Unable to go up or down, it was extremely uncomfortable.

Emperor Tai'an had already discerned Empress Su's intentions, and the corner of his mustache twitched slightly.

Woman, if you're going to pretend, then pretend for me.

The harem is full of nothing but hypocrisy.

Emperor Tai'an had already taken it all in stride.

Unlike his first wife, Empress Liu, who was genuine and extremely genuine, she never pretended for him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Empress Su quickly sat up.

"Why did you bring Princess Shengping along?"

"Your Majesty, I am still ill. Be careful not to let the illness get worse."

Empress Su spoke cautiously, her gaze involuntarily glancing at Shi Yu.

This little baby is acting very strangely; don't turn around and ruin her plans.

Emperor Tai'an glanced around the room and saw that incense was indeed burning.

He spoke slowly with a forced smile.

"Empress Su, why are you burning incense when you are ill?"

"It's bad for your health, let's move it."

Empress Su's expression stiffened slightly, but she still spoke respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Then the palace servants stepped forward and removed the items.

Emperor Tai'an then stepped forward and sat down on the stool opposite Empress Su.

"Yu Yu, come here." Emperor Tai'an beckoned to Shi Yu.

"Empress Su is ill and probably doesn't have much of an appetite."

"You're in luck! Help yourself to whatever you like."

Emperor Tai'an personally carried Shi Yu to the stool.

Shi Yu's eyes sparkled with joy.

The light in their eyes shone even brighter as they picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.

"Okay, delicious," she said, though her speech was a little unclear.

Empress Su's eyes showed a slight surprise.

“Princess Shengping can speak now.”

Shi Yu rolled her eyes at Empress Su during a break from eating.

[I'm almost 8 months pregnant, is it strange that I can talk?]

[You've had a child, so why are you pretending to be innocent?]

Empress Su's face stiffened, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance appearing in her eyes.

This little guy is really going after her, so sharp-tongued.
