Chapter 361 Hostages

Yun Cheng stood in front of the Prince of Wei's mansion, feeling sad.

After wandering for most of their lives, Zhao Jingtian finally got a chance to settle down in the capital, but they encountered such an absurd and bizarre thing.

Thinking about how Yunsong, who used to be calm and capable and never dared to look them in the eye, had suddenly become the mastermind behind the chaos and dragged their Yun family into it, their hearts were filled with despair in their numbness.

With a creak, the heavy vermilion door was pushed open.

Someone came out of 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 now silent.

Yun Cheng was about to kneel down and salute 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 "oh" 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 by now and found a hiding place with his family until the trouble was over.

Yun Benben was already full of worries, and when he heard her mention it, his face, which was pretending to be cheerful, suddenly turned worried.

"Hey, it's still that Yunsong guy..."

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.

Not long after they left the city gate, they were stopped by Yunsong's men and taken to an inconspicuous manor.

Their whole family had been locked up there for some time, and Yunsong had only come twice during that time.

Every time she looked at him and his family with a condescending attitude.

"I'm 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, cursing 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 the Yun family members are now in his hands.

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, could hear what was in one's mind, so he also knew Lu Xinran's secret.

Before he came, the man threw the letter into his hand and said that if they wanted to know, they would figure it out themselves.

And this method is Lu Xinran’s system.

Lu Xinran had already asked the system to download his booklet and began to look through his experiences during this period.

[Is Yunsong too conceited, or is he no longer afraid of anything because he is about to die? ]

[Isn't he afraid of failure? ]

[He has actually occupied so much of the Yun family's property over the years! ]

Before, I only had Yunsong’s booklet, so 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 rare 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 Yun Song so much trust is because the Yun family has been benefiting from it over the years.

But he should never, ever, bring disaster upon the Yun family and the extermination of 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 person who only responds to soft tactics and not to hard ones.]

It's not enough to threaten her with the Yun family.

She is a person who never acts without hesitation. If you don't put benefits in front of her, don't expect her to work.

Yun Cheng listened to her broken thoughts and tried hard to remember every word she said.

"It's getting late. I should go back."

He stood up, and suddenly smiled again in the concerned gazes of 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 had to enter the palace today.

The Queen had been waiting for the two of them to enter the palace since morning, but after the morning court session was over, there was still no news of the two of them entering the palace.

Although Lu Xinran has a somewhat erratic personality, he is relatively steady when it comes to major issues.

Since she had handed over the sign, she should have been waiting outside the palace early today. But 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 the Changchun Palace. Ever since the emperor prepared 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 when they didn't come.

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 must be up to something again.

The queen smiled and waved to the two of them, waved the palace maids back, and then said nonchalantly.

"When your Majesty was unconscious last time, the palace maids were unable to feed him the medicine. My method was a bit rough and I pinched your Majesty's cheeks, causing some bruises. Your Majesty has ordered 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 she naturally lost popularity here.

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 rough that day."

After chatting about random things, the three of them sat together and got down to business.

"Tell me, why did you enter the palace today?"

"Your Majesty, does His Majesty really want to seek immortals and ask for advice? Has he 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 were powerless to dissuade him, and now he has become a person who seeks the truth for him."
