Before Shen Yan returned to Beijing, their plan went very smoothly.

Master Fu is not in the court, Shen Jianzhang has no opinion, Yan Houzhong, Nanban Cang listens to Ning Zhengxun.

In the court, Ning Zhengxun was almost always on the same page.

Leng Yuting won the trust of Emperor Xuande. He took advantage of Emperor Xuande's trust and respect, and one with Ning Zhengxun worked in secret and the other in the open. The two of them cooperated tacitly and almost sidelined Emperor Xuande.

At this moment, Shen Yan returned to Beijing...

……

Everything is destiny.

When Shen Yan saved Leng Yuting, he would rise up later.

If he follows the right path in the world, he will enjoy endless glory in his life.

But he just took the road of no return.

Shen Yan saved him, and Shen Yan personally ended his life.

Dimly, Leng Yuting saw little Shen Yan.

"Leng Yuting!"

Leng Yuting heard Xiao Shen Yan calling his name. It was really strange. How could Xiao Shen Yan know his name?

He looked at little Shen Yan and showed the gentlest smile in his life.

"Leng Yuting!" Shen Yan shouted again. She stretched out her hand to feel Leng Yuting's breath, and then reported to Emperor Xuande, "Your Majesty, Leng Yuting is dead."

"Throw it into a mass grave! Search the Leng Mansion!" Emperor Xuande's face was cold. Originally, he wanted to hang Leng Yuting's body on the city wall, but it was the New Year in a blink of an eye, and he felt unlucky.

Moreover, an envoy arrived soon. He did not want outsiders to know the bad side of the court. The corpse hanging on the wall would damage the face of the court.

"Youning, let Xie Huaijing handle this matter, and you can handle the rest." Emperor Xuande said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Although the old prince's death was not directly caused by Leng Yuting, it was also indirectly related to him.

Xie Huaijing is the most suitable person to do this.

To Emperor Xuande, Leng Yuting was a treacherous minister who took advantage of his trust and respect and colluded with the Queen Mother to seize his empire. It would not be an exaggeration for him to cut Leng Yuting into pieces.

It just so happened that Xie Huaijing had already finished handling the affairs of Yuxin Palace. When he came to see Emperor Xuande, he took Leng Yuting's body away.

"Queen Mother, Murong Lou is dead, Leng Yuting is also dead, your plan has come to nothing, do you have any regrets?" Emperor Xuande asked.

The Queen Mother was old and seriously injured. She had been sitting just now without saying a word.

When she heard Emperor Xuande's question, she smiled coldly, raised her eyes and glanced sideways at Emperor Xuande, her tone disdainful.

"The Ai family never regrets! They only regret that they misemployed people and let Leng Yuting ruin the Ai family's plans. They only regret letting you sit in this position for so many years. The Ai family should have killed you earlier!"

She hadn't realized that even if Leng Yuting wanted to kill Shen Yan or Emperor Xuande, he couldn't.

They are doomed to fail in this battle to usurp the throne.

Emperor Xuande frowned, his disgust and hatred for the Queen Mother reached its peak.

He never wanted to say another word to the Queen Mother.

"You Ning, take her to Cining Palace and give her three feet of white silk!" Emperor Xuande said.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Emperor, the Ai family is your mother! You are treasonous by killing the Ai family. You will be punished by heaven and be struck by five thunders from heaven!" the Queen Mother roared.

Her roar touched her wound again, causing her whole body to tremble in pain and her face to change shape.

"You Ning, take it away!" Emperor Xuande shouted.

"Yes." Shen Yan looked at the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, let's go."

"Emperor! Emperor!" The Queen Mother was being carried away, but she still refused to give in and frequently turned around and shouted at Emperor Xuande.

Seeing that Emperor Xuande was indifferent, she started calling the late emperor again, "Late Emperor! Late Emperor! Open your eyes and look at your good son! He is going to kill the Ai family!"

……

No matter how the Queen Mother shouted, Emperor Xuande didn't even raise his eyebrows.

It wasn't until the Queen Mother's voice could no longer be heard that Emperor Xuande sat down again.

He took a deep breath and leaned back on the dragon chair. At this moment, his heart was briefly released.

The power of the family that had been weighing on his heart for the past few years was finally lifted.

He felt more relaxed than ever before.

Shen Yan sent the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother was cursing along the way.

"The Queen Mother, if you don't want to die quickly, you'd better shut your mouth immediately!" Shen Yan warned coldly.

Although the Queen Mother knew that she was going to die, she still wanted to live a little longer.

She shut her mouth quickly.

When they arrived at Cining Palace, the Queen Mother looked pale and had only one breath left.

Shen Yan let her calm down for a while, and then asked, "The Queen Mother, what leverage does the Queen Mother have in your hands?"

The Queen Mother looked at Shen Yan and laughed, with a ferocious expression, "The Ai family is going to die, why should I tell you? Unless you can let the Ai family live!"

Shen Yan carried a stool and sat in front of the Queen Mother. Her expression was leisurely and her tone was light, but the words she spoke made the Queen Mother's hair stand on end.

"There are many ways to die. Do you want to die happily? Or die after being tortured? Or, life is worse than death!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression changed.

Shen Yan didn't wait for her to speak, and took out a dagger from her sleeve. She turned her hand around casually, and the dagger turned into a flower in her hand.

"The Queen Mother, how many cuts will it take to cut off your flesh one by one with this dagger? Or, how many cuts can you take?"

Shen Yan's tone was playful, she was a hunter at this time, and the Queen Mother was her prey.

The Queen Mother's eyes widened with fear, and she involuntarily stepped back, trying to escape.

But behind him, apart from the back of the chair, was the wall. There was no way to escape, no place to hide.

What is more terrifying than death is the fear, despair and helplessness before death.

This is exactly the mood of the Queen Mother at this time.

"Shen Yan, madman! You are a devil!" The Queen Mother's lips trembled, her two dry hands tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, and she cursed, "How could they teach you such a thing!"

Shen Yan raised the corner of his mouth with a bloodthirsty sneer, turned his hand, dropped the dagger, and directly cut the back of the Queen Mother's right hand.

In an instant, the Queen Mother roared, "Ah!" Then, a stream of blood seeped out, dyeing the back of the Queen Mother's hands bright red.

The Queen Mother quickly pressed the back of her right hand with her left hand, "Shen Yan, the emperor did not allow you to torture the Ai family. You are disobeying the order!"

"Is it?"

Shen Yan turned the dagger. The dagger danced like a flower and landed on the back of the Queen Mother's left hand. In an instant, there was a long and deep gash on the back of her left hand, which was shocking.

"What can you do to me?" Shen Yan raised her eyebrows with a cold tone.

The Queen Mother didn't care about her left hand or her right hand. The panic and fear made her feel suffocated, but, unfortunately, she couldn't die.

It turns out that this is life worse than death!

"Empress Dowager, where do you think I should draw next?" The dagger was spinning in Shen Yan's hand.

"Stop!" the Queen Mother yelled, "You don't want to know the Queen's secret, I'll tell you!"
