When Xu Yan woke up again, the room was empty. She tried to call a palace maid over, but was blocked by the stinging pain in her throat. She forced herself to walk to the table and poured a cup of tea for herself. As soon as the tea entered her throat, she felt the biting cold, which made her throat even more tingling. She put down the tea and couldn't stop coughing.

Someone outside finally noticed the situation here. Before Xu Yan called her again, she pushed the door and came in. Xu Yan looked at the moonlight shining in outside the door, facing Xia Zhi's calm eyes. Xia Zhi quickly walked to her side and gently patted her back and breathed. After a while, Xu Yan stopped coughing. Xia Zhi did not delay at all, and immediately went out to bring her just warm tea in to serve Xu Yan and drink it.

Xu Yan took a sip and felt the warm and sweet tea flowing into her body. She felt that she had truly come alive. She turned to look at Xia Zhi. Before she could ask, Xia Zhi took the lead and replied: "Sister Yingchun is not here for something, so let me take care of Your Majesty for a few days."

Xu Yan frowned. What can Yingchun do? Her parents died, there was no one at home, and her daily activities were limited to her side. What would she do if she didn't know? But these are still secondary. The most important thing is Xia Zhi's attitude. She has not brought Xia Zhi by her side for only a few months, so she has already gone so clever. I don't know if it was because she had ignored her in the past or the result of her hard work.

Xu Yan no longer asked about Yingchun's whereabouts in front of Xia Zhi. She knew that although Xia Zhi didn't say it, she should have minded it. After all, she and Yingchun were the only two people who were promoted to first-class palace maids back then. Even the early autumn and Shuangjiang were just second-class palace maids. But now Yingchun is the recognized palace maid in charge around her, and she can go to the morning court with her; while Xia Zhi still only has the title of a first-class palace maid and has no real power.

But what Xu Yan didn't expect was that before she said anything, Xia Zhi spoke out the question she had just swallowed: "Your Majesty, don't worry about Sister Yingchun. Before she left, she told me not to let her private affairs affect Your Majesty's mood."

Xu Yan choked speechlessly again, looking at Xia Zhi's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and thought in his heart that if she had brought Xia Zhi with her when she was dumb, wouldn't it be a lot of trouble? But now she just replied indifferently: "I know." Since Yingchun was unwilling to say more, it would be meaningless to ask her again. But where did Liang Yu go? Just as she stretched her neck and looked around, Xia Zhi once again expressed her thoughts:

"His Majesty King Liang left two hours ago. He asked me to tell you that something urgent happened in his palace and he needed to rush back to deal with it immediately. He also told you not to worry, and he would rush back to Xu Country immediately after he had solved it."

Xu Yan swallowed the words she wanted to ask. For some reason, she always felt a little scared when she looked at Xia Zhi, who was so precautionary. She responded casually a few times and then said, "Forget it, they always want to return to their own lives. It is impossible for them to always revolve around Gu. Gu did not have to worry about them. They were all very smart, so there was no need for me to worry about."

After saying that, she looked at Xia Zhi and continued, "How long have you been sleeping alone?" Xia Zhi did not look up and replied respectfully, "It's not long, it's only five or six hours." Xu Yan couldn't help but smack her tongue when she heard it. She usually rarely sleeps, maybe because of the morning court, so even if she wants to sleep for a while, she will be awakened by the biological clock.

She touched her hair speechlessly, and after seeing the dark Ye in the afterglow, she said to Xia Zhi: "How long is it before morning court? Should I wash up and prepare to go to court?" Xia Zhi, who had always spoke quickly, was stuck at this time. Under Xu Yan's puzzled gaze, she took a deep breath and said to Xu Yan: "Your Majesty will not have to go to court again for a long time from today."

Xia Zhi's words were so stupid that they aroused Xu Yan's vigilance. She looked around the quiet and then looked back at Xia Zhi and said, "What's wrong? What do you mean?" Xia Zhi smiled bitterly and said, "What I said is just literal." After saying that, she slowly knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Yan. The crisp sound was particularly obvious in the quiet night: "I wish Your Majesty peace and your Majesty's blessing."

If the words Xia Zhi just said were illogical, then the words now would make people feel cold. This sincere blessing was placed on this extremely cold night, which made people feel terrifying for no reason. Xu Yan looked at Xia Zhi who was still kneeling down and realized that during the period of her sleep, some things might be changing quietly.

She held the cup in her hand tightly, with a trembling voice that she had never noticed, and said to Xia Zhi: "What do you mean?" Xia Zhi did not answer, and Xu Yan also learned the answer from her silence. Xia Zhi has never been a person of such a temperament. If one day she changes her temperament, someone must be controlling her words and deeds behind her back. If she guessed correctly, her every move was being monitored at this moment.

Xu Yan tried hard to keep herself calm, and then asked Xia Zhi patiently: "What do you mean by saying that you don't have to go to court?" I asked this question twice, the first time was asked without any warning, and Xia Zhi naturally would not tell her the answer. But this second time...

Xia Zhi's voice came low: "Your Majesty has been in a coma for several days, and the power of the court has changed hands. At this time, the minister in charge of the country is Taifu Yun." When Xu Yan heard this, he was so dark that he was about to faint again immediately. Didn't she arrange Wen Liang? Why was she still taken away by that old man?

Before she could ask, she saw Xia Zhi breathing a sigh of relief. Seeing this, she knew that it was probably the person who was surveillance behind the scenes who had left. Xia Zhi did not dare to delay for a minute. She immediately stepped forward and said to Xu Yan: "Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Yun incited several important ministers to stand in his sect. They made a fuss for two or three days. Seeing that His Majesty had not yet made a comeback, they thought His Majesty had agreed to their request, so..."

Xu Yan suddenly grabbed the point of her words: "What do you mean by their request?"

Xia Zhi bit his lips and said angrily: "They forced His Majesty to give up the power of the country to Yun Lang, otherwise they would resign. Unexpectedly, His Majesty was in a coma for those days, and Lord Wenliang was in a weak position. Even if the Minister of Works was backing him, he could not match the position of those powerful ministers in the court. So in desperation, Lord Wenliang had to give up his position and give up the thief Yun Lang for nothing!"
