"Host, host! Here they come!" Sensing two auras approaching rapidly, the Pearl of All Worlds excitedly floated in front of Yan Tinglan.

Yu Tongchen, also known as Yan Tinglan, sat up from the recliner and glanced at it indifferently, "Speak softly."

Noisy all day long.

"Oh."

"Go ahead, tell me the mission target."

"The target of the mission is Princess Yong'an Zhu Fuli, the orphan of General Zhu who died in battle. She was summoned to the palace to become a concubine just a month ago."

"Host, she will drown in three days because of saving the eldest prince Yan Chengfeng. You should leave quickly!"

Yan Tinglan stood up and looked at the two shadows that were already in front of him, his eyes cold: "Then let's go."

……

"Help! Help..." Yan Chengfeng struggled in the water. The lake water flooded his mouth and nose. He gradually became weaker and his consciousness became blurred.

A figure rushed into the lake, lifted Yan Chengfeng up and swam towards the shore.

Yan Chengfeng opened his eyes with difficulty, and blurryly met the eyes of the person who saved him, and finally fell into darkness.

After pushing Yan Chengfeng ashore, Zhu Fuli wanted to climb ashore, but he couldn't help coughing in his throat. The breath he had been holding dissipated instantly, and his body lost strength and fell into the lake.

Sweeping away by the lake water, Zhu Fuli's consciousness gradually faded away.

Yan Chengfeng on the shore suddenly opened his eyes and choked on some water. A cold look flashed in his eyes. He sat up, saw his wet hands, and looked into the lake in horror.

Seeing the morning light falling to the bottom of the lake, Yan Chengfeng crawled over subconsciously, "My Lady! Don't!"

Yan Tinglan arrived and grabbed him by the back of his collar and threw him away, then jumped into the lake, put his arm around Zhu Fuli's waist and brought her up.

Yan Chengfeng was thrown away and his vision went dark.

Ignoring Yan Chengfeng who fell to the ground, Yan Tinglan took advantage of the cover of his body to check the man's pulse and patted Zhu Fuli on the back.

"Father?!" After Yan Chengfeng got up, he was very surprised to see Yan Tinglan, but he was still worried that Zhu Fuli had the upper hand, so he stumbled towards Zhu Fuli.

"Is the imperial concubine okay?"

Zhu Fuli choked on the water, opened his eyes slightly, took a look, and then fainted again.

Yan Tinglan met her gaze as she tried hard to see clearly, and his hands that were loosely around her waist couldn't help but tighten.

"Empress Dowager!" Yan Chengfeng panicked.

Pulled back by Yan Chengfeng's scream, Yan Tinglan glanced at him and said, "She just fainted. Keep silent."

This weird little guy seems to be howling.

Upon hearing this, Yan Chengfeng let out the breath he had been holding, felt dizzy, and fell to the ground.

Behind her, a large group of palace servants came, and Ulala knelt on the ground, shouting "Long live the emperor!"

"Call the imperial physician." Yan Tinglan picked the person up and walked towards Changle Palace.

The personal eunuch Zhang Yuanlu glanced at Yan Tinglan, who didn't even look at the eldest prince Yan Chengfeng beside him, bent down to pick him up, and hurriedly followed behind Yan Tinglan.

Seeing Yan Tinglan holding Zhu Fuli in with an expressionless face, and water still dripping from their bodies, Zhu Fuli's two big maids, Si Shu and Si Qi, were startled. They didn't even bother to greet Yan Tinglan, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the queen?"

Yan Tinglan handed the person to them and said, "Change your clothes."

After taking a look at the unconscious person, Yan Tinglan turned and went to the outer hall.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince..." Zhang Yuanlu came in holding Yan Chengfeng and looked at Yan Tinglan.

Yan Tinglan lowered his eyes and took Yan Chengfeng's hand, put his fingers on his pulse, pinched his face and flipped his eyelids, then pointed to the soft couch next to him, "Take off your clothes, dry them, and stuff them in."

Zhang Yuanlu followed his instructions and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, didn't the emperor value the eldest prince the most before? Why does it seem that he doesn't care about him as much now that he's been seriously injured?

