Song Yan gently hugged her waist, lowered his eyes and stared at the woman's delicate and charming face. His eyes were smiling, his thin lips parted, and his tone was extremely gentle as he said, "I can't bear to let you go."
He simply couldn't imagine what it would be like without Xie Shizhu by his side.
Isn’t it just the country?
If she wants it, just give it to her.
As long as she is willing to stay by his side.
Song Yan held the woman and put her on the bed. Then, as if kissing the most precious treasure, he gently kissed the woman's forehead.
Soon, Song Yan left Shaoyue Palace and ordered the guards to guard the palace day and night, and no one could step in without his permission.
*
In Yifeng Palace, candles were lit all around.
Song Yan sat on one side and picked up the half-remaining handkerchief. The mandarin duck embroidered on it was also chopped off by a sword, leaving only one.
Song Yan laughed mockingly, feeling that his fate and Xie Shizhu's were like that of a pair of mandarin ducks.
However, Song Yan is the person who least believes in fate.
Didn’t he rise to his current position from a deposed king?
Therefore, it was impossible for Xie Shizhu to leave her side.
Yifeng Palace was the palace of his deceased biological mother. He used to be afraid of this place as it was a shadow of his childhood.
But since Xie Shizhu appeared, he was able to stay here calmly.

When Xie Shizhu woke up, it was already the next day. She felt dizzy and groggy, which was obviously a side effect of the medicine she had taken.
She frowned slightly, a look of surprise crossing her face.
How could Song Yan be like this?
However, she soon figured it out.
She had been getting along with Song Yan all the time, and he pretended to be gentle, which made her almost forget what kind of person Song Yan was.
After Xie Shizhu settled down, there were cakes and food on the table not far away.
She said nothing, made no noise, went to dress up first, then sat on a chair, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
System: […I can even eat this!]
After she finished eating, she just walked to the door of the palace when she was stopped by two guards and taken back into the palace.
Xie Shizhu's face was a little gloomy. She took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress her emotions.
*
At night, Song Yan came to Shaoyue Palace.
The man was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and had a tall and slender figure. When he saw Xie Shizhu lying on the couch, he approached slowly.
He hesitated for a moment, untied his robe, took off his clothes, and slowly lay down next to Xie Shizhu.
Then, he turned around and hugged her.
Xie Shizhu opened his eyelids and looked into the man's eyes in the flickering candlelight.
Seeing that she was awake, Song Yan pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Xie Shizhu didn't say anything, and the two of them just stared at each other for a long time.
Finally, Xie Shizhu became a little annoyed, and turned over to press Song Yan under him, biting his chin with his teeth.
A tooth mark was left on the man's smooth and beautiful chin.
After a few seconds, Song Yan's breathing became heavy. He grabbed her head, quickly took the initiative, and leaned over to bully her.
The system looked at the scene of the two people being intimate, shook its head, and said with a tut: [Host, are you trying to score a goal?]
Xie Shizhu: “…”
An hour later, Song Yan fell asleep on her.
Xie Shizhu pushed the man's head away, stood up quickly, and held tightly the token he had taken from Song Yan's waist two hours ago.
Song Yan is not the only one who would plot secretly.
Xie Shizhu took advantage of Song Yan's relaxed vigilance and used the same method to make Song Yan faint.
Xie Shizhu packed up and walked out of the hall with his token.
The guards looked at each other in confusion when they saw the sign in her hand, and without hesitation, they immediately let her out.
Xie Shizhu successfully escaped from Shaole Palace and ran into Song Ye after taking a few steps.
Both of them were stunned when they met.
Song Ye was surprised for a long time when he saw her attire. He whispered, "Sister-in-law, I heard that Beimo is going to fight with Yanguo. Are you preparing to go back?"
Xie Shizhu was silent for a while, then responded, "Yeah."
There is no prince in Beimo, and among the princesses, she is the only one who knows martial arts.
So she had to go back.
Song Ye sighed: "I didn't expect things to develop so quickly. Because my brother didn't take the daughter of the Minister of War into the harem, there is a discord between the two."
"Besides, my brother has only been on the throne for a short time, and he's not the Queen Mother's son..."
She gradually understood what Song Ye said.
This is also the reason why Song Yan has the same idea as her that he doesn't want to have children.
He himself came to the throne as a deposed king, and it would take at least three or four years for him to stabilize the entire court.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame my brother," Song Ye said while observing her expression. "Today, when my brother was attending the morning court, he issued an imperial decree to return the generals at the border between Beimo and Yanguo. It seems that he wants Beimo to win the battle, but this is not a good thing for my brother..."
Song Ye wanted to continue speaking, but the woman in front of her was in tears, so she quickly shut her mouth.
Xie Shizhu wiped away his tears, put on a smile and said, "Okay, I understand. See you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Shizhu quickly passed by Song Ye.
"Sister-in-law..." Song Ye whispered softly as he looked at the woman's thin back.

Xie Shizhu bought a horse and rode all the way towards the northern desert.
It takes at least three days and three nights to get to Beimo.
After one night, it started to rain and snow, and there was no way to go back to Beimo.
This medicine would make Song Yan unconscious for two days and two nights. When he woke up, he wouldn't be able to catch up with her even if he flew.
So, she stayed in the inn for a few hours, and when the rain and snow subsided a little, she could continue on her journey.
Xie Shizhu had no choice but to find an inn nearby to stay.
This is still Yanguo, but it is a relatively remote area.
The waiter took her money, took her upstairs and opened another door.
Xie Shizhu put down his bag and said to the waiter behind him, "I want a plate of stir-fried beef and a pot of osmanthus wine."
The waiter said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
After saying that, the waiter went out and closed the door.
Xie Shizhu sat on the chair, supporting his chin with one hand, his thoughts drifting away.
She didn't expect Song Yan to give up the war with Bei Mo for her.
However, she is not a person who makes trouble.
Even if Song Yan was indifferent, she would not blame him.
Moreover, she must lead Beimo to fight this battle.
The only surprise was that Song Yan didn't keep his word.
While Xie Shizhu was daydreaming, there was a knock on the door. She slowly got up and opened the door.
She had been riding all night and was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back and she felt weak all over. Then she quickly went to get her meal.
When she opened the door, the tall figure outside made her pupils shrink and she subconsciously took two steps back.
The man was wearing a black robe, his eyes were deep and dark, and the lower half of his face was covered, but the familiar aura made her recognize it as Song Yan at a glance.
Xie Shizhu's legs suddenly went weak and his face turned pale with fright.
