Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Shen Yanyan was slapped hard, and her face was instantly turned to the other side.

As soon as Xiao Jingzhan entered the room, he saw Yuan Hanshuang slap Shen Yanyan. His face immediately turned cold. He quickly walked forward and pushed Yuan Hanshuang away, then pulled Shen Yanyan to his side and pretended to check her face.

Xiao Jingzhan used some strength and Yuan Hanshuang fell directly to the ground. She looked at Xiao Jingzhan in disbelief that her cousin pushed her for this bitch.

When Shen Yanyan saw that it was Xiao Jingzhan, she knew that her bet was right. She pinched her thigh hard and her eyes were filled with tears in an instant.

When everyone saw Xiao Jingzhan coming in, they all knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, may your Majesty be well."

Xiao Jingzhan lifted up Shen Yanyan's drooping face and saw big tears falling from Shen Yanyan's eyes. Her lips were tightly closed, and she looked like she had suffered a great injustice but dared not cry. Half of her face was red and swollen, and she looked pitiful.

Xiao Jingzhan's face suddenly turned dark, and a cold aura filled his surroundings. The eyes he looked at Yuan Hanshuang were like thousand-year-old ice, which made Yuan Hanshuang shudder.

"Confine Concubine Shu to Liuguang Palace. She is not allowed to go out without my order." After Xiao Jingzhan said this, he pulled Shen Yanyan away without even looking at the people kneeling on the ground.

"Li Defu, ask the imperial physician to wait in the Yangxin Palace." Xiao Jingzhan said as he took Shen Yanyan's hand and walked out of Cuichen Palace.

Li Defu quickly sent the eunuch beside him to the Imperial Hospital to invite the imperial physician, while he himself stayed beside the emperor.

After walking out of Cuichen Palace, Shen Yanyan was pulled by Xiao Jingzhan towards the direction of Yangxin Palace. The man said nothing, his face was gloomy, and his whole body exuded the aura of "Keep Away".

Shen Yanyan was a little angry. He said he liked her, but she was slapped so hard that her face was swollen, but he just put her under house arrest. If he had known, he would not have used this torture. She even got a big bruise on her thigh. She was slapped in vain.

If she hadn't wanted to test his attitude, she would have let Yuan Hanshuang slap her. It turned out that men were unreliable and she was just being too sentimental.

She wanted to play a green tea like in the TV series, but he didn't even give her a chance, he just took her away and gave her a light house arrest. **. She had to return the slap.

The more Shen Yanyan thought about it, the angrier she became. Why should she have to endure this in this broken palace?

She didn't want to follow him to the Yangxin Palace anymore, so she used some strength to shake off Xiao Jingzhan's hand and said coldly, "Your Majesty, I can just apply the compress myself when I go back, there's no need to see the imperial physician."

Xiao Jingzhan's already angry face instantly darkened, and he roared, "Shen Yanyan, are you dead? If she hits you, you won't fight back, don't you know martial arts, and you let her hit you like this. Weren't you very tough when you quarreled with me?" Xiao Jingzhan was furious. He knew her little thoughts, and he knew she could block that slap. He was angry that she actually took a slap in the face just to let him punish others.

Shen Yanyan was so angry that she almost laughed. Why? Was he blaming her for letting his cousin slap her?

"Your Majesty's Concubine Shu is of noble status. She is also the niece of the Empress Dowager and your Majesty's cousin. If I don't take this slap, then should I hit your Majesty's cousin of noble status? I am of humble status, just the daughter of a fourth-rank official. How dare I hit your Majesty's cousin of noble status?" Shen Yanyan couldn't help but said sarcastically.

The bastard said he did this and that to her. Shouldn't he be venting his anger? Now he is standing here with a gloomy face for whom? If a man is reliable, a sow will climb a tree.

"Your Majesty, you should go and see your cousin who is of noble status. She must be very sad if you put her under house arrest." Shen Yanyan emphasized the word "house arrest" and ran forward quickly without looking back. She ran so fast that Xiao Jingzhan had not even had time to react.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at the person running away, his brows knitted tightly. No one knew what he was thinking.

Marquis Li Defu was not far away. He saw Concubine Yan and the Emperor quarreling and then running away, so he bravely stepped forward.

After a long while, Xiao Jingzhan retracted his gaze and said, "Let the imperial physician go to Yaohua Palace to take a look." After that, he walked towards the direction of Yangxin Palace.

At this time, everyone in the Yangxin Palace had different expressions.

Gao Jinyi sat in the main seat, with concubines from various palaces sitting on both sides below her.

"My sisters, you must have seen it since you came to my place today." She looked around and everyone was silent.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yanyan is so favored right after entering the palace. How will she be in the future? We must think of a solution." Concubine Qi spoke first.

"That's right. How could a mere daughter of a fourth-rank official be favored by the emperor?" Concubine Zheng echoed.

Gao Jinyi was secretly happy in her heart; this was exactly the effect she wanted.

"Sisters, please be patient. The rules of the harem cannot be disrupted. We are all the emperor's concubines and should live in harmony." She said with pretended magnanimity.

"The Imperial Concubine is right, but Shen Yanyan..." Everyone was still unwilling to accept it.

"Okay, stop talking."

