The system quickly announced the good news: [Host, just now you resigned from the post of Zhong Changyao's Imperial Master, and your malice value has dropped again!]

Xie Shizhu looked away and asked, "How much is it?"

The system said: [70! Congratulations! 】

Xie Shizhu nodded and stopped communicating with the system.

Because I'm still busy tomorrow.

Soon, Xie Shizhu returned to his palace to bathe and change clothes.

The person who serves her is Ming Ruzhen.

Ming Ruzhen was giving her a massage, but he stopped talking.

Xie Shizhu looked up at her, smiled and said, "What's wrong?"

Ming Ruzhen plopped down on the ground and confessed everything: "Your Highness, I am guilty."

Xie Shizhu plucked the water from the soup pool with his fingertips and asked, "What crime?"

Ming Ruzhen bit her lip and told all the things that Zhong Changyao had done to train her to be by Xie Shizhu's side.

After Xie Shizhu heard this, he did not question her or convict her.

Instead, he said lazily: "If you want me to forgive you, just give me a good shoulder massage."

Ming Ruzhen's eyes lit up, she was overjoyed, her heart beat wildly, and she quickly stood up.

The movements of his hands were extremely gentle: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xie Shizhu slowly closed his eyelids and enjoyed Ming Ruzhen's massage.

After taking a bath, Xie Shizhu was still too worried about Xie Ji.

I don't know if her younger brother is obedient.

Xie Shizhu frowned, and his heart tightened inexplicably when he thought of the wound on the side of Xie Ji's face.

This emotion is very unexpected.

Xie Shizhu thought it was a concern about family ties and didn't pay much attention to it.

Then, she opened her eyes to Ruzhen and put on her clothes.

She didn't tidy up either, with a plain face and disheveled hair, she went straight to Xie Ji's palace.

Xie Ji has always been a solitary person, and there are few servants in the palace, only two guards squatting at the door.

The guard quickly saluted her when he saw her, and then deliberately raised his voice and reported to Xie Jihui who was in the palace: "King Yi, Your Majesty wishes to see you."

At this moment, the man who had been preparing to go to bed suddenly sat up.

He stood up again and checked in front of the bronze mirror.

Immediately afterwards, a woman slowly came in from outside, carrying a medicine bottle in her hand.

Xie Ji stood up to greet him, and was slightly startled when he saw Xie Shizhu's dress.

The woman didn't look like what he usually saw. The clean face at this moment, without the blessing of rouge and gouache, looked a little childish.

Her facial features are exquisite, and her eyes are particularly penetrating and agile.

Just like they were when they were children.

Zhong Changyao didn't appear around him either.

Since the two were studying in the study room, the teacher Zhong Changyao barged in between them.

Since then, everything has changed.

The imperial sister is like a demon, following Zhong Changyao all the time.

Xie Ji murmured: "Sister Huang..."

Xie Shizhu pursed his lips and smiled, gently took his wrist, pulled him to sit down, and looked at the wound on the side of his face.

The man has fair skin, sharp facial contours, and has long since lost his youthful air.

And a wound is like a flaw, making this perfect face look a little sick.

Xie Shizhu liked beautiful things. She raised her hand regretfully and couldn't help but touch the wound with her fingertips.

The woman's warm body temperature spread into his skin, making Xie Ji's whole body tense up.

There was also a bit of astonishment in his eyes as he stared blankly at the woman in front of him.

Xie Shizhu suddenly realized what he was doing.

Damn it, I suddenly couldn't hold it back.

She quickly put down her hand and said calmly: "Where did you get the injury on your face?"

Xie Ji felt that the warmth of a woman still remained on her cheeks.

He suppressed the restlessness in his heart and lightly opened his thin lips: "At that time, I was trying to help the emperor find the bandit, and he was scratched in the face by a sword when he was catching him."

After saying that, Xie Shizhu felt guilty.

At that time, she didn't see Xie Ji in the palace, and she was still blaming him for being ignorant and always missing.

It turned out that Xie Ji was searching for the bandits alone for his own sake.

Xie Ji's eyes were hot, staring at the woman's expression.

In fact, he had been hungry for several days, and because he had no money, he climbed a tree to pick wild fruits. The injury on his face was accidentally scratched by a branch.

Xie Shizhu quickly placed the bottle on the table, dipped some medicine on his fingertips, and treated the devil in front of him gently for the first time.

Apply the medicine carefully to him.

Xie Ji's breathing gradually became disordered.

Xie Shizhu felt the hot breath spraying on her palm, and she was stunned.

Leng Buding realized that this boy had impure intentions for him.

Forget it, since he was working so hard for her, she still helped Xie Ji apply the medicine.

Just think of it as a bonus for this kid.

The system was speechless: [...] So casual.

After applying the medicine, Xie Shizhu left the medicine bottle to Xie Ji and told him to apply it twice a day so that there would be no scars.

Xie Ji nodded obediently.

When Xie Shizhu stood up to leave, a slender arm suddenly hugged her waist and pressed his body against her back.

She froze on the spot, and just when she was about to reprimand, she heard Xie Ji's trembling voice, "Sister Huang, I know you gave up your innocence in order to save me. I'm not worthy of your doing this."

Xie Shizhu's mood suddenly changed. He reached out and gently stroked the back of the man's hand, "Your life is more important than the innocence of the emperor's sister."

After finishing speaking, Xie Ji's dark pupils were filled with many emotions.

Xie Shizhu smiled softly: "Go to rest early and don't miss tomorrow's banquet."

"Okay." Xie Ji couldn't bear to let go of his hand and watched Xie Shizhu's back disappear from his eyes.

After returning to his palace, Xie Shizhu slept soundly.

On the contrary, others stayed up all night.

The twins found Xie Hailan overnight and told her everything that happened in the palace.

After Xie Hailan and her daughter heard that Zhong Changyao had lost his position and was banned from the house, their only life-saving straw was gone. They felt like the sky was falling.

I originally thought that with Zhong Changyao here, I would definitely be able to deal with Xie Ji and Xie Shizhu, but I didn't expect that even someone as smart as the Imperial Master would not be able to defeat these two people.

Xie Hailan looked at the twins with hatred in his eyes, and an idea came to his mind instantly.

Then, in a low voice, she told the twins her plan.

The twins were originally people who were at their wits' end.

No matter how much they praise Xie Shizhu, they can't live a good life.

I remembered that when they were studying in the study room, they teamed up with Xie Hailan to bully Xie Shizhu.

Therefore, at least Xie Hailan hates these siblings just like them.

After hearing Xie Hailan's plan, the twins nodded in agreement and praised Xie Hailan.

She is said to be more beautiful and intelligent than Xie Shizhu.

This directly made Xie Hailan burst into laughter.

The twins looked at each other and smiled in unison.

Because they felt in their hearts that Xie Hailan was stupider than Xie Shizhu, and a few words of flattery could win her over.
