Du Shuo stood in front of Gu Jiangli, looking worried. "Your Majesty, although we managed to protect these palace maids and eunuchs today, it's hard to say what will happen in the future. They didn't succeed today, but they will definitely become even more ruthless in the future."
Gu Jiangli also understood the reason for Du Shuo's anxiety.
She asked, "Which palace's concubine came to bully people today?"
"Your Majesty, it is Consort Rou and Consort Rong."

“The Empress has scared them so much that they won’t dare to come back,” Lotus joked.
The room was filled with laughter, creating a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.
