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

Chapter 434 The Queen Mother’s Secret

Whoever it is, we'll find out soon enough.

Ren Yuhuan glanced at Shen Yanzhi, and the two looked at each other. Shen Yanzhi stepped forward and tried his best to take the empress dowager away.

"Get out! All of you, get out! I want to be alone! Get out!"

The Queen Mother spoke and everyone withdrew.

Ren Yuhuan and Shen Yanzhi also walked out together.

The Queen Mother couldn't wait to make sure whether there was really no one there, so she immediately found the mechanism and opened the tunnel.

As soon as she entered, she closed the mechanism and people outside could not open it.

The guard had no choice but to retreat back to the tree.

Soon, the Queen Mother came out, dragging a woman with her.

The woman seemed to have no breath and was motionless.

The Queen Mother wailed and dragged the man to the ruins.

Qinglian came out from her hiding place and walked towards the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother raised her head suddenly, and a chilling murderous intent immediately burst out from her tear-blurred eyes.

Qinglian didn't dare to go forward: "Queen Mother, who is this?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Who is this?"

Qinglian walked up again and when he got closer he could see the woman's face clearly.

The woman was extremely thin and her skin was extremely pale. Qinglian had never seen such a lifeless white.

"Queen, who is this? Does she live underground?"

The Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Qinglian. Her expression was complicated for a moment, and finally sadness and despair overwhelmed everything.

"This is my daughter!"

Qinglian's eyes widened, and the guard immediately went out to report.

Shen Yanzhi was shocked when he heard this, and was about to go in, but was held back by Ren Yuhuan.

"Let everyone disperse. Don't talk nonsense about what happened today. Be careful of your life!"

The guard knew that this was a serious matter and immediately went to pass on the message.

Ren Yuhuan then said to Shen Yanzhi: "Just you and I go in, and have them guard outside. No one else can be allowed in!"

Shen Yanzhi understood Ren Yuhuan's painstaking efforts and nodded and gave orders.

When the empress dowager saw Shen Yanzhi coming, she fell down and sat down beside the female corpse, stroked the pale cheek with her hand, and smiled bitterly.

"Everything comes to an end!"

Shen Yanzhi walked forward, reached out to check the woman's breath, and found that she was no longer breathing.

When he looked up, he met the empress dowager's gaze. The empress dowager's eyes were so strange, staring at the person in front of her as if she had never seen him before.

"Queen, if you have anything to say, you can say it now."

Ren Yuhuan walked up and stared at the woman on the ground, feeling a little creepy.

Did Nanny Wang do this because she expected this to happen?
"Very good!" The Queen Mother cleared the unnecessary expression on her face and returned to her indifference.

"Your Majesty, this woman is my daughter, the child I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. As for you——"

"You were born to a concubine in the harem. Don't ask me who you are, I have already forgotten!"

Shen Yanzhi had never expected this result, and was stunned on the spot: "So that's it..."

The Queen Mother sneered, "I must give birth to a son, but unfortunately my belly is not willing to give birth."

"It just so happened that one of the concubines was also pregnant at the time, so I asked the imperial physician to falsify my pregnancy date and postpone it for two months."

"So she was born first..."

"Yes."

The Queen Mother looked at her daughter, her eyes flickered again, and she was extremely restrained. "I can't help it. The late emperor was willing to do anything for Madam Hu. Madam Hu sacrificed her own sister, and Your Majesty did not let Madam Hu's entire family go, leaving 800,000 heroic souls buried in a foreign country!"

"The late emperor is crazy! He is never satisfied in his life and wants to destroy everything in his life! Do you know why?"

"Hahaha, because the person he truly loves is his sister, Princess Anle!"

Ren Yuhuan was shocked.

The Queen Mother was not satisfied: "In order to make her son give up, the late emperor's mother forced him to kill his beloved with her own hands!"

"What did I do? Who made Madam Hu look so much like Princess Anle? And her sister, Concubine Mei, looks even like Princess Anle!"

"Your Majesty, you are a prince, and it is only natural for you to sit on the throne."

The Queen Mother put away the sneer on her face and looked at Shen Yanzhi: "My daughter, pitiful."

"She has been living underground all this time, and I will only take her with me when I leave the palace."

It turns out that this is the true reason why the Queen Mother went out to worship Buddha.

"She can't stand sunlight. If the sun shines on her skin, she will develop red spots. But she loves sunlight and always stays in the woods and refuses to come back."

"I have sacrificed so much for you, Your Majesty. Can I ask you for one last favor?"

"Let's talk, mother."

"Let me take her to the place she loves most, this palace. I will never come back."

Ren Yuhuan stepped forward and held Shen Yanzhi's hand to give him strength.

"it is good."

The news spread that the Empress Dowager went out of the palace to worship Buddha because of a fire in Ci'en Palace.

All the officials bid farewell, and the Queen Mother looked at Ren Yuhuan for the last time: "The harem will be yours from now on, take good care of the little prince."

Concubine Qi, who was standing nearby, happened to hear these words and felt very angry. Although she didn't know what had happened last night, once the Queen Mother left, she lost her big backer.

If he still wants to compete for favor with Ren Yuhuan, relying solely on his father's military achievements may not be enough!

After all, it is the existence of the little prince that makes Ren Yuhuan invincible!

Concubine Qi turned her head and glanced at the little prince. Her expression did not escape the eyes of the empress dowager. The empress dowager curled the corners of her lips and got on the carriage.

Back in Yiku Palace, Ren Yuhuan lay on the chaise longue, and Zanhua and Zijuan came in to serve her.

The two of them saw clearly what Nanny Wang did last night.

"Madame Wang set the fire!"

Ren Yuhuan nodded: "I guessed it."

Zijuan found it hard to accept: "Could it be that Nanny Wang knew there was someone inside?"

"Of course I know there's someone inside, and I also know that person is the Queen Mother's biological daughter!"

Before I could call out, Nanny Wang came in by herself.

Ren Yuhuan didn't get up and just continued lying there.

When Nanny Wang saw this, she knew that even if she confessed, Ren Yuhuan would not arrest her.

"Mammy, sit down and talk."

Nanny Wang begged for mercy, then sat down and looked at Zijuan: "You may think I'm too cruel, but the child is innocent after all, right?"

Zijuan didn't nod, but the look in her eyes revealed her thoughts.

"If I say this is the Queen Mother's retribution, would you still find it unacceptable?"

Zijuan didn't know how to react, so she turned to look at Ren Yuhuan.

"Madam Wang is not someone who enjoys killing people. There must be a reason. Let's first listen to what Madam Wang has been saying."

Nanny Wang has now accomplished what she wanted to do. She has no worries now and can finally say what has been buried in her heart for decades. She couldn't help but smile at this moment.

She is old, and when she smiles, the frowns on her face pile up, it doesn’t look like a smile, but rather like crying.

"I was originally a palace maid. I entered the palace when I was thirteen years old. I experienced the emperor emeritus, the late emperor, and then your majesty. I am old now, older than you know."
