Xie Shizhu raised his head from his arms, his red eyes filled with disbelief, and he stared at him blankly for a long time.
Then, under Yan Chou's gaze, Xie Shizhu's lips, slightly glistening with water, opened slightly, "Then I will hate you to death."
Yan Chou was slightly startled, a smile curled up his lips, and he lowered his eyes to look at her, "Then I want to see whether you die under me first, or I will be hated to death by you."
Xie Shizhu broke free from his arms and suddenly pushed Yan Chou towards the sedan chair behind him, causing his back to hit the corner of the sedan chair.
Yan Chou frowned and held her in his arms again. Looking at the woman's angry and hateful eyes, he suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you before. As for who killed the regent's child, I will give you an answer."
Xie Shizhu stopped struggling, with doubt in his eyes, "It's really not you?"
The smile on Yan Chou's lips froze. "If I were to kill his child, I would definitely do it in front of you, not in such a sneaky way. Besides, I'm not stupid enough to leave the brocade bag there and deliberately let people notice it."
His words made Xie Shizhu half-close his eyelids and think.
"Did someone deliberately frame me?" Xie Shizhu thought of the brocade bag and shrank his shoulders into Yan Chou's arms.
Yan Chou's deep eyes revealed no emotion, and he did not respond to her.
It is estimated that the person who wants to frame him is him, not Xie Shizhu.
As for who it was, Yan Chou knew it.
However, to his surprise, Xie Shizhu, who had always been clumsy, actually took the initiative to stand firmly by his side despite being criticized by everyone.
Also, Chang Qing didn't know why he agreed with Xie Shizhu's words.
All this was beyond his expectations.

The entire Regent's Palace was immersed in endless grief.
Yan Xiuran sat on the chair, buried his head deeply in his hands, grabbed his hair with his fingers, and roared silently.
His throat was already torn and painful, and the hatred bursting from his eyes was a stark contrast to his usual gentleness.
The Queen Mother sat beside him, silent for a long time, and could only comfort him, "My condolences."
Yan Xiuran raised his head from between his fingers, his face pale as he murmured, "Why would Chang Qing help Yan Chou?"
The Queen Mother was also shocked. She thought for a moment, "Maybe Xie Shizhu is involved."
Yan Xiuran exhaled a heavy breath. He made up his mind to have someone kill his own flesh and blood, just to get Yan Chou into the dungeon.
But now, not only did he lose his beloved son, but he also didn't let Yan Chou be affected at all.
The Queen Mother turned her head to look at Yan Xiuran's painful expression. She felt bad too. "It's okay. You are in good health and you will have children in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sadness on Yan Xiuran's face disappeared and was gradually replaced by a sinister look.
He wants Yan Chou to die quickly!
Yan Xiuran said in a cold voice: "Queen Dowager, let's speed up the process and make him step down from the throne as soon as possible."
The Queen Mother nodded and clenched her fists. "Okay, I'll think of a way to make Chang Qing stand on my side completely. This way, we can be absolutely sure."
Yan Xiuran collapsed to one side, his whole body powerless, his eyes fixed on the beam above his head.
Then, someone rushed into the mansion. His face was pale and he whispered, "Prince Regent, I found Liu Nian's body on the mountain..."
Yan Xiuran slowly closed his eyes, and the nightmares came one after another, all piled up together.
The Queen Mother suddenly stood up from her chair, slammed her hand on the table, and asked angrily, "How did he die?"
"To the Queen Mother, Liu Nian was stabbed in the chest by a sword and died from excessive blood loss."
Yan Xiuran already knew who killed Liunian. He was almost killed by Yan Chou in the same way before.
The Queen Mother's brows were grim. "Another emperor? What a tyrant! I was crazy to help him take the throne!"
Yan Xiuran pinched his brows, feeling extremely uncomfortable, "Empress Dowager, I want to rest for a while."
The Queen Mother reached out and patted his shoulder, sighed deeply, and left in her sedan chair without staying in the palace.

Back in the palace, everything was as peaceful as before.
But this hidden surge is gradually emerging.
The next day, at the morning court, Yan Xiu Ran accepted the comfort of other ministers in the court with a wry smile on his lips.
Yan Chou sat on the dragon throne, looking down upon every move below, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
After the court was dismissed, Yan Chou went straight out of the court and returned to Chengming Palace.
After a while, the imperial physician rushed over. Yan Chou stretched out his arm, and the imperial physician nervously lifted up the emperor's bright yellow sleeve and touched the emperor's pulse with his fingers for a few minutes.
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, then, under Yan Chou's scrutinizing gaze, said cautiously, "Your Majesty, you are in good health. When I examined the Empress before, she was fine except for being weak. If the Empress hasn't conceived yet, it must be due to external factors."
Yan Chou glanced down at the imperial physician, retracted his long arms, and his dark eyes hinted at a hint of coldness.
After paying his respects, the imperial physician quickly left Chengming Hall.
Yan Chou slowly stood up, his eyes growing darker.

Xie Shizhu had just come out of prison after visiting Xie Xinglan. When he came out, the palace maid knelt on the ground, her face pale and her shoulders trembling. She said in panic, "Empress, the Emperor has come to Jin'an Palace."
"Okay, got it."
In the past, Yan Chou would only visit Jin'an Palace at night and rarely appeared in Jin'an Palace in broad daylight.
The system looked at the malicious value that stopped at 20 and felt a little worried. Now that Lin Xuan was dead, there was no source to lower the malicious value.
[Host, we won't stay in this world forever, right? ]
Xie Shizhu replied nonchalantly as he walked towards Jin'an Palace: "Isn't this great? Here we have food and drink, and handsome men to keep us company."
