Only Xiao Ye listened silently, but thought to himself: That’s not necessarily true?
As they were discussing their own thoughts, a message came from outside, "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Several people hurriedly lowered their voices and went to greet them.
Gu Jingyan walked into the hall with his long legs, and hurriedly helped Li Xiaodie up and said, "My beloved concubine, you have suffered a lot before. No need to be so polite."
