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

When Zhao Chengyuan entered the room, Su Manman was still touching Zhao Yuxian's hand.

She reacted just as she was about to pull her hand back subconsciously.

The two of them were communicating normally and didn't do anything shameful, so there's nothing to be nervous about!

"Just shut up! You scared my brother!"

In the end, not only did she not let go, she also glared at the uninvited guest.

When Zhao Chengyuan heard this, his expression twitched.

For a moment, it was unclear whose brother Zhao Yuxian was.

"You just mentioned that someone pushed you into the lake? Why didn't you mention it before?"

Zhao Yuxian can't hear, so no matter how loud the noise is, it will not have any effect on him.

But after being retorted by Su Manman, he spoke again, his voice much softer.

"Your Majesty, it seems that you are young, but your brain is not very good."

"Don't be so presumptuous!"

Zhao Chengyuan was furious when he saw that the usually gentle queen not only did not welcome him at all but also repeatedly confronted him.

The Su Manman at this moment was no longer the Su Manman who always agreed with him in everything.

Hearing this, she looked indifferent and even wanted to roll her eyes at him.

"Since I climbed out of the coffin, you have only come to me once, and it was to speak up for Concubine Li. Did you give me a chance to speak?"

Su Manman spoke casually as she carefully straightened the blanket covering Zhao Yuxian's legs and stood up.

"If Yu Xian dreamed that I was dead, he would come to confirm it in person as soon as possible. What about you?"

"..."

Zhao Chengyuan was speechless.

If it was Su Manman as before, even if he ignored her, she would definitely find a way to convey what she wanted him to know.

But she was so disdainful to let him know about this matter which concerned her own safety.

Even without much explanation, the disappointment and distrust are self-evident.

He looked at her for a long while with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Um... If Your Majesty and the Queen are busy, I will take the Prince back first?"

Seeing that the emperor and empress were talking in a strange tone, Song Qingwan offered to take his master away.

He didn't want his innocent master to be dragged into the fight between the two.

But just as he was about to push the person away, Su Manman stopped him.

"I have nothing to say to the Emperor, but I just happen to have some free time to accompany your Prince."

"..."

Song Qingwan groaned inwardly when she saw Zhao Chengyuan’s increasingly gloomy face.

My prince is just here to visit, please don't implicate him, Queen!

Since Su Manman refused to let him go, he didn't dare to take the person away by force.

The three parties were in a stalemate when Zhao Yuxian, who was sitting quietly, suddenly turned his head left and right, as if he was looking for something.

Su Manman noticed his abnormality and knew that he had discovered that Zhao Chengyuan was here.

Zhao Yuxian could not see or hear the outside world, but he was very sensitive to the changes around him.

His nose in particular is extremely sensitive, and he can tell who is approaching him just by his sense of smell.

Zhao Chengyuan was close at this time and standing in the wind direction, so he could faintly smell the scent of dragon incense on his body.

Zhao Chengyuan, who had been standing there motionless, also noticed his actions.

As everyone knows, his attitude towards his royal brother is unmatched by ordinary people.

When he took the initiative to walk to Zhao Yuxian to respond, Su Manman, who was originally unhappy with him and wanted to drive him away, decided to keep him for a while.

It’s true that Zhao Chengyuan was a jerk to her, but there’s no doubt about how good he was to Zhao Yuxuan.

She just had a conflict with Zhao Chengyuan, and had no objection to the two brothers' interactions.

So while the two were interacting, she consciously drank tea on the side.

The two brothers could only talk by writing and drawing on their hands, in silence throughout the conversation.

The atmosphere, which had been tense just now, suddenly became quiet and harmonious.

I don’t know what Zhao Chengyuan said to Zhao Yuxian. He seemed to be in a good mood and nodded from time to time.

"My lady, the axe slave you requested is here!"

Su Manman was just wondering what kind of big promise Zhao Chengyuan was making for Zhao Yuxian when Xiao Xiazi, who had been sent out to find an axe, came back.

When she saw the axe in Xiao Xiazi's hand, she immediately stood up from her seat, ignored the two people present, and turned around to chop down the tree.

"That tree is fine, why did you cut it down?"

Zhao Chengyuan, who was called in just to stop her from cutting down trees, saw that she was serious, so after quickly talking to Zhao Yuxian, he immediately stood up to stop her.

“I don’t even have the freedom to cut down a tree?”

Su Manman, who had already taken the axe from Xiao Xiazi and was stopped just as she went out, was very dissatisfied.

"…The one in your palace doesn't work. Change it."

Everyone knows how the paulownia tree in Fengwu Palace came about. What she cut down was not a tree; it was clearly telling the whole world that the relationship between the emperor and the empress had broken down.

"Nothing else bothers me, except this one."

Seeing that Zhao Chengyuan still refused to give way, she stopped talking and walked around him.

Zhao Chengyuan got angry when he saw that she refused to listen and insisted on chopping the tree.

He grabbed her and took the axe from her hand.

"I said you are not allowed to chop!"

"Give it back to me!"

Su Manman was of course unhappy to see the crime weapon in her hand being confiscated, and she reached out to grab it back.

There was a huge difference in size and strength between the two of them. It was easy for Zhao Chengyuan to snatch things from her, but it was not so easy for her to get them back.

She got anxious and subconsciously wanted to kick someone.

Having learned from the last lesson, Zhao Chengyuan was on guard against her this time and was unable to kick her.

Just seeing her like this made him even angrier.

"How long are you going to make trouble?!"

"Who is making trouble? How does it bother you if I cut down the tree in my own palace? If you don't like it, go back to your Guanghua Palace!"

This was the first time she told him to get out. The palace servants around her saw Zhao Chengyuan's face, which was so angry that it made people tremble with anger, and they all broke out in a cold sweat for her.

"If you want to chop down a tree, you must chop me down first!"

"You wish! I won't give you the chance to kill my entire clan!"

Zhao Chengyuan's expression twitched again and again. His queen was still relatively sober, but her attitude towards him was really bad!

Fortunately, the tree was saved.

Just as the matter here was finished, he threw away the axe, but people from Concubine Li's palace came hurriedly.

He said that Concubine Li was not feeling well and asked him to come over.

Zhao Chengyuan was already feeling annoyed, and when he heard this, he felt even more upset.

"If you feel unwell, just ask the imperial physician. I can't treat illnesses, so what's the point of asking me?"

The palace maid who was delivering the message was stunned by his roar and dared not say a word.

Neither leaving nor staying.

Su Manman, who had long wanted to drive him away, now found a suitable reason.

"Your Majesty, please go and accompany the Imperial Concubine. I don't want to be accused of being a jealous woman who wants to monopolize you~"

"..."

Zhao Chengyuan knew that she was angry and said this on purpose to irritate him.

Her indifferent tone really made him angry.

Seeing that the two would only argue if they stayed any longer, he snorted coldly, and finally snorted again, then walked away in a huff.

Looking at the person who left unhappily, Su Manman, who had just looked indifferent, suddenly became gloomy.

Zhao Chengyuan hadn't come to her palace for so many days, which made Concubine Li feel uncomfortable. It was a coincidence that was too deliberate.

The side of her right eye suddenly started twitching, so she reached out and pressed it, sensing that something was about to happen.
