When Ren Qianyu heard about it, she could only smile and said: "I always sleep well and don't know about this."

"All the servants in Yikun Palace are deaf or mute. Why don't they even report such a big thing to the superiors?"

The old mama and her slaves all knelt down.

All I could hear was the old nanny saying: "After Ren Yuhuan screamed, we didn't dare to disturb the imperial concubine, for fear of scaring the imperial concubine, so we investigated and searched on our own, but found no clues. We all thought that Ren Yuhuan had mistaken the wild cat for a human."

Ren Qianyu immediately agreed upon hearing this and said, "This is quite possible! Your Majesty, please sit down and I'll make you tea and pick the pine nuts?"

Shen Yanzhi didn't ask any more questions, and Ren Yuhuan followed the old ladies and retreated.

Back in the room, Ren Yuhuan lay down on the bed, repeatedly thinking about Shen Yanzhi's previous order in his mind.

The reason for reorganizing the Forbidden Army is probably not just to establish the authority of the emperor, but also to investigate something else.

Ren Yuhuan knew that his father must have many eyes and ears in the Forbidden Army. Jia Yong could not find out anything this time, but Shen Yanzhi certainly did not believe that there was only one of them.

If he could use his strength to pull out all these informants and make his father think that these losses were all caused by Ren Qianyu, he would gain greater power.

When Ren Yuhuan thought of this, he already had a plan in mind.

Shen Yanzhi accompanied Ren Qianyu to calm her emotions.

Ren Qianyu leaned in Shen Yanzhi's arms like a little bird, "I feel scared now that I think about it. If that person is here for the fetus in my belly, I don't dare to think about it anymore."

Shen Yanzhi only cooperated to comfort her.

She had a child after all, so Shen Yanzhi couldn't bear to blame the imperial concubine.

Ren Qianyu only felt happy, but she didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise. His Majesty cared so much, which showed that she couldn't bear to be favored.

So what if Ren Yuhuan is by my side again? The difference between a noble concubine and a catering lady is like cloud mud!

Shen Yanzhi did not stay at Yikun Palace that night, but received military information from the border. Ren Qianyu could not stay and could only send Shen Yanzhi off respectfully.

After Shen Yanzhi left, Ren Qianyu was not in the mood to trouble Ren Yuhuan.

The prime minister and the ministers from Honglu Temple were already waiting in the imperial study.

As soon as Shen Yanzhi stepped into the threshold, the border pass was delivered to him.

Shen Yanzhi opened the sealed beeswax and unfolded it to take a look.

"The Kingdom of Jinshi intends to have good relations with me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and wants to send an envoy to pay homage."

Wang Lian took the letter handed over by Shen Yanzhi with both hands and sent it to the prime minister.

In fact, they already knew it, but they had never seen the official document. Immediately, the minister of Honglu Temple came over to read it. After the two of them read it.

The Minister of Honglu Temple immediately reported back: "Your Majesty, the old king of the Golden Food Kingdom is seriously ill, and the two princes are fighting for power. The person who paid homage to us is the weaker eldest prince."

The prime minister stroked his pale beard and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that their tribute is a lie and they want to borrow the support of Zhou Dynasty for real!"

Shen Yanzhi listened carefully and asked, "Tell me specifically what happened?"

When the minister of Honglu Temple heard this, he immediately talked eloquently and briefly explained the basic situation of the feast, the customs and people's conditions.

Shen Yanzhi thought for a while and said: "Since the old king is still here, this idea can only be regarded as the second prince's personal wish, and it is not procedurally correct."

"Besides, how dare he leave at the critical moment of the struggle for power?"

The prime minister and the minister of Honglu Temple heard Shen Yanzhi's words and knew that there was meaning behind his words, so they all waited respectfully. "I think this second prince has the confidence to ascend to the throne. He didn't come here to seek the support of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He just wants to be the king in advance and announce that he has become the king of the surrounding countries."

After hearing this, the prime minister took another look at the minister of Honglu Temple and immediately asked: "Does your Majesty mean to agree to him first?"

Shen Yanzhi didn't say anything, but turned to look at the minister of Honglu Temple: "Ai Qing, what do you think the chance of the second prince sitting on the throne is?"

When the minister of Honglu Temple heard Shen Yanzhi's question, he was about to talk, but found that the prime minister touched his nose with his hand.

He suddenly came back to his senses: "Your Majesty, I am only responsible for receiving envoys from various countries, and I know a lot of things. But for analyzing military situations, please forgive me. I am incompetent and cannot answer your Majesty's questions."

When Shen Yanzhi heard this, he smiled slightly: "In that case, the only way to pass the letter is to pass the letter? I would like to ask, what is the general of the border army doing? He actually left the problem to me to deal with, what else do I want him to do?"

The minister of Honglu Temple trembled when he heard this. He just thought he was working an extra night shift, and he was still thinking about the sake that his concubine at home was warming on the stove.

If His Majesty had asked, he would have declined politely.

I never thought that Your Majesty could dig so deep!

The prime minister immediately held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty is asking, and the old minister is also thinking about this matter. I remember that the general of the garrison in Jinshi Kingdom is Ma Hongtao, the number one scholar in martial arts."

This was the number one martial artist tested during the late emperor's reign, and he was also the cousin of the favored concubine.

After the death of the late emperor, Ma Hongtao, who was the weakest in power, was squeezed out and stationed at the border of Jinshi Kingdom all year round. It has been more than ten years now.

Marrying another wife and having children in the local area, and not returning home for more than ten years, is enough for a person to regard this place as his second hometown.

The Minister of Honglu Temple listened to the prime minister's words and heard some rumors, and he felt a little uncomfortable standing at this moment.

He once heard that Ma Hongtao was very close to the Jinshi King's family and even married the Jinshi King's youngest daughter as his wife.

It's too late to say this now. If His Majesty hears it, he will be even more angry, right?

We can only pretend to be deaf and mute and keep silent.

However, the prime minister winked at the minister of Honglu Temple. Seeing this, the minister of Honglu Temple was still unsure. Shen Yanzhi noticed the flirtations with the prime minister.

"Ai Qing, do you have something to say?"

The minister of Honglu Temple could only bite the bullet and say it.

After hearing this, Shen Yanzhi believed what the prime minister had just said, and at first he just thought he was agreeing with it.

He immediately looked at Wang Liandao and said, "Give the prime minister a seat."

When the prime minister heard this, he was immediately grateful. He sat on the cushioned seat and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this Ma Hongtao has other intentions. We must send the supervisor to check."

Shen Yanzhi heard it, but felt it was inappropriate.

The journey there will take three months, and the national conditions may have changed when we arrive at the Golden Food Country.

When the prime minister saw that Shen Yanzhi was silent and didn't answer, he knew that this suggestion was nothing, so he immediately said another one, but it was also what he really wanted to say.

Just because he was involved in military power and he was the son of a powerful general, the prime minister was worried that his majesty would think he was suspected of joining the general, so he deliberately avoided suspicion.

The mighty general is Li Concubine's father, and the general's second son is Li Concubine's biological second brother. As a result, the situation in the harem will also change.

This is what the prime minister wants to see.

The imperial concubine cannot be allowed to gain blessings, sit on the throne, and become a powerful relative who interferes with the court. There must be someone in the harem who can suppress her. (End of chapter)
