Chapter 26 'Gangsters'
Help--
A silent cry escaped from Yun Wan's lips. People lose the ability to speak in the moment of extreme fear.
Being pulled into the alley and submerged in the shadows, Yun Wan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her blood froze and she was terrified.
The coldness was like a poisonous snake, its icy body pressed against his wrist bones, and Yun Wan trembled with horror.
She froze, not daring to move, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
"This is Kyoto, at the feet of the emperor. My home is nearby, and my husband's family is on duty at the government office. If you dare to hurt me, they will never let you go!"
Her mind raced, and her tone was harsh yet threatening.
The person behind him didn't say anything, except for the faint laugh at the beginning, otherwise Yun Wan would have suspected that he had encountered the legendary dirty thing.
And today happens to be the Cold Food Festival.
But the hand holding him was indeed warm, including the shadow on the ground. Yun Wan judged that it was a tall adult man.
I secretly thought, "Oh no! This person is impossible to communicate with. I'm afraid he's a stubborn person who won't listen to anything. What I'm most afraid of is those evildoers..."
"If you let me go, I'll pretend that what happened today never happened. I have a little money on me, and I can give it all to you..."
Yun Wan softened her voice and discussed with the madman, but her other free hand was quietly raised.
As if moved by her words, the man behind her moved, and the shadow on the ground swayed with him.
Noticing that the force on his wrist had eased, Yun Wan raised his arm and elbowed back hard. After hearing a muffled groan, he broke free from the man and rushed forward.
However, the man reacted even faster, striding forward to catch up with Yun Wan again and restraining her.
This time Yun Wan struggled desperately just to get rid of the gangster.
But there is a huge disparity in strength between men and women, and Yun Wan was already extremely tired, so her struggle posed no threat to the man.
With a determined heart, Yun Wan pulled out the jade hairpin on her head and stabbed the man's neck with all her might.
The white jade texture turned into a stream of light under the moonlight, and a cold light suddenly appeared at the top.
The jade hairpin stopped in mid-air half an inch away from the man's Adam's apple.
His wrist was grabbed with incredible force, but the man was unharmed.
Yun Wan felt despair.
Suddenly, a voice that seemed to be a smile came from above: "Mrs. Lu is very fierce."
Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Wan suddenly looked up.
Just then, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and the moonlight shone down to the earth. A beam of bright light shone on the man, reflecting his cold and resolute face that looked like a god.
Yun Wan was stunned. "Your Majesty? Why is it you?"
There was disbelief in her frightened eyes.
Emperor Jingxuan lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on her eyes which were wide open in astonishment. His figure was clearly reflected in the black and white of her pupils.
"Why not?" He pulled his lips meaningfully.
The fingers holding her wrist bones climbed up step by step, and the fingertips with thin calluses slid across the back of her hand, between her fingers, and fingertips. With five fingers together, Emperor Jingxuan easily snatched the "weapon" from her hand.
Yun Wan stared at him blankly, "If it was you, then why didn't you say anything just now? I thought you were a bad guy..."
After surviving the disaster, Yun Wan's tense heartstrings suddenly broke. After being confused for a while, she felt endless grievances.
Big tears fell like pearls with broken strings. Yun Wan's eyes were red and the last bit of strength in her body seemed to be drained away. She swayed and squatted on the ground crying.
“Woo——”
In just one afternoon, Yun Wan was scared half to death. First, there was murder, then there was a fire, she got separated from her maid, she saved someone, and then she thought she met a gangster and her life was in danger. In the situation just now, she thought she was going to die for sure, and even thought of her last words.
It turned out that this "criminal" was actually Emperor Jingxuan, who was sitting in the palace and holding power!
Yun Wan not only did not feel a bit relieved, but even felt more angry.
The sobbing became louder and louder. Yun Wan squatted on the ground in a very ungraceful manner, with her head buried in her knees, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her whimpering sounded like a wounded little animal, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
The touch in the palm of my hand suddenly disappeared, followed by a sobbing sound like an accusation in my ear.
