Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

"Father, there has been a lot of movement from Prime Minister Gao's side recently." Shen Tingjiang has been keeping an eye on Prime Minister Gao's party since he came back from the palace last time.

When they went to Yangzhou, he had been sending people to follow them. Fortunately, he had many soldiers with him, so they didn't dare to attack. However, he couldn't think of anyone else except Prime Minister Gao who could follow them so blatantly.

After returning from Yangzhou, he had more or less guessed what Yanyan and her family were planning. His sister was young, but she was very smart and capable.

Given His Majesty's current favor for her, and the power of their Shen family, it is not impossible for her to fight for the supreme position in the harem.

"We can't just sit and wait for death. His Majesty will probably take action before the New Year. Prime Minister Gao's party will not sit and wait for death either. By then, there will definitely be a big war. We don't have much time left." Shen Hongwen nodded. He was the Minister of Justice, so he knew something about Prime Minister Gao's actions.

"Prime Minister Gao has great power in the court, and our Shen family is no pushover," Shen Yiwen also said.

Everyone nodded. If they wanted to deal with the Shen family, they had to see if they had the ability to do so.

"Next year's spring examination, Xiaosi, you must prepare well. The spring examination after the new year will be extremely important." Shen Yiwen looked at Shen Tingyan and said.

Shen Tingyan frowned, "Father, isn't it too early to say this? It's still uncertain who will win or lose in this fight. If Your Majesty loses, our whole family will be buried with him."

"How dare you say anything!" Shen Yiwen looked at Shen Tingyan and glared at him fiercely.

Shen Tingyan lowered his head instantly. He was not wrong.

"Tingyan, don't talk nonsense," Shen Hongwen also looked at Shen Tingyan and said.

"You are still young, so you naturally have such thoughts, but His Majesty is not a simple person. He seized the throne when Liguo was in the most dangerous time. The princes of the previous emperor were not good people. As soon as His Majesty came back, he dealt with them. He did not rely on luck, but on absolute strength. He was able to protect Liguo from foreign invasion and internal strife under such a critical situation three years ago, and he was able to flatter these powerful ministers. This is not something that everyone can do." Shen Hongwen knew best the methods of His Majesty at the time. A kind and useless person could not ascend to the throne. The methods and strategies of their Majesty could be said to be among the best and unique.

Several people nodded, and only realized the importance of the matter.

"Your father (uncle) is right. The most important thing now is to deal with the difficulties caused by the Gao family. You are officials in the court and it is easiest to be corrected in your mistakes. You must be more careful." Old Lady Shen looked at her grandchildren and said.

"I have exchanged letters with your third uncle. Zhimo is now at the border. He is a general at least. There is room for him to move up in the future. Also, Qingqing and Lingling's marriages are both good. These things will be extremely important in the future. Prime Minister Gao will not only focus on the capital, but also pay more attention to Yangzhou." Shen Hongwen said to Shen Ting'an.

"Don't worry, father. I will arrange these things. I will never let the Gao family take advantage of any opportunity." Shen Ting'an nodded, his eyes full of seriousness.

Although he is a civil servant, he is also the eldest son in the family. He has been involved in the affairs of the Shen family very early on, and most of the hidden power of the Shen family is in his hands. He knew since he was sensible that he would be the one to take care of the entire family in the future. He did everything he should do, and learned what he should learn more seriously than anyone else, just because he is the eldest son in the family.

"Well, okay. Be careful in everything, you brothers should help each other and unite as one." Shen Hongwen nodded, very satisfied.

After a long and in-depth conversation, everyone slowly stood up and began to disperse, heading towards their respective courtyards.

A few days later, the cold-blooded man who had been in the capital to inquire about Shen Yanyan's news became colder day by day.

The woman seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without any trace being found.

He didn't have time to waste here. It seemed that in order to find out about that woman, he had to ask Prince Wei. He was probably the only one who knew about her.

Otherwise, if he looked for it on his own, how long would it take him to find it? He had even asked Wanzongmen for information, but still couldn't find it. There was no information in this world that Wanzongmen couldn't find, unless they deliberately concealed it and dared not reveal it.

However, there are not many people in this world who can keep secrets for the Wanzong Sect. He can find out by checking one by one, but it is a waste of time. He urgently wants to know the whereabouts of Guixuezi.

