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

Li Yuwan was naturally unhappy in her heart, but since Zhao Chengyuan had asked her to assist, she could not refuse openly.

"You are overthinking, Queen. I am willing to learn, but I don't know what you want to learn."

At this time, Su Manman was no longer in a hurry. She let her sit down and served her tea before she spoke.

"I don't have any big ambitions, so I'll just learn how to exorcise ghosts first!"

"Puff - exorcise... exorcise ghosts?"

Li Yuwan, who had just put the tea in her mouth, was so shocked that she sprayed out the tea when she heard her inexplicable request.

Whose harem management learns this?

Su Manman nodded very affirmatively.

"Hasn't there been ghosts everywhere in the harem recently? I heard that some concubines are almost scared to death. Since I have to manage the harem, I have to take care of this matter for the safety of the concubines."

Li Yuwan was stunned for a moment after hearing her words, then came to her senses and a gleam of light suddenly flashed in her heart.

She felt that this was a good opportunity to embarrass Su Manman, and immediately agreed to help deal with the matter.

When Su Manman saw her sudden positive attitude, she seemed to have some feelings.

This woman really can't be a good person.

The news that Su Manman was going to exorcise ghosts in the harem spread like wildfire.

But obviously, no one believed her.

Even Zhao Chengyuan, although he let her take care of the affairs of the harem, thought she would just do it quietly, but he didn't expect that she would make it so well-known.

"If you let this news out and you can't find anything later, it will be difficult to end it."

Although her movements were not smooth, Su Manman was able to get up from the bed. She had just changed her clothes and sat down. She looked at Zhao Chengyuan who came to make her angry, with a calm face.

"What does it matter? Even if it doesn't work out, I'll be the one who's embarrassed. You can use dereliction of duty as an excuse to return the management of the harem to your Wan'er~"

She deliberately prolonged the pronunciation of the two words "Wan'er".

Zhao Chengyuan heard the sarcasm in her words and frowned immediately.

"That's not what I meant..."

"You said it yourself that I am in charge of the affairs of the harem. Now you come to doubt me again. What do you mean?"

Zhao Chengyuan: “…”

He just wanted to show his concern, but seeing that she didn't accept his kindness at all, he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be in vain.

Feeling that he had shot himself in the foot, he did not continue talking about the topic, but just sighed deeply.

Then he looked at Su Manman and said in a negotiating tone, "Queen, I have been following your lead in everything now. Can't you be a little nicer to me?"

Su Manman looked at him very politely, "Okay, then take care of yourself?"

"..."

The tone is quite polite.

But it was obvious that Zhao Chengyuan, who was driven away as soon as he arrived, didn't like this very much.

Seeing that he didn't leave, didn't say anything, but just stared at her in confusion, Su Manman felt unhappy.

"You came here at noon, weren't you just here to tell me this?"

Zhao Chengyuan has been visiting her quite often recently, but usually there is nothing to do, and he only comes after the afternoon.

His sudden appearance in the middle of the day disrupted her plans a little.

"Do I have to make an appointment in advance to visit my own queen's residence?"

Su Manman once again reasonably suspected that he was just trying to make her angry.

Even if she said yes, he wouldn't listen.

This man's recent rogue behavior has reached a point that makes her angry.

"You can come if you want, but I'm going out now."

When Zhao Chengyuan heard that she was going out, he roughly guessed what she was going to do.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet, don't run around, there are people watching over Song Qingyan."

Su Manman was unhappy.

"Who said I was going to see him?"

"So what are you going to do?"

"I...why should I tell you? I don't even have the freedom to go out?"

Zhao Chengyuan looked at her, angry and about to quarrel again, and stopped talking.

Since he didn't say anything, Su Manman assumed that he agreed.

Just as he was about to ask Qiu Ye to go out, he spoke.

"Since the Queen wants to go out so much, why don't you accompany me to the Imperial Study to review the memorials?"

"Don't go."

There was no hesitation in refusing.

"Oh? Those notebooks are all covered in dust. It seems the Queen doesn't need them anymore. I'll have them burned right away."

Su Manman: “…”

This person is really too much! It's really too much!

She had no interest in accompanying him, but in order to keep the script, she had to put up with it.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, Zhao Chengyuan dismissed his attendants.

Su Manman sat down on the chair next to her with familiarity and looked around the study room casually.

She was just about to ask Zhao Chengyuan what he wanted her to see when she heard a "pop" and her wide sleeve accidentally knocked a memorial off the table.

She subconsciously bent down to pick it up, and when she accidentally saw the contents on the scattered letter, the blood in her body froze, and her hand, which was about to fall, froze in mid-air.

It was a memorial impeaching her father, King Tuojiang, for treason!

The word "read" written in vermilion on it indicates that Zhao Chengyuan has read it.

The moment before she blurted out that her father was definitely not that kind of person, the words "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics" flashed through her mind.

She suppressed her inner uneasiness, calmed herself, picked up the letter and put it away.

Turning around, he found Zhao Chengyuan looking at him.

He had noticed that she had seen what was on it.

Seeing his thoughtful expression, Su Manman's heart sank.

There are so many folding books, but this one is the one on top.

It was hard for her not to suspect that he did it on purpose.

Su Manman stared at him, trying to find the answer from his expressionless face.

She quickly lowered her eyes in disappointment.

When making decisions on such important matters, he never showed his emotions on his face.

He just sat in his seat and picked up the letter that had just fallen to the ground.

"Don't you want to read the storybook?"

His words brought Su Manman's wandering thoughts back to normal.

"Look."

She lived deep in the harem and knew little about court affairs.

Zhao Chengyuan had always used the phrase "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs" to pressure her and not allow her to ask.

Even though he seemed to be nicer to her now, he never talked to her about court affairs.

She had long developed the habit of not asking questions, so she never imagined that something she accidentally saw about the court would be related to her family.

She didn't know how Zhao Chengyuan would decide, and there was nothing she could do given her current situation.

She was unsure and afraid that saying too much would backfire, so she decided not to say anything for now.

He responded, took the notebook, and then remained silent.

It’s just that the storybook that I used to like very much, now I can’t really get into it.

She knew that it wasn't because the storybook was not good, but because of her own problem.

Her sudden deflation and silence made Zhao Chengyuan feel a little uncomfortable.

"I praised you for being smart before, but it seems like it was too early."

If Su Manman had heard this before entering the study, she would have definitely refuted it.

Now, she listened, quiet as a chicken.

What if I talk back and make the scum emperor angry, and he really attacks my family?

After all, he really has the power and can do this...
