into consideration and did things behind his back.

Every time he had to pretend that he didn't know and eat as usual to avoid being discovered that he knew.

It's okay if you do it occasionally, but if you do it every day, your body, which is already full of energy, can't stand it.

He could only do some more exercise after meals to maintain his figure. After all, his queen grew up imitating Prince Tuojiang's abdomen and had a special liking for abdominal muscles since she was young.

Remembering this, he remembered something very important.

During the meal, he gave instructions to Pang Defu who was serving on the side.

"In the future, don't let those strong and pretty guards appear in front of the queen."

As soon as he said this, he immediately understood Su Manman's behavior outside the Cining Palace today.

"I will give the order right away!"

For the sake of maintaining the relationship between the Emperor and Empress, this matter cannot be delayed even for a moment.

Su Manman, who knew nothing about this, returned to Fengwu Palace, took a bath and changed her clothes. Before going to bed, she was about to lie down comfortably and read a few chapters of a storybook, but she found that the storybook she had placed on the bedside was missing.

Only then did she find out that before she came back, people arranged by Zhao Chengyuan had come and taken them all away.

"I have collected all these years, but I didn't keep any of them?"

Qiu Ye nodded.

For Su Manman, this news was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, and she almost fainted from anger.

She wondered why this guy suddenly became so kind, and he took the initiative to let her touch his abdominal muscles and even slept with her in person.

I thought he really wanted to reconcile with me, but it turned out that he was deliberately delaying her so that someone could come and move the things!

Lust really makes one lose one's mind. If you take this chance, you will suffer a huge loss.

Qiu Ye saw that she was so angry that she was beating her feet and stamping her chest. He was afraid that she might faint, so he hurried to comfort her.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be so sad. You can ask someone to find a new one later."

"You don't understand! Many of them are unique! You can't buy them even if you have money!"

The more Su Manman spoke, the more distressed she felt. She had to get it back no matter what.

But when she heard that everyone had been moved to the imperial study, the only words left in her mind were "life is hopeless".

In a place like this, one couldn't even get in without Zhao Chengyuan's permission, let alone steal the book out.

There are so many places in the palace where it can be placed, and he put it in the imperial study to take up space. You can tell who he is guarding against with your toes.

What a scheming scumbag!

In addition to the book, she also discovered the next day that Feng Wu's usual pleasing young guards were replaced by a few middle-aged men with ordinary looks.

Even the two taller and more handsome eunuchs were nowhere to be found.

Except Zhao Chengyuan, no one can replace the people in her palace at will.

She was filled with rage and went to settle the score with him.

"oops!"

"Ouch!"

As the saying goes, when people are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in their teeth.

Not long after she went out, she bumped into someone at a corner.

She was already walking in a hurry, and the momentum of the collision was quite strong. She lost her balance and took several steps back.

Fortunately, the attendant following behind her reached out and supported her in time, so she did not fall.

But the man she hit was not so lucky.

I saw a round-faced girl about ten years old in a pink and purple dress, who cried out "Ouch" and sat down on the ground.

"Who is so blind as to dare to bump into this princess... my sister-in-law?"

The girl who was helped up started to curse angrily, but halfway through, she saw who was in front of her, and her tone instantly changed from anger to joy.

"Huh? Xuanping? Why are you here?"

When Su Manman recognized that the person who was hit was Princess Xuanping Zhao Yushu, the fourth daughter of Empress Dowager Su, the curse that was about to come out of her mouth stopped.

When Princess Xuanping heard her question, she smiled awkwardly.

"Hey, I was just about to go look for you."

Having said this, he paused.

"But you seem to be in a hurry?"

Although there are many people in this palace, there are only a handful of them who have a good relationship with Su Manman, and Princess Xuanping is one of them.

She loved to go to her palace to play whenever she had time and read storybooks with her, so the two of them had a lot to talk about.

"Of course! Your brother has confiscated all my notebooks. I'm going to go and settle the score with him!"

"What? That's too much!?"

When Princess Xuanping heard that all her notebooks were gone, she was even more excited than she was.

"I'll go with you to get it back!"

After saying that, she walked up to Su Manman and took her arm naturally and affectionately, and was about to go to Zhao Chengyuan.

Su Manman was very happy to suddenly have a teammate to help.

"Oops! I almost forgot something more important!"

After just taking a few steps, her teammate suddenly stopped, slapped his forehead, and looked at her with a pair of big round eyes.

"Sister-in-law, before you go grab the book, can you please go to Chengyang Palace to rescue my weak and unable to take care of himself brother?

Su Manman, who was walking, stopped suddenly when she heard the words, staggered, and almost fell because she stepped on the hem of her skirt.

She turned her head quickly and asked in a sharp tone, "What happened to Yuxian?!"

Princess Xuanping sighed and replied to her helplessly.

"It's not a big deal. He just went on a hunger strike and smashed things in the morning. He even scratched the guards who were taking care of him. He was just about to crawl and roll on the ground in the dark..."

"... Let's go! Let's go see what's going on first!"

Su Manman, who originally wanted to go find Zhao Chengyuan, changed her mind and changed direction.

Because she was in a hurry to get to the crime scene, her feet were so fast that Princess Xuanping had to jog to keep up with her.
