Eunuch Zhou was waiting outside for Song Yan to come to court, so he did not stay in Shaoyue Hall for long and soon went to the court.
After he left, Xie Shizhu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he only said a few words before leaving.
If Song Yan had come earlier, she would probably have been unable to get out of bed again today.
The system nodded: [It's time to slow down, otherwise it will break down.]
Xie Shizhu had just taken a sip of tea when he spat it out after hearing a word from the system.
This frightened the palace maid who was serving breakfast and she quickly knelt on the ground.
Xie Shizhu pinched her brows, and after breakfast, she waved her hand to let the palace maids go out. She ate breakfast while communicating with the system.
"I find that something is wrong with you now."
The system chuckled: [Host, I am like the one who is close to vermilion and black, and I am also better than the master.]
Xie Shizhu supported his chin and thought. It seemed that after these few worlds, the originally simple system had become strange.
I have to avoid suspicion in the future.
After Xie Shizhu finished her breakfast, she left the hall. When she came back yesterday, it was already very late, and she didn't see anything extra in the yard.
The Shaole Hall is very large, with a gravel-paved flower path and various flower trees on both sides. The flowers and plants are colorful, and the blooming flowers are colorful and fragrant, exuding a refreshing aroma all around.
Xie Shizhu was a little stunned. She stared at the flowers and realized belatedly that these were exactly the same varieties she had seen in the Imperial Garden before.
And the flowers among them were the same ones Song Ye gave her.
Seeing the surprise on her face, the maid smiled secretly and said hurriedly, "Empress, the Emperor specially ordered the flowers from the Imperial Garden to be dug up and planted in Shaoyue Palace."
There was a hint of confusion in Xie Shizhu's eyes.
When Song Ye sent her flowers, Song Yan told her not to pick them at will in the imperial garden.
Maybe it was because of her words "But I like it" that I turned around and planted the flowers directly in the yard for her to enjoy.
The maid said enviously, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the Queen Mother is furious about this matter, and the concubines strolling outside the palace are full of jealousy."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu saw Mu Xue passing by outside the palace with two palace maids. He glanced inside and saw the flowers in the yard. His face turned blue and black.
Then, Mu Xue took a deep breath, and left quickly with the two palace maids, thinking that she would not see it and would not be bothered by it.
Xie Shizhu shrugged. There was nothing she could do about it. It was Song Yan who doted on her.
*
Song Yan was handling state affairs and frowned slightly as he looked at the words on the memorial.
This is a memorial sent by a general far away on the frontier, saying that they should be prepared to fight at any time because the soldiers in the northern desert are already ready to move.
Song Yan put down the memorial and exhaled intermittently.
Then he suddenly pushed away the pile of memorials on the desk, which scared the eunuchs guarding the side.
This was the first time he saw a different new emperor.

In the evening, Xie Shizhu arrived at the library on time.
Song Wenyan had been waiting here for a long time. He was holding a book and had found a good angle to wait for Xie Shizhu.
Hearing the sound of the palace maids welcoming the Queen, he adjusted his posture and put on an elegant expression, but glanced at the woman in plain clothes out of the corner of his eye.
Xie Shizhu walked slowly to his side and glanced at him.
Feeling the woman's gaze, Song Wenyan pretended to be indifferent and thought that his outfit today should be good. Xie Shizhu actually looked at him a few more times.
Sure enough, she likes the literary type like Song Yan.
Xie Shizhu was silent for a few seconds, then kindly reminded him, "Your Highness, you're holding the book upside down."
Song Wenyan: “…”
A look of embarrassment flashed across Song Wenyan's handsome face. His hand holding the book trembled, and suddenly a piece of paper stuck in the book fell to the ground.
He was too lazy to pick it up, but Xie Shizhu looked at the paper that fell on the ground. Surprise flashed in his beautiful eyes, and he quickly squatted down to pick up the paper on the ground.
Xie Shizhu quickly put the paper into his sleeve, pursed his lips and smiled: "Your Majesty, what did you want to tell me last night?"
Song Wenyan didn't care about these trivial matters. He put down the book and cleared his throat. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, a burnt smell spread from all around.
Before he could react, he heard the voice of the palace maid in the library shouting, "There's a fire! Queen, Prince, run outside!"
Song Wenyan didn't have time to think, and subconsciously grabbed Xie Shizhu's wrist and dragged her out.
But by the time they reached the exit, the fire was already very big.
The doorway was blocked by swirling sparks.
A group of palace maids and eunuchs outside carried buckets of water to put out the fire.
Song Wenyan looked at the fierce fire, and the palm of his hand holding Xie Shizhu's wrist was full of sweat.
Xie Shizhu was very calm. If she had only suspected yesterday whether it was Qi Zian, then this fire was enough to prove that it was really him.
Perhaps Qi Zian noticed that she was looking for evidence, so he set fire to the library and wanted to burn her to death there.
Xie Shizhu had learned a lot about fire escape, so she remained calm and said to Song Wenyan, "Bend down, keep your body close to the wall, and walk toward the window."
Song Wenyan was stunned and obeyed her.
The two men bent down and stuck to the wall to quickly avoid the thick smoke and came to the window.
Xie Shizhu pushed Song Wenyan's hand away, raised his arm to quickly open the closed window, and climbed up with both hands.
Song Wenyan was slightly stunned. As a man, he was very scared at this time. He didn't expect Xie Shizhu to be so calm and not at all frightened.
After Xie Shizhu climbed up to the window, he stretched out a hand and handed it to Song Wenyan, looking down at him and said, "Hold my hand tight."
