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

Chapter 319 Many Countermeasures
Shen Yanzhi smiled faintly: "Concubine De was hiding in a secret passage, and I led someone to find her. Can she still escape?"

"It's just that Concubine De was ready to kill herself with a knife when we found her."

After saying that, Shen Yanzhi looked carefully at Shen Hebei's reaction. Who knew that Shen Hebei's reaction was not big, and there was no trace of pain or even pity in his eyes.

Instead, he quickly figured something out.

Shen Yanzhi knew that he might still use Concubine De as his last turf to negotiate terms with Shen Yanzhi, and now he had one less way out.

After all, Shen Hebei would never believe that Shen Yanzhi would let him walk out of the prison alive.

"Concubine De told me before she died that she would do anything for you."

"She said that just after meeting you, her world finally became colorful. Thinking of being able to be honest with you one day, she was willing to do anything."

Hearing this, Shen Hebei sneered: "Your Majesty, I don't care if you accuse me of using my feelings. Have you always been like this to Ren Yuhuan?"

"If it hadn't been for me, Ren Yuhuan would have died countless times. You clearly know that it is Ren Yuhuan who has been serving you, but you still treat her like that!"

"Emperor, you are the son of Concubine Mei. You naturally know how touching the late emperor and Concubine Mei's true relationship was. You actually chose to use this method to deceive Concubine De?"

"Maybe I should have done this. I have planned it for more than ten years. Only she was unexpected. If I had killed her earlier, maybe you would collapse, and I wouldn't have to prepare like this..."

Shen Hebei sneered and said, "You clearly know who I like. If I had been crueler, Ren Yuhuan would have died long ago."

If Ren Yuhuan was gone, his world would probably lose all its glory. Perhaps he would become more suspicious and moody...

Shen Yanzhi sighed and said, "It's precisely because I know that it's hard not to have hatred in your heart. It's just that I hope that you also have love in your heart, that's why I use Concubine De to persuade you."

"You don't believe it, but I do know that I have been paying attention to your situation since I came to the throne. When General Liu came to you, it was my suggestion, but I made it happen for you."

"Yes, my mother and the late emperor really wanted to be together for the rest of their lives. What good would this do to me? I lost my mother when I was a baby, and my father handed me over to my enemy."

Shen Yanzhi knew that Shen Hebei was telling the truth.

Shen Hebei was stunned for a moment, but immediately shook his head and said, "So what?"

He spoke of Shen Hebei's tragic childhood experience in an extremely calm tone, as if it was someone else's business.

"Even if you have no feelings for her, she stopped all the crimes for you before committing suicide. Don't you feel a little bit sad for her?"

Shen Hebei sneered mockingly.

"You don't need to think of ways to make me angry. I was really suspicious before, which made Ren Yuhuan suffer a lot. I admit that I feel guilty in my heart, but what about you?"

"I know."

Shen Yanzhi just frowned slightly, not angry.

"She threw me to Princess Ning. Do you know that Princess Ning is a crazy woman? If I hadn't been taken care of by General Liu, I would have died long ago."

When Shen Hebei heard this, his eyes were extremely cold.

"Is the Queen Mother a loving person?"

Shen Hebei interrupted Shen Yanzhi's thoughts and asked coldly: "Go on, we are not chatting, are we?"

Shen Yanzhi heard this and sighed: "Bilan is very abnormal. She has always been unruly. She suddenly became cautious, knew how to guess people's hearts, and became hypocritical."

"Ren Yuhuan told me that Li Bi also realized something was wrong and hinted a lot. Ren Yuhuan saw that Bi Lan had an extremely bad attitude towards Li Bi after she came to power, so she began to become suspicious." Shen Hebei frowned and said, "People like Bi Lan, What’s wrong with being ruthless after taking power?”

Shen Yanzhi chuckled and said, "Yes, but Ren Yuhuan said that being so bad to Libi would not do Bilan any good at all. Why is it that she has become so smooth, but there is a contradiction here?"

Hearing this, Shen Hebei sighed: "That's why I said she should..."

Shen Yanzhi continued: "You want to control Bilan, so you deliberately alienate her and resent Libi so that Libi can't interfere with her, right?"

Shen Hebei nodded.

Shen Yanzhi continued: "After knowing this, we understand that the manipulator behind the scenes has reached into the harem again."

Shen Hebei laughed at himself: "You can interfere with both the former dynasty and the harem. The scope of the person behind the scenes has been narrowed quickly, right?"

Shen Yanzhi nodded: "We found out, and you naturally understand this, so you found two scapegoats."

"Ren Tianbao and Shu Fei, right?"

Shen Hebei said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Shen Yanzhi nodded and said: "Yes, Ren Yuhuan went behind my back to investigate with Li Bi, and found the kite flown by Concubine De. We were just one step away from investigating it. You have found Ren Qianyu at this time, right?"

Shen Hebei uncrossed his legs and sat lazily, pulled on his clothes and nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I'm afraid Ren Yuhuan discovered this again, right?"

Shen Yanzhi nodded: "Ren Qianyu's change in attitude and Hongxiu's strange behavior have exposed this."

"Ren Qianyu is an idiot, I have always known it."

Shen Hebei commented indifferently, with disdain in his words.

Shen Yanzhi had become accustomed to his indifference to his opponent's chess pieces, so he said nothing and continued: "It's not that you don't want to attack Ren Qianyu, you just want to take advantage of Ren Tianbao, so you have to endure it, right?"

Shen Hebei said openly, "Yes. Ren Tianbao is very powerful, and he has no bottom line. It is much easier to cooperate with him."

"Your Majesty and Ren Yuhuan have cleared out a lot of Ren Tianbao's eyes and ears, right? Even I admire him for being able to spend ten years or even longer cultivating his subordinates."

"I never thought that he would have so many informants inside and outside the palace. This is the only thing I admire!"

"I think there is something to be said for someone who is in such a franchise and is in such a position."

Shen Yanzhi felt a little disliked when he saw that Shen Hebei didn't care about Concubine De, but instead nodded to a villain like Ren Tianbao.

"Okay, you don't have to give in too much."

Shen Hebei saw the angry look on Shen Yanzhi's face and asked with a smile, "Is Ren Yuhuan's mother still alive?"

Shen Yanzhi nodded: "Of course."

Shen Hebei sighed and said, "You guys are really good at changing people!"

"Haha, interesting, why didn't I think of this?"

"The late emperor did this to my mother. I knew it clearly, so why did I let you succeed?"

"It's really a small mistake that defeated my whole plan!"
