The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Ji Chenyu came to Anhe Palace, but found the atmosphere in the palace gloomy and depressing.

"Your son pays respect to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be well."

"Emperor, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, mother." The queen mother looked unhappy. Did something happen?

Jiang Ziyi and Jiang Huajin bowed to Ji Chenyu obediently and said, "Greetings, Uncle Emperor."

Seeing the two sisters, Ji Chenyu's mood suddenly became good.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor."

Jiang Ziyi received the Queen Mother's gaze, pursed her lips slightly and nodded. Seeing their interaction, Ji Chenyu felt confused.

"Mother..."

"Emperor, let Ziyi take a look at you. Just treat it as checking your pulse."

Ji Chenyu was completely stunned. He looked at Jiang Ziyi with surprise, but he finally chose to remain silent. His mother must have her own intentions in doing this.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Ziyi."

Jiang Ziyi stepped forward and respectfully took Ji Chenyu's pulse. She inherited Shen Jiarou's intelligence, and her medical skills were praised by both Doctor Li and Doctor Liu.

As soon as he felt the pulse, Jiang Ziyi's face changed drastically: The emperor uncle was poisoned? It was a deadly poison. Someone actually murdered the emperor uncle.

The Queen Mother did not miss the change in her eyes: "Ziyi, how is it?"

"Grandmother, Uncle Emperor has been poisoned."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked, and the Queen Mother's eyes widened in fear.

Ji Chenyu didn't expect that he was poisoned. No wonder his health has been getting worse recently.

"Ziyi, how long do I have left to live?"

"It can be as long as a year, as short as half a year, or even worse, a month."

Both mother and son were shocked. Even the queen mother, who was the most powerful woman in the harem, felt deeply frightened by this.

"Emperor, this matter concerns your dragon body and life. Do you have any suspects in your mind?"

"Mother, I think I know who it is."

The Queen Mother quickly looked at Jiang Ziyi: "Ziyi, is there any way to treat this?"

"Yes, but the Emperor Uncle may not be able to hold on until then. And no matter how good my medical skills are, they are not as good as mother's. If mother can treat the Emperor Uncle personally, maybe it will be twice as effective with half the effort."

It was not until midnight that the Queen Mother, who had been tossing and turning in bed, finally made up her mind. In order to preserve their legitimate bloodline, she had to make a shocking decision.

At this moment she closed her eyes in pain, I will not let you people with evil ambitions get too complacent, you will eventually pay the price for your actions.

Ji Chenyu went to bed early and slept well. Four days later, in the early morning, he and all the officials welcomed the soldiers returning to the capital.

Shen Jiarou was still wearing white armor and a helmet as always. She sat upright on the horse, holding the reins with both hands, looking very majestic.

"Our regent princess has returned to the court."

"Yes, I heard that Leping State will be incorporated into Dalin's territory from now on."

"That's great. The people living on the border won't have to suffer from war anymore."

"No."

Some people knelt down to welcome him, and many people followed suit.

"Welcome the regent princess back to the court."

"Long live the Princess Regent."

Zhang Zirou, who was next to Shen Jiarou, looked at this scene and felt unprecedented comfort.

"Princess, I never thought we would have such a majestic moment."

Shen Jiarou smiled at her, as if in a spring breeze. Many people were infected by her smile, and the delicate girls in the pavilion were also mesmerized by her smile.

"Wow, the Princess Regent is so handsome."

"Why isn't she a boy?"

The young lady next to her joked, "Why, if you were a man, would you like to marry the regent princess?"

"It's not impossible."

"The competition is huge. If the Regent Princess is really a man, we all want to marry her."

The other sisters burst into laughter: "Hahaha."

Zhang Zirou looked up and saw the delicate young ladies looking at them, and she found it amusing.

"Princess, they seem to be looking at us."

Shen Jiarou looked over reflexively when she heard that, and some of the ladies shyly avoided her.

"Wow, the Princess Regent is looking at me."

"Obviously he was looking at me."

The army went all the way to the imperial city. Ji Chenyu's carriage was waiting at the palace gate, occasionally lifting the curtain to look outside.

Luo Cheng knew what he was thinking, so he pursed his lips and smiled, looking forward.

As the sound of horse hooves got closer, a large army gradually emerged.

"Your Majesty, it's the Regent Princess and her army."

General Song also returned to Beijing this time, and it was Shen Jiarou who personally invited him back to Beijing to receive his reward.

"Princess Regent, that can't be the Emperor's carriage in front of us, right?"

Shen Jiarou and Zhang Zirou were both startled. They squinted their eyes and looked over, and found that it was indeed Ji Chenyu's carriage.

"Princess, this..." The emperor actually greeted them personally at the palace gate. This showed that he valued her master too much.

When Shen Jiarou arrived at a position five meters away from Ji Chenyu's carriage, she suddenly pulled the reins, jumped off the horse neatly, came to the front of the emperor, knelt on one knee and saluted.

"Your humble servant pays respect to my brother, the emperor. Today I will lead the army back to the court."

Two palace maids lifted the curtains on both sides of the front door of the carriage, revealing Ji Chenyu, who looked dignified yet somewhat weak.

"No need to be so polite." Ji Chenyu personally got off the carriage and stepped forward to help up Shen Jiarou, who was kneeling on one knee.

"Fourth sister, please stand up. You are the general and regent princess of our dynasty."

"Brother, this is not only my sister's credit. General Song and his deputy general, as well as the military advisor, Zirou, Feimo and others have contributed a lot."

Seeing her not seeking credit for herself, Ji Chenyu looked up to her even more.

In the Jinluan Palace, the court officials looked at the majestic and heroic Shen Jiarou and Zhang Zirou and were shocked by the master and servant.

The battlefield is such a cruel place, but they can come back unscathed, it's simply amazing.

Ji Chenyu, sitting on the dragon throne, was so happy that he thought about rewards and began to reward General Song and others.

"General Song, listen to my orders."

"The end will be here."

"You are brave and good at fighting. You have guarded the border for many years. Although you didn't make any contributions in the early stage, you worked hard. In the middle stage, you followed the Regent Princess to rescue the prince consort and captured a city, which was a great achievement. Now, under the leadership of the Regent Princess, you have directly incorporated Leping into the territory of our dynasty, which is even greater.

I will appoint you as the third-rank Dingyuan General, grant you a general's mansion, 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, 10 sets of top-quality writing brushes, inkstones, and a box of gold, silver, and jewelry."

General Song bowed respectfully and thanked the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Zhang Zirou, listen to my orders."

"The end will be here."

"You and the Princess Regent are both as brave as men. I appoint you as a fourth-rank Xianwu general, grant you a general's mansion, a thousand taels of silver, a thousand taels of gold, and two boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry."

"I thank you for your grace."

After everyone had finished giving their rewards, Ji Chenyu looked at Shen Jiarou with a gentle smile.

"The fourth sister has no more titles to offer now, is there anything she particularly wants?"

The court officials looked at Shen Jiarou, who was calm and composed throughout the whole process, and saw her bowing respectfully and speaking.

"My sister wants to return to her fiefdom..." Before she could finish her words, a voice suddenly rang out.

"The Queen Mother is here!"
