Chapter 1321: The Emperor Is Expecting 35
Su Yan listened to him as soon as he spoke.
She inexplicably felt that even this open and honest matter had changed in tone.
Su Yan spoke
"Qing Wan is here too."
Situ Xiu lifted his eyelids and followed the direction of Su Yan’s finger
"Where is she?"
Su Yan looked over.
Qing Wan, in order not to disturb, had self-consciously retreated ten meters away, standing behind the pillar.
As a result, taking a glance in that direction, one truly couldn’t see where she was.
Su Yan pulled out some candy and stuffed two pieces into his hand again.
"Foreign envoys are here, shouldn’t the Regent King go back to preside over the situation?"
Situ Xiu laughed, his throat moving
"Are you trying to get rid of me?"
Clearly said with a laugh, yet it felt devoid of any humor.
Su Yan
"I... have affairs to attend to."
After she finished speaking.
Situ Xiu looked at her serious appearance.
"I, take my leave."
After speaking, he left contentedly.
And took away all the candy from Su Yan’s wallet while he was at it.
Su Yan tugged at her clothes.
Sat on the stone bench.
She looked at the place where Zhao Mu was lying down.
He actually hadn’t gotten up yet.
Not only that.
His feet, waist, hands, eyes, and even mouth.
All covered by something like icy fog.
Bright white.
Extraordinarily conspicuous under the moonlight’s reflection.
Su Yan spoke
"Su Gu, release him."
Her voice was calm.
Naturally, she wasn’t angry.
When Su Yan’s words fell, the snow-white layer on Zhao Mu vanished instantly.
Immediately, the person who had originally fallen to the ground motionless.
Bounced back up from the ground.
Having struggled all along, he didn’t expect to be able to move suddenly.
He stood up.
Looked around, not yet comprehending.
Su Yan spoke
"Zhao Mu."
Zhao Mu snapped back to reality.
Hurriedly walked over.
"I pay respects to the Empress."
Su Yan nodded
"Rise."
"Yes"
"What do you wish to speak to me about?"
Zhao Mu did not answer.
Instead, he looked around.
Until Su Yan stated
"He’s already gone."
Only then did Zhao Mu bow his head
"Empress, I’ve found that not everyone in court supports the Regent King.
In fact, quite a few are very dissatisfied with his regency.
I believe, Empress, you could discreetly support these people."
After hearing this.
Su Yan lifted her head to look at him.
After a while.
Seriously asked
"Did I ask you to investigate these things?"
Zhao Mu was taken aback.
"Empress..."
Su Yan
"I instructed you to keep an eye on the Assistant Minister of War."
Listening to Su Yan’s words.
Zhao Mu lowered his head again
"I am ashamed."
After Su Yan heard his words of shame, she paused for a moment.
Said
"Is there anything else to report?"
Zhao Mu shook his head
"I am, I am ashamed."
Once more, Zhao Mu felt shame.
He had not accurately gauged the Emperor’s intentions.
Instead, he had wasted so much time.
Su Yan nodded
"If that’s the case, you may leave."
Zhao Mu kneeled and took a step closer to Su Yan.
A bit agitated
"I have a question."
"Speak"
"Your Majesty seems unconcerned about which minister the court is loyal to. If this goes on day after day, I fear the disunity will grow."
Su Yan was puzzled
"That’s all?"
"I earnestly ask for your explanation, Empress."
In Zhao Mu’s eyes.
Su Yan, newly in power, didn’t understand anything and thought too one-sidedly.
So he wanted to give Su Yan a hint in this way.
Not to hurt the ministers’ hearts.
Su Yan, with her head down, slowly said
"Even if I won the hearts of the court, so what?
Without a military force strong enough to counterbalance, if the Regent King rebels one day.
Do I expect the court officials to demonstrate their loyalty by dying?"
