After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 391 Encounter with Concubine De

Ren Yuhuan followed Doctor Xie out, but heard footsteps in front of them. They had no choice but to go back.

Passing by Concubine De's room, Ren Yuhuan put his hand on his lips, and the two of them hid behind him.

"Ugh! There's no road over there!"

There is indeed no way!

Perhaps in order to prevent others from finding Concubine De through the secret passage, the road ahead has been blocked.

An iron chain as thick as an arm hung on the heavy iron door.

Ren Yuhuan and Doctor Xie were left with nowhere to go and could only stand there and wait.

Shen Yanzhi and Jia Bin came over with torches in their hands, illuminating the entire secret passage.

Ren Yuhuan had no choice but to step forward and salute.

Doctor Xie hid behind Ren Yuhuan and followed him to pay his respects.

Shen Yanzhi didn't expect to meet Ren Yuhuan here.

He didn't understand how Ren Yuhuan found Concubine De and when he found her. Did he bring Imperial Doctor Xie to see Concubine De?

Shen Yanzhi waved his hand and remained silent with a stern face.

Ren Yuhuan could only step back and stand aside.

Jia Bin looked at Doctor Xie and followed Shen Yanzhi to Concubine De's room.

"You already know about this?"

Defei glanced at Ren Yuhuan, and when she saw Ren Yuhuan nod slightly, she nodded too.

Shen Yanzhi said, "Okay, in this case, I don't need to explain it to you."

"My mother may not be able to find this place, so I want to persuade you to stay here. I will do my best to protect you and your son."

Defei lowered her head and thought, this answer is very important.

It just so happened that Shen Yanzhi came in person, so she didn’t have to rely on Ren Yuhuan anymore, and she could ask any questions she wanted to ask now.

"Your Majesty, does Shen Hebei know that I have his child?"

Shen Yanzhi nodded.

"Then what did he say?"

Concubine De looked at Shen Yanzhi anxiously, hoping to get an answer.

"It may have been intercepted and not seen."

Shen Yanzhi deceived Concubine De.

Everyone present knew that this letter was given to Qinglian by Shen Yanzhi. He should know clearly in his heart what the consequences would be if he gave the letter to Qinglian.

Be it Concubine De or the baby in her belly, Shen Hebei still doesn't care.

Ren Yuhuan guessed that Shen Hebei probably wanted Qinglian to do it herself, and then use it as an excuse to control Qinglian.

Qinglian must have made a great determination to take this step this time.

From now on, Qinglian will bear the sin of losing two lives. Shen Hebei is so cruel to the person who loves him so deeply!

When Concubine De heard this, she pondered in her heart and suddenly laughed and cried.

"Haha, you lied to me!"

"He actually knows everything, right?"

Ren Yuhuan stepped forward to comfort Concubine De: "Your health is important now, don't get emotional, and take care of the child!"

This sentence reminded Concubine De. She protected her belly with her hands, sniffed, and stared at Shen Yanzhi with squinted eyes: "It's okay!"

"This child is everything to me, I must protect him!"

"Your Majesty, you promised me that as long as I tell you what I know, you will protect my child and me. Do you still keep your word?"

Shen Yanzhi immediately replied: "Of course!"

Doctor Xie coughed, bowed to Shen Yanzhi, and started to walk away. Shen Yanzhi stopped him and asked, "Where are you going?"

Doctor Xie blinked and looked at Shen Yanzhi: "Your Majesty will talk about something important next. I don't think you want me to hear it, so I will leave first."

Jia Bin laughed and put his arm around Doctor Xie's shoulders: "It's okay, let's listen together. I need your help anyway."

Doctor Xie smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I got lost inside and walked here. I am a humble official with limited abilities and cannot take on such a heavy responsibility."

Shen Yanzhi glanced at Doctor Xie and said, "I haven't told you what to do yet, how do you know you can't do it?"

Doctor Xie bowed and said, "Isn't this simple? Your Majesty, you want to get her out of the palace, and she's pregnant. It's not easy, not easy!"

Ren Yuhuan listened to what Doctor Xie said and looked up at Shen Yanzhi.

It is really surprising that Shen Yanzhi can tolerate Doctor Xie like this.

Shen Yanzhi just curled his lips and ordered: "Even if you can't do it, you have to do it!"

When Concubine De heard that she could go out, she immediately grabbed the railing and said, "I'm going to go out, to a place where no one knows me, and raise my child!"

Shen Yanzhi then turned to look at Concubine De: "I want to change your appearance. You may have to live with a human skin mask for the rest of your life. Are you willing?"

The human skin mask is welded to the face, which means you will have to live with another face for the rest of your life.

Moreover, she could not take her child to see Shen Hebei because she was no longer herself.

Concubine De hesitated.

Shen Yanzhi knew that she wanted to find Shen Hebei, after all, he was the father of the child.

So he did not hide it anymore and said to Concubine De: "I just told you that Shen Hebei did not receive the letter, but in fact I made sure that the letter was delivered to him."

"As for how the Queen Mother knew this, you can probably figure it out, right?"

Concubine De bit her lips so hard that they almost drew blood.

"I know what your majesty means. Shen Hebei wants my mother and I to die. I've known this for a long time, but I just keep deceiving myself."

"That's right. Wouldn't it be great if you could start over and live your life well after you get out?"

Concubine De smiled bitterly: "I am already this old, what else is there to live for?"

But she stroked her belly and steeled herself again: "I will, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, he knelt down.

Shen Yanzhi quickly stopped him.

Doctor Xie twisted his body and looked at Jia Bin, then said with a grin, "Can I not listen to the rest of your words?"

Jia Bin also laughed and said, "Let's listen. Everyone is curious. Doctor Xie is especially curious and has a quick mind. Why don't we think of some ideas together?"

Doctor Xie felt that he had suffered a terrible loss, a huge loss!
What does Shen Yanzhi’s affairs have to do with him? He still has to go back to look after Chu Shu and can’t waste any time here!

"Your Majesty, my fellow apprentice is still alone, I am worried..."

Shen Yanzhi said calmly: "Don't worry, when you are not here, my guards will fully protect his safety. If anything happens, I will be responsible!"

Doctor Xie had no more excuses, and leaned on Jia Bin with a dejected look on his face.

Jia Bin didn't care. He was happy enough just knowing that he had been humiliated.

Concubine De told the story slowly and leisurely.

"I should have died after my father's rebellion was put down."

"But the Queen Mother thinks highly of me and said that she would use me as an example for those rebel soldiers who have not surrendered yet."

"I will be treated with favor and can even enter the palace as a concubine. Those hesitant and fleeing rebels will be grateful to Your Majesty and surrender one after another."

“In fact, it was done.”

Concubine De sat down slowly, rubbed her belly with her hands, looked into the distance, and recalled stories from the past.

"It's just that my usefulness is short-lived. Once the rebellion is completely quelled, I will be of no use to you."

"I was banished to the cold palace."

De Fei gave a bitter smile and sighed: "I would have been better off dead!"