Several imperial doctors arrived breathlessly, and Zhang Yuanlu quickly called them to go and take the patient's pulse.

Yan Tinglan sat on the chair with wet clothes and lowered eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, I have asked someone to bring some clean clothes. Would you like to change first?"

"Also, do you want the imperial physician to take a look at your injury?"

Yan Tinglan nodded and stood up, "No problem."

After he changed his clothes, the concubines who received the news also arrived.

"I pay my respects to His Majesty!"

Yan Tinglan raised his eyes and said, "Go away."

Having not seen each other for over a month, the concubines who had just wanted to approach him with eager eyes were frightened and kept silent, but no one was willing to leave.

The concubines didn't want to miss this opportunity as they hadn't seen the emperor for more than a month.

In the end, it was Zhao Fu, the most favored and highest-ranking Zhao Zhaoyi, who bravely spoke up, "Your Majesty, I and the sisters heard that the eldest prince and the imperial concubine fell into the water, so we came to visit them."

Yan Tinglan glanced at her coldly and said, "Demoted to a concubine."

Zhao Fu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"The rest of you, go down one level each."

"Your Majesty, I am only concerned about the Imperial Concubine and the eldest prince. Why do you want to demote me?"

"One more level down."

They said they came to visit, but in fact they were just trying to win favor. Yan Tinglan didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Zhao Fu didn't dare to speak.

Zhang Yuanlu looked at Yan Tinglan, wanting to say something but stopping himself when he met his cold gaze.

"I won't say it for the third time, get out."

After the concubines left, Yan Tinglan looked at Zhang Yuanlu, "What do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, the concubines' positions were given to appease the court officials. If you lower their positions, what will happen if the officials have objections?"

"Then let me know if you have any opinions."

Zhao Yuanlu didn't dare to say anything after hearing this. Why did it feel like the emperor was more decisive and more majestic?

In the past, he could still bite the bullet and give some advice, but now that the emperor was staring at him, his scalp went numb and he dared not say a word.

Just after Princess Yong'an was named and entered the palace as a royal concubine, the emperor was assassinated and seriously injured. Seeing that he was beyond help, he was transferred to the bedroom by the royal secret guards for guarding. Unexpectedly, after six or seven days, Zhang Yuanlu saw him striding out of the bedroom. When he found him, he saw him hugging the royal concubine, all wet.

The imperial physician who had been waiting nearby spoke at this time.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince and the imperial concubine are fine. They may have a high fever tonight and need someone to watch over them at all times. They will be fine after taking the medicine properly."

Zhang Yuanlu waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"Yes." The imperial physician wrote a prescription and left.

Yan Tinglan looked at Zhang Yuanlu, "Take the eldest prince back to his palace."

"Yes."

Yan Tinglan entered the inner hall.

The maids in the inner hall hurriedly saluted him, "Your Majesty!"

Yan Tinglan looked at the face of the person on the bed for a while, then left.

Wanjiezhu was a little unsure, floating beside him, "Host, you are not interested in the mission protection target again, right? It's only been a short time since you came here, why are you falling in love with someone else so quickly?"

"I'm telling you, you can't be so unprincipled."

Yan Tinglan ignored it and went to review the memorials.

After entering the imperial study, Yan Tinglan looked at the pile of memorials, was silent for a while, and then resignedly opened them.

The young eunuch beside him hurried to grind ink for him.

After reviewing the memorials that had been piling up for six or seven days, Yan Tinglan stood up.

"Set the table."

"Yes."

Wanjiezhu told Yan Tinglan about Zhu Fuli's situation, so he didn't ask, "How is the eldest prince?"

"News came in that the eldest prince had a high fever and was having nightmares."

Yan Tinglan heard this and said, "We'll have dinner later and go see the eldest prince."

"Yes."

Arriving at Yan Chengfeng's Chaoyang Palace, Yan Tinglan waved away the palace servants and listened to Yan Chengfeng's nonsense with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

— (Shuang Jie, don’t ask.)

— (As for other concubines, if they don’t make trouble, they will be allowed to retire. If they make trouble, they will be kicked out.)
