Abandoned daughter reborn, legitimate son is resourceful

Chapter 215 Only Love One Person

After finishing a busy day of government affairs, Xiahou Chun'an rushed to Fengluan Palace where Shangguan Yilin lived.

I have been busy these days and have been in the imperial study, so I haven't come to see him.

"Where's Fengjun?"

Stepping into the hall, Xiahou Chun'an looked at the empty palace. Only a few palace servants were cleaning silently. A trace of doubt arose in Xiahou Chun'an's heart.

She quickly ordered others to look everywhere, but there was no trace of Shangguan Yilin.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Feng Jun has left the palace."

After receiving such a reply, Xiahou Chunan could not help but frown, thinking to himself: Could it be that because I have been busy recently and have not been able to come to visit him, which made him unhappy, so he left the palace in anger?

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she subconsciously raised her hand and stroked her forehead.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Greetings, His Majesty Feng Jun."

Xiahou Chunan looked up and saw Shangguan Yilin, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with elegant makeup, slowly walking into the hall.

"Yilin, where did you go just now?" Xiahou Chunan walked forward quickly, his eyes full of concern.

Faced with Xiahou Chunan's questioning, Shangguan Yilin felt a little guilty.

He knew very well that he was nearly forty years old, but had yet to give birth to children for Xiahou Chun'an, and he felt ashamed of this deep friendship.

Xiahou Chun'an's harem is still empty and he is the only one favored by the emperor. One can imagine the pressure he is under.

Although the years have not left many traces on Shangguan Yilin's face, his skin is still delicate. He stares at Xiahou Chunan with burning eyes, as if he has a thousand words to say.

Xiahou Chunan held his hand tightly, his concern evident in words, and then patted it gently a few times to express his comfort.

His voice was low and gentle: "I heard that the Princess's Mansion was attacked by assassins. I was very worried about Xiaoran's safety, so I rushed over to check."

Hearing this, Xiahou Chun'an was shocked and asked, "Is there an assassin?"

Xiahou Chunan quickly said: "Don't worry, he is not injured."

Xiahou Chunan frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Have you found out who did it?" Xiahou Chunan's tone was filled with a hint of anger.

Shangguan Yilin dodged his gaze and shook his head, "There are no clues yet. However, I suspect this matter may be related to the struggle in the court."

Having been married for such a long time, Shangguan Yilin was afraid that he would be exposed if he was not careful.

Xiahou Chun'an's eyes became deep, "I have also noticed something. Recently, some ministers in the court have frequently reported to the emperor, accusing the Princess's Mansion of making friends with the Prime Minister and attempting to interfere in government affairs. It seems that this assassination incident is not accidental."

Shangguan Yilin sighed slightly, "Your Majesty, the situation in the court is complicated now, and various forces are scheming against each other. We must deal with it carefully to avoid falling into the trap of others."

Xiahou Chun'an nodded, "Well, I will send someone to secretly investigate this matter. At the same time, we must also strengthen the defense of the Princess's Mansion to ensure Xiaoran's safety."

Shangguan Yilin looked at Xiahou Chun'an, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, "Your Majesty, I have another favor to ask of you."

"What's the matter? Just tell me." Xiahou Chun'an said.

"Yilin is getting older now, but has not given birth to a child for Your Majesty. I implore Your Majesty to recruit more servants to expand the royal family."

Shangguan Yilin lowered his head, his voice slightly choked.

Xiahou Chunan felt a pain in his heart when he heard this. He quickly pulled Shangguan Yilin into his arms and said softly, "Yilin, there are countless men in this world, but I only love you. As for the child, just let fate take its course. Don't hurt your body for this."

Shangguan Yilin was deeply moved and tears welled up in his eyes.

He hugged Xiahou Chunan tightly, feeling her warmth.

At this time, a eunuch hurried over and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you."

Xiahou Chun'an's eyes turned cold, he let go of Shangguan Yilin, and said in a deep voice: "Let her in."

After a while, Master Yinsheng walked into the hall and bowed to pay homage.

"My dear, what is the reason for requesting to see you at this time?" Xiahou Chun'an asked.

Shi Yinsheng said, "Your Majesty, I have learned about the assassination of the Princess's Mansion, and I have come to report it. As far as I know, the assassination was done by someone in the underworld, and has nothing to do with the court."

Xiahou Chunan frowned and said, "People from the Jianghu? How do you know?"

Shi Yinsheng said, "Your Majesty, I have ordered people to investigate and found that a mysterious force has appeared in the martial arts world recently, and they specifically target the powerful and wealthy. I believe the Princess's Mansion is also one of their targets."

Xiahou Chunan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, this matter has nothing to do with the court. However, this mysterious force must be eradicated as soon as possible to ensure the peace of the capital. Prime Minister, I will leave this matter to you."

"I obey your command." Shi Yinsheng kowtowed to express his gratitude.

Shangguan Yilin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
