Chapter 1334: The Emperor Is Expecting 49
The morning court lasted for one hour.
It ended very quickly.
When all the officials had dispersed,
only Situ Xiu was still there, not leaving.
The female official Qing Wan, who was serving at the side, quickly figured out the situation.
She lowered her head.
"This servant will take my leave."
Su Yan nodded.
Very soon, Qing Wan left.
She went to stand guard at the door.
The main doors of Qiankun Hall creaked slowly shut.
Through the Beaded Curtain, Su Yan looked at him.
Confused,
"Is there anything else?"
Situ Xiu stepped on the Mutton Fat Jade steps, walking up to the Dragon Chair one step at a time.
He had a faint smile on his face.
"Your Majesty has grown up."
Su Yan blinked.
Waiting for his next words.
With the desk between them, Situ Xiu said,
"I was worried at first that Your Majesty would be bullied. Now it seems, Your Majesty is just a little slow, but not stupid at all."
Su Yan fell silent.
Hearing this, she didn’t feel particularly happy.
She spoke up,
"What are you trying to say?"
Situ Xiu said,
"I want to ask, when will Your Majesty proclaim it to the world?"
"Proclaim what?"
"Proclaim that you will make me Empress."
When he said this, he was exceptionally open and upright, not the least bit like someone being humiliated.
There was even an unnamed hint of excitement in his words.
Su Yan paused.
"After the hidden danger of the southern floods has been taken care of?"
Situ Xiu raised an eyebrow.
"Is Your Majesty planning to have me follow you like this, without name or status, for the next few months?"
Su Yan said seriously,
"You are the Regent King, how are you without name or status?"
"That’s not the status I want."
The more he spoke, the more justified and confident he sounded.
Su Yan blinked as she listened.
It somehow sounded like he was the one getting the short end of the stick.
When clearly she was the one being eaten up.
He was living quite happily every day.
Situ Xiu walked up to the Dragon Chair.
"I stayed today just to ask Your Majesty for an explanation."
"What kind of explanation?"
"About my status."
Situ Xiu lowered his head and kissed Su Yan’s lips.
Holding her in his arms, the two were extremely close.
His voice murmured low by Su Yan’s ear,
"Have I not served Your Majesty well?"
Su Yan thought of her nights these days.
She replied slowly,
"It’s... okay."
After speaking, she raised her head.
Meeting those burning eyes,
"I never said I would give the position of Empress to someone else."
"Really? Yet that Hostage from Fenglin Country has been thinking about it nonstop."
Situ Xiu’s tone was oddly sour.
Su Yan muttered,
"That has nothing to do with me."
Situ Xiu pressed Su Yan down, and without meaning to, forced her more and more against the Dragon Chair.
Suddenly, Qing Wan’s voice rang from outside,
"Your Majesty, Lord Zhao Mu says he has urgent business and requests an audience."
Su Yan glanced at Situ Xiu.
"You, what do we do with you?"
The man who had been absentmindedly tugging at her belt suddenly froze.
"Does Your Majesty want me to leave and let that man in?"
This was official business.
But hearing it from his mouth somehow made it sound strange.
While she was thinking that,
Su Yan grabbed him and decided not to bother reasoning with him.
He never listened to reason anyway.
He just kept trying to stash himself somewhere.
And it felt like no matter where she hid him, he couldn’t be properly hidden.
Outside, Qing Wan called again,
"Emperor?"
In the end, Su Yan stuffed him under the table.
Situ Xiu’s face was dark.
He looked extremely displeased at being hidden under the table like this.
But he didn’t say anything more.
He only held onto Su Yan’s hand.