Emperor Jingxuan fell silent suddenly, and an unnatural look crossed his handsome and cold face.
No wonder they are mother and son. Why does this woman cry so suddenly?
He stared at Yun Wan, who was squatting on the ground and curled up in a ball. His thin lips moved and pressed into a straight line.
"Don't cry." He said in a dry tone.
Yun Wan ignored her and cried even louder.
Even if he is the emperor, he has no right to order others not to cry when they are in pain, right?
It was clearly him who scared me first, so let him blame me if he wants!
The woman's sobbing voice was particularly clear in the dark night. People passing by the alley seemed strange at first, then their faces changed slightly, they tightened their clothes and ran away.
I heard that someone died in Anyifang. Could it be that a ghost is wandering around so soon?
Emperor Jingxuan felt it was a difficult situation.
His palm stroking the white jade hairpin, he said coldly: "If you cry again, Madam will go home by yourself."
The crying stopped abruptly, and Yun Wan looked up: "Your Majesty, are you willing to send this humble woman home?"
A face as tearful as a pear blossom, tears in the corners of the eyes, a slight blush on the face, slightly furrowed eyebrows, and skin soaked in tears was as clear and delicate as mutton-fat jade.
The delicate voice was filled with a strong cry, and the ending tone was dragged out, sticky and sticky like a ball of honey that was so sweet that it made your teeth fall out.
Emperor Jingxuan's Adam's apple rolled, and he lowered his eyes and concentrated his mind: "There is no Your Majesty here, only the Seventh Master."
Yun Wan was stunned for a moment, then realized that they were outside the palace, and the emperor was on a secret visit, so he had to use a pseudonym.
"Seventh Master, can you take me back?" she shouted simply, her voice muffled, sweet and gentle.
The wind suddenly blew at night, blowing straight into the alley, and the tears on Yun Wan's face gradually dried.
Her face felt itchy, so she raised her hand and rubbed it.
When he put his hand down again, Emperor Jingxuan had turned around, with dark patterns floating on his flying sleeves, looking luxurious and noble.
While she was in a daze, the other person suddenly turned around and said impatiently, "What are you standing there for? Follow me."
"oh."
Thinking that he could ride in his carriage back, Yun Wan's bad mood finally improved.
Yun Wan suddenly stood up and his vision went dark. He took a deep breath and leaned against the wall to relax for a moment.
Suddenly, she felt a burning gaze, and she looked up to meet the eyes of the man in front of her.
He stood there, waiting silently.
After she felt better, Yun Wan lifted her skirt and chased after him.
Following Emperor Jingxuan through the alley, we turned a few steps and suddenly the view in front of us opened up to a spacious street.
Yun Wan was not familiar with this place and couldn't recognize which street it was.
At the junction of the alleys and streets, there was a tall and spacious carriage parked. It had a golden roof and golden nanmu walls. The gilded carvings on the gold-decorated windows looked like flowing water waves, and the air of luxury was overwhelming.
Beside the carriage, Jiang Fusheng, dressed in disguise, was waiting quietly.
Seeing the two people appear, he smiled and said, "Seventh Master, Madam Lu."
Yun Wan nodded at him and smiled slightly: "Eunuch Jiang."
Emperor Jingxuan got on the carriage first, followed closely by Yun Wan.
However, for a man of Emperor Jingxuan's stature, it would be easy for him to step onto the carriage by just lifting his legs, but it was quite difficult for Yun Wan.
Seeing this, the eunuch driving the car knelt on the ground and said, "Madam Lu, just step on my back and get on. Don't worry, I will never let you fall."
Yun Wan subconsciously stepped back and waved her hand to refuse: "No, no need, I can go up by myself."
She knew that this was a custom among the wealthy families in the capital, but Yun Wan was not used to it, and she especially disliked stepping on someone's back to get into the carriage.
After all, people are people with dignity, not dead objects without joy or sorrow.
