"Madam, what are you saying? Your and Princely Heir's lives belong to you. You can take it away whenever you want!"
Su Luo nodded: "Alright, whatever happens today, no matter what you see, do not panic. Remember, you know nothing, you are merely a maid accompanying me to the palace!"
Xiaohei grinned without a care in the world: "Madam, what are you planning to do?"
Su Luo smiled: "I am just worried that Bai Zi and her gang might harm me!"
Xiaohei reined in his smile: "Rest assured, Madam, as long as I still have a breath left in me, I won't let anyone hurt you!"
Word had been disseminated within the palace that amidst the New Year's revelries, everyone could dispense with the formalities and just attend the banquet; there was no need to pay respects at the Empress Dowager's and Empress's palaces.
In the winter, the night falls early. As the day began to darken, Su Luo was already in the Imperial Palace.
The banquet was held in Zhengyang Palace.
