After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 379 Concubine Qi vying for favor
Shen Yanzhi probably felt guilty and wanted to let Concubine Xian out of the palace.

And Ren Yuhuan also wanted Concubine Xian to visit, so that she could know why the Queen Mother wanted to attack Concubine Xian.

However, Concubine Xian smiled and ignored her: "I am used to living in Nanhua Palace every day. When I go out and be seen by others, I feel uncomfortable."

After she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes as if she was tired.

The aunt next to the Queen Mother immediately came forward to report: "Concubine Xian is tired. Can you let me help her lie down?"

After saying that, her aunt came forward, took over from Ren Yuhuan, and placed Concubine Xian down.

A visit means that's it.

However, Ren Yuhuan did not leave in a hurry. She smiled at Shen Yanzhi and said, "The Concubine Xian will send toys to the little prince every few days. He has been ill these past few days and the little prince has no new toys to play with."

Seeing that Concubine Xian was lying motionless, Shen Yanzhi said to Ren Yuhuan, "Go find a few of them and let's go."

When Ren Yuhuan heard this, he immediately got up and went to look for it. He just browsed the cabinets where the toys were kept, and the maids serving around him followed behind.

It sounds nice to be helping to get it, but in fact it is not surveillance.

I was afraid that Ren Yuhuan would leave something behind or discover something.

Ren Yuhuan had good intentions and left with Shen Yanzhi after some testing.

Shen Yanzhi sighed and said, "I originally wanted to send her out with good intentions, why doesn't she leave?"

Ren Yuhuan saw that Shen Yanzhi cared so much for Concubine Xian, and it was true that he was affectionate at first, but he became more and more indifferent to Chu Shu.

He felt something in his heart and said nothing.

Shen Yanzhi turned to look at Ren Yuhuan's expression, stretched out his hand to hold her hand and said, "Are you worried about Concubine Xian?"

Ren Yuhuan had no choice but to smile and nod: "I just signaled her to agree, but she ignored me at first. I thought maybe she knew she couldn't leave."

Shen Yanzhi was agitated. As an emperor, he still wanted to see what the Queen Mother wanted, and the emotions he had been suppressing surged up again.

Suddenly he said: "There is a problem with the salt industry in the Jiangnan area."

Ren Yuhuan already knew about this, but he didn't understand the details, so he listened carefully immediately.

"A small official in charge of the salt industry in the south of the Yangtze River risked his life to remonstrate. He was hunted down several times along the way. Finally, he asked his classmate and friend to file a complaint on his behalf. After receiving the post, I ordered people to take good care of the scholar. "

"In the end, those people killed people right under their noses!"

"I'm very angry!"

"If I fail to protect this person, how will anyone who wants to tell the truth dare to speak again in the future?"

Ren Yuhuan heard this and immediately said with relief: "Your Majesty, you are in the light, the enemy is in the dark, and there is nothing you can do if you are plotted against."

"But what did that man say that was so serious that it actually led to death?"

"Expose someone who is doing illegal salt business."

"This is a multi-million dollar business, no wonder those people are willing to kill people."

Shen Yanzhi sighed and said: "When Jia Bin was in Jiangnan, everything was fine. Ever since I called Jia Bin back to the capital, the private salt business there has started."

"That means it only started in the past two years."

Ren Yuhuan thought that maybe there were always people who wanted to report, but their mouths were covered. He didn't know why this person was so determined and succeeded.

We need to investigate the background of this whistleblower first.

Ren Yuhuan thought of this and immediately asked: "I don't know who this warrior is and how he can break through the obstacles and reach the capital."

Shen Yanzhi has already investigated this person.

The sedan arrived at Yikun Palace, and Shen Yanzhi held Ren Yuhuan's waist and entered the palace together.

Just as he was about to say something, he found Concubine Qi sitting inside as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, sister, you are finally back, ah, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Qi immediately saluted and pretended to be generous. Ren Yuhuan knew that she was here to ambush Shen Yanzhi, so he smiled and said: "Why did my sister come suddenly? I have kept my sister waiting for a long time, right?"

Concubine Qi immediately smiled and said: "I just waited for a while. I was bored in the palace every day and came to talk to my sister."

As he spoke, his eyes did not look at Ren Yuhuan at all, but stared at Shen Yanzhi with a bright light.

Shen Yanzhi had not finished speaking and did not want to follow Concubine Qi.

However, things in the Western Regions have only been settled, and Concubine Qi's father still needs to guard the borders of the Western Regions, so he cannot be too ruthless.

"I'm going to Chanyue Palace tonight, you should go back first."

Concubine Qi heard this and did not leave. She said with a smile: "Why did your Majesty let me go? The three of us sat and talked together and had a good time."

Hairpin Hua and Zijuan brought tea, and Concubine Qi immediately ordered the maids beside her: "We are not guests, don't just stand around, go and help!"

Ren Yuhuan didn't stop her and sat down to watch her performance.

If Shen Yanzhi doesn't follow her today, she won't leave. Ren Yuhuan wants to see how long Concubine Qi can keep sitting.

Ren Yuhuan asked Shen Yanzhi to sit on the soft couch where he usually sat, and then he also sat down next to Shen Yanzhi.

Ren Yuhuan leaned on Shen Yanzhi, and Shen Yanzhi easily put his arms around Ren Yuhuan's waist.

When Concubine Qi saw this, although she was smiling, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Sister, try my new lotus seed soup."

Concubine Qi picked it up and drank it, admiring it endlessly.

After just one stick of incense, I started to hold my stomach and cry out in pain.

This is obviously an act!
"Call the doctor quickly!"

Concubine Qi immediately held on and said, "I'm fine, I just ate raw and cold food. I have a stomachache. It will be fine in a while. There is no need to call the imperial doctor!"

She leaned on the back of the chair and moved left and right. She just couldn't sit still and it made people's eyes uncomfortable.

Ren Yuhuan had no choice but to take the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, please send your sister back to rest quickly."

Shen Yanzhi knew that she couldn't sit down, so she had to send Concubine Qi back to the palace.

Zijuan shrugged her nose at Concubine Qi's sedan chair and was very dissatisfied.

Ren Yuhuan asked her to pay attention to her words and deeds.

Zijuan was unconvinced and said, "My dear, this is too much! You are simply riding on our heads!"

Hairpin Hua persuaded: "Don't you know, don't you know? Don't go out of your way to make me angry."

Zicuckoo had never been told this by Hairpin Hua, and she suddenly became angry.

"I'm just worried about your empress. If I'm like this now, I don't know what will happen in the future? How can you say that I'm a fan of fire?"

Ren Yuhuan was not in a good mood and scolded Zicuckoo: "Okay, I know you are worried about me, but saying it will only add to my worries, so don't say it."

Zicuckoo felt a little aggrieved, bit her lip and nodded.

"You all go down!"

Zicuckoo didn't even wait for the hairpin and ran out quickly by herself.

Ren Yuhuan felt a little regretful when she saw it, but Zijuan could never grow up, which made her very distressed.

At this moment, she was not in the mood to persuade Zicuckoo, so she sat alone and thought about everything.

Zijuan ran back to the house and hid under the quilt unable to cry.

Hairpin Hua persuaded her from outside: "You think, you are so angry, let alone your empress's mood at that time."

"No one dares to mention it, but you want to say it out. Aren't you forcing the empress to understand that there is nothing you can do about Concubine Qi's rude behavior?"

"Your Majesty is already discouraged. You should be considerate. If you are hiding inside and crying now, wouldn't you be angry with your Majesty?"
