"Shen Yan!"

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth, and a cold light shot out from her cloudy and weathered eyes, "What are you doing here?"

"The Queen Mother, Your Majesty feels sorry for your loneliness during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and specially asked the Queen Mother to accompany you." Shen Yan's tone was respectful, but there was no sign of respect on her face.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on her face. She obviously didn't believe it. She came to care about her, but it was probably just to watch her laugh.

"The Ai family is very good. There is no need. You can go." The Queen Mother said in a cold tone, "Go back and tell the emperor that if you really care about the Ai family, take the Ai family back to the palace as soon as possible."

"The Queen Mother's words must be conveyed to the Emperor truthfully. I am here today and I have good news to tell the Queen Mother."

Shen Yan had a faint smile on her face, "Your granddaughter Shen Yu married His Highness the Fourth Highness and became the Fourth Prince's concubine."

The Queen Mother's expression did not change at all, as if she had known the news for a long time.

"Just last night, Shen Yu gave birth to the emperor's little grandson and became the emperor's eldest grandson."

Shen Yan said while observing the Queen Mother's face.

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up, a look of pride flashed across her face, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

"But." Shen Yan changed the topic, "The child is not the Fourth Highness's, but the Second Highness's."

The Queen Mother's face changed drastically and she was filled with shock, "What did you say?"

"Oh, I forgot, the Second Highness is not the Second Highness. Just last night, Xie Chengzhi was demoted to a commoner and committed suicide out of fear of crime. As for the fourth prince's concubine, he was demoted to a commoner and was thrown into the cold palace. She will never leave the cold palace."

Shen Yan smiled and asked, "Empress Dowager, do you know how Shen Yu survived?"

The Queen Mother looked blankly.

Shen Yan did not wait for her answer and continued, "Your former personal maid, your most trusted Cong Xue, committed suicide out of fear of crime, and her body was thrown into a mass grave."

The Queen Mother swayed and quickly held on to the stone pillar beside her, almost falling to the ground.

She looked in disbelief and murmured, "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"The Queen is also aware of these things. If you don't believe my words, you should believe the Queen's words."

Shen Yan looked at the Queen, "Queen, please go and talk to the Queen Mother. I am waiting for you outside."

The Queen glanced at Shen Yan coldly, then walked to the Queen Mother, "Mother, where is your room? I will help you to rest."

The Queen Mother reached out and pointed back, and the Queen supported her and walked back.

Shen Yan did not follow.

With her here, how could the Queen and the Queen Mother talk to each other?

"Princess, there is vegetarian food in the temple. You have come all the way, so you must not have eaten yet. Why don't you go and try it?" The deacon said with a flattering look on his face.

"Thank you." Shen Yan was also polite.

The queen helped the queen mother into the house. When she saw the scene in the house, a chill ran down her spine. The scene in front of her was so miserable that it was not even as good as an ordinary people's house. It was so shabby that it was unbearable to look at it.

"Mother..."

"Snapped!"

Before the queen could finish her words, she was slapped in the face by the queen mother.

"Mother, why did you beat my concubine?" The queen covered her face and asked coldly.

"Don't you have any idea why the Ai family beat you?" The Queen Mother asked coldly, "Did you do what happened to Shen Yu?"

"Mother, you only asked my concubine to keep Shen Yu, but instead of asking Shen Yu to scheme against my concubine's son, what does it mean that Shen Yu marries my son with someone else's seed?" the queen asked angrily.

The Queen Mother was speechless. Shen Yu was pregnant with Xie Chengzhi's child before plotting against Xie Chengxuan, and she had no idea about this.

No wonder Shen Yu was always mysterious before. It turned out that she and Xie Chengzhi had had an affair for a long time.

What she didn't know was that Shen Yu and Xie Chengzhi had been in love for a long time. Back in the paddock, Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing bumped into the two people who had a private meeting.

The Queen Mother's carefully laid plan was ruined by Shen Yu.

In her plan, Shen Yu is a crucial chess piece. Shen Yu succeeds and loses.

Seeing that the Queen Mother did not refute, the Queen also calmed down. She softened her tone and said softly, "What happened to Shen Yu was not done by me, but by Shen Yan. Shen Yan is now very popular in front of the Emperor. She is not a county official now." The master is Princess Youning."

She didn't dare to confront the Queen Mother head-on. After all, she still had leverage in the Queen Mother's hands.

The best way is to shift the conflict to Shen Yan and let Shen Yan fight with the Queen Mother, and she will reap the benefits.

Sure enough, when the Queen Mother heard this, she became furious.

"She is actually a princess? Being the princess is all about promoting her. What qualifications does she have to be a princess? Bitch, their whole family is a bitch!"

The Queen Mother cursed loudly and spoke in an unpalatable manner, like a shrew in the market.

The queen continued to stimulate her, "The emperor gave her the title of You Ning to protect the peace of the Qin Dynasty. What an honor this must be? If she performs meritorious services in the future, she will be granted a title, right? At that time, she will be the first to be granted the title of a prince in the Qin Dynasty. She is a woman, right? This honor is enough to bless her countless descendants."

The Queen Mother's face turned blue and white for a while, and she was so angry that she almost lost her breath.

The Queen quickly patted the Queen Mother's back, followed the breath on her chest, and gently advised, "Queen Mother, you must not let anything happen to you. You have to cheer up. Shen Yan cannot be allowed to be so carefree all the time. If you have three major problems, Short of that, the one I’m most proud of is Shen Yan.”

She seemed to be comforting, but in fact she intensified the conflict between the Queen Mother and Shen Yan.

After a while, the Queen Mother regained her breath.

She had calmed down. Her daughter should be a princess, but she was killed by Shen Yan himself.

Her granddaughter was ruined and relegated to the cold palace.

Why can the granddaughter of the Gu family become a princess and enjoy all the glory and wealth?

She is not reconciled!

She wants revenge, but she is not stupid and cannot be used as a pawn by the queen.

"Queen, do you hate Shen Yan any less than the Ai family?" the Queen Mother asked the Queen.

The queen smiled and said, "Mother, there is no deep hatred between my concubine and Princess Youning."

"Hmph!" The Queen Mother said with disdain, "Don't play tricks in front of the Ai family. Don't forget that your secret is still in the hands of the Ai family. If the Ai family tells this secret to the emperor..."

"Queen Mother!" The queen was anxious and looked outside. She was relieved a little when she found that there was no one outside the house.

"Don't worry, I'm here. Except for wild cats and mice, no other living creatures are willing to come." The Queen Mother sneered, "Queen, don't forget that your leverage is still in the hands of the Ai family, and don't try to use the Ai family to deal with Shen Yan. Otherwise, we will be defeated and no one will be able to live well!"

The queen thought of the secret. Once Emperor Xuande found out, she, her son, and her natal family would all die.

She had to compromise.

"What do you want to do, Queen Mother?"

"Shen Yan is too powerful. We can only deal with her if we work together. Your natal family is in decline and you have no power. The Ai family has been the queen mother for many years and still has some connections. I support your son to rise to power. You can help me take revenge. I have only one request, and that is Shen Yan Must die!”
