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

Chapter 432 Shen Hebei Escapes
Shen Yanzhi also handed the letter to Ren Yuhuan.

Ren Yuhuan read it carefully, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "The Queen Mother must be very unhappy! After all, he is her nephew."

In Ci'en Palace, the Queen Mother dropped the tea bowl in her hand.

All the servants in the hall knelt down. The atmosphere was tense. Everyone was terrified and dared not speak a word.

The Queen Mother sat there with a stern face, looking down upon the whole audience, and said faintly, "My hand slipped."

When a palace maid heard about it, she immediately came forward and presented the cold cream. The old nanny opened the porcelain bottle and applied it on the empress dowager's hands herself.

The Queen Mother remained silent the entire time, never showing any anger, yet her majesty was evident without even getting angry.

"You guys go down!"

When there was no one in the palace, the Queen Mother said to the old nanny, "The power of my relatives will finally be eliminated by your majesty. I can't protect myself this time!"

The old nanny had not read the letter, nor did she dare to persuade casually, she just said: "If the Queen Mother says so, I don't know what else to do. Perhaps His Majesty will consider the relationship between mother and son and not kill them all?"

The Queen Mother sneered when she heard the mother-son relationship: "If he doesn't kill them all, I will be disappointed!"

"Look at it!"

The old lady took the letter and read it carefully.

It turned out that he was the nephew of the Empress Dowager. He had kidnapped women in Jiangnan and relied on his wealth and power to forcibly occupy the wife of a small businessman. He also had the small businessman who came to argue with him beaten half to death.

Jia Bin created an opportunity, happened to see the man, rescued him, and sent him to the yamen to be looked after.

After all, the magistrate did not dare to show favoritism, but he did not want to offend his nephew who was carried away, so the lawsuit was delayed and no result was ever given.

The small businessman was well taken care of and recovered, and he personally informed Jia Bin of the situation.

Jia Bin naturally had to investigate it thoroughly.

As a result of this investigation, the nephew was finally brought to court.

Who knew that this nephew was so arrogant and, under the guidance of Jia Bin, he soon let the cat out of the bag.

How can a businessman dare to be so lawless?
Jia Bin shouted loudly and announced in front of the people watching the trial that he would investigate the matter thoroughly!
This nephew was sent to prison and all his family properties were thoroughly investigated.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

As expected, this nephew's family was indeed involved in the private salt trade, and the matter snowballed, one by one, and all of them were exposed.

Those who offered bribes found that previous bribes were useless, so they could only bring more things.

Who knew that this time Jia Bin was no longer that kind-hearted man. He strictly enforced the law and put all those people in jail.

The Queen Mother was right, Shen Yanzhi had no intention of letting him go.

The Queen Mother came in person.

"I have told Your Majesty that my relatives are your strength. Now that the foreign enemies have not been defeated yet, you have already lost your own arm. Your Majesty should not be so confused!"

Shen Yanzhi also said: "They are plundering the people in Jiangnan, damaging the reputation of the court, and giving foreign enemies an opportunity to win over the people. Mother, do you know how many White Lotus followers there are in Jiangnan? To what extent has it spread throughout Daliang now?"

The Queen Mother frowned when she heard this: "White Lotus Sect? Where did the White Lotus Sect come from? These unruly people are not living a good life, are they planning to rebel?"

Shen Yanzhi sighed and said, "Mother, I asked Jia Bin to go to Jiangnan to deal with the relatives of the emperor. This is not the main task. The real thing to do is to win the hearts of the people and defeat the White Lotus Sect!"

The Queen Mother listened and thought deeply: "Could this White Lotus Sect have developed from the forces left behind by Shen Hebei and his people?"

Shen Yanzhi nodded.

The Queen Mother said coldly: "When does Your Majesty plan to interrogate Shen Hebei?"

Shen Yanzhi had expected the Queen Mother to ask this question: "I plan to go in the next few days. If the Queen Mother wants to go, you can go with me."

Of course the Queen Mother wanted to go with him, and she agreed immediately.

That night, Qinglian entered the palace, reported to Shen Hebei and left.

The Queen Mother was furious and went up to slap Qinglian personally.

Qinglian covered her face, her expression still very calm. "He threatened with his own life. If I didn't let him, he would commit suicide."

"I have no idea."

Qinglian raised her head and met the Queen Mother's gaze without fear.

The Queen Mother shouted: "Keep her under surveillance first!"

Shen Yanzhi and Ren Yuhuan were just about to go to bed when an urgent report came from outside the Yangxin Palace: "The Empress Dowager has arrived!"

After Shen Yanzhi heard this, he and Ren Yuhuan immediately stood up and packed up.

The Queen Mother's eyes swept over Ren Yuhuan and said directly to Shen Yanzhi: "Your Majesty, Shen Hebei escaped."

Soon, Shen Yanzhi's men came in to report the news.

"We followed them all the way, and suddenly everyone was accidentally poisoned and passed out in the wilderness. One of our brothers fell into the water and woke up, and rushed back to report."

Ren Yuhuan's heart tightened. Not only did Shen Hebei escape, but there was someone waiting for him!
The Queen Mother immediately said, "Do your best to capture him, Your Majesty!"

Shen Yanzhi ordered the issuance of arrest warrants and strengthened city defense inspections.

Ren Yuhuan walked forward and knelt down to report: "No need, Shen Hebei will definitely not leave the capital!"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, and Shen Yanzhi also asked: "Why?"

Ren Yuhuan asked, "May I ask where Qinglian is?"

The Queen Mother listened and thought about it, so she didn't hide it: "In Aijia Palace, are you going to tell her that she knows where Shen Hebei went?"

Ren Yuhuan nodded: "Qinglian will definitely know."

The Queen Mother didn't believe it and asked someone to call Qinglian over, but Ren Yuhuan stopped her.

"She won't tell."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Whether she says it or not, she has no say!"

Ren Yuhuan immediately said, "Let me go and convince her?"

Shen Yanzhi immediately said: "Let her go and ask first."

"In order to prevent Qinglian from taking any action, it is better not to move her."

The Queen Mother then asked the old nanny to take Ren Yuhuan to Ci'en Palace to interrogate Qinglian.

Ren Yuhuan brought Zijuan, Zanhua and Nanny Wang with him.

Nanny Wang did not ask why she was being taken along. She just followed immediately after hearing that she could go.

Qinglian sat on the bed, hugging her knees, thinking about something. When she saw the door was pushed open, she immediately looked outside.

"How could it be you?"

Ren Yuhuan walked in with a smile, asked someone to close the door, and then went in.

The old nanny personally stood guard at the door and had someone take Zijuan and the other three downstairs.

Zanhua took the opportunity to create an opportunity and sent those people away.

Soon they discovered that Nanny Wang was missing.

Zijuan immediately became anxious, but was stopped by Zanhua.

"The Queen has instructed us not to look around. Just go to the room that has been locked and you will definitely find it!"

The two men created a commotion again, distracted the people, and searched for the room together.

Ren Yuhuan sat down and said, "Because I didn't want to see you suffer, I was the one who asked you to look after Shen Hebei."

Qinglian raised her eyes and stared at Ren Yuhuan.

"Then I should thank you."
