The Queen Mother's actions could not be so simple.

Ren Yuhuan asked people to continue paying attention.

The man went down.

Zanhua then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, even if you want to find Concubine De, there is no need to make such a big fuss, right? Searching the entire harem, such a big move, but ending it so hastily, it is really confusing!"

Ren Yuhuan nodded: "It is this ending that makes people confused. Logically speaking, the Queen Mother should catch a few examples at this moment to explain her search of the harem."

"Why doesn't the Queen Mother do the same?"

Ren Yuhuan sneered, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "The Queen Mother is trying to tell us that she can do whatever she wants, and there is no need to prepare a book for herself."

Zanhua listened and thought for a moment: "The Queen Mother is also putting pressure on His Majesty, right?"

Ren Yuhuan rubbed his cheek and said, "I think Jia Bin is going to Jiangnan."

"Then is your Majesty still preparing to receive His Majesty today?"

Ren Yuhuan shook his head: "No need, Your Majesty has no time to come today."

Shen Yanzhi listened to the empress dowager's actions in the imperial study, his brows furrowed, and he didn't speak for half a day.

Xiaowu and the other palace servants did not dare to make a sound.

"Let the prime minister enter the palace!"

The prime minister came into the palace and stood in the imperial study, but Shen Yanzhi did not say anything and just looked at the work in his hands.

The prime minister glanced at Xiaowu, but Xiaowu couldn't give any hints.

Unexpectedly, at this time Concubine Qi sent someone to bring lotus seed soup, and Shen Yanzhi raised his head.

"The Prime Minister has been working hard these days. Xiaowu, deliver the lotus seed soup to the Prime Minister."

The prime minister immediately knelt down to thank the emperor: "It is not hard for me. It is the duty of an official to share your worries. Besides, this is a kind gesture from Concubine Qi. How can I accept it?"

Shen Yanzhi laughed and said, "Don't dare to accept it? I heard that your daughter is getting married to the general's nephew today? We are all family, what are you afraid of?"

Xiaowu brought the lotus seed soup to the prime minister.

The prime minister prostrated himself on the ground and explained, "I am terrified. The marriage was entirely decided by the women in the family. The general's nephew is known as a talented man and is indeed a good son-in-law."

Shen Yanzhi said: "That is the prime minister's family affair. I don't mean anything by it. I just mentioned it casually to congratulate the prime minister."

The prime minister didn't dare to believe it. He looked up at the lotus seed soup in front of him and could only reach out to take it. He took a sip and had no idea how it tasted.

"I heard that you rejected many people before choosing this person. This shows that this person is indeed extraordinary. I have always valued talents and would like to meet him."

"He is young and reckless, and his words and actions are arrogant. I have sent him to the farm to gain experience. Only when he passes the imperial examination can he stand before Your Majesty with a legitimate reason."

When Shen Yanzhi heard this, he said, "Prime Minister, drink it. Is the lotus seed soup not tasty?"

"I drank it. It tasted good."

After the prime minister finished drinking the lotus seed soup, Shen Yanzhi said, "I came here today to tell the prime minister a word of congratulations. Come on, give me a gift!"

Two palace maids brought up a roll of Persian carpet.

"Come here, how can the Prime Minister carry such a heavy thing back? Please help the Prime Minister!"

Two guards came out and took the carpet.

The prime minister was already sweating profusely just by looking at the Persian carpet, and he expressed his gratitude with great fear and trepidation.

After seeing off the prime minister, Shen Yanzhi stood up and walked towards the inner hall.

Jia Bin was already waiting inside.

"Why scare him?"

Jia Bin looked at Shen Yanzhi and said with a smile.

Shen Yanzhi snorted coldly: "Otherwise, the memorial recommending Concubine Qi to be the queen will be sent again, which is annoying."

Jia Bin laughed it off. He knew Shen Yanzhi was doing this for Ren Yuhuan. Although he didn't say it, he could tell. "I'm leaving tomorrow. How are you going to deal with the Queen Mother?"

Shen Yanzhi frowned: "The Defei is about to give birth, I can't arrange any staff here, you can take her out of the palace by the way."

Jia Bin listened, thought for a moment and said, "As long as we send her outside the palace, I will be able to take care of her, but how do we arrange for her to leave the palace?"

Shen Yanzhi said: "I will naturally make arrangements, you can pick them up tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Jia Bin immediately said, "The Queen Mother has already searched the palace. Do you really think you can take Concubine De away tomorrow?"

Shen Yanzhi smiled slightly: "Of course!"

Jia Bin nodded his head and said, "Okay, since you said so, I'll go back and make arrangements first."

"Take her to Jiangnan."

Jia Bin's eyes widened: "It's very dangerous for me to go this way, you want me to take her with me?"

Shen Yanzhi nodded: "Someone will pick you up on the way."

Jia Bin said helplessly: "Could it be Lipin and Doctor He?"

Shen Yanzhi laughed and said, "How come I can't hide anything from you?"

Jia Bin sighed and said, "Ren Yuhuan let them out. Weren't you always watching behind the scenes to make sure they succeeded?"

"I advise you to talk to Ren Yuhuan about these things. I guarantee that she will have fewer misunderstandings about you."

"Not at this time, these misunderstandings can protect her."

Jia Bin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, whatever you say is true. I really have to go back and prepare. It's going to be a headache for me to take care of a pregnant woman along the way!"

"Doctor He should already be outside the capital, don't worry."

"Oh, that's fine."

After seeing Jia Bin off, Shen Yanzhi still came to Yiku Palace.

Ren Yuhuan thought Shen Yanzhi would not come, so she took off her makeup and hair early and started reading a book.

When he heard that Shen Yanzhi was coming, he immediately stood up to greet him, but Shen Yanzhi had already come in.

"You thought I wouldn't come today?"

Ren Yuhuan smiled and said, "I was a little sleepy today, so I decided to rest early. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Shen Yanzhi heard that she had read a lot of the book in her hand, so she didn't mean to take a rest, it was just an excuse.

"I was thinking about your massage."

Ren Yuhuan immediately put down the book, and Shen Yanzhi rested his head on her knees and closed his eyes.

"Did the Queen Mother's palace search today scare you?"

"Your Majesty loves me, so I was not frightened. After all, there are no witchcraft items in the Yikun Palace."

Shen Yanzhi said in a humour: "The Queen Mother is demonstrating to me. I have already approved the investigation of the Jiangnan incident. Jia Bin will go there in person and will definitely get to the bottom of it."

Ren Yuhuan blinked when she heard this, not understanding why Shen Yanzhi told her these words.

"This is difficult for Your Majesty. After all, he is a member of the Queen Mother's clan."

Shen Yanzhi laughed: "Yes, the Queen Mother wants to protect her people, and she has almost forgotten that I am her son!"

Ren Yuhuan's hands trembled, and he immediately said, "The Queen Mother has always been kind to Your Majesty, she would never be like this."

Shen Yanzhi sneered: "Just wait and see, the Queen Mother will definitely take action. I came here today to tell you that I will protect you and will never let you get hurt."

When Ren Yuhuan heard this, he immediately expressed his gratitude tenderly, but he felt very embarrassed in his heart.

To deal with her, all you have to do is take possession of the little prince. As for the other options, it is nothing more than making her the queen.

No wonder Concubine Qi and the Queen Mother jointly hosted the Chrysanthemum Banquet. (End of this chapter)
