Tonight, Yan Qiu's actions were particularly gentle. Before, he had to say some harsh words before Xie Shizhu would obey him as he wished.

However, at this moment Xie Shizhu seemed to be sinking with him just like him.

However, she held back and remained silent.

Yan Chou was still a little sober in the face of lust, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

As for the reason, both of them knew it well.

Yan Qiu's eyes flashed with interest, and he deliberately used a little force. Xie Shizhu was startled and let out an uncontrollable squeak.

Xie Shizhu's face was extremely red, and he stared at Yan Chou angrily.

Yan Qiu's lips curled up slightly and he kissed her forehead.

Yan Xiuran opened his eyes wide, and occasionally heard some sounds in his ears. His face turned pale, he held a corner of the quilt and covered his head angrily.

Immediately, unwillingness and hatred burst out from his eyes.

Obviously all this belongs to him, but Yan Chou has taken it all for himself, so he must find a way to get everything back.

The next morning.

Yan Chou opened his eyes. He turned his head and looked at the woman lying next to him. Xie Shizhu's ink hair was slightly messy, and some of it fell on his chest.

The woman's body was covered with traces of last night's topsy-turvy sleep. Her sleeping face was peaceful and beautiful, her eyelashes drooped leaving a shadow on her eyelids, and her red lips were slightly swollen.

Yan Qiu's Adam's apple tightened, and he raised his hand to rub her lips a few times. In order to restrain himself, he stood up and put on his brocade robe, intending to go out for some air.

The sky is slightly bright and a little gloomy, which shows that today is not a good day.

Yan Chou stopped in the courtyard of the Regent's Palace. The servants were already busy. Many servants in the courtyard were cleaning up. When they caught a glimpse of Yan Chou, everyone looked surprised and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Without saying a word, he looked around with his narrow eyes, and finally locked his eyes on a servant he had seen before.

Yan Qiu raised his feet and walked in front of her, looking down at her, his voice colder than the morning weather: "Raise your head."

The middle-aged servant was stunned, and quickly raised his head while saying, "I will join the Emperor."

Yan Chou saw that her face was somewhat similar to that of Liu Nian, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He has never been able to figure out why Liunian betrayed him midway. It turned out that Liunian was not his person from the beginning.

Yan Chou's knuckled hand had moved to the dagger on his waist. The hatred in his eyes was getting deeper and deeper. The woman's voice from last night could be heard faintly in his ears. He took a deep breath and finally let go of his hand.

The servant swallowed, his hands and feet were cold, and he watched helplessly as the sinister look in the young sage's eyes turned into forbearance.

I heard that the emperor kills without blinking an eye, and no matter what the reason is, as long as he is displeased, it may lead to death.

Besides, last time she had the courage to speak in front of the emperor, she considered herself lucky to have survived.

When the servant was worried about his life, Yan Chou slowly turned his back and left her sight.

Yan Chou returned to the house, and just after passing the door of a room, the door inside opened, and Yan Xiuran appeared in front of Yan Chou with a tired look on his face.

Yan Xiuran's haggardness was in sharp contrast to Yan Qiu's. His heart felt sour, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly.

"I will join you, Your Majesty."

Yan Chou glanced at him, ignored him aloofly, passed him directly, and walked into the next door.

As soon as he left, Yan Xiuran's gentle expression was replaced by a sinister look.

Xie Shizhu was getting dressed when she heard the door being opened. She quickly tied on her robe and scanned the face of the passerby. When she found out it was Yan Qiu, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wake up so early?" Yan Chou raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and sat down next to her, "It seems that the Queen's energy is still strong."

Xie Shizhu glanced at him and remained silent.

Thinking of Yan Chou's deliberate actions last night, she became a little angry.

Yan Chou narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "Now that you're awake, it's time to get up and go back to the palace."

"Um."

Xie Shizhu left him, walked a few steps and opened the door, and saw Yan Xiuran looking towards her with something strange in his eyes.

She smiled and said like a stranger: "Prince Regent."

This calm and calm look made Yan Xiuran feel a pain in his chest. He tugged at the corner of his mouth, glanced at the mark on her collarbone, and said in a somewhat sad tone: "Queen, how are you doing recently?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Qiu came out of the room and answered Xie Shizhu's words with a smile but not a smile: "Prince Regent, if you have time to care about my queen, why not take more care of the princess? After all, it won't be long before the queen and I can have a drink.

Your full moon wine.”

The smile on Yan Xiuran's face froze.

Chang Qing was already waiting for them downstairs. He looked up at the people upstairs and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Queen, the sedan chair is ready."

Yan Chou withdrew his gaze from his face, hooked Xie Shizhu's frail waist with one hand, and led Xie Shizhu past him.

Yan Xiuran stared at the two people's backs. Just when he was about to catch up, Fang Yiran called him softly from behind with a big belly.

He was forced to take back his steps.

After getting on the sedan, Yan Chou looked at Xie Shizhu's expression, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

The sedan went smoothly to the palace. Chang Qing said goodbye to the two of them and prepared to return to his home.

With a smile on his lips, Xie Shizhu said softly to Chang Qing's back: "General Chang, slow down on the road."

Chang Qing's back stiffened, and there was a hint of joy on his face. Before he could turn around, he heard Yan Chou's nonchalant tone: "Queen, it's time to enter the palace."

When Chang Qing turned around, he could only see the back of the sedan, and he sighed slightly.

Back in the palace, Yan Chou was busy with official duties and had to let Xie Shizhu go.

When thanking him, the bamboo horse returned to Jin'an Hall without stopping, lay down and went to sleep immediately.

system:【……】

Xie Shizhu sighed: "I can finally sleep peacefully."

Because a lot of memorials had accumulated during the day after leaving the palace, Yan Chou was busy until late at night.

Fuyun had already asked the palace maid to prepare new pajamas and put on the candles that were about to burn out. After Yan Chou rested, he could retreat.

Yan Chou stood up from the case and walked straight outside.

Fuyun was stunned and said quickly: "Your Majesty, aren't you going to bed in the middle of the night?"

Yan Chou paused and left the palace without answering Fuyun's words.

Fuyun sighed and quickly followed. Yan Chou didn't stop until he reached Jin'an Hall.

Fuyun suddenly realized that he had almost forgotten that the emperor couldn't wait for the queen to conceive a child, and he would probably have to work hard all night tonight.

Alas, the emperor is young, so don't tire yourself out.

Yan Qiu glanced sideways at him, Fuyun felt his gaze and hurriedly stopped the smile on his face.

Fuyun dismissed the servants of Jin'an Palace as usual and signaled the eunuch to close the door of Jin'an Palace. He stood alone at the door.

The next day, Yan Chou got up and went to the morning court. After the court, Yan Xiuran was summoned by the eunuch to Ning'an Palace.

As soon as he entered, Ning'an Palace was full of Xihe's ministers. Except for General Chang who was not present, almost all of them were already present.
