Chapter 1978: Your Majesty’s Family Affairs Are the Affairs of the NationChapter 1978: Your Majesty’s Family Affairs Are the Affairs of the Nation
The ministers all bowed their heads.
“Your Majesty’s family affairs are the affairs of the nation. Your Majesty should share your favor evenly, and give birth to an imperial son soon,” Empress Fu Wanhui’s father, Imperial Tutor Fu, cupped his hands and said.
Zhao Xu harrumphed, his expression frigid. After court, he went to the Palace of Prolonged Autumn to reproach Ning Shu. “The inner palace is not permitted to meddle in politics. What kind of inner palace is the empress managing, allowing the inner palace’s imperial concubines to vent to their family?”
“During court this morning, these ministers even compelled me. They wanted me to give favor evenly. I am the emperor, yet they intend to manage even which woman I wish to dote on.” Zhao Xu’s expression was grim, his eyes narrowed fiercely as he looked at Ning Shu.
Ning Shu: …
Ning Shu felt that she was so pitiful. Whenever anything happened, he would first blame her.
“It was this subject wife’s fault. This subject wife will supervise the inner palace’s imperial concubines more carefully.” Ning Shu bent her body and curtsied as she said, “Your Majesty dotes on Noble Lady Zhou a lot… this subject wife wouldn’t say anything but Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body. Recently, Your Majesty has been visiting Noble Lady Zhou’s Jade Court every day. This subject wife is worried. Your Majesty’s facial color has become a bit yellow recently.”

“I look bad?” Zhao Xu reflexively stroked his face. “Is my complexion really that bad?”
“Your Majesty, it really is. Your dark circles are even slightly green.” Ning Shu nodded as she spoke.
Zhao Xu’s pupils contracted. It truly felt like he was in the heavens in Noble Lady Zhou’s body. It was very refreshing and no other woman’s body felt that way.
“This subject wife doesn’t think that Noble Lady Zhou is some kind of demon, ghost, or fox spirit that absorbs a person’s essences. But Your Majesty must cherish your body,” Ning Shu said.
Zhao Xu pondered for a while before nodding. “My empress is right.”
His lips say that she was right, but who knew what he was truly thinking?
Zhao Xu never bared his heart to the women in the inner palace.
He claimed that he would pay attention to his body that morning, but she bet that Zhao Xu would still visit the Jade Court that night.
Ning Shu silently prayed that Zhao Xu would hurry and kick the bucket. However, if he really died, the women in the inner palace would no longer have a place here, including her, the empress.
If the giant tree fell, how could the dodder that clings to and grows on the tree survive?
Life was so sad!
It seemed that she had to speed things up. But Ning Shu didn’t want her hands to get dirty. At the very least, she wanted to be a taintless empress.
Yet she was unable to make sense of his behavior. A lot of people saw Noble Lady Zhou’s strangeness. There were no fools among the ones who have been able to survive in the inner palace. Why was Zhao Xu acting like a retard who didn’t watch his surroundings or listen to reason?
The inner palace was already filled with rumors that Noble Lady Zhou was a demon, but Zhao Xu kept heading over to spend the night with the demon.
Ning Shu admired his courage.

However, Zhao Xu gave Ning Shu the impression of being someone that felt not taking great risks meant there would be nothing to gain.
By tolerating Noble Lady Zhou so much, he must be seeking something in Noble Lady Zhou’s possessions.
Did he desire the favored concubine system?
It didn’t matter. In any case, she had to take action now. She was just afraid that Zhao Xu would lose his sanity from lust.
“Your Majesty…” Qiu Ling called out to Ning Shu, who was fast asleep in her bed.
Ning Shu opened her eyes, “What’s wrong?”
“There was an accident in the Jade Court,” Qiu Ling said.
“What time is it right now?” Ning Shu lifted her quilt and stood up.
“Midnight.”
She had to see what happened. Why was there even an accident at the Jade Court in the middle of the night? The night was for sleeping. If they wanted to play at staying up all night, then they could look forward to an early sudden death.
