A moment after Yan Chou left Jin'an Hall, the palace maid ran in sweating profusely, holding a bronze vessel in her arms and guarding it carefully.

As she approached the cave, her footsteps became much softer and she whispered: "Queen, my servants heard that the imperial doctor had already arrived, so they turned back the way they came."

The woman covered by gauze slowly sat up, gave a faint 'hmm', opened the curtain with her green-white fingertips, looked at the palace maid and said: "After boiling the dew you took today to make tea, come with me to the birthday banquet.

.”

The palace maid was stunned, looked at Xie Shizhu's calf wrapped in fine cloth, and tried to dissuade her: "Your Majesty, your leg is injured."

Xie Shizhu smiled, his bright features shining brightly, "It's okay, just make some tea and help me over."

"……yes."

While the palace maid was making tea, the system curiously asked: [Host, what else are you doing? The empress dowager herself doesn’t like the original owner. 】

Xie Shizhu sat by the couch and straightened his messy hair, "She doesn't like me, so I have to go over and disgust her. Of course I go to fulfill my agreement with the regent."

System:【Huh?】

After a while, Xie Shizhu and two palace maids went to the birthday banquet.

The Empress Dowager was frowning, tapping her fingers impatiently on the wooden table while playing music. Several maids standing behind her knelt on the ground, pressing the Empress Dowager's shoulders.

Yan Chou closed his eyes to rest, his mind was full of thoughts that Xie Shizhu had not eloped with Yan Xiuran at the south gate, disturbing his thoughts.

The Empress Dowager endured it for a long time, and finally she couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I understand that you dote on the Queen, but the harem has always been so empty.

The Lord, however, has not appeared for a long time.”

Yan Qiu slowly opened his eyelids, and the Empress Dowager continued: "The daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs has also reached the age of marriage, why not wait in a few days..."

Just in the middle of speaking, the eunuch's sharp voice reached everyone's ears: "The Queen is here to wish the Queen Mother a birthday."

In an instant, everyone's eyes glanced at a thin woman in green clothes.

The woman was supported by the palace maid beside her, and it seemed that she had difficulty walking with her right leg. It took her a long time to stand in front of the Queen Mother.

The sun shrouded her head, and her dark hair was coated with a layer of golden light. Her face was pale, her eyes seemed to contain thousands of amorous feelings, filled with spring water, and her red lips were charming.

Most of the people present had met the Queen several times, but they were still shocked by the woman's appearance when they met again.

Yan Chou stood up abruptly, lowered his head and glanced at her legs, frowning slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with her coming here.

Xie Shizhu bowed his head and saluted, "I am late, I hope the Queen Mother will understand. This is the tea I made from dew in the imperial garden. This is Cang Yue's etiquette. I wish the Queen Mother a longevity as long as Nanshan."

The words that the Empress Dowager wanted to teach Xie Shizhu a lesson were stuck in her throat, and she snorted coldly in her heart, Cang Yue? She is nothing but a ruined country.

But she smiled hypocritically and said, "The Queen is determined."

Immediately, the maid knelt in front of the case and poured tea into the Queen Mother's tea cup.

But the Queen Mother just glanced at it and had no intention of drinking.

Yan Chou stared at Xie Shizhu closely and saw that she kept lowering her waist, but the Empress Dowager had no intention of getting her up. He felt a little unhappy and said coldly: "Empress Dowager, the Empress hurt her leg in the Imperial Garden to get dew.

I'm sorry, please don't waste the Queen's love."

The smile on the Queen Mother's lips froze. After a long while, she picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The sour and astringent tea almost made her lose her composure and spit it out, but she swallowed it anyway.

Under Yan Chou's gaze, the Empress Dowager gave a fake smile and said: "Reward."

Xie Shizhu quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager motioned for Xie Shizhu to take a seat. With difficulty, she was helped by the palace maid to Yan Chou. In front of everyone, Yan Chou hooked her waist and took her from the palace maid's hand.

After sitting down together, Yan Chou pulled her towards him, approached Xie Shizhu's ear and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xie Shizhu was calmer than usual and did not try to break away from his arms. He whispered: "I am the emperor's concubine. If you don't come, it will cause dissatisfaction to others."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qiu's dark pupils flashed with surprise, and the fingers on her waist trembled slightly.

This was the first time Xie Shizhu thought about him.

Yan Qiu's heart was in a state of ups and downs.

After the birthday banquet, Xie Shizhu was supported by two palace maids and headed to Jin'an Palace. The sky was already dark, and Yan Chou was forced to stay. He could only watch Xie Shizhu getting further and further away from his sight.

Immediately, Yan Chou glanced at Fuyun beside him.

Fuyun understood the meaning and followed Xie Shizhu lightly. When he saw that Xie Shizhu was about to arrive at Jin'an Hall, Fuyun was about to turn around and report to Yan Chou when he saw a purple brocade robe appearing next to Xie Shizhu.

He was startled and hurriedly hid behind a tree, spying on their every move.

*

Yan Xiuran walked up to Xie Shizhu, looked around cautiously, and breathed a sigh of relief when he found no one there.

Xie Shizhu sent away the two maids. When they left, she looked apologetic and whispered softly: "Xiuran, today I wanted to offer tea to the Queen Mother and then go to the south gate, but I fell from the tree and my leg

Injured..."

Yan Xiuran said considerately: "It's okay, are your legs okay?"

Xie Shizhu nodded his head and smiled softly. His eyes were bright and his teeth were white, his skin was white and translucent, and the smile on his lips was heart-wrenching.

This made Yan Xiuran want to take Xie Shizhu away immediately.

Yan Xiuran put his hands behind his back, clasping them tightly, restraining his emotions, and said: "It's okay that you didn't come. Yan Chou came to the south gate for some reason. We escaped a disaster. I'll wait for you to recover from your injuries."

Think of a way."

Xie Shizhu's eyes were a little wet and she bit her lip, as if thinking of the pain Yan Chou had caused her, she softly said the word 'good'.

Suddenly, the two of them caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure not far away. The eunuch next to him was holding a lantern, and the light was dim and unclear.

Yan Xiuran patted her shoulder and took a deep breath: "I will definitely take you away."

After saying these words, Yan Xiuran turned around and left.

Staring at his back, Xie Shizhu sneered.

Tsk.

He seemed to be an affectionate and warm man, but he walked away, always leaving a mess for Xie Shizhu.

Fuyun quickly walked out of the darkness, followed Yan Chou, and reported everything he saw to him in a low voice.

Yan Chou's face flickered between bright and dark, and although his expression could not be seen clearly, Xie Shizhu could still distinguish the sinister look on his body.

In a moment, Yan Chou came to Xie Shizhu's eyes, his scarlet eyes filled with terrifying anger. The next second, without giving Xie Shizhu a chance to react, Yan Chou directly wrapped his long arms tightly around her waist and lifted her up.

He resisted her thin figure and stepped into the palace.

The young eunuch outside the palace was stunned for a long time. When he was about to follow, he was stopped by Fuyun.
