Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Xiao Jingzhan took a long cold shower in the bathroom before he calmed himself down.

Shen Yanyan, lying on the bed, tried hard to resist sleepiness and waited for him to come out.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time and have been very busy recently. Although they are both in the palace, now is a critical period and the two do not have much time to spend together. This time, I want to have a good talk with him.

Xiao Jingzhan walked out of the side hall. His hair was wet and his body was still emitting a faint moisture. Looking at Shen Yanyan who was yawning on the bed but had not fallen asleep, Xiao Jingzhan's eyes softened.

When Shen Yanyan saw him come out, she wisely rolled to the inside of the bed.

"You finally came out. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Shen Yanyan said with a hint of fatigue in her voice.

Xiao Jingzhan listened to her soft tone, and the heat that he had just suppressed showed signs of reviving again.

He suppressed the strangeness in his heart, used his inner strength to dry his hair, and walked towards the bed.

He knew that he had been too busy recently and had neglected her. He walked to the bed, opened the quilt, lay on the outside, and pulled her into his arms.

Shen Yanyan shuddered and said, "It's so cold, don't come near me." Then she struggled out of his arms and moved inside.

Xiao Jingzhan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He just dried his hair and took a cold bath for a long time. It was indeed a bit cold on this autumn night.

Xiao Jingzhan then used his internal energy to drive away the coldness from his body, then domineeringly pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly, and whispered, "Don't move, let me hug you." There was a hint of pleading in his tone.

Shen Yanyan felt his embrace and felt a warmth in her heart and stopped struggling.

"Yanyan, I'm sorry for neglecting you during this period of time." Xiao Jingzhan said in her ear.

Shen Yanyan raised her head and looked at Xiao Jingzhan, with a gleam in her eyes, "It's okay, I know you have a lot of things to deal with."

Xiao Jingzhan lowered his head and kissed Shen Yanyan's forehead, "Once you understand what's going on in the palace, I'll always be with you."

"Yeah, okay." Shen Yanyan felt a warm feeling in her heart. She put her hands on his waist, buried her face in his solid chest, and rubbed it.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at her furry head rubbing against his chest, a gleam of fire flashed in his eyes, and then he pulled her face away, "Don't move, don't you want to sleep?"

Shen Yanyan listened to his gnashing of teeth, then she lay still obediently, leaning quietly in his arms.

"Thank you for your hard work on my birthday today." Xiao Jingzhan looked at the faint blue color under her eyes and felt a little distressed.

Speaking of this, Shen Yanyan became excited. She stepped back from his arms, looked up at him and began to complain, "Yes, yes, there are so many things to do in the palace. Take this birthday banquet for example, why are there so many people? There are so many things to arrange, and I have to keep track of them myself. It's so hard for me." After Shen Yanyan finished speaking, she looked at him with her beautiful wet eyes, appearing aggrieved and pitiful.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at her lowered lips and raised them, "Is it really so hard?" Little girl, do you want to leave the palace again? He knew what she was going to do with just one look on her face!

Shen Yanyan nodded heavily. Isn't that right? "I've worked so hard, so you should give me a little reward!"

Xiao Jingzhan raised his hand and pinched her soft cheek, rubbed it again, and said lovingly and helplessly: "What do you want?"

"Um, I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it later when I think about it." Shen Yanyan thought about it and decided that she wanted to leave the palace, but now was a time of troubled times, so she should stay in the palace.

"Oh, really not?" Xiao Jingzhan thought she would bring up the matter of the palace, but she actually said to wait until later. Her eyes turned slightly, and he guessed what she was thinking, and tightened his hand around her waist.

How lucky he was to meet her.

"Okay, then let's wait until later. No matter what you want, I will satisfy you." Xiao Jingzhan's voice was steady and gentle. He said "I". He promised her as an emperor that he would agree to anything.

But what Xiao Jingzhan didn't know was that when he later wanted to take her to every corner of this continent, she was no longer by his side.

"Okay!" Shen Yanyan replied excitedly.

Xiao Jingzhan told her about the diplomatic mission again. She was the highest-ranking concubine in the palace and would accompany him to birthday banquets in the future. It would not hurt for her to know something about the situations in various countries.

The two were discussing the various delegations coming to Beijing. Xiao Jingzhan's topic turned to the war god of Beidi, and a hint of admiration and vigilance was revealed in Xiao Jingzhan's eyes.

"The God of War of Beidi is famous, his bravery and tactics are amazing. This man will definitely be the ruler of Beidi in the future." Xiao Jingzhan's voice was low and powerful.

Shen Yanyan nodded slightly, with a hint of thought in her eyes: "It sounds like he is a big shot. The people from various countries who came to congratulate this time are not simple. It seems that they are all here for potatoes."

Xiao Jingzhan continued, "Well, the Great Prince Helianfu of Beidi and the Great Prince Murong Yao of Xiliang are not easy to deal with, especially this Murong Yao. He is vicious and cunning, and is a tough opponent."

Shen Yanyan frowned and said worriedly: "You two know each other, you seem to be very familiar with him?"

"When I entered the border three years ago, he was the leader of the Xiliang army. He is a man who will do anything to achieve his goals and is very difficult to deal with." Xiao Jingzhan thought of his past behavior and felt that it was not a good thing for this man to come to Beijing.

He is smart, resourceful, and skilled in martial arts, and can be said to be both civil and military. However, he is extremely cruel. Even though he does not have a powerful maternal family, he still has the same status and military power in Xiliang as the second prince Murong Yi, who has a powerful maternal family and is the legitimate son. This shows how cruel he is.

"If the Queen of Beiliang had not framed him three years ago for being afraid that his high position and power would affect the position of Murong Yi's successor, I would not have been able to defeat him so easily. The two states of Yan and You have always been a concern for him, and this time he will not come to the capital simply for grain seeds." The collusion between Prime Minister Gao and Xiliang has been going on for a long time, and they will definitely not miss such a good opportunity to enter the capital this time.

Shen Yanyan became a little worried when she heard this. If her brother confronted this man at the border, wouldn't it be very dangerous?

"My brother is also at the border, and he will definitely run into this guy then."

Xiao Jingzhan looked at her worried face, raised his hands to hold her face, and spoke softly, "Don't worry, I've seen your brother's record on the border, he's a rare talent as a general. Even though Murong Yao is powerful, your brother is not a pushover, not to mention that General Cheng is with him in Cangzhou, he'll be fine."

Shen Zhimo is her biological brother and he is capable. He will be the queen's biological brother in the future, so naturally he will pay more attention to him.
