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

Between overturning the table in anger and continuing to eat and drink, Su Manman chose the latter.

Halfway through the meal, she glanced at the crowd and noticed that one person was missing.

She quietly asked Qiu Ye beside her, "Where is Yuxian? When did she leave?"

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhao Yuxian generally will not attend.

He was present today because it was Empress Dowager Su's birthday banquet.

But now I see that his position is empty.

Qiu Ye was busy watching Su Manman and telling her not to eat anything carelessly, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

The time of Zhao Yuxian's departure is also unclear.

"Don't worry, your majesty. With Guard Song here, Prince Su is safe."

There is a reason why Qiu Ye is so confident that Song Qingwan will be by Zhao Yuxian's side.

He was originally the most skilled guard in martial arts among the Jinyiwei. Zhao Chengyuan took a fancy to this point and arranged him to be beside Zhao Yuxian.

With him around, Su Manman was not worried about Zhao Yuxian's safety, but she would usually go up and say something whenever Zhao Yuxian left.

This time he left suddenly, and Su Manman was afraid that he was not feeling well.

Recently she was busy arguing with Zhao Chengyuan and had no time to visit him, so he also came to Fengwu Palace.

Su Manman usually likes this kind of occasions, where she can eat and drink and watch the fun.

But at this time, she was pregnant, so she couldn't eat many things at the banquet, let alone drink alcohol.

As for the liveliness, she didn't know if it was because she had been quiet for too long recently, or because she was worried about Zhao Yuxuan's poor health.

After staying here for a long time, I felt a little uncomfortable.

But she was sitting in a high seat and was afraid that leaving rashly would affect others.

While Zhao Chengyuan was watching the guests, he also often noticed her actions.

Seeing her looking around anxiously, he said something to the person next to her.

Su Manman and Qiu Ye were calculating the time for the banquet to end when Kong Shun suddenly came around to them, startling them both.

Seeing that the two were frightened, Kong Shun said apologetically, "His Majesty said that if the Queen is not feeling well, she can leave early."

Su Manman, who was worrying about how to leave without appearing abrupt, brightened up when she heard these words.

She looked at Zhao Chengyuan, who was looking at the guests in the audience.

But it didn't matter. With his words, in order not to affect others, she whispered a few words to Empress Dowager Su and then quietly left.

As soon as I left the alcohol-filled banquet and went to an open space, breathing in the fresh air, I immediately felt refreshed.

"My queen, are we going back to Fengwu Palace?"

Su Manman, who no longer felt any discomfort, shook her head after hearing Qiu Ye's words and said, "No hurry, let's go talk to Yu Xian first."

Having made up their minds, the two went to Chengyang Palace.

Halfway through the journey, Su Manman almost tripped over something.

The people who were traveling with him were scared half to death.

Fortunately, Qiu Ye was quick-witted and helped her.

Everyone looked down in shock to see what had tripped Su Manman.

"what--"

When they saw what was on the ground, everyone screamed.

It was a black snake as long as a person's body and as thick as an adult's arm!

The snake must have just jumped out from the side, and unfortunately had its tail kicked by Su Manman. Now it was spitting out its tongue at everyone, and it looked like it was in a bad mood.

The group had never seen such a big snake before, and they were all unarmed, so they were afraid of being attacked and retreated in fear.

When the snake saw everyone retreating, it actually crawled towards them.

Su Manman had never dealt with this kind of creature before. When she saw it coming, she grabbed Qiu Ye and wanted to run away.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Ye was so frightened that his legs became limp and he couldn't move.

But she was concerned about Su Manman's safety, and hurriedly said, "Queen, please don't worry about me! Run!"

Qiu Ye is the only maid who has been with Su Manman since Jiang Zhou came to Yingjing. In the entire palace, she cares about herself the most.

She couldn't just leave it alone.

What's more, the snake was obviously poisonous. If it bit someone, it would probably be fatal.

"My lady, please! Run!"

Seeing that she refused to leave, Qiu Ye pushed Su Manman in desperation and insisted on taking her away no matter what.

This push did push Su Manman away, but she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

"Queen's Empress!!!"

This fall frightened the others who had originally wanted to run away and made them turn pale.

At the same time that Su Manman felt a pain in her abdomen, the snake swam to Qiu Ye.

Qiu Ye was so scared that he collapsed to the ground. He was worried about Su Manman, but at the same time he was afraid of the snake and couldn't help but scream.

The snake seemed to be irritated by her scream. It bared its fangs and bit her.

In a panic, Su Manman didn't care about her own safety. When the snake was about to bite her, she angrily pulled out the hairpin on her head and stabbed it.

The snake was busy biting Qiu Ye and had no time to react, so it was stabbed.

The big black snake did not die immediately after being stabbed, but Su Manman's actions angered it.

It had just attacked Qiu Ye and turned around and rushed towards her madly.

When Su Manman saw this, she had no time to get up and run away, and she was afraid of being bitten, so she rolled on the ground.

He managed to dodge it successfully, but the snake did not give up and attacked him again.

But this time, he was not so lucky and bit her hand directly...the sleeve!

She pulled her hand back quickly, almost.

Su Manman was afraid and angry, and no one else dared to get close.

When she saw this, she realized that this wouldn't work. She had just died once, and she couldn't have another death.

She didn't know where she got the courage from, but at that moment, she suddenly grabbed the tail.

The cold touch made her heart tremble, but she didn't care about anything else.

Without giving it time to react, I grabbed it and pulled it, then threw it left and right to the ground madly with its eyes closed.

During this period, she was afraid that she would be afraid to let go, so she thought about all the people who had a grudge against her.

So, the snake in her hand became her enemy.

Swing left, swing right, swing right

She didn't know how long she had been working so frantically. She finally dared to stop when her hands felt tired.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that the poisonous snake in his hand had been smashed into a bloody mess and was dead.

"Ah! Help! The broken snake is trying to murder me!"

She seemed to realize it belatedly, and in front of everyone's horrified gaze, she threw away the bloody black snake in her hand.

"Empress...Empress! Are you okay?"

In the end, it was Qiu Ye, who was still in shock, who reacted first and rushed over.

Looking at Qiu Ye who was crying with tears and snot, and who cried even more sadly than the day she drowned, Su Manman, who had just rolled around covered in dust and with messy hair, actually smiled.

"Don't worry! I promised the nurse that I would protect you, and I will definitely not break my promise!"

Qiu Ye cried even louder.

"Wuwuwu... You are the queen now... You can't call yourself the princess... It will be a topic of gossip..."

Su Manman looked at Qiu Ye who was always thinking about her, sighed secretly, and caught a glimpse of a figure in the far corner out of the corner of her eye.

It looked like the man had been standing there for a while.

The other party seemed to notice that he had been discovered and disappeared in a flash.

But before she had time to think about it, she discovered that a group of people who had just come out of the banquet were coming towards them in the distance.

Her current image is really not suitable for outsiders to see.

She wanted to get up and leave, but the strong pain under her body gave her a bad feeling.

"Qiu Ye... my stomach hurts..."

Her words reminded Qiu Ye, who was still sobbing, of something and his face turned pale with shock.

"Someone come quickly! Save the Queen! The Queen! The Queen!"
