Xie Shizhu stared into his eyes, reached out and patted Xie Ji's head, as if they were as intimate as before, with anger on his little face.
"What else? You want to be a slave in my palace?"
Xie Ji paused, many emotions rising in his eyes, and finally occupied by family affection.
yes.
She is my blood-related sister.
Apart from family, what other relationship could there be?
Xie Shizhu couldn't help but pinch Xie Ji's fair cheek and whispered softly: "I haven't taken it to heart that you forcefully kissed me and poisoned me last time, but that was my first kiss..."
Halfway through her conversation, she noticed Xie Ji's expression was a little excited, so she quickly changed the subject, "Let's go. Do you want to die at Zhong Changyao's hands?"
After saying that, Xie Shizhu whistled.
Ming Zhenru emerged from the darkness, leading a horse behind him, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the horse is ready."
Xie Shizhu nodded slightly, glanced at the young man who was still standing there in surprise, and the next second he jumped onto the horse and extended a hand to Xie Ji.
Xie Ji was stunned and looked at the woman's hand.
Slender and beautiful.
He pursed his thin lips, grabbed Xie Shizhu's wrist, then jumped onto the horse and sat behind Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu held the reins and said to Xie Ji behind him, "Hold me tight."
Xie Ji was stunned, lowered his eyes to stare at her fair neck, carefully stretched out his hand and circled the woman's waist.
Xie Shizhu was very thin. When he hugged her, she was so slender that he could just hold her with one arm, and there was still more than enough space.
Xie Ji suddenly thought of his royal sister's hidden illness, and coupled with the tight treasury situation, she must not have had a good night's sleep since she ascended the throne.
His eyes gradually showed pity.
If it weren't for the imperial sister sitting in this position, he would be the one who suffered.
Xie Shizhu was riding a horse and had no idea what Xie Ji was thinking.
She just wanted to escape from here as soon as possible and return to the palace.
Ming Zhenru stood there and watched the horse go farther and farther away. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when Zhong Changyao caught up with her.
Her face turned pale, and she fell to her knees. A hint of fear appeared on her face, and she said in a trembling voice, "Master."
Zhong Changyao stood in front of Ming Zhenru. He looked down at the woman and looked around.
After seeing that this place was a dense forest, he asked without any warmth in his voice, "Why are you here?"
Ming Zhenru is Zhong Changyao's man.
She had been accompanying Xie Shizhu to study from the very beginning, and it was Zhong Changyao who arranged for her to be by Xie Shizhu's side.
Ming Zhenru knew Zhong Changyao's purpose.
He was merely training Xie Shizhu, treating her as a puppet emperor to obey his orders.
And he himself was Zhong Changyao's spy who was monitoring Xie Shizhu.
She has no father or mother and has followed Xie Shizhu for so long. She has always regarded the new emperor as a pawn for her own survival.
But Xie Shizhu called her "sister" and supported her in front of Xie Hailan.
This was the first time that Ming Zhenru, who had never felt the love of family, understood the feeling of having the support of family members.
Since Xie Shizhu did not despise her status as a servant, she had no way of betraying the new emperor.
This way, her conscience will be at ease.
Ming Zhenru lied to Zhong Changyao for the first time. She lowered her head and pretended to be calm, saying, "I am here only to help Your Majesty buy the cakes he likes."
Her words made Zhong Changyao narrow his eyes slightly.
He squatted down, raised his arm, and lifted Ming Zhenru's chin with his slender fingertips.
And carefully explored her expression.
Then, the man opened his thin lips and said, "Ming Zhenru, are you lying to me?"
Ming Zhenru's shoulders trembled, and he quickly knocked his forehead to the ground, suppressing his fear. He said, "Every word I said is true. Your Majesty likes the steamed buns on Anchang Street. They are only open in the mornings. I just want to buy the hottest meal for Your Majesty."
Hearing this, Zhong Changyao slowly stood up, glanced at the woman still kneeling on the ground, and his eyes darkened.
He said in an exceptionally low voice, "If you dare to deceive me, your life will end in my hands."
Ming Zhenru took a deep breath and said, "I dare not."
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhong Changyao disappeared from her sight.
After the person left, Ming Zhenru realized that his whole body was covered in sweat, and even sweat was dripping from the tip of his nose.
Once she told a lie, she would cover it up with countless lies.
Ming Zhenru quickly went to Anchang Street to buy buns for Xie Shizhu.

As the sky brightened, Xie Shizhu finally arrived at the palace.
She returned to her own palace, with a tail about 1.8 meters long following behind her.
Xie Shizhu was extremely sleepy at the moment. She yawned and looked back at Xie Ji.
System: [I'm really tired. You haven't had a good night's sleep since you came here.]
Xie Shizhu pinched his brows and complained, "Who made me have such a troublesome little brother?"
"Xie Ji, go back now," Xie Shizhu said lazily as he untied his belt, "My sister has a surprise for you in seven days."
Xie Ji looked at Xie Shizhu's hands as he was unbuckling his belt with a burning gaze, his eyes bold and fluctuating.
Xie Shizhu: “…”
She quickly stopped.
Help, what should I do if there is a follower around me that I can’t get rid of!
Or the kind of brother who has improper thoughts about you.
Xie Ji curled his thin lips slightly, moved closer to Xie Shizhu, and hugged her waist from behind, resting his chin on the woman's shoulder. His hoarse voice was like a vine wrapped around her whole body.
"Imperial sister, I am looking forward to the surprise you will give me."
After saying that, Xie Ji let her go and kissed the woman on the cheek like he did when they were children.
The cool touch made Xie Shizhu freeze.
