Zhao Junyao listened, a faint smile playing on the corners of his lips.
"Qingqing, don't worry about these matters. I have everything under control!"
Xia Ruqing looked at him, somewhat puzzled by his words.
But she didn't dare to ask further, so she simply bit her lip and obediently nodded.
"Yes!"
Afterward, she poured another cup of tea for the Emperor.
Once Zhao Junyao finished drinking, she personally took the empty cup from him.
Then, she personally attended to Zhao Junyao as he washed up and went to bed.
Throughout the entire process, she was extremely careful and silent, her obedience heart-wrenching.
Zhao Junyao chuckled inwardly at her.
What is this silly girl thinking? Even if her brother were truly an irredeemable scoundrel, he could easily turn a blind eye and spare his life.
With that thought, Zhao Junyao stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his embrace.
"It's getting late. We can talk about whatever it is tomorrow! Qingqing, let's sleep!"
"Mhm!"
