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

Chapter 433: Burning Ci'en Palace

Ren Yuhuan faced Qinglian and looked at her face. As expected, he saw that Qinglian was silent, but there was no fear on her face.

"I say, you came to the palace to help Shen Hebei, right?"

This sentence made Qinglian's expression fluctuate. She raised her eyes and stared at Ren Yuhuan: "You think it's unreasonable for me to walk into a trap, right?"

Ren Yuhuan smiled and shook his head: "It's not all about this."

"Haha, are there several more reasons?"

Ren Yuhuan said slowly: "Let me guess, Shen Hebei must have known that Concubine De had taken the child out of the palace, so he said he wanted to go find the child, right?"

Qinglian's expression remained calm.

"Well, it's not about seeing, it's about killing."

"He didn't know that Concubine De had given birth to a daughter, so he told you that he was going to kill the child and Concubine De at the same time, right?"

Qinglian turned her eyes away and said calmly: "Killing your own child, do you think I let Shen Hebei kill his own child because of jealousy?"

Ren Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "I think you are not jealous, but gambling."

"You really want to know what Shen Hebei will do. You want to destroy his feelings for you."

"He has no feelings for me."

Qinglian said dryly, lowering his eyes.

"You are hoping to give up in the most tragic way. If I am not mistaken, you are doing this because you want to die with him."

Qinglian smiled faintly: "That's a good idea."

Ren Yuhuan stared at Qinglian, not missing any slight expression on her face and not missing any of her words.

“You expect him to do what he wants to do because you know it’s a dead end.”

"I am sure that you came to the palace to assassinate the Queen Mother."

Qinglian's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't say anything and didn't look at Ren Yuhuan.

"You won't do anything for now. You have to wait until the news of Shen Hebei's death comes. Then you will take action. You think this will help him realize his wish."

"Qinglian, what happened on the mountain that led you to choose this path?"

Qinglian suddenly frowned and bit her lips.

Ren Yuhuan couldn't imagine what Shen Hebei had done to cause Qinglian to react so strongly, and he seemed unable to hold back.

Ren Yuhuan suddenly said, "He hurt himself?"

Qinglian suppressed her emotions that were about to collapse and fell silent again.

Ren Yuhuan stood up and walked slowly: "Shen Hebei is no longer able to survive, and you felt that letting him out would not have any impact, so you made a plan."

"You definitely know where Shen Hebei will go, and you won't let him escape from your control."

At this point, Ren Yuhuan turned and stared at Qinglian: "Is he still under your control?"

Qinglian moved her lips and shook her head.

"I've already entered the palace, can I still control him?"

Ren Yuhuan knew that Qinglian was never a reckless person. Since she had a plan, she would definitely find a way to stop Shen Hebei.

Perhaps the people who take care of Shen Hebei are Qinglian's people, and they will control Shen Hebei at the critical moment.

Ren Yuhuan paced back and forth. Since Qinglian didn't know where Shen Hebei was and had entered the palace, it meant that that person could indeed control Shen Hebei.

Thinking about Qinglian is not important now, I need to think about Shen Hebei.

Why did Shen Hebei escape at this time when he could have escaped at any other time?

What was he waiting for?
Something happened during this period that would be beneficial to him, and he could know it clearly.

That’s why Qinglian is so important. She has to speak up on both of these issues.

Thinking of this, Ren Yuhuan sat down.

"Do you know the Queen Mother's secret?" Hearing this, Qinglian raised her head and stared at Ren Yuhuan in confusion.

Ren Yuhuan smiled and said, "Haven't you ever noticed what's in that room that only the Queen Mother can open?"

Qinglian moved her body: "You came to interrogate me tonight, are you actually planning to enter that room?"

Ren Yuhuan smiled; "How can I enter that room? I don't have the key. Besides, I have been here with you all the time!"

Qinglian narrowed her eyes and began to look at Ren Yuhuan seriously.

"You plan to deal with the Queen Mother? Haha, I have an idea!"

Ren Yuhuan smiled faintly: "You can't say that, and I won't continue to talk to you."

Seeing that she would not give in, Qinglian thought for a moment and said, "I know about the Queen Mother's room. I tried to explore it before, but the Queen Mother threatened me with the lives of my entire family and told me not to be curious."

"I'm not curious."

"Your man is opening the door?"

"That's a strange thing to say. My people are resting downstairs and are under surveillance. After all, this is the Queen Mother's bedroom. How can they walk around without permission?"

Qinglian narrowed her eyes and did not believe what Ren Yuhuan said.

Ren Yuhuan held the teacup, blew the tea leaves, and listened to the noise outside. It should be about time.

Sure enough, there was a sudden flash of orange fire outside, and a huge fire broke out in Ci'en Palace. Thick black smoke rushed into the sky, and the smell could even be smelled here.

"you!"

Ren Yuhuan stood up, walked to the door and looked outside: "The fire broke out!"

Although Ren Yuhuan acted very flustered and kept calling for help, Qinglian still didn't believe it.

"This fire is so strange!"

Ren Yuhuan walked out of the room and looked back at Qinglian: "You wait in the room."

As soon as Ren Yuhuan walked out, Qinglian followed him immediately.

The fire broke out in the locked room. Ren Yuhuan stood behind and watched people put out the fire without taking any action.

Soon the news of the fire reached the Yangxin Palace, where Shen Yanzhi and the Empress Dowager were still struggling.

After the guard reported back, the empress dowager stood up in a panic and urged everyone to return to the palace without even saying goodbye.

Shen Yanzhi immediately followed, and the carriage sped through the palace and headed towards the fire.

The sky over there turned orange-red, and the carriage rushed over there as if rushing towards the end of the world.

After getting off the carriage, Shen Yanzhi tried to stop the empress dowager, but the empress dowager shook his arm away.

The Queen Mother rushed towards the room like a madman. Even though she saw that the fire started from there, she was determined to jump into the fire.

Naturally, he was intercepted by someone.

"Let me go! How did the fire start? Someone, help me put out the fire!"

Ren Yuhuan listened to the Queen Mother's roar, turned his head to look around, and saw Nanny Wang quietly sneaking over and standing behind the crowd.

"Mother, it's dangerous, get out now!"

However, the Queen Mother refused to leave and urged people to put out the fire.

It was almost dawn when the fire went out.

The entire building where that room was located was reduced to charcoal.

The Queen Mother ignored the remaining poison from the fire and rushed forward to dig in the pile of earth.

Ren Yuhuan knew that there must be a secret passage under this room, and this secret passage was separate from the other secret passages.

However, this fire may not necessarily have an impact on the areas below.

The Queen Mother's abnormal behavior made people suspicious, which further confirmed the possibility that there was an individual behind it.

But it is really unbelievable that the Queen Mother would hide someone in the palace. Who could she be hiding?
