At this moment, she hated everything around her more than ever before and felt more pain than ever before. She didn't say anything, but instead hugged the corpse and sobbed loudly.

"Woo... Wu..."

Her voice was so sad that it made people feel distressed.

Guan Ning could understand her complicated feelings, so he didn't say a word, but waited quietly for her crying to stop.

The main hall was empty, lights flickering.

The palace maids and eunuchs had been sent away by Concubine Ya in advance. Time passed by minute by minute, and her crying became softer and softer, and finally she had no tears left to shed.

She was still beautiful even with makeup on, and she held Xiaoqing tightly, refusing to let go.

Guan Ning stepped forward and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, stop crying, I'll take care of the body."

He held out a handkerchief.

Yapin slowly raised her head and took it hesitantly, her beautiful eyes filled with sorrow: "Even though she betrayed me, I don't want her body to be left exposed in the wilderness."

Guan Ning was helpless: "Okay."

Yapin wiped her tears and glanced at Xiaoqing. She didn't know where to begin to express the sorrow and complexity she felt. She held back her tears and slowly let go.

Guan Ning was about to pack up, but suddenly.

"Report!"

"Miss!"

"Empress, Concubine Yu is here, Concubine Yu is here!" The eunuch's voice came from outside the door.

For a moment, Guan Ning was shocked. So fast? The banquet was over so soon?

Concubine Ya's face was even more panicked, and she blurted out subconsciously: "What's wrong, she's here?"

Guan Ning responded quickly: "Wipe your tears, don't be afraid, and relax."

"If I'm not mistaken, Concubine Yu should be here to thank you. I'll take the body to the back first. You just need to receive her calmly. I'll take care of everything."

His voice is magnetic and reassuring.

"Okay..." Concubine Ya gritted her teeth. It was always complicated when facing Guan Ning.

Soon, a woman in gorgeous attire came directly to the main hall, surrounded by the crowd. Compared with Yapin's plain clothes and makeup, she was undoubtedly much more solemn.

She had a five-phoenix golden hairpin in her hair and her long black hair was tied up. She was beautiful, bright and noble. She was supported by someone when she walked, and there was a gold ornament on her little finger, which made her look very grand.

The extremely eye-catching palace dress she was wearing was the brand new palace dress made by Guan Ning and Qin Yao together, the Guangxiou Liuyi.

At this moment, her red lips were filled with uncontrollable joy, and her whole body could not hide a look of refreshment, success and joy. She called out affectionately before the person arrived.

"Sister Ya, are you asleep?"

"Sister is here to beg you for mercy."

When Concubine Ya heard this voice, she knew that Guan Ning's guess was correct.

He quickly led people out and bowed to greet them: "Sister Yu, you are too kind. I am so happy that you are willing to come to my place."

"It's all the fault of the servants at the door. They didn't inform me in advance that Sister Yu was coming. I left in such a hurry." She frowned.

Apart from the collapse caused by her emotional fragility just now, Yapin seemed very generous and strong at this moment.

"Hehehe, I came here suddenly, so don't blame them. You and I are sisters, so there is no need to say anything else." She rarely took the initiative to pull Yapin's hand, which shocked the people in Changshou Palace.

Concubine Yu is an important figure in the harem. This is the first time she is so polite to Concubine Ya!

Imperial Concubine Yu's face was flushed with joy as she smiled and said, "You know what? His Majesty loves the palace dress you gave me. All the civil and military officials, as well as the high officials from all over the country, are amazed by it."

"Furthermore, the poem embroidered on it, 'The Nine Heavens Gates Open the Palace, and People from All Nations Pay Homage to the Crown,' was truly astonishing. The Grand Secretaries and all the highly respected figures in the court all praised this event, saying it was a perfect description of the grandeur of our Great Wu Dynasty."

"Your Majesty is delighted to hear this. Greatly delighted!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

She smiled and said, "This is all because of my sister's gentleness, thoughtfulness, generosity and propriety. All the civil and military officials have seen it, so His Majesty is so happy."

Concubine Yu took her hand and walked into the main hall, her face full of joy.

But Concubine Ya was a little nervous, fearing that Guan Ning would be discovered.

"Sister, if it weren't for your help, how could I possibly have earned His Majesty's favor, become the center of attention in front of Concubine Qian and the others, and become so proud of myself?"
