Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty

Yan Nansheng stopped trying to dissuade her. She knew that what Sister Feifei said was right, but she just couldn't bear it.

She continued, "There is one more thing. Mother's presence in the capital cannot be concealed from the higher-ups. So, mother will return to the palace soon. We must prepare in advance and arrange some things."

Jin Feifei looked worried and said, "What should we do? I don't know what kind of situation you will face after you return to the palace."

Yan Nansheng looked determined and said in a deep voice: "We can only make every possible preparation and try our best to pave the way for Mother. Go and arrange some reliable people to serve Mother."

"Pay attention to everything, and report to me in time if there is any movement. Also, prepare some items that mother is used to, so that she can feel a little warm after returning to the palace."

Jin Feifei responded, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

"By the way, Master, you haven't given names to the servants yet."

"Let me think about it..."

Yan Nansheng looked at Jin Feifei deeply and sighed lightly. He looked at the scenery outside the window, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

She was well aware of the complicated situation in the capital. The future of the Yan family depended on her, and the Yan family would rely on her in the future.

At this moment, a breeze came from outside the study, gently blowing the window screen.

Yan Nansheng withdrew his gaze, regained his spirit, and began to think about his next plan.

In this ever-changing capital city, she must be strong and smart enough to protect her family and the Yan family.

At this time, Yan Nansheng had no idea that her father, the emperor, had already known of her existence many years ago, and he also knew that the person she had been thinking about day and night was in the Yan family of Jiuyou Mansion.

Her every move in the Yan family was recorded in detail early on and presented before the solemn and dignified imperial desk.

However, Yan Nansheng, immersed in family affairs and the warmth of kinship, was unaware of this.

Today, the atmosphere in the Yangxin Palace was solemn.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy and his eyes revealing complex emotions.

Eunuch Lai Fu stood aside with his head down, not daring to breathe.

"Lai Fu, she's back." The emperor's voice broke the silence, with an indescribable complex emotion in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Lai Fu lowered his head even more. He knew very well that it was best for him to remain silent at this moment.

The emperor glanced at Lai Fu and snorted coldly, "Humph, you old man, you know best what cannot be said."

Eunuch Lai Fu quickly responded, "Yes, this servant is the most stupid."

Eunuch Lai Fu had been with the emperor since he was young, and he understood the emperor's temperament best. At this moment, the emperor only needed an audience, so it would be safest for him to keep silent.

The emperor's thoughts gradually drifted away, and he thought of the woman who made him love and feel guilty.

"I was the one who let her down, but at that time..."

At that time, he was cowardly and weighed the pros and cons of power. Looking back now, he feels disgusted.

He could not protect the woman he loved, and he did not know how to hide his true feelings, which made Queen Jiang hate Yuanyuan deeply.

He would kill the person even if it meant arousing suspicion.

At that time, he had no idea that Yuanyuan was pregnant.

If I had known this earlier...

If I had known this earlier, I would have just sent more people to protect her...

But it wouldn't have resulted in her almost losing two lives!

For so many years, he could not recognize his wife and daughter.

That's his only daughter!

But she was forced to not show her body as a daughter to others.

It is said that he also practiced martial arts to strengthen his body in order to be able to take part in the imperial examinations.

If she were kept by my side, she would be the most noble princess in the palace!

There is no need to subject yourself to such hardship!

He passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of five, and ranked first on the list.

How much suffering must a five-year-old child, such a tiny person, have to endure!

When he thought of this, the emperor's resentment towards the Jiang family grew stronger.

"The Jiang family! The Jiang family! The Jiang family!!!" The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that the Jiang family deserved to die. He angrily waved his sleeves and overturned all the memorials on the imperial desk to the ground.

People knelt on the ground inside and outside the hall in an instant.

Eunuch Lai Fu knelt before the emperor and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

If it weren't for their coercion, if it weren't for the suppression of that old Prime Minister Jiang, as the emperor, why would I be forced to put my wife and daughter in a difficult position!

The emperor had always regarded Xie Xiyuan as his first wife. That was his obsession when he was young.

On the night when Xie Xiyuan was canonized as a noble concubine, the emperor was willing to offend the Jiang family and perform the marriage ceremony with Xie Xiyuan.

"We are married as husband and wife."

The emperor repeated these words silently in his heart, and he knew that he really loved her.

Now, the emperor felt that his life might not last long.

If anything happens to me, Yuanyuan and my daughter whom I have never met...

No, I can't die yet. If I die, that old thief Jiang will never let them go!

They won’t even let the Xie family go!

In recent years, Old Thief Jiang has grown older and is increasingly unable to do his job, while the younger generation of the Jiang family has not made any achievements.

The emperor's control over power was also further strengthened.

That's why the Jiang family was desperate and resorted to such a stupid move as poisoning.

"Humph!"

The emperor snorted angrily, his heart filled with resentment.

"Laifu, since the Imperial Hospital is full of mediocre doctors, then order the recruitment of folk doctors to come to the palace to treat me."

Eunuch Lai Fu, who had just stood up, knelt down again with a plop upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, think twice! How can a doctor outside the palace treat you? What if, what if someone with bad intentions sneaks in..."

Eunuch Lai Fu looked anxious and kept persuading the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked at Eunuch Lai Fu, who was two years younger than him but already had half-white hair, and knelt on the ground asking him to reconsider.

The emperor sighed deeply, feeling helpless.

"Laifu, you are the only one I trust in this palace. Go and do this."

"The Imperial Hospital is of no use..."

It’s funny to say that as an emperor, he had only a handful of people he trusted.

Before, I still had my mother to rely on, but now...

The emperor murmured softly: "Mother..."

Eunuch Lai Fu, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled slightly.

He was well aware of the emperor's predicament at the time, and also understood the emperor's concern for Concubine Xie and the princess.

In this palace, the struggle for power never stops, and every decision made by the emperor may affect the life and death of countless people.

Eunuch Lai Fu slowly raised his head and looked into the emperor's determined eyes. He secretly decided in his heart that he must do this matter well for the emperor.

The emperor's illness affects everyone's nerves, and the threat from the Jiang family is like a sword hanging over their heads, which may fall at any time.

He and the emperor are one. If something happens to the emperor, no matter who comes to the throne, his life will be over.

In this complicated situation, upon learning that Xie Xiyuan and Yan Nansheng had arrived in Beijing, the emperor was filled with worry and concern for them.

He didn't know how long he could hold on, nor did he know what would happen in the future.

But he knew that for the sake of his wife and daughter, and for the sake of his kingdom, he had to survive.
