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

Chapter 342: Not understanding the location

In this case, Ren Yuhuan didn't hide anything and went directly to have a showdown with Shen Yanzhi.

Xiao Wu was waiting outside the hall. Seeing Ren Yuhuan's sedan falling, he immediately ran down the stairs to greet it.

"It's such a hot day. If you have anything to do, I can just give you instructions. Why do you need to make this trip yourself?"

Zicuckoo helped Ren Yuhuan get off the sedan, and Ren Yuhuan smiled and said, "It's just hot, so I made some lotus lily soup, chilled it, and brought it to His Majesty to relieve the heat."

"What about Your Majesty?"

Xiaowu smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty said he wanted to take a lunch break, but he hasn't gotten up yet. Why don't you leave the soup and I'll serve it to him when he wakes up?"

During the day, Xiao Wu and other attendants were driven out of the imperial study room. Shen Yanzhi was probably taking a nap, right?
Ren Yuhuan didn't talk to Xiao Wu anymore, nodded and said: "Okay. You can have someone use ice water to calm him down."

Xiaowu agreed to a few words and sent Ren Yuhuan to the sedan chair.

Hairpin Hua chuckled softly at the side: "Where will your empress go next?"

Ren Yuhuan sat in the sedan and said coldly: "Go to Xiyan Daqiang."

Hairpin Hua immediately urged the palace people carrying the sedan to move faster.

Zijuan still didn't understand what Ren Yuhuan wanted to do at this moment, so she could only quietly ask the hairpin next to her: "Where are we going and what are we doing?"

Hairpin Hua pursed her lips and said with a smile, "You'll know when we get there."

Zicuckoo looked at Hairpin Hua and seemed to understand, but she still couldn't figure it out. She felt a little unhappy in her heart and said to Hairpin Hua, "You just don't know. Why do you say this to make it look like you know everything?"

Hairpin Hua saw that Zijuan was jealous of her, so she smiled and came up to hold Zijuan's hand and said, "I don't know what your Majesty is going to do. I'm just following your orders. Your Majesty will tell us when the time comes."

"I just came here and could only look at the look on my face. Sister Zijuan, if there is anything wrong with me, you must tell me. Just don't tell the queen first because you love me."

Zicuckoo was originally a straight person. When she saw that Hairpin was weak, she dropped her hand and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I will definitely help you with this little thing in the future."

Outside the low wall, Ren Yuhuan got off the sedan and asked Hairpin Hua and Zicuckoo to accompany him, while the others dispersed.

After walking into the low wall, the surroundings were quiet, the lush leaves pressed down, and the world seemed to be shrouded in a green cage.

Hairpin Hua guessed that Ren Yuhuan wanted to climb over the low wall to go to Mei Fei's old house at the back, so that he could go through the underground secret passage of the old house and get to the bottom of the royal study.

Shen Yanzhi must be in the secret passage at this moment.

But because Zicuckoo said that, Hairpin Hua stopped showing up and just followed Ren Yuhuan. As expected, Ren Yuhuan arrived at the old house.

Hairpin Hua had only heard about this place from Concubine Li, but this was her first time here. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a simple hut, almost like a house belonging to someone in the village.

Concubine Mei once lived here with the late emperor, and it really felt like a retreat from the world.

Ren Yuhuan had been here before, so he didn't look too much. He took the time to enter the room, found the mechanism under the bed board, and opened the secret passage.

Zicuckoo immediately said to Ren Yuhuan: "Empress, I'll jump down first and catch you below."

Ren Yuhuan nodded. After Zicuckoo went down, she half-crouched. Ren Yuhuan supported her back and went down to the secret passage.

Hairpin Flower took out a fire stick and lit the passage of the secret passage. The secret passage was as high as one person and as wide as two people walking side by side. The passage was dry and clean, and it was easy to walk as long as there was firelight.

Hairpin Hua led the way in front with a fire folding piece, and Zicuckoo followed behind. Ren Yuhuan thought about each other's positions in his mind and guided the direction.

Ren Yuhuan had been to the secret passage before, so he was not afraid. He was just worried that he would get lost in it. By then, he would have wasted time and Shen Yanzhi had already gone out.

Fortunately, Ren Yuhuan was lucky this time, and the route he told was accurate, and he happened to find the secret passage leading to the imperial study.

When Hairpin Hua heard the noise, she immediately stopped and turned to gesture to Ren Yuhuan and Zijuan.

Ren Yuhuan nodded, walked around Hairpin Hua and walked forward quietly against the wall of the secret passage.

There was a faint light in front, and a figure shook, as if someone had moved. Shen Yanzhi's words were heard from inside: "It's useless if you don't speak."

Ren Yuhuan crouched down and listened, worried in his heart whether his heartbeat would be heard if it was beating too fast.

"Don't you care about your child?"

child?

Whose child?

A woman's voice was heard saying in a cold and disdainful voice: "Why is Your Majesty so hypocritical?"

De imperial concubine!

Ren Yuhuan supported the wall and wanted to go forward to take a look, but was blocked by Hairpin Hua.

There was a flash of light and shadow on the wall, as if Shen Yanzhi had left.

When there was no movement inside, Ren Yuhuan boldly stood up and walked over.

Inside was a sunken room with an iron grating on the door and a lock hanging on it.

Shen Yanzhi locked Concubine De in the secret passage under the imperial study!

Ren Yuhuan walked over and stood outside the iron gate staring inside.

The concubine does not dress up. A waterfall of black hair hangs down on his chest.

Her expression was very silent, and she turned to look at the door, but her pupils were also dilated.

"Haha, you're here?"

Concubine De looked indifferent. She glanced at Ren Yuhuan and then turned her head to look this way. She sat still with a provocative look.

"You wonder why I'm here?"

"What did your Majesty tell you about me?"

Ren Yuhuan also had cold eyes: "His Majesty told me that you committed suicide out of fear of crime, and he told Shen Hebei the same way."

Concubine De's eyes shrank, and Ren Yuhuan could see that her hand was unconsciously covering her stomach despite her expression showing no obvious emotional fluctuations.

"Shen Hebei's child?"

Concubine De smiled coldly and deliberately touched her belly with her hand: "If it is Shen Hebei's child, will Your Majesty let me go?"

Ren Yuhuan also sneered and tore apart her lie.

"Even Princess Yaoyue went out to avoid it, and still went with the Queen Mother."

"If you are really pregnant with His Majesty's dragon seed, will the Queen Mother leave you alone? You are His Majesty's concubine. Since you are pregnant, what reason does Your Majesty have to lock you up?"

Concubine De pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Ren Yuhuan sneered and said: "Shen Hebei has followed his wife Qinglian to live in seclusion in the mountains. You will never see him again in this life."

This sentence seemed to hit Concubine De's heart. She got up angrily and pointed at Ren Yuhuan: "Huh! Your Majesty obviously didn't tell me that he was still alive, right? You found it yourself, how do you feel in your heart at this moment?"

Ren Yuhuan understood the reason why Concubine De was targeting her in this way, so he did not share her common understanding and asked, "Don't you want Shen Hebei to know that you have his child?"

Concubine De was silent.

Ren Yuhuan continued: "I can help you tell Shen Hebei, but I think you should not have too much hope."

Concubine De stared at Ren Yuhuan: "Are you so kind?"
