Su Qiao steadied herself by holding his arm and turned to look at him. "Little Yu?"
"It seems I haven't seen you much lately. Where have you been?"
The man stared at the hand resting on his arm, his expression darkening slightly. "This servant has been ill lately. I was afraid of passing the illness to you, so I didn't dare approach."
After a pause, he turned and glanced at Nanny Bai, advising her, "Her Highness is carrying a child now, so she must be careful. The wind is strong outside. It would be better for her to put on a cloak."
Nanny Bai understood and walked over, preparing to drape the cloak over the Empress. Jin Canghan took it from her directly, carefully wrapped it around Su Qiao, and tied the ribbons at her collar.
Nanny Bai found it surprising, but said nothing.
Little Yu had been sent by the Grand Tutor to protect the Empress and the child in her belly. It was only right for him to be attentive.
444 watched the man's every considerate action and nearly laughed itself to death.
Haha, he's not even calling her the Empress anymore. He's actually calling her "Master." Jin Canghan is really something.
Earlier, because the host had called Jin Moli "Brother Li," he had drunk a whole vat of vinegar and thrown a tremendous tantrum.
Now, he probably refused to call her "the Empress" because he wouldn't acknowledge that the host was Jin Moli's consort.
"You're quite good at caring for people." Su Qiao's lips curved almost imperceptibly, amusement in her eyes.
Jin Canghan felt somewhat uncomfortable under her gaze and lowered his head. "Caring for you is this servant's duty."
"Duty?"
"Yes. Not bad. It seems you're quite loyal to me, unlike everyone else in this courtyard.
