At this moment, the noble Su Jia Min and Ling Wanshu, who had just entered the palace, arrived together. When they saw the imperial concubine and Shen You Huang face to face, the atmosphere between them became tense. The two women looked each other in the eye and quickly curtsied in respect.

Shen Youhuang looked at the two new concubines and smiled darkly at the imperial concubine.

"This prince just thinks that you should be more filial. Besides, it's really tiring for Imperial Concubine to help the empress dowager with the Six Palaces." Now that royal father has favored the newlyweds, this is when they are completely loyal to royal father and help the imperial concubine share her worries.

The imperial concubine was startled and finally understood what Shen You Huang meant.

To seize the heavens and command the dukes.

Now that Shen Youhuang had become Prince Cheng, his status was the highest amongst the royal family, with the exception of the emperor.

Now that the Emperor had fallen ill and Shen Lingjue had been killed by an assassin from the Southern Wilderness, the overseer of the Kingdom of Xuan, Shen Yu Su, was just a 14 to 15 year old child.

As long as he controlled the Emperor, he would be able to cover the sky with one hand, be it the imperial court or the imperial harem!

The imperial concubine Shangguan Yu had been in the palace for six years, and after a few ups and downs, she had finally obtained the authority of the six palaces.

She had learned one thing from her fight with the empress and imperial concubines, and that was to 'endure'.

No matter how angry and depressed she was right now, she couldn't afford to lose decorum with Shen Youhuang in front of everyone. She had to grasp the power in her hands tightly and even make herself stronger in order to contend against this fellow.

With a quick thought, a trace of a gentle and humble smile appeared on the Imperial Concubine's face.

She calmly walked in front of Venerable Su and Li Wan's concubines, sincerely and sincerely holding their hands as she said:

"Prince Cheng is right. If I want to help the empress dowager with her harem matters, I'll have to treat them the same way. Then, I'll have to trouble my two younger sisters to take good care of the emperor on my behalf. When the emperor recovers, the empress dowager and I will reward you. "

Noble Su and Li Wan's concubine quickly accepted the order. "Chenqie will do her best and not disappoint the empress dowager and Imperial Concubine's wishes."

When Shen Youhuang saw this, she couldn't help but laugh coldly.

The two women raised their heads and looked at Shen Youhuang at the same time, their gazes filled with submission and secret delight.

Shen Youhuang felt her mood lighten as she turned to walk towards the imperial concubine.

"Imperial Concubine, I'm afraid you need to prepare to mourn for King Yu and Princess Yu as soon as possible. You don't need to be so ill."

The imperial concubine recalled that Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan had met with calamity, and became even more furious. She coldly looked at him, then bowed slightly towards the bed and said, "Your majesty, chenqie will take her leave now." With that, he turned and left.

Shen Youhuang watched her back as she left and shook her head complacently. In the blink of an eye, she saw Shen Yu Su hurrying over to the Pill Formulae.

Shen Yu Su saw the imperial concubine and bowed, "Yusu pays his respects to the imperial concubine."

The imperial concubine hesitated for a moment before calling Shen Yu Su.

"There's no need for Duke Xuan to be so courteous," she said as she saw Shen You Huang walk out of the corner of her eye. "If you're here to visit the emperor, then I'm afraid you don't need to go in now."

"Why?" Shen Yu Su asked in surprise.

"Because royal father's body is still unwell and is still resting, no one is allowed to disturb him." Shen You Huang smiled faintly as she walked up to Shen Yu Su, proudly clasping her hands behind her back.

Shen Yu Su had heard of the grievous news of Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan, and then the eunuch came to report that the Emperor was so sad that he vomited blood and fainted. He then put down the imperial report in his hand and rushed over.

There were too many questions and anger in his heart. He stared at Shen Youhuang in disbelief.

When Shen You Huang saw his expression, killing intent flashed through her eyes. She smiled coldly and looked Shen Yu Su in the eye, "Royal brother, what are you dissatisfied about?"

