The palace maids all retreated, everyone thinking that the Emperor couldn't severely punish Du Zhongshu, leaving Jiang Yichun and his wife feeling resentment. The Emperor could only privately console them.
Even Wang Shun thought being the Emperor wasn't easy, with so much to worry about.
Once everyone had left, Tang Yin took off his mask, exposing the pain and helplessness in his heart.
"What's really going on?" he asked impatiently.
Bai Ruozhu glanced around and asked, "Are there any Shadow Guards here? Including Lv?"
"Do you think Lv is a problem?" Tang Yin's heart tightened.
Bai Ruozhu hastily shook her head, "I don't know who has a problem; otherwise, I wouldn't need to be this cautious. But for now, I can only tell you, or I'm afraid the other party will become desperate and directly harm Xinxin."
Tang Yin's eyes reddened slightly, "Do you think Xinxin can't be cured?"
