Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Yuan Hanshuang touched her red and swollen cheeks and listened to her words with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Aunt, please, please, don't give up on Han Shuang. Han Shuang will be obedient in the future." Yuan Han Shuang didn't care about the pain in her cheeks. She stepped forward and hugged the Queen Mother's feet, crying with tears on her face.

The Queen Mother looked at the person kneeling at her feet with a headache, and felt that she was really blind. Why did she let this brainless person into the palace in the first place?

"Go back to Xiyuexuan. I will not kill you because you are my niece. Otherwise, you will surely die with those two dead servants. Do you think this is Yuan Mansion where you can do whatever you want? You are so bold that you even dare to arrange for the dead servants to enter the palace." The Queen Mother sighed heavily.

Forget it, it's also my fault that she is so lawless now. When she relied on her status to make trouble in the palace in the past, I let her do it and made her become so brainless and bad-tempered. She is also to blame.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and Madam Lu, who was guarding outside the palace, ordered the palace servants to drag Yuan Hanshuang, whose face was covered with tears, out of the door.

The Queen Mother rubbed her temples and said to Madam Lu with a tired look, "Write to my brother and ask him to find another suitable person to come in."

"Yes, Your Majesty, please be more at ease. The eldest daughter does not have this blessing. You have been very good to her since she was a child. It is she who has let you down." Nanny Lu stepped forward to rub the Queen Mother's temples.

"Well, Your Majesty is now fully grown, and the fight with Prime Minister Gao is becoming increasingly intense. The men in our Yuan family are not up to standard. I have placed such high hopes on her since she was a child, but she is just like the rest of her family, with nothing." The Queen Mother opened her eyes, a trace of fatigue flashing in them.

Although the late emperor married her as his queen, his favorite was still Concubine Wu. She had lived in the palace for many years without her own children, which made life even more difficult.

The reason why the late emperor married her was because her family had no real power and was easy to control.

Now, if she had not joined hands with Xiao Jingzhan to deal with Concubine Wu and her son when the late emperor passed away, how could she have her current position? His Majesty spared Yuan Hanshuang's life and fined his brother for a year, which was already a warning to the Yuan family. Sending a death servant into the palace without permission was a capital crime.

If this idiot Yuan Hanshuang is allowed to continue staying in the palace, who knows how much trouble he will cause.

Yuan Hanshuang stood in the courtyard of Xiyuexuan, looking at a small and simple courtyard. Her eyes were full of resentment, as if they were about to burst into flames.

She clenched her teeth tightly, clenched her fists, and dug her nails deep into her palms. Living in such a shabby place made her dissatisfaction and resentment more intense.

She felt that she was treated unfairly and that this shabby place was not worthy of her status.

Yuan Hanshuang's face was filled with anger, and her already red and swollen face looked even funnier.

I didn't expect that the so-called Xiyuexuan in front of me was so small, not even as big as a side hall of Liuguang Palace.

As the daughter of a marquis, she had always enjoyed a comfortable life and had never suffered such grievances and pain.

The simplicity of Xiyuexuan was far from her expectations, which made her anger burn even more.

Yuan Hanshuang pursed her lips tightly and frowned. Her eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, as if she wanted to see through this little Xiyuexuan. She walked back and forth in the courtyard with heavy steps, kicking the stones on the ground from time to time to vent her dissatisfaction.

"How can this be the place where I should live!" She said to herself angrily, with a hint of helplessness and resentment in her voice. She felt that she was treated unfairly, and her pride made it impossible for her to accept this reality.

Yuan Hanshuang's chest heaved with anger. She bit her lip and vowed to find a way to change everything.

She absolutely could not allow herself to suffer in such an environment, and she wanted to fight for better living conditions and treatment.

Liu Zhu stood aside, her body involuntarily retreating, her face full of fear. She stared at Yuan Hanshuang with wide eyes, fearing that a small movement of hers would attract her attention and cause her to suffer physical pain.

The other palace servants in the courtyard seemed a little panicked. They came forward one after another, bowed their heads and saluted Yuan Hanshuang, with awe in their tone.

Some people didn't even dare to look up. They just stood aside silently, waiting for Yuan Hanshuang's instructions.

"Greetings, Concubine Yuan," several people said in unison.

Yuan Hanshuang frowned as she looked at the palace servants kneeling on the ground. Are there only a few people serving her? Normally, she had more palace servants close to her in Liuguang Palace.

After a while, Yuan Hanshuang's voice rang out. "Get up."

After saying that, Yuan Hanshuang took Liu Zhu and walked forward. Looking at the surrounding environment, Yuan Hanshuang's face was full of disgust.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

The sun shone through the windows of the Yangxin Palace onto Shen Yanyan. She had just finished her breakfast, drank a bowl of medicine, and then slowly lay back on the soft couch in the Yangxin Palace.

Shen Yanyan originally wanted to return to Yaohua Palace, but the guards outside the door stopped her, saying that they were following His Majesty's orders and did not allow her to leave Yangxin Palace.

