Chapter 496 Regent, please stay (44)
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let me show you something."
Yanxu stood up and walked to the desk and took out an envelope from the drawer on the left side of the desk.
The envelope does not have the names of the sender or recipient and is simply used as a container to store the contents.
"What is this?" Yun Qian took the envelope and looked at Yan Xu before opening it.
The envelope was a little thick, and inside were two or three stacked rice papers filled with writing. The unique smell of pen and ink filled the entire envelope.
Written on the rice paper was some evidence of Prime Minister Liu's collusion with Killing Shadow, some of the things they had done, and some of Prime Minister Liu's private, shady business.
Yun Qian's eyes lit up, "You move so fast, and you have collected these very comprehensively."
Yanxu shook his head slightly, "This is only part of it. I just followed the line of killing shadows, and by the way I greeted those people who were caught killing shadows."
"They are actually willing to say it?" Yun Qian raised her eyebrows slightly, "I thought they were the kind of people who would never obey."
"Most are, but not all of them have weaknesses." Yanxu said.
Once a person has a weakness, he or she has a weakness. Such people are often more likely to loosen their grip.

The streets and teahouses are still lively, and people take time out to sit in the teahouses every day.
The storyteller told the legend in a very emotional voice, and as he spoke, he started talking about the Prince Regent.
"His Royal Highness the Regent is so charming and charming. He has the world in mind and is extremely talented. He has done many things for our people."
"But why is such a person not married yet? It is precisely because His Highness already has a woman he has loved for a long time, but that woman passed away because of some things."
"In order to commemorate that woman, His Highness has been reluctant to get married."
Yun Qian sat in the teahouse and listened with interest. At first, when the storyteller mentioned the regent's words, she thought it would be a serious biography.
As soon as the following words came out, Yun Qian understood that they were still some romantic stories circulated among the people.
A secret guard in black came from nowhere and saluted Yun Qian.
"My subordinate has met the lady."
Yun Qian waved his hand, "No need to be polite, what happened?"
"The lady asked her subordinates to follow Prime Minister Liu into and out of some crowded places. Yesterday, Prime Minister Liu went to a powder shop in the south of the city and stayed there for a long time. The waiter in the shop was guarding the door."
"My subordinates have been to that powder shop with His Highness before. It is one of the bases where the Shadow Killers meet."
The water in the cup on the table was a little cold. Yun Qian turned the cup and said, "He went there for the first time yesterday?"
"This is the first time since my subordinates followed him secretly."
Yun Qian pondered for a moment, "Okay, I understand, continue to follow."
"Yes."
Prime Minister Liu is cautious in doing things, and it is still difficult to grasp any clues. It would be easier if he started with Liu Xuan, but Yun Qian didn't go to the palace often and couldn't see Liu Xuan a few times.
Then we can only wait patiently for Prime Minister Liu.
.........
Maybe it was because of what he thought about. When Yun Qian was in the tea house, he thought that there was no chance of entering the palace, but when he returned to the house, he found that the opportunity had come.
As soon as Yun Qian returned to Shangshu's Mansion, Yun's father found her and told her that the Queen Mother had summoned her to the palace. He didn't say what the matter was, only that she was going to the palace.
On the way to the palace, Yun Qian made random guesses about the reason why the Queen Mother summoned her to the palace. She thought hard for a long time and couldn't figure it out.
She hasn't done anything wrong recently.
Yun Qian was not opposed to entering the palace, but he felt that it was very troublesome to deal with a smiling and tiger-like person like the Queen Mother, and he felt powerless like a fist being punched on cotton.
The place where the Queen Mother summoned Yun Qian was still in the Imperial Garden. Only the Queen Mother, a few of her maids and her nanny were in the pavilion.
"My daughter has met the Queen Mother. She is safe." Yun Qian saluted.
The Queen Mother smiled and asked Yun Qian to stand up, "Come and sit here, closer to the Ai family."
Yun Qian sat down obediently and allowed the Queen Mother to look at her with a considerate look, with a light smile on her face.
After looking around, the Queen Mother showed a smile and said to the nanny next to her: "Yes, he is a neat person."
Grandma also nodded in agreement, "Miss Yun is indeed very talented and beautiful."
It was obviously a compliment, but Yun Qian couldn't understand the emotion in the Queen Mother's eyes.
"I wonder why the Queen Mother is looking for her daughter?" Yun Qian asked.
The Queen Mother did not answer first, but asked the maid to pour tea for Yun Qian.
"The Ai family heard that you are very close to His Highness the Regent?"
Sure enough, Yun Qian thought so in her heart.
Yun Qian and Yan Xu did not shy away from meeting each other, and Yun Mu had already noticed their relationship. Yun's father should also have guessed, but he didn't say it clearly.
If the Queen Mother wishes to "hear", she can naturally "hear" at any time.
Yun Qian didn't say anything, and the Queen Mother mistakenly thought she was being shy, so she laughed twice and said, "No need to be shy, there is nothing to be ashamed of about this kind of thing."
Yun Qian had no choice but to nod along with the Queen Mother's words.
"The regent is preoccupied with state affairs, so it's not easy to be tempted by someone."
Yun Qian raised her eyes, anticipating that there would be a but in the future.
The Queen Mother added her own words: "However, the position of Princess Regent cannot be taken by just anyone."
"Marriage is also about being of the same family, Miss Yun said, right?"
There was something hidden in the Queen Mother's words. Yun Qian smiled after listening for a moment.
"Your Majesty, I have always had a question. I don't know how to get a good match. Can you please give me some answers?"
"Only someone like Princess Feiyun can be considered a good match, right?"
Upon hearing Princess Feiyun's name, the Queen Mother's face turned ugly for a moment.
"Do you know what you are talking about?!" the Queen Mother scolded.
Yun Qian looked innocent, "Back to the Queen Mother, I am just curious and want to get the answer. The Queen Mother is such a kind and kind person, she will definitely tell me, right?"
Kidnapped by Yun Qian and his gang, the Queen Mother was placed on a high platform and was unable to get off the platform.
"You..." The Queen Mother did not expect Yun Qian to be such a sharp-tongued person.
It is well known that Princess Feiyun cares about the regent. After accidentally bumping into Yan Xu and Yun Qian at Yiliang Palace, she went back and cried to the Queen Mother for a long time.
Of course, the Queen Mother had her elbows turned inward, and she told Princess Feiyun distressedly that the future consort would definitely be the regent.
Later, when she learned of Yun Qian's existence and that the woman in Yiliang Palace was also Yun Qian, the Queen Mother found Yun Qian.
The original intention was to give Yun Qian a hint, covertly or overtly, but Yun Qian turned out to be rude and was rude when he came up.
The Queen Mother had a sullen face and was about to say something else, when a maid ran in from Xiaobu.
The Queen Mother glanced at the maid impatiently, "Why are you running?"
The maid trembled with fright and began to stutter when she spoke, "In reply to the Queen Mother, I am just here to deliver a message."
"Regent...His Royal Highness the Regent is here."
The Queen Mother looked surprised, as if she didn't expect Yanxu to come, and she glanced at Yun Qian.
"Let him come in slowly first..."
The maid calmed down her breathing, "Your Highness, he..."
"His Royal Highness the Regent has come in."
