But before she could think too much, things turned out to be beyond her expectations.
After the emperor left court, he went straight to the Shuyu Palace.
At that time, she was already dressed in a neatly-fitted palace maid's uniform, enduring the aches and pains that felt like her entire body was falling apart, and was serving tea and water to Li Xiaodie, massaging her legs and shoulders.
As the eunuch Li Dehai beside the emperor shouted in a shrill voice, "The emperor has arrived," someone strode in from the gate of Shuyu Palace.
When Li Shushu came back, she forgot to tell her that the Emperor would have breakfast with her after the court session.

After everyone else had left, he finally spoke: "You don't look well. Why don't you get some more sleep?"
Last night I clearly saw that her complexion was very fair, rosy and she looked very healthy. But now, although she was wearing makeup, she seemed a little haggard.