In Prince Wei's mansion, when Wei Chi, who had spent a day in the military camp, returned to his residence, he saw that everything was quiet and felt a little uneasy.

He looked at the guard beside him, raised his hand to signal him not to move, and listened carefully to the movement inside. Sure enough, there was a problem.

Wei Chi broke into the room with his guards and saw Leng Xue, dressed in black, holding Butler Wei hostage and waiting for him to come back in the bedroom.

Wei Chi looked at everything in front of him, his eyes were extremely cold, "What do you want?" He would not use the name of housekeeper Wei to threaten him for no reason. It seemed that he came here for something.

Lengxue looked at him and sneered, "You should know that I want news about the woman that night, otherwise I will kill him!" After saying that, he gestured with the knife in his hand, as if it was about to pierce into Butler Wei's artery.

Butler Wei shook his head. Although he didn't know who they were talking about, he knew that this matter would definitely be difficult for the prince, and he didn't want to be a burden to the prince.

"I don't have much patience. I'll give you three seconds, or I'll kill him!" Leng Xue looked at Wei Chi with a cold face, impatience was obvious in his eyes.

Wei Chi knew that he could do this. If he wanted to kill Steward Wei, they couldn't stop him with his skills. Besides, he was just like his name, cold-blooded. He didn't dare to take the risk.

"I don't know anything else. I only saw their carriage heading towards the palace." Wei Chi despised himself in his heart and blamed himself for being useless as he was threatened by this cold-blooded man time and time again.

Leng Xue frowned when he heard this. The Imperial Palace? That place is not easy to go to. How could a Jianghu person like Gui Xuezi be related to the Imperial Palace?

He was sure that Wei Chi would not dare to lie to him, so he pushed Butler Wei out and jumped out of the window.

With a direction, it will be easier to track down, and it won’t be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It seems that he has to find a way to enter the palace. In order to find the ghost blood child, he has to go to the hell, not to mention the palace.

At night, Yaohua Palace.

"Xia Zhu, do we still have the wine we brought into the palace?" Shen Yanyan was overwhelmed when she saw the memorials in front of her. Dongxue had handled most of them, but she had to handle the rest herself.

I have to take care of these harem affairs every day, it’s so annoying.

If she doesn't drink some wine to calm down, she'll go crazy.

"Your Majesty, there are still two jars of pear blossom wine." Xia Zhu looked at the Empress's frowning brows and said slowly.

Miss, it’s been a long time since you last drank. Why are you drinking again?

"Bring a jar over here, you go to sleep first." Shen Yanyan looked at the road outside which was clearly illuminated by the moonlight, but she felt very annoyed in her heart.

Xia Zhu brought a jar of wine into the room and went to sleep.

The young lady loves drinking. When she was in the farm, she liked to stay alone and drink. Xia Zhu was used to it, so she put down a jar of wine and left.

Shen Yanyan looked at the wine in front of her and the moonlight outside the window and sighed silently.

No matter how she lied to herself, it was useless. Even though Xiao Jingzhan was in the palace, she still found it boring, very boring.

She repeated the same life every day, her days were uneventful. As soon as she opened her eyes, she had to deal with the affairs of the palace. Every day was the same. She probably hadn't left the Yaohua Palace for half a month.

As time goes by, it's easy to get bored.

After opening the wine seal, Shen Yanyan poured the wine into the jug, picked up the jug and the wine glass, and flew onto the roof.

Why did she love drinking on the rooftop? Sometimes she would stand on the rooftop and look at the scenery in the palace, but after looking for a long time, it was all the same, one room after another, with no end in sight, just like her life. However, standing on the rooftop, she could still see the scenery of the rooftop, but sitting in the house, she could only see the door frames and windows. People always have to look farther to have a little hope.

Feeling the atmosphere around her, Shen Yanyan drank a glass of wine and said softly: "An Qi, everyone, please leave. You don't have to guard today. I will explain to His Majesty." Sometimes you need to be alone and empty yourself. It doesn't feel good to have someone staring at you all the time.

As soon as Shen Yanyan finished speaking, the surrounding aura disappeared.

Shen Yanyan lay quietly on the roof, looking up at the splendor of the palace at night. The bright stars were like gems inlaid on the sky, reflecting the lights in the palace.

