Xie Shizhu was confused. She was crazy. While she was sleeping, she felt that Song Yan's breath was particularly familiar.

She looked at Song Yan's red eyes and swallowed.

No one dares to green Song Yan when she is green.

Since there is no way to explain it, just pretend to be dead.

Under Song Yan's gaze, Xie Shizhu closed his eyelids and pretended to sleep.

Song Yan stared at her for a long time, and suddenly noticed an unknown blush on the woman's face, her forehead and the tip of her nose were covered with sweat, and her lips were bloodless.

For a moment, Song Yan's mind went blank. He only looked at Xie Shizhu worriedly and put his forehead against the woman's forehead.

The hot touch made his heart skip a beat.

Song Yan immediately summoned the imperial physician to the palace.

After the imperial doctor checked her pulse, it was said that the queen had suffered from cold and had a fever.

After the imperial doctor left, a palace maid came to serve Xie Shizhu, but Song Yan drove him away, leaving him alone in the Shaole Hall.

Song Yan brought a basin of cold water, soaked the sweat towel in the water for a while, took it out, squeezed the water out, and gently covered the woman's forehead with the sweat towel.

After a while, the palace maid brought in the prepared medicine.

Song Yan took it, sat by the couch, picked up a spoon and fed it to the sleeping woman.

After all the hard work, the sky became slightly brighter, and it was time for Song Yan to go to court again.

He stayed up all night and his eyes were blue. Before leaving, he bent down and touched Xie Shizhu's forehead.

Feeling that the fever had subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief, but went to court with some worries.

On the way, Song Yan recalled the man's name in Xie Shizhu's mouth. He frowned slightly and looked unhappy.

It was not until after he went to court that his expression returned to its previous gentleness.

*

After Xie Shizhu woke up, he realized that he was still alive and was excited for a while.

But why is the herbal smell on her so strong?

Xie Shizhu sat up, and a palace maid came in from outside carrying medicine. She saw that she was awake with a smile on her face.

"Queen, you are awake."

Xie Shizhu just wanted to speak, but his throat was dry and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

The palace maid hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you had a fever and slept for three days. The Emperor came here on time every day to give you medicine, and you finally woke up."

After finishing speaking, Xie Shizhu was stunned. She actually slept for three whole days.

The system nodded: [Host, yes, you are not pretending to sleep, but you have really fallen asleep.]

The palace maid hurriedly came to the bedside with the medicine and prepared to give Xie Shizhu the medicine.

Xie Shizhu blocked her movement, coughed and said, "Wait until the emperor comes to feed me."

Hearing this, a look of uneasiness flashed across the palace maid's face.

Xie Shizhu noticed her expression, thought for a while, took the bowl in her hand, endured the bitter taste, and drank the entire bowl of medicine in one breath.

The palace maid hesitated and said, "Today the emperor is choosing a concubine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu felt that the medicine was strangely bitter.

She coughed violently several times, and the bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a bang, breaking into two pieces.

Xie Shizhu frowned slightly, looking down at the porcelain fragments on the ground, his chest felt inexplicably heavy.

Oh, she really believed it. She really thought that Song Yan and her could become an ordinary couple in this world.

Xie Shizhu stretched out a hand towards the palace maid, and said in a calm voice, without making any noise or anger: "Change my clothes for me."

The palace maid was stunned and said: "I have been ordered by the emperor to take care of the queen's body. You cannot go out and have to stay in bed for a few days."

Xie Shizhu sneered in his heart, saying that he was taking care of her body, but actually he didn't want her to go out and cause trouble.

Did Song Yan think she would be as jealous as the late emperor's concubines?

She, Xie Shizhu, has never been a person whose emotions are influenced by her feelings.

Just like before, when he married the prime minister's daughter in the palace, wasn't he sent to prison by Song Yan?

The smile disappeared from Xie Shizhu's face. She glanced at the palace maid and said in a tone of voice, "Groom me."

The first time the palace maid saw the queen like this, she was stunned, and then she didn't dare to slack off to dress her up.

After the late emperor was buried, the so-called plain clothes and vegetarian days in the palace came to an end.

Xie Shizhu put on a gorgeous court dress, and her already beautiful appearance became even more charming, and every glance was captivating.

She went directly to the concubine selection site.

At this moment, several young women were standing in front of the emperor and several concubines.

Song Yan sat in the middle, and his handsome appearance made the women who participated in the selection of concubines fall in love with him.

Moreover, Song Yan is the new emperor and there are not many women in the harem. The woman who can enter the harem first will be the first to compete for power. Whoever is the first to be the prince will be able to secure his position.

The queen's seat next to Song Yan was empty. There was obviously a queen, but she did not show up.

Muxue and the other two concubines sat on several chairs beside the emperor, while the Queen Mother sat on the other side of him.

These three people didn't look very good. After all, the young and beautiful women participating in the concubine selection were a great threat to them.

Not to mention, Song Yan never even touched them.

The father-in-law said in a sharp voice that the queen was here, and a group of people looked not far away and bent down to salute.

The woman's skin was like cream, which made her look even more charming in the harsh climate. She was followed by two palace maids.

She bowed slightly and saluted the Emperor and the Queen Mother. After standing up, she didn't look at Song Yan's expression and sat down beside him unhurriedly.

Song Yan's expression stiffened for a moment, and the fingertips hanging on both sides tightened slightly.

Why is she here?

Now, in order to calm down the war, I specially selected a concubine to stabilize the relationship with the Minister of War.

In fact, he was just going through the motions. The so-called selection of concubines had a purpose.

Xie Shizhu noticed Song Yan's eyes, but she deliberately ignored it and sat upright.

During the selection of concubines, Xie Shizhu was very sensible and would comment on each beautiful woman.

She praised her as soon as she opened her mouth, and her voice was cold and melodious. A group of beautiful women blushed at the praise and thanked the queen with gifts.

To be honest, Xie Shizhu was a little envious of Song Yan, who had so many beauties.

In fact, it's not Song Yan's fault. If she were a man, she wouldn't be able to take her eyes away when seeing these beauties.

However, Song Yan's eyes were looking at her, his eyes deep.

Xie Shizhu rolled his eyes in his heart, then picked up a cup of tea and took a slow sip.

In the eyes of outsiders, Song Yan was gentle and elegant. When choosing concubines, he spoke softly and extremely gentle to every beautiful woman.

There is no so-called majesty at all.

But suddenly, the elegant young emperor in front of him suddenly dropped his face, stood up from the throne, and grabbed the queen beside him by the wrist regardless of the surprise of the people around him.

The Queen Mother was stunned and looked unhappy.

Song Yan took Xie Shizhu's wrist and left directly from the concubine selection site.

Everyone who stayed there looked at each other, not knowing what happened for a moment.

The Queen Mother frowned and said to the stunned group of people: "Continue."
