Chapter 173 The Regent's Next Princess 81
Gu Yichen took her hand, kissed her face, and said in an ambiguous voice, "Just help me with your hands."

……

When it was over, Shen Qiuyue felt her hands were sore.

Gu Yichen got out of bed and took a handkerchief to help her wipe her hands. Shen Qiuyue was so shy that she wanted to get under the bed.

"Are you shy?" Gu Yichen couldn't help teasing her.

Shen Qiuyue rubbed her hands on the quilt, "Don't take so long next time, your hands are sore."

"That can't be helped." Gu Yichen went to bed and hugged her into his arms, his tone very confident.

Shen Qiuyue muffled in his arms and asked, "How is the emperor's health?"

"It's hard to say." Gu Yichen said, "If you can't make it through, I'm afraid the emperor will only be able to do it for a few days."

"Sigh." Shen Qiuyue sighed, although she only met the emperor a few times, in her opinion, the emperor is still a very amiable elder, maybe he is not a good emperor, but he is a good elder.

"Okay, don't think so much, go to sleep." Gu Yichen held her head against his chest.

Shen Qiuyue closed her eyes, laying her pillow on his chest, and gradually fell asleep listening to his heartbeat.

When she woke up the next morning, Gu Yichen had already left. She stretched out her hand to feel the cold place where Gu Yichen slept yesterday. Shen Qiuyue sighed silently. It seemed that Gu Yichen had left early.

Gu Yichen stayed in the palace for three days this time, and when Gu Yichen returned to the palace three days later, he seemed not at all energetic. Seeing Gu Yichen's appearance, Shen Qiuyue had already guessed something. Gu Yichen hadn't come back for three whole days, plus Such a distraught look.

"Is the emperor..." Shen Qiuyue asked tentatively.

"Well," Gu Yichen said with a wry smile, "The emperor has passed away."

Although she had known for a long time that it would end like this, Shen Qiuyue still couldn't help being a little sad after hearing that the emperor passed away.

Seeing her depressed mood, Gu Yichen stepped forward to hold her in his arms, squeezed her ears to comfort her, "Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, don't be too sad."

"En." Shen Qiuyue said sullenly, "The emperor is dead, and the future court struggle is about to begin."

The emperor passed away, and the whole country mourned for three days. Then the crown prince Gu Yifeng ascended the throne and became the new emperor.

Gu Yifeng's weak character is known to all civil and military officials in the court, and the officials in the court have a lot of dissatisfaction with Gu Yifeng, so even if the new emperor Gu Yifeng ascends the throne, he still cannot completely control the court situation, and the court is heavy. The family has been in business for so many years, and the influence is naturally deep-rooted. Due to helplessness, Gu Yifeng sometimes has to succumb to the influence of the Shen family.

The court and the harem are originally one. Not only are the courts fighting openly and secretly, but the harem is also turbulent. The most eye-catching thing in the harem now is the struggle between the empress and Concubine Wen. In addition, not only the daily rewards continued, but also let her live in the Liuli Palace. The Liuli Palace has always been the palace where the noble concubine lives, but Wen Yi lived in the Liuli Palace as a concubine. The concubine is being favored.

As the saying goes, a big tree attracts the wind, especially for Wen Yi, she is the daughter of the prime minister, and the prime minister and Shen Zhenyuan have always been in a state of hostility, which means that both the queen and the queen mother regard her as an enemy, and people in the palace have always followed suit. Concubine Wen has a strong background, and the other is the emperor's new favorite. Everyone in the palace also stood in two teams. On the one hand, they were afraid of the power of the Shen family, but on the other hand they did not dare to offend the emperor. Therefore, the struggle between the empress and Concubine Wen became more intense. Rather than saying that the empress and concubine Wen are fighting, it is better to say that the Shen family is fighting with the new emperor.
