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

Chapter 229 Protecting Ren Qianyu
The old grandma had no choice but to yell and go out.

Ren Qianyu let Hongxiu drag her under the table and watched Hongxiu put on Ren Qianyu's clothes and sit on the bed.

Ren Qianyu knew that she couldn't make a sound at this moment, so she could only put her fist in her mouth and endure the pain.

Soon, a dark figure flashed in through the window, its movements falling to the ground lightly and silently.

The man stretched out his hand directly towards Hong Xiu, who was lying motionless on the bed. There was a flash of silver light, and Ren Qianyu clearly saw a silver needle stuck in the middle of the man's finger!
Ren Qianyu didn't expect that this would really happen. She was so scared that she almost didn't dare to breathe. She even forgot about the pain for a while.

Hong Xiu, who was lying on the bed, kicked the man's hand away.

The man turned over and stood in the hall. Instead of dealing with Hongxiu, he turned to search the room.

Ren Qianyu hid under the table, not daring to move or express her anger.

The man's eyes fell under the table and he was about to rush over.

Ren Qianyu screamed as she saw the stool covering her being kicked away.

She had never looked so embarrassed before. Ren Qianyu crawled towards the outside of the table on her hands and feet.

Hongxiu flew out a short knife from her front sleeve, pointed it at the man's face, and greeted him.

The man dodged away, only wanting to kill Ren Qianyu.

Ren Qianyu walked around the table and ran towards the door, shouting for help. It happened that the old lady came with the guard to make sure. When the guard saw a masked man in black following Ren Qianyu, he immediately pulled out a long knife and shouted: "What? people?"

The masked man in black knew he had no choice but to fly out the poisonous needle, hoping to kill Ren Qianyu.

Unexpectedly, Hongxiu had already predicted this and rushed over to push Ren Qianyu to the ground.

The poisonous needle pierced the old woman's head without any bias.

Following the shouts of the guards, the masked man flew out of the cold palace, and the old nanny died at the door with a blue complexion.

Ren Qianyu wrapped her coat and fell to the ground, staring at the old grandma's blue face and trembling.

Shen Yanzhi is indeed here!
"what happened?"

After hearing Hong Xiu's reply, Shen Yanzhi asked Dr. Hu to examine Ren Qianyu's body.

Ren Qianyu was carried out of the cold palace in this way.

This was something she had never imagined, that she would be able to get out of the cold palace in this life.

Living in the ward of the Imperial Pharmacy, Ren Qianyu was guarded every day, so she was considered safe.

Shen Yanzhi waited until Ren Qianyu got better before coming to see her.

Ren Qianyu looked at Shen Yanzhi sitting in the chair, and there was indeed no tenderness on his face.

Thinking of the old grandma's frightened face, she no longer had the interest to seduce Shen Yanzhi to change her mind.

"You were poisoned, and now you have taken out the poison."

Shen Yanzhi said.

Ren Qianyu nodded without saying a word, looking weak and pale.

"Do you know who wants to kill you?"

Ren Qianyu shook his head.

"You really don't know?"

Ren Qianyu didn't answer.

Shen Yanzhi took out Ren Qianyu's letter and unfolded it for her to read: "Are you spying on Concubine Shu?"

Ren Qianyu raised her eyelids and looked at the letter. Sure enough, it was written by herself, and she recognized her own handwriting.

"Yes."

"why?"

Ren Qianyu didn't answer.

Shen Yanzhi prompted: "I saw Hongxiu next to you. She is Ren Yuhuan's personal maid. Isn't this a coincidence?"

Ren Qianyu was originally hesitant to mention Ren Yuhuan, but now it seems she can only say it.

"Ren Yuhuan sent me to protect me."

Shen Yanzhi nodded immediately: "Why should I protect you?"

Ren Qianyu pointed to the letter and said, "Because I gave her this letter."

After all, Shen Yanzhi trusted Ren Yuhuan, and Ren Qianyu's answer also reassured Shen Yanzhi. "You mean Concubine Shu wants to kill you?"

Ren Qianyu shook her head: "It's the people behind Concubine Shu who want to kill me. Actually..."

"Say it, I forgive you."

Ren Qianyu lowered her head and said: "That person also found me and asked me to pretend to be stupid and crazy. He said that this would allow me to leave the cold palace."

"I don't know who that person was, but one day a guard came to contact me and told me."

Ren Qianyu raised her head and looked into Shen Yanzhi's eyes, letting him know that he was not lying.

Shen Yanzhi nodded: "Okay, I understand. You can recover."

Seeing Shen Yanzhi getting up, Ren Qianyu couldn't help but said: "I don't want to go back to the cold palace, Your Majesty..."

"You don't have to go back yet."

After saying that, Shen Yanzhi left.

Half a day later, Ren Yuhuan came to visit Ren Qianyu in person.

"The old grandma who has always taken care of me is dead."

Ren Yuhuan nodded and said, "I heard, it was an accident."

Ren Qianyu took a deep breath and said: "What should I do in the future? If I go back to that cold palace again, I will die!"

Ren Yuhuan nodded: "Actually, it doesn't matter you or me, if we don't find the mastermind one day, we will all die."

Ren Qianyu started to cry, covering her face with her hands and crying: "Things should not have developed like this. It was only because of my listening to your words that I ended up in this situation!"

Ren Yuhuan smiled lightly and said, "Sister, you are always on the opposite side of me. Does this make you feel at ease?"

"I did this because I didn't want to do anything to you again. Are you blaming me now, sister?"

"Will the person behind the scenes really let you go?"

Ren Qianyu raised her cold eyes and looked at Ren Yuhuan: "I'm tired, I'm really tired, can you let me go?"

"I know I did something wrong before and I shouldn't have treated you like that, but you won't want me to die, right?"

Want you to die?
Ren Yuhuan snorted in his heart.

"Sister, ask yourself, what if I asked you this question?"

Ren Qianyu couldn't say anything and could only stare at Ren Yuhuan.

"I saved you after all, sister. You can rest in peace and recuperate, and pray that I can find the person who wants to harm you and me."

Ren Yuhuan walked out and Hong Xiu followed.

"You stay here to protect her."

Hongxiu obeyed the order and went back.

Ren Yu stood in front of the sedan with a sigh. No matter how many times he met, the grudge between him and Ren Qianyu seemed to never be resolved.

Unless one of them dies, I'm afraid this grudge will be gone.

Shen Yanzhi opened the sedan door curtain and shouted to Ren Yuhuan.

Ren Yuhuan didn't expect that Shen Yanzhi would be sitting in her sedan chair, so he walked over in surprise.

"Come up."

Ren Yuhuan sat in.

"Didn't I say that I would investigate?"

Ren Yuhuan lowered his head and said, "I am wrong."

"Why would you want to go to the cold palace to investigate?"

Ren Yuhuan knew that Shen Yanzhi would ask and had already thought of a response.

"Your Majesty, I only found out that Concubine Shu had a problem when I received a letter from my sister, so I asked my sister to continue to monitor Concubine Shu. At the same time, I was also worried that Concubine Shu would find out and take action against my sister, so I asked Hong Xiu to protect her."

"I didn't expect that person to strike so quickly. I don't know how my sister was exposed. I don't know how Concubine Shu is doing now."

Shen Yanzhi said kindly: "Concubine Shu is fine, she is asleep in the cold palace."

"I have strengthened the guards in the cold palace. I think they will stop for a while."
