He thought to himself that what the imperial sister said was true.
And he wanted to save his life.
Although Zhong Changyao couldn't move him at all, Xie Shizhu was able to protect him, which made him think of the past.
When the emperor's sister was little, she always played with him and would say, "When you become emperor, I want to marry you, just like now, and we will never be apart."
It was just a childish remark, but Xie Ji still remembers it to this day.
Xie Ji flew down from the roof and landed on his feet.
He frowned slightly.
How did the imperial sister get sick?
*
Xie Shizhu reviewed a memorial, which happened to be a memorial regarding expenditures from the national treasury.
The system quickly said: [Host, Xie Ji seemed to be eavesdropping just now.]
Xie Shizhu put down the memorial and thought for a long time, "Normal, there is not a single good person here."
The system smacked its lips: [You too?]
Xie Shizhu smiled innocently: "I am a good person."

In the evening, Xie Shizhu finally finished reviewing the memorials.
She stretched her limbs, stood up and prepared to go for a walk outside.
Soon, Ming Zhenru appeared and she accompanied Xie Shizhu around the harem.
Xie Shizhu stopped beside a pavilion and was just about to sit down and rest for a while when suddenly a figure came from not far away.
The girl was only about sixteen years old and was accompanied by several maids.
Xie Shizhu didn't take it seriously. Ming Zhenru, who was standing by her side, reminded her, "The legitimate daughter of Prince Zhou's palace is Xie Hailan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu stood up straight.
Xie Hailan.
An important character in the original plot.
Xie Hailan was someone Xie Shizhu had met when he was studying.
King Zhou was also the elder brother of the late emperor.
When he was studying, Zhong Changyao was a teacher. Because of his outstanding appearance, he was deeply liked by Xie Hailan.
But because she was the emperor's daughter, Zhong Changyao was closer to her, which made Xie Hailan jealous.
Now that she sits on the throne, Xie Hailan must be furious.
Xie Hailan must have seen her and rushed towards her with two maids.
Ming Zhenru quickly stood in front of her.
Xie Hailan found that a substitute guard dared not take her seriously. Her face turned dark and she saluted Xie Shizhu reluctantly.
Xie Shizhu looked at her and said coldly, "Get up."
After Xie Hailan stood up, he looked at Ming Zhenru.
Although Xie Shizhu's current identity does not allow her to humiliate her as she did when she was a student, it does not mean that she cannot bully her.
After all, beating a dog is equivalent to beating the dog's owner.
It can also give Xie Shizhu a little warning.
Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the emperor. Just like what her father said, he is just an emperor in name only.
No real power.
Xie Hailan raised his finger and pointed at Ming Zhenru's face, saying with some anger: "Since I have already saluted when I met the emperor, but given my status, you should salute me back. This is etiquette!"
After she finished speaking, she was reluctant to let go of her hand that was pointing at Ming Zhenru's face.
Ming Zhenru used to be Xie Shizhu's tutoring maid, and she knew Xie Hailan quite well.
Even if she bowed, the other party would still find some questions to make things difficult for her.
But it is better to have less trouble than more.
After all, she is just a guard.
Just as Ming Zhenru was thinking, Xie Hailan spoke again: "I am just a servant. I really think that my master has ascended. I don't know what my identity is."
There was something else in her words, and even if Xie Shizhu was dumb, he could hear the hidden meaning.
This young lady is speaking in a veiled way.
Ming Zhenru lifted the hem of her dress, bent her knees, and was about to kneel down when a pair of slender, white hands grabbed her arms and stopped her.
Then, a lazy female voice came into her ears, with a hint of nonchalance.
Very pleasant to the ear.
"Slave?" Xie Shizhu curled her red lips, staring at Xie Hailan's spoiled face, and parted her lips. "I have always regarded Zhenru as my elder sister. Do you think that my elder sister has to kneel down and pay homage to you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Zhenru stood there in a daze, looking at Xie Shizhu with a lot of emotions in his eyes.
Xie Hailan's expression changed.
Xie Shizhu is the emperor, even if he doesn't have much real power, he is still the emperor.
Xie Hailan sneered and prepared to leave with several of her maids.
But Xie Shizhu was not someone to be trifled with. She suddenly reached out and grabbed Xie Hailan.
Xie Hailan was stunned.
After Xie Shizhu caught her, he didn't let her go. Instead, he said in a cold voice, "She is my sister, so you shouldn't bow to her?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Hailan's expression became terribly gloomy. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say?"
Xie Shizhu repeated word for word: "Kneel down and salute."
Xie Hailan's facial features were almost distorted.
This is not the palace, not her territory.
Under Xie Shizhu's cold gaze, Xie Hailan was forced to kneel on the ground.
As soon as she knelt, the maids around her also knelt down.
Xie Hailan gnashed his teeth and said very reluctantly: "Meet Guard Mingyue."
Xie Shizhu lowered his head and looked at Xie Hailan's humiliated face, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Then, she ignored Xie Hailan and said to Ming Zhenru, who was still shocked, "Let's go."
Ming Zhenru: "Yes."
After the two of them left together, Xie Hailan got up from the ground and stared at their backs fiercely.
Then, I thought to myself, Xie Shizhu, I will ask you to step down from the throne tomorrow.
*
"Your Majesty, I am a servant and do not deserve to be called sister." When they reached a deserted place, Ming Zhenru knelt on his knees and kowtowed to her.
Xie Shizhu looked down at her and said in a calm tone, "You are what I say you are. If anyone dares to contradict me, I will tear his head off."
