Chapter 360 Hostages
Yun Cheng stood in front of the gate of Prince Wei's mansion, feeling sad.
After wandering for most of their lives, Zhao Jingtian finally got his family a chance to settle down in the capital, but they ended up encountering such an outrageous and bizarre thing.
Thinking of Yunsong, who used to be calm and capable and never dared to look them in the eye, and who suddenly became the mastermind behind the storm and dragged their Yun family into it, their hearts were numb and filled with despair.
With a creak, the heavy vermilion door was pushed open.
Someone came out from the door and looked him up and down casually.
"Come with me."
In the main courtyard, two sisters sat opposite each other.
The two people who were originally preparing to enter the palace were both silent at this time.
Yun Cheng was about to kneel down and pay his respects when he entered the room, but Lu Xinran quickly signaled the servants to stop him, "We are all family, uncle, there is no need to be polite, let's sit down and talk."
Yun Cheng uttered an "eh" and quickly followed the servant's instructions to sit in an empty seat nearby.
The two of them kept their eyes on him. After he sat down, Lu Xinlan asked softly, "Is your uncle in trouble?"
If nothing unexpected happened, he should have left the capital long ago and found a hiding place with his family until the trouble was over.
Yun Ben was already full of worries, and when he heard her mention this, his face, which was pretending to be cheerful, suddenly turned worried.
"Hey, it's still that guy Yunsong..."
When he received the message, although he felt that the content of the letter was too bizarre, his instinct reminded him that the sisters would definitely not harm him.
So he immediately took his family, packed his luggage and prepared to leave Beijing.
However, not long after they left the city gate, they were stopped by Yunsong's men and taken abducted to an inconspicuous manor.
Their whole family had been imprisoned there for some time, and Yunsong only came twice during this period.
Every time he looked at him and his family with a condescending attitude.
"I came here to deliver a letter."
After briefly talking about their family's situation during this period, he took out Yunsong's handwritten letter from his arms.
Tracy stepped forward, took the letter and handed it to Lu Xinran. The two sisters read the letter one by one and cursed in their hearts.
This Yunsong is really not a good thing!
Asking Yun Cheng to deliver the letter at this time is just to tell them that all the Yun family members are in his hands now.
Are you trying to use the Yun family as hostages?
"Uncle, did Yunsong say anything else to you?"
Lu Xinlan folded the letter and put it back into the envelope before asking again.
Yun Cheng glanced at Lu Xinran, hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
Yunsong, that guy, can hear people's thoughts, so he also knows Lu Xinran's secret.
Before he came, the man threw the letter into his hand and said that if they wanted to know something, they would figure it out themselves.
And this method is Lu Xinran’s system.
Lu Xinran had already asked the system to load his booklet and began to look through his experiences during this period.
[Is Yunsong too arrogant, or is he fearless because he is about to die? ]
[Isn't he afraid of failure? ]
[He has actually seized so much of the Yun family's assets over the years! ]
Before, I only had Yunsong’s booklet, and I didn’t see many things in detail. Now that I have Yuncheng’s booklet, I know how much blood Yunsong has sucked from the Yun family over the years.
Yun Cheng listened to her inner thoughts and came up with a few rebuttals.
Yunsong has made great contributions to the Yun family’s current status.
Many of the Yun family's current industries are managed by him. The reason why he can give Yunsong so much trust is because the Yun family has been benefiting from it over the years.
But he should never have done that. He should not have brought disaster upon the Yun family and brought death to all nine generations of the family.
The Yun family just wants to live a stable life, why is it so difficult?
Everyone in the room was silent. Lu Xinran flipped through his booklet and finally understood why Yunsong sent someone here.
[He just wants me to reveal his life story, but he should know that I am a soft-hearted person. ]
It's not enough to threaten her with the Yun family.
She is a person who never gives up until she gets what she wants. If you don't put benefits in front of her, don't even think about getting her to work.
Yun Cheng listened to her whispers and tried his best to write down every word she said.
"It's getting late, I should go back."
He stood up, and suddenly smiled again in the concerned gazes from the two sisters: "Don't worry, Yunsong has been in the Yun family for so many years, he must have some affection for us, and he won't touch us unless it is absolutely necessary."
With him around, perhaps their whole family would be safer.
After seeing the person off, the two men got on the carriage to the palace without saying anything more.
The request to see the Queen had been delivered to the palace the day before, and we must step into the palace today.
The Queen had been waiting for the two of them to enter the palace since morning, but after the morning court was over, there was still no news of the two of them entering the palace.
Although Lu Xinran has a somewhat eccentric personality, he is still steady when it comes to major matters.
Since she had handed over the sign, she should have been waiting outside the palace gate early today. She hadn't seen anyone yet, so something unexpected must have happened.
As she thought about this, all kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. Just as she was about to send someone outside the palace to inquire about the news, the news that the two sisters had entered the palace finally came.
It was very quiet in Changchun Palace. Ever since the emperor decided to cultivate himself, all the concubines in the harem immediately changed into Taoist robes and attended morning and evening classes every day, under the pretext of praying for him.
They had to attend morning classes, so naturally they had no time to pay their respects at Changchun Palace.
The queen no longer cared about this. She was happy to have some peace and quiet without them coming.
So when the two sisters entered the room, they felt that the place seemed a little quieter than before.
The two looked at each other and realized that the emperor was up to something again.
The queen smiled and waved to the two of them. After sending away the palace servants in the hall, she said nonchalantly.
"The last time your Majesty was unconscious, wasn't it that the palace maids were unable to feed him the medicine? My method was a bit rough and I pinched your Majesty's cheek, leaving some bruises. Your Majesty has punished me to reflect on my actions behind closed doors."
As for how long he would reflect, the emperor didn't say, and she was too lazy to ask.
She had to reflect behind closed doors, and the concubines had to put on a show to pray for blessings, so naturally she lost popularity.
When Lu Xinran thought of the dark blue fingerprints on the emperor's cheek that he saw that day, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Your Highness was indeed... a little rude that day."
After chatting away, the three of them sat together and got down to business.
"Tell me, why did you enter the palace today?"
"My Lady, His Majesty really wants to seek the immortals and ask for the way, so he has summoned many Taoists and monks to the palace?"
"Well, this matter is now known to everyone in the court. It is no longer a secret."
Speaking of the emperor's absurd behavior, the queen's face was gloomy, "The court officials are powerless to dissuade him, and now they have become people who seek the truth for him."
