Chapter Forty-Eight: Hand-to-Chief

Seeing that she was about to catch up with Liu Yanran, but was stopped at the door, Shen Ruogu was a little unwilling, but she couldn't force her way in, because she had already noticed that many royal forest troops near the palace were already gathering here.

If she dared to break in, not only would she not be able to save Liu Yanran, but she would also put herself in, and in the end, Shen Ruogu had to give up and stay near the dormitory to wait.

However, after a night, nothing happened, and there was no news that Qin Lingxiao was assassinated, and Liu Yanran never appeared.

Seeing this, Shen Ruogu frowned, waited for a while, and found that there was still no news, so she had to give up, and after returning to the room, she thought about it for a long time and felt that she couldn't continue to sit still like this, so she decided to take the initiative.

"If your master has any news, please let me know."

Before leaving, Shen Ruogu confessed, and then rushed to Zhang Man, she decided to follow Liu Yanran's proposal and assassinate Zhang Man first, whether she succeeded or not, she would definitely be able to force Qin Lingxiao out, and maybe she could help Liu Yanran.

With this thought, Shen Ruogu quickly rushed to the outside of Zhang Man's palace, although it was not as heavily guarded as Qin Lingxiao's side, but it should not be underestimated, and Shen Ruogu took a lot of effort to get in.

It happened that it was lunch time, so Shen Ruogu pretended to be the palace maid who delivered the meal, and followed everyone to Zhang Man's room.

The whole journey was smooth, everyone was cautious, and there was no exchange of words, which made Shen Ruogu very satisfied, after all, she was pretending to be someone else, and she didn't know these palace maids and eunuchs, and it would be miserable if she accidentally exposed it while talking.

Soon, everyone's destination arrived, and with the female eunuchs of the palace serving the dishes in their hands one by one, it didn't take long for Shen Ruohan's turn to hide the poisoned dagger under the plate, and as she got closer and closer to Zhang Man, Shen Ruogu's attention was unprecedentedly concentrated.

One step at a time......

"Dang!"

Shen Ruogu pulled out a dagger and stabbed at Zhang Man, and a flash of knife flashed, reflecting Zhang Man's panicked face.

However, just when she was about to succeed, a person on the side suddenly stepped forward to push Zhang Man away, and she blocked it, and Shen Ruogu's dagger stabbed into this person's body, just stabbing into his heart, killing him with one sword!

Seeing this, Shen Ruogu's face changed, and when she saw that the guards had already reacted and began to surround her, she immediately realized that the opportunity to assassinate Zhang Man had been lost at this moment.

Therefore, he did not stop and immediately retreated according to the escape route that had been designed before.

Although Shen Ruogu's reaction speed was very fast, she couldn't stand the large number of people on the other side, and there were still many guards who rushed ahead of her and blocked her way.

Seeing this, Shen Ruogu had no choice but to kill her, but the dagger in her hand was really not useful, and there were too many people surrounding her, so Shen Ruogu inevitably suffered some injuries, but fortunately she was allowed to escape.

On the way to escape, Shen Ruogu was dizzy because of excessive blood loss, so he could only run to the place where he felt safe, and the pursuers behind him were still chasing after her, and even faintly had a tendency to catch up with her.

Seeing this, Shen Ruogu couldn't help but smile bitterly, she was so big, this time she was impulsive, she went to assassinate Zhang Man without even making any preparations, and now she is still so seriously injured, she won't really be planted like this, right?

She was a little unwilling, but her body became heavier and heavier, and her eyes began to darken, Shen Ruogu persisted for a while, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and fainted.

However, before she fainted, she saw someone suddenly appear next to her and reached out to catch her.

Who is it? Is it the one who came to save her?

The moment he fell, Shen Ruogu thought so in his heart.

When she woke up again, the wound on her body had been treated, and she wanted to sit up, but after only a few movements, she found that her whole body hurt severely, and because of her action, the wound that had been bandaged and no longer bled broke open again.

"Don't move, you can't move now."

At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a person walked in, Shen Ruogu followed the sound and looked, it was Qin Lingjue!

"Is that you?"

The moment he saw Qin Lingjue, Shen Ruogu was a little surprised, wasn't this guy busy competing with Qin Lingxiao for the throne? How could there be time to come to the palace to save her?

"Ruogu, you are too reckless, this time I will get the news and arrive in time, you have been caught by Zhang Man's people."

Listening to Qin Lingjue's rebuke, Shen Ruogu didn't refute, because she knew very well that what the other party said was the truth, and this time she was indeed a little reckless, and she made the mistake of caring and messing around.

Thinking of this, Shen Ruogu couldn't help but worry about the safety of his friends in the palace, "Yanran didn't have an accident, right?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Lingjue immediately frowned, "Are you injured like this?" Do you still care about what others do? ”

If it weren't for Liu Yanran, Shen Ruogu wouldn't have stayed in the palace, and then there wouldn't have been someone who almost died like today.

Seeing that Qin Ling would never say anything, Shen Ruogu was very anxious, but he also understood that if the other party really didn't want to say that he couldn't do anything about him, he didn't pay attention to Qin Lingjue's warning anymore and wanted to get up and climb out of bed.

Seeing this, Qin Lingjue was suddenly helpless, and hurriedly went over and held her down, "Okay, let me tell you, Liu Yanran is fine, you don't have to worry about it now, right?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Ruogu suddenly relieved herself, and only then did she have time to look at the current environment, looking at the layout of this room, it was obviously a place where Qin Ling lived, she didn't reject it much, she only raised her eyebrows, "I owe you a favor this time, and I will leave as soon as I am healed." ”

Hearing this, Qin Lingjue's expression changed, "Do you still want to go back to the palace?" ”

"It's none of your business." After saying this, Shen Ruogu closed his eyes and ignored Qin Lingjue, obviously with an attitude of not planning to communicate.

Seeing this, Qin Ling couldn't say anything more, so he could only sigh and say, "You have a good rest." ”

After Qin Lingjue left, Shen Ruogu immediately opened his eyes, glanced at his disappearing back with a complicated gaze, and then closed his eyes again, but this time he was really resting.

On the other side, in the palace, after Liu Yanran returned to the palace, she learned the news that Shen Ruogu had failed to assassinate the Empress Dowager Zhang Man, she only knew that she was injured, and she didn't know that Shen Ruogu had been saved by Qin Ling.

"Mobilize the men and horses immediately, you must rescue Wakaya!"

Liu Yanran did not hesitate at all, and immediately sent the most elite team of her subordinates at present, hoping to save Shen Ruogu before the Empress Dowager Zhang Man's people.

Unexpectedly, her people just rushed over, but they ran into Shen Ruohan's people who also received the news and rushed to the palace to help, and in just an instant, the two sides were close to each other.
