Almost as Situ Xiu’s words fell, Su Yan shook her head.

"I and he have different meanings."

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

"Doesn’t Your Majesty plan to explain it to him carefully?"

Su Yan looked at Zhao Mu, who was already frozen below.

Then, she glanced at Situ Xiu hiding under the table.

After a moment of silence.

She reached out and pulled Situ Xiu out.

She spoke concisely.

"My Empress is here."

As the words fell, Qiankun Hall suddenly quieted.

Among the three people, only Situ Xiu laughed particularly heartily.

Originally, he thought he would be somewhat resistant.

After all, the title of Empress on a man is somewhat inappropriate.

But hearing her say it like this.

How could he not only not resist.

But also feel quite good?

Hm.

He looked forward to the day of the grand marriage when she would announce it to the world.

She should have told the world all along, that the Empress is his.

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

Su Yan thought about the people under her who were still there.

Thinking about stopping him.

Then, looking at his wrist, which she squeezed until bruised.

She ultimately didn’t exert any strength.

In the empty Qiankun Hall, a loud *smack* was heard.

Accompanied by a kiss.

In Su Yan’s mind, a voice came.

"Ding-dong, congratulations Host, the third star lights up."

Zhao Mu didn’t know how he walked out of Qiankun Hall.

Only knew that when he walked home, he kept replaying what he saw.

The one he supported and his enemy were hugging closely, looking quite affectionate.

Originally, this was the best ending.

The Regent King fell in love with the Empress.

Willing to give up power to hide behind the Emperor and be the Empress.

As long as the time is long enough.

Sooner or later, the court would be controlled by the Empress.

Zhao Mu was lost in thought.

Didn’t know why.

I actually felt a bit empty inside.

Like something was lost.

In Qiankun Hall.

Situ Xiu leaned against the table with a charming smile.

"Your Majesty, your minister seems to be frightened."

Su Yan nodded.

"I see."

Situ Xiu looked at Su Yan, his smile unchanged.

"On the day Your Majesty announces to the world, it seems the people’s expressions will be the same."

Su Yan held him, stood up from the Dragon Chair, and walked out.

Speaking lightly.

"That’s their business."

Situ Xiu let her hold him.

Looking at her back, his smile deepened.

Upon exiting Qiankun Hall.

Su Yan seemed to remember something.

Asked a question.

"Did I hurt you?"

Originally walking behind, Qing Wan paused.

Didn’t know whether to step forward or not at that moment.

Then heard the Regent King’s words float lightly into her ears.

"Hm."

A short response, Qing Wan couldn’t help but look up at Situ Xiu.

Is this still the Regent King she knew?

Just thinking.

Then heard the Empress follow up.

"Next time, be gentler."

An incredible image floated through Qing Wan’s mind.

Couldn’t help but cough lightly.

Originally thought the Empress was the one being bullied.

Now it seems, she misunderstood.

No wonder she is the Empress.

Even the Regent King couldn’t take it, being completely subdued.

······

That evening.

Before sleeping.

Su Yan looked at Situ Xiu, already lying on the Dragon Bed early.

She asked.

"Do you have any wishes?"

This sudden question.

Situ Xiu raised an eyebrow.

"Does the Empress want to fulfill my wish?"

Su Yan seriously.

"I’ll try my best."
