The system realized belatedly that Xie Shizhu had deliberately let Chang Qing see this scene, and was very puzzled: [Host, what do you mean by this? ]
Xie Shizhu said slowly: "Think about it slowly."
The system froze, scratching its head, unable to understand her thoughts: [……]
Yan Chou was worried, so he took her back to Jin'an Palace to call the imperial physician to take her pulse.
The imperial physician rushed in from the Imperial Medical Clinic, sweating profusely, and quickly placed his finger on her pulse.
Half an incense stick later, the imperial physician gently put down her arm and reported truthfully to Yan Chou.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is fine except for being weak..."
As he was about to finish his words, the imperial physician noticed the disappointment on the young emperor's face. His brows were gloomy and he remained silent for a long time. After a while, he waved his sleeves and let him leave.
The imperial physician was extremely nervous. After receiving the order, he hurriedly left Jin'an Palace and breathed a sigh of relief when he left.
However, the imperial physician was still a little surprised that he did not see the previous hostility on the emperor's face today.
*
The palace has been unusually quiet in recent days.
Firstly, the emperor no longer lost his temper, which surprised all the civil and military officials in the court; secondly, the full moon banquet date for the regent's child was getting closer and closer.
The Queen Mother was also waiting for Chang Qing's reply and had no time to worry about the trivial matter of Xie Shizhu not paying his respects on time.
The palace at this moment was a bit like the bright and calm before a thunderstorm.
Yan Chou would stay in Jin'an Palace all night every day, until he was exhausted and fell asleep in the middle of the night.
I have to handle official business during the day and cannot rest at night.
It can be said to be a combination of work and rest.

In Ning'an Palace, Lin Xuan lost her eyes and could only walk by groping.
Because she was favored by the Empress Dowager before, she stirred up trouble in Ning'an Palace, bossing around some palace maids, and seemed to have forgotten her own identity.
Now the Queen Mother ignored her and assigned all the menial and heavy work to her. Even though she became a blind person, she did not receive any sympathy from the Queen Mother.
This gave the palace maids whom she had offended before an opportunity to bully her.
Just as Lin Xuan was squatting on the ground washing clothes, a basin of water was poured onto her head. The cold water flowed down her hair into her clothes, instantly making the thin clothes heavy.
Lin Xuan shuddered all over and sneezed several times in succession.
She heard the mocking voices of several palace maids behind her. Lin Xuan stood up with difficulty and turned around, only to see darkness in front of her.
She said in an angry voice, "Who poured the water?"
The only response she got was a burst of sneers, no one responded to her at all.
Lin Xuan was so angry that she was shaking all over. Before she could say the second sentence, she heard footsteps and was pushed into the laundry sink without any warning.
With a thud, her butt hit the hard stone, and the pain made her gasp.
"Oh, you're still so cool even though you're blind."
"Stay in the pool and take a bath. Let's go."
Lin Xuan climbed out of the water. The cold water seeped into her clothes, and even though it was a sunny day, it couldn't warm her whole body.
Seeing her in such a mess, several palace maids smiled smugly and pushed her away.
There was silence in my ears.
Then, she heard footsteps approaching again. Thinking it was the maids who had bullied her returning, Lin Xuan raised her voice and said, "Even if I've fallen out of favor with the Queen Mother, I'm still her person. I'll have a chance to regain her favor. If you dare to touch me again, you'll definitely suffer the consequences."
As soon as he finished speaking, the footsteps suddenly stopped.
What Lin Xuan didn't know was that the people standing in front of her were the Queen Mother and two eunuchs.
The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at Lin Xuan's pale and haggard face, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the Queen Mother signaled the eunuchs around her to take action.
The two of them grabbed Lin Xuan's shoulders and pushed her back into the water.
Lin Xuan was stunned, and the air she breathed into her mouth and nose was full of water. She struggled frantically, unable to believe that the palace maid was so bold as to treat her like this.
Before she suffocated, the Queen Mother's voice reached her ears.
"Hurry up and do it."
Lin Xuan was stunned in the water and forgot to struggle.
She had calculated everything, and had expected Yan Chou to want to kill her, and had also thought about Xie Shizhu attacking her, but she had never expected that she would die at the hands of the Queen Mother in the end.
The pool was bubbling, and after just a few minutes, the ripples slowly calmed down.
The eunuch loosened his hand, and Lin Xuan slowly emerged from the bottom of the water, but she had stopped breathing and became a corpse.
The Queen Mother looked calm as she turned and left, followed closely by two eunuchs.
As a palace maid, she knew too much and death was inevitable.
*
Lin Xuan's death was as silent as that of other servants in the harem.
During her lifetime, she relied on the Empress Dowager to avoid all kinds of hunts in the palace. Once she lost her usefulness, no one would care even if she died.
The system discovered this and excitedly reported it to Xie Shizhu.
[Host, Lin Xuan seems to be gone, but why is the malicious value not changing? ]
Xie Shizhu was being dressed up by several palace maids. She was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Yeah, normal."
The system was puzzled: [But why? ]
Xie Shizhu was like a puppet, letting the palace maids tie her hair. "You don't think the original owner only hated Lin Xuan, do you? Don't forget how she died."
The system was stunned for a moment, then took a deep breath: [She was poisoned to death by Yan Chou. Could it be that the main malicious intent lies with Yan Chou? That would be difficult to deal with.]
Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows frivolously: "Why is it so difficult?"
The system proudly stated its guess: [Aren't you and Yan Chou getting along very well? According to previous taskers, they would have been immersed in Yan Chou's love and would not be able to complete the task at all!]
