AFTER HER DIVORCE, SHE ESCAPED WITH A STRONG MAN TO FARM [Part 2]

Ch 569 - 570

Chapter 569: Discord Between Emperor and Empress

Su Qing walked over and picked up the memorial. It was written by a Grand Scribe named Zhou Wen. The Grand Scribe didn't have much power. He was responsible for records, sacrifices, the calendar, and classics. He was commonly known as a historian.

It was unknown if this person was trying to curry favor with Xiao Zeyu, if he was too bored, or if he had other motives. Still, he submitted a memorial to Xiao Zeyu, asking him to take in concubines. He said that the Emperor's children were a big matter and that he should take in more concubines and have more sons to spread his branches.

He even said that how could the ruler of a country not have three palaces and six courtyards? Only by taking concubines could the ministers in the court be united. Now that the country was prosperous and the people were at peace, they should recruit more beautiful women. To build a good relationship with the neighboring countries, they should also marry them. Only then could the border be peaceful.

This fellow had written a lot. If it weren't for the limited number of memorials, he probably wouldn't have finished. He felt a little unsatisfied.

According to what he meant, if the Emperor did not accept a concubine, it would be a sin. If he did not unite the ministers and live in harmony, it would not be conducive to the stability of the court.

Xiao Zeyu hadn't seen this memorial before. He had just opened it when Su Qing came back, so he had placed it on the table. Seeing Su Qing's expression change and her body emitting a cold aura, he hurriedly went over to take a look.

His face turned black from anger. Was Zhou Wen bored?

Why didn't he make any suggestions when the imperial court was discussing how to quell the rebellion? When discussing attacking the small countries that invaded the imperial court, he still tried to stop them. He was simply a guy who couldn't do anything.

“What does the emperor think?”

Su Qing's face darkened as she threw the memorial onto the table. She rarely got angry, but now, her stomach was filled with anger. She had just helped Xiao Zeyu conquer the world, and he was already restless.

Did he deliberately open the memorial for her to see to test her attitude? Su Qing looked at Xiao Zeyu with a heavy gaze. If that were what he meant, she wouldn't want to be the Empress anymore but become the Emperor instead!

Facing Su Qjng's icy cold gaze, he didn't even dare to call her name when she called him 'emperor.' Other than during the Empress Conferring Ceremony, she had always called him Shuisheng. It was apparent how angry she was!

Xiao Zeyu felt wronged and hurriedly explained,

“Qing'er, this wasn't my intention. I haven't had the chance to read this memorial yet!”

“Emperor, if you're interested in taking a concubine, I can help you choose one.”

Su Qing looked coldly at Xiao Zeyu, her eyes devoid of warmth. Rage burned in her eyes, and her face was as dark as ink.

“Qing'er, you've misunderstood me. In this lifetime, I'm only willing to be with you forever. There's no room for anyone else between us.”

Xiao Zeyu felt he couldn't wash his name away even if he jumped into the Yellow River. Qing'er had never been so cold to him before. That gaze of hers felt as though thousands of mountains and rivers separated her, so unfamiliar.
