Chapter 431 The Empress Dowager × Delicate Son (51)

After Yu Tan entered the imperial study, the queen was reading a book.

"The sons and ministers see the mother emperor."

"Get up," the queen put down the scroll, and beckoned Madam Fu to place a chair for Yu Tan, "Are you here to talk about the Zhou family?"

Yu Tan sat down, "Emperor Mother has good ears and eyes."

She knew that even if the empress did not leave the deep palace, she would be able to know everything that happened in the capital immediately.

The empress smiled inexplicably: "It's just that I'm not too ignorant. How could I not know about such a big event?"

"Tell the empress carefully, how did you find out that Zhou Jinzhu designed to frame you, so quickly found a way to break it?"

Yu Tan's eyes flickered slightly, knowing that the Queen Mother didn't want to hear her explain the details again, but just because she knew why she would hold on to the Zhou family.

"My son had already speculated before, so he was very careful when he met Zhou Jinzhu."

"Some guesses?" The empress repeated Yu Tan's words, "Is it because of what happened last year?"

The son of the aristocratic family has always been obedient and abides by the rules. Zhou Jinzhu suddenly did such a big thing, and the empress didn't believe that he had the courage at all.

Coupled with the fact that Father Zhou tried his best to separate the relationship, the Queen also became suspicious.So before Yu Tan returned to the palace, she asked the secret guard to investigate whether there was any quarrel between Zhou Fang and Yu Tan back then.

"Mother is wise."

The empress sighed: "The empress is sorry for you. At that time, the external war was chaotic, and the previous dynasty was also fighting endlessly."

"At that time, I wanted to get rid of the old and stubborn people who opposed the war in the previous dynasty, so I ignored the fact that the people in the household department dared to embezzle the money and food allocated to the soldiers."

Yu Tan shook his head: "Those who want to do evil things will naturally find all means to achieve their goals. The Queen Mother is busy with government affairs and has no skills at all. It is inevitable that she did not pay attention to a little mouse in the household department."

A few days ago, Yu Tan made people stare at Zhou Jinzhu, and the secret guard overheard the conversation between Zhou Fang and Zhou Jinzhu, and passed the news to Yu Tan.

It was only then that Yu Tan remembered that in the original plot, Zhou Fang once had the audacity to do something wrong to the original owner.

The war was tense, and the original owner sent letters to the court many times asking for military pay, but most of them were prevaricated.How could the original owner not be annoyed that the amount of food and grass that had been delivered with great difficulty was deducted.

Fortunately, the war was not affected, and the original owner returned to the court with the army.After returning, the original owner wanted to take care of Zhou Fang, but due to the influence of the current situation, the matter was dropped.

Zhou Fang has a guilty conscience and has been thinking about this matter, always worried about when Yu Tan will expose the matter, so today's matter happened.

Seeing that Yu Tan's eyes were calm, without the slightest hint of resentment, the empress smiled a little more.

"Zhou Fang deserves to die. You just need to deal with this matter. I won't stop you."

After receiving the Queen's order, Yu Tan left the imperial study and returned to his private prison in the East Palace.

I planned to go to see Zhou Jinzhu and his son first, but I didn't expect Chu Qing to come and report.

"Your Highness, Mr. Yan is here, waiting for you in the side hall."

Yu Tan attaches great importance to Yan Li, and the guards who have been with Yu Tan all day can't understand them very well, so they didn't ask Yan Li to wait outside, and directly invited him into the side hall.

Sure enough, Yu Tan changed his pace and walked towards the side hall.

Seeing Yu Tan entering the palace, Yan Li put away the contemplation in his eyes and got up to meet Yu Tan.

"Why don't you go home to rest?"

Yan Li shook his head, "I was worried that you would be too busy to have dinner, so I made soup in advance and brought it to you."
