Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

The fight in the palace ended with Guo Tianquan dying with his eyes open. His body was thrown at the palace gate that night. Early in the morning, before the emperor went to court, the eunuch ran in with unsteady steps to report. The emperor paused and his expression changed.

But before the emperor could catch his breath, another eunuch rushed in.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this is terrible, this is terrible! The entire Grand Marshal's Mansion was massacred last night, not even the servants were spared. Guo... Guo Guo, there are no survivors in the Grand Marshal's Mansion!"

"Where's my uncle? Where's Guo Fangyan?"

The eunuch knelt on the ground with his face touching the ground, trembling all over.

"Your Majesty... none... none of them survived. General Guo's body was hung on the gate of the mansion, and the same thing happened to all the other masters in the mansion. They were all hung outside the gate. Right now, all the people in the city are... all gathered in front of the Guo Mansion..."

"How dare you! Who? Who dares to treat me like this?"

The emperor was furious. Not only the palace maids and eunuchs, but even the nobles accompanying him did not dare to say a word. The emperor was about to leave, pulling on his dragon robe, which he had not put on yet. However, before he took three steps, he fell down silently. This frightened all the palace servants. They hurriedly carried the emperor to the bed, and called for the empress dowager and the imperial physician. The whole palace was in chaos.

At this moment, the palace had become quiet. Steward Zhou had all the corpses transported to the dungeon. Xiao Yichen drank a bottle of bone-dissolving water, and the pile of corpses began to slowly disappear, finally turning into a pool of blood and gradually sinking into the ground.

After Shen Nanyan visited Lu Jiusi, she asked Wu You and her people to leave. Although Lu Jiusi had not woken up yet, his condition was relatively stable. Now they just had to wait for him to wake up and give Lu Jiusi an IV drip. Only then did Shen Nanyan leave the house.

Outside the door, Xiao Yichen and the others stayed up all night, but except for Yu Qingcang, the others were still in good spirits.

"Before it gets completely light, everyone except Pavilion Master Xiao should go back."

"I'm here, with you."

Shen Yunzhi was naturally the first one to disagree.

"You are useless here. The people from Tianyi Pavilion are enough. The prince is still asleep, so nothing can happen to you. After daybreak, my brother and Prince Shang will go to the palace as usual. If there is any situation in the palace, send someone to inform us."

"Yes, the princess is right. Otherwise, if you all stay in the palace, wouldn't that give the emperor an opportunity to arrest you? Although we killed the person, if the emperor doesn't make it clear, we will pretend we don't know, so just do what you need to do."

Shen Nanyan glanced at Xiao Yichen, then turned and looked at Shen Yunzhi timidly.

"Alright then, the three of us will leave first. We'll send you a letter if there's anything."

Shang Ci was as calm as ever. After he finished speaking, he waved to Shen Yunzhi and Yu Qingcang, indicating that they should follow him out of the secluded place.

"Prince Shang."

Shen Nanyan suddenly thought of something and called Shang Ci. The two of them walked to the corner of the wall, and Shen Nanyan spoke.

"Are there any of our own people in the palace?"

"Have."

"Yue Hanzhou will definitely enter the palace today and find a way to put this in Shen Lingxi's tea in Nianyun Palace so that the two of them will meet. Do you understand?"

Shen Nanyan's slender little hand handed Shang Ci a small paper bag. Shang Ci's eyes met hers, and the next second he reached out to take the paper bag.

"I understand. Don't worry."

For the whole next day, people from Tianyi Pavilion were guarding every corner of the palace, but they did not show their presence. Instead, the palace was very busy, with ministers coming in and out, and the emperor's confidants were all sent to the Taiwei Mansion, but no trace was found. All the people died from a hidden weapon they had never seen before, but they only saw wounds and no hidden weapon.

Just when everyone was puzzled, Yue Hanzhou, dressed in plain clothes, quietly entered the palace and was led by his eunuch directly into the emperor's bedroom. However, before he could stand still, the emperor's teacup was thrown at him, and Yue Hanzhou hurriedly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"How can I calm down? Guo Tianquan's body was thrown outside the palace gate. What were you doing? You went to the palace together, why didn't you die?"

"I am guilty, but I really don't know what happened to Lord Guo at the front gate. There are not only palace soldiers in the palace, but also some assassins from the underworld. The most important thing is... Your Majesty, I suspect Shen Nanyan is in the palace."

"What time is it that you tell me this? Even if I want Shen Nanyan again, it's just for fun. How can it be compared with killing Lu Jiusi?"

"No, Your Majesty, I have heard that Shen Nanyan has a hidden weapon that can kill people without them even noticing. Last night, the assassins in the palace were armed with that kind of hidden weapon. Otherwise, how could they have survived if I had led so many people and Lord Guo attacked them from both sides?"

The emperor didn't say anything, but just stared at Yue Hanzhou with doubtful eyes, as if he was considering how credible Yue Hanzhou's words were.

"Has anyone seen it?"

"Yes, Shen, who entered the palace, saw it with her own eyes, so I know about it."

At this time, the emperor was only thinking about the hidden weapon that could kill people, and didn't think about anything else.

"Shen Nanyan... Shen... take someone to the Shen family and bring Shen Nanyan into the palace. I want to interrogate her personally. Don't make this public first."

"Yes."

Seeing that the emperor believed him, Yue Hanzhou felt as if he had been saved. He bowed and retreated quickly, and was in a hurry to leave the palace. Halfway through, the young eunuch who led him had a stomachache. Fortunately, Yue Hanzhou knew the way, so he left the palace by himself.

There was no one around in the long palace road. Yue Hanzhou looked around but didn't pay much attention. But after taking two steps, he heard a familiar voice.

"Brother Hanzhou."

Shen Lingxi's voice contained too much emotion, and when it fell into Yue Hanzhou's ears, his blood instantly boiled!

"Xi'er."

"Brother Hanzhou, I miss you so much. I've been in the palace for so long, and you never come to see me."

"Now that you have entered the palace as a noble, how can I move around with you as I please?"

"Brother Hanzhou, don't you miss me?"

The pink dress was as thin as a cicada's wing, and she was so close to him that the tip of his nose was filled with Shen Lingxi's body fragrance. In addition, Shen Lingxi could take eighteen detours in every word she said, and Yue Hanzhou's heart had been itching for a long time.

"I do. How could I not want to?"

"Brother...I...I miss Brother Hanzhou too."

Shen Lingxi immediately threw herself into Yue Hanzhou's arms.

The dry wood and ignited into a raging flame in an instant. The two hit it off immediately and seeing that there was no one around, they hurriedly walked towards an abandoned palace.

Soon, the rapid breathing sounds of two people were heard in the room. It could be heard that Shen Lingxi was very hungry. Even in such a dangerous time, she did not suppress her voice too much. Even if she did not come in, but just passed by outside, as long as she was careful, she could vaguely hear it. It can be seen that Shen Nanyan's powder is very effective.

The willow trees in the yard rustled, and a little palace maid peeked in from the door. She listened under the window for a moment, then quickly tiptoed out and disappeared at the end of the palace path.
