Chapter 73: The Full Moon (8)
Shen Junzhuo originally accompanied Emperor Zhao to watch the lights at Qin'anmen. Standing on the high Qin'an Gate, the situation on the entire royal street is in full view, and the entire area below is brilliantly lit, reflecting the sky brightly.
Emperor Zhao looked at the peaceful appearance, was very satisfied with the Lantern Festival, awarded rewards to several main officials, and took everyone back to the Nine Palaces for a banquet.
Shen Junzhuo remembered that Shu Jiao was going to see the lantern today, so he found an excuse to leave from Emperor Zhao's side, and as soon as he returned to the royal street, he arranged for his subordinates to go to find the carriage and female dependents of the Maoguo Mansion. After searching for a while, I realized that the carriage was blocked outside, and several young ladies came by themselves.
Shen Junzhuo was tall, standing in the crowd looking around, and at a glance, he saw the slender girl in the crowd, even if she was carrying a power fence, he recognized her at a glance.
He didn't want to alarm too many people, he had already changed his official uniform when he came out, and at the moment he was just dressed as an ordinary literati, and he put two glances of mustache on his lips, and quietly walked behind her.
He saw that she was going to guess the lantern riddle, and he smiled at the corners of his mouth, and when she brought out a delicate lantern and was about to go up to congratulate her, he saw a group of lion dancers coming. The crowd was too crowd and walking too fast, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong like a tiger, but the moment he stretched out his hand to her was too late, and he watched her be squeezed away by the crowd, deliberately squeezed into the dark by a group of people.
At that time, his heart was suddenly extremely nervous, and he didn't even care about giving an order to the subordinates who followed him, and rushed towards her directly through the crowd. In a few jumps, he saw someone holding a dagger behind her, his heart was pounding, he had never been so worried and afraid that he would miss!
Her captor was still agile, but he subdued him with a single move, and he kicked the dagger far away. The men under his command followed, and in a few moments they caught the gangsters. The girl's face turned pale with shock, and when she fell into his arms, her fawn-like eyes gleamed with water, and his heart softened, and his hands tightly wrapped around her waist, allowing her to lean on his shoulder.
There was a lot of crowds, bustling, he felt that there were chaotic eyes everywhere, I don't know if there was still danger hiding in the dark, and ordered his subordinates to tie up the gangsters and take them away, and as soon as he used his strength, he beat the person who fainted in his arms and hugged him horizontally, and went to the nearest restaurant.
Although the restaurant was also overcrowded, as soon as his identity was revealed, he didn't have to say a word, and the store quickly vacated a room. He wrapped her whole body in her cloak, only a little nostril was leaning against his chest, and his hands were still trembling a little when he carried her upstairs, he was really afraid that she had been seriously injured.
When he got to the room, he put her on his lap and slowly opened the cloak that wrapped around her, her face was still so white, and she had woken up at some point, looking at him with a pair of sparkling eyes, and two tear streaks on her cheeks.
His heart trembled, and he freed up a hand to gently wipe away her tears, and his voice became extremely warm, and said:
"But where did it hurt?"
Shu Miao felt that her whole heart was filled, how depressed she was by the huge fright, and how warm and gentle the embrace gave her later. She leaned against his chest, and she heard the pounding of his heartbeat in his chest, and the faint heat coming through his shirt, all of which made her feel incredibly stable and warm. This person, no matter how cold he is to others, is so gentle when he treats her!
She didn't know when she shed tears, she just felt that her heart was full of great satisfaction, the kind of cherishment when he was held in his arms, his nervousness about her, his caution towards her, she could feel it. It was this satisfaction that made her unable to hold back her tears, her nose was sore, and she couldn't speak.
She didn't speak, only wept silently, and he panicked, thinking that she was really hurt by something, but because of etiquette, he couldn't check it, so he could only ask softly over and over again:
"What's wrong? What does it hurt? ”
Before he was about to shout out to his subordinate standing outside the door to ask him to invite Langzhong, he saw her shake her head, and struggled out of the cloak that wrapped her, and reached out to gently hold his hand.
This was the first time she took the initiative to touch him, and he was stunned for a moment, his heart panicked, the blood in his whole body gurgled to the top of his head, and the joy in his heart enveloped his whole body.
The hand was gentle, as if he was afraid of something, and as if he was testing something, he didn't care about thinking so much, and held it tightly with his backhand, it was still so soft and boneless, cold and cold, but the slippery skin was like a piece of warm jade in the palm of his hand, which made him cherish it from the bottom of his heart.
"I'm fine......"
She whispered, and the whiteness of her face faded, followed by a flush. Only then did he realize that he was still holding her, and the posture was still so ambiguous. He slowly lowered her in a panic, and had to let go of the hand holding her, and watched her stand there and straighten her dress, and then turn her back to spread her long hair, trying to tie it back into a bun.
He moved his throat and turned his back, after all, it was too private to watch his hair loose like this. After waiting for a while, he felt that it was almost enough, and then he turned around, and she had already curled her hair, and her black hair had become soft and neat again, completely devoid of the mess after the panic just now.
Again, both of them were a little embarrassed. After being silent for a while, Shen Junzhuo suddenly said:
"Don't worry, the gangsters who want to tie you up have been caught, and they will ask for news in a few days. These days, you stay in the house and don't go anywhere, don't see anyone, just wait for me to find you. ”
Shu Miao lowered his head and nodded slightly. She couldn't think of anyone who would do this to her, she was probably just a kidnapper, and she wanted to arrest her while she was in chaos. But when I think about it, I feel afraid, if I don't meet Shen Junzhuo, the consequences are unimaginable. She suddenly remembered Liu's mother and them, she panicked before and forgot everything, but now she calmed down, thought about them, and found that she couldn't find her, they must be crazy! She looked up at Shen Junzhuo, with a bit of eagerness on her face, and said:
"What about my nurse? They can't find me, I'm afraid I even have the heart to die! ”
was all about her before, but Shen Junzhuo only remembered this at this time, and hurriedly called the people outside the door to come in, and told them to go out to find the people from the Maoguo Mansion, and if they found it, just let them go back by themselves.
Shu Jiao put her mind at ease, she just felt that it was a little strange that he didn't let Liu's mother come to her, but when she thought of being with him, she felt that it didn't matter. She looked up at him, and felt that his gestures were full of majesty and bearing—with the presence of outsiders, he had reverted to the cold general.
After he finished his order, he called the young man downstairs and stood outside the door and said a few words, and she listened to a general idea, saying that she wanted a table of banquets in the restaurant. When I heard this, I felt that I was really hungry at that time, and I was in a hurry for lunch, and I didn't eat much, so I was already hungry!
