At this time in the palace, Yi Dan was over. Concubine De helped her to her bedroom.

Yi Dan was lying on the bed, and Concubine De checked her body and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"Why did you save me?" Yi Dan said as he lay on the bed.

Concubine De wrapped the herbs with a white cloth and a large piece of ice that the maid hurriedly brought in from outside the door, put Yi Dan on her buttocks, and said, "I'll give you some cold compresses first, so it won't be too swollen tomorrow."

"Ahh What's it?, why is it so cold?" Yi Dan exclaimed, feeling the chill of the ice.

"It's ice"

"Where did you get the ice on such a hot day?" Yi Dan asked, turning his head in surprise.

"Last winter, the ice cubes taken by the palace ladies were stored in a special cellar, which was specially used for the emperor and concubines in the summer. Don't move, I'll put it on for you," Concubine De replied.

"You're really going to enjoy it, no wonder so many people want to be emperors. Enslaving people like this and living a comfortable life, are you really so at ease?" Yi Dan blurted out in questioning words.

"What's this, it's just a few pieces of ice. Don't talk about it yet, come, don't move, let me put it on for you first," Concubine De said.

Yi Dan pushed Concubine De's hand away and said, "No need, I can't enjoy such treatment, I will lose my life."

"If you don't apply a cold compress, what if it swells tomorrow?

"No, it won't. With your care, they didn't hit me hard at all. I'm asking you, why do you want to tell me and save me?Which side are you on?Why don't you let that faint king kill me?" Yi Dan asked.

"Why do you want to die? We are all poor lives, and even if we die, no one will know about us and cherish us. We have to cherish ourselves," Concubine De said.

"Doesn't the Dog Emperor love you very much?" Yi Dan said disdainfully.

"That's right, the emperor does love me very much, but there are also many concubines in the harem, and I have to work hard to get a little favor. But fortunately, my weight in his heart is not light, so he was able to agree to my request and spare you from death," Concubine De said.

"So, then I have to thank you for your great kindness," Yi Dan said coldly.

"Xi'er, no matter what, if you listen to me, you have to live well, okay?"

"Like you, greedy for life and afraid of death, living in secret?" Yi Dan sarcastically said.

"Yes, I am indeed greedy for life and afraid of death, and I am indeed stealing my life. But what can I do? It's useless to be impulsive. Xi'er, listen to me, give up, don't do this again," Concubine De said.

"You still dare to say that if you hadn't told me today, I might have succeeded, why did you go to the whistleblower?

"Do you think it's so easy to kill the emperor? His palace has hidden these masters to protect him at all times, if I hadn't told him in advance, let his subordinates show mercy. I'm afraid that when I catch you, I'll put you to death," Concubine De explained.

"In short, I don't admit defeat, and if there is still a chance, I will still not change my original intention," Yi Dan said.

At this time, a boy about ten years old ran over and took Concubine De's hand and shouted, "Mother, Mother Princess, come and play with me to play with lanterns."

"Child, today's Midyear Festival, don't run around, go back to sleep" After that, he instructed the palace maid next to him: "Qiu'e, take the prince back to rest, don't run around" Qiu'e hurriedly agreed, the child was carrying a lantern and was helplessly taken away by the palace maid.

"Is this your child?" Yi Dan asked.

"En," Concubine De nodded.

"I see, if you're not ten years old, you're eight years old, you..."

"That's right, when Zhu Youqi raped me and then dedicated it to Zhu Wen, I was forced to go back and forth between their father and son, and I had this child at the age of thirteen, but I didn't know who his father was," Concubine De complained to Yi Dan.

"Then does Zhu Youzhen know about this?" Yi Dan asked.

"Of course I know, later the emperor killed Zhu Youqi and married me into the harem as Zhang Guiba's daughter. He loved me in every way, and he treated this child as his own, how can I not be grateful?" said Concubine De.

"All of this was caused by their Zhu family's father and son, you don't want to take revenge but are grateful to him, I really don't know what you think in your heart? Sister Zihan, I don't understand why you are so cowardly?" Yi Dan asked aggressively.

"No matter what you think, I just want to guard this child now and live a peaceful life. I don't want to live the life of fear in the past," Concubine De said.

"That child just now, it's just what you want, but why do you want to give birth to a child for Zhu Youzhen? Are you so worthy of your biological father, You Bailin Daxia, the spirit of the sky?" Yi Dan changed his words and asked scoldly.

"Actually... I'm not pregnant. I deliberately deceived the emperor just now," Concubine De explained.

"What? Why did you do this?" asked Yi Dan.

