Chapter 894 Power is even more fascinating
Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were full of warmth, and his tone was very firm: "I know Nian Nian always puts me first, but don't worry, I will never do anything that I will regret."
Shen Zhinian said softly: "I am not good at speaking and can't say nice things. I just want to tell your majesty that no matter what happens, Nian Nian will always be by your side."
Nangong Xuanyu lost his mother when he was young and suffered from cold eyes before being adopted by Empress Dowager Liu. Even though he is already an emperor who rules the world, deep in his heart, he still lacks a sense of security...
However, on normal days, Nangong Xuanyu never showed this vulnerability and disguised himself with the majesty of an emperor.
But doesn't he also long for someone who will never betray him or leave him?
And over the years, only Shen Zhinian has truly entered his heart.
Nangong Xuanyu didn't say anything, but just hugged the woman in his arms a little tighter.
But from his expression, it can be seen that he is enjoying this moment very much.
In my heart, I am also extremely... attached to Shen Zhinian.
After that, neither of them talked about it anymore, enjoying the beauty of the moment.
Shen Zhinian's eyes fell on the imperial desk, and then he slowly looked at the memorials placed on it.
This is where the emperor handles military and political affairs, symbolizing supreme power!
And she was held by Nangong Xuanyu and sat on the dragon throne!
Does it mean...she indirectly sat on the throne?
At this moment, Shen Zhinian's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he felt his heart surging!
Nangong Xuanyu's tenderness towards her certainly warmed her heart, but power... was more fascinating!
It’s a pity… Even though she is sitting in this position that symbolizes supremacy, it is only indirect…
Noticing Shen Zhinian's distraction, Nangong Xuanyu gently pinched the soft flesh on her waist and asked in a gentle voice, "You are so absent-minded, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Zhinian knew clearly that even if Nangong Xuanyu needed someone who could walk side by side with him, he would not allow the other party to have excessive ambitions.
She concealed her thoughts very well and smiled sweetly at Nangong Xuanyu: "Tomorrow is the eldest princess' fifth birthday."
"Your Majesty has instructed us a long time ago to hold a grand birthday ceremony to let everyone know that the eldest princess is the apple of your eye, the apple of your eye!"
"I have been keeping an eye on the Ministry of Internal Affairs and preparing for this matter. However... when the time came, Concubine Xue and Concubine Zhuang took care of the affairs of the harem for a few days."
"I was thinking that when I return, I will ask the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go to Zhongcui Palace and ask if there is anything missing from the eldest princess' birthday banquet."
The emperor's eyes were filled with emotion: "Nian Nian, it's hard for you. You have suffered so much injustice, but you still want to do what I asked you to do."
Shen Zhinian smiled gently: "Your Majesty trusts me, so he has entrusted all matters of the six palaces to me. Of course, I cannot let Your Majesty down."
"Besides... although Lady Liu brought this upon herself, the child is innocent. The eldest princess lost her mother at such a young age, which is really pitiful."
When talking about Liu Shiqing, Nangong Xuanyu's eyes became complicated for a moment, but soon turned cold.
"She has done so many evil things that it is hard to list them all!"
"If she succeeded, Ah Xu and the Sixth Prince would have lost their mothers while still in their infancy. When she did those things, did she not think about the innocence of the children?"
"She is not worthy of being Yun'er's mother. Yun'er is just my eldest princess!"
Shen Zhinian did not follow Nangong Xuanyu to verbally attack Liu Shiqing, but just said, "Yes."
"Your Majesty, it is getting late. I will take my leave now and will not disturb you from handling government affairs."
Nangong Xuanyu put her down and said softly, "When I'm done with my work, I'll go to Zhongcui Palace to see you and Ah Xu."
"I haven't seen you for a few days. I wonder if that brat has forgotten me."
When talking about the Fourth Prince, the emperor's eyes and brows were soft.
Shen Zhinian lowered his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, Ah Xu will be one year old next month, and he has long called me 'Father'. How could he forget you after not seeing you for a few days?"
"You think our Fourth Prince is too foolish."
Although Nangong Xuanyu's tone was full of disdain, the smile in his eyes became even stronger: "That brat still has some conscience."
"I will be waiting for you in Zhongcui Palace."
Shen Zhinian took a deep look at the dragon chair under Nangong Xuanyu, then bowed to him and said, "I'll take my leave!"
After she walked out of the Yangxin Palace completely, the warm and gentle smile on Nangong Xuanyu's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a frightening chill!
"Li Changde!"
Li Changde's heart trembled, and he quickly bent down and said, "The servant is here!"
"Chuan Heyuan's judge!"
Combining what His Majesty had just said to Concubine Chen, Li Changde already understood something.
He did not dare to delay and said quickly: "I will go right away!"
The Imperial Medical Bureau was not very close to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, but upon hearing the emperor's summons, He Yuanpan still rushed over quickly.
He was old, and his voice was a little breathless when he saluted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live your Majesty!"
Nangong Xuanyu said calmly: "Stand up!"
Unless there is a special decree, Heyuanpan is only responsible for taking care of the emperor's health on weekdays.
At this moment, his eyes and eyebrows were full of worry, and he asked with concern: "Your Majesty, is there anything wrong with your body?"
It was already dark. Nangong Xuanyu leaned back in his chair. His face, like that of a banished immortal, looked dim and unclear under the candlelight.
As the emperor waved his hand, all the palace servants except Li Changde lowered their heads and retreated quietly.
Nangong Xuanyu then looked at He Yuanpan and said slowly: "I am fine. I summoned you here today to ask another question."
Seeing this, and feeling the faint sense of oppression from the emperor, He Yuanpan suddenly became nervous: "I wonder what your majesty wants to ask me?"
Nangong Xuanyu's tone was murky and unclear: "The Queen Mother has been paralyzed in bed since mid-November last year, and it has been more than half a year now."
"She is very old and has been bedridden for a long time. I wonder if this will affect her health or even... her life span?"
It turns out that Your Majesty wanted to ask about this matter.
He Yuanpan breathed a sigh of relief and said truthfully, "Your Majesty, although I am not the imperial physician who takes care of the Empress Dowager's health, I am also concerned about her health."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The Queen Mother is in good health. Although she is paralyzed in bed, no one dares to neglect the servants in the Cining Palace."
"As long as she is well taken care of, the Queen Mother will not suffer any harm to her body, nor will it shorten her lifespan."
Nangong Xuanyu's eyes were slightly cold, and his tone was meaningful: "Really?"
"I have heard that many elderly people who are paralyzed in bed are very likely to die of illness."