Helplessly, Shen Yanyan had to lie down again. Her eyes looked into the distance, and her thoughts gradually drifted away. Perhaps it was the effect of the bowl of medicine, her body felt heavy and weak, as if it was bound by an invisible force.

The couch was soft and gorgeous, and Shen Yanyan lay on it drowsily.

After the morning court session ended, Xiao Jingzhan hurried back. As soon as he entered the room, his eyes were attracted by Shen Yanyan lying on the couch.

Her eyes seemed half closed, half asleep, and her delicate body was slightly curled up. The sunlight shone through the window onto her, creating a peaceful and beautiful picture.

Xiao Jingzhan couldn't help but smile slightly, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. It seemed that her physical condition had improved a lot. He walked slowly to the soft couch with light steps, staring at her quietly, his eyes full of care and love.

Shen Yanyan was lying on the bed, her thoughts wandering between half asleep and half awake. Suddenly, she keenly noticed the presence of another person in the room, so she slowly opened her eyes.

Her vision gradually became clear, and she was surprised to find that the person standing in front of her was Xiao Jingzhan.

A happy smile immediately broke out on her face, as warm as the spring sun.

"Your Majesty, you're back." She said softly, with a hint of joy in her voice that was hard to conceal.

Now that he is back, it means she can go back to Yaohua Palace.

Xiao Jingzhan walked forward, sat beside the bed, and gently stroked her hair, his eyes full of tenderness.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan with pity on his face and asked softly, "Does it still hurt?" Shen Yanyan shook her head gently, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

She was beaten until she vomited blood by those two little scumbags, but she didn't feel any pain, just shame.

She hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask Xiao Jingzhan for her request to return to Yaohua Palace.

"I'm fine, I just need to take some medicine for two days. Can I go back to Yaohua Palace and recuperate slowly?

However, Xiao Jingzhan's answer did not leave any room for negotiation. He rejected Shen Yanyan's proposal without hesitation, his eyes firm and resolute.

"No, you can live in the Yangxin Palace from now on. You can go back after you recover from your injuries."

Shen Yanyan curled her lips, a little unhappy. She didn't really want to live here, nor did she want to face him all the time.

News from the harem spread quickly, and she also heard that Yuan Hanshuang had been demoted.

If possible, she wanted to stay away from him. The reason why Yuan Hanshuang targeted her was simply because she had provoked her and her cousin.

Living in his Yangxin Palace, if Yuan Hanshuang is gone today, there will be another Yuan Hanshuang tomorrow. She is not afraid of trouble, but she doesn't want to provoke so many people. After all, two fists cannot beat four hands. She can defend against two men in black, but she can't defend against those women in the harem.

There was also the matter of Concubine Lan. She had never expected that since Concubine Lan was dead, it could also be a smokescreen. After all, she was Xiao Jingzhan's subordinate, and it was unknown whether there was any inside story.

But she guessed that Concubine Lan's incident was definitely caused by Concubine Gao. Yuan Hanshuang had been punished, but Concubine Gao was fine. This was probably also his plan.

Concubine Gao is competing with Concubine Lan because of His Majesty's favor. If she stays in the Yangxin Palace today, Concubine Gao will target her tomorrow. The jealousy of women in the harem can be fatal.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan's unhappy face and asked her puzzledly: "What's wrong? Don't you want to be here? Why?"

Shen Yanyan was speechless. He asked her why. "Your Majesty, if the concubines in the harem knew that I lived here, they would hate me to death. I'm so scared. If there are one or two more people like Yuan Hanshuang, I won't know how I died." She was telling the truth. She was still scared of a group of people targeting her.

Xiao Jingzhan's eyes were full of self-blame and guilt. He held Shen Yanyan's hand tightly and said in a low voice: "I will protect you in the future." His tone was light but serious.

Shen Yanyan lowered her head silently and said softly: "Okay, send eight or ten secret guards to follow me." Forget it, he would not let her go back. She would just stay there. When she gets better, the first thing she would do is to go to Xiyuexuan to annoy Yuan Hanshuang.

As for whether to protect or not, it's useless to just say it, it only counts if you really do it. Just trust a man half of what he says.

"Well, okay, I'll send you ten or eight." Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan who lowered her head, full of doting. But there was a trace of hurt in her eyes. The little girl was very defensive, and she obviously didn't believe what he said just now. He didn't blame her, he would use time to prove it.

Yuan family in Beijing.

Lord Yuan, who had just returned home from court, had a gloomy face. When he saw Madam Yuan coming towards him, he remembered what had just happened in court and his face became even darker.

"My Lord, you are finally back. What happened to Han Shuang? How did she become a noble? Why don't you and the Empress Dowager ask the Emperor for mercy? My Han Shuang." Madam Yuan had tears on her face. After hearing about what happened in the palace, she had been waiting outside the door.

"Shut up, it's all because of you who taught my daughter so well. You were so bold as to bring Deadpool into the palace to assassinate the concubines, and even left the evidence in the palace. His Majesty didn't kill her because of the Queen Mother. You still want the Queen Mother and I to beg His Majesty? Do you think our Yuan family has lived too long?" Lord Yuan pushed Mother Yuan away and walked into the courtyard without looking back.
