Su Mu burst out in laughter and said to Xue'er, "Xue'er, it's all my fault. You've worked hard tonight. You can go and rest. I'm going to bed too."

If Su Mu didn't rest, Xue'er would have to wait here. At this moment, although Su Mu said that she was going to rest, she didn't move from her seat at the table.

Xue'er naturally did not dare to go to rest. She could only constantly say, "Your servant isn't sleeping. Your servant's energy is still fine."

Su Mu shook her head helplessly and walked into her bedroom. After seeing Su Mu enter, Xue'er patted her chest in relief. She thought to herself, "I can finally sleep now. Today, she really must have had a bad luck."

On the second day, Su Mu naturally woke up rather late. That was because the night before, she had stayed up to make the scented sachet. She was elated. Unexpectedly, she also ate an extra two bowls of breakfast.

When Lu Qi and Xue'er saw Su Mu's appearance, they looked at each other and were filled with joy. It had been a long time since Huaifei had eaten properly, so she was worried about this matter …

At this moment, Lu Qi said, "Empress, Little Yongzi just sent a message that the emperor is coming to our palace tonight!"

"Really?" Su Mu's eyes flashed with stars. She looked at Lu Qi, then took out the scented sachet and brought it to her nose to smell it. She thought that this scented sachet could be her gift to Lin Yi …

She and Lin Yi hadn't gotten along well in the past few days, and this could be considered as something to curry favor with Lin Yi.

She had been waiting for the night to pass the scented sachet to Lin Yi, but by the time night fell, the sky had already turned dark, and the sun had already quietly climbed down from the mountain peak. Still, not waiting for Lin Yi to come over, Su Mu was a little worried as she stood in the main hall, unwilling to go to the bedroom to rest.

After a while, Lin Yi's pampering voice could finally be heard, and he said to Su Mu, "Huifei, why aren't you resting yet? "You really make me worry. I had originally thought that I would have to busy myself with national affairs today, so for the time being, I didn't think that you'd be here!"

When Su Mu saw Lin Yi, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, you've finally come?"

Su Mu didn't wait for Lin Yi to reply. She stood up and handed the scented sachet in her hand to Lin Yi, saying, "Your majesty, this scented sachet was personally made by chenqie. I wonder if you like it?"

Su Mu didn't tell Lin Yi about the Spirit Calming Grass inside the sachet. She didn't want Lin Yi to be grateful towards her for such a thing. She wanted their relationship to be pure and not be affected by these mundane things.

Lin Yi placed the scented sachet at the tip of his nose and smelled it carefully before saying, "As long as Mu Er gives it to me, I will like it …"

He held Su Mu's shoulder gently with one hand and the two of them returned to the bedroom intimately. Lu Qi and Xue Er smiled at each other and left.

At this time, Lu Qi said to Xue'er, "Xue'er, I want to ask you a question. Answer me truthfully."

This Snow was confused. In the past, Lu Qi was a very serious person, rarely interacting with these little palace maids.

Xue'er thought to herself and the other court ladies, 'This Lu Qi came from the side of the empress dowager, so it's natural that she wouldn't like these young court ladies. Therefore, Xue'er rarely has a good conversation with her.

Poor Xue'er, how could she not answer?

He heard Snow say, "Aunt Lu Qi, what's wrong? What happened? "

"I want to ask you, do you recognize that little eunuch who came today to deliver medicine to Su Mu?"

Xue'er had seen the young eunuch before. He was good-looking and not very tall, just like a beautiful child. If he wasn't already a eunuch, Xue'er would have suspected that he was a woman in disguise.

Xue'er nodded her head. "I know him. A few days ago, he had already arrived at the imperial kitchens. Several times, when I was in the imperial kitchens brewing medicine for the Empress, I met him. He should be considered quite obedient, right? What's the matter?" What happened? "

Hearing Xue'er's words, Lu Qi became visibly more relieved. She then said to her, "This is good. Perhaps I am overthinking things. You should guard the entrance of the hall today."

After the two of them parted ways, only Xue'er remained outside the Dusk Hall. This rule had been set up to prevent the emperor and his concubines from needing these eunuchs and maidservants to serve them, and the person standing next to Xue'er was the nearest and most favored steward of the palace — Little Yongzi.

Little Yong had always liked a young and beautiful girl like Xue'er. Even though he couldn't speak humanly anymore, he had a wretched thought in his heart …

He walked forward and stroked Xue'er's hair with his hand as he said to her, "Xue'er, I have never realized before that you are actually this beautiful. Your skin is truly exquisite, and I remember that you have grown quite a bit in these past two years. When I first met you, you were still a little girl!"

Everyone could hide from him, but Xue'er could not hide from him now. He could only move towards the wall a few times, then said to him, "Eunuch Yong, please don't do this!"

Xue'er was almost scared to death, her face was pale, and she looked like she was about to fall down at any moment. Suddenly, she felt very bored, and whispered into her ear, "Why are you so scared, it's not like I can eat you. Alright, alright, hurry up and get up."

Xue'er let out a sigh of relief when she found some distance between them. She thought to herself, No wonder every time the emperor comes over, the palace maids don't want to value this class. It's because they're not afraid of the emperor, but the person in front of them …

Yesterday night, he didn't need to feel the pain of sleeplessness anymore. He looked at Su Mu and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek. Su Mu was originally five months pregnant, so her sleep quality wasn't very good. Now that he was disturbed by Lin Yi, she naturally woke up.

She sleepily asked, "Your Majesty, how did you feel last night? Are you still sleeping? "

Lin Yi smiled at her and said, "Rest assured, I have completely recovered from my insomnia."
