Quickly wear "I am the empress"

After leaving Yan Mansion, Zhiyu took advantage of the night and went to the palace.

In the Chuigong Hall, Zhao Zhen was carefully reviewing memorials by candlelight.

All sounds are silent.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen had no intention of resting, Eunuch Zhang quickly closed his eyes and took a nap.

He is old and not as healthy as he used to be, and he can no longer endure.

Zhiyu sneaked into the Chuigong Hall and quietly walked behind Eunuch Zhang.

She took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom and placed it under Eunuch Zhang's nose. After a while, Eunuch Zhang fell asleep.

Zhiyu caught Eunuch Zhang and put him aside, then looked at the person sitting on the dragon throne.

"Daddy."

Hearing the word "Daddy", Zhao Zhen, who was reviewing memorials, was slightly stunned, and then shook his head. It seemed that his health was still not good recently and he even had auditory hallucinations.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen didn't respond for a long time, Zhiyu shook his head helplessly and called softly, "Daddy."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhen paused while writing and turned away in disbelief.

When he saw Zhiyu standing in the corner, he was stunned in surprise, "An'er, what happened to you?"

Thinking of Yan Shu who had just passed away, Zhiyu looked a little lonely. "After I received my father's letter, I rushed back as fast as I could."

Hearing Zhiyu say this, Zhao Zhen's eyes were filled with pain and distress. "The border is so far from here, why did you rush here alone?"

After that, he stood up and walked towards Zhiyu distressedly, "An'er, I see you look much more haggard."

"Did you eat well along the way?"

Zhiyu raised her hand to stop Zhao Zhen from moving forward, "Dad, don't come over here."

"I came back secretly and couldn't let anyone know."

"This is my blind spot. The guards outside can't see you and will break in."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen paused. After seeing Qing Zhiyu's haggard face, he turned around and instructed the people outside, "Ask the imperial kitchen to prepare some food and send it over."

After hearing Zhao Zhen's order, the eunuch's respectful voice came from the door, "Yes, Your Majesty..."

Zhao Zhen sat back in his original seat, "An'er, have you gone to see your teacher?"

Zhiyu nodded and said somewhat dejectedly: "The Master has gone."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded silently.

Seeing Zhiyu in low spirits, Zhao Zhen sighed.

"An'er, life and death are partings, it's normal in life, don't be too sad."

"People who are alive should always look forward."

"Daddy, I know."

"I've only been away for a few years, but I didn't expect that Daddy has more white hair on his head."

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen subconsciously touched his hair, sighed and shook his head, "Dad is getting old, so naturally he will have more and more white hair."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhiyu with pride, his eyes full of satisfaction, "Although Daddy is old, An'er is growing up."

"One day, An'er will be able to be like his father, to be able to stand on his own and shoulder the responsibility of the world."

Looking at Zhao Zhen, whose face was full of love, Zhiyu sighed in his heart, "Dad, An'er is unfilial. I have made you worry all these years."

Zhao Zhen shook his head, his eyes full of tenderness, "An'er is well-behaved and smart, and has never caused Daddy any worries."

"Daddy is useless. He wanted to make you the crown prince, but he never succeeded..."

"Sir, the food is here."

Just as the father and daughter were talking, the eunuch's cautious voice was heard outside.

Seeing this, Zhiyu quickly tiptoed and jumped out of the window:

"Dad, please let them in."

"I'll go see my sister first and come back for dinner later."

"That's right, Dad."

"It's freezing cold, don't let Eunuch Zhang lie on the ground for too long. Let them take him down to rest."

Seeing Zhiyu's nimble figure disappear from sight, Zhao Zhen shook his head in amusement and said in a good mood, "Bring it in."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen suddenly looked up. He seemed to have forgotten to tell An'er that her sister was promoted to Defei and no longer lived in the previous palace.

After going to Fengyi Pavilion where he used to live with Miao Zhaorong, Zhiyu found nothing.

"System, check where my sister is."

"drop--"

"Under investigation."

"Zhiyu, Madam Miao was promoted to Consort De and moved from Fengyi Palace to Chonghua Palace."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyu turned around and headed towards Chonghua Palace.

Madam Miao always had a regular sleeping schedule, so if nothing unexpected happened, she should have fallen asleep by now.

Sure enough, after arriving at Chonghua Hall, Zhiyu took a look and saw that the candles in the main hall had gone out.

"Zhiyu, I detected that Madam Miao has fallen asleep. Do you still want to go in?"

Zhiyu nodded and quietly climbed in through the window.

The palace maids on duty in the palace were dozing off quietly, and Zhiyu's appearance did not alarm them.

Zhiyu stood in the dark for a moment and took out a purse from his arms.

The purse contained the gems she had collected while away from home.

She hung the purse on the bedpost and made a mark on the bedpost that only she and Madam Miao knew about, and then left quietly.

In the Chuigong Hall.

Seeing that Yu was late in coming.

Zhao Zhen was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles.

When he looked out the window for the twentieth time, he finally saw Zhiyu's figure appear in his sight.

Seeing Zhiyu coming, Zhao Zhen's face lit up with joy. He immediately pushed the memorial aside, opened the lunch box and took out the food inside.

"An'er, come and have dinner."

"You've come all this way, but I don't even know if you've had a hot meal."

"I see you're much thinner than when you left three years ago."

Zhiyu glanced at the extra screen in front of the table, nodded and walked over.

Zhao Zhen consciously gave up the throne and handed the chopsticks to her.

Zhiyu took the chopsticks handed to him by Zhao Zhen, shook his head and said with a smile: "Dad, I'm not thin."

"I just grew taller, so I look thinner."

Zhao Zhen naturally didn't believe what Zhiyu said. He shook his head and sighed, "You've grown up. You have to take care of your health."

"As a monarch, you must be in good health."

"Otherwise, how can I survive those annoying ministers in the court......"

Hearing what Zhao Zhen said, Zhiyu smiled as usual: "Dad, I am not the king yet."

"You should take care of those annoying ministers."

Zhao Zhen's loving gaze fell on Zhiyu, "An'er, do you want to take over the throne now?"

Seeing that Zhao Zhen didn't look like he was joking, Zhiyu quickly took a mouthful of rice to calm himself down, and then said calmly: "Dad, it's difficult for me to even be the crown prince now."

"Not to mention the monarch."

"Besides, aren't you still here, Dad? I'm not in a hurry to take the throne."

Zhao Zhen sighed tiredly, his eyes looking somewhat empty and helpless:

"An'er, Daddy is tired."

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was too depressed, Zhiyu slowed down his eating speed.

"Dad, are you tired of being the emperor?"
