Thinking of this, Su Wanwan became even more agitated.
Given his cold and ruthless nature, how could he possibly treat her well?
Her defiance and heartlessness on the canal will likely be repaid to her in kind.
But her mother-in-law threatened suicide, so she had no choice but to go through with it.
...
Su Wanwan stood outside the Imperial Study, feeling dizzy and unsteady from the scorching sun.
Manager Li came to persuade her for the sixth time:
“Madam Su, the Emperor is too busy to see you. Why do you insist on standing here in the sun for an hour? Heatstroke is no joke.”
Su Wanwan bit her two dry pink lips, her eyes pleading: "Steward Li, please inform him again."
"My husband sacrificed his life for the country, leaving me and my child with no one to rely on. I beg Your Majesty to do me justice and not let the centuries-old title of Duke of Wei fall into the wrong hands."
Steward Li shook his head and sighed, "This old servant will inform you again, but you shouldn't be so stubborn."
Inside the Imperial Study.
Emperor Zhengxuan, Lu Xingjian, held a memorial in his hand and looked at Chief Steward Li, who was entering the room, with a cold gaze.
"I will not see her. If she wants to see anyone, she can go to the Empress in Kunning Palace."
The sound was clear and cold, like an icy spring flowing over jade, carrying a bone-chilling cold.
Chief Steward Li's gaze fell on the memorial in his hand.
Suppressing a laugh, he put on a pained and resentful expression and said:
"Oh, Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with this memorial? You've been reading it for an hour."
For an hour, the Emperor kept looking at the cover of the memorial. It seems there's something interesting about the cover!
Su Wanwan, who was just a door away, clearly heard their conversation.
His body stiffened, and he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
As expected.
He was clearly inside, but he just didn't want to see her.
Their past relationship was long over.
Besides, he was inherently heartless.
Even if I let her stand in the scorching sun for an hour, I won't show the slightest bit of leniency.
The heartless words she uttered on the canal three years ago are now echoing back to her.
The current empress is Xia Xueyi.
Just three months after his wedding last year, he launched a swift and decisive attack, forcing two cabinet ministers to resign.
The first to be affected was Su Wanwan's grandfather, Su Jian.
She has completely lost her support.
He felt no affection for her whatsoever; in fact, he probably hated her.
So be it.
Having done it this way, I can at least give my mother-in-law an explanation.
Su Wanwan stiffly moved her numb legs and headed towards Kunning Palace.
The door to the Imperial Study finally opened slowly.
The bright sunlight outside gradually fell on the tall, elegant man.
The dark dragon robe was solemn and dignified.
A red leather belt with dragon patterns was lightly tied around her waist, highlighting her narrow waist and long legs, and her spine was as straight as a pine tree.
Hands behind the back.
It is the composure and calmness of someone who has long held a high position and strategizes effectively.
