Still feeling deeply embarrassed, Empress Su instructed her personal maidservants to put all the romance novels away. "From now on, none of these are allowed to be left out in the open. Especially when the Emperor is here—he must never, under any circumstances, see them." If she were to suffer such a social death a second time, she reckoned she would truly have no face left to look the Emperor in the eye.
Although the bond between the two of them was somewhat superficial, she still cared deeply about her dignity.
"As you command, Your Majesty."
