Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

"Stop it," Shen Yanyan shouted, and both sides stopped fighting.

When the rebels saw that Gao Xiang and the King of Wu had been captured, they all stopped.

On the wide square, a thrilling palace riot finally came to an end.

The King of Wu and Prime Minister Gao, two people who once held great power, were now prisoners. Their eyes were filled with disbelief, as if they could not accept that they had been defeated so easily.

The King of Wu opened his eyes wide and stared straight ahead, his face full of anger and unwillingness.

He couldn't understand why he was defeated by a woman. And why there were so many reinforcements, their rebellion ended just after it began.

Gao Xiang looked depressed and desperate.

His body was trembling slightly and the muscles on his face were twisted, as if he was in great pain.

He was a powerful official in the court, able to call the wind and rain and do everything, but now he has lost everything.

Power, status, and wealth all vanished in an instant.

"Take them all away," Shen Yanyan wiped the blood off her face with an expressionless face.

"Yes," Zheng Jing bowed and led the two men away.

Shen Yanyan glanced at Wu Qingfeng and said, "The rest is up to you." As soon as she finished speaking, she walked towards the Yangxin Palace.

The unrest in the capital and the palace had been resolved, but she was now worried about her brother who was far away in the western border.

Li Chenyan had set out with his army for three days. News came from the western border that Xiliang had repeatedly invaded the border long before Xiao Jingzhan claimed to be ill and did not attend court. The war was imminent and the chaos had just begun.

Xiliang, who are eyeing the country with all their might, will not stop there. Their purpose has never been to agree with Prime Minister Gao, but they really want to go to war with Li State. Otherwise, Xiao Jingzhan would not have sent 150,000 troops to the border.

In the Yangxin Palace, Shen Yanyan looked at the sleeping Xiao Jingzhan and sighed.

Only a few days had passed in January, and it would take a long time for him to wake up. The situation was changing day by day, and she always felt uneasy.

At this time, on the other side, outside the capital.

Shen Tingjiang looked at Zheng Yuechuan, who was dusty and dressed in iron armor, and stepped forward and bowed.

"General Zheng, you've worked hard." Shen Tingjiang looked at the pile of rebel corpses behind him and secretly felt fortunate that His Majesty had foresight and arranged everything. Otherwise, they would not be able to stop the King of Wu's 50,000 cavalry no matter what.

"Lord Shen is too polite. It's all for His Majesty." Zheng Yuechuan dismounted and bowed in the direction of the imperial palace in the capital.

"General, please make the arrangements and follow me into the palace."

"Okay. Wait for a moment." Zheng Yuechuan looked around and walked towards the position of the deputy general in the army.

After giving some instructions, he followed Shen Tingjiang into the palace.

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Wu Qingfeng, Zheng Jing and Wei Chi were discussing how to torture those people in the secret cell when they heard Li Defu report that Lord Shen and General Zheng had entered the palace.

As soon as Zheng Yuechuan entered the door, he saw Wu Qingfeng's son next to him, looked at him, and nodded with satisfaction.

The two of them walked in and bowed to Wu Qingfeng.

"Everything outside the city has been cleaned up." Shen Tingjiang said to Wu Qingfeng.

"All of King Wu's troops outside the city have been strangled, and most of Prime Minister Gao's party and King Wu's followers who fled have also been controlled. The 50,000 troops brought by General Zheng from Chuzhou will be temporarily stationed outside the city. We will make plans after His Majesty wakes up." Wu Qingfeng nodded, looked at Zheng Yuechuan and said.

The Grand Tutor hasn't arrived yet, so he can't stabilize the affairs of the court for the time being. Many of Prime Minister Gao's assassins have escaped, and they will definitely come back. As long as Xiao Jingzhan doesn't wake up, the capital will be unstable. Now, the army outside the city is crucial.

"Yes," Zheng Yuechuan bowed towards him and responded.

Wu Qingfeng is the most trusted person by the emperor. He himself is also very talented. If it weren't for the high position, this Lord Wu would have long been an official in the court and become the emperor's right-hand man. Now that the emperor is in a coma, he is confident in handing over all matters to him. I think this person will definitely be the master under one person and above ten thousand people in the future.

