Chapter 274: Tortured
When Yu Gongyu heard the crying, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "This is my mother's voice." As he said that, he was extremely anxious and didn't care about anything else. He turned around and wanted to run outside.
He just wanted to go and see what had happened to his mother and save her.
Seeing this, Shen Yiran quickly grabbed him and advised him solemnly: "If you rush out like this, not only will you fail to save the queen, but you will also lose your life. Don't act rashly."
After persuading Yu Gongyu, Shen Yiran turned to Ren Jingzhi and said solemnly and firmly, "My husband, I will go out first to divert Yu Gongchen's attention. You will seize the opportunity to lead everyone out to stabilize the situation. As long as Yu Gongchen is restrained, the others should not fight to the death."
Although Ren Jingzhi was also extremely anxious at the moment, he was still calmer than Yu Gongyu.
He just responded with a brief "OK", but his eyes showed determination, as if he had already planned what to do next.
After seeing Ren Jingzhi agreed, Shen Yiran turned around resolutely, walked through the open stone door with steady and firm steps, and entered the inner room of the imperial study.
As soon as she entered the inner room, she immediately held her breath and moved out carefully, taking every step extremely cautiously, for fear of making any sound and exposing herself.
As she got closer, the imperial concubine's helpless and desperate cries gradually weakened.
When she reached the carved window, the sight before her made her furious.
I saw a guard with a ferocious face sitting on the imperial concubine. One hand was fiercely strangling the imperial concubine's neck, and the other hand was tearing her clothes wantonly. The scene was simply horrific.
The Imperial Concubine looked ashen at this time, and she looked like she had been tortured beyond recognition. Her eyes were full of despair and helplessness, as if she had lost hope of living.
When Shen Yiran saw this, he was immediately furious, and two silver needles appeared in his hand without him noticing.
She gritted her teeth, her face full of anger and resentment, then she shook her wrist slightly, and the two silver needles flew towards the guard's eyes like meteors.
The silver needle instantly pierced the guard's eyes. The guard immediately let out a pig-slaughtering scream, covered his face tightly with his hands, and rolled on the ground in pain.
Everyone around was stunned by this sudden change and stood there, unable to react for a moment.
Shen Yiran walked out and cursed: "Yu Gongchen, you crazy beast, I shouldn't have saved you in the first place!"
After scolding, she quickly stepped forward, squatted down, gently helped the Imperial Concubine up, and then gently put the torn coat around the Imperial Concubine, trying to give her some warmth and comfort.
She gently comforted the Imperial Concubine: "Your Majesty, we are late and have caused you suffering."
The imperial concubine slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was Shen Yiran. Her eyes were full of trance, as if she was in a nightmare and had not yet woken up.
She stretched out her hand tremblingly, gently touched Shen Yiran's face, and called out weakly, "Ranran..." Then she fainted.
Shen Yiran's heart sank, and she quickly stretched out her finger to feel the imperial concubine's pulse. After a check, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the imperial concubine was just frightened and her life was not in danger for the time being.
When Yu Gongchen's eyes fell on Shen Yiran who suddenly appeared in the imperial study, he was stunned at first, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but soon, the surprise was replaced by a hint of disdain.
Based on his current self-confident momentum, he thought that even if there were a few more people like Shen Yiran, he would not necessarily take them seriously and did not think that they could cause any big waves.
Yu Gongchen's mouth corners slightly raised, a wicked smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards Shen Yiran at a leisurely pace.
As he walked, he said, "Princess, I never thought you would have the guts to come here. What's the matter? Did you know that your crippled husband is dead, so you want to throw yourself into my arms?
However, for a beauty like you, as long as you serve me well, it is not difficult to be granted the title of concubine." As he said this, his evil hand stretched out towards Shen Yiran's fair face, his eyes full of ill intentions.
Seeing this, Shen Yiran's eyes instantly lit up with flames of disgust and anger. She raised her hand suddenly and used all her strength to slap away Yu Gongchen's malicious hand.
With a "pop" sound, the crisp sound suddenly echoed in the imperial study room which was so silent that it was almost depressing, as if it was Shen Yiran's strong protest against Yu Gongchen's shameless behavior.
"You shameless man, letting you live until now is a disrespect for life." Shen Yiran's voice was cold as ice, and every word seemed to carry a biting chill, as if it could condense the air around them, making the atmosphere in the imperial study even colder and more tense.
Yu Gongchen felt a sharp pain in his hand after being slapped by Shen Yiran, and the evil smile on his face instantly twisted into a ferocious look of anger.
He snorted coldly and said viciously: "Humph! If you don't accept my toast, I will let you drink the wine for punishment. I will see how long you can be so arrogant!"
After saying that, he shouted loudly and waved his hand violently, signaling the guards behind him to quickly gather around again.
However, Shen Yiran showed no fear in the face of such a heavy siege. She was extremely agile, moving quickly among the guards like a ghost.
She didn't know when a few silver needles appeared in her hands. When she waved the silver needles, they turned into silver lights. Every time they flashed, they were accompanied by screams from the guards.
Some guards were pierced precisely by the silver needles in their acupuncture points, and were instantly unable to move, and could only stand still; others were less lucky and were scratched by the silver needles, bleeding profusely. The scene looked quite tragic.
While Shen Yiran skillfully dealt with wave after wave of attacks from the guards, he kept a close eye on Yu Gongchen's movements, his eyes as sharp as lightning, searching in this chaotic situation for the perfect opportunity to give him a fatal blow.
At this moment when the situation was tense and the battle was fierce, Ren Jingzhi and his men who were hiding in the inner room seized the opportunity and rushed out like a tiger out of the cage.
With Ren Jingzhi's loud shout, "Protect the emperor!" This loud voice was like a charge horn.
When Yu Gongyu and Ban Xia heard the shout, they said nothing and rushed to the side of the imperial concubine like an arrow.
There was flames of anger burning in their eyes, and they held their swords tightly in their hands, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
At the same time, Lin Nan and Lin Bei also acted quickly. With a clear target, they launched a fatal attack directly at the two guards who were holding the emperor.
The two men cooperated well and attacked fiercely, putting the two guards in trouble in an instant.
Ren Jingzhi wielded the long sword in his hand as if he was in an unmanned space. His sword skills were sharp and precise, and every swing of the sword carried a thousand pounds of force. No one could stop the sword. He dodged a few times and came to Shen Yiran's side like a ghost.
Then he turned around quickly and formed a back-to-back defensive posture with Shen Yiran.
The two men stood back to back, looking around vigilantly, ready to deal with this increasingly chaotic and dangerous situation together.
For a moment, the entire imperial study was in chaos, with shouts and screams coming one after another.
Yu Gongchen looked at Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu who suddenly appeared, his heart suddenly tightened, and he instantly felt a breath of death coming towards him.
His expression turned extremely ugly, and he shouted at his personal guard: "Wang Feng, what's going on? Didn't you say that Ren Jingzhi and Yu Gongyu were dead?"
