On their wedding night, she burned down the Prince Regent's palace.

Chapter 122 The Confrontation in the Palace
Ye Zhiyu originally wanted to persuade Hua Niang to leave this wrong place, but unexpectedly he was left speechless by Hua Niang.

After opening his mouth, Ye Zhiyu wanted to struggle a little more, but Hua Niang poked his forehead with his finger.

"Just rest. I have made up my mind to stay with Xiao Fengtuan. Don't try to break us up by any tricks."

Ye Zhiyu blinked his eyes, and before he could think of a countermeasure, he fell into a deep sleep with fatigue all over his body.

It's night, in Cining Palace.

Shen Yanliu looked coldly at the man in black kneeling in the hall, his red lips parted slightly.

"You said that not only did they fail to arrest anyone, but they also left Feng Wuming alive?"

The man in black trembled, but he didn't dare not reply. He could only put his head to the ground and beg for mercy.

"Replying to your Majesty, it is true that the people sent out by my subordinates did something wrong! Please punish me!"

"Punishment?" Shen Yanliu sneered, "When did I become such a bodhisattva-hearted person in your eyes that you actually thought I would spare their lives?"

"That's what I said! Damn it! They deserve to die!"

The man in black was sweating and kowtowed quickly.

Shen Yanliu rubbed his forehead, not wanting to look at him again, and waved his hands in disgust, "Find a way to clean up this mess! If Feng Wuming gets even the slightest bit of information from those people..."

"I obey my orders! Don't worry, Madam, no news will be leaked!"

Seeing the turning point, the man in black immediately took the order and left in hiding.

Bao Qiu bowed his head respectfully and stepped forward, taking over from Shen Yanliu's hands and rubbing her forehead.

After a while, Shen Yanliu let out a heavy breath, "A bunch of useless things, how can they be the number one organization in the world? The flowing money my father takes from me every year is to support these wastes!"

Baoqiu cautiously spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, Madam. Although it failed this time, wasn't the prince forced to a dead end by the Madam? As soon as the news of the forcible use of the city protection army spread, the Madam did nothing. The admonishers who only catch people doing wrong things in the daytime should not stop watching them like flies seeing flesh!"

Seeing that Shen Yanliu's expression softened slightly, Baoqiu continued, "The empress only lost a few small chess pieces. As long as they are killed in time, not even a spark can burn the empress. On the contrary, the prince, even if he is saved now, So what about people, I’m afraid that in a few days they will be unable to protect themselves!”

Shen Yanliu glanced at her with a smile, "You are quite alert. You have improved so much in just a few days."

Baoqiu smiled gratefully and knelt down towards Shen Yanliu, "I would like to thank you for your cultivation. It is because I don't dislike you and I always give you advice. Only then can I do my best for you!"

"Okay, get up. You are an old man who follows me. You don't have to kneel down every now and then." Shen Yanliu raised his hand.

"Has Your Majesty heard about Feng Wuming's actions today? What's your reaction?"

Baoqiu was troubled, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke, "Reporting to your Majesty, Your Majesty has been staying at the Imperial Preceptor's residence to recuperate from illness. The Imperial Preceptor serves under him are all Taoist boys he has chosen, that is, Wenzhu, who usually waits at His Majesty's side, cannot move around casually to deliver news."

Shen Yanliu's eyes became cold again, "As you grow up, your wings become stiffer." Baoqiu called out to the empress worriedly, but he didn't know how to persuade her, so he could only stand quietly beside Shen Yanliu.

Shen Yanliu suddenly felt that he was extremely tired. He was making plans like this not just to keep Feng Yanzhi's position as emperor, but he didn't seem to appreciate it at all!
Both the master and the servant were silent, and a report came in at this moment.

Shen Yanliu frowned when he heard the sound. Feng Yanzhi came here at this time. Could it be that he wanted to plead for Feng Wuming?
Feng Yanzhi entered Cining Palace and was about to salute when Shen Yanliu stopped him.

"Your Majesty has not yet recovered. There is no need to adhere to these customs in the Aijia Palace. Please sit down quickly."

Feng Yanzhi did not refuse, but frowned when he saw Baoqiu saluting him and still standing beside Shen Yanliu.

Shen Yanliu looked at it but didn't notice it, and ordered Qiu to go down and give Feng Yanzhi a cup of Junshan Silver Needle. There were only mother and son left in the room for a while.

Only then did Feng Yanzhi speak again.It's just that although the words were not meant to enlighten Feng Wuming, they did not break away from the relationship with Feng Wuming.

"The Queen Mother has already handed over the official's performance report to the Emperor's uncle?"

Shen Yanliu nodded lightly, "Exactly, or does Your Majesty have any other favorite candidates? If so, I am too anxious."

"But I remember, hasn't this matter been handed over to my uncle before?" Feng Yanzhi had tried his best to hide the suspicion in his eyes, but Shen Yanliu still noticed it.

If it weren't for the fact that this boy was really his biological son, Shen Yanliu would have really wanted to hold Feng Yanzhi's ears and pour the water out of his head.

Feng Wuming and Shen Yanliu were close and distant to Feng Yanzhi. Couldn't this kid not tell the difference?
The Shen family did act a little frivolously because of her status, but she was his biological mother!Could it be possible to harm him?
Seeing Shen Yanliu's silence, Feng Yanzhi thought that he had figured out the key, and was about to ask more questions when he heard Shen Yanliu's voice without even a hint of smile.

"Why, Your Majesty thinks it is safer to leave this matter to the Duke? If so, then the Ai family will take back their orders."

Feng Yanzhi quickly wanted to deny it, but looking at Shen Yanliu's cold eyes, he knew that he had just been careless and missed his purpose.

Shen Yanliu sighed softly, "Your Majesty is affectionate and does not forget the help of the regent when he was a child. It is a good thing. But how can a noble person like you indulge in personal affairs all day long, so that you can't tell the difference between the close and the distant?"

Feng Yanzhi also became solemn, "The Queen Mother has said this to me many times before. When did my answer change?"

"Earlier, you were too young and ignorant!" Shen Yanliu's voice was a bit sharp, "It's okay to be confused for a moment. How could I just watch you continue to be confused? You have such a temper, without me to control it , if it falls into Feng Wuming’s hands, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to resist at all!”

Feng Yanzhi looked at Shen Yanliu and sighed softly, "Queen Mother, why do you think that my uncle and I must be incompatible? If he had already had the intention of arrogance, why would he help me to ascend the throne at that time!"

"People's hearts are fickle!" Shen Yanliu answered word by word, looking at Feng Yanzhi with disappointment in his eyes.

"In the past, whether he was sincere because of the late emperor's entrustment of Gu Gu to plan for you, or whether he was judging the situation and avoiding the edge temporarily. After so many years, even Feng Wuming asked himself, he dare not say that his original intention has not changed, but why are you the emperor? I don’t understand!”

Feng Yanzhi looked at Shen Yanliu, who had no manners in front of him, and felt discouraged.
Shaking his head gently, "I never believed that the emperor's uncle would be merciful to me, but that he had the community at heart and would not implicate the people for his own selfish desires."
