Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

At this time, the other side.

Shen Yanyan took Xia Zhu and Dong Xue along the stone road to Yaohua Palace.

Dongxue was holding the lamp in front, while Shen Yanyan and Xia Zhu were walking behind.

"Your Majesty, what happened to Concubine Lan? Why did His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine rush over there and let everyone else go back?" Xia Zhu asked Shen Yanyan with a puzzled look on her face.

Shen Yanyan thought for a moment. Seeing the maid's hesitation, she was afraid that it was not a good thing. She didn't know what happened, but Concubine Lan was afraid that she was in big trouble.

"Never mind, we have no connection with Concubine Lan, so let's not worry about her. What I'm thinking about now is that the banquet is over, but why is Yuan Hanshuang still not making any moves?"

"Looking at the way she was at the banquet, she didn't think she would let me go." Shen Yanyan was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, you said that Concubine Shu was going to attack you. How did you know that?" Xia Zhu asked stupidly.

"Your Highness, with Concubine Shu's personality, she must be holding a grudge against you. If she attacks you, should we tell His Majesty?" Dongxue was also a little surprised. How did Your Highness know that Concubine Shu was going to attack her? However, the solution was the most important thing now. His Majesty doted on Your Highness so much, if we told His Majesty, He would definitely help Your Highness.

"I'm not sure either, but judging from Yuan Hanshuang's expression, she won't give up. Never mind. I have to know what tricks she has used so that I can solve them." Shen Yanyan frowned and stopped thinking about it.

The two people behind him watched Shen Yanyan walk forward and hurriedly followed.

After walking a few steps, Shen Yanyan suddenly stopped and raised her hand to signal the two people behind her to stop.

Xia Zhu also stopped and looked around warily.

Dongxue was confused. Why did the queen suddenly stop? Xia Zhu beside her also had a serious look on her face.

"Mom..." Dongxue was about to ask what was wrong when Xia Zhu quickly covered her mouth.

Shen Yanyan looked at Xia Zhu and signaled her to take good care of Dongxue.

The two of them have been together for many years, and Xia Zhu knew what Shen Yanyan meant with just one look, and nodded immediately.

Shen Yanyan put her palm down and gathered her strength. At this moment, she had no weapon in her hand, so she could only use her internal strength to prevent the opponent's sneak attack.

The three of them stood there. Dongxue was startled when she saw two men in black jumping out of the darkness.

The two of them attacked Shen Yanyan at the same time. Xia Zhu quickly pushed Dongxue aside and stepped forward to help.

The moment the two men in black attacked, Shen Yanyan used her Qi to resist. Seeing some powder scattered from their hands, Shen Yanyan's nose twitched slightly. She quickly stepped back and used her Qi with both hands to pat the powder away.

The two attackers didn't expect Shen Yanyan knew kung fu. They looked at each other with shock in their eyes. Then they saw Shen Yanyan slap the powder back, and they quickly stepped back to avoid her.

The powder that was knocked away fell to the ground, making a sharp hissing sound, like the devil's breath.

As the sound rang out, a black wave of air rose from the poison, like an evil force spreading.

Shen Yanyan quickly pulled Xia Zhu back to Dongxue's side, with unprecedented coldness and murderous intent in her eyes.

Seeing the poison fall to the ground, the two men in black drew their swords from their waists and attacked the three people. Xia Zhu and Shen Yanyan flew forward to respond. Shen Yanyan went forward and exchanged two moves with the man in black and knew the opponent's strength.

Shen Yanyan sneered, her tone was icy: "She sent little minions like you to deal with me? You are really courting death."

Shen Yanyan used up 30% of her strength and slapped the man in black away. The man in black fell to the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood. Picking up the fallen sword, Shen Yanyan stepped on the man in black and put the sword on his neck.

Xia Zhu on the side also knocked the man to the ground and pressed the man in black hard with his feet.

"Empress, what should we do?" Xia Zhu looked at Shen Yanyan and asked.

Just as Shen Yanyan was about to speak, she saw a gleam of determination in the eyes of the two people on the ground.

The two men in black realized that they had been defeated. They looked at each other tacitly, with a resolute look in their eyes.

In an instant, they both bit off the poison pill hidden between their teeth without hesitation.

The poison spread rapidly, and pain spread throughout their bodies, but their eyes were firm and calm. As their bodies trembled and convulsed, they slowly fell to the ground, and the light of life gradually faded away.

A trace of black blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, blending into the ground beneath them. The air was filled with the smell of death, as if witnessing their final decision and their unwillingness to fail.

"Where are the guards patrolling the palace? Xia Zhu, go and check them out." Shen Yanyan said, looking at the two people on the ground.

Xia Zhu hurried out to find someone. Shen Yanyan squatted beside the poison with her brows tightly knitted.

"Mercury powder. It's so vicious." Shen Yanyan's tone was cold, her eyes full of murderous intent.

Mercury powder is made of various poisons and mercury. If it falls on the skin, it can corrode the skin. Although the effect is not as good as modern sulfuric acid, it is enough to destroy a face. If I don't know any kung fu today, I will definitely let these two succeed.

How could a woman with a disfigured face survive in the imperial palace? Although Yuan Hanshuang did not poison herself to death directly, she would have lived a life worse than death.

