After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the hall, ignoring Ming Zhenru's surprised look.
Ming Zhenru knelt on the ground and stared at Xie Shizhu's back for a long time.

The next day.
After Xie Shizhu came to court, King Zhou suddenly brought up the issue of the national treasury again.
He said, "The national treasury is a major problem, and Your Majesty has not found a way to solve it. This has prevented the Moon Kingdom from escaping poverty. Your Majesty, do you wish to see the Moon Kingdom continue to be in trouble?"
As soon as he finished speaking, some of King Zhou's lackeys quickly echoed him, saying, "If you don't want a marriage, the Third Prince can marry, but Fan Guo wants to marry the Emperor."
One sentence broke through the layer of paper that these people dared not speak.
As soon as someone starts talking, someone else will take up the conversation.
Afterwards, someone mentioned that Xie Ji was more suitable for the throne, as no woman had ever become emperor in history.
The court was in a state of chaos.
Before this, no one dared to be so rude to the late emperor.
But no one is afraid of Xie Shizhu now.
Xie Shizhu was shocked to hear that they dared to mention Xie Ji in front of him.
He also said he wanted to replace someone.
Xie Shizhu's face darkened, and he suddenly shouted, "How dare you!"
The woman's voice was cold and tolerant.
Everyone was stunned and quickly shut their mouths.
Only the King of Day was sneering.
Last night his daughter said that Xie Shizhu asked her to kneel down to a servant, so he had to make the decision for his daughter today.
The civil and military officials were already dissatisfied with Xie Shizhu, and if he just mentioned it a little, these people would help him educate Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu took a deep breath and said, "The national treasury has been a problem since I ascended the throne. I've only been on the throne for a few days, and you want to change the master?"
After he finished speaking, no one responded.
Xie Shizhu looked at Zhong Changyao below, his lips curled up: "No matter who sits on the throne, they can't solve the national treasury in a few days. If you really don't accept it, why don't you sit on it and give it a try?"
Xie Shizhu directly pointed out their mistakes.
No one dares to mention it again now. Whoever starts it again will be the source of evil.
There was a moment of silence in the court.
The silence where even breathing can be heard,
Xie Shizhu turned his gaze to King Zhou again and said calmly, "If King Zhou feels that my position is inappropriate, how about I give the throne to you?"
King Zhou's face turned pale, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I dare not."
Xie Shizhu was actually threatening him.
No matter how dissatisfied King Zhou was, he did not dare to disobey her in the court.
Xie Shizhu stood up suddenly, looked around at everyone, and then Ming Zhenru held her arm.
The woman said nothing and left the court.
As soon as she left, the officials in the court began to discuss the matter with dissatisfaction.
But Zhong Changyao frowned.
He thought that something seemed different about Xie Shizhu.

Late at night, the only sounds coming from Prince Zhou's palace were screams.
Xie Ji was dressed in black, with his face covered, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes.
He plunged the dagger into the chest of the still sleeping King of Day.
The woman next to him was woken up by him, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a man covered in blood lying beside her.
He is also dying.
She screamed in fear, attracting the servants outside the door.
Xie Ji pulled out the dagger, and blood splattered on his eyebrows.
He looked nonchalant.
It was as if the person under his dagger was not a person, but an ant on the roadside.
He put the dagger close to the woman's cheek and said in a low voice, "Do you want to be like him?"
Xie Ji's threatening tone frightened the woman so much that she shut her mouth.
He retracted the dagger, leaped lightly, and flew to the window.
Before leaving, he glanced at the King of Day, who died with his eyes open, and a cold arc appeared on his thin lips.
Anyone who wants to hurt his royal sister will end up dead.
When Xie Ji opened the window, he was surrounded by guards.
The man in the middle had a gloomy expression and stared straight at him.
The man is Zhong Changyao.
Zhong Changyao recognized these eyes.
Thank you Ji.
It really was effortless.
He wanted to kill the prince, but he didn't expect that Xie Shizhu would save him.
Now is the opportunity.
He could use his identity as an assassin to kill the prince on the spot.
Zhong Changyao waved his hand, and the guards behind him quickly drew their swords and stepped forward to capture him.
"King Zhou was brutally murdered by an assassin. In order to avenge King Zhou, no one should be left alive." The man smiled sinisterly.
Xie Ji clenched the dagger, and his eyes darkened.
Just as he was about to return to the house, more than a dozen guards rushed into the house.
He must be killed.
At this time, Xie Ji was still in a calm mood.
After all, it would be worth dying to help the imperial sister solve a problem.
Suddenly, a nimble figure appeared in the crowd. She quickly used a puff of smoke, poisoning the people around her and causing them to fall to the ground.
When Zhong Changyao smelled a strange smell and felt something was wrong, his whole body went limp and he watched helplessly as a slender figure jumped onto the window, stretched out his hand and grabbed Xie Ji's wrist.
Then he flew to the roof.
By the time Zhong Changyao covered his mouth and nose and regained consciousness, the two figures had disappeared.
He quickly followed.

Xie Shizhu had already asked people to prepare a trap outside.
She quickly took Xie Ji away from here.
Xie Ji looked at her neck and said in a low voice, "Imperial Sister."
Xie Shizhu's body stiffened, and she thought, this kid actually recognized her just by looking at her from behind.
When they reached a safe place, Xie Shizhu took off the black veil and turned to look at Xie Ji.
Then, in Xie Ji's surprised eyes, she hugged his waist: "Xie Ji, you are my only relative. You can't be in any trouble."
Xie Ji's body stiffened, and he looked down at Xie Shizhu's face. His heart felt itchy as if a feather had brushed across it.
He touched Xie Shizhu's cheek with his bloody fingertips and said in a low voice, "Am I the only one who can be a relative?"
