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

Chapter 437 Searching for Shen Hebei's trace
"Mother, I know everything, including my birth and your experience."

Mother Ren smiled sadly and turned to look at Shen Yanzhi.

"Your Majesty knows that, too."

After listening to what Ren Yuhuan said about what would happen next, and seeing how much in love Ren Yuhuan and Shen Yanzhi were, Ren's mother decided to help them.

"That's good. I can restore my identity in my lifetime. That's good."

After the news about Madam Hu was released, the ministers in the court were excited and secretly persuaded Shen Yanzhi that this was a disgrace to the late emperor's career and should not be announced.

However, Shen Yanzhi told the court about Shen Hebei's escape, which shocked the officials even more and turned their attention to Shen Hebei.

The prime minister stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Shen Hebei is a man with evil ambitions. He is now hiding in the darkness and is very dangerous. Please issue a warrant for his arrest!"

Shen Yanzhi nodded: "Okay!"

So the ministers left after discussing the matter.

Shen Yanzhi secretly sent people to follow these ministers, and soon some of his tracks were exposed.

After all, Shen Hebei has been in Kyoto for a long time, so it is normal for him to win over some ministers.

What surprised Shen Yanzhi the most yet was not surprising was the prime minister.

The prime minister was personally selected by Shen Yanzhi through the palace examination and should have been loyal to him, but his actions in the later period became more and more confusing. In fact, Shen Yanzhi had already suspected the prime minister.

Now he probably felt that this was the last juncture, and finally he revealed his true colors.

When these ministers tried to contact the contactees, they were captured by Shen Yanzhi's men and secretly imprisoned in the Sky Prison.

In the sky prison, Shen Yanzhi personally interrogated him.

The prime minister was very stubborn and didn't say a word, but the other ministers couldn't help themselves and finally pointed the finger at the prime minister.

Shen Yanzhi threatened the prime minister's family and forced him to give in.

"Your Majesty, is this still considered a wise ruler?"

Shen Yanzhi said indifferently: "Anyway, you never thought that I was a wise ruler, otherwise, how could you be loyal to Shen Hebei?"

The prime minister sneered and delayed time.

When he was arrested, the people behind the scenes should have immediately relocated his family. Why did they fall into Shen Yanzhi's hands?
"Don't think about it. I was quick to act. I arranged for someone to arrest your family before you were arrested. Shen Hebei had no chance to help you."

It was not until Shen Yanzhi took the prime minister to meet his family members who were also imprisoned in the Tianlao that he finally softened.

"I will not embarrass your family. I have locked them up here to protect their lives."

The prime minister revealed the place where he usually contacted Shen Hebei, which was the village on the back of the mountain where they lived before.

Unexpectedly, Shen Hebei not only did not leave, but was lurking so close!

Shen Yanzhi immediately sent people to capture him.

However, the prime minister had been captured, and with such a big commotion, Shen Hebei would have escaped long ago.

Ren Yuhuan was also dealing with Qinglian in Yikun Palace.

Qinglian couldn't kill the Queen Mother now, so he thought about dealing with Ren Yuhuan.

After all, Ren Yuhuan is the only woman Shen Hebei admits to loving.

So when Ren Yuhuan came, Qinglian had already hidden the golden hairpin on her head in her sleeve.

Ren Yuhuan was not stupid and noticed it immediately.

"You want to kill me?"

"Is it because Shen Hebei specifically told you that the person he has always loved is me?"

Qinglian didn't say anything, but stared at Ren Yuhuan with jealous anger in her eyes.

"But if you kill me now, Shen Hebei will definitely kill you too. Do you know why?"

Qinglian sneered: "Because of your identity?"

Ren Yuhuan laughed: "That's right!" "Because my people are the behind-the-scenes force that supports Shen Hebei's rebellion."

"Don't look at me like that. I just found out about this, too."

Ren Yuhuan didn't seem to be worried at all that Qinglian was going to kill her. She sat down calmly and started eating some pastries.

"I've been feeling hungry lately."

"Haha, then I should kill you even more!"

Qinglian came over and sat opposite Ren Yuhuan and said.

"Your people will naturally listen to you, and if you don't want them to rebel, then they will turn against Shen Hebei, isn't that right?"

Ren Yuhuan smiled and nodded: "So, I think Shen Hebei may have been controlled now."

"So I want you to give orders not to hurt him!"

Qinglian put the golden hairpin in her hand against Ren Yuhuan's neck and said viciously.

"That's not necessary. My people can't enter the palace, so they can't get close to me."

Qinglian knew that the order in Yikun Palace was strict and it was difficult for outsiders to get in.

"Are you still in the mood for cakes?"

Ren Yuhuan sighed and said, "Didn't I tell you? My appetite has suddenly improved recently."

Qinglian had also been a mother before, so she immediately let go of the golden hairpin.

"Are you pregnant?"

Ren Yuhuan smiled and stroked her belly: "Yes, I haven't told His Majesty yet. I don't want him to be distracted at this time."

Qinglian looked at the happy expression on Ren Yuhuan's face and threw the hairpin on the table.

"In fact, Shen Hebei asked you to enter the palace just to let you kill the Queen Mother or me. Anyway, if one of us dies, it will be a serious injury to His Majesty."

"He never considered you from the beginning to the end, Qinglian. I really sympathize with you."

Qinglian's lips twitched violently, but she held back her tears and bit her lips until the emotions passed. Her lips had turned blood red.

"I see."

"Once the Queen Mother leaves, my family will probably be convicted and imprisoned, and I let Shen Hebei go. Haha, I have no way to survive."

"It's a good thing that you start thinking about yourself. I will protect you!"

Qinglian looked at Ren Yuhuan again: "Why have I done so much for him, but he has never looked me in the eye?"

Ren Yuhuan put his hand on Qinglian's shoulder: "This has nothing to do with you. This is just a trick of fate."

"For example, if I knew my identity before entering the palace and meeting His Majesty, I would definitely resent His Majesty and would never fall in love with him."

"You are like this. You are the one chosen by the Queen Mother, a relative of the Queen Mother. How could Shen Hebei fall in love with you?"

"Even if he loves, he will rationally choose to give up. This is the difference between him and Your Majesty, and also the difference between him and me."

"is it?"

Qinglian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and instead burst into laughter, as if she felt that she was really ridiculous, and she laughed for a long time.

"You are still young. Try to end it all, give yourself an explanation, and start over, right?"

Qinglian took a deep breath and looked at Ren Yuhuan with a tired look: "I really know where Shen Hebei went back to. But I think he doesn't trust me, so he shouldn't be in that place."

"It's okay, I'll tell His Majesty, and it'll be your credit!"

Qinglian nodded, and after seeing Ren Yuhuan leave, she sat silently at the table, staring at the golden hairpin on the table.

She reached out and touched the golden hairpin, turned her head to look at the paper and pen on the table, withdrew her hand, picked up the pen and started writing.

To explain why she loved Shen Hebei so madly, we have to talk about her childhood.
