Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Yaohua Palace.

Looking at the memorial on the desk, Shen Yanyan picked it up and examined it carefully.

I gave Dongxue a thumbs up, she was really efficient.

"Your Majesty, Eunuch Su is already waiting outside." Xia Zhu stepped forward and said softly.

Shen Yanyan nodded, "Xuan!"

Looking at the record on the memorial, Shen Yanyan was a little shocked. This Concubine Gao really had all the power in the palace. So many people were poisoned by her. Her eyes fell on the three words "Xiyuexuan" and Shen Yanyan smiled.

Yuan Hanshuang was so naughty that she even offended Concubine Gao? She really couldn't stand anyone.

"Dongxue, find a way to spread the news that Concubine Gao treated Yuan Hanshuang harshly. No matter how miserable it is, spread it as much as you can." The Queen Mother is still in the palace. Although Yuan Hanshuang is an abandoned child, the Yuan family has not arrived yet, and the Queen Mother is still here. She dares to treat her so harshly. This Concubine Gao is really arrogant!

"Master, do you want to create rift between the Gao and Yuan families?" Dongxue's mind worked quickly and she guessed the queen's intention at once.

“If the Empress Dowager and the Yuan family knew that she treated Yuan Hanshuang so harshly, the Empress Dowager would naturally take action. Treating Yuan Hanshuang so harshly in the harem is no different from slapping the Empress Dowager in the face!” Shen Yanyan felt that the Empress Dowager, as the previous champion of palace fighting, who was able to ascend to the throne of Empress Dowager from Queen without any children, was not someone who could be easily provoked.

Gao Jinyi, you're in for a treat.

"After the Queen Mother has dealt with her, I will present these to His Majesty. His Majesty will surely like to see these things now." Shen Yanyan looked at the memorial in her hand and sneered. Yuan Hanshuang was not going to die, but she was not going to have a good life.

Shen Yanyan sat at the head of the table, her luxurious palace dress making her look even more dignified and elegant. Her eyes were cold and majestic, making people dare not look directly at her.

When Eunuch Su entered the room, he hurried forward and saluted, "May the Imperial Concubine be well!" His voice was full of awe and humility.

Shen Yanyan nodded slightly, signaling Eunuch Su to stand up. Her eyes fell on Eunuch Su, and she asked calmly, "Eunuch Su, do you know why I called you here today?"

Eunuch Su shook his head and replied respectfully: "I don't know, please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."

Shen Yanyan's face was expressionless. She just nodded slightly and said, "I heard that Concubine Yuan is not living well in Xiyuexuan."

Eunuch Su was full of doubts. Didn't the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Yuan have a grudge? Why did the tone sound like a question?

"Your servant, you servant didn't know. The monthly allowances of the ladies in the palace are all paid according to their ranks. Your servant has absolutely not deducted any money. Your Majesty, please understand!" Eunuch Li was a little unsure of what she meant and spoke ambiguously.

Shen Yanyan looked at Eunuch Su and raised her eyebrows. "What I mean is that even though Concubine Yuan has been demoted, she is still the master. How can you treat her like this? Withholding her monthly allowance, after all, she is the niece of the Empress Dowager, isn't she? Wasn't this instigated by Concubine Gao, Eunuch Su?"

Shen Yanyan was already looking at Eunuch Su with a somewhat cold look in her eyes.

Eunuch Su paused, then understood what she meant, and quickly said, "I understand what your Majesty means. I will be delivering something to the Empress Dowager's palace tomorrow. Your Majesty, don't worry."

As servants, they have to be able to read people's expressions and judge the situation. Concubine Gao is a thing of the past. Now the Imperial Concubine is in great favor and the Shen family is also very powerful in the capital. If nothing unexpected happens, this Concubine will be the master of the harem in the future. He naturally knows what to do.

Shen Yanyan nodded. It was easy to talk to a smart person. "Well, go down."

Eunuch Su was as if he had been pardoned, and he quickly bowed and left. He walked out of the room, secretly relieved, because this imperial concubine was not someone to be trifled with, and he had to be careful in serving her.

"Your Majesty, it was Concubine Rong who went to Concubine Yuan's Xiyuexuan before. But Concubine Rong and Concubine Yuan were good friends, and when they met, they just talked about some ordinary family matters, nothing else."

"As for Concubine Rong, she has been in Yaoguang Pavilion since she came back from Xiyuexuan. She has not gone out and does not interact with other concubines on weekdays. There is nothing unusual." Dongxue felt that the palace maids and eunuchs from the masters to the masters in Yaohua Palace all had good tempers. She handled palace affairs for the concubine and would interact with them on weekdays. The people in Yaohua Palace gave her the best impression.

"Keep staring."

Shen Yanyan couldn't describe her feeling, she just really couldn't understand Lin Rongyue.

It’s better to have someone watching, just in case.

"Yes, my queen." Dongxue replied.

In the Yangxin Palace at night, the flickering candlelight illuminated Xiao Jingzhan's serious face.

He sat upright on the dragon throne, looking at Zheng Jing in front of him. "How is the situation in the imperial guards?"

"Reporting to your majesty, some people had some ulterior motives at the beginning, but I have already dealt with them." Zheng Jing said solemnly. He knew this day would come on the first day he joined the Imperial Guard. Everything he had done in the Imperial Guard over the past two years was rewarded today.

Xiao Jingzhan stood up and walked slowly towards Zheng Jing. His steps were steady and powerful, and every step was full of the aura of a strong man. When he came in front of Zheng Jing, Xiao Jingzhan stopped, looked into his eyes, and then solemnly handed the token of the commander of the imperial army to Zheng Jing.

"Zheng Jing, from today on, you will be the commander of the imperial guards." Xiao Jingzhan's voice was deep and powerful. "I have entrusted you with an important task. I hope you can do your best to protect the safety of the palace and me."

Zheng Jing took the token with both hands, knelt on one knee, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, rest assured that I will fulfill my mission and defend the safety of Your Majesty and the palace with my life."

Xiao Jingzhan nodded and reached out to help Zheng Jing up. He looked at Zheng Jing with trust and expectation in his eyes. "I believe you have the ability." He said, "The Imperial Guard is the last line of defense of the palace. You have a great responsibility."

Zheng Jing felt the trust and expectation of His Majesty, and a strong sense of responsibility surged in his heart. He knew the mission he was carrying and the importance of this position. He vowed in his heart that he must do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust.

Xiao Jingzhan patted Zheng Jing on the shoulder, then turned back to the dragon throne. He looked at Zheng Jing with a hint of relief in his eyes.

The father and son of the Zheng family were both first-class loyal ministers. With a loyal and brave general like Zheng Jing as the commander of the imperial guards, the safety of the palace was guaranteed, and it was worthwhile for him to send Zheng Yuechuan abroad in order to deceive Gao Xiang's party.

The Zheng family has always been loyal to the emperor. Zheng Yuechuan even left home and abandoned his wife and children in order to avoid Gao Xiang's party, to leave the country, and for him. This heart deserves to be called a loyal minister.
