Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanyan waved the sword in her hand, her figure as agile as a cheetah. The sword flashed cold light in the air, as fast as lightning.

Her eyes were cold and firm, staring at the man in black in front of her. Every move was extremely accurate, hitting the man in black's vital points with a fatal blow. The blade cut the man in black's neck, and blood spurted out like a fountain, splashing on the ground.

Her movements were smooth and continuous, without the slightest hesitation or delay. Each of her swords stabbed at the black-clothed man's vital points without any ambiguity.

The man in black had no power to fight back under her attack and could only dodge and resist. But Shen Yanyan's attack was too fierce and the man in black could not resist it at all.

As time went by, more and more blood appeared on the ground, forming a pool of blood. Shen Yanyan's sword was also stained with blood, flashing a strange light in the green bamboo forest.

Shen Tingjiang was shocked when he saw Shen Yanyan in front of him. This... this... her martial arts were so good that even he was not as good as her.

On the other side, An Yi and his men were not weak either. They were the emperor's secret guards, agile and well-trained, and naturally much better than these deadpools.

The secret guards learned the techniques of killing, and their swords all fell on the necks of the men in black. Just like Shen Yanyan, almost every move killed him.

The other secret guards were not to be outdone, and they all used their unique skills to fight the man in black. In the bamboo forest, swords were flying everywhere, knives were flashing, and shouts of killing shook the sky.

Soon, most of the black-clad men in the bamboo forest were gone. The attacks of the secret guards became more and more fierce, and the black-clad men gradually couldn't resist and began to retreat step by step.

Seeing this, An Yi shouted, "Kill them all!"

The secret guards attacked the black-clad men even more bravely, not giving them any chance to breathe. Finally, the last black-clad man fell to the ground. Looking at the corpses on the ground, Shen Tingjiang and the others who followed him looked at each other, their eyes full of admiration.

An Yi and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They put away their weapons and began to check the scene. After making sure that there were no missed men in black, they walked to Shen Yanyan and bowed, "My queen, no one is alive."

Shen Yanyan nodded, wiped the blood off her face with a handkerchief, and threw it on the ground in disgust.

These people were quite difficult to kill, and blood splattered all over her face.

Shen Yanyan turned around, looked at Shen Tingjiang and the others and asked, "Brother, are you okay?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, not saying a word, their expressions all in disbelief. Is this the Imperial Concubine? Is she so tough?

Shen Yanyan nodded, as if everything was alright.

Looking at the wounds of all sizes on everyone's body, An Yi signaled the other secret guards to come forward and bandage a few people, and he went up to bandage Shen Tingjiang. The queen's brother, you have to be nicer to him.

Shen Yanyan stood in the bamboo forest with a sword in hand. She looked out at the thick fog which showed no sign of dissipating and frowned.

Then he bent down again to check the bodies lying on the ground. These people had different energy levels from normal people. If he couldn't kill them with one blow, they would be exhausted. But they seemed to never get tired, which was against common sense.

Shen Yanyan walked to Shen Tingjiang's side, looked at the two of them and said, "These people are abnormal, they are different from ordinary people. They seem to not feel tired or in pain. It's really strange."

The two of them nodded, they also noticed this.

"Let's go out first and see what's going on with these people later. An Yi, bring the body back and take a look." Shen Yanyan looked at An Yi and ordered!

Shen Tingjiang was a little surprised when he saw his sister like this. He originally thought that she was just smart, but today he realized that his sister was different from others.

"Yes, your majesty." After saying this, An Yi ordered his men to take a body away, and the rest of the people supported the injured people and walked out of the bamboo forest.

An Yi walked in front, holding a sharp blade, very alert. This bamboo forest was too strange. They walked in the bamboo forest for a long time, but it was like a ghost wall, wandering in the depths of the bamboo forest, and kept going in circles.

Shen Yanyan frowned and said worriedly, "Are we stuck in a maze? Why are we going around in circles?"

After hearing what Shen Yanyan said, everyone started to get nervous. Shen Tingjiang suggested, "Should we go back? Maybe we took the wrong road."

Shen Yanyan shook her head and said, "No, we can't go back. It's useless to go back. We have already gone back and forth several times."

After hearing what Shen Yanyan said, everyone nodded. Then, everyone started to move forward.

The group had been walking in this maze-like place for a long time, but still could not find a way out. Their steps became heavy, and fatigue gradually set in. Shen Yanyan stopped and looked around, with an ominous premonition in her heart. She realized that there might be some kind of formation set up here, which put them in trouble.

She glanced at the crowd, and seeing the fatigue and confusion on their faces, she couldn't help but feel anxious. She knew that she had to find a way to break the formation as soon as possible, otherwise they might be trapped here forever.

"Everyone, let's take a break first." Shen Yanyan said, "I think there may be a formation here, and we need to find a way to break it."