"In the royal family, mothers are more expensive than children, that's all I can say. in order to save your life, this is the sin of deception, but it is also a helpless thing. It's a big deal that I'll make a game and pretend to have a miscarriage when the time comes. Anyway, there are a lot of such things in the harem, and all the concubines want others to have miscarriages and fall out of favor, so they shouldn't be pursuing anything," Concubine De said.

When Yi Dan heard this, he said with feeling: "Hey, I really don't know you, what kind of person are you?"

"I just want to live a peaceful life, forget the hatred, forget the past. Guarding the emperor slowly guides him and changes him. Let him give up killing and set an example for all the people in the world, this can be regarded as a kind of salvation, do you understand, Xi'er?" said Concubine De.

Yi Dan saw that You Zihan was also kind, but he couldn't help himself. So he persuaded him: "Sister Zihan, don't have illusions about him, he is not worthy of you to do this for him at all, you better go with me, let's wander the rivers and lakes together, and there is also a free body, with him, there will be no good results, okay?"

"I won't go with you, Xi'er, this is my home. I believe that I will definitely be able to change the emperor, I have the means and ability, don't worry."

Hearing this, Yi Dan's eyes widened and asked, "Have you fallen in love with that Zhu Youzhen?" Sister Zihan, how can you like the son of the enemy who killed his father? How can you be worthy of the Ranger who is in the spirit of the sky?"

Concubine De sighed and said, "Hey, there is no right or wrong in love, there is no right or wrong. No matter what, I try to do everything for him, hoping that one day he will understand my hard work and be a good emperor who will be loved by the people of the world."

"Sister Zihan, why are you so bothered? He won't listen to you at all. Yi Dan understood You Zihan's thoughts, so he said helplessly.

"I have no second way to go, I can only try my best to change the emperor, I hope to use my sincerity, move him, melt him, I don't expect him to be able to become, Tang Taizong like the ancient monarch, but at least don't be mediocre, just harm the country and mislead the people," Concubine De said.

"You're whimsical. It's easy to make a tiger kill, but it's hard to make a wolf a vegetarian. Yi Dan said.

"Tang Taizong Li Shimin, didn't he also kill his own brother and ascend to the throne of God? But didn't he also become a generation of Ming Jun? I think if I try hard?"

"The three of them, father and son, are all ferocious jackals, what do you think the world has become by them? How can it be compared with the wise and wise Tang Taizong?" Yi Dan asked.

"Believe it or not, I'm going to try to do it anyway. Xi'er, please believe me, I take advantage of my youth and beauty now, and there is still a lot of time to change the emperor. Okay, let's not talk about it, you better leave the palace quickly, if the emperor asks the imperial doctor for the truth after a while, and repents, it will be bad."

"Unexpectedly, this time it fell short and returned in vain. I don't know when I'll be able to come next time," Yi Dan said to himself.

"Are you still thinking about next time? This time you will almost lose your life, listen to me, live well when you go out, and don't think about revenge anymore, okay?"

Here, Concubine De was chatting with Yi Dan in the palace. Over there, Emperor Zhu Youzhen went to the palace of another concubine and was drinking and having fun. At this time, the imperial doctor came over with a medical box, bowed and asked, "Your Majesty, it's time for Weichen to ask for peace for the emperor today."

"No need, my liver is too hot today, and the pulse you diagnose is not accurate. Concubine De is pregnant, you should go to Deyu Palace and check Concubine De's pulse," Zhu Youzhen said while drinking.

"Your Majesty, Weichen just checked Concubine De's pulse in the afternoon, and I didn't see any signs of pregnancy, is it the emperor's mistake, is it the mother of another palace?" said the imperial doctor.

Zhu Youzhen put down the wine glass and asked in surprise, "What? You said Concubine De, she is not pregnant at all?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, how dare Wei Chen deceive such a big thing as the concubine's pregnancy? If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can call a few more imperial doctors to come over, and let us recheck the pulse for the mother again," the imperial doctor said.

Zhu Youzhen had a disappointed expression on his face, and said, "No need" and then said to the little eunuch beside him: "Pass the decree, immediately set up the Deyu Palace"

Concubine De and Yi Dan were chatting in the palace, and suddenly a maid came to report: "Niangniang, the slave maid saw that the emperor was coming towards Deyu Palace under the escort of many palace guards, sitting on a dragon bowl, please make preparations for the car as soon as possible."

When Concubine De heard this, Yi Dan said in shock: "It's not good, I'm afraid that the emperor knows about my fake pregnancy, you leave the palace immediately, otherwise the emperor will not spare you."

"I'm leaving, what should you do, will the faint monarch punish you?" Yi Dan asked in a panic and worry.

