When Li Shushu got up early in the morning, Emperor Gu Jingyan had already gone to attend the morning court.
The Yangxin Palace was empty, with only two palace maids who were attentively helping her to wash and dress. One of the maids was named Zhen'er and the other was named Zhu'er.
After she finished washing up, Zhen'er told her that when the Emperor got up early and left, he instructed that he would come back to have breakfast with her, but if she was hungry, she could eat some first. She asked her if she wanted to eat first.
Li Shushu touched his stomach and didn't feel hungry, perhaps because he ate too late last night.
She shook her head and said, "Then I'll wait for His Majesty to come back and then we can eat together."
After Zhen'er and Zhu'er had finished dressing her, they left respectfully. For a moment, the silence in the Yangxin Palace returned to the point where one could hear a pin drop.
Li Shushu was bored, so he picked up the travelogue from last night and pretended to read it again.
In fact, at this moment, she couldn't concentrate at all. She just stared at the book, her thoughts drifting away.
Yesterday was really dangerous. When she passed by Shuyu Palace, she deliberately slowed down her pace to attract their attention.
She had originally planned to provoke them, and when they bullied her, if the Emperor happened to run into them, perhaps he would have sympathy?
If His Majesty had already known some of the truth, would he be more sympathetic to her because of the previous incidents?
After all, men have always liked the plot of a hero saving a beauty since ancient times.
There was already some element of gambling involved, but luckily His Majesty actually came and rescued her without hesitation, carrying her all the way back to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
What if he didn't come...
She also thought that if she didn't come, she might just have to suffer more, but on the official road, there should be no danger to her life.
She knew Li Xiaodie and Liu Ma. Although they had evil hearts, they only dared to act secretly. They were always timid in public.
Besides, Nanny Li is taking such good care of her now. If she hasn't returned to Xinzheku by evening, she will naturally send someone to look for her.
She carefully recalled all the details of her encounter with the Emperor yesterday, and secretly gave herself a high score of 80 in her heart.
Judging from His Majesty's behavior yesterday, it was obvious that he had already known about the conspiracy between Li Xiaodie and himself, but he did not blame himself. Instead, he was very gentle and caring towards herself. Does that mean that His Majesty treats her differently from others in his heart?
She thought, maybe there is something different.
After all, His Majesty personally applied the medicine to her yesterday, and his movements were so gentle, which could be considered considerate, and he did not force himself on her that night without considering her feelings!
However, the royal family has always been unfeeling, and the emperor's favor is ever-changing. How can she firmly grasp the heart of the emperor and rescue her first?
After all, the only person she truly cares about and is concerned about in this world is her mother.
Only by rescuing the girl first can she boldly start her revenge plan without any scruples...
Aunt Liu should have been beheaded last night.
What a pity, that old hag harmed her so many times, but died so easily, it was really too easy for her!
As for Li Xiaodie, Madam, and Prime Minister Li... after she rescues her young lady, she will repay them one by one for the pain they inflicted on her in her past life. There's no rush...
"Shu'er, what are you thinking about?"
While I was daydreaming, Gu Jingyan had already returned from the Queen Mother.
He strode into the Yangxin Palace and saw Li Shushu, who had dressed up, leaning on the beauty couch with a book in her hand, looking lost in thought. After a night's rest, her complexion had obviously recovered a lot.
Because it was daytime, Li Shushu did not wear the nightgown she usually wore when she slept with Li Xiaodie, nor did she wear the clothes of an ordinary palace maid.
She only asked Zhen'er and Zhu'er to do the simplest bun for her unmarried girl. She used very few hair accessories, only a few pearl hairpins and the same style of hairpins. As she moved, whether lying or sitting, the pearl tassels also swayed slightly. A simple light crimson gauze skirt outlined her graceful and elegant figure.
What a beautiful picture of a beauty on a couch.
Li Shushu quickly came to her senses upon hearing the sound, and stood up to salute, "Your servant greets His Majesty, may His Majesty be blessed with good fortune."
Gu Jingyan took two steps at a time and walked to her, helped her up, and sat her on the beauty couch. He put his big hand on her waist and held her to sit on his lap.
He did this action as if it was natural, as if no one was around.
It seemed like this was their usual action.
Li Shushu looked around nervously. There were still several palace servants there. Her pretty face flushed instantly. “Long live… Long live…”
"Have you had breakfast?" He ignored her and asked softly in her ear with a smile.
“Not yet, not yet.
"Zhen'er said, 'Let this servant wait for Your Majesty,'" she answered with her head lowered. The hand on her waist was unconsciously stroking her waist repeatedly, making her nervous and itchy, and her body couldn't help but tense up a little.
"Silly, didn't I tell you to eat first if you're hungry?" Gu Jingyan didn't stop what he was doing. He just raised his eyes from staring at her pink neck and ordered, "Hurry up and serve the food."
"Your servant, your servant is not hungry." Li Shushu was a little surprised. In her previous life, the Emperor had never shown such a side of her. During the few times she slept with him, it could be said that he had never made any extra movements.
Why is there such a huge difference in this life?
In a blink of an eye, breakfast was ready. Gu Jingyan stopped teasing her and just stood up with his arms around her and sat down at the dining table.
The breakfast was quite exquisite and rich, with soup dumplings, nine kinds of meatballs, fresh shrimp dumplings, soft and smooth fish porridge, and a variety of side dishes and snacks.
