The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

Seeing that her mother was still a little worried, Shen Leyan told her what happened on the day when she paid her respects to the Empress Dowager.

"Yan'er, are you saying that the Queen Mother not only gave you the bracelet she wore close to her body in front of all the concubines, but also took the opportunity to criticize them?"

Shen Leyan nodded happily and stretched out her hand wearing the jade bracelet in front of Shen's mother, "Here, mother, look, this is the bracelet that the Queen Mother gave to her daughter."

Mother Shen looked at the jade bracelet carefully. She saw that the bracelet was full of water and had a warm color. It was indeed a rare treasure.

As someone who had experienced this, she certainly knew what the Empress Dowager's true intentions were.

"I think Yan'er must have passed the Queen Mother's test, so she gave you this jade bracelet, which also represents her recognition of you."

"The Queen Mother has always treated her daughter very well."

Shen Leyan understood the good intentions behind the Queen Mother's actions.

At the same time, she also knew that the Queen Mother and the Emperor could not protect her forever, so she also wanted to gain a foothold in the harem on her own.

After hearing this, Shen's mother felt relieved. She knew that her daughter had always been independent-minded and was not the type to allow herself to be bullied.

He patted Shen Leyan's hand gently and said, "That's good, but the people in the harem are treacherous, you must not take it lightly."

Shen Leyan nodded obediently.

Then Shen's mother asked about how she and the emperor got along.

This is something Shen Leyan can't handle.

The pair of big eyes on the red face blinked, and he didn't know how to answer his mother's question.

"What's so embarrassing about this?"

"Yan'er, haven't you read the booklet that mother gave you that day?"

Shen Leyan's face turned even redder, and she muttered softly, "That booklet...my daughter hasn't had time to read it yet."

She wasn't even planning on watching...

When her mother handed it to her mysteriously, she knew what was in the booklet.

Then he asked Caiyue to hide quietly.

Mother Shen shook her head helplessly, "Silly child, even though the book is full of stories about men and women, it will be beneficial for you to get along with the emperor in the palace."

Shen Leyan knew that her mother was about to bring up some great principles about continuing the family line.

He quickly said, "My daughter knows. She will study it carefully when she returns home today."

Then he changed the subject and told his mother about his daily interactions with the emperor.

After hearing this, Shen's mother was very satisfied with Emperor Yong'an. Not only did he do what he said, he also really came back with his precious daughter.

Seeing that he was so attentive and caring towards Yan'er, she could finally rest assured.

It was getting close to evening and almost time for dinner.

Shen Leyan turned her head and looked out the window. Why haven’t her brother and sister Yueyin come back yet?

"Mother, has the servant you sent to tell my brother come back?"

Mother Shen shook her head and frowned slightly. She almost forgot why Le Bai hadn't brought Yue Yin back yet?

And the servant she sent out did not come back to reply.

"Don't worry, mother. Brother and Sister Yueyin might have been delayed by something."

"Let's go ask Dad first. Maybe the servant will report directly to Dad when he comes back."

Mother Shen nodded, calmed herself down, and went to the garden with Shen Leyan.

In the garden, Shen's father and Emperor Yong'an had no idea how many rounds of chess they had been playing. When they saw Shen's mother and Shen Leyan coming, they smiled and stopped playing chess.

Father Shen asked, "Are you done talking?"

Mother Shen nodded and said, "Master, has the servant we sent out to look for Le Bai come back to tell you?"

"Never."

Mother Shen said worriedly, "Le Bai and Yue Yin haven't returned yet, and the servant I sent hasn't responded either. What should we do?"

"Madam, it's too late. I'll send more people out to look for her."

Shen Leyan and Emperor Yong'an looked at each other, their faces full of worry.

Logically speaking, her brother and sister Yueyin would definitely come back early if they knew she was coming back today.

"Your Majesty, do you think my brother and Sister Le Yin are in danger?"

Emperor Yong'an held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Yan'er. Send more people out to look for her. We will surely get news soon."

Father Shen immediately gave orders and many servants went to search in all directions.

Shen Leyan stood there, feeling more and more uneasy.

Just as everyone was waiting anxiously, a servant came running back in a panic.

"Master, Madam, Miss, something bad has happened!"

Everyone's heart suddenly jumped.

"Tell me quickly, what happened?" Father Shen scolded.

"We found the carriage of the young master and Miss Yueyin in the woods to the west."

"But the car overturned, and the young master and Miss Yueyin are nowhere to be found."

"And there are signs of fighting around."

"what?"

Mother Shen almost fainted, but fortunately Father Shen supported her in time.

Shen Leyan's face was also pale, and her hands were tightly clutching her sleeves.

Emperor Yong'an frowned, "I will immediately send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Soon, the Royal Guards set out to search everywhere.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Shen Leyan was extremely anxious.

No, she couldn't just sit there and wait.

Emperor Yong'an also wanted to find out what was going on as soon as possible.

Who is so bold as to commit murder under the feet of the emperor?

Emperor Yong'an looked at Shen Leyan's anxious expression, took her hand and comforted her, "I'll go out and take a look too. Can you wait here for me to come back?"

Shen Leyan's face was pale and she shook her head, "No, I will go with His Majesty."

"No, you come with me. What if we encounter danger?"

"Yes, Yan'er, you can't go."

"Your Majesty, you cannot go either. The safety of the dragon's body is the most important."

"Why don't you go back to the palace first? I am capable of handling this situation here."

Shen Leyan shook her head with red eyes, "No, with such a big thing happening, how can my daughter return to the palace with peace of mind?"

"That's right. Even if it weren't for Yan'er, I would never sit idly by."

"I want to see who is so arrogant as to hold the son of an important official hostage right under my nose."

After calming down, Shen Leyan thought about all the people who had had conflicts with the Shen family and the Shangguan family.

She felt that such an accident would not happen for no reason.

A fight actually broke out, and the other party was targeting either brother or sister Yueyin.

"Your Majesty, Father, do you think it was done by someone who had a conflict with the Shen family or the Shangguan family?"

"Yan'er means that it might be our enemies who deliberately planned this?"

Father Shen thought about it and felt that he didn't think he had offended anyone who would do such a thing.

But Shangguan Rui didn't know, after all, he didn't know who the other party was targeting.

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"If there is any grudge against the Shen family, the Ye family is definitely the most suspicious."

The only family Emperor Yong'an could think of was the Ye family, because they were the ones most hostile to the Shen family.
