Chapter 42
Being held hostage
The Queen Mother had known about the rumor that Concubine Yun could not have children for a long time, but now she heard Concubine Yun admit it face to face, and she felt uncomfortable. There were many concubines in the emperor's harem, and the one she loved and valued most was Concubine Yun, but she just couldn't have children.
Because the queen's trouble with Concubine Yun and Concubine Yun's inability to have children made the queen mother depressed, she asked Lin Shuran and Concubine Yun to go out first.
After leaving Renshou Palace, Concubine Yun wanted Lin Shuran to sit in her Shuyun Palace. After all, it was rare for the two sisters to meet each other, and she had not talked to her family for a long time.
Lin Shuran nodded and agreed, so the two sisters went to Concubine Yun's Shuyun Palace to talk about the common things. However, Concubine Yun did not stay with Lin Shuran for too long. She knew that Xu Junze and Lin Shuran entered the palace together today, and the queen must have gone to the emperor to make trouble.
Then Xu Junze couldn't stay with the emperor for long, so although he was reluctant to part with her, he still let Lin Shuran go.
"Don't worry, sister, everything is fine with your parents and the family. If there is a chance in the future, my sister will come to see you again!" Before leaving, Lin Shuran gently held her sister Yun Fei's hand and said.
Concubine Yun nodded with tears in her eyes. After entering the palace, she couldn't help herself. In this life, she would not be able to fulfill her filial piety in front of her parents.
Gong E led Lin Shuran out of Shuyun Palace, and then changed to the eunuch on duty to lead her all the way to Xu Junze, who had been waiting for her for a long time. Then the couple left the palace.
On the way out of the palace, Xu Junze was as silent as when he came in, and his steps were very slow. Lin Shuran could just keep up with him.
After getting on the carriage, Lin Shuran secretly glanced at Xu Junze, hesitating to speak, as if she didn't know whether to speak or not.
Seeing her embarrassed look, Xu Junze took the initiative and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Does the Queen Mother like anything?" After asking, Lin Shuran told Xu Junze what happened in the Queen Mother's Palace, thinking that she should prepare a gift for the Queen Mother.
"The Queen Mother likes to be quiet. She will tend to some flowers and plants in her free time. She doesn't have anything she particularly likes." Xu Junze told Lin Shuran what he knew. The Queen Mother has always been kind, and Lin Shuran's temperament is probably what she likes.
Lin Shuran's face was filled with joy. She also loved to take care of flowers and plants. During the three years since she came to this time and space, she had built a small garden in the farm, which was filled with flowers, plants and trees that she carefully cultivated. However, it was now the severe winter, so the garden
In addition to plum blossoms, the flowers in bloom were camellias, pansies and strelitzia reginae. Later, she went to the farm to personally select the best one to send to the Queen Mother.
The carriage was walking in the downtown area when suddenly the crowd in front started to commotion. A man with a beard and a ferocious look ran forward. Behind him were two officers in criminal uniforms chasing him.
People on the street were frightened and ran away, and the carriage in the middle had to stop. Xu Junze frowned and opened the carriage curtain, then flew out and kicked the fleeing man to the ground. At this time, the pursuer
Officials also arrived. One stepped forward and held down the man who was trying to escape. The other walked up to Xu Junze and saluted respectfully while thanking him: "Thank you, General, for your help!"
"What's going on?" Xu Junze asked the officer in front of him as he glanced at the man on the ground who was still struggling and staring angrily at him while being pinned down by the officer.
"This man is the leader of thieves in the city who specializes in stealing things. I have been keeping an eye on him for several days. I just noticed that he wanted to escape and chased after him. I didn't expect that this man could use some boxing and kicking skills to run faster than a rabbit.
If the general hadn't taken action, he might have escaped!" The speaker happens to know Xu Junze and has always admired him. This time, he is also sincerely grateful to Xu Junze. This person is an important prisoner that Xiao Chen wants to catch. If he really escapes, they
You will definitely be punished if you go back.
A few people were talking, and pedestrians on both sides dared to gather around and join in the fun. Unexpectedly, a petite figure got into the carriage at an extremely fast speed, and then took out a dagger and put it on Lin Shuran's neck.
Because the newcomer moved too quickly, in just a blink of an eye, Lin Shuran became someone else's hostage and was forced out of the carriage with a knife on his neck.
"Let my eldest brother go, or I will kill her!" The person holding Lin Shuran hostage was a lean man with a goatee and triangular eyes. He had a high-pitched voice and was slightly taller than Lin Shuran. He stared at her viciously.
The direction where Xu Junze is.
Seeing this man holding Lin Shuran hostage, hope shone in the eyes of the bearded man who was pinned to the ground. He struggled hard again, and the two officials also became nervous. The woman who could get out of Xu Junze's car, the eighty-nine
Bu Li Shi is the young daughter of the Imperial Tutor who has been rumored for a long time in the capital, and is now the wife of the General.
A sharp light suddenly flashed in Xu Junze's eyes, making the man with the goatee tremble, but as if he was cruel, he moved the dagger in his hand closer to Lin Shuran's neck. The sharp dagger blade had already scratched her delicate skin.
The blood quickly appeared in the next second, scaring many of the onlookers into screaming.
"Let my brother go, or I'll really do it!" The goatee man yelled at Xu Junze angrily, but the next second, "Whoosh - whoosh -" two sounds pierced the air, and he quickly remembered that the goatee man was miserable
He screamed and fell down with his eyes wide open.
I saw that his wrist holding the dagger was pierced by a bamboo dragonfly wing, and a bamboo dragonfly wing was also deeply pierced in the middle of his eyebrows. This shows that the martial arts of the person who killed him was extremely high, and
Many people present saw with their own eyes that the wings of these two bamboo dragonflies were thrown out by Xu Junze.
At this moment, the bamboo dragonfly vendor who was standing next to Xu Junze and loved to join in the fun was also frightened. He didn't know when the bamboo dragonfly on the shelf was touched by Xu Junze, and now it is used as a murder weapon. This
Can his bamboo dragonflies still be sold in the future?!
Lin Shuran looked straight at Xu Junze with her eyes wide open. She was not very panicked at first. Although she was kidnapped, her brain was running fast, thinking about how to escape, but she didn't expect Xu Junze to strike so quickly and cruelly. In the blink of an eye,
So they killed people.
This was the first time she had seen Xu Junze kill someone. He seemed to be doing a very normal and natural thing, and there was no emotion in his eyes. But it was the first time she had seen someone killed so suddenly in front of her.
, her brain went blank for a moment, and then her body wanted to soften uncontrollably, but Xu Junze hugged her body firmly the next moment.
He thought she must have been frightened, both by this scene and by himself. The next moment, he hugged her and got into the carriage, telling the coachman in a deep voice to return home quickly.
The pain in her neck made Lin Shuran wake up quickly. Although she was bleeding a lot, her arteries were not damaged. At this time, Xu Junze was covering the wound on her neck with his warm hands.
Lin Shuran wanted to get up from Xu Junze's arms, but Xu Junze pushed her back firmly. His face was sullen and his tone was a bit harsh, but it made her feel a little nervous. He stared at her with deep eyes and said:
"Don't move, the wound will open!"