Gao Jinyi interrupted them and looked at Yuan Hanshuang beside her, saying softly, "Don't worry, sister Hanshuang. His Majesty has only put you under house arrest temporarily. I believe he will let you out soon. You too, Concubine Yan is a concubine after all. How could you hit her like this?" After saying this, Concubine Gao looked at Yuan Hanshuang's fiery eyes and was very satisfied.

"My queen, it was that bitch who tripped me first. She is a concubine, so what? She dared to seduce His Majesty, and today she caused me to be confined by His Majesty. I will not let it go." Yuan Hanshuang said without restraint. Bitch, she wants her to die.

Seeing Yuan Hanshuang like this, Lin Rongyue, who was standing by, quickly pulled her sleeve.

Yuan Hanshuang no longer cared about so many things at this time, and her eyes were full of jealousy.

Concubine Gao looked at Concubine Lan beside her and said, "Are you okay, sister Lan? His Majesty might have been too worried about Concubine Yan just now, and he didn't notice you are here. Usually, your Majesty cares about you the most." Concubine Gao said to Xu Xiaolan who was silent on the side.

Bitch, let's see how you can keep pretending. His Majesty didn't even give her a glance just now. She usually relies on His Majesty's favor to be arrogant, but today she is ignored and is still pretending. It's really embarrassing for her.

"Thank you for your concern, Imperial Concubine. I am doing fine." A trace of jealousy flashed across Xu Xiaolan's face, but soon, Imperial Concubine Gao, who had been watching her, saw it and felt even happier.

"Okay, that's it. You all can go back. That's all for today. I'm tired too." Concubine Gao said and waved her hand.

The concubines agreed and went back to the palace.

Concubine Gao watched everyone leave, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by jealousy and anger. Her eyes became crazy, as if she wanted to burn everything.

She paced in the palace, staggering as if she had lost her balance. Suddenly, she stopped and gasped heavily, as if she was oppressed by an invisible force.

She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all. Her chest rose and fell violently, as if there was a fire burning inside.

Then, Concubine Gao began to smash things crazily. She grabbed the vase beside her and threw it hard on the ground. The vase shattered instantly, and the fragments flew everywhere. She rushed to the table where the decorations were placed, and swept all the items on it to the ground, making a crisp collision sound.

"Bitch, you are all a bunch of bitches. Shen Yanyan, Xu Xiaolan, Yuan Hanshuang, they are all competing with me for the emperor. I want you to die, all of you, die." Concubine Gao looked fiercely outside the palace, and she did not look as dignified and gentle as before.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Lanxiang, her personal maid, came up to persuade her.

Concubine Gao slapped Lanxiang on the face and glared at her with red eyes, "Shut up, all of you get out of here, get out."

Seeing this, the palace servants retreated one after another, as they were no longer surprised by this scene.

Shen Yanyan searched for a long time before she found Yaohua Palace. As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, she saw Dongxue and Xia Zhu waiting for her outside the palace gate.

When the two saw Shen Yanyan, they hurried over.

"Miss, what's wrong with your face?" Xia Zhu was shocked when she saw the slap mark on Shen Yanyan's face.

Dongxue was the one who followed Shen Yanyan to pay her respects, but the servants were not allowed to enter the palace and had to wait outside. Dongxue didn't know what happened in the palace. She just saw the emperor come down and hurriedly leave with the empress. She wanted to chase after them, but when she found the emperor and the empress, she saw the empress running away quickly. She couldn't catch up with them, so she went back to Yaohua Palace to wait.

So she didn't know where the slap mark on the queen's face came from.

"It's okay. I had a fight with that Concubine Shu and got slapped by her accidentally. It's not a big deal. Go boil me an egg for my face, Dongxue." After saying that, Shen Yanyan walked towards Yaohua Palace.

When Shen Yanyan returned to her bedroom, she felt her face burning. She was so busy being angry just now that she didn't feel any pain. Now it was burning and very uncomfortable.

"Xia Zhu, go get me some ointment to reduce the redness and swelling. My face hurts a little." Shen Yanyan felt pain in her face even as she spoke. Yuan Hanshuang's slap was quite strong and it hurt. Damn it, wait until it gets dark and see how she's going to deal with her.

After Xia Zhu took out the ointment and applied it to Shen Yanyan's face, the burning sensation instantly felt much better. Shen Yanyan's frown relaxed. The things from the Divine Doctor Valley were indeed good and they worked immediately after being applied.

"Miss, why did you get beaten by Concubine Shu? Don't you know martial arts?" Xia Zhu said in a careless manner.

"Don't mention it, it's all black history, forget it, forget it." Shen Yanyan didn't want to say more. Could she say that she was slapped for being sentimental? She still had to save some face. This kind of stupid thing was enough once.

After a while Dongxue came over with the boiled eggs. Shen Yanyan felt that the ointment on her face had dried, so she asked Dongxue to wrap it in a handkerchief and roll it gently on her face.

Shen Yanyan was lying in the yard with a facial mask. A eunuch came in and saluted Shen Yanyan: "Madam, Doctor Chen from the Imperial Hospital is here. He said the Emperor sent him. Please check your injuries." The eunuch said respectfully. He didn't dare to say more.

News in the palace could never be kept secret, and soon, what happened in Cuichen Palace had spread throughout the palace.
