When Xiao Jialan heard what he said, her eyebrows couldn't help but smile. She held the rattle and said, "Just buy this. I like it too."
"good."
Yuan Chen smiled fondly, he felt that his Jialan was like a child.
After paying the money, the two of them continued to walk forward. The noisy street was extremely lively. Suddenly, someone threw a handful of broken silver into the sky and shouted: "I've picked up silver!"
Immediately, the people were in a commotion, and they rushed forward and dispersed Yuan Chen and Xiao Jialan.
"Jialan."
Yuan Chen shouted, and he watched helplessly as Xiao Jialan was squeezed into the crowd, but because of the large number of people, he couldn't get close to her at all.
When the crowd dispersed, Xiao Jialan was no longer around, and only the rattle he bought just now was still on the ground.
He picked up the rattle on the ground, looked to the side of the street and quickly chased after it.
Xiao Jialan was being held hostage at this time and was walking deeper into the alley.
Just now, the crowd dispersed her and Yuan Chen. Unexpectedly, someone put a dagger to her neck and held her hostage here.
And this person is none other than Yuan Hao's sister Yuan Qiuci.
Yuan Hao's rebellion failed because Yuan Qiuci was not involved and therefore was not implicated.
Emperor Beichen also found a consort for him and was just waiting for him to get married on a good and auspicious day.
Who would have thought that Yuan Qiuci would be so bold and dare to hold her hostage in broad daylight.
The deep alley ahead reached the end, Yuan Qiuci stopped, and soon Yuan Chen caught up with him.
He was not surprised at all when he saw Yuan Qiuci, and only asked coldly: "Yuan Qiuci, what do you want to do?"
Yuan Qiuci looked at Yuan Chen with eyes full of hatred and said, "What are you doing? Brother Huang, can't you see it?
You killed my brother and left me with nothing, then I will kill your beloved and let you taste the feeling of having nothing."
Yuan Chen scolded: "Father spared your life, but you don't know how to cherish it. Do you think your life is too long?"
Yuan Qiuci suddenly laughed and said: "Spare my life? Yes, my noble princess lives without dignity. This has been the case since she was a child. Only you are the most beloved person of my father. My brother and I
It's just redundant.
As a princess, I can't have someone I like, and I can't be with him. Even my only close brother was killed by you.
My father wants to marry me to a man I don’t like. Why should I be pushed around by you all my life?
I am not willing to accept it. Even if I die, I will help you to support you and make you live in pain and guilt for the rest of your life."
As she said that she wanted His Majesty with the dagger in her hand, Yuan Chen asked: "Don't you want to marry Mu Rufeng?"
After hearing this, Yuan Qiuci paused in his movements, and then reacted: "Will you let me marry him? Do you think I don't know that he is already with that bitch Xin Ruyi?"
If she hadn't found the opportunity, she would have wanted to kill Xin Ruyi first and then take Xiao Jialan's life.
It's just that Xin Ruyi doesn't go out often in the Duke's Mansion. Xiao Jialan and Yuan Chen happened to be out alone today without any bodyguards. This gave her the opportunity to take action.
She spilled the money and caused confusion among the people, so that she could kidnap Xiao Jialan here.
Yuan Chen said: "You are holding Jialan hostage now. If you kill her, you will die. Why not exchange it for something more valuable, such as Mu Rufeng?"
Yuan Qiuci was a little hesitant. In fact, it was not that she had never thought about it this way. Mu Rufeng was the obsession in her heart, and it was her love that could not be obtained. She was really not willing to die like this.