"I've been with him for so many years, there shouldn't be anything, it's just a big deal to snub me for a while. You hurry up, if you don't leave, it's too late, I'll send you away now" With that, Concubine De took Yi Dan to the door.

The guard guarding the door asked, "Concubine De Niangniang, is the prisoner's injury cured?

Yi Dan took advantage of the guard's speech to quietly come behind him and slapped him on the back. The guard was knocked two feet away, knocked into a pillar and fainted. Concubine De took Yi Dan into a Mahayana and quickly rushed towards the palace gate.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen's dragon came to the gate of Deyu Palace, and there was no figure of Concubine De, so he hurriedly asked the palace maid, "Where did Concubine De go?"

"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids don't know," the palace maid said.

At this time, one of the guards saw the guard who had fainted to the ground, so he went over and touched his nose and said, "I fainted, Your Majesty, Weichen deduced that the assassin must have fled."

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and chase me," Zhu Youzhen ordered.

At this time, Concubine De's Mahayana came to the gate of the palace. At this time, it was late at night, and the palace gate was closed. A group of guarded officers and soldiers were standing at the door, guarding the gate tightly. Seeing Concubine De's ride coming, a guard hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "May I ask which palace is the ride, please stop and check"

Stopped, Concubine De lifted the curtain and said, "It's the main palace."

The guard hurriedly bent down and bowed: "It turned out to be Concubine De Niangniang, I don't know what happened to Concubine De Niangniang leaving the palace so late?"

"There is an urgent matter in the palace to go out, please open the door for the palace," Concubine De said.

"Niangniang, the city gate is closed at such a late hour, and if it is not for the emperor's will, the little ones will not be able to open the door," the guard explained.

"The palace said that there was an emergency, and it was too late to inform the emperor, do you even have to block the road to the palace?" Seeing that the situation was urgent, Concubine De hurriedly reprimanded.

"But this is the rule of the palace, Wechen doesn't dare to disobey, unless Niangniang has the emperor's hand, otherwise Wechen doesn't dare to be good at advocating"

"You just open the door, if there is any problem, this palace will take care of it," Concubine De ordered.

Seeing that the guard was a little embarrassed, Concubine De continued: "This palace is the emperor's favorite person, don't you even buy the account of this palace? If you offend this palace, I am afraid that in the future, let alone look at the gate of the palace here, even the door of the prison may not be your turn."

When the guard heard Concubine De's words, he immediately said in fear: "Please calm your anger, and Weichen will open the door for Niangniang."

With that, the guard commanded several soldiers to open the palace gates. The eunuchs carried the chariot and walked in the direction of the outside of the palace. Concubine De also kept urging: "Hurry up, you guys go faster" At this time, Yi Dan, who was sitting in the ride, was also anxious, as if he was racing against the world, worrying about his heart.

Just as he was passing through the narrow gate of the castle tower, he heard a guard shouting not far from the city: "Stop the ride quickly, don't leave"

Concubine De turned her head and saw a team of Praetorian Guards hurrying over, so she said to the eunuchs who were carrying the horses: "Hurry, go quickly, listen to the palace, don't stop"

The eunuchs had no choice but to carry the ride and continue to walk towards the gate outside the palace.

At this time, the commander of the Praetorian Guard behind him shouted loudly: "The emperor has an order, stop the ride immediately, otherwise it will be punished according to the decree of resistance."

When the guards in the city heard this, they immediately led the soldiers forward and surrounded Concubine De's ride. After listening to the order, the guards outside the palace gate also came in through the exit and surrounded the passengers.

Concubine De and Yi Dan sat in the ride, holding each other's hands tightly, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen's rider also followed behind the Praetorian Guards.

Yi Dan whispered to Concubine De in the ride, "What should I do?" I didn't expect to hurt you, I'm really sorry, Sister Zihan."

Concubine De thought for a while and said, "Why don't you pretend to hold me hostage, anyway, it's at the gate, if you work harder, just rush out."

"Is this going to work? I'm afraid they'll hurt you by mistake," Yi Dan said.

Concubine De plucked a hairpin from her head and handed it to Yi Dan, and then said: "Now it's just the only way, we can only give it a try, don't care so much, listen to me"

Yi Dan looked back at Zhu Youzhen's dragon approaching step by step, and she knew in her heart that she was not afraid of running out of firewood while keeping the green mountains. So he grabbed the hairpin and said, "Okay, then it's offended, Sister Zihan"

Yi Dan held Concubine De hostage with a hairpin, stepped down and shouted: "Don't move, I'll kill her if I come again"

At this time, Zhu Youzhen shouted: "Quick, hurry up and catch this assassin for me"

The soldiers rushed forward one after another, and Concubine De shouted: "Your Majesty, the emperor's concubine really regrets saving her, she will take revenge, please save the emperor's concubine, the concubine still has your little prince in her belly."

