Xie Shizhu pretended not to hear him. With her other hand, she took off the only remaining piece of clothing on his body, a perfect smile on her lips: "Your Majesty, do you need a bath? I have asked the palace maid to prepare it in advance."
Yan Chou's sinister features were filled with anger, mixed with some pain, "Enough!"
Xie Shizhu was slightly startled, then he knelt on the ground, kowtowed several times, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..."
Yan Chou stared at her pale face, his whole body revealing a sense of dejection. He smiled bitterly and said, "Because I killed the Regent, you deliberately tortured me?"
Xie Shizhu shook her head, "I dare not."
Yan Chou said in a low voice, "I'll take you to see him off tomorrow."
As soon as the words fell, Xie Shizhu's expression changed: "I thank the emperor."
Yan Chou's handsome face was filled with desolation, and regret rose in his heart. If he had known that Xie Shizhu would become like this, he should not have been so cruel.
He did not sleep in Jin'an Hall. He picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on slowly, and said weakly, "Get up."
After saying this, Yan Chou walked past her.
System Question: [Host, there are 5 malicious points left, how do you solve it? ]
Xie Shizhu quickly stood up from the ground and rubbed her stiff knees with her hands. A myriad of emotions surged in her eyes. Finally, she sighed: "Whether it succeeds or not depends on tomorrow."
The system hesitated for a moment, then boldly said, "Host, according to my observation, your malicious value will only decrease after Yan Xiuran dies. Does that mean that only when Yan Chou dies will your malicious value be reset to zero?"
Xie Shizhu smiled meaningfully: "If only it were that simple."
The system was stunned: [Ah? This is so simple? As the Son of Heaven, killing Yan Chou is already extremely difficult, how can it be so simple?]
Faced with the system's questions, Xie Shizhu smiled without saying anything.

The next day.
The Regent's coffin was buried in the ground, and Fang Yiran cried heart-wrenchingly. During this period, she not only lost her child, but also her husband.
It's a double blow.
He didn't even care about Xie Shizhu who was standing aside. His previous jealousy had long since disappeared.
Fang Yiran didn't know that it was a rule to be buried with Yan Xiuran in Xihe. If Xie Shizhu hadn't knelt on the ground and begged Yan Chou, Fang Yiran would probably have entered the tomb with Yan Xiuran.
After burying Yan Xiuran, Xie Shizhu didn't want to stay here any longer. She said to Yan Chou with a nasal voice: "I want to go back."
Yan Chou lifted her chin with his index finger, his eyes hinting at something strange, and he softly said "OK".
The two got into the sedan chair, and Xie Shizhu snuggled obediently in Yan Chou's arms. This time, Yan Chou didn't need to force her.
Yan Chou felt the woman's soft body, surprise flashed in his eyes, and joy appeared on his brows.
After returning to the palace, Yan Chou couldn't wait to carry her to Jin'an Palace.
The palace maids and eunuchs in the hall left tactfully.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and even though it was evening, it felt like night.
The sky rumbled, and in a moment, rain fell from the sky like silver threads, wetting the ground.
The Jin'an Palace was filled with sweetness, as if a passionate lovemaking session had just ended. Yan Chou seemed a little tired. He kissed Xie Shizhu on the forehead and fell asleep.
The system discovered a problem: [Host, you didn't do anything to Yan Chou, did you? He usually has so much energy, why is he not able to do it today?]
Xie Shizhu put on his robe, got down from the couch, and replaced the burnt-out candle with a new one. The dark hall was once again filled with light.
"Well, you're getting smarter." Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows. "Yan Chou probably didn't expect that this time I didn't attack the sandalwood, but moved on to the candles."
The system suddenly realized something, and then thought of something. It was stunned for a moment: [Host, are you planning to... kill Yan Chou?]
Xie Shizhu walked to the dragon bed, lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Chou's peaceful sleeping face. In his dream, the dreaded tyrant became particularly gentle.
"How is that possible?" Xie Shizhu sighed, then took out a dagger from under her pillow. She said slowly, "Do you remember what happened at the inn?"
The system recalled for a moment, [Remember!]
Xie Shizhu's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing: "As you said, we are good citizens and would never do something as cruel as Yan Chou. So I found a bug in the system."
The system froze: [Bug?]
Xie Shizhu raised the dagger and brought it close to Yan Chou's chest. Then, the maliciousness value that had been stagnant suddenly began to drop.
The system screamed: [Fuck! Host, so you were deliberately testing me last time, knowing that only by killing Yan Chou yourself could you complete the mission?]
"Um."
[No wonder you said it wasn't that simple. It turns out the difficulty lies in having to do it yourself.]
Xie Shizhu pointed the dagger at Yan Chou's heart, and the malice value suddenly stopped at 1, with no sign of decreasing.
*
"This woman is amazing," one of the superiors couldn't help but admire the actions on the screen. "She actually wanted to exploit a loophole in the system to complete the mission."
"Being smart is a good thing," another superior sneered, "but if this person doesn't die, she won't be able to complete it. She will just stay in this world and enjoy it forever."
"Yes, there's only one digit left in the malicious value. It looks like it can't be reset to zero."
All the superiors sighed in disappointment. It seemed that there was no need to have too high expectations for a newcomer.
One of the superiors standing in the crowd happened to be the number one god, and he had a sneer on his face.
