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

Chapter 380 Two Forces
Zijuan took off the quilt and said angrily: "Who is crying?"

It was clear that there were tears on her face. Hairpin Hua smiled and patted her without revealing anything, and said: "Okay, we have to find a way to share the worries with the Queen."

Zicuckoo stood up stubbornly and felt a little moved when she saw Hairpin Hua go over and bring a towel to wipe her face.

"You are better than me in everything, more beautiful than me, smarter than me, and you understand my queen's feelings. I can't compare to you in anything."

Hairpin Hua held Zijuan's shoulders and looked into her eyes: "But you are braver and purer than me. Girls should be like you, not someone as calculating as me. If you live a happy life, these what's the function?"

It was the first time Zijuan heard Hairpin Hua speak her mind, and she couldn't help but ask: "So you don't want to be in the palace?"

Hairpin Hua smiled bitterly: "It's not up to us to choose. As long as we enter the palace, we will be palace maids for the rest of our lives."

Zijuan frowned and said, "My queen often told me that when I grow up, she will send me off to get married and send me out of the palace! You must be the same!"

Hairpin Hua smiled and did not answer, sighing in her heart at Zicuckoo's innocence.

When Hairpin Hua and Zicuckoo returned to Ren Yuhuan, Ren Yuhuan had already figured out a clue.

Nowadays, there seem to be two forces ready to move.

An unknown force seems to have some connection with Shen Hebei, and one is the force of the Queen Mother.

Shen Yanzhi ascended the throne at the age of ten. At the age of fifteen, the Queen Mother no longer listened behind the curtain and returned power to Shen Yanzhi. She did not even care about the affairs of the harem. She studied Buddhist scriptures and often went out of the palace to worship outside the palace.

Now that the Queen Mother suddenly came out to take charge of the harem, things have fluctuated too much in the past few days. What is the sequence of events?
Ren Yuhuan felt that the Queen Mother should have come out after noticing something.

What the Queen Mother has to do is to stabilize Shen Yanzhi's throne. Shen Yanzhi also understands this in his heart, so he always accommodates the Queen Mother.

Now, the Jiangnan salt scandal has come out, and it is obviously aimed at the Queen Mother.

It should be another force that wants Shen Yanzhi to trip up the Queen Mother personally and then deal with Shen Yanzhi.

Shen Yanzhi may not have feelings for Shen Hebei, he just does it to see, in order to draw out the forces behind it.

This also explains why Qinglian came to report to the Queen Mother.

The situation in the Western Region has always been closely related to Shen Hebei.

At first, the Liu family's forces were also in the Western Regions. This time the matter in the Western Regions was resolved, and they vented their dissatisfaction and hunted down Chu Shu.

Or there was something more important that he wanted to stop Chu Shu from telling Shen Yanzhi.

All in all, the secret force is so powerful that even the Queen Mother may not know the inside story.

After knowing that the Queen Mother and Shen Yanzhi were on the same side, Ren Yuhuan changed his view on the situation in the palace.

What Shen Yanzhi didn't finish today was probably about the suspicion of the whistleblower.

Shen Yanzhi, who almost no longer discussed government affairs with Ren Yuhuan, suddenly spoke today, probably hinting to Ren Yuhuan that the Queen Mother was not an enemy.

Zijuan saw Ren Yuhuan in a daze, with a serious look on her face. Noticing that she was still angry, she stepped forward and knelt down to apologize.

Ren Yuhuan turned around and immediately helped Zijuan up, smiling and saying, "I'm not blaming you, I just suddenly understood His Majesty's intention."

Hairpin Hua immediately asked: "What aspect are you talking about?"

Ren Yuhuan immediately said: "Call Grandma Wang here, and I will talk together."

Grandma Wang entered the hall, followed by Ren's mother.

It seems that Ren's mother heard about what happened to Concubine Qi today and wanted to come to comfort Ren Yuhuan.

When Ren Yuhuan saw his mother coming, he had no choice but to say something.

After helping his mother sit down, Ren Yuhuan said: "Shen Hebei's rebellion is just the beginning, and the force behind it is still rampant."

"Your Majesty wants to tell me that the Queen Mother and him are in the same camp."

Grandma Wang heard this and thought about it before speaking, but Ren's mother became worried: "You mean Shen Hebei is just a puppet?" Ren Yuhuan thought for a while and said, "Maybe that's how it is in the eyes of that force."

Ren's mother looked into Ren Yuhuan's eyes, worried in her heart: "Do you want to persuade Shen Hebei?"

Ren Yuhuan smiled and shook his head: "No one who appears next to Shen Hebei at this time will survive. Even Shen Hebei and Qinglian will suffer."

"If Your Majesty hadn't been worried about this, I'm afraid he would have gone to visit Shen Hebei earlier."

After hearing this, Mother Ren lowered her head and thought for a long time, then looked up at Ren Yuhuan: "This is all their royal family's business. Besides, there is someone as powerful as the Queen Mother here. You don't need to think about this, right?"

Ren Yuhuan knew that his mother was worried, so he sighed and said, "I have to think about my child, mother."

Ren's mother also fell silent. The fact was that if Shen Yanzhi fell, the little prince would definitely die as well.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Ren Yuhuan looked at the people in the room and said first, "Everyone is my most trusted person. Now that the situation is like this, do you have anything to say?"

Grandma Wang was silent, her eyelids lowered and she didn't answer.

Ren Yuhuan happened to want Grandma Wang to speak.

But since she didn't say anything, Ren Yuhuan couldn't force it.

"Although the Queen Mother is one party, there are many suspicious behaviors in the Queen Mother's behavior. She even attacked the Concubine Xian and seems to be suppressing His Majesty."

Grandma Wang said softly: "Does the empress still want to investigate the Queen Mother first?"

Ren Yuhuan shook his head.

Although the power of the Queen Mother has not proven to be harmless to them, it is not the first priority to deal with now.

It can even be said that she has to help the Queen Mother.

"Queen Mother, all we have to do is wait and see her reaction. We won't carry out the investigation anymore. Doctor Xie will keep an eye on her. Now everyone will focus on the court, not the harem."

Ren's mother became confused when she heard this: "How can we know what happened in the court?"

However, Grandma Wang said: "The empress means that we have no backers, so we can use this as a reason to approach those ministers. Those who are interested will naturally take the bait."

"After all, that force is so huge, it's impossible for there to be no one in the court."

Ren's mother gasped: "But those who do politics in the harem and make friends with courtiers will be relegated to the sidelines!"

This is a double-edged sword, which is equivalent to giving the other party a handle.

If the Queen Mother knew about it, she would never let it go.

"Too risky!"

Ren's mother firmly opposed it.

However, Ren Yuhuan said to Ren's mother very seriously: "Mom, I have a sense of discretion in this matter and will not let myself fall into crisis."

"And don't worry, I think His Majesty is somewhat aware of the things I've done."

After all, Ren's mother was worried. She thought a lot all night long and got up and looked out the window.

Suddenly I felt a black shadow flicker on the tree, as if a big bird jumped away.

However, Yikun Palace is located on the corridor and is surrounded by palace walls. It is the palace in the middle of the palace city. There are no dense trees on the left and right. Where can I find such a big bird?
It's people!

Someone has been hiding in the dark!

Ren's mother panicked and immediately closed the window.
