Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

An Yi nodded. Indeed, if he intentionally hid the news, no matter how powerful their spies were, they would not be able to find him.

"Keep a close eye on Prime Minister Gao's residence and his cronies, and also keep a close eye on Xiliang. The intentions of each country coming to the capital this time are not simple. They are all evildoers, each with their own magical powers. We cannot let our guard down at all." Xiao Jingzhan put down the memorial in his hand, leaned back on the dragon chair, frowned, and said in a deep voice.

"Send a message to Wu Qingfeng, asking him to keep an eye on everyone who enters the capital recently, especially the people from Xiliang and Gao Xiang." Xiao Jingzhan said lazily.

"The one who came to the capital from Xiliang this time is the eldest prince. I am an old acquaintance of this eldest prince. He is vicious and scheming, and does things without considering the consequences. He is a difficult character. This time he came here, I think, to form an alliance with Prime Minister Gao to resolve the humiliation of the past and to increase grain production. Keep a close eye on everyone he comes into contact with." Xiao Jingzhan said casually, but An Yi was a little confused.

"Your Majesty, why don't you keep the matter of the grain seeds secret? This way you can save a lot of trouble." An Yi was a little puzzled as to why His Majesty had sent troops to Yangzhou to obtain grain seeds. This would be like announcing it to the world, and many people would come and take possession of the grain.

“The matter of grain will be announced to the world sooner or later. Now that it has been spread so early, I should take advantage of this banquet to invite the future rulers of various countries to come to the capital, so that I can know what they are thinking. The battle with Prime Minister Gao is imminent. If they don’t come, how can I know if they will shoot arrows from behind. Grain seeds are a bait. As long as the bait is big enough, it is more than enough to catch big fish.” Xiao Jingzhan looked at the darkening sky with a sharp gaze and curled the corners of his lips.

Then he waved at An Yi again.

No one else can even covet a single grain of grain, as it is the lifeline of the people in his country. He can plant this grain extensively and well in his country in one day.

When An Yi heard this, a light flashed in his eyes. It turned out that this was what his master was planning. Although they had spies distributed in various countries, they had no way of knowing anything too confidential. Now, His Majesty has put everyone under his nose, and there is a huge temptation ahead. If they make the slightest movement, the master will be able to find out. There is nothing in the capital that His Majesty doesn't know.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." An left in a flash, and Eunuch Li, who was guarding outside the hall, walked in.

"Your Majesty, please go to bed." Li Defu walked forward and looked at the Majesty who was leaning on the dragon throne looking a little tired, and asked softly.

"Go to Yaohua Palace." Xiao Jingzhan's eyebrows moved slightly. He and Yanyan were obviously in the palace, but they had too little time to be together.

She was busy with the affairs of the harem, and he was busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty. Xiao Jingzhan didn't like this feeling very much.

We finally got together, but we didn't have much time to spend together.

In Yaohua Palace, Shen Yanyan took a bath to relieve her fatigue from the day. She accidentally fell asleep in the bathtub. When the water became cold, Shen Yanyan was woken up by the cold.

She stepped out of the bathtub, changed into pajamas and walked towards the inner room.

"A-choo... A-choo... A-choo." Shen Yanyan sneezed three times in a row and muttered, "Who is thinking about me!"

As soon as Xiao Jingzhan stepped into the inner room, he saw her sneezing several times.

"How did you catch a cold?" Xiao Jingzhan took a few steps forward, looked at the wet hair still dripping on her chest, and frowned.

How can you not take care of yourself?

Shen Yanyan turned around and looked at him when she heard the footsteps. She thought it was Xia Zhu.

"I didn't catch a cold. I just fell asleep in the bath and the water became cold, so I felt chilled. It's okay." Shen Yanyan turned around and looked at him, explaining softly.

Xiao Jingzhan didn't say anything. He walked to the side hall skillfully, came out with a familiar handkerchief, pulled her over to sit in front of the dressing table, and wiped her hair skillfully.

"Why don't you let the palace servants serve you? What if you catch a cold? And as for your hair, I asked your two maids to dry it for you when I was not around. It's already autumn, and you're still walking around with wet hair. Do you think you're in too good of a good health?" Xiao Jingzhan's tone was a little stern, but Shen Yanyan could hear some concern in it.

Listening to his rambling, Shen Yanyan didn't feel annoyed and said softly, "I don't like others serving me. I'm not used to it."

Xiao Jingzhan wanted to say something, but paused when the words came to his lips.

Xiao Jingzhan stood behind her and wiped her hair, then he skillfully took the wooden comb and combed her beautiful hair.

Her hair was as smooth as silk, and every strand was smooth and delicate, without a trace of roughness or split ends, and was well maintained. When he gently touched her hair, his fingers seemed to slide across a soft and smooth silk, and he couldn't let it go.

Shen Yanyan yawned while sitting in front of the bronze mirror, turned around and hugged Xiao Jingzhan's lean waist, rubbed her head against his abdominal muscles, and said softly, "I'm sleepy."

Xiao Jingzhan looked down at Shen Yanyan who was holding him, acting like a little pink and white fox. His eyes darkened, his heart softened, and his throat felt inexplicably dry. He bent down, picked her up, and walked towards the bed.

Xiao Jingzhan placed her gently on the bed, his eyes full of tenderness and affection.

He lowered his head and kissed her slowly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

His kiss was soft and delicate, brushing her lips lightly like a feather.

She felt his warmth and love, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart. She closed her eyes slightly and responded to his kiss. Their lips and teeth were attached to each other, as if they were telling each other their thoughts.

Xiao Jingzhan's hand gently stroked her face, his fingers stroked her skin, and her smooth skin exuded a faint fragrance that was intoxicating.

In the silent inner room, there was only the sound of two people entangled with each other.

After a while, Shen Yanyan pushed Xiao Jingzhan's chest, stared into his eyes, panted slightly, and rang out in a soft voice: "You haven't washed up yet!"

Xiao Jingzhan was pushed away and looked at her blankly. As he listened to her words, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face. He raised his hand and stroked her slightly red lips, then lowered his head and took a big bite, then pulled away.

Xiao Jingzhan walked to the door, opened the door of the inner room, and ordered outside: "Prepare a bucket of cold water." After that, he walked into the inner room without looking back.

Eunuch Li was puzzled. It was autumn and the nights were a bit cold, so why did His Majesty want to take a cold bath?

Xiao Jingzhan walked to the table and poured himself a cup of cold tea, which relieved some of the heat in his heart.

After a while, Eunuch Li ordered two people to carry the water into the inner room and side hall, and then led everyone to retreat.

Xiao Jingzhan slowly walked into the inner room and stepped into the cold water. There was no expression on his face, as if the cold water had no effect on him. He sat quietly in the water, letting the cold water cover his body.

Soaking in the cold water, the heat in my heart and body slowly subsided.

He underestimated her attraction to him. If she hadn't pushed him away just now, he might really not have been able to control himself.
