The Fourteenth Prince was speechless and just looked at her, seeming to be crying and laughing at the same time.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ranli raised his hand and hit his shoulder, just like when he was a teenager, "Fourteenth Master, you are not handsome at all when you cry and laugh like this."
Hearing the familiar teasing, Fourteenth Prince frowned even more. No one knew how long he had been waiting for her teasing.
Just as she was about to say something, Nanny Zhao, who was beside Concubine De, heard the voice and came out. Seeing the Fourteenth Prince, she hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
"Good luck to Fourteenth Master. You are finally here. The Empress Dowager has been waiting for you for a long time."
Nanny Zhao did not recognize Jiang Ranli. Seeing her walking with the Fourteenth Prince, she said, "Just wait outside. The masters will call you if there is anything."
The Fourteenth Prince stopped and turned around to look at Jiang Ranli, "She is my person, let her come in with you."
With what the Fourteenth Prince said, Nanny Zhao had nothing to say, so Jiang Ranli finally met Concubine De.
Concubine De is not in good condition now. Because of her illness, she looks listless and has become much thinner than before.
"Fourteenth Prince, when did you change the person around you?" Defei asked with a little caution when she saw Jiang Ranli following behind Fourteenth Prince.
Although it was her son who sat on the throne now, there were still crises everywhere in the palace. When Concubine De saw that a strange eunuch was following the Fourteenth Prince, she couldn't help but feel worried.
The Fourteenth Prince dismissed everyone in the palace and left only Madam Zhao to serve Concubine De.
"Li'er, why don't you let your mother see you? She has been worried about you all this time," the Fourteenth Prince said to Jiang Ranli.
Hearing his words, Concubine De and Nanny Zhao were surprised and looked at Jiang Ranli, who was dressed as a eunuch, in disbelief.
"Empress De, oh, no, Empress Dowager, may you be blessed." Jiang Ranli walked to Concubine De, took off his hat and saluted her.
Seeing that it was really her, Defei's hands trembled slightly, and her usually elegant eyes were full of heartache, "Child, how did you get out? Are you okay?"
Because she had always lived in the palace and because of the Fourteenth Prince, Defei knew that Jiang Ranli was imprisoned in the Yangxin Palace by Yinzhen. She had tried to find a way several times, but Yinzhen issued a death order, not allowing anyone to enter or leave the Yangxin Palace, so she had never succeeded.
If you talk about it carefully, it's not that no one has ever entered the Yangxin Palace, which was like an iron barrel. However, after Concubine Nian came out of there, she gave birth prematurely for some reason, and the child died within a few days. Others did not know the reason, but Concubine De, who had been in the palace all her life, knew the reason.
Jiang Ranli answered Concubine De's question, and when she talked about the death of Concubine Nian's child, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"He is so cruel now that he can even harm his own child." The Fourteenth Prince frowned and looked at Jiang Ranli with worry in his eyes.
Defei sighed repeatedly. Although she didn't care much about Yinzhen, she was his mother after all. Seeing him ascend the throne and become emperor, although it was not what she wanted, she did not feel unhappy. But when she thought about what he had done recently, she couldn't help but worry.
"Mother, you must help Li'er," the Fourteenth Prince was extremely worried. He didn't want Jiang Ranli to stay in this palace any longer for even a single minute.
Defei nodded, holding Jiang Ranli with both hands, her eyes full of love, "I will give you a token later and let Fourteen take you out of the palace. Child, don't come back once you leave the palace."
