Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

"I understand. I will go down and arrange it right away!" After saying this, Nanny Lu bowed and walked out of the hall.

The Queen Mother looked quietly at the scenery outside the palace, somewhat dazed.

Things have changed, His Majesty is no longer the same as it was three years ago, and the Yuan family is no longer the same as it was three years ago. She had taken great pains to send Yuan Hanshuang to the palace, hoping that her Yuan family could produce another queen, but now it seemed hopeless.

Shen Yanyan was so scheming, and the emperor favored her. The Shen family was also quite powerful in Liguo, and the children in the family were all ambitious. Unlike her Yuan family, which was all show and no substance and had long been a bright empty shell, unable to be saved.

What's the point of her struggling? The throne of queen will belong to the Shen family sooner or later.

The Yuan family’s defeat was also inevitable.

The Queen Mother sighed, as if she was helpless but also resigned to her fate. "Send a message back to the Yuan family. There is no need to select anyone to enter the palace. Ask Marquis Yuan to discipline Yuan Zihan. If he continues to act lawless, I will not be able to control his family."

The maid next to her leaned forward and said, "Yes, I will deliver the message right away."

A few days passed.

Yaohua Palace was quiet and warm at noon. Shen Yanyan sat quietly in the palace, holding a book in her hand, but her eyes were a little wandering.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and Dongxue ran in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Dongxue's voice was full of excitement and agitation. "The latest news in the palace is that Concubine Gao is plotting to murder the heir to the throne. His Majesty has already ordered an investigation. The Empress Dowager has sent Concubine Lan's former maid Qiuyue to the Yangxin Palace. I heard that His Majesty was very angry in the Yangxin Palace!"

Shen Yanyan laughed out loud when she heard this, put down the book in her hand, looked at Dongxue and asked, "Has Concubine Gao been punished?" This queen mother is so powerful, she pinched Gao Jinyi's vital point as soon as she made a move, she really deserves to be the queen mother. It's no wonder that she pushed such a good thing to her.

Dong Xue nodded and said, "The whole palace is discussing this matter now. It is said that in order to fight for the throne, Concubine Gao did not hesitate to attack the heir to the throne. His Majesty was furious and wanted to banish Concubine Gao to the cold palace, but Prime Minister Gao petitioned for mercy, and His Majesty has not yet decided how to deal with Concubine Gao."

"Tsk tsk tsk, how could he not be said to be a powerful prime minister? Murdering the royal heir is the capital crime of treason, and he is only banished to the cold palace? And once Prime Minister Gao takes action, she doesn't even have to go to the cold palace?" Shen Yanyan sighed. Power is really a good thing. With so much power, even the emperor has to look at Prime Minister Gao's face.

"Your Majesty is waiting for me. Go and hand over everything you have collected to His Majesty. It is not up to Prime Minister Gao whether Concubine Gao is sent to the cold palace or not. It is up to me." Shen Yanyan sneered. She was already very merciful by letting Concubine Gao go to the cold palace. Prime Minister Gao showed no mercy when he wanted to kill her brother.

If she hadn't been afraid that he would lose his beloved daughter, and would have been desperate and disrupted Xiao Jingzhan's plan, Concubine Gao would have surely died.

"Yes, your majesty, I'll go right away." Dongxue said as she walked towards the inner room and took out the books she had collected in the past.

"An Qi, follow her." Shen Yanyan said to the air, then shifted her gaze back to the book.

Dongxue held the booklet, bowed to the empress, and walked out the door. Just as Dongxue was leaving the house, a figure passed by the roof.

Shen Yanyan's lips curled slightly, she was quite positive!

There has been a huge uproar in the palace recently, and a shocking piece of news has spread to every corner of the palace.

It is said that Concubine Gao actually murdered the royal heir, and that Concubine Lan's miscarriage was instigated by Concubine Gao.

Not only that, she also humiliated the concubines in the palace at will. Her behavior was arrogant and domineering, which attracted people's attention.

Concubine Yuan of Xiyuexuan was even more severely treated by Concubine Gao. She was starved and humiliated by the palace maids. All of this was instigated by Concubine Gao. When this was heard, everyone in and outside the court was shocked by Concubine Gao's actions.

When His Majesty heard about this, he was furious. He disregarded the pleas of Prime Minister Gao and others and stripped Concubine Gao of her position and banished her to the cold palace.

The former court and the harem are all discussing

Concubine Gao, the most dazzling figure in the palace in the past, has now come to this point.

Once upon a time, she relied on her family's power and influence to call the shots in the palace, and no one dared to compete with her.

However, the wheel of fate kept turning. The struggles and intrigues in the palace gradually made her lose her advantage, and she could not escape the fate in the end.

Officials from the previous dynasty were thinking about the impact of this change on the situation in the court.

The ever-changing situation in the palace makes people sigh at the fickleness of fate. The past glory is like a passing cloud, and the noble concubine Gao is just a passer-by in this long history.

The prime minister's residence was in a mess.

Gao Xiang's face was livid, and he waved the objects in his hands angrily, smashing them around wantonly. The sound of porcelain breaking and furniture breaking intertwined, as if he was venting his inner anger.

His eyes burned with vicious hatred, full of deep resentment towards Xiao Jingzhan.

Once upon a time, they might have maintained a hint of harmony on the surface, but now, Xiao Jingzhan was too lazy to even pretend and directly confronted him.

Gao Xiang gritted his teeth and secretly swore in his heart that he would fight Xiao Jingzhan to the death.

He was unwilling to be suppressed, and even more unwilling to see his power and status threatened. In this fight, it was either him or himself.

In the chaotic study, Gao Xiang's expression looked particularly ferocious. His anger raged like a storm, making people shudder.

"Prime Minister, calm down. The best thing to do now is to take the Imperial Concubine out of the cold palace. The Imperial Concubine has been spoiled since she was a child, and she will not be able to stay in the cold palace for long." Guo Liang, who was standing aside, spoke at the right time.

Prime Minister Gao calmed himself down, sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and looked at the full moon in the night sky of the palace with a sinister look in his eyes.

"I can't wait that long. Tell them to speed up and get it done before the end of the year."

"Yes, sir, I will do it."

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

"Hahaha, that Prime Minister Gao must be so angry that he must have vomited blood. Concubine Gao was banished to the cold palace, and he had to watch helplessly. Shen Yanyan laughed happily. When she thought about the Prime Minister and Concubine Gao, she wanted to laugh. She had to visit Concubine Gao in the cold palace tomorrow. She used to scheme against this and that, but now she was banished to the cold palace. I don't know what her expression will be when she sees me.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at her happy expression, pinched her slender waist with one hand, pulled her over to sit on his lap, and smiled dotingly.

He didn't think about what happened on the Queen Mother's side. She was so scheming and used the phrase "killing with a borrowed knife" to the fullest. Not only was he not disgusted, but he was happy instead. He was happy that she could be so scheming and thoughtful. She was going to be the mother of a country in the future, so it was not a bad thing to have some thoughts.

Li Defu, who was standing aside, looked at the stunning appearance of the Imperial Concubine and the posture of His Majesty, and for no reason he thought of the four words "evil concubine who brings disaster to the country". Although the Empress did not have any vicious thoughts at all, these four words were very appropriate in this situation.
