"Your Majesty," Su Wanti lifted the bed curtain and ran out barefoot, as frightened as a little white rabbit.
Her eyes were wet and full of nervousness, and she had casually thrown on a thin nightgown.
There was no time to tie it, so it hung loosely on her body, unable to cover her exquisite curves and the purple marks.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
The moment she saw Emperor Xiao Ping, the panic and loss in her eyes disappeared, her expression relaxed, and joy was revealed in her voice.
Emperor Xiao Ping's heart softened, and then he was filled with a sense of satisfaction.
Just now, after he got up, he saw Su Wanti was still asleep. Afraid of disturbing her, he only asked the palace maid to light a lamp on the desk, which was enough for him to read.
At this moment, the beauty who moved him looked even more charming and affectionate under the dim light.
His eyes darkened and he waved to Su Wanti, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Aren't you cold? Come here quickly."
Su Wanti walked lightly to the side of Emperor Xiao Ping, her eyes filled with uncontrollable joy.
Emperor Xiao Ping placed his hands on her slender waist, pulled her closer, then lifted her up by her waist and let the soft woman sit astride his thighs.
He liked this posture because it allowed him to see her clearly and not miss any subtle expression.
The woman obediently let him do what he wanted, her eyes full of admiration and trust, as well as a hint of caution.
She whispered, "When I woke up and didn't see Your Majesty, I thought He had left. I was so worried—"
"What are you worried about?" Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes were deep, and his palms were rubbing and twisting restlessly.
The woman under his palm was trembling all over and breathing heavily, but she did not avoid it like before.
She said in a trembling voice, "I am afraid that Your Majesty will not come again after he leaves. I am afraid that Your Majesty will forget me."
She lowered her eyes slightly, the corners of her eyes were red, and the tip of her nose was also red, as if she was holding back tears.
She took a deep breath, as if to give herself courage, and then hooked her slender white arms around the man's neck.
Her eyes were filled with affection, as if rubbed with starlight, and filled with prayer, "Your Majesty, you are the only one I can rely on. Please don't ignore me anymore."
The pink nightgown could not cover her porcelain-white skin. She climbed on the man like a white dodder, delicate and beautiful, making people feel love and pity.
Emperor Xiao Ping hugged the person tightly, with a trace of heartache between his brows, as well as the pleasure of achieving his goal.
He wanted her body, but he wanted her heart even more.
Emperor Xiao Ping had been the emperor for more than ten years, and the art of being an emperor had been ingrained in him, and it was like an instinct for him to manipulate people's hearts.
When he realized that he also had ulterior motives towards Su Wanti, he was shocked, but he hesitated for only a moment before letting his thoughts run wild.
He was twice her age and felt uneasy in her presence.
He was afraid that she was succumbing to her status and being forced by his power.
He was afraid that when she saw the young talent, she would feel resentful and wonder how nice it would be if the person beside her was also so young...
He wanted her to stay by his side willingly, so he used all sorts of tricks to seduce her heart, scare her, and make her dependent on him...
Therefore, he deliberately left Su Wanti in the cold for ten days, letting her experience the warmth and coldness of the harem. When she was bullied and felt weak and helpless, he would stand up and save her from the water.
Make her realize that only if she depends on him wholeheartedly can she live a peaceful and smooth life in the harem.
Now, holding the delicate and soft beauty in my arms, feeling the warmth and softness of her whole body clinging to me,
He got what he wanted.
The heartache in the man's eyes disappeared, replaced by a strong possessiveness and the arrogance of being in control of everything.
He pinched the woman's small chin and forced her to look directly into his eyes.
The dark tide in the eyes wraps people tightly,
His voice was deep and resounding, "Remember, I will protect you for the rest of my life."
Su Wanti's eyes were filled with tears, as if she completely believed the man's promise.
She nodded, then leaned on the man's shoulder, sobbing softly, tears rolling down and wetting the man's clothes.
Su Wanti rested her head on Emperor Xiao Ping's shoulder, her eyes flashing with cunning.
The ten days of neglect made her understand Emperor Xiao Ping's thoughts.
It's just that you want me to be completely dependent on you.
Well,
You want me to be a dodder that wraps around you, so I will fulfill your wish.

After the incident with Lady Qiao, some changes took place in the harem.
This was the first time the emperor interfered in the affairs of the harem. He asked the empress to severely punish the unhealthy practices of jealousy and bullying of newcomers in the harem.
He also sent Eunuch De to investigate Concubine Qiao and those close to her, including the concubines. If any problems were found, they would be expelled from the palace.
After all this trouble, many concubines and palace servants were replaced.
Even some of the concubines' confidants brought into the palace were expelled.
The harem was temporarily quiet.
Now, Emperor Xiao Ping comes to the harem every day, but he only goes to Su Wanti's Yaoguang Palace.
However, Su Wanti's exclusive favor did not improve the Su family's plight.
The case of Earl Su has not been concluded and he is still trapped in another place under investigation. Su Shaoxuan submitted a memorial to the emperor requesting to return to Beijing after two months, but was also rejected by the emperor.
Things in the Su family became complicated.
Fortunately, Su Wanti was in the harem, favored by the emperor, and no one dared to touch her.
Mrs. Su stayed in the Earl's Mansion and rarely went out, and did not encounter any unpleasantness.
Even so, seeing that Su Wanti was the favorite, some concubines in the harem still felt jealous.
They saw the emperor entering and leaving Yaoguang Palace every day, and their teeth were about to break, but they did not dare to embarrass Su Wanti or bully her again. They were afraid of following in the footsteps of Concubine Qiao.
