Fuyun noticed that the emperor's usually indifferent eyes began to float, as if mixed with a hint of hope.
Fuyun sighed in his heart. The queen really didn't know how to be content. Even though the emperor had done this, she still didn't consider the overall situation.
Such a woman will sooner or later ruin the emperor.
"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."
Yan Chou looked back at Chengming Palace, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. If she found Xie Shizhu's mother for her, would her hatred for him be less?
"I will be out of the palace for a few days tomorrow."
Fu Yun was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Your Majesty, do you need me to accompany you?"
"Need not."
Fuyun hesitated to speak, and finally could only say: "Yes."
Yan Chou returned to Chengming Palace. The woman under the curtain of the dragon bed was sleeping lightly. When she heard footsteps, she suddenly opened her eyelids, sat up and looked at him.
Although the veil obscured her appearance, Yan Chou could vaguely see the desolation in her eyes.
A long time ago, before she became the queen, Yan Chou vaguely saw her smile a few times, and it was deeply imprinted in his mind.
Since entering the harem, he has never seen Xie Shizhu smile again.
Yan Chou's chest swelled. He walked to the front of the couch, pushed aside the tassels with his fingers, looked into the woman's eyes, and said slowly, "I will accompany you out of the palace for a walk tomorrow."
Xie Shizhu was stunned, with a look of surprise on his face: "Why are you suddenly so kind?"
Yan Chou sat down beside the couch, and Xie Shizhu subconsciously moved to the corner, increasing the distance between them.
He frowned slightly and said, "Fuyun found out that Cangyue's queen had appeared outside the palace."
Xie Shizhu was stunned for a moment, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he asked excitedly, "Is it mother? Then let's leave the palace now."
Yan Chou raised his arm slightly, his fingertips touching her hair, but Xie Shizhu instinctively dodged. His eyes darkened, "I found your relatives for you, and you still have this attitude?"
Xie Shizhu frowned, moved to his side, shortened the distance between them, and raised her chin slightly, "Your Majesty, I beg you to take me out of the palace."
Her humble attitude did not please Yan Chou.
Only at this time would Xie Shizhu be willing to obey.
Yan Chou raised his hand, gently stroked her cheek with his cold fingertips, and looked at the woman carefully with his splendid eyes.
The corners of Xie Shizhu's eyes were slightly raised, his pupils were clear but contained a hint of fear, his long eyelashes were trembling, the lips under his delicate nose were very pale, and the skin where his hand touched was smooth and delicate.
Yan Chou's Adam's apple tightened, his phoenix eyes quickly filled with lust, and the fingers on her face had moved to her neck.
Then, with Xie Shizhu trembling with fear, he pressed her under him.
Yan Chou exhaled heavily, his eyes frighteningly red.
After a moment, Yan Chou lay down beside her, and said in a youthful yet hoarse voice, "I will take you out of the palace tomorrow. Go to sleep first."
Xie Shizhu's whole body was stiff, his eyes wide open, staring at the bright yellow curtain.
The musk from Yan Chou still lingered on her nose.
After a long time, Xie Shizhu could no longer resist the sleepiness. Even though the person she feared and hated was lying next to her, she still fell into a deep sleep.
It was dawn, and when Xie Shizhu woke up, the sedan chair was already prepared outside.
Yan Chou was wearing white clothes and had black hair, which flowed in the wind. His black hair was neither tied nor braided, and his smooth hair was like the finest silk satin, showing a unique style.
He looked at the person who had not yet fully woken up from his sleepiness, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Xie Shizhu realized it later and hurriedly got down from the bed, dressing herself in silence.
Yan Chou tiptoed up behind her, picked up a hairpin at random, inserted it into her hair with his long fingers, looked at the woman's thin chin, and said, "Queen, it's time to go."
Xie Shizhu nodded hurriedly.
Yan Chou glanced at her, turned around, left the hall, and got into the sedan chair.
Xie Shizhu followed him closely, and when he saw there was only one sedan chair, he hesitated for a moment.
Yan Chou opened the sedan window and stared at her with a heavy gaze, "Queen, if you wait any longer, I probably won't be able to get away, and you naturally won't be able to see your relatives."
Hearing this, Xie Shizhu didn't dare to delay any longer and stepped into the sedan chair. Yan Chou stretched out his hand and pulled her hard.
Xie Shizhu staggered a few times and fell into Yan Chou's arms.
Yan Chou's thin arms were wrapped around her waist. Xie Shizhu was about to struggle, but when she saw his eyes, she seemed to have thought of something and became extremely submissive.
Today, both of them left the palace as commoners, and the guards carrying the sedan chair were also wearing ordinary clothes.
After leaving the palace, Xie Shizhu's face flashed with excitement. This was the first time he had been outside in several years.
She didn't care that she was still shackled by Yan Chou, she opened the window and looked at the scenery outside.
She didn't look away until the sedan chair arrived at an inn.
Yan Chou dismissed several guards and brought Xie Shizhu to the inn.
Seeing the two men dressed in luxurious clothes, the waiter led them upstairs with a flattering smile on his face.
When I opened the door, there was a relatively small couch inside, simple and plain.
Yan Chou asked the waiter to prepare breakfast, and the waiter smiled and said, "Okay, sir."
After breakfast, Yan Chou and Xie Shizhu went to the place Fu Yun mentioned.
Yan Chou paid the street vendor with some silver and handed him the prepared portrait.
The vendor touched the heavy gold, looked at the woman in the portrait, and said with a smile, "We do have this person here. She keeps saying she's looking for her daughter, but how can we help her find her daughter?"
Xie Shizhu was stunned and said quickly: "Then do you know where she went?"
