Emperor Xiao Ping's brows were gloomy, and he turned to look at Su Wanti who was crying softly.

Concubine Li was so excited that her body was shaking, her eyes sparkling with a smug red light. She clenched the palms of her hands tightly, afraid that she would scream.

She watched as Emperor Xiao Ping approached Su Wanti with a cold expression on his face. She watched as Emperor Xiao Ping pursed his thin lips, his coldness chilling her heart. She saw Emperor Xiao Ping slowly extend his hand—

The emperor is going to beat her! The emperor will definitely slap this little bitch to death!

Concubine Li was screaming in her heart. She felt that the emperor would never favor Su Wanti again.

Right now, the emperor will slap the bitch Su Wanti hard!

However, the scene before her disappointed Concubine Li. She opened her eyes wide and shook her head fiercely. She said she couldn't believe anything.

Emperor, what is he doing?

Emperor Xiao Ping did not slap Su Wanti, but gently took her into his arms and comforted her softly.

At this moment, his expression also became relaxed, his eyebrows slightly drooped, and he looked very gentle.

Concubine Li was shocked. She pointed at the emperor and Su Wanti and screamed in horror, "What's going on? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you still protecting her? She's using witchcraft to curse you!"

Her voice was sharp and piercing, full of resentment, and the person in Emperor Xiao Ping's arms couldn't help but tremble.

Emperor Xiao Ping felt very distressed. He touched the furry head of the person in his arms and comforted her with a few gentle words before turning to look at Concubine Li.

His eyes were as cold as ice, which made Concubine Li shudder and feel fear.

"Concubine Li, do you think you are very smart? Or do you think I am a fool who can be easily deceived?" Emperor Xiao Ping's voice was heavy and clear.

The pressure was so severe that Concubine Li couldn't breathe.

Concubine Li touched her chest, feeling a little guilty, but she still forced herself to remain calm.

She steeled herself, tears streaming down her face as she pretended to be heartbroken. "I'm afraid the Emperor has been bewitched by this enchanting concubine. There's evidence everywhere, and you don't believe it?"

Hearing this, Emperor Xiao Ping snorted coldly and threw the puppet directly at Concubine Li. Then he said coldly: "Xiao Dezi, bring them up."

Concubine Li was startled. She looked towards the door and saw Eunuch De coming with a group of people, and the leader was actually her confidant!

Emperor Xiao Ping pointed at these people and said to Concubine Li who was slumped on the ground:

"I don't need to tell you who they are! I already know what you did. I didn't punish you because I was giving you a chance to mend your ways, for the sake of your mother's family and the Queen Mother. Now, you insist on harming others, so I won't show any mercy."

"Concubine Li is imprisoned in Changmen Palace. The palace maids involved in this incident will be sent to the Ministry of Punishment for strict interrogation."

Emperor Xiao Ping no longer looked at Concubine Li and only cared about comforting Su Wanti.

After Concubine Li was dragged away crying, the Queen also stood up. She seemed to have come here just to watch a play, and now that the play was over, it was time for her to leave.

The Empress bowed respectfully to Emperor Xiao Ping and said, "Your Majesty, please let me know how to deal with Concubine Li and the others. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Emperor Xiao Ping seemed accustomed to the Empress's attitude. He said, "Empress, there are too many concubines in the harem now. I want to make some adjustments and reduce some of them. How should I do this? Please give me a plan."

The emperor didn't even raise his eyes, "When will the emperor ask for specific measures?"

"Just ten days later!" Emperor Xiao Ping said, touching his chin.

"Hiss—" The Queen gasped, her eyes showing a hint of emotion. "Alright, in ten days I will draft a detailed plan for reducing the number of concubines in the harem and present it to Your Majesty."

The queen left, but when Su Wanti looked at her back as she left, she always felt that she seemed to have a hint of resentment.

Hey! I remembered!

Su Wanti finally remembered,

The way the emperor and empress communicated was no different from the way the emperor communicated with his court officials.

Before, when Su Wanti accompanied Emperor Xiao Ping in the Qinzheng Palace, she had seen him discussing state affairs with court officials. Just like his conversations with the empress, there was a clear distinction between superiors and subordinates, and official business was handled impartially without a single word of nonsense.

Su Wanti finally understood.

So that's why. No wonder the Queen has no opinion about her favorite concubine!

It turned out that the queen only regarded managing the harem as her job and regarded "queen" as just a position, not the wife of Emperor Xiao Ping.

Su Wanti was very happy to find this.

This means that the queen, who has the highest power and position in the harem, is not her enemy.

The side hall of Yaoguang Palace needed to be renovated, and the coming and going of people would inevitably affect the use of the main hall, so Emperor Xiao Ping and Su Wanti moved into the Qinzheng Palace.

It was late at night and the two of them were lying in bed.

Su Wanti's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at the person on her body and sobbed, "Your Majesty, please let Wan'er go——"

Recently, Emperor Xiao Ping got a bad idea from somewhere.

He would not continue until Su Wanti cried.

"I want you to tell me in person, what do you want?" Emperor Xiao Ping's voice was hoarse, and his eyes were about to spit fire.

Su Wanti was tortured to the point of no return. She blushed and whispered, "Your Majesty—"

On the bright yellow dragon bed, two slender white legs, with toes raised,

In the dark and confined space, the heat is scorching.

Hot sweat dripped down, and charming peach blossoms bloomed on the pink and white skin.

After a passionate sex, the two of them lay down in each other's arms.

Emperor Xiao Ping gently stroked Su Wanti's smooth shoulders, feeling satisfied.

At the banquet today, he saw the looks from the Marquis of Ji'an and his son.

At that time, he wanted to gouge out the eyes of those two people.

However, in addition to the father and son of the Marquis of Ji'an, there were several other men who also kept staring at Su Wanti.

This made him very dissatisfied.

Because of his possessiveness towards Su Wanti, he kept asking her what she wanted tonight, tormenting her for a long time -

Emperor Xiao Ping was thinking about this matter, while Su Wanti was thinking about Concubine Li.

It was with the help of the system that she was able to fully understand all of Concubine Li's actions, and Emperor Xiao Ping seemed to know earlier, more, and more comprehensively than her.

This shows that Emperor Xiao Ping has always sent people to protect her and cares about her safety, which also proves that his previous promise is reliable.

Su Wanti raised her head slightly, her face flushed slightly as the afterglow of the emotion still lingered. "Your Majesty, have you known about Concubine Li's affairs for a long time?"

Emperor Xiao Ping chuckled and scratched the tip of her nose.

"You little fool, someone has planted something in the palace, and you didn't even know it. But you don't have to think about it anymore. I hope you will always be worry-free. I will block any conspiracy or plot in the harem for you."

"I said I would protect you forever, and I will do it."

Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes were full of tenderness as he hugged her and kissed her gently.

Su Wanti's heart gradually sank into the warm lake. She sighed softly and was moved.

"92, give me a pill to give birth to a girl."

She decided to have a daughter first.
