Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

"The Queen is the most beautiful woman in the imperial city, so it's understandable that Yan Qing is obsessed with her."

Zhou Yan suddenly smiled, but his eyes were colder.

A sinister look flashed across Yan Sili's drooping eyelids, but he raised his eyelids without changing his expression, still maintaining his businesslike demeanor.

"Your Majesty, I have no interest in women. It's just that today is the right time. The Marquis Cheng'en's mansion is in turmoil because a concubine poisoned the mistress. I want to personally visit the Marquis Cheng'en mansion at night... So if Your Majesty insists on going to the Pepper Room, I need to make further arrangements."

Thinking of the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion, Zhou Yan's face turned gloomy.

Many clues pointed to Marquis Cheng'en in the case of embezzlement of disaster relief grain, but there was no conclusive evidence. Marquis Cheng'en also had the red seal and iron certificate left by the previous emperor, so he could not easily touch it.

The people are already furious about the disaster relief issue. If the anger cannot be calmed down, it will be detrimental to the stability of the court.

The previous personal eunuch in charge of investigating the case died in the process. Now no one in the court dares to take the case. The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are passing the buck to each other. The only person he can use is Yan Sili.

He is the only one who is the most trustworthy and reliable.

If Yan Sili could find more crucial evidence and calm the public anger, he would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Yan Sili may have feelings for Xizhi, talents like Yan Sili are rare, so we should not alienate him for the time being.

"I am fortunate to have Mr. Yan. Please proceed with your arrangements. If you can find conclusive evidence that the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion embezzled disaster relief funds, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is my duty, and I will do my best."

As soon as Yan Sili finished speaking, Zhou Yan suddenly smiled and said,

"By the way, Yan Qing, are you still not engaged? I remember that you had an engagement that was broken up by the Queen's capriciousness, right? I remember that she was the legitimate daughter of Wei Yin, the Minister of Supplementary Affairs, right? She is indeed a good girl. After this case is concluded, I will grant you a new marriage."

Yan Sili's eyes changed slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. The girls in the Imperial City acted as if they had seen a ghost when they saw me. Miss Wei had already taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, so I don't want to force it."

Zhou Yan's smile did not reach his eyes.

"Yan Qing is not young anymore, it's time for him to get married. With me here, who dares to force it? It's settled. When this case is concluded, I will grant you the marriage."

Yan Sili's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but his face showed no trace of it. He smiled and said,

"Then I thank you, Your Majesty."

......

"Your Majesty, Ruan agreed to go to the imperial study for a full hour before coming out. I guess His Majesty is going to visit her today."

Guyu was washing Xia Xizhi's hair while she was sitting in the bathtub.

"Concubine Zhang is pregnant, and she must be pissed off! Ever since she entered the palace, she's been tormented by Concubine Zhang. Every day, she's asked to pay respects before dawn, and she's been bullied every day. She's also required to serve the Queen Mother every morning and evening. I heard that there's noises of things being smashed every day coming from Ruan's residence.

But Zhangpin has the power to assist in managing the six palaces, and she has the Empress Dowager's support, so she has to endure it even if she doesn't agree. Haha, it really makes her feel better. Your Majesty, why don't you help her control Zhangpin?"

Xia Xizhi smiled, because she knew very well that these things were nothing in Zhou Yan's eyes, and talking too much about them might even disgust him.

She needs to be gentle, kind and non-competitive in order to show her uniqueness.

Unfortunately, in this life she had to start from the lowest level, and she didn't know how long she could endure. This time, when she learned that Zhang Xiuchun was pregnant, her face was obviously about to burst.

It probably won't be long before she takes action...

"Okay, I'm almost done washing. Bring me the towel." Xia Xizhi stretched and prepared to get up.

She was not used to having a maid help her wipe her body, so she wiped it herself every time.

"Oh, look at my brain. I forgot to bring a towel to wipe my body. I will go get it right away." Guyu quickly got up and went out.

As soon as he came out, he saw Zhou Yan who had entered the Pepper Room without being informed. Gu Yu was startled and knelt down quickly.

"Shh! Don't talk. Your Majesty wants to give the Queen a surprise." Shi Fu quickly lowered his voice and warned with a smile.

Zhou Yan walked past her and pushed the door open to enter the room...

.......

"Why so fast?"

Xia Xizhi heard the sound of the door and got up from the wooden barrel. When he turned around, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the person coming. Then he quickly pulled Mu Shi's coat over his body.

Then, concealing the disgust in her eyes, she pretended to be shy and wrapped her clothes tightly around her.

"Your Majesty, why did you come here so suddenly without informing me? I am sorry for your impoliteness..."

When Zhou Yan saw Xia Xizhi's beautiful body flash by, his body suddenly became uncontrollably agitated...

His eyes fell on Xia Xizhi's body wrapped in clothes.

The wet clothes clung to her curves, half-exposing her shoulders and perfectly shaped neck, while her long, wet hair, still drenched in water, occasionally fell around her slender waist...

That stunning face, beneath the wet hair, was as beautiful as a bewitching demon just out of the bath.

Zhou Yan completely lost his mind and slowly walked forward, gradually approaching Xia Xizhi, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Xizhi, you have been wronged. I am here today to give you some compensation."

Looking at Zhou Yan who was gradually approaching, Xia Xizhi's eyes changed.

"Your Majesty, I am not wronged. Can you go out first? I need to put on my clothes. This is against the rules..." Xia Xizhi pretended to be shy and covered her body even tighter.

But I was swearing like crazy inside.

Damn, could it be that his compensation is to sleep with her?!

Judging from the look in his eyes, it should be!

damn thing.

It seems that she pretended too much today and made him fall in love with her!

Damn it, it’s her fault that she’s too charming!

"Xizhi, don't be nervous... In my harem, I am the rule."

As he spoke, Zhou Yan stepped forward, picked up Xia Xizhi and carried him horizontally, then turned around and walked towards the bed.

"Your Majesty! I haven't dried myself yet!" Xia Xizhi exclaimed, grabbing her chest. Her eyes narrowed for a moment, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.

"It's okay, I'll use my dragon robe to help Xizhi dry..."

Zhou Yan ignored her resistance and suddenly pushed Xia Xizhi onto the bed, leaning over to kiss her...