At this time, Zhu Youzhen walked off the dragon bowl, and under the escort of the Praetorian Guard, she said to Concubine De angrily: "Don't think that I don't know that you and her teamed up to play this play for me to see, if you force me like this again, be careful that I kill you together."

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that a concubine, a smile can captivate the city? Have you forgotten what you said? Your Majesty, we went through so many hardships to be together, don't you miss the old love?" Concubine De asked again and again.

Zhu Youzhen said to the guards beside him: "Quick, send troops out from another gate, and surround this place inside and outside for me."

Concubine De saw that Zhu Youzhen was talking to the head of the guards, as if she understood what Zhu Youzhen was going to do, so she whispered to Yi Dan: "Quick, pull me out, otherwise the emperor will send someone to block it from other doors, and it will be difficult to fly when the time comes."

Yi Dan had no choice but to pull Concubine De and walk out slowly. The guards were afraid of injuring Concubine De by mistake, so they could only retreat step by step.

Concubine De retreated towards the palace, and shouted at Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, we have experienced so much together, do you really not care about the life and death of your concubines?

Talking, talking, Yi Dan and Concubine De had already retreated to the entrance of the palace gate. At this point, one of the guards shouted, "Don't let the Assassin escape"

After Zhu Youzhen was reminded, she shouted loudly: "Quick, I will not let the assassin run away, otherwise I will ask for your head."

At this time, Concubine De saw that she had come to the exit of the palace gate, so she said to Yi Dan: "Xi'er, hurry, you can go quickly."

"What about you?" Yi Dan asked.

"Leave me alone, I'm fine, you can go by yourself," Concubine De said anxiously.

"Okay, Sister Zihan, I still want to thank you for your help, you must take care of yourself!

With that, Yi Dan pushed away the soldiers in front of him with a palm. With a light kick, he flew out of the gate and disappeared into the night.

Zhu Youzhen shouted: "Send someone to chase after me, you must arrest the assassin back, whether you live or die" After everyone received the order, they chased after the palace in the dark night.

Zhu Youzhen walked up to Concubine De, slapped her in the face, and scolded: "Slut, I can't support you for so many years, and my heart is still towards outsiders."

Concubine De knelt on the ground, hugged Zhu Youzhen's calf and said, "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to spare her."

"She wants to kill me, and you want me to spare her? Do you want to see me killed before you are satisfied?" Zhu Youzhen said viciously.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to spend her life to atone for Xi'er. The concubines can make cows and horses for the emperor, please let the emperor let her go," Concubine De cried and begged.

"It's this sentence again, who is rare for you to be a cow and a horse? Why don't you go with her? What are you still doing here?" Zhu Youzhen reprimanded.

"Everything about the concubines belongs to the emperor, and the concubines don't want to leave the emperor, so please ask the emperor to be merciful," Concubine De cried.

"Don't use these rhetoric to deceive me, do you want to follow her example and stay here to assassinate me?" Zhu Youzhen said suspiciously.

"The concubines have the courage to do so, and they don't dare, the emperor is the heaven of the concubines, and everything about the concubines is the emperor, please calm the emperor's anger."

"You are so deceitful, I don't think you dare to do anything," Zhu Youzhen reprimanded.

"Please forgive the emperor! Your Majesty, the concubines have served the emperor wholeheartedly for many years, please ask the emperor to follow the concubines this time, right?" After saying that, Concubine De raised her head and threw it at Zhu Youzhen with a charming smile.

"Hmph, it's a pity if it weren't for your pretty face. I've already disposed of you."

"Everything about the concubines belongs to the emperor, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and the concubines will always serve the emperor in this life and this life," Concubine De said coquettishly.

"Why don't you go back to shower and change clothes, I'm going to get it back on you tonight" Zhu Youzhen looked at Concubine De's beautiful face and said evilly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty! The concubines will go back to bathe and change their clothes and wait for the Emperor."

Zhu Youzhen stepped on the dragon belt and said to the leader of the guards beside him, "Hurry up and send more people, and be sure to catch the assassin." Otherwise take you and ask"

"Wechen obeys the order"

After Concubine De knelt down to see Zhu Youzhen leave, she stood up and looked outside the palace gate, clasped her hands together and muttered silently: "Xi'er, run away, run away." Don't be caught up, don't come to Kaifeng again..."

At this time, the two palace doors slowly closed, and Concubine You Zihan continued to be locked in this palace that she thought was heaven and a tomb.
