After the person left, Xie Shizhu slowly lay down and continued to be a sleeping salted fish.

At dusk, Yan Chou sat at his desk, reading over memorials, his deep eyes filled with a hint of impatience.
Fu Yun rushed into Chengming Palace, sweat dripping from his forehead, and said nervously, "Your Majesty, the Regent went to the palace today..."
A vicious look flashed across Yan Chou's eyes. He stood up and when he heard Yan Xiuran, he was filled with rage. He pushed the memorial on the table to the ground and asked in a cold voice, "When did it happen?"
Fu Yun swallowed and answered carefully: "Your Majesty, three hours ago."
Yan Chou flicked his sleeves, stepped over the memorials on the ground, and headed towards Jin'an Hall without hesitation.
Fu Yun hurriedly stood up and followed Yan Chou closely.
On the way, Lin Xuan and several palace maids were carrying dinner to Jin'an Palace. When they saw Yan Chou, they quickly knelt down and saluted.
As Yan Chou was about to pass by Lin Xuan, Lin Xuan, having grasped the plot, came up with a plan. Pretending to be inattentive, she whispered to the palace maid beside her, "I saw the Regent walking back and forth at the South Gate today, seemingly surveying the terrain..."
The palace maid signaled Lin Xuan to be silent, but Lin Xuan continued talking.
"I don't know why he would go to such a remote place."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Chou stopped as Lin Xuan expected and glanced at herself out of the corner of his eye.
When Yan Chou discovered that Lin Xuan's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Xie Shizhu's, he was a little flustered, but in a moment, he returned to his usual cold and stern expression.
However, no one noticed the hatred flashing in Yan Chou's eyes.
After hearing what the palace maid said, Yan Chou frowned and clenched his hands that were hanging at his sides suddenly, making cracking sounds from his joints.
His steps were even more hurried than before.
Yan Chou stared at the Jin'an Palace not far away, with only anger in his heart.
She is truly my good queen, yet she dares to disobey him again.
After a little thought, he knew the purpose of Yan Xiuran going to the South Gate. It was directly connected to the outside of the palace and the wall was lower than other places. If he could go there, he must want to elope with his queen.
Yan Chou sneered and pushed open the door of Jin'an Palace. He stopped and said to Fu Yun behind him, "Without my order, no one is allowed to enter Jin'an Palace."
Fuyun said: "Yes."
Afterwards, Fu Yun stopped several palace maids who were delivering dinner to Jin'an Palace, signaled the guards on both sides to close the door, and stood still, waiting for Yan Chou's order inside.

When Xie Shizhu was half asleep, he felt suffocated by the pressure of a body.
She quickly opened her eyelids, and what she saw were the man's deep, bottomless black eyes, filled with dark murderous intent.
"Xie Shizhu," Yan Chou stretched out his hand, placing his large, bony palm on her chin, stroking it slowly with his thumb, his voice hoarse, "How have I wronged you that you keep trying to escape?"
Xie Shizhu subconsciously turned her face away, and Yan Chou's palm fell empty. His eyes darkened, and he pinched her jaw again, forcing her to turn her head and look at him.
She lay on the bright red quilt, her jet-black hair scattered casually, and said dejectedly: "Why don't I run away? Are you asking me to fall in love with a man who destroyed my family and country? I can't do it."
Yan Chou stared into her pupils, and his heart trembled slightly when he noticed the pain in the woman's eyes.
Yes, in Xie Shizhu's heart, he is a complete villain.
It was his country that reduced Xie Shizhu's country to ashes.
The system was still worried about whether Xie Shizhu would be harmed by this tyrant, but the next second, Yan Chou suddenly became quiet, staring at him motionlessly, as if he had no intention of continuing.
Moreover, the malicious value in the original subject suddenly dropped to 90.
The system was in shock.
Yan Chou lifted Xie Shizhu's chin with his fingers very gently, and covered his lips with them. The cold breath made Xie Shizhu want to resist.
But she could only close her eyes and accept this wet kiss.
Yan Chou didn't touch her. After ending the kiss, he lay down beside her. His slightly heavy breathing reached Xie Shizhu's ears.
The faint candlelight gradually burned out. Xie Shizhu glanced at him, turned sideways, and fell asleep somewhat uneasily.
The next day.
Yan Chou was a light sleeper and woke up when he heard the slightest movement. It was the palace maid in the hall preparing to dress up Xie Shizhu.
The palace maid was shocked for a long time when she saw Yan Chou lying next to Xie Shizhu.
Yan Chou sat up from the dragon couch, looked down at the woman who was still sleeping, and slowed down his movements slightly.
When the palace maid was about to change his clothes, Yan Chou glanced at her with a cold look, and the palace maid was so scared that she knelt down in a hurry.
The sound of knees hitting the ground woke Xie Shizhu up. She opened her eyes and saw Yan Chou wearing a brocade robe.
Yan Chou seemed to realize that she had woken up and turned to look at Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu realized something and hurriedly tied his hair. Seeing that she was so considerate, Yan Chou smiled slightly.
But the next second, he caught a glimpse of something falling out of Xie Shizhu's sleeve, and a cold look flashed in Yan Chou's eyes.
You almost don't have to guess what it is.
The Regent is really becoming more and more bold.
After tying his hair, Xie Shizhu got down from the couch.
The palace maid hurriedly dressed up Xie Shizhu, and her fingers were trembling because Yan Chou was watching the two of them from the side.
In the original story, this palace maid was Xie Shizhu's personal maid, but after the original owner entered the cold palace, she turned to Lin Xuan without hesitation, and even provided Lin Xuan with any information about Xie Shizhu's habits.
This is also the main reason why Lin Xuan was able to replace Xie Shizhu.
When the palace maid was wiping Xie Shizhu's hands, she pushed her sleeve up. After seeing the toad blood on Xie Shizhu's arm, she was stunned.
Xie Shizhu quickly pushed his sleeves down to cover the crimson mark.
Yan Chou strode up to the palace maid, grabbed her neck from behind, and exerted force without hesitation until she suffocated to death, then he let go.
The palace maid collapsed on the ground with her eyes wide open, she died with her eyes open.
Xie Shizhu looked up at him, his eyes red, and asked in a trembling voice, "What are you doing?"
Yan Chou turned his gaze away, not looking at her, and said in a calm voice, "Do you want the whole world to know that my queen has always been a virgin? If you can't hide it well, I can remove this palace seal for you at any time."
Xie Shizhu bit his lip, lowered his head and remained silent.
Yan Chou ordered Fu Yun to dispose of the body. Then, he looked down at Xie Shizhu and said, "In two hours, if you dare not come to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, I will bring the Regent's head to you."
After saying this, Yan Chou sneered and turned away.
Yan Chou stepped out of the door, thinking, he wanted to see if Xie Shizhu dared to elope with Yan Xiuran.
The other palace maids in the hall helped Xie Shizhu to do her makeup again.
Xie Shizhu smiled in his heart, too indifferently.
The system recovered from its shock and asked: [Host, do you still want to keep the appointment?]
Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows frivolously: "Why not go?"
The system was stunned: [Are you going to die? ]
Xie Shizhu did not respond to the system's words, and a nonchalant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
