Chapter 114 The old woman drugged Zhao Shizhu
Su Hua's face turned pale. She knelt down in front of Zhao Shizhu and said, "I know I was wrong. I will never bother you again. For your sake, Your Majesty, can you give me another chance to make amends?"

Zhao Shizhu listened to Su Hua's address to Su Ci and said, "You still want to use Su Ci to soften my heart at this time. This is what I hate most about you. I have made up my mind. You only have one chance to choose!"

Su Hua didn't expect Zhao Shizhu to be so heartless. She fell to the ground and said, "I can't go back to the Marquis' Mansion."

Even if she died, she could only die in the palace.

She had been with Zhao Shizhu for three years. Which man in the world would dare to want her? She had no way out and could only stay in the palace.

"I will do as you wish! From today on, you cannot step out of this palace without my order." After Zhao Shizhu said this, he turned and walked away.

As Zhao Shi left one by one, Su Hua burst into tears: "Why did he do this to me for Su Ci? Why?!"

Wenhui didn't expect Su Hua to be so pitiful. If Su Hua couldn't leave the palace, then didn't that mean she couldn't leave either?
How is this different from living in the cold palace?
Although Su Ciren was in Kunning Palace, she learned everything that happened to Su Hua from the barrage.

To be honest, she was a little surprised that Zhao Shizhu was so heartless to Su Hua, but not that surprised.

It’s surprising because the object of Zhao Shizhu’s ruthlessness is his so-called official partner. What’s not surprising is that as the male protagonist in the original novel, isn’t it normal for him to be ruthless and cruel?
When Zhao Shizhu arrived at Kunning Palace, he looked normal and did not mention Su Hua.

Su Ci would not take the initiative to mention Su Hua, and the two of them had dinner in silence.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Zhao Shizhu felt that Su Ci was quieter than usual.

Did Su Hua's arrival affect Su Ci's mood?

In fact, Su Ci suddenly wondered what kind of couple Su Ci and Zhao Shizhu were in the original novel. Was it possible that Su Ci didn't know why he was turned into a living dead by Zhao Shizhu from the moment he took the Xiaoyao Soup?

Her biggest concern is that in the original novel, she is just a tool and Zhao Shizhu's original wife who may be abandoned at any time.

"Your Majesty, is it true that you like me? If one day I do something that makes Your Majesty unhappy, will Your Majesty break my legs or kill me directly?" Su Ci asked bluntly.

Zhao Shizhu was stunned and couldn't answer.

Given his temper, anyone who betrays him will definitely not have a good end, but if that person is Su Ci, would he be willing to use heavy-handed tactics?

He said he would break her legs if she ran away, but...

"You ran away three years ago. After I caught you, I didn't break your legs. As for your life, I'm not interested in it. I just want your heart and your soul." Zhao Shizhu said, and began to reflect, "I shouldn't have said those harsh words. I won't threaten you anymore, and I won't threaten you with Xuanping Marquis' Mansion."

He should also care about the people and things she cares about.

Su Ci lowered her head, feeling that the man's words could not be trusted.

But as Zhao Shizhu said, he did not break her legs after he captured her, which means his threat was just verbal.

"From now on, when there are no outsiders around, I will listen to you. What you care about, I care about too. What you hate, I hate too. We husband and wife will be of one mind from now on, okay?" Zhao Shizhu lowered his posture.

Su Ci disagreed: "Is it okay if I don't say it well?"

"No."

Su Ci was not surprised at Zhao Shizhu's answer, as the male protagonist was self-centered in his nature.

"Others may listen to you, but there is no doubt that you are mine." Zhao Shizhu emphasized again.

Su Ci was too lazy to argue with Zhao Shizhu, but she suffered at night. She didn't know if what she said irritated Zhao Shizhu, so that Zhao Shizhu tormented her for half a night before letting her go. The most resentful were the audience watching the show. They stayed up until midnight only to see a black screen, cursed, and then stayed up early the next morning to continue to swear, which made Su Ci, who was in the middle of the situation, laugh and cry.

After a few days of comfortable days, Gao Ling, who entered the palace under the pretext of attending to an illness, went to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to Su Ci.

When she arrived at Kunning Palace, Su Ci had not yet stood up.

Originally, she thought Nanny Ning's words were exaggerated, but after she waited for two full hours before Su Ci showed up, she realized that it was true that Su Ci was spoiled because of her favor.

She greeted Su Ci politely, presented him with a gift, then got up and left.

Si Xue looked at Gao Ling's back and whispered, "I have observed her for a long time. This Miss Gao is not only beautiful, but also very patient. She was able to sit still and wait for two hours. She is not an ordinary person."

"What does it have to do with me whether she is simple or not?" Su Ci concentrated on eating.

Si Xue shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, this won't work. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Miss Gao has her eyes on Your Majesty. Plus, with the support of the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that Miss Gao will sooner or later enter Your Majesty's harem..."

"Si Xue, you are not young anymore, isn't it time for you to get married?" Su Ci suddenly interrupted Si Xue.

Seeing that Su Ci suddenly changed the topic to herself, Si Xue said unhappily, "I am talking to the queen about serious matters!"

"I'm also talking about serious matters. You and Sanmei shouldn't waste all your time on me. I hope you two can marry into a good family. As for me, I am the queen after all, and no one can shake my position under normal circumstances. Besides, His Majesty is not a soft-hearted person, and his harem cannot be influenced by others." Su Ci said seriously.

Sixue didn't like to hear about getting married, and Sanmei was the same. The two of them found an excuse and sneaked away.

In the evening of that day, when Zhao Shizhu was about to go to Kunning Palace, Nanny Ning came and told him that Empress Dowager Gao had a poor appetite and was unwilling to eat.

Zhao Shizhu had no choice but to take a detour and go to Ci'an Palace.

In Ci'an Palace, Gao Ling was trying to persuade the Queen Mother Gao to have dinner, but the Queen Mother Gao said she couldn't eat. Just then, Zhao Shizhu arrived.

Gao Ling hurried forward to greet Zhao Shizhu.

She had been in the palace for a few days, and this was her second time seeing Zhao Shizhu, but Zhao Shizhu had never looked at her straight in the eye, just like now.

Zhao Shizhu's attention was on Empress Dowager Gao: "But the food is not to your taste? I asked the imperial chef to make a few more dishes and send them up."

"I just don't have much appetite. There's no need to bother them. Well, Emperor, since you are here, just accompany me for dinner." Empress Dowager Gao said, and personally added a bowl of soup for Zhao Shizhu.

Zhao Shizhu didn't suspect anything and took the soup and drank it quickly.

Empress Dowager Gao saw this and was secretly delighted.

She didn't believe that even if she tried to bring them together, Ling'er wouldn't be able to get promoted.

Gao Ling herself was unaware of the Queen Mother's plan. She obediently served food to the side, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible. She knew that haste makes waste.

In Kunning Palace, Su Ci was waiting for Zhao Shizhu to come for dinner, but a barrage of comments suddenly popped up:

[KAO, the old woman drugged Zhao Shizhu?! ]

[Su Ci, come and save your man! ]

The title of my new book is "The whole city laughs at me for being a widow, and the emperor begs me to remarry", my dears, please support me.
