Lin Chujiu knew very well, that even if she had guessed the emperor’s real intention before, even if she knew that this was a trap, she still had to jump in. She could only jump in.

This time, the emperor used such a conspiracy, so she had no other choice.

When the imperial decree was put down, she could only either accept the imperial decree and admit that it was Xiao Tianyao who instigated the price increase of foods; Or refused to accept the imperial decree so that the emperor could no longer cause trouble and fight against those unscrupulous merchants. Besides those, she has no third way to go.

“How hateful.” Lin Chujiu slammed the table and then said with a low voice: “I don’t know who gave the emperor such an idea, but that person is so insidious.”

Lin Chujiu doesn’t believe that it was the emperor who thought of this. Although she couldn’t understand the emperor completely, she knew that the emperor only wants to fight Xiao Tianyao to death.

For so many years, the emperor didn’t do anything to Xiao Tianyao except for sending him to the battlefield. This time, it was quite a scene. Because of this, she and Su Cha failed to figure out the emperor’s intention until the end.

Lin Chujiu guessed was not wrong. The emperor pushed Xiao Tianyao to fight the Central Empire was a scheme that the Empress come up with!

When the Emperor learned that Lin Chujiu refused to accept the imperial edict and even choose the p.a.w.nshop by Zhang Family, he knew that everything was moving according to the Empress’s plan.

So that night, the emperor stayed in the empress’s palace. The couple was very enthusiastic in the bed. The empress also changed from being rigid to being tender and sweet… …

The emperor was very satisfied with the empress, who was still dignified and beautiful. After making love, he held the empress in his arms and softly said: “Zitong, how fortunate I am to marry you.”

“What is his majesty’s saying? It is I, who’s lucky to marry you.” The empress rested in the emperor’s arms like a cat. Her charming and lazy appearance scratched the emperor’s heart. The emperor turned around and pressed the empress under his body. He kissed the corner of her eyes: “Zitong, you are very unusual tonight, but it makes me happy.”

The emperor seemed doesn’t know how to get tired. His kiss deepened. And he once again doted the empress. The empress cooperated very well again, but no one knew what kind of pain she was enduring behind the smile on her face.

The two kept tossing until midnight. The empress’s eyes slightly squinted, she looked very tired. She wanted to sleep, but she didn’t dare to sleep.

Contrary to the empress’s sleepy eyes, the emperor’s eyes were clear. When he saw that the empress was feeling drowsy, his eyes flashed, he softly whispered in the empress ear: “Zitong, how did you think of pus.h.i.+ng Tianyao to fight the Central Empire?”

“Ah … what?” The empress stupidly asked as if she was really confused.

“About the price increase of food.” The emperor explained as he kissed the empress’s ear. The empress hid for a moment in irritation, and then vaguely said: “Oh… it was the crown prince who said that idea. He made a mistake recently. He wanted to please his majesty in fear that you will be angry with him.”

After the empress said those words, she pulled the quilt and wrapped herself, then she hid in the corner. She was afraid to be toss by the emperor again.

“The Crown Prince?” Hearing this answer, the emperor slightly frowned. He looked at empress without a trace of nostalgia, got up and got out of bed, then he took his clothes on the side, put them on, and walked out of the room.

The emperor went straight out of the room and didn’t even look back. He didn’t see the empress opened her eyes and sneered after he got out of bed… …