After hearing her words, everyone found a place to sit down and rest. Shen Yanyan was also tired, so she found a place to sit down and rest.

"Your Majesty, I know some mechanical devices and formations. I'll go and explore the way." An Yi stood up and said to her.

Shen Yanyan nodded, "You take the rest of the people to take a look, we will wait for you here!" She looked at Shen Tingjiang and the others. Although their lives were not in danger, the young and the old were all injured. In addition, they had been wandering in the forest for a long time, so their faces turned pale.

Anyway, I don't understand these formations, so there is really no other way. Now I'm hungry and tired, so I might as well let An Yi and the others explore the way.

Shen Tingjiang looked at his sister, feeling extremely guilty. He had been trapped and now had implicated his sister and His Majesty. If His Majesty returned too late and something happened, he would be held responsible.

"Yan Yan, you and His Majesty should have returned to the palace first and shouldn't have come to see me. It's all because of your uselessness that you have been implicated." Shen Tingjiang looked at Shen Yanyan with guilt and regret in his heart. If he had not been fooled at that time, this would not have happened.

"Brother, don't say that. They want to deal with His Majesty and the Shen family. Even if there is no today, there will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. If he and I go back to the palace and something happens to you, I will never forgive myself. It's all because of me that our Shen family has fallen into this situation." Shen Yanyan actually felt a little guilty. If she hadn't fallen in love with Xiao Jingzhan and wanted to stand by his side, her family could have stayed out of it. It was she who pulled them into Xiao Jingzhan's camp. To be honest, she was a little selfish.

"You are a member of the Shen family. Whatever decision you make, as long as you think it is right, just do it. Your brother and family will always support you. You entered the palace because of the Shen family. No matter what, we will stand behind you." Shen Tingjiang said softly. They are a family, and as long as the Shen family exists, they will always protect her.

Shen Yanyan smiled and nodded, feeling somewhat moved. She knew that these were not empty words, because because of her letter, her grandmother and uncles supported her unconditionally and stood by her. Naturally, she would not abandon anyone in the Shen family.

Seeing the faces of the few people getting worse and worse, Shen Yanyan remembered that the pills she brought with her could help them recover some of their strength.

She took out a bottle of pills from her waist, gave one pill to each of the four injured people, and asked them to take it.

As a son of a wealthy family, Shen Tingjiang had been well-informed since childhood and had a keen sense of smell for all kinds of precious items. When he took the pill from his sister, the unique fragrance instantly hit his nose. He sniffed it gently and was surprised. Is this the extremely precious Baoyuan Pill?

She picked one for each person like a candy bean?

A trace of shock flashed in his eyes, and the pill in his hand seemed to become heavy. He knew very well how precious Baoyuan Pills were. This kind of pill was usually made from extremely rare medicinal materials and could save lives. It would be a pity if it was used like this.

"Is this Baoyuan Pill?" Shen Tingjiang asked in shock.

Shen Yanyan nodded.

"Yan Yan, this medicine is too precious. You should keep it for yourself. We can still hold on for a while." Shen Tingjiang said to Shen Yanyan. Seeing that the commander did not eat it, the other three did not dare to eat it either.

They all knew the value of this medicine and did not dare to take it casually.

Shen Yanyan looked at the others, all looking at her and not daring to take it. She frowned, "This medicine is precious, but we don't know when we can get out. If you don't take the medicine, you will definitely die if you meet the black-clothed man again. Life is important, take it all, it's just a few pills, if it's gone, it's gone." This medicine is a rare thing outside, but it's just a medicine for her, as much as she wants. But she couldn't say that she had plenty of this medicine, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Shen Yanyan pretended to be generous and said, with a hint of heartache in her tone.

After hearing this, everyone thought about it and agreed. This forest was very strange and they couldn't find a way out. No one knew what would happen next and no one could guarantee that the man in black would not come back. Shen Tingjiang thought about it and decided that after taking the medicine, he had to maintain his strength and vitality in order to get out of the bamboo forest.

After eating, Shen Tingjiang looked at the other three and nodded. The three also took the medicine. Although the long fight and the wounds of varying sizes on their bodies were not fatal, they knew that if it dragged on, they would definitely not be able to get out of the bamboo forest.

Shen Tingjiang stared at his sister, feeling touched. She had to become stronger in the future to protect her family. With the Shen family, she would have an easier time in the palace.

The other three were also very respectful to Shen Yanyan. They thought that the Imperial Concubine was so kind that she could share such important things with them, their subordinates. The three of them felt that they owed her a life.

If it weren't for the Queen, they would have died today.

Baoyuan Pills are indeed a priceless pill. The moment they took them, their complexions improved a lot and they thought to themselves that it is indeed a miracle drug.
