Almost as soon as Situ Xiu finished speaking, Su Yan shook her head.

"I and he are not of the same mind."

Situ Xiu lowered his head and kissed the back of Su Yan's hand.

"Does Your Majesty not intend to explain this to him in detail?"

Su Yan glanced at Zhao Mu, who was frozen in place below.

Let's take another look at Situ Xiu, who is hiding under the table.

She was silent for a moment.

He reached out and pulled Situ Xiu out.

She was concise and shocking.

"My empress is here."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Qiankun Palace fell silent.

Of the three people, only Situ Xiu laughed heartily.

I originally thought I would be slightly resistant.

After all, it's somewhat inappropriate to use the term "Empress" on a man.

I just listened to her say that.

How could he not resist?

And you seem to be in a pretty good mood?

kindness.

He was looking forward to the day she would announce her marriage to the world.

He should have told the world that this empress was his.

Thinking this, Situ Xiu lowered his head to kiss Su Yan.

Su Yan thought about how her people were still here.

I wanted to hold him down.

Then, looking at his wrist, which he had gripped so tightly it was turning blue and purple.

In the end, I didn't put in any effort.

A loud splattering sound came from the empty Qiankun Palace.

Accompanied by that kiss.

A voice echoed in Su Yan's mind.

"Ding dong, congratulations host, the third star has lit up."

Zhao Mu didn't know how he got out of the Qiankun Palace.

All he knew was that as he walked home, the scene he had witnessed was still replaying in his mind.

The person he supports and his sworn enemy are embracing and hugging, looking very affectionate.

Originally, this was the best possible ending.

The Regent has fallen in love with the Empress.

She wanted to relinquish power and hide behind the emperor, willingly becoming the empress.

Given enough time.

Sooner or later, the Empress will take control of the court.

Zhao Mu was distraught.

I don't know why.

I felt a strange emptiness inside.

It felt like something was lost.

Inside the Qiankun Palace.

Situ Xiu leaned against the chopping board, his smile alluring.

"Your Majesty, your ministers seem to be frightened."

Su Yan nodded

"I can tell."

Situ Xiu looked at Su Yan, his smile unchanged.

"When His Majesty announces this to the world, I'm afraid the people of the world will have the same expression."

Su Yan pulled him up from the dragon throne and walked out.

The voice was faint

That's someone else's business.

Situ Xiu let her lead him.

His smile deepened as he watched her retreating figure.

After leaving the Qiankun Palace.

Su Yan seemed to remember something.

I asked a question

"Did I hurt you?"

Qingwan, who had been following behind, paused.

I don't know whether I should go forward or not.

Then, she heard the Regent's words float lightly into her ears.

"kindness"

With a brief reply, Qingwan couldn't help but look up at Situ Xiu.

Is this still the regent she knows?

I was just thinking about it.

Then the Empress added another sentence

Be gentler next time.

An incredible image flashed through Qingwan's mind.

I couldn't help but cough softly.

I originally thought the Empress was the one being bullied.

In retrospect, it seems I misunderstood.

She truly deserves to be called an empress.

Even the regent couldn't withstand it and was completely subdued.

······

That evening.

Before going to sleep.

Su Yan looked at Situ Xiu, who was already lying on the dragon bed.

She asked

Do you have any wishes?

This question came out of nowhere.

Situ Xiu raised an eyebrow.

"Your Majesty, will you grant my wish?"

Su Yan was serious

I'll try my best.