She thought she just had a bad temper and a stupid mind. It seemed that the Yuan family had a daughter like her, which was quite a sin. Yuan Hanshuang actually openly asked Deadpool to enter the palace to attack the concubines. Was it because she didn't take Xiao Jingzhan seriously or was she too confident in her family?

The Yuan family is very brave.

Shen Yanyan paused, and the aura around her suddenly surged.

Shen Yanyan quickly sat down and adjusted her internal breath. In order to swat the poison powder away, she was too eager to use her internal energy, and was afraid that the poison powder would stick to her face. Shen Yanyan did not have time to adjust her internal breath before she used her internal energy again. This time, her blood vessels flowed backwards, and she was forced to bleed.

Dong Xue, who was stunned at the side, saw Shen Yanyan vomiting blood, and came to her senses. She hurried forward and asked anxiously: "My queen, are you okay?"

Shen Yanyan closed her eyes tightly and practiced breathing exercises. After a while, she suppressed the surging energy in her body, and before she could answer Dongxue, she fainted.

Seeing this, Dongxue quickly knelt down to support Shen Yanyan, her eyes were red and tears were streaming.

"Someone come, come quickly. Find the imperial physician." Dong Xue's voice was trembling and hoarse.

"Miss, you can't be in trouble, otherwise how can I explain to the master and the mistress, wuwuwu." Dongxue cried breathlessly. Although she was smart, she was just a maid in the backyard. She had never seen such a scene before, and she was scared at this moment.

Xia Zhu rushed over with people in a panic, and as soon as he arrived, he saw Dong Xue hugging the unconscious Shen Yanyan tightly.

She quickly stepped forward, took the lady's hand, and looked at her carefully. She saw that Shen Yanyan's face was as pale as paper, without any blood, and her originally beautiful lips turned pale. Xia Zhu's heart sank to the bottom of the valley instantly. She knew the seriousness of the meridian reflux. If she was not treated in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

Her eyes were filled with worry and anxiety, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Fortunately, the young lady suppressed her surging breath in time, and it’s still not too late.

Xia Zhu quickly sat down, pushed Dongxue away, and sat behind Shen Yanyan.

"The Queen can't move right now. Go and inform His Majesty." After saying this, Xia Zhu closed his eyes and used his internal energy to heal Shen Yanyan's injuries.

The guards quickly surrounded the path.

The captain of the guards had a solemn look on his face. His eyes fell on the two people in black on the ground, and an ominous premonition came to his mind. When he saw the unconscious Concubine Yan, he was even more horrified.

Two men in black were lying on the ground in a pool of blood, their faces soaked with poisonous blood and emitting a pungent smell of blood.

Their faces were obscured by shadows and their true appearance could not be seen clearly, but from their stiff postures and the bloodstains around them, one could imagine that a fierce fight had just taken place here.

Concubine Yan's face was as pale as paper, her eyes were tightly closed, and she seemed to have lost her breath of life.

It looked like she was seriously injured. Her beautiful face now looked extremely haggard. The captain of the guards' eyes were filled with fear and worry. He stepped forward quickly and sent someone to report to His Majesty, while he stood by.

The whole scene was filled with a tense atmosphere. The guards looked around vigilantly, the swords in their hands flashing cold light, ready to deal with any possible danger.

In the Yangxin Palace, Xiao Jingzhan listened to An Yi's report with a slightly cold expression.

"It was all planned by the Imperial Concubine. The Gao family was not involved." An Yi replied rigidly with no expression on his face.

"Well, go down." Xiao Jingzhan sat upright on the dragon chair, tapping the table with one hand. The dong dong dong sound showed the master's displeasure.

"Your Majesty, we need to deal with the Imperial Concubine." Li Defu stepped forward and asked.

"No need, just leave it there and follow the backup plan she left."

"As for Concubine Lan, just say that she died suddenly from poisoning. We need to track down the murderer thoroughly." Xiao Jingzhan said calmly, emphasizing the word murderer.

"She can't see her own identity clearly. She follows me and can be brought down by such a low trick. Then there is no need for her to follow me. I don't keep trash around me." Xiao Jingzhan looked outside coldly, his eyes full of ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.

He has never been a good person. If the people around him can't withstand such a small thing, then there is no need for them to stay.

Thinking of her past achievements. Now that she had thoughts that she shouldn't have, he could spare her life. If she hadn't killed the man in time today, she would have died.

One wrong move and there is no recovery.

Gao Xiang is not a pushover. If he knew her virginity, he would definitely be suspicious, and the three years of planning would fail. Because of this, she couldn't live.

An Yi walked in and knelt down to salute.

"Master, Xu Xiaolan wants to see you."

"Announce." Xiao Jingzhan leaned back on the dragon chair and closed his eyes to rest.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Xu Xiaolan knelt on the ground, bowed her head and apologized. "I almost ruined your plan, please punish me."

In the Qiluo Pavilion, Xu Xiaolan, who had just stood up after a while, suddenly realized the seriousness of today's events. She quickly tidied herself up and came to apologize.

She was the master's shield and had to be vigilant at all times, but because she was jealous, she did not investigate and let the imperial concubine succeed. Fortunately, she woke up in time and killed the man. If the man ran away and the news got out, she would be blamed for it.

Given his bloodthirsty personality, she would have died a more miserable death.

After being a concubine for three years, she almost forgot how that man ascended to the throne.