The magnificent palace looked even more majestic under the moonlight, with the eaves and glazed tiles on the roof gleaming with golden light. The pavilions, towers, gardens and pools in the palace were all carefully illuminated, like a fairyland.

Shen Yanyan couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the splendor of this palace is not just the magnificence of the architecture, but also a symbol of power and wealth. In this magnificent palace, there are countless stories and struggles hidden.

He rested his head with one hand, looking at the starry sky and the full moon, and with the other hand he picked up the wine jug and poured wine into his mouth.

The posture is a little indecent, but very relaxing.

It's tiring to act like an imperial concubine in Yaohua Palace every day, but it's still comfortable this way.

It is said that many people love freedom. Just lying on the roof and drinking a glass of wine comfortably made her feel much more comfortable.

What is the difference between being a royal concubine and working? The only difference may be that a royal concubine has to be richer, but having money is useless in this palace.

I worked for a long time in my previous life and felt like a office worker, feeling lifeless all day long.

Now that she has been in the palace for a long time, she feels that she is not very adapted to this role.

In the final analysis, I just like the free and easy life, and this palace is too boring.

"These days are so sad. e=(′o｀*))) Alas...." Shen Yanyan sighed and complained occasionally. She had to vent the unhappiness in her heart.

Otherwise, you will get sick if you hold it in for a long time. That’s why alcohol is a good thing.

Judging from her current condition, she will probably be an alcoholic when she gets old. Shen Yanyan sneered helplessly, feeling a little contemptuous of herself.

Leng Xue looked at Shen Yanyan lying on the roof from afar. It seemed that it was her. Although she was masked that night, the aura around her was exactly the same as this person. It must be her.

In order to find out who she was, he made a deal with Wuzongmen to get them to reveal her information. There was nothing in this world that Wuzongmen didn't know about. With some directions, it was only a matter of time to find out. Fortunately, they finally found her.

Lengxue moved towards Shen Yanyan. Shen Yanyan on the roof suddenly sat up, looked in one direction, and frowned.

This breath is so familiar.

He is a master, and he is on par with me.

After seeing who it was, Shen Yanyan's eyes were full of confusion. How did he find out about her and how did he get into the palace?

"It's you. What are you doing here?" Shen Yanyan looked at him warily. Since he could find her Yaohua Palace, it seemed that he knew everything about her.

"What, you defeated general? You want to try again?" Shen Yanyan looked at this cold-blooded man with full of provocation.

He is so brave that he dares to come to the door. Now if she shouts, he will surely die. No one knows what he is thinking to dare to break into the palace.

Leng Xue paused, anger welling up in his eyes, but thinking about his current situation, he decided not to go against her, as he couldn't beat her. If she called the palace guards over, he would surely die.

"I'm not here to fight with you. I want to ask you something." Leng Xue paused, his voice a little cold but polite.

"If you want to ask for advice, then do so. Who are you? Why should I answer your questions?" It was good enough that she didn't let anyone arrest him, but she still wanted him to answer questions. He was really dreaming.

"I can agree to one condition for you. As long as you say it, I can do it!" Leng Xue said in a cold voice. He could do anything for that news.

"Oh, really? Then tell me what the problem is and let me think about it." She wanted to know what he was going to do that made him come to the palace in such a cruel way.

"News about Ghost Blood." Leng Xue asked quickly, as if he was afraid that she would regret it.

Shen Yanyan sneered. As expected, she came for her master. "I am a little curious. Who is this ghost blood boy you mentioned? Are you willing to sacrifice your life for him?"

Leng Xue didn't say anything, just looked at Shen Yanyan coldly.

"What? If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. I don't know the ghost-blood boy you are talking about." Shen Yanyan shrugged and waved her hand.

After saying that, he lay down on the roof again and took a big gulp of wine.

"Is he still alive? Where is he now? What is your relationship with him?" Lengxue saw Shen Yanyan lying back on the roof, took two steps forward and asked.

Shen Yanyan's eyes turned cold, and she threw the cup in her hand heavily towards the cold-blooded man. "Am I asking you a question or are you asking me a question? It's not me who needs help now, right, brother?"

What kind of person is this? Doesn't he know his situation? He is still so arrogant. Does he really think she is a good person?
