Xie Shizhu held the shuttlecock in his hand and spoke only after seeing that no one was around: "Is he really like this?"
Song Ye was touched. "Yes, my brother has only been in office for seven or eight days, and he has already changed the rules of the Yan Kingdom. You didn't see the faces of those ministers. They are so gloomy."
There was a strange flash in Xie Shizhu's eyes, and the softest part of his heart seemed to be gently rubbed by something, and it was very itchy.
She looked down at the white feather shuttlecock, silent.
Song Ye also followed her gaze and saw the feathers on the shuttlecock. After thinking for a while, he said, "Hey, last night when I was keeping vigil, I saw a pigeon. Its feathers were very white, just like the feathers on your shuttlecock."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu's fingers trembled and the shuttlecock in his hand fell to the ground.
Her face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
"What did you see?" Xie Shizhu asked hurriedly.
Song Ye noticed that she looked unhappy. He was stunned for a moment and answered truthfully: "It was just a pigeon. I was chasing it and knocked over the candle, burning the cloth on the coffin. Fortunately, my brother came. He has the best temper among all the princes and didn't blame me at all."
Xie Shizhu's forehead was covered with sweat.
Woman, you are playing with fire.
Song Yan is indeed the prince with the best temper and the most cruel.
She almost got herself killed for picking up a feather before, so it seems that Song Ye is no exception.
Song Ye looked at Xie Shizhu's pale face and lips, and was very worried: "Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Shizhu was very sad in his heart, but he pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm fine."
Song Ye took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead. As if he had thought of something, he said, "Do you remember what the other party said about the adults when we were in the carriage?"
Xie Shizhu nodded: "Remember."
Song Ye was silent for a few seconds, then took back the handkerchief and said, "When you have time, my dear sister-in-law, please come with me out of the palace. We must find out who is doing this and report it to my brother."
Xie Shizhu had searched alone several times. She was good at martial arts and had searched the homes of all the court officials but found no clues.
However, it was a good thing to have someone with her: "Okay."
The two chatted for a while, and Song Ye left quickly. As soon as she left, Xie Shizhu continued to kick shuttlecock, a little absent-mindedly.
In this world, Song Ye is her friend, and she can't just watch her die at Song Yan's hands.
But she can hardly protect herself.
When Xie Shizhu was in despair, the shuttlecock deviated from his toes, kicked out in an arc, and hit someone directly.
Xie Shizhu quickly looked at the person who was hit, and when she found out it was Qi Zian, she nodded slightly as a greeting.
Qi Zian picked up the shuttlecock that had fallen to the ground, walked quickly to her, handed it to her with both hands and said, "Empress, you kick the shuttlecock very well."
Xie Shizhu took the shuttlecock he handed over, smiled, and nodded politely.
Qi Zian is Song Yan's man, and Xie Shizhu is still a little surprised.
Qi Zian saluted her and passed by her.
At this time, Xie Shizhu smelled a book-like scent on him, the kind of ink scent, very strong.
Xie Shizhu was very surprised. After all, Qi Zian was a martial artist, so how could he have any air of being at odds with him?
She didn't have time to think about it because she saw Xie Xi appear not far away, and sweat broke out on Xie Shizhu's forehead again.
My aunt is here.
Xie Xi must have just come from the Northern Desert. He was covered in dust and dirt. He hadn't washed much during the journey in the carriage, and his hair was in clumps.
She hurried over to Xie Shizhu. Just as Xie Xi was about to hug Xie Shizhu, she suddenly remembered something and quickly knelt on the ground, bowing to her and saying, "Your servant greets Her Majesty the Queen."
Xie Shizhu hurriedly helped her up.
Several palace maids she had sent away had already returned to her side. Xie Shizhu could only pretend to be mute and gesture to them, saying, "Take my sister to take a bath."
"yes."
The palace maid led Xie Xi to take a bath.
Xie Xi kept looking back at her as she walked. Xie Shizhu gestured towards her, saying, "Come back to me when you've washed yourself nicely."
Xie Xi: "..." She didn't want to do this, but the journey from Beimo to Yanguo was long.
In order to see her sister as soon as possible, she worked almost non-stop without even taking a break.
Xie Shizhu watched Xie Xi's back and sighed in his heart.
It's really a double whammy.
She was in a difficult situation and wanted to help Song Ye solve the problem. Before she could find a solution, Xie Xi showed up.
The system sighed: [Barbie is q.]
*
In the evening, Xie Shizhu felt very tired even though he had done nothing.
I am exhausted both physically and mentally.
She took a bath and then lay on the couch like a salted fish, staring at one place in a daze.
*
After Song Yan finished his business, he looked at the darkening sky outside the window, looking a little tired.
Before he could even stand up, he heard the eunuch outside say, "Your Majesty, the Empress requests an audience."
Song Yan was slightly stunned. When the Empress was mentioned, he automatically thought of Xie Shizhu's face. With a smile on his thin lips, he stood up quickly, and then heard Mu Xue's voice again.
The smile on his lips froze, and he sat down again in disappointment.
"Let her in." He said casually.
"yes."
After a while, Mu Xue came in slowly from outside. She was dressed simply. Because of the death of the previous emperor, the dress code of the entire palace was simple.
But Mu Xue's beautiful face is not ordinary.
"Your Majesty," Mu Xue knelt on the ground and saluted him.
Song Yan smiled slightly and said softly, "No need to be so polite."
