Tonight I will wait for the emperor's favor in Kunning Palace
Su Qingli lightly broke free from Madam Su's hand, walked slowly to the main seat and sat down. Her posture was elegant but with a chill from a thousand miles away.
"That's not what my mother said when she sold me to a brothel."
Madam Su's expression changed, and she stepped forward to apologize humbly, "That...that was all due to mother's confusion and her mind being possessed by a ghost. You are now the noble queen, and you should be magnanimous. Please forgive mother this time."
The corners of her lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, and Su Qingli snorted coldly, "I want to forgive you, but when I think of those days in the brothel, and remember that it was you and A-di who sold me out, I can't breathe!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Su's face turned pale and she almost knelt down. "Qingli, don't mention those things. If you really hold a grudge, then go ahead and hit me or scold me, as long as it helps you calm down!"
"I just can't understand why you treat me like dirt and him like a treasure, even though both my brother and I are your children?" Su Qing's eyes were filled with deep pain, and tears streamed down her face as she spoke, "I've poured my heart and soul into supporting this family, and what has he ever done besides doing nothing and causing trouble? Why does he get all your favor so easily? And I deserve to be despised, abused, and sold to that kind of place by you!"
Su Qingli's pent-up grievances and pain burst out in an instant.
"After all, he's a man, and he can continue the Su family's bloodline. Qingli, mother's favoritism isn't given to outsiders, so why are you arguing with your own brother?"
Mrs. Su secretly sighed that Su Qingli was ignorant of the overall situation and was too petty, but she had to coax her in a gentle manner on the surface.
"No matter how many mistakes you make, they are all mother's fault! From now on, mother will definitely treat everyone equally. Let's live in harmony as a family, okay?"
Su Qingli was not satisfied with this answer. Her eyes were sharp as a torch. "What if I force Mother to choose between me and Zhaoming?"
Mrs. Su choked suddenly, and an obvious struggle flashed across her face.
In the past, she would have made a choice without even having to think about it, but now Su Qingli is the queen, and following her means she will have unlimited glory and no worries about food and clothing.
If they chose Zhaoming, both mother and son would surely starve to death.
"Qingli, I choose you. After all, you are a girl and need your mother's company more. As for Zhaoming... he is a man and it is time for him to make his own way." Madam Su forced out what she thought was the most loving smile.
Forget it, just try to please Su Qingli, and if a little bit of money slips through her fingers, it will be enough for Zhaoming to enjoy a lifetime of wealth.
Su Qingli curled her lips and said, "Okay, then please ask mother to explain things to Zhaoming clearly. It would be best if he leaves the palace tomorrow."
After achieving her goal, she didn't want to stay any longer and turned around and walked out of the side hall.
Mrs. Su said a few flattering words, then she didn't want to bother with her anymore. She sat at the table, struggling over how to bring this up with her son.
Su Qingli walked out of the hall, raised her hand and gently wiped the remaining moisture on her cheek with her fingertips, a cold and satisfied smile appearing on her face.
"Go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
Fu Xuechen had just raised his head from the memorial to report, and before he could say anything, he saw Su Qingli walk in without looking around, as if he didn't notice the several important officials standing on both sides.
Under the horrified gazes of several people, she naturally sat sideways on Fu Xuechen's lap, kissed him on the face, and hooked her arm around his neck seductively, "Did you miss me?"
The ministers in the court were already quite dissatisfied with Queen Su Qingli. Seeing her behave so dissolutely, they looked at each other, and the same disgust was in their eyes.
Finally, they all cast sharp and unanimous glances at Su Qingli to express their dissatisfaction.
Su Qingli's eyes swept across those faces filled with disgust.
She sneered in her heart. She had no grudges against these people. They hated her not because of what she had done, but because of the indelible stigma of "daughter of a traitor" on her.
Fu Xuechen tightened his grip on the memorial and dismissed the ministers helplessly. "If you have nothing else to report, please leave first."
Several ministers stood still. Having finally caught the queen with something to hold against her, they naturally wanted to say a few words.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw the dissolute queen had already put her arms around the emperor's neck and kissed him openly. The blushing sound was particularly harsh in the silent palace. It was simply a filthy palace and disgusting!
This, this is outrageous!
Several people almost couldn't breathe, they were shocked and confused, and hurriedly lowered their heads, wishing they were blind at this moment, and retreated in a hurry.
As soon as the person left, Su Qingli let go of Fu Xuechen, looking completely uninterested.
Seeing that the person who had been pestering him just now now had a cold expression, Fu Xuechen rubbed his brows tiredly, "Are you satisfied?"
"I've kissed enough." Su Qingli nodded, with a hint of lazy satisfaction in her tone.
Fu Xuechen stared at her profile for a while, thinking that she had just returned from her brother and mother's place, and yet she ran to him without stopping to stir up trouble. She was really energetic.
But she just kept saying she was tired every day and rejected his desire for sex.
"The Queen is so energetic today. It seems that you will not let me stay alone in the empty room tonight?" He put his arm around her waist, silently hinting to her.
Su Qingli was stunned for a moment, then forced a faint smile and whispered in his ear, "I will wait for the emperor's favor in Kunning Palace tonight."
Although he knew her words were untrustworthy, she kept looking at him seductively and twisted her body deliberately. Fu Xuechen's eyes instantly darkened, "The Queen is so impatient so soon?"
Su Qingli, far from being embarrassed, raised her eyebrows and kindly reminded him, "Your Majesty, please ask the imperial kitchen to prepare more ingredients that strengthen the body, such as deer antlers and bull penis, so that you can nourish your body well, otherwise your legs will be weak tomorrow and you will miss the morning court."
Qian Jue on the side lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the tips of his shoes, but his ears stood up uncontrollably.
After hearing what Su Qingli said, he couldn't hold back his laughter and burst out laughing.
Fu Xuechen then realized that there were other people in the hall. His eyes suddenly turned cold. He casually grabbed a memorial and slammed it heavily on the imperial desk. "Qian Jue, is this funny?"
"I dare not!" Qian Jue hurriedly lowered his head and knelt down to admit his mistake.
"Okay, don't be angry anymore. Save your energy for tonight." Su Qingli stood up from him, a sly smile on her lips. "I'll go tell the imperial kitchen to prepare the ingredients."
Looking at Su Qingli's receding back, Fu Xuechen's brows furrowed, and an inexplicable sense of doubt and heaviness lingered in his heart.
Qian Jue saw Fu Xuechen's sad face and thought that he was nervous about what happened tonight. In order to make up for his previous mistake, he hurriedly helped and gave some advice.
"Your Majesty, may I ask the imperial physician for some strengthening tonic?"