"Master Shen still needs to pay more attention to the capital these days. Prime Minister Gao's party has many followers, and those who have not been caught will definitely come back. This period of time is crucial, so everyone should pay more attention."

"The Grand Tutor will be here in a few days. The safety of the palace will be temporarily handed over to Commander Zheng and Prince Wei." Wu Qingfeng looked at them and made arrangements one by one.

Many people from the Wei family army and the garrison team died, and the imperial army was severely damaged. Although they won the war, they did not gain any benefits.

"Yes." Several people nodded and responded in unison.

In Xiao Jingzhan's bedroom, Shen Yanyan had just taken a shower and changed into palace clothes, when she saw a woman in tight clothes standing in front of Xiao Jingzhan's bed, holding a handkerchief in her hand, as if taking care of him.

Shen Yanyan's eyes turned cold, and she took two steps forward, "Who told you to touch His Majesty?"

Hearing this, the woman turned around, looked at Shen Yanyan, stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly, and looked at Shen Yanyan.

"Xu Xiaolan?" Shen Yanyan looked at her face, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She also entered the palace?

He returned his gaze to her hands, his eyes becoming even colder.

"Empress, I'm just cleaning Your Majesty." Xu Xiaolan called her Empress, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Shen Yanyan did not show any respect at all, but rather a hint of contempt.

Seeing this, Shen Yanyan sneered, "A secret guard should act like a secret guard. His Majesty is not someone you can touch. Don't get close to His Majesty again." Seeing the admiration in her eyes, Shen Yanyan's face turned cold. The man who stood in front of her and began to covet her treated her as if she was dead.

Shen Yanyan gave her a way out. Now was a turbulent time and she didn't want to get too entangled with her. After warning her, if she knew what was best for her, she would stay away from her. If she didn't, don't blame her for being rude.

But Xu Xiaolan didn't seem to know what it meant to quit while she was ahead. After hearing what Shen Yanyan said, she raised her eyes and looked at her, "Your Majesty, I have been with Your Majesty longer than you have. Your Majesty is in this state now, so let me help take care of him."

Bitch, what right did she have to send her away? When she was following His Majesty, she, Shen Yanyan, didn't even know where she was. Now that she's the queen, she's so domineering. Why should she listen to her?

"Hehe!" Shen Yanyan smiled. It was really a favor to her.

Shen Yanyan took two steps forward, and before Xu Xiaolan could react, Shen Yanyan grabbed her neck and lifted her up.

"I'm giving you face. You're just a secret guard, but you dare to covet His Majesty and challenge me. Who do you think you are?" Shen Yanyan looked at her with cold eyes. The strength in her hands continued to tighten. Looking at her face which was slowly turning red and purple, her eyes were full of coldness.

She doesn't know what's good for her. It would be as easy as killing an ant for her to strangle her to death. She even mocks herself. So what if Xu Xiaolan has been with Xiao Jingzhan for a long time? Now it's herself who is standing next to him. She is not a good person, so why let her be so presumptuous?

"Ah... no... don't... beg..." Xu Xiaolan looked at her like this, with a hint of fear in her eyes. The fear of not being able to breathe and the natural physiological reaction made her want to beg for mercy.

Seeing that she was about to suffocate, Shen Yanyan showed no mercy and threw her heavily to the ground just before her eyeballs popped out and she was on the verge of death.

Seeing her breathing heavily like a dead fish, Shen Yanyan raised her foot and stepped on and rubbed her free hand hard, "How is it? The feeling of being on the verge of death. If it happens again, I will kill you immediately." Shen Yanyan looked down at her, her tone gloomy, and the aura was somewhat like Xiao Jingzhan.

"Xia Zhu, throw it out."

"Yes," Xia Zhu, who had been following her, picked her up with one hand and threw her onto the snow outside.

With such mediocre skills, she dares to challenge the Empress. Xia Zhu looked at her and curled her lips sarcastically.
