Bai Li was speechless.
After a long pause, he clutched his sleeve and whispered, "Don't tell the Emperor, otherwise..."
Otherwise what? She didn't say.
But Wang Houde understood.
Otherwise, the Empress's performance would have been a waste of effort.
"Tell me, where did you find the Empress just now?"

She had never seen him wear a white robe before. He was dressed in white now, so he must still be wearing mourning clothes for the Empress Dowager.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but slow her pace.
But at that moment, Gu Huaijin, who was lying outside, saw her, grinned, and made some babbling sounds.
