"Get up quickly, you've frightened Miss Xue Liu. What could possibly go wrong? Do you think Lord Ju is such a petty person?" Eunuch Du quickly scolded them a few words with a smile on his face, eager to please. He knew that his own position had also depended on the Empress's favor.
"Eunuch Du, you're just in time. The Empress sent me to deliver something, and giving it to you is just as well." Seeing his reaction, Xue Liu handed over what she was carrying to Eunuch Du.
"Ah, ah, good—" Eunuch Du promptly agreed and took the item.
