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

Chapter 42 Shen Hebei’s trade-off
  Ren Yuhuan frowned, bowed his head and said thanks, "Yes, thank you, Madam."

"Eat more. With your small body, if you can't get pregnant soon, you won't have to eat anything in the future!"

Ren Yuhuan reluctantly swallowed the food while listening to Ren Qianyu's threats.

Because I ate too much, I vomited under the tree except for the door.

Ren Qianyu cannot move around casually, and Ren Yuhuan is also imprisoned in Yikun Palace.

"You just stay well in the palace and take good care of yourself. What are you going to do when you go out?"

"My dear, if you eat and exercise at the same time, you can maintain a good body. This is what the imperial doctor told me. If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the imperial doctor."

Ren Qianyu couldn't help but said to a confidant maid: "Then you follow her. If she dares to walk around casually, break her legs and drag her back!"

Ren Yuhuan had no choice but to follow the palace maid out.

The palace maid stayed by her side with a straight face and arrogance all the way, very reluctantly.

"Sister Yuhan, look at how beautiful the flowers are after the rain."

Ren Yuhuan tried hard to please Yuhan, but Yuhan adhered to his master's will and only had disgust and impatience towards Ren Yuhuan.

Ren Yuhuan also murmured in his heart that he had to find a way to get rid of her.

So she led the way to the imperial garden, where she often came and was very familiar with it.

Hosta followed him all the way without saying a word.

Suddenly, he heard a burst of chatter and laughter in front of him, and Ren Yuhuan heard the sound of a cat meowing among them.

He immediately took steps towards that direction.

Yuhan grabbed Ren Yuhuan's arm: "What are you doing?"

"Go over there. There are many beautiful and precious flowers from the Western Regions!"

Hosta heard the meowing of cats getting closer and closer to her ears, and looked a little panicked: "Don't go there, there are cats over there, and I hate cats."

Hearing this, Ren Yuhuan turned his eyes and said, "Sister Yuhan hates cats? Then let me go and see if there are any cats over there?"

With that said, he shook off Hosta's hand and ran forward.

Surrounded by several palace servants and maidens, Concubine Shu's Chestnut was catching bugs among the flowers.

Concubine Shu, Concubine Li, and a new talent were sitting in front of the stone table, talking and laughing.

I remember that the new talent was the daughter of Liu Shangshu. I heard that she was proficient in poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Ren Yuhuan glanced over and found that Liu Cairen's appearance could only be regarded as beautiful, but she had an elegant temperament, which slightly gave her a special temperament.

Concubine Shu saw Ren Yuhuan and immediately waved to her: "Oh, is the concubine here too?"

Ren Yuhuan immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Salute to Concubine Shu, Concubine Li, and Liu Cairen. Concubine Concubine is raising her baby at home. She said the road was slippery after the rain, so she never left the palace."

Concubine Shu waved Ren Yuhuan up to the pavilion: "This child is smart and I have always liked him."

When Ren Yuhuan went up the stairs, he saw Hosta following him. When he saw her and Concubine Shu together, he immediately turned around and went back to report.

Ren Yuhuan felt secretly happy and walked up to the pavilion.

"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am."

Libi pursed her lips and smiled without saying much.

Concubine Shu grabbed a handful of fruits and gave them to Ren Yuhuan, then said with a smile: "Concubine, I am very cautious about this first-born child. This one has never left the Yikun Palace since it spoiled the child."

Li Bin heard this and said, "I guess I'm used to being cautious."

Concubine Shu twitched the corners of her mouth, lowered her head and smiled silently.

Seeing this, Liu Cairen had no choice but to say: "When my mother was pregnant with my younger brother, she also felt uncomfortable, couldn't eat, and couldn't stay in bed. Could it be that the imperial concubine is the same as my mother?"

Ren Yuhuan heard this and knew that Concubine Shu wanted to find out the details from her in order to find a flaw.

But she pretended to smile innocently and said: "Liu Cairen is right, the imperial concubine is exactly like this." After joking for a while, Concubine Shu didn't answer anything, so she ignored Ren Yuhuan.

Ren Yuhuan immediately seized the opportunity and retreated.

The hosta never came back, so she immediately took a detour to the west city gate palace wall.

Shen Hebei was sitting in a sedan chair waiting for Ren Yuhuan's arrival.

He holds a secret letter in his hand, which contains the number of times Shen Yanzhi has remade various palaces.

Such secrets in the palace are not well hidden. As long as there are ears and eyes in the chamberlain's palace, they can easily copy them.

The other palaces are only for concubines Shu and concubines Li, and their total number is not as large as that of Yikun Palace.

Shen Yanzhi spent almost all of his stay in Yikun Palace.

This means that the marriage proposal test yesterday was indeed correct. The person Shen Yanzhi cares about is not the imperial concubine Ren Qianyu, but Ren Yuhuan!
  Shen Hebei stared at Yikun Palace for many times, frowning and thinking, tapping his slender fingers lightly on his knees, as if he was unable to pay attention.

The subordinate sitting next to him asked: "Your Majesty, is there any problem with this?"

Shen Hebei shook his head: "No."

The subordinate then said: "Since we already know that the person serving His Majesty is Ren Yuhuan, and Ren Yuhuan has a mother in the hands of the prince, as long as she is given an order, what can't she do?"

Shen Hebei's brows furrowed deeper and the hand that hit his knee clenched into a fist.

"Of course that's the case, but if I do this, wouldn't I be like the imperial concubine, manipulating her and her mother's life?"

But the subordinate said flatly: "It's just a chess piece, but it is already her honor to be used by the prince. Besides, didn't the prince save her mother? Aren't these the rewards she should ask for?"

Shen Hebei didn't want to hear any more, so he opened the sedan curtain with a fan: "Are you here?"

The men in front of the sedan cupped their hands and said, "Your Majesty, you haven't arrived yet."

The subordinate in the sedan said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Ren Qianyu is pregnant. Is this true or not? Do you want to ask?"

"Your Majesty?"

The hesitation in Shen Hebei's heart disappeared. When he saw Ren Yuhuan running over, he knew in his heart that this opportunity could not be missed.

So he didn't get off the sedan and said to his men: "Bring her up."

Ren Yuhuan ran to the palace wall and saw Shen Hebei missing, only two of his men.

The two men stood around and said to her: "Your Majesty, please invite the girl to talk on the sedan chair."

Ren Yuhuan saw a brown horse head peeking out of the half-open palace wall door and knew it was Shen Hebei's carriage.

"Leaving the palace? I am a palace maid. If I leave the palace without authorization——"

The two men approached Ren Yuhuan and said calmly: "Please get into the sedan, girl."

Ren Yuhuan was forced to step out of the palace gate.

Shen Hebei kindly raised his hand to open the sedan curtain and said with a gentle smile: "I'm sorry, there are some things I don't want others to hear."

Ren Yuhuan saw Shen Hebei's two men following her, looking on guard, so she had no choice but to climb onto the sedan.

Shen Hebei reached out to pull Ren Yuhuan, but Ren Yuhuan lay on the carriage with both hands and climbed up on his own.

Shen Hebei sighed silently and took back his hand.

Ren Yuhuan sat down and looked into the sedan chair.

One side of the sedan faced some books, and there was a letter pressed among the pages.

On the other side is an incense burner, burning incense with vegetation.

The two of them sat opposite each other, with nowhere to escape.

Ren Yuhuan immediately rushed to ask: "The prince has something to ask the slave to do?"
