She was always worried that Li Shushu would notice something. After all, before she entered the palace, although the Fifth Concubine was a little weak, she was still much stronger than she is now.

Although they had threatened her in various ways before letting her out to see Li Shushu, they were still a little worried that she would be exposed.

"Yes, yes," the eldest lady chimed in, "Fifth Aunt is in poor health and shouldn't stand for long periods of time or be exposed to the wind. If you're done, why not have someone help her back to her room first?"

Li Shushu was reluctant to leave.

She wanted to ask the emperor if he could take her back to the palace right now.

But she knew that her request was a bit beyond the limit.

After all, her enthronement ceremony hasn't even taken place yet, and now he's bringing his young wife to live with him in the palace. Isn't that a bit too much of a spoiled brat?

There are so many concubines in the palace. If they were all like her, wouldn’t it be a mess?

It seems that she still cannot act too hastily. She has to be patient and think of a good way to bring her daughter to her side legitimately.

Gu Jingyan stroked the jade ring, looked at the mother and daughter, and then glanced at the eldest lady and the maid beside her.

Thoughtful.

Since the mother and daughter missed each other so much, he had thought about asking Li Shushu to bring her daughter back to the palace.

However, judging from her words and actions, it seems that she has something to hide.

Perhaps she had some secret or difficulty that she didn't want Li Shushu to discover?

If she entered the palace, it would be helpful to Shu'er's mood and pregnancy, and everyone would be happy.

But if this affects Shu'er's mood...

That would be a waste of time.

Otherwise, I should go back and find the secret guard who protects her to find out the situation first.

Anyway, with someone protecting her, her personal safety is guaranteed for the time being.

Before, he did arrange for people to protect her, but he rarely asked about it.

It seems that this time it is not just about protection, they also have to investigate some things.

Everyone had their own thoughts in mind, but no one said them out loud.

Li Shushu hugged her little mother from behind, lowered her voice, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, little mother, the Emperor will soon make his daughter a noble concubine.

Besides, my daughter is pregnant with His Majesty's child. When I return to the palace this time and after the ceremony of conferring the title of Consort, I will immediately ask His Majesty to take you to live with me in the palace. What do you think?"

The young lady nodded with her back to her. There was moisture in the corner of her eyes, but she didn't dare let her see it. She just patted the back of her hand with her thin hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not anxious. As long as Shushu lives a good life, I can rest in peace even if I die."

Li Shushu frowned, "Girl, what are you talking about? It's unlucky! Pah!

Just wait, your daughter will take you to the palace to enjoy a good life soon. I mean what I say.

During this period of time, you must take good care of yourself and wait for my good news, understand?"

The girl nodded, "Okay, I understand... I'll wait.

It was getting late, and I suddenly felt... a little tired, so I went back first.

Shushu..., please come back earlier."

"Well... okay." Under her repeated urging, Li Shushu had no choice but to look back every few steps and got on the carriage reluctantly.

She watched the young lady, supported by the nanny, slowly walk into the gate of the prime minister's residence.

Then, he reluctantly lowered the curtain.

How could a woman as thin as me, who looks like she has difficulty even breathing, possibly have an affair?

In her previous life, the eldest lady and her companions not only dug out her eyes, but also wanted to put her in a pig cage!

When she thought of the tragic experiences she had in her previous life, she couldn't help but want to cry loudly, but the Emperor was sitting opposite her, so she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

She tried her best to endure it, but it was very difficult, so her shoulders were shaking violently.

Gu Jingyan was distressed when he saw this, so he could only gently embrace her, kiss her forehead, and pat her back to comfort her, "Don't worry, Shu'er, I will bring your little wife back to the palace as soon as possible to live with you."

Upon hearing this, Li Shushu stared at him blankly, tears welling up in her eyes, but she nodded vigorously: It seemed that she would never be able to solve some of the doubts from her previous life in this life.

But fortunately, in this life, she has fought, and her fate is different. Mother, she will definitely be able to save her from the sea of suffering.

At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had firmly chosen His Majesty...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but stretch out her arms and hug his waist and back, her arms tightening more and more, as if she was afraid that if she was not careful, something would be lost in her arms.

Feel the strength of her arms and her dependence on herself.

Gu Jingyan, who had been accompanying her with some sadness and worry, somehow felt inexplicably happy. The corners of his lips curled up in a smile that he couldn't suppress no matter how hard he tried...

Perhaps, this is the damn vanity of men!

After returning to the palace, the emperor immediately appointed Li Shushu as Consort Shu and granted her the title of Imperial Concubine Shu and the title of Princess Shu, and granted her the residence in the Jade Palace.

"Shu" sounds the same as "Shu", which means to stretch, comfort and ease. He knew that she had lived a depressed life for the past ten years, and hoped that from now on, she could live as freely and carefree as her title, and he would do his best to protect her.

At the same time, he ordered the secret guards to investigate the specific situation of Li Shushu's mother, Xie, as quickly as possible in order to resolve her worries.

Soon, the secret guard brought news.

But the news is not optimistic.

It turns out that there was a reason why Xie was so anxious to send them back to the palace that day.

When she was young, she was bullied by the eldest lady and forced to have abortions several times, and her body was weak.

The situation has become even worse since Li Shushu entered the palace as Li Xiaodie's slave.
