She frowned slightly and looked at Kang Yu, and Kang Yu just stared at her. They looked at each other and understood what the other meant.

Then, he collected his thoughts and continued on his duty.

After Su Wanti was washed and combed by the four palace maids, she was taken away to dress up. These four palace maids had been serving in the Ganxiao Palace and knew the emperor's preferences very well.

Several people picked out brocade clothes as brilliant as clouds and dazzling pearls as jewelry, dressing Su Wanti up extremely luxuriously. In addition, Su Wanti herself was beautiful and charming, and with this outfit, she was even more beautiful than the most beautiful concubine in the harem.

Even Leng Hong, who had seen many beauties, had a flash of surprise in his eyes when he first saw Su Wanti.

This little palace maid is so pretty, no wonder the imperial concubine wants to kill her, Leng Hong thought to himself.

He looked at the newly dressed little palace maid and nodded:

"Very good, let's dress her like this from now on. Okay, all of you, please leave."

The palace maids left, and only Leng Hong and Su Wanti were left in the hall.

The nights in early winter are so cold that people shiver.

Kang Yu and Hai'e were on duty in the first half of the night. They were dressed warmly and guarded the door of the inner hall.

"Looking at the Emperor's expression today, is he angry with the Empress Dowager again?"

Hai'e glanced at the inner hall, moved closer to Kang Yu, and whispered.

Kang Yu looked around cautiously and said with his head down:

"Alas! Mother and son have the same temper. It depends on who gives in first."

"I think the person brought back today is not ordinary. This is the first time that the emperor cares about someone. Seeing that they were too heavy-handed, the emperor even ordered them to be gentler." Hai'e said in a low voice.

Kang Yu shrank his neck and shook his head, "It depends on whether she can sleep with me."

He pointed to the silent inner hall and said, "I don't think this guy has any hope."
