Chapter 33 Delivering Letters

Being locked up in Yikun Palace all day long, and only being released when he was sleeping, Ren Yuhuan knew nothing about the current situation. Instead, he was more worried about his mother than the situation in the palace.

Ten days had passed since Ren Qianyu told her that Shen Hebei asked Shen Yanzhi for marriage, and the whole matter seemed to have ended.

While Ren Yuhuan was locked in the room, he kept thinking about Shen Hebei's willingness to do this.

Could it be that Shen Hebei felt pity for her and wanted to reunite mother and daughter, so he took this step?

The little hope that burned in my heart gradually turned into worry as time passed.

If Shen Hebei thought she refused, would he still help her take care of her mother?

Ren Yuhuan was worried. What he looked forward to in his room every day was Shen Yanzhi's arrival.

As long as Shen Yanzhi stays overnight, Ren Qianyu will let Ren Yuhuan go.

Although Ren Qianyu would scold Ren Yuhuan on the second day of sleeping, she could find a way to communicate with Shen Hebei as long as she went out.

On this day, Shen Yanzhi fell asleep beside Ren Yuhuan, and Ren Yuhuan quietly got up, put on his shirt and opened the door.

He handed a letter he had prepared long ago to a palace attendant who was Shen Yanzhi's attendant.

After the palace man took the money bag handed over by Ren Yuhuan, he stretched out his hand to receive the letter.

Shen Yanzhi opened his eyes on the bed and listened attentively, and heard Ren Yuhuan say: "Send it to the prince's house, just say it was sent by Ren Yuhuan."

The palace man heard this and said softly: "Yes, your concubine."

When the palace attendant was about to turn around and leave, Ren Yuhuan stopped the palace attendant: "This is a letter I sent to my sister. Don't tell anyone, let alone His Majesty."

"Yes."

Ren Yuhuan tiptoed back to the bed, and when she lay down, she found Shen Yanzhi reaching out with one hand, wrapping his arms around her shoulders and hugging her: "Why is your concubine so cold?"

Ren Yuhuan was startled and raised his eyes to stare at Shen Yanzhi, only to find that Shen Yanzhi's eyes were closed, as if he was not awake yet.

"Your Majesty, I was thirsty and got up to drink a cup of tea."

"Why does the imperial concubine have to get up by herself and just ask the maid to come in and serve her?"

Ren Yuhuan hugged Shen Yanzhi's body and said in a soft voice: "I was worried about disturbing His Majesty, so I couldn't change the person."

Shen Yanzhi heard this and said no more.

The next day, Shen Yanzhi called the palace servant who served last night and asked if the letter from the imperial concubine last night could be delivered.

The palace man was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"I asked you if you sent it?"

Wang Lian kicked the palace man to the ground and said urgently: "Your Majesty asked you a question, why don't you come quickly?"

The palace man immediately knelt down again and said immediately: "Send it over."

Shen Yanzhi frowned slightly when he heard this: "Have you read the contents of the letter?"

The palace man was covered in chaff. He didn't know what the correct answer was, so he could only bite the bullet and tell the truth: "The letter was sealed tightly with grains of rice, and I didn't open it to see."

"Rice grains?"

Shen Yanzhi's deep eyes flashed, he put his feet on the dragon chair, lowered his feet, and said to the palace servant: "Follow me tonight, and find an opportunity to tell the noble concubine that you were searched by the guards on the way out of the palace to deliver the letter and lost it on the road. Bian, ask her to give you another copy, and then don’t give it away and keep it.”

Wang Lian saw that the palace man was too frightened to respond, and immediately cursed: "Idiot, do you understand what His Majesty said?"

"Yes, I understand!"

That night, Shen Yanzhi turned over the imperial concubine's sign again, and Ren Yuhuan was sent to the bedroom to sleep again.

Shen Yanzhi lied that he felt unwell and took a rest early.

The palace man followed Shen Yanzhi's instructions and went to find Ren Yuhuan for explanation. Hearing this, Ren Yuhuan's heart jumped wildly. After asking several times, he was sure that no one would pick up the letter if it fell into the ditch, and then he felt relieved.

"Just wait, I'll go find my sister and write a letter."

With that said, Ren Yuhuan ordered the palace attendant to go down. She slipped out quietly, avoiding the maids of Yikun Palace, and returned to her room.

Ren Yuhuan closed the door to his room, took the time to write the letter carefully, then sealed it with rice grains and took it out.

Wang Lian wanted to ask the palace servants to follow the imperial concubine, but Ren Qianyu suddenly appeared. She wanted to come for inspection, but she didn't want to run into Wang Lian.

Wang Lian immediately stepped forward to greet you: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Ren Qianyu's heart jumped into her throat, thinking that she had rashly come out and been exposed.

But on weekdays, Shen Yanzhi was used to not letting palace servants wait on him. What's more, Ren Qianyu was also worried about encountering this kind of situation, and specifically said that she didn't like people outside the bedroom.

Seeing that the concubine was stunned, Wang Lian immediately raised his hands and said, "Why don't you go in? Did you forget to take something?"

When Ren Qianyu heard this, her heart was beating wildly, but she just pretended that Wang Lian didn't know, so she nodded with a smile, gently opened the door and walked in.

Just then turned around and closed the door, she heard Shen Yanzhi's voice: "Where did your concubine go? She hasn't come back for so long?"

Ren Qianyu was so frightened that she trembled. When she turned around, she found that Ren Yuhuan was not on the bed. Although she was confused, she immediately put on a smile.

"I can't sleep, so I went out for a walk."

Shen Yanzhi took advantage of the moonlight and saw that the imperial concubine had changed her clothes. He was extremely confused but remained calm.

"It's cold outside. Concubine, please take a rest."

After saying that, Shen Yanzhi fell down and fell asleep.

Ren Qianyu had no choice but to go to bed and lie next to Shen Yanzhi. She was worried about how to go to bed early.

If Ren Yuhuan, a little kid who didn't know the situation, suddenly appeared at this moment, wouldn't everything be exposed?

Ren Qianyu wanted to get up again, but Shen Yanzhi held her hand tightly.

How can this be good?

Fortunately, when Ren Yuhuan came out with the letter, he saw Ren Qianyu entering the bedroom, and immediately hid in his room.

Waiting until late at night, Ren Yuhuan saw Wang Lian leaving, leaving only the palace servant at the door, so he straightened up his appearance, transformed into Ren Yuhuan and walked over.

"This is what the imperial concubine asked me to bring to you. It is still the destination yesterday. Be careful and don't lose it again."

The palace man didn't even ask a question, nor did he ask for any more reward. He took the letter and walked out.

Ren Yuhuan immediately returned to the room and waited for news.

Shen Yanzhi got up from the bed and looked at Ren Qianyu, who was sleeping beside him, but found no difference.

After getting up and out of bed, Ren Qianyu suddenly woke up and immediately raised her head.

"Is your concubine having a nightmare?"

Shen Yanzhi asked the palace maid to help him change his clothes. Ren Qianyu immediately stood up and came over to take the jade belt from the palace maid's hand: "Yes, I dreamed that I fell from a high altitude. It was so scary."

Ren Qianyu was worried all night, awake and nervous at times, never slept soundly all night, and could only fall asleep uncontrollably in the early morning.

He heard some noise just now and thought Ren Yuhuan had come in, so he woke up immediately.

At this moment, he looked tired and his face was a little haggard, but he looked more like Ren Yuhuan.

Shen Yanzhi didn't realize it and took Ren Qianyu into his arms.

"I'm protecting you, what are you afraid of?"
