Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Yan Ci was lost in thought along the way, and when she came to her senses, she had already arrived at the palace gate. Not far in front of her, stood a straight figure.

Xie Chengyin quietly looked at Yan Ci who was walking slowly towards him, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little bit imperceptibly.

The red and black clothes made him look even more handsome, and his hair was neatly tied up with a golden crown. Unlike his unruly appearance in the past, he looked particularly serious today.

Yan Ci looked around and found that she was the only one on the wide palace road. She knew that Xie Chengyin's eyes were directed at her, so she quickened her pace and walked towards Xie Chengyin.

Walking up to Xie Chengyin, Yan Ci asked, "Have you finished dealing with your business?"

Xie Chengyin was slightly stunned and asked in confusion: "Do you know what happened?"

Yan Ci walked out of the palace with Xie Chengyin, saying as he walked, "I guessed it. I just heard Shen Zhaoyan and Shen Zhaoyi mention it. Is it about His Majesty?"

Speaking of this, Xie Chengyin's expression relaxed a little, but then became worried again. "Your Majesty fainted, but he has woken up. The imperial physician said that it was caused by anger."

Yan Ci looked at Xie Chengyin, only to see that his handsome face was filled with fatigue and his brows were tightly furrowed. He knew that this matter was far more complicated than what Xie Chengyin said.

She keenly noticed that there was something else behind Xie Chengyin's words.

"The imperial physician said so? Do you think there's something fishy going on?"

Xie Chengyin's eyes became more worried. "The last time His Majesty fainted, the imperial physician's diagnosis was the same. It's only been a few months, and this has happened too often."

It is indeed more frequent.

The current Emperor Tianqing is only in his forties, which is the prime of his life. Even if he was really angry, he would not have fainted.

Therefore, it is very likely that there was something wrong with Emperor Tianqing's health that could not be concealed, but it could not be made public, so he could only use anger as an excuse.

Thinking of this, Yan Ci's heart suddenly jumped. If it was really as she thought, then the actual condition of Emperor Qing's body that day was much more serious than its current condition.

No wonder even Shen Zhaoyan, who had already left the palace to set up his own residence, came into the palace, and the palace guards were put under martial law.

This was probably specially set up to prevent any unexpected events from happening in the palace.

At this time, the two of them had already walked up to the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion.

After Qicun informed Xie Chengyin of the news that Yan Ci had entered the palace, he had been waiting here. When he saw Xie Chengyin and Yan Ci coming out together, he bowed respectfully and then welcomed them into the carriage.

The carriage rumbled away from the palace, with two people sitting on the left and right of the carriage.

Xie Chengyin pulled his thoughts away from the affairs of Mingyi Palace. Thinking of the note that he asked Qicun to give to Yan Ci, he couldn't help but think of the affairs of the Eastern Palace.

Yan Ci was thinking about Emperor Tianqing's situation when she heard Xie Chengyin ask her, "You went to the East Palace just now to confirm that the Crown Princess had a miscarriage..."

"The miscarriage is true. Ayun has been pregnant for more than three months."

This answer surprised Xie Chengyin, "Isn't it a fake pregnancy? How could it be?"

Seeing that Xie Chengyin was as surprised as himself, Yan Ci shook his head helplessly and told Xie Chengyin about the situation in Chonghua Palace in detail.

"Now that Ayun is injured, I'm afraid she won't be able to get pregnant again. My cousin, the Crown Prince, is also deeply traumatized. The people behind this are far more ruthless than we thought. If the news that Ayun can't get pregnant again reaches Your Majesty, my cousin's position as Crown Prince will be in jeopardy."

Xie Chengyin looked at Yan Ci with gloomy eyes, "Your Majesty already knows."

"what!"

"Your Majesty's anger was triggered by this incident, so I think this incident is a series of schemes. Not only do they want to seize the position of Crown Prince, but they also want to get that position in one fell swoop."

That position speaks for itself.

If they had not been reborn, they might not be able to see clearly who the person behind the scenes was and what his motives were. However, in the two years since they were reborn, they have slowly seen the true face of the person behind the scenes.

Whoever is the biggest beneficiary is the real person behind the scenes.

The carriage drove all the way to the gate of Yan Mansion. Yan Ci greeted Xie Chengyin and got up and got off the carriage.

After watching Yan Ci enter the gate of Yan Mansion, Xie Chengyin once again ordered Qicun to drive away.

Inside the Yan residence, Jiang Qingqing was sitting in front of the window embroidering a purse. Her needle and thread were going back and forth on the purse, but not a single stitch moved.

Just as she was daydreaming, Chuntao walked in with a smile on her face.

"Madam, Miss Thirteen is back."

Jiang Qingqing paused with her hand holding the needle, threw the purse into the basket, and walked out of the house, heading straight for Liufang Courtyard in a hurry.

As soon as Yan Ci entered the room and sat down, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside. He was about to tell Chunzhi to send the person away when he heard Jiang Qingqing's voice.

"Aci!"

Then a bright figure stepped over the threshold.

Yan Ci stood up and knelt down, "Mom."

Before his knees could bend, Jiang Qingqing had already supported him. It was during this support that Jiang Qingqing saw Yan Ci's right hand wrapped in gauze. Her eyes tightened and she asked with concern, "What's wrong with this hand?"

Yan Ci unnoticeably took his hand back from Jiang Qingqing's and hid it under his sleeve. She smiled and said with her red lips slightly opened: "It's not a big deal, I just accidentally scratched it. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

Jiang Qingqing half-believed and half-doubted, "It's really not a serious injury, but didn't you go to the Qiu family? How did you hurt your hand?"

Yan Ci pulled Jiang Qingqing to sit on the chair, "It was my carelessness, it's no problem, by the way, mother, why did you come in such a hurry?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Qingqing's face changed instantly, "The Ninth Miss came back home a few days ago, saying that she was treated harshly in the palace, and she cried several times at home these few days. I want to ask you, is there any way to help her?"

Yan Ci was stunned. Was Yan Ru being treated harshly in the palace?

With Yan Ru's personality, there are probably not many people who can make her suffer a loss. However, in the palace, it is not the Yan family after all. As a concubine, and with a principal wife above her, it is possible that she will suffer some hardships.

Thinking back to the quarrel between Shen Zhaoyan and Xiao Yizhen that he had heard in the palace some time ago, Xiao Yizhen never gave in at all in the face of Shen Zhaoyan, let alone Yan Ru, who was a concubine.

With Xiao Yizhen's aggressive personality, it is possible that after being offended by Shen Zhaoyan, she would vent her anger on Yan Ru.

It's just that most people who are wronged outside will usually hide it from others for fear of being laughed at and losing face. Yan Ru is an exception. He actually came back to cry and complain in a big way.

Yan Ci held Jiang Qingqing's hand and asked, "Did she say that herself?"

Jiang Qingqing nodded. "She told Aunt Zhao about this, and Aunt Zhao came to me for help. I think they are all your father's daughters. If you have a way, you can do her a favor."

Yan Ci sneered secretly in his heart, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Yan Ru and she have never been very harmonious before. She dares to ask her for help. If she really helps her, will she believe it?

But if she directly refuses to help, we won't know what she is up to, and if this trick doesn't work, she might come up with a new one.

It would be better to use one move to get to the end and save trouble.
