He frowned and saw that the woman beside him had already sat up and was looking outside. “What’s going on?”

Zhang Shi quickly restrained the irritation that flashed in her eyes.

When she lowered her head to look at Emperor Yan, her eyes were filled with tenderness.

“It’s fine, have a good rest. I’ll handle it.” She said gently.

Emperor Yan’s furrowed brows finally relaxed.

Feeling exhausted, he closed his eyes.

Zhang Shi’s eyes flashed with gloominess as she got off the bed.

What a good-for-nothing. Someone actually made a ruckus in the middle of the night.

“Your Majesty! Yu’er have something to report! It is related to Your Majesty’s health! Your Majesty!” At this moment, a sharp voice came from outside.

Emperor Yan, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

Then, he sat up.

When Zhang Shi turned around, she saw this scene.

At this moment, Emperor Yan’s eyes were gloomy. He was completely different from before when he was immersed in her beauty, giving Zhang Shi a fright.

“Bring her in.” Before Zhang Shi could recover from her shock, she heard Emperor Yan say in a deep voice.

“Yes.” Zhang Shi quickly regained her senses and agreed with a face full of fear.

Then, she walked out of the hall with a perturbed heart.

At this moment, Lady Yu had already been caught and gagged. She was being held up by the guards and was about to be thrown out.

When Zhang Shi saw this situation, she frowned.

What a bunch of trash. Only now do they restrain her.

“Stop!” Even though she was unwilling, Zhang Shi still stopped them.

The guards put Lady Yu down.

“Mistress…” The eunuch saw Zhang Shi and quickly ran over to her.

“This woman has disturbed Mistress. Her crime is-”

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Shi shot him a look and the eunuch shut his mouth.

It was over, he had indeed disturbed the Mistress and the Emperor.

Zhang Shi shifted her gaze from the eunuch to Lady Yu.

“The emperor wants to see you. Come with me.”

Lady Yu was delighted.

She quickly walked towards Zhang Shi.

After they got closer, the two of them saw each other’s faces clearly.

The result was shocking.

However, it was only for a moment before the two of them quickly looked away.

Zhang Shi turned around first and entered the inner hall.

She had been nurtured by Prince Anyang and had seen the portrait of Consort Shu, even in real life. Naturally, she knew the meaning of her existence.

As for the person behind her, she might not have been sure just now, but now she was sure of her identity.

She was indeed so…

To think that she had been somewhat complacent these two days, thinking that she could charm the Emperor not only by relying on her appearance similar to Consort Shu…

Forget it, her thoughts were not on that old man anyway.

Lady Yu hurriedly followed.

The moment she saw Zhang Shi, some of the thoughts in her mind also completely scattered.

Back then, when she was favored, there were rumors in the palace that it was because she looked a little like Consort Shu who had passed away in the palace.

She had always scoffed at this.

After seeing Consort Shu’s portrait, although she had some suspicions, she did not take it seriously.

But just now, the moment she saw Zhang Shi, she almost thought that she was Consort Shu.

If one were to say that her appearance was two to three points similar to Consort Shu, Zhang Shi looked almost exactly the same as her.

No wonder Zhang Shi was able to captivate the Emperor so quickly.

Consort Shu…was doted on back then because of that…

At this moment, Lady Yu was a little unwilling in his heart, but she was more relieved.

This was good too. After she recognized the reality, she would be more convinced of her loss.

After a while, Lady Yu followed Zhang Shi into the inner hall.

Emperor Yan had already gotten up from the bed, but he did not leave. Instead, he sat on the edge of the bed domineeringly.

“Your Majesty.” Without waiting for Zhang Shi to speak, Lady Yu had already quickly stepped forward and bowed to Emperor Yan.

Seeing Lady Yu, Emperor Yan looked up.

“It’s you?” He said with some displeasure.

He knew this woman. Her eyes and brows looked like Wanyue. He thought she was not bad, so he spoiled her for a while.

These few days, because Zhang Shi entered the palace, he forgot about her and did not care about her anymore.

She was quite bold to come here in the middle of the night.

Lady Yu sensed Emperor Yan’s displeasure and her body could not help but tremble.

She couldn’t believe that the man opposite her was actually the Emperor who had been sweet talking to her and doting on her.

But with the shock of seeing Zhang Shi, she quickly calmed down.

“Please forgive me for disturbing Your Majesty in the middle of the night because I have something to report.” Lady Yu quickly knelt down.

“When I learned of this, I could not wait anymore. Please forgive me.” After saying that, Lady Yu kowtowed to Emperor Yan..
