Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Cold Palace,

Gao Jinyi sat blankly on the cold ground, his eyes empty, as if he had lost his soul.

She could not believe that the emperor who once loved and respected her so much had actually deposed her and banished her to the cold palace.

Did he really have no feelings for her at all? During the three years in the palace, she did her duty as a concubine every day. No matter how much she loved him, he could never see her.

Murdering the heir to the throne? Xu Xiaolan had been dead for so long, and he was still thinking about avenging her. Wasn't Shen Yanyan his favorite?

She looked around at the dilapidated house and the bleak environment, her heart filled with despair and helplessness.

Even her father didn't plead for her, so how could she ever leave this cold palace?

The lime on the wall has peeled off, revealing mottled marks, as if telling the vicissitudes of the history of this palace.

The room was filled with a damp smell, making people feel depressed and dull.

Gao Jinyi had been the daughter of the prime minister since she was young. She had the best food, clothing and other necessities. She had never lived through such a life of food shortage.

Gao Jinyi recalled her former glory and wealth, and those days of luxury seemed to be still before her eyes. She used to be the most honorable concubine, enjoying endless glory and favor.

But now, everything has vanished, and she is left with only loneliness and solitude in this cold palace.

She was unwilling to spend her life in the cold palace, so she had to find a way to get her father to rescue her.

"Lanxiang, find a way to send a message to my father, asking him to find a way to rescue me." There was nothing in the cold palace, and she couldn't even write a letter.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Now the people of His Majesty have strictly guarded the cold palace. Those of us who were in the palace before can no longer use Your Majesty. The Prime Minister will definitely find a way to rescue Your Majesty. Don't worry, Your Majesty." Lanxiang knelt on the ground and looked at the desolate surroundings. She still couldn't understand why the Imperial Concubine was sent to the cold palace all of a sudden. Some of the crimes accused against the Empress were committed by her, but some were not.

Things happened so fast that they were banished to the cold palace before they could react. Empress Dowager, Imperial Concubine, Your Majesty! Lanxiang couldn't understand and didn't want to think about it anymore. She had already been sent to the cold palace, but she had to live on. The queen was a child of a rich family and had never suffered such hardship. She had to clean up this room, otherwise the queen couldn't live there.

"Your Majesty, please take a rest for a while. I will clean up the room." After saying that, Lanxiang started to clean up.

Gao Jinyi looked at Lanxiang in front of him and slowly came to his senses. The imperial edict said that she had plotted to murder the heir to the throne, bullied concubines, and withheld their share of the salary. Qiuyue was sent to the Yangxin Palace by the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was not unaware of her behavior in the past, but why did she come out to deal with her at this time? She had kept the fact that she treated Yuan Hanshuang harshly a secret. It seemed that the bitch Shen Yanyan had found out from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and informed the Empress Dowager, forcing her to take action against her.

She had underestimated this bitch. She was so cunning. No wonder Yuan Hanshuang fell into her hands so easily. She had been in the palace for three years, but she was still no match for this bitch who sent her to the cold palace at will.

His Majesty was assassinated when he returned to the palace, and all the people his father had placed in the imperial guards were replaced. She didn't plot to murder the royal heir for any reason. All of this was a trap set by that bitch Shen Yanyan. In order to retaliate against her, she revealed her relationship with Shen Tingjiang and asked my father to deal with the Shen family.

At this point, what else is there for her to not understand? His Majesty also agreed with Shen Yanyan's treatment of her. She has always known that His Majesty and her father are not on good terms, but now it seems that His Majesty will not tolerate her Gao family. The situation between her father and His Majesty is already a life-and-death struggle, and she is the victim of their power struggle. She is afraid that she will never be able to leave this cold palace for the rest of her life.

Gao Jinyi cried out in sorrow, just like her fate, tragic and hopeless.

She was just a chess piece from beginning to end. Her father loved her, but if it came to a life-and-death moment, he would definitely choose power instead of himself.

When Lanxiang heard the Queen's cry, her heart tightened and she stopped what she was doing. She quickly put down the things in her hands, walked quickly to the Queen's side, and asked with concern: "Queen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Gao Jinyi raised her head and looked at Lanxiang, her eyes full of tears. She waved her hand, indicating that she was fine, then stood up and walked out.

Lanxiang looked at the queen's back, her heart full of worry. She knew that the queen was in a bad mood, but she didn't know how to comfort her.

She could only follow the empress silently, hoping to give her some help when the empress needed it.

Gao Jinyi walked into the garden and stopped. She felt extremely sad at the desolation of the garden. Why could she only be a pawn in their power game? Why?

Yaoguang Pavilion.

Concubine Rong dozed comfortably on the couch, listening to Yuan'er's chirping voice and smiled slightly.

Yuan Er looked at the face of the Empress. Is the Empress smiling? The Imperial Concubine was banished to the cold palace. Although it was said that it was because of her past, the people in the palace were not fools. It must not be that simple.

Although the Imperial Noble Consort had nothing to do with this matter on the surface, many people saw that on the day the Imperial Noble Consort was demoted, her personal maid Dongxue went to the Yangxin Palace with a pile of books. After that, news spread that the Imperial Concubine had been banished to the cold palace. This matter must have been related to the Imperial Noble Concubine.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort must be no simple person. The fact that the Imperial Noble Consort was banished to the cold palace must be related to her." Yuan'er moved closer to Concubine Rong and spoke in a low voice.

Lin Rongyue slowly opened her eyes, looked at the beautiful scenery outside, and smiled softly, "Of course this matter is related to her. Our Imperial Concubine is not as simple as she seems on the surface."

"However, it has nothing to do with us. Tell the palace maids to watch their mouths and not talk nonsense. If anyone is discovered, they will be taken to the laundry department." After Lin Rongyue finished speaking, she waved her hand, signaling Yuan'er to leave.

Yuan'er wanted to say something, but when he saw the empress's gesture, he paused, leaned over and stepped back.

She didn't dare to refute the queen. She always felt that the queen was different now. When she was serious, her eyes were scary. Yuan'er didn't dare to resist and followed her. The queen had her own ideas. She was just a servant and didn't dare to say much.

"Shen Yanyan, Gao Jinyi, Yuan Hanshuang, tut tut tut, it's so complicated. Shen Yanyan, you are really hard to deal with. I thought they were the two difficult ones, but now you have dealt with them without any effort. Tut...! Hehe!" Lin Rongyue leaned on the couch and talked to herself. Her expression was completely different from the gentleness just now. Her eyes were full of calculation and ruthlessness.
