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

Chapter 421: Same Fundamental Interests
During her time with Shen Hebei, Defei also learned that the salt industry in Jiangnan was complicated and related to the power of the Empress Dowager's in-laws.

"Your Majesty, are you going to shake up the Queen Mother's foundation?"

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Concubine Shu turned indifferent: "Yes, it's time to do so."

"What do you mean?"

"The Queen Mother has ostensibly returned power to Your Majesty and devoted herself to Buddhism, but in reality she has manipulated and constantly interfered with Your Majesty's policies. This situation cannot continue."

When Concubine De heard this, she knew in her heart that Concubine Shu was right. Shen Hebei had also analyzed these powerful relationships to her in the same way.

"It's been so long, why is Your Majesty only thinking of taking action now?"

Concubine Shu smiled.

"Because Your Majesty has someone he must protect!"

De Fei's eyes flickered: "You mean to say that all this is for Ren Yuhuan?"

Concubine Shu looked forward, her lips curled up: "You will like Jiangnan. From today on, you are no longer Concubine De, and don't call me Concubine Shu anymore."

"My name is Liu Mei now, and Doctor He is now called He Nianjiang. What about you? Have you ever thought about what you will be called after you get out of this situation?"

When Concubine De heard this question, she was stunned.

It turned out that she had never thought that she could escape this disaster along the way, so she had never thought about what would happen after she escaped.

Only at this moment did she truly feel the joy of new life.

"My mother's surname is Su, so I will be called Su Luo. I hope that from now on I will take root and never drift away. My daughter will be called Su Nian'en. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will never forget it!"

"Relax, from now on, you can decide everything yourself!"

When the carriage was on the main road, another carriage came out from the side road.

He Nianjiang in the carriage waved at them.

"coming?"

The two carriages stopped, and Ren's mother got out of the sedan chair and immediately looked at Concubine De: "Are you okay? Are you not frightened?"

Defei nodded and grinned. It was the first time she had smiled in such a long time. She felt it was a little strenuous at the corners of her mouth, but she was very happy.

He Nianjiang looked at Ren's mother and said, "Aunt is calmer than me, which is admirable!"

When Ren's mother heard this, she just smiled and said, "Nothing happened. It's just that people get old and tend to accept their fate. Now that they have accepted their fate, they won't panic."

In fact, Ren's mother grew up on the border battlefield. She had watched the bloody battlefield since she was a child, walked through it to help collect weapons, and when she was older, screened corpses.

How could such a scene surprise her?
"Let's go in two carriages together and stay at an inn before dark."

Ren's mother and Concubine De sat in one carriage, and Liu Mei and her husband sat in another carriage.

Defei's daughter woke up, waved her pink little hands, and stared at the scenery outside the carriage without blinking.

Concubine De shed tears unconsciously, looked at Ren's mother and said with a smile: "This child was born underground. This is the first time he has seen the sun and the scenery outside. He is stunned!"

Mother Ren looked at Concubine De with a soothing and kind look, rubbing her arms with her hands: "It's okay, it's okay to cry, you don't have to be tense."

Defei finally couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

When the news came that they had safely left Beijing, Ren Yuhuan almost cried.

Shen Yanzhi came forward and hugged her in his arms: "Are you relieved?"

Ren Yuhuan nodded while sobbing: "Your Majesty, you are so thoughtful. I just wonder if those spies have caught him?"

"I don't intend to leave anyone alive."

Ren Yuhuan was stunned. These people were obviously sent out by the Queen Mother. As long as they were left alive, he could point fingers at the Queen Mother in the future.

"Why?"

"Because we can't alert the enemy." Ren Yuhuan nodded in understanding, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is still thoughtful."

Shen Yanzhi looked at Ren Yuhuan deeply, and all the words in his heart were condensed into one sentence: "The Queen Mother is my mother after all. She will not die. I will keep her in the deep palace and she will never be able to interfere with the outside world again."

"His Majesty······"

Shen Yanzhi put his finger on Ren Yuhuan's lips: "This will take time. We are dealing with a monster."

Ren Yuhuan was moved when he heard the word "we".

"Your Majesty, I understand your painstaking efforts. I have made mistakes before. From now on, I will definitely trust your Majesty and stand firmly on your side."

The two reached a reconciliation and lay in each other's arms.

Ren Yuhuan's face was full of lust, and she lay in Shen Yanzhi's arms and asked, "Does your majesty want me to continue fighting with Concubine Qi?"

"What do you think?"

Ren Yuhuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Your Majesty is always like this. He has to listen to what I say before he is willing to speak."

Shen Yanzhi smiled and kissed Ren Yuhuan's lips lovingly: "I just want to make a decision according to your wishes."

The two embraced each other again, inseparable.

In the morning, Ren Yuhuan helped Shen Yanzhi wash and prepare for court. Shen Yanzhi asked calmly, "You haven't answered the question from yesterday."

Ren Yuhuan smiled when she heard this, her face slightly flushed as she said, "Your Majesty has been delaying until now, so you must still want to delay further. The Queen Mother has now accepted Concubine Qi, so I can't let the power to manage the harem return to the Queen Mother's hands."

"The Queen Mother is just playing a trick. She doesn't actually intend to give up the right to manage the harem, so I can't give it up!"

Shen Yanzhi rubbed Ren Yuhuan's cheek: "Okay, tell me if you have any difficulties, and I will help you secretly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ren Yuhuan had never been so happy. The conflict between her and Shen Yanzhong was resolved, and her depression and worries disappeared.

"My queen, there is a letter from outside the palace!"

Zijuan waited until Shen Yanzhi left and handed him a letter.

Ren Yuhuan took it and looked at it. There was no signature on the envelope. He opened it and recognized the handwriting at once.

"It's a letter from Chu Shu!"

Chu Shu said that he and Xie Taichu had already arrived in the Western Regions. Xie Taichu was unwilling to go to Suiye immediately and insisted on going to the Western Regions with them, saying that he wanted to help Ren Yuhuan and suppress the general so that she could defeat Concubine Qi in the palace.

When Ren Yuhuan saw this, he couldn't help but laugh.

When Zijuan saw this, she also smiled and asked, "Your Majesty, you haven't smiled so brightly in a long time."

Zanhua also came in and asked with a smile, "Anything fun?"

Ren Yuhuan handed the letter to Zanhua: "Your Majesty will definitely have a headache again when he finds out about this Xie Taichu!"

Zanhua and Zijuan immediately leaned over to take a look, especially Zijuan, who read the letter twice and also laughed.

After this incident was over, Zanhua came up and whispered, "Madame Wang is making a move again."

Ren Yuhuan immediately became alert and asked, "What did she do?"

"In contact with people from Ci'en Palace."

"This is not okay!"

Zanhua shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Madam. Nanny Wang is an old lady in the palace. It's normal for her to bump into an old acquaintance occasionally. She hasn't done anything out of the ordinary yet."

Ren Yuhuan frowned, looking melancholy.

"Madame Wang is now a member of the Yikun Palace. If she falls into the hands of the Queen Mother, what will the Queen Mother think?"
