Xu Yan took a sip of the tea handed over by Yingchun, rubbed his eyebrows, and looked at the remaining memorials on the table again. Without saying anything, he took one from the pile of memorials as high as a hill to start reviewing.

Yingchun, who was standing behind her, looked at her appearance, and then looked at the dark night outside, and couldn't help but say to Xu Yan: "Your Majesty, it's late at night. Why not go and rest for a while, and then I will ask you to get up and comment on these memorials later."

Xu Yan shook his head and continued to dip ink, and kept reviewing and reading: "If you go to rest now, you will sleep like last time. Before you know it, you will fall asleep until the morning court. You will definitely not wake up the orphan, worrying about being tired. But if these comments are not approved and saved tomorrow, you will not know how much things will be done tomorrow."

Yingchun heard Xu Yan's words, although she knew the ending, she couldn't help but advise again: "But Your Majesty, you have been so diligent in the past six years. Even after going to court, you are still busy with the government affairs and have not had a good rest. What did you say last time that Pingyuan said you have forgotten all of you? Occasionally, you have to give yourself time to rest. If you are really tired, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

Xu Yan's hand was writing, his eyes were a little distracted. Six years have passed? Is it already six years? What happened in those years has been so far away from her, but she didn't feel it at all. In these six years, she has been repeating her life the day before every day. She has been doing it day by day, giving to the country she guards and the people. She is like a walking corpse, with no destination or people walking with her.

Fortunately, she could use her last little use to do something to the people of this country. She did not answer the words of Yingchun and opened the next memorial again.

That night, the lights in the imperial study were still brightly lit.

When Xu Yan finished commenting on the memorials in front of him, he specifically asked Yingchun next to him how long it would take to get the morning court. Yingchun was blessed with a blessed body and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, there is still one more time. Why don't you get up and go back to the bedroom and take a nap now?"

Xu Yan nodded and asked Yingchun to go down and prepare. The reason why she wanted to go back to the bedroom was not because she wanted to rest, but because today was the day when He Xun sent her news. Thinking of the news he brought back for her last time, Xu Yan couldn't help but frown.

The distance between the Imperial Study Room is not far from the bedroom, and she arrived soon. Even though she had been the empress for six years, she still couldn't get used to the life of having to serve everyone. She had no elders to restrain her, so fortunately she kept living according to her temperament.

The same is true tonight. After she knocked Yingchun and others down, she closed the door of the hall. In the hall, He Xun had no idea how long he had been waiting here.

Hearing Xu Yan's movement of opening the door, He Xun subconsciously stood up from the stool and knelt in front of Xu Yan to salute. Xu Yan waved his hand and asked him to get up. Even though she knew it was useless to say it, she still couldn't help but nag: "It's said that you don't have to salute when you see an orphan, why can't you remember it all?"

He Xun scratched his head embarrassedly. Seeing Xu Yan's salute was deeply engraved into his muscle memory. As long as he saw Xu Yan, he would not help but do so. He also wanted to try hard to control himself, but found that it was useless at all.

Xu Yan didn't want to be entangled with him in such a small matter. She poured himself a cup of tea, and sat down casually and said to him: "Tell me, are there any new gains? The last time... is there any conclusive evidence?"

He Xun nodded and looked serious: "There was news from the Liang Kingdom a few days ago that he wanted to join forces with His Majesty to deal with the traitor Liang Yu. I wonder what Your Majesty meant?"

Xu Yan didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain. She raised her eyebrows and had an interest in her eyes: "Oh, it's really strange. Didn't the father and son always look down on others and think that no one can beat their Liang Kingdom? Why can't even beat Liang Yu?"

He Xun didn't say anything. He understood that Xu Yan was just teasing. Several countries had heard of Liang Yu's strength. They were all watching the fire from the other side and watching Liang's domestic fights. In this case, it was wise to not stand on either side. He Xun felt that Xu Yan should also make the same choice as the monarchs of several other countries.

But what he never expected was that Xu Yan actually replied firmly: "Tell them that he is standing alone on Liang Yu's side." He Xun did not react at all when he heard Xu Yan's words. He even doubted whether there was something wrong with his ears.

It was Xu Yan who called him out loud that he came back to his senses. He Xun hurriedly saluted Xu Yan and concealed his just disobedience. He Xun said to Xu Yan hesitantly: "Your Majesty, is this decision too hasty? After all, the Southern Kingdoms of the Western Regions and other countries have not made a clear statement. Moreover, the two of them are now the rulers of Liang. They publicly support a person who is currently recognized as a traitor in Liang State. The ministers in the court will not agree."

Xu Yan curled his lips and said to He Xun, "You don't understand this, right? Gu believes that although that boy Liang Yu looks a bit unreliable, he will not be vague when he really does things. Since he is ready for rebellion, he will definitely not lose. Now that he supports him now, when he ascends the throne in the future, the benefits to Xu State will definitely not be less."

He Xun heard Xu Yan's tone and obviously did not consider the possibility that Liang Yu would fail. However, he still chose to shut up his mouth and not speak in this situation. According to his experience with her in the past six years, Xu Yan would never easily change his ideas because of other people's suggestions. He Xun did not intend to get too involved in this issue. In short, there were still people in the court who restrained Xu Yan.

So He Xun nodded, paused and continued: "There is another thing, the last time there was a new progress. My subordinates found that a painter was painting a flower scene next to Liuhu Lake, and he happened to paint the appearance of the young master."

Xu Yan looked at him with a burning look. The joy on her face could not be suppressed, and she hurriedly asked He Xun: "Where is that painting? Have you brought it? Have you seen it in advance? Is it him?"

He Xun was a little overwhelmed by Xu Yan's series of questions, so he could only pick up the questions he still remembered and answered: "I bought this painting back. The young master in this painting is indeed somewhat similar to that person, but I haven't seen him for many years, so I can't be sure of the person in this painting for a while..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Yan stood in front of him, staring at him with bright eyes, stretching out his hand and said, "Where is the painting? Where is the painting?"

He Xun looked at Xu Yan like this, and suddenly his ears turned red, and his words became even more stuttering: "Give it to your Majesty." As soon as his hand was stretched out, Xu Yan took away the things in his hand. He looked at Xu Yan who turned around and went back to dismantle the paintings, and his heart was almost overwhelmed: So cute, Your Majesty is really cute!

After Xu Yan opened the painting, she frowned and observed the elegant young man in white clothes in the painting. She looked at him horizontally and vertically but did not meet him with the person in her memory. Somehow, there was a faint voice in her heart that told her that this person was not him. Even after six years, she could clearly know that this was not him.

She sighed and threw the painting at He Xun who was standing aside in a daze and said, "Come on, check it out, it's not him." He Xun was stunned for a moment, picked up the painting, and then stepped back.

At the same time, Chen Qingmo looked at the mature and steady man in front of him, rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you really plan to see her? If you don't see her again, you'll be afraid that you will not be able to hold on to the talent show. Don't regret it then."