Shen Yu Su gritted her teeth and stubbornly took a step forward.

"King Xuan," the imperial concubine suddenly tugged on Shen Yu Su's sleeve, "The matters of the previous dynasty shouldn't bother the Emperor right now. Let's leave the Palace first."

There was caution in her words, making Shen Yu Su understand that the current Shen You Huang was no longer the same person.

There was no point in squabbling any longer. There was no way to stop Shen Youhuang's rising ambitions, and she still had to consider things from a long-term perspective.

Shen Yu Su looked at the Imperial Consort and released her fist.

But when Shen Youhuang heard the imperial concubine's words, she said, "Imperial Concubine's words are wrong. When Imperial Father has no one by his side, Sixth Brother has to take care of matters in the previous dynasty. Now that this king has returned to the palace and is often by my father's side due to illness, I can naturally also help royal father review the imperial records. "Since Sixth Brother is young and inexperienced, we will send him to the Palace for important national affairs in the future."

Shen Yu Su was shocked, these words were clearly meant to take over his authority, saying that he was helping the Emperor to read them, and that he wanted to read the reports himself.

The ambition of a wolf was obvious!

The Imperial Concubine and Shen Yu Su walked out of the palace under the watch of the Imperial Guard.

Shen Yu Su's heart was heavy. She thought about how Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan's lives were uncertain, and how Shen You Huang's imprisonment of the Emperor was the same as house arrest. He was anxious, but he didn't know what to do.

The imperial concubine dismissed the palace maid and walked along the palace path alongside Shen Yu Su.

"King Xuan is frowning. Are you sad for the death of King Yu and his wife?"

"Imperial Concubine …" Shen Yu Su's eyes reddened when she heard that, "Yu Su doesn't believe it! Brother Yuhuang and Aunt Wang were not so easily defeated! "I know how good their martial arts are. We've already arranged for them to spar with each other. Brother Yuwang never goes back on his word!"

The Imperial Consort could not believe this either, but she could see the situation clearly.

"Since Shen Youhuang dared to isolate the Palace, it means that he has at least controlled a portion of the Imperial Guards. Adding to his many years of scheming by Shen Di's side, he has a deep foundation in the previous dynasty as well. We can't go head to head with him. We have to fight back step by step. "

Shen Yu Su replied seriously: "Yu Su will secretly investigate the whereabouts of Brother Yu Wang and his wife."

The imperial concubine heaved a sigh of relief as she looked in the direction of the Imperial Guard Army's camp and said softly, "Then, I will find a way to resolve this crisis in the palace …"

Following the Imperial Concubine's gaze, Shen Yu Su also saw the flag on the observation deck of the Imperial Guard Camp.

Her brother, Shangguan Jun, was now the deputy commander of the Grade Four Martial Army.

Although Shen Yu Su felt that Shangguan Jun's trusted aides might not be enough to contend against Shen You Huang, she knew that this young lady had a plan in mind as she watched her Imperial Concubine's dark gaze.

The night was chilly, and the imperial capital welcomed a snowstorm.

The next morning, Shen Yu Su went to the Ancestral Temple with the empress dowager, Imperial Concubine Shu and his mother Xuan Yu to pray for the king's recovery and for the safe return of Yuwang and Princess Wangfei.

Shen Youhuang only smiled mockingly when she heard this news.

The two of them were severely injured, and they even fell from a waterfall that was dozens of feet high. Even if they weren't buried in a fish's belly, they would still have a 90% chance of survival.

Furthermore, he had long ordered his men to set up sentries and checkpoints along the way. Even if Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan could survive, they would definitely be stopped on the way back.

He'd sat down on the throne.

Shen Youhuang couldn't help but laugh heartily when she saw the unconscious emperor. She laughed to the point that even the palace maidservants within the palace trembled when they heard her words.

Within the capital, the news of Shen Ling Jue and Feng Ning Yan's deaths had already spread through the streets and alleys.
