Su Yan looked at his gloomy appearance.
She tried to explain
"I don't."
Situ Xiu's tone was cold.
"You're not lying to me?"
Su Yan paused for a moment
"I'm lying to you."
Hearing her admit to lying to him, Situ Xiu felt a strong urge to strangle her right then and there.
He held her arm tightly.
"He deliberately saved me, got close to me, and deliberately said he liked me to make me lower my guard."
He used his position as a guard to enter the palace and reclaim his identity.
"Your Majesty, what a brilliant plan!"
Although his tone was gentle, every word he uttered carried a sinister undertone.
He was probably too angry, so for the first time he didn't use "this king" but used "me".
Su Yan was taken aback.
She shook her head.
I didn't lie to you.
He clearly seemed to have misunderstood something.
He pinched her chin, his thin, cool lips curving upwards.
"Oh? Really? Which part of your statement wasn't a lie?"
He suddenly smiled
"Your Majesty, please don't say that you truly love me."
"I don't have the patience to play house with you."
After saying that, he straightened up and let go of Su Yan's hand.
"Red Star."
"Your subordinate is here."
"Someone attempted to impersonate Her Majesty the Empress and has been arrested and taken away for trial."
Su Yan thought she was about to be taken away.
As a result, after an incense stick had burned...
The imperial study was kept spotless.
The dragon robe was carefully placed on the chopping board.
Su Yan stood there alone.
Situ Xiu is gone.
The next day, the Empress of Tiansheng Kingdom announced that she was unwell and resting in bed, and would not attend morning court sessions for the next few days.
afternoon.
Su Yan sat in the Imperial Study.
Before her were stacks of memorials to the throne, and the newly promoted personal maid, Qingwan.
She was wearing a golden dragon robe and sat on the dragon throne.
He flipped through the memorials.
She reads very quickly.
First, she is naturally quick at reading.
Secondly, these are all trivial matters.
The banquet schedule will be arranged three days later.
The Vice Minister of Rites frequented brothels.
The Prime Minister is bedridden.
And so on and so forth.
She had previously made walnuts for Situ Xiu.
I've heard some things about it.
The drought in the north resulted in a complete crop failure and many people starving to death.
Severe flooding in the south has destroyed houses and caused countless deaths and injuries.
Let's compare them.
It's as if he's the local tyrant.
Xiaohua spoke up.
"Host, do you have any questions? Little Flower can answer them for you."
Su Yan placed the memorial on the table.
"Who holds the reins of power in the Heavenly Saint Kingdom?"
"Host, military power is in the hands of Lord Situ Xiu, who is currently acting as regent."
After Su Yan listened,
What about me?
"Host, you... are the incomparably noble Empress."
Xiao Hua flattered him.
Su Yan said slowly
"So, this empress has no real power, and even if she issues an imperial edict, no one will listen to her?"
Xiaohua was puzzled.
"Host, what imperial edict do you wish to issue?"
Su Yan looked a little disappointed and lowered her head.
If she had known this identity was so useless, she wouldn't have wanted it.
Even after going to great lengths to retrieve it, an imperial decree still cannot be issued.
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the purse at his waist.
There was also that string of jade prayer beads inside.
That night, after Situ Xiu left.
Su Yan picked up the prayer beads one by one.
Then it all came back together.
Not a single one is missing.
Xiaohua suggested
"Why don't you take back the real power?"
Su Yan shook her head
"I don't want him to die."
Xiao Hua choked.
It's probably because my stamina has increased too much.
As a result, the host now thinks in an exceptionally simple and crude way.
Those who can use their hands will never use their brains.
Xiaohua spoke up.
"Host, you can think of other ways."
Little Flower gave a quiet hint.
