Chapter 184: The Anxious Queen Zhou

Emperor Zhou felt proud when he saw Su Ruyun seeking credit in front of him.

Today's queen was so good at handling things that he even wondered if he had neglected Su Ruyun too much before.

Could it be that I have never entered Su Ruyun's heart before?

I just made such a promise today, and the Queen was so moved. It seems that this is really the case...

Emperor Zhou held Su Ruyun's chin with his hand and looked at her with a scrutinizing look.

He couldn't help but say with satisfaction: "I am very satisfied with your performance today."

Hearing this, Su Ruyun looked very happy.

Soon, she had some ideas in that regard.

She couldn't help but think that what Jun Lintian had said before seemed to be quite right.

I... am just a bitch.

"Your Majesty, I will serve you again..."

Su Ruyun's pretty face turned slightly red and she pretended to be shy.

But it’s a pity that Emperor Zhou’s health is not as strong as the young Jun Lintian. He is still a little tired at the moment and even closed his eyes, feeling a little exhausted.

Seeing this, Su Ruyun felt somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.

After all, Emperor Zhou is old and useless.

How can it compare to the energy of the young man Jun Lintian.

Emperor Zhou's face was also quite embarrassed. He could only pour a glass of water from the side, took a sip and said, "Don't be anxious, Queen. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"You are a little tired, drink some water and take a rest."

This was the only way he could find excuses for himself.

Su Ruyun had no choice but to smile and say, "Well, I'll drink some water first..."

After saying that, Su Ruyun picked up a cup of tea from the table beside her and started drinking it.

After a short rest, Emperor Zhou finally regained some energy.

Seeing this, Su Ruyun wished she could continue to please Emperor Zhou and make him happy, so that the second prince could receive special training.

However, Emperor Zhou did not give him a chance.

Emperor Zhou stepped forward and had a life exchange with Queen Zhou.

"kindness?"

Soon, Emperor Zhou frowned slightly and asked in confusion: "Queen, you have changed."

Upon hearing this, Queen Zhou immediately understood what was going on.

Her mind worked quickly, and she immediately complained, "Your Majesty is still talking..."

"The last time Your Majesty favored me, you didn't know the severity of the situation. Now, I haven't been able to recover."

"I have been thinking about recovery, but I have never found a way..."

When she said this, Su Ruyun also looked helpless and aggrieved.

Needless to say, her acting skills are excellent. The fact that she was able to deceive Emperor Zhou at a time like this also proves that she is capable enough.

"Is that so? I was wrong about you."

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he quickly apologized and said, "I don't have any other intentions, I just feel a little weird, Queen, please don't take it to heart."

He thought about it carefully and felt that no one would dare to cheat on him.

Besides, the harem is heavily guarded. Which man can easily come in without being discovered?
Emperor Zhou didn't think any more and communicated with his wife at ease.

A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Zhou finished, but Su Ruyun still felt a little unsatisfied.

It’s a pity that Emperor Zhou is really old.

He had lost interest in her so quickly. Su Ruyun could only suppress her thoughts. At this moment, she couldn't help but ask about the Second Prince's performance in the past few days.

"Your Majesty, Mingyu has now entered the court to listen to government affairs. I wonder how she is performing? Is Your Majesty satisfied?"

She originally thought that Emperor Zhou would definitely be very satisfied with the Second Prince and would increase his efforts in training him.

But who would have thought that Emperor Zhou's face would suddenly fall.

"Him? Very bad!"

"You don't know what happened at the court this morning. I'm embarrassed to tell you!"

When Su Ruyun saw that Emperor Zhou was so angry, she couldn't help but feel nervous.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

"But what trouble did Mingyu cause? The child is still young and needs to be well trained. Please don't be angry with him."

"You think I want to be mad at him?"

Emperor Zhou looked dissatisfied, and then he told what happened in the morning court today.

After hearing what Emperor Zhou said, Su Ruyun also looked anxious.

She also didn't expect that in just a few days, the situation in the court changed so rapidly.

Even if the Second Prince cannot win over all those powerful ministers, at least he won't be targeted like this, right?

All the civil servants in the court were impeaching the second prince.

Su Ruyun's heart tightened just thinking about it.

Not to mention that Emperor Zhou’s attitude is obviously not good at the moment. If Emperor Zhou is still angry, the Second Prince will have no chance of turning the situation around.

Su Ruyun immediately started to persuade him with her pillow.

"Your Majesty, Mingyu is still young and doesn't understand many things. That, that thing about luring and colluding with officials is all fabricated by others."

"Mingyu is such a well-behaved and sensible child, how could she have any bad intentions..."

Emperor Zhou was also in a state of panic, and felt that his good mood was instantly ruined. He sighed and said, "Even if he has no bad intentions, the civil and military officials in the court don't think so!"

Upon hearing this, Queen Zhou was already extremely anxious.

Of course she knew what kind of situation her son was facing.

If it is not handled properly, then all her previous efforts will be wasted.

So at this moment, Queen Zhou could not help but continue to persuade: "Your Majesty, even if the civil and military officials in the court criticize the Second Prince, it is only to discredit him."

"Your Majesty, you know that although the civil and military officials in the court are under your control, they are in collusion with other families."

"The Second Prince is currently the most suitable candidate for the crown prince position. If even he is impeached, what will happen to the crown prince position in the future?"

"Those civil and military officials in the court just don't know what's good for them. They have to go against your Majesty. From what I've seen, they are not satisfied with anyone. No matter who your Majesty chooses, they will say something bad about it."

However, Queen Zhou's words really made Emperor Zhou a little angry.

You know, what annoys Emperor Zhou the most right now is that these civil officials and military generals are not under his control.

How could he tolerate such a thing as an emperor?

It would be fine if no one else said it, but now Queen Zhou actually picked it out and said it. Isn't this just hitting him right in the heart?

"What's the point of you telling me this? Don't I know this truth?"

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself!"

"The Second Prince was wrong in leaking those letters. I am very disappointed in him!"

Of course Emperor Zhou did not want to admit that he had too little control over the court, so he could only put all the blame on the Second Prince.

"Your Majesty..." (End of this chapter)
