Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 198 You Still Want to Deceive Me?

The queen mother's face changed when she heard it: "Qingming Division? This place again!"

When she investigated the imperial examination fraud case, she felt that this newly established government office was not right. A small case involved the people of the four major families. No one was given face. No matter how they moved around, it was useless. They pulled their people down.

Later, she realized that it was the emperor's premeditated plan.

Qingming Division is the emperor's running dog, so this time it must be related to the emperor.

The queen mother's face was livid, but she sneered in a moment. This person suffered a loss from her and wanted to take it out on her nephew.

It depends on whether she agrees or not.

She looked at Madam Xun: "Fools, I have told you so many times, if you can't solve the problem, just get rid of the person with the problem. Without the victim, how can the Qingming Division investigate?"

Madam Xun cursed in her heart, how many times have they done this kind of thing, do they still need the Queen Mother to remind them? But this time is different.

"The person is under the custody of the Qingming Division, so we can't do anything."

The Queen Mother frowned, looking irritable: "Then pull someone out to take the blame. Doesn't he have a group of bad friends? Promise his family a rich future, and you're worried that he won't agree?"

Madam Xun lowered her head and dared not raise it: "We also want to try, but the person has been arrested, we can't get in, and we can't see him even if we want to."

"There is not a single one left?"

"There is one."

Madam Xun spoke hesitantly, but heard the Queen Mother's rage: "Since there is someone, why are you still dawdling here? Why don't you go and arrange it?!"

If she hadn't been concerned about her manners, she would have thrown the teacup at Madam Xun. If this waste from a poor family hadn't seduced her brother with seductive means, how could she be qualified to enter their Xun family?

And now she can't even do this.

She could no longer bear it and was about to scold her when Madam Xun stopped her with a word——

"But…..., that is the third son of old Prince An."

The Queen Mother's anger paused, and her hot head quickly calmed down. Such a small case also involved the royal family?!

"What did that boy do?"

When this was mentioned, Madam Xun was furious: "It was that young prince who instigated Yu Shu to find that wild girl, and it was also his idea to rape her. You know that Yu Shu is a kind-hearted child. He was just used as a weapon. Now, the culprit is at home, but Yu Shu is locked up in prison. This old Prince An is really..."

"Enough!"

The Queen Mother interrupted Madam Xun's words, and she understood everything in her heart. The emperor wanted to provoke the relationship between the Xun family and the royal family, so that the Xun family would hate the royal family.

Did he think she would be fooled?

Even if the Xun family really took the blame for the Prince An's Mansion, what would it matter? For the future of their Xun family, no matter how many sacrifices they make, it is worth it. 

"Don't say anything about Prince An's Mansion anymore."

"But..."

"Just remember what I said!" The Queen Mother slammed the table with a fierce look in her eyes, "If you dare to act recklessly and ruin my plan, I will never let you go. Do you understand?"

Her face was ferocious, and Madam Xun lowered her head in fear. It seemed that her husband was the master of the Xun family, but in fact, the Queen Mother would give instructions on all matters, big or small. This married daughter was the real head of the Xun family.

She knew that things could not be changed, so she could only swallow her anger.

"Yes, I remember it. What should we do with Yushu?"

The Queen Mother looked at Nanny Qin: "Don't we have someone in the Ministry of Justice? I originally wanted him to hide, but now I can't care about that. Go and tell him to bring the person to the Ministry of Justice. Once he is in our territory, it will be easy to release him."

Madam Xun thanked her quickly, but the Queen Mother didn't even bother to look at her: "Go back, don't worry about Yushu's affairs in the future. A loving mother often spoils her son. What has a good child become under your control? Really..."

Madam Xun didn't hear the rest of the words, but her face was already green. She lowered her head and left in frustration.

"You should go too, the sooner the better."

The Queen Mother instructed Nanny Qin again, talking about going to the Ministry of Justice to pass on the message.

Changxin Palace cannot blatantly interfere in government affairs, so Nanny Qin, a close confidant, has to do this kind of thing in person.

The two of them went out one after the other. The Queen Mother thought about it and felt that there should be no problem with her arrangement to this point. So, she asked someone to light a calming incense and take a nap, but she didn't expect to sleep until the evening, and Nanny Qin hadn't come back yet.

She felt a little uneasy and sent a little eunuch to the Ministry of Justice to find someone, but the news that came back was that the Ministry of Justice had been investigated internally for the past two days. Not to mention that the people outside had gone in, even the people inside hadn't come out.

The Queen Mother was stunned. How could the Ministry of Justice investigate internally at this time?

If it was a coincidence, she didn't believe it. The only explanation was that the emperor knew that she had someone in the Ministry of Justice, and in order to prevent her from rescuing Xun Yushu, he found an excuse to seal the Ministry of Justice.

But how could it be?

She had always been very careful in bribing court officials, and the news should not have leaked out.

Her face changed, but the most urgent thing was to find Nanny Qin. The other party had been with her for so many years and knew too much.

"Go and find her quickly and see where she went."

After all, she was the queen mother, and had been in the palace for many years, with spies everywhere. In just a moment, Nanny Qin's whereabouts were found out.

As soon as she returned to the palace, she was intercepted by the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and she was taken away without even a chance to pass on a message.

The queen mother was furious: "Rebellion, rebellion, who gave them the courage to arrest my people in Changxin Palace?! Prepare the sedan chair, I want to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in person!"

Changxin Palace became lively in an instant, and soon the phoenix carriage carrying the queen mother appeared on the palace road in a menacing manner.

But the more the queen mother walked, the more she felt something was wrong. Xun Yushu was arrested outside the palace, and when she was at the critical moment of saving people, Nanny Qin was taken away by chance. She was too busy to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for people, and she couldn't take care of the Qingming Division.

But there are many of her people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who will help Nanny Qin. It's different in the Qingming Division. They are all the emperor's lackeys. Who knows what they will do to Yu Shu.

The Queen Mother finally understood the intention of this and couldn't help but sneered. Want to use Nanny Qin to hold me back? You're dreaming!

"Change the route, leave the palace, I want to go to the Qingming Division to ask for someone in person!"
