Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System

The night was dark, but the lights in the palace were still bright. This sudden assassination made the peaceful night no longer peaceful.

Tian Yichen did not go to Shufei's palace again, but turned around and went straight back to Yuqing Palace.

The commander of the guards knelt respectfully on the ground and humbly reported to the emperor the details of what happened tonight.

After hearing this, Tian Yichen frowned and his deep eyes were filled with coldness.

"The assassin was able to track my whereabouts so accurately. There must be something fishy going on."

The commander of the imperial guards had sweat on his forehead; he knew that the emperor was questioning his vigilance.

"I failed in my duty and failed to detect the assassin's movements in advance. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"Go down and receive your punishment later."

Tian Yichen waved his hand and motioned for him to stand up.

"What I am more concerned about is whether there is a traitor behind this. Especially the Concubine Shu who turned over the card tonight. Is the assassin so aware of my movements?"

The guard commander's expression changed slightly.

He immediately understood the emperor's intention, which was to ask him to thoroughly investigate whether Concubine Shu's background was related to tonight's assassination.

"I will check it immediately."

"Go down." Tian Yichen nodded, "Call Ye Xiao over."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

Although the assassination attempt tonight was successfully thwarted, that peerless master left a deep mark in his heart.

Tian Yichen sat on the dragon throne with a deep gaze, his heart filled with curiosity and doubts about the secret guard.

"With such skills, why is he willing to stay in the dark? What is his intention towards me?"

As an emperor, he could not tolerate any betrayal or negligence around him. The loyalty of this secret guard was something he had to take seriously.

His martial arts skills are much stronger than mine. If he shows any rebellious intention, he will kill me without a trace.

Ye Xiao had a sturdy figure and steady steps. As soon as he stepped into Yuqing Palace, he felt the solemn atmosphere in the palace.

He knelt on one knee, his voice steady and powerful.

"May your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"Yexiao, what is the background of the secret guard who rescued me tonight?"

Tian Yichen looked straight at Ye Xiao and went straight to the point.

Ye Xiao's heart trembled. He knew very well that the fact that this secret guard was disguised as a man must not be leaked. Any carelessness might lead to her death.

He answered carefully.

"Your Majesty, the secret guard is actually the orphan of General Zhennan Liu Zhenxiong. He has shown extraordinary talent in martial arts since he was young."

"Oh? The orphan of General Zhennan?" Tian Yichen was quite surprised when he heard that.

He remembered that Liu Zhenxiong's family was loyal and brave, but they were massacred on the way back to Beijing.

He always suspected that it was his uncle who did it, but his uncle had the shadow guards left to him by the retired emperor before his death, so even his father couldn't touch him.

You must not act rashly before you have sufficient evidence.

"That's right. Before General Liu Zhennan died, he entrusted him to me. He left a will before his death, telling me to repay His Majesty's kindness and to be loyal to the emperor for the rest of his life. But he came back with a high fever that wouldn't go away, and he lost his memory after waking up. He didn't remember his past, and only remembered to protect His Majesty. He only had a loyal heart."

After hearing this, Tian Yichen's doubts gradually dissipated.

He knew very well that Liu Zhenxiong was loyal to the emperor and patriotic all his life, so his orphan would naturally not be a treacherous person. Even if he lost his memory, he would remember to be loyal to him.

Furthermore, if such an extraordinary master had any evil intentions, he would probably have died long ago.

"I see."

Tian Yichen nodded slightly, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Since he is a descendant of a loyal and righteous man and has made great contributions in saving the emperor, he should be rewarded."

Tian Yichen waved his hand, signaling Ye Xiao to retreat.

"Go and call him here. I want to see him in person."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Ye Xiao bowed and took his leave, feeling very nervous. He would have to remind her later.

Soon, a young man in night clothes slowly walked into the Yuqing Palace, knelt on the ground, and performed a standard salute.

"See Your Majesty."

The voice is clear and firm, like a mountain spring, pure and untainted by dust.

"Keep your head up."

Tian Yichen's voice carried an irresistible majesty, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

He sat on the dragon throne and looked at the little secret guard in front of him.

This young man looks thin and small, but every step he takes is a deadly move.

Liu Qianyu looked up as she was told.

She was wearing the same jet-black metal mask that all secret guards wore. The mask had no extra decorations and was low-key and restrained. The surface had been processed with a special process and had a cold luster.

The mask covered his entire face, leaving only a pair of eyes as clear as spring water.

They are like the purest streams in the mountains, sparkling with light unpolluted by the world, simple yet full of curiosity and vitality.

These eyes seem to be able to see into people's hearts, yet they maintain a purity that is not tainted by dust.

"Stand up, you have been rewarded with a hundred taels for your service in protecting the emperor."

Tian Yichen waved his hand, signaling him to stand up.

He was deeply attracted by those eyes. The simplicity and innocence revealed in those beautiful and clear eyes formed a sharp contrast with the complicated palace life he usually saw. It seemed as if he could see endless purity and vitality in them.

He couldn't help but wonder what kind of face could give birth to such a moving look?

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Qianyu stood up, her movements quick and graceful.

“Take off the mask.”

"Yes."

Liu Qianyu slowly raised her hand and gently removed the metal mask covering her face.

A stunning face that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female was revealed.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

Her skin was fair and delicate, as flawless as first snow, with a faint sheen that seemed to reveal light.

There is a heroic look in her brows, yet she retains a feminine softness, making it difficult to tell her gender.

The most unforgettable thing is her eyes, which are as clear as spring water, bright and lively, flashing with simplicity and innocence, as if they can wash away all the filth in the world.

A pair of dimples appear and disappear, adding a bit of playfulness and cuteness.

Tian Yichen was distracted for a moment, his eyes lingered on the boy's face, unwilling to move away for a long time.

He had never seen such a pure, beautiful, and androgynous boy.

That purity and innocence made him curious and pity.

"What's your name?"

There was an imperceptible hint of tenderness in Tian Yichen's voice.

"Your Majesty, my name is An Jiu."

Liu Qianyu's voice was still as clear as spring water, her eyes were innocent and childlike, and the blush on her cheeks deepened a little.

"Why is he called An Jiu?"

I didn't expect this boy to be so innocent that he blushed even when saying his name.

"Because I am number nine among the secret guards, I am named Dark Nine."

Liu Qianyu lowered her head, revealing a pair of beautiful dimples.

Like a blank piece of paper, it makes people want to touch it.

A smile appeared on Tian Yichen's lips.

He stretched out his slender fingers and gently touched the dimple on the boy's cheek.

The boy shrank slightly like a frightened kitten, then tilted his head and rubbed his fingers gently.

Tian Yichen's fingers seemed to be burned and he pulled them back abruptly.

The delicate, smooth and soft touch lingered on the fingertips, and he couldn't help but gently twist the fingers hanging at his sides.

"You don't need to wear a mask anymore. It's a waste of your face. Step back."

His voice had become softer.

Liu Qianyu blinked her eyes with surprise on her face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

Liu Qianyu jumped lightly onto the beam. Her figure turned into a graceful arc under the candlelight and then disappeared.

It left a hint of fragrance, which made Tian Yichen feel at ease.
