He walked out of the hall without looking back. Even though he breathed in the fresh air, he couldn't suppress the strangeness in his heart.
Outside the hall, Chang Qing, wearing a light purple robe, stood beside Fu Yun, waiting for him.
Yan Chou glanced at him calmly and said slowly, "General Chang, why did you stand on my side at that time?"
Chang Qing bowed slightly, recalling everything he saw in the Imperial Garden. Xie Shizhu and Yan Chou were very affectionate. Rather than letting Yan Chou step down, he wanted to see Xie Shizhu smile more.
"Your Majesty, this is because of the Empress."

Seeing Yan Chou's figure, Xie Shizhu quickly stood up, walked to his side in small steps, and changed his clothes personally according to the rules of sleeping with him.
Yan Chou lowered his eyebrows and looked at her obedient appearance, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.
