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

Ren Yuhuan heard this and knew that Li Bin had something to say, so he immediately smiled and said: "If sister is willing to go, I will naturally be happy."

Zijuan was scolding Hongxiu in the room, but Hongxiu was lying on the bed and said: "We all care about the empress. It's a pity that the empress is too smart and discovered the flaw at once."

"The only mistake we made was that we shouldn't have done it behind my mother's back. Then everything would fall into place."

Hearing this, Zicuckoo frowned and said, "Didn't you see the look on my face? Your Majesty is not happy that we drugged Your Majesty, and we almost caused your Majesty to be suspected by the Queen Mother!"

Hong Xiu heard this and said calmly: "How did I know that this would happen? I originally thought that the empress would not find out."

Zicuckoo sighed and said: "Auntie, how could the empress not find out? Your Majesty has already lost interest in the empress, and now your majesty pounces on her like a wolf and a tiger, who wouldn't know?"

Hongxiu heard the rumbling and perfunctory sounds, and then heard other maids shouting that the empress and concubine Li were back.

Zicuckoo immediately said to Hongxiu: "Just lie down, I'm going out."

Hongxiu nodded, waiting for Zicuckoo to go out. She immediately got up from the bed and handed the letter in her arms out of the window.

It turns out that Hongxiu said she was in severe pain just now and was hiding in her room to write a letter. She didn't want Zicuckoo to break in, so she had to deal with Zicuckoo. After Zicuckoo left, she could hand the letter to the palace servant hiding under the window.

"Send it over quickly and tell the master that the Queen Mother is not suspicious of you."

The palace man nodded and went out from the back hall. In the front hall, Zicuckoo ran out and saw Ren Yuhuan and Libi coming, chatting and laughing.

"Sister, sit inside."

Zijuan brought the tea and heard Libi say with a smile: "Today I saw my sister staring at Concubine De and Concubine Xian, I was sweating for you."

Ren Yuhuan heard this and smiled: "I was really confused at the time and couldn't react."

Li Bin picked up the tea cup, but did not drink it. She said directly: "It's not good for you to go to other places to inquire about this matter. I do know. If my sister wants to know, let's talk in private."

Ren Yuhuan heard and knew that Concubine Li was talking about the Queen Mother's instructions, and immediately smiled and said: "If sister is willing to tell me, I will naturally be happy. This is our private gossip and does not count."

Hearing this, Li Bin took a sip of tea.

"Concubine De and Concubine Xian are both about ten years older than us. They were the two concubines that His Majesty married when he was about ten years old. They were both canonized as concubines."

"There were originally four concubines in the harem, but now there are only two of them left."

Ren Yuhuan thought Li Bin was taking the opportunity to pull something off, and was waiting with a teacup in his hand, but Li Bin sighed and changed the subject.

"Actually, Concubine De and Concubine Xian are also pitiful."

"Sister, since they are all His Majesty's concubines, why don't we know each other?"

Li Bin put down the tea cup, recalled the past and said, "This is a long story."

"The late emperor actually had three princes in total, and your majesty is the youngest."

"Although the Queen Mother was a queen back then, she had two older brothers, one of whom was about to reach adulthood."

"The eldest prince back then was a little older, and he paid great attention to establishing a good relationship with the ministers in the court. The ministers in the court all thought that the eldest prince was gentle and courteous. It was really the prince's choice. They all recommended him to be the prince."

"But your Majesty's beloved Concubine Mei gave birth to the second prince, and your Majesty wanted to pass the throne to the second prince. Unfortunately, the second prince was not in good health and was always sick, and he didn't care much about the throne. "

"But the queen back then and now the queen mother have a legitimate son, the third prince."

"You must have heard about the fight between the Queen and Concubine Mei for favor, right?" Ren Yuhuan had heard some, but not all. Now he wanted to listen more carefully, so he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

Seeing this, Li Bin nodded and said, "Then I'll be more careful."

"Back then, Concubine Mei was the most favored in the harem, just like Bilan now. His Majesty was so fascinated that he never agreed to the ministers' words and only wanted to establish a second prince."

"It's a pity that the second prince was really ill and finally passed away. Concubine Mei suffered this blow and was also ill. She never recovered. It took half a year for her to die."

"At this time, the Queen Mother began to take the initiative to contact the ministers, and the power of the Queen Mother's natal family also rose, and she gradually cultivated influence in the court."

"It is a pity that the eldest prince does not have the help of his relatives. Although he is the oldest and has the most popular support, his mother has a humble status and died early, so he cannot compete with the queen at all."

A year later, the eldest prince got drunk and fell off a bridge outside the palace and drowned.

Ren Yuhuan became suspicious after hearing this.

She had already heard about what kind of person the Queen Mother was from Imperial Physician Jiang. The two princes died one after another. Ren Yuhuan would not believe it without the Queen Mother's means.

Li Bin paused, then smiled lightly and said: "No one knows the truth behind it now. My sister naturally has thoughts about it, but we won't talk about it."

"It's just that after the late emperor found out that the two princes were dead and that Concubine Mei was no longer here, he was not very happy. He got angry all day long and began to increase the intensity of the draft in the palace and increase the number of drafts."

"The situation at that time was that there were so many empresses in the harem, and there were several pregnancies within one day of each other."

"Has the baby been born?"

Concubine Li smiled faintly: "Don't you have a brother, Your Majesty?"

Ren Yuhuan shivered not knowing why.

Li Bi nodded and said softly: "I understand how my sister feels. How did you survive being a prince?"

Ren Yuhuan shook his head.

Shen Hebei's strength is not small, his skills are good, and he is extremely concerned about the affairs in the palace, so he may not have other thoughts.

If it weren't for Concubine Li's suggestion, Ren Yuhuan would have forgotten about Shen Hebei.

Thinking of this, Ren Yuhuan immediately asked: "How?"

Li Bi came closer to Ren Yuhuan. There were only two of them in the room now, and Zijuan had already taken the others down.

"The prince's biological mother has a humble status. She took the initiative to show friendship to the queen mother. I heard that she did a lot of things for the queen mother, and then she saved the prince."

"There really hasn't been much news about this."

Li Bin frowned as she finished speaking, seeming to be thinking in her memory.

"Sister, please continue."

Concubine Li heard this and smiled and said: "That's right. His Majesty didn't give up at that time and continued to draft girls."

"I don't know if he damaged his body in this way. His Majesty passed away suddenly, leaving His Majesty who was still young at the time without even a will."

"But there was a lot of rumors in the court. In order to help His Majesty secure his position, the Queen Mother helped His Majesty take in two concubines one after another." (End of Chapter)
