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

Su Manman had to stay in bed and rest, but it was obvious that she couldn't rest at all.

After she woke up, the concubines in the palace came to visit her one after another.

But as someone who grew up in the palace, she could tell at a glance that most people came to laugh at her under the guise of concern.

As long as they didn't talk nonsense in front of her, she didn't care.

After all, she couldn't stop people from gossiping in private.

However, it's not that no one cares about her.

Empress Dowager Su also came to see her afterwards. She didn't say anything reproachful to her. She just sighed silently and told her to take good care of her health.

Su Manman knew that she had disappointed her again.

She left home and entered the palace when she was young, and has always been close to Empress Dowager Su.

It can be said that the two are not much different from mother and daughter, except that they are not biological children.

But what made her feel even more guilty was that her accident ruined Empress Dowager Su's originally joyful birthday banquet.

After waking up, she learned from others that Empress Dowager Su ended the banquet early after she knew that she was in trouble and her child was gone.

In addition, the other person she felt most sorry for was Qiu Ye.

Qiu Ye was originally the daughter of her wet nurse, Xiao Zhou, who was only two years older than her and had been serving her since she was a child.

When she was going to come to Yingjing, she knew it was a road of no return, so she was given the opportunity to stay in Jiangzhou.

But she was afraid that she would be scared if she left home and went to a completely unfamiliar place.

Qiu Ye, who was only seven years old at the time, resolutely followed her wet nurse and left her hometown to enter the palace.

Later, the wet nurse unfortunately fell ill and died. Many of the servants who came with her were replaced later, leaving only Qiu Ye to stay with her.

She had promised the wet nurse that she would take care of Qiu Ye, but now Zhao Chengyuan has locked her up.

Not only did she lock her up, she also threatened her that if she dared to do anything out of line, Qiu Ye's life would be in jeopardy.

Su Manman was so angry that her lungs almost exploded, but there was nothing she could do.

She was not afraid of him, but Qiu Ye was still in his hands, and she was afraid that if she made him angry, he would do something.

Since they had a fight when they woke up, she decided not to argue with him for Qiu Ye's sake.

As a result, the two of them seemed to be much more friendly - at least on the surface.

As for Su Manman's heart, when she saw him, she wanted to get him out of her sight.

But this man, knowing full well that she would feel unhappy when she saw him, still showed up in her bedroom every day without fail.

In theory, he was concerned about her health and made her stay in bed to recuperate, but in reality, it was a disguised form of house arrest.

Later, even if she felt that she was fine and could go out, he would not let her leave.

Su Manman suspected that he was preventing her from running away, and she had evidence.

She already had enough servants in the palace, and he transferred a lot of people over.

There wasn't so much work in her palace that needed this group of unhappy people to do. It was obvious that they were arranged to keep an eye on her.

"This bastard! I will divorce him sooner or later!"

Su Manman, who was bored of being locked up and could only eat and drink to pass the time, had made up her mind.

Since Zhao Chengyuan refused to divorce her and was unwilling to depose the queen, she would divorce him.

After all, there is no provision in the laws of Ruihuang Country that states that a woman cannot divorce her husband!

She didn't just talk about it. The moment she thought of this, she asked someone to prepare paper and ink and started writing.

When Zhao Chengyuan came to see her after court, he saw the divorce letter she had written and handed it to him, and his expression twitched.

After a long while, he managed to squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth, "The Queen is not going to care about Qiu Ye's life or death?"

As he spoke, he tore up the divorce letter in his hand.

Su Manman was chewing melon seeds and watching him tear them, but she wasn't angry.

Although Zhao Chengyuan didn't let her go out, she had been worried about Qiu Ye and had asked Xiao Xiazi to visit her.

Everything was fine with Qiu Ye except that he was temporarily locked up and couldn't return to her.

"Of course I have to take care of that, but I also have to implement this divorce."

After saying that, he brushed off the dust on his hands from eating melon seeds and stood up.

"Give me."

"Give what?"

Seeing Su Manman approaching eagerly and extending her hand, Zhao Chengyuan instinctively took two steps back.

The last time she kicked him, they were in a similar isolation. He was afraid that this time, if he tore up her divorce papers, she would be unhappy and kick him again.

"Don't pretend. Since you tore up the divorce agreement I wrote, you wrote one yourself."

Su Manman said dissatisfiedly, looked at him, and seeing that he had nothing in his hands, she added another sentence.

"If there is no divorce letter, an imperial edict to depose the empress will do."

Zhao Chengyuan laughed angrily.

"If I really wanted to depose the empress, would I have to come and deliver the imperial edict in person?"

Su Manman thought about it for a moment, felt that it made sense, and withdrew her hand.

"Since you don't recognize what I wrote, then go back and write it and have someone send it to me. I don't want to be the queen for even a day. You can let whoever you want be the queen!"

From her tone, it was clear that she really had no attachment to the position of queen.

Zhao Chengyuan, who had said all kinds of good and bad things these days, was still so stubborn when he saw her. He probably felt that his authority and dignity were challenged, and he became angry.

"Su Manman! Don't push your luck too far. You don't know what's good for you!"

He looked angry, with an innocent look on his face, and looked at him with resentful eyes.

"Didn't you say that the empress was deposed in front of the empress dowager? Aren't the emperor's words final? You said it, so why don't you do it?"

Zhao Chengyuan was defeated and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"You weren't like this before..."

Su Manman really couldn't understand why some people would use this as an excuse when they were in the wrong.

It's as if he is the victim.

She didn't want to let him control her like before.

"Ah, yes, yes, I am unreasonable, I am immoral, I am incompetent, and I am not worthy of you at all. Please destroy me quickly and let your true love who deserves you take my place!"

Having died once and almost died twice, she has finally come to terms with it.

No matter whether he is the Jade Emperor or the Emperor, she is so bad that she can't be coaxed at all.

"You...are really unreasonable!"

Zhao Chengyuan, who had just arrived, was so angry that he turned around and left, but he still threatened her with full force.

"If you don't repent, don't even think about setting foot out of this Fengwu Palace again!"

Su Manman said "I'm so scared", but her face showed "I can't do it".

She didn't do anything wrong, why should she change?

If she is not allowed to go out, then she won’t go out. She should eat and drink as usual. She is not going to die anyway, so just stay alive first!

She had just driven away Zhao Chengyuan who had just arrived. She was sitting down and continuing to crack melon seeds with a refreshed mood when she saw three sneaky figures at the door.

To be precise, there were two healthy men and women, with a prince who had difficulty in moving.

The people outside the door noticed that she noticed them and simply stopped hiding.

"Um... Queen, we didn't mean to eavesdrop on you, it's just that your voice and His Majesty's voice were a little loud... and we accidentally got into our ears..."
