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

"How did Concubine De hook up with Shen Hebei?"

"Don't your Majesty know the secret passage?"

"Back then, in order to be with Concubine Mei and not want to wrong Concubine Mei, the late emperor did a lot of construction work in the palace and built complicated secret passages. And Shen Hebei expanded some of them."

"I see."

After Shen Yanzhi ascended the throne, he had no intention of renovating the palace. It was Shen Hebei who went to please the Queen Mother and asked the Queen Mother to come forward to persuade Shen Yanzhi.

At that time, Shen Yanzhi only thought that Shen Hebei wanted to make money from it and was unwilling to harm the Queen Mother's face, so he agreed.

Shen Hebei lived in the palace all day at that time, in the Queen Mother's palace. It seems that he and Concubine De met during the construction of the secret tunnel during that time.

Concubine Xian added: "Yes, Concubine De was completely confused by Shen Hebei. I don't think that Shen Hebei is a good person. He seemed to have feelings for both of us at the beginning."

Speaking of this, Concubine Xian sneered and said, "He thinks that I am also that kind of frivolous woman, and he can fool me with just a few words!"

Shen Yanzhi had never known them before, and had almost forgotten the existence of the two concubines Xian Fei and De Fei. Hearing what Xian Fei said now, he felt a little admiration in his heart.

"Although I didn't go so far as to eavesdrop on their conversation, I happened to bump into them in the secret passage and the words came to my ears. That's how I heard them one by one."

Concubine Xian did not think Shen Yanzhi was the emperor at all, and said in front of him that she did not abide by the palace rules and walked through the secret passages of the palace at will.

"Since we are going to build a secret tunnel, I can naturally detect something wrong. So Shen Hebei informed us in advance. He also knew that we could not verify it, so he could just talk nonsense."

Concubine Xian didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did, and continued: "How can I keep my shoes from getting wet when I often walk by the river? They found me when they were planning. From then on, I never went to the secret passage again. Playing in the temple.”

"Haha, Shen Hebei saw that although I ignored him, I loved going out to play, so he dropped his guard against me."

"Shen Hebei's identity, what he wants to do, and what he is doing. Anyway, I know a little here and a little there. You don't need to know too much about what he is doing, and you can guess his purpose."

Concubine Xian knew these things clearly but did not report them.

Although Shen Yanzhi thought of this, he couldn't blame her. After all, Shen Yanzhi was also very ruthless to her.

"Your Majesty, you must be wondering why Shen Hebei didn't kill me, right?"

"So you saw through Shen Hebei's uneasy intentions and investigated him privately?"

"Yes!"

"Later I quietly tested it and found that my entrance was blocked."

"Originally, I thought that everyone should get what they need, so that's fine! But gradually I discovered that something was wrong with Concubine De. She began to do things in secret, and she had more secret conversations with Shen Hebei."

Concubine Xian smiled, as if she had said what made her happy, and her expression lit up.

"I don't believe it anyway, but I also want to go out and play!"

Shen Yanzhi didn't think so, but he didn't want to deny it because he wanted to know the answer.

"Haha, the toys hanging all over the house are my disguise. Oh, Your Majesty, you don't even know that I'm seriously ill, right?"

Shen Yanzhi didn't know. At this moment, Concubine Xian's face showed tenderness and sadness that she had never seen before, and she sighed with a nostalgic smile: "It was Imperial Doctor Jiang who helped me. He helped me hide it from Shen Hebei, and he didn't even ask me why. Do this."

Shen Yanzhi was shocked when he heard that, Doctor Jiang!
Concubine Xian revealed this secret because she wanted to avenge Dr. Jiang! But I only told it to Ren Yuhuan because...

Concubine Xian was immersed in memories and sat blankly, regardless of whether Shen Yanzhi was still sitting across from her. Even if Shen Yanzhi stood up to leave, she did not move.

Shen Yanzhi waved to the palace maid who wanted to remind Concubine Xian, and walked out with a gentle step.

Concubine Xian's eyes turned to Shen Yanzhi's back, she opened her mouth and closed it again. Seeing that Shen Yanzhi was about to step out of the threshold, Concubine Xian stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, would you like Ren Yuhuan to come see me?"

Shen Yanzhi understood the reason why she wanted to see Ren Yuhuan, so he nodded and said, "She will come."

Concubine Xian gave a hard hum and looked at the silence outside the door.

The maid next to her complained: "My Majesty! Your Majesty finally came here, why are you absent-minded? Don't you want to get out of this ghost place?"

Concubine Xian looked bitter when she heard this, and smiled and said: "I should have committed suicide when my family members were kneeling and asking me to enter the palace. Why are you so soft-hearted? In the end, everyone went back to their place of origin, leaving me alone here. torture······"

The palace maid didn't care about Xian Fei's words, she just frowned and talked to herself and made excuses.

Concubine Xian ignored it, she was used to it.

These slaves naturally want to live a good life with their masters. Fortunately, Shen Yanzhi specifically ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to take good care of them these years. Otherwise, these slaves might have climbed over their masters long ago.

Concubine Xian was a little silent and yawned. She felt more and more bored because the sun was setting late.

Shen Yanzhi went to the Imperial Physician's Office, and the busy imperial physicians came over to salute one after another.

Shen Yanzhi waved his hand and said, "Just come over, Dr. He, you can do your own thing."

Dr. He followed Shen Yanzhi to an empty room, and Shen Yanzhi said, "I want to see the documents and files left by Dr. Jiang."

Doctor He heard that although he didn't know Shen Yanzhi's intention, he thought it would be okay to take a look. After all, he had read all the documents.

After Shen Yanzhi sat down, he started reading one by one.

It wasn't until Ren Yuhuan personally found the Imperial Medical Office that Shen Yanzhi just finished reading the documents in his hand.

"Your Majesty, do you want to learn some medical skills?"

Shen Yanzhi listened to Ren Yuhuan's witty words and did not respond. He just put down the document in his hand gently and said: "In order to end this chaos, I have been talking to many people I know these days."

"Shen Hebei, Concubine Xian, Concubine De, and now Imperial Physician Jiang. I have never paid attention to these people around me before, but I thought I knew them all. Now it seems that I was wrong."

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuhuan smiled and said, "People have seven orifices and exquisite hearts, and they also have eight exquisite words. If your Majesty wants to completely understand a person, it may be difficult for you."

When Shen Yanzhi heard that, he turned to look at Ren Yuhuan, thinking of Shen Hebei and Imperial Physician Jiang. Both of them had deep feelings for Ren Yuhuan, and I'm afraid they wouldn't lose to him.

Dr. Jiang died for Ren Yuhuan, which he will probably never be able to compare to...
Thinking about the suffering Ren Yuhuan suffered because of his suspicion and wanting to control everything, he felt more and more guilty. (End of chapter)
