Luo Qinghan bent down and put the lantern in his hand on the river.

Xiao Xixi also put her lantern on it.

The two lanterns are shoulder to shoulder, like two little people holding hands, down the river in the dark night, towards the unknown distance.

Xiao Xixi looked at the two distant lanterns, full of expectation: "I wonder how far they can float? Will they float to the sea?"

Luo Qinghan: "Yuhe has a fence at the gate of the palace. These lanterns will be stopped by the fence, and then picked up by the guards and thrown away as garbage."

Xiao Xixi: "..."

Immediately it doesn't feel romantic anymore.

She said angrily: "Can't your Highness say a few words? Anyway, let the concubine keep a little fantasy."

Luo Qinghan: "Imagination can only be an illusion. To live, one has to be more realistic."

Xiao Xixi thought to herself, if this man lived in modern times and was a proper single dog, no woman would be willing to fall in love with him.

Gan Fu walked over quickly and bowed respectfully.

"His Royal Highness, the emperor, please come over."

Luo Qinghan said to Xiao Xixi, "go back alone", and then walked in the direction of the emperor.

The emperor has his own lantern.

It was a huge dragon-shaped lantern, more beautiful and dazzling than all other lanterns.

The emperor called the prince over so that he could help him put the lamp on the river.

Others gathered around to watch.

The wind by the river was strong, Xiao Xixi was blown a little cold, and she felt someone approaching behind her.

She thought it was Baoqin, so she didn't look back, and said while shrinking her neck.

"Bao Qin, give me the cloak."

However, she didn't get a response from Baoqin, instead a hand quietly pressed on her back.

Push that hand hard!

In front is the Royal River, and the dark river water looks bottomless.

If it fell into it, it would definitely hurt.

However……

That hand failed to push Xiao Xixi.

The hand behind him seemed to be unwilling, and increased its strength.

Still unable to push Xiao Xixi.

At this moment, Xiao Xixi stood firmly on the river bank as if rooted under her feet.

Let the people behind her push, she just doesn't move.

Xiao Xixi felt that the person behind him was inexplicable.

She looked back and saw a little eunuch standing behind her.

The little eunuch was still pushing her desperately. In order to exert all his strength, he also used his other hand, using both hands at the same time, trying to push Xiao Xixi into the river.

His face turned red because of the force.

At this moment, he felt that he was not pushing a delicate and weak concubine, but a heavy mountain.

Xiao Xixi asked, "What are you doing?"

The little eunuch froze all over. Oops, he was discovered!

He immediately retracted the two hands that committed the crime, turned around and wanted to run.

Xiao Xixi grabbed his back collar first: "What are you running for? What's your name? Which palace?"

The little eunuch took a lot of effort and couldn't run out. She was holding the collar firmly in her hand, and he was about to cry.

What the hell happened to this Concubine Xiao?

Why couldn't he push her with all his strength? !

Is she hiding iron nuggets? It's so heavy!

The little eunuch begged: "Niangniang, the servant knows that he is wrong. The servant was just confused for a while, and didn't mean to harm you. I beg you to hold your hand high and spare the servant this time!"

At this time, everyone was watching the emperor and the prince put out the lights, and no one noticed the movement here.

Xiao Xixi looked left and right, and she saw Zhao Xian not far away.

Behind Zhao Xian were more than a dozen Yulin guards.

Xiao Xixi dragged the little eunuch to Zhao Xian's side.

The little eunuch was really panicked, crying and struggling.

But his strength is really not enough for Concubine Xiao, no matter how hard he struggles, he can't break free.

In the end, he turned his heart out and bit his tongue and committed suicide!

Xiao Xixi didn't expect this person's temperament to be so strong, and he would always look for life and death.

She stopped, let go of her fingers, and let the little eunuch fall to the ground, covering his bleeding mouth, his body twitching.

Zhao Xian noticed the movement here, and he strode over with a knife on his back.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Xiao Xixi pointed at the bleeding little eunuch on the ground and said, "This man sneaked behind me just now and wanted to push me down the river, but I found him and wanted to run, but he didn't, so he simply committed suicide."

Zhao Xian's face changed, and he immediately bent down and forcibly opened the little eunuch's mouth.

There was indeed a big wound at the base of the tongue, but because the little eunuch's strength was not strong enough, he couldn't completely bite off the tongue, so he might still be saved.

He called two Yulin guards, carried the little eunuch away, and sent him for treatment.

Zhao Xian asked Concubine Xiao to recount the incident in detail.

Xiao Xixi still did as she did, telling everything she knew.

Zhao Xian said solemnly: "The general has already known about this matter, and at the end of the day, we will report the matter to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince truthfully, and let His Highness decide."

Xiao Xixi: "Well."

This is Baoqin hurriedly running over with her cloak in her hands.

She ran out of breath, sweat on her forehead: "Niangniang, are you alright?"

Xiao Xixi: "I'm fine, where did you go just now?"

Baoqin: "Just now, a palace maid told the servants that someone saw a handkerchief on the side of the road, like your handkerchief.

The slave-maid thought that it would be troublesome if someone else picked it up as a personal thing like a handkerchief, so the slave-maid hurried over to see if it was your handkerchief, and if it was, pick it up immediately.

But the slaves walked a long way along the palace road, but couldn't see any handkerchiefs. Later, the slaves felt that something was wrong, and they hurried back for fear that they were trying to turn the tiger away from the mountains. "

She looked at Concubine Xiao up and down, and she was relieved to see Concubine Xiao was safe and sound.

"Niang Niang, it's fine if you're fine, but the servants were so nervous just now."

Xiao Xixi didn't tell her about the little eunuch, lest she have to worry about it again.

Only then did Baoqin notice that Zhao Xian was standing next to her, and she quickly blessed her body: "Greetings to General Zhao."

Zhao Xian waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be more polite.

Xiao Xixi rubbed her arms: "Hurry up and put your cloak on me, it's a little cold here."

Baoqin shook off the cloak and put it on her, carefully helping her fasten the buttons.

In the distance, a huge dragon-shaped lantern was placed on the river, and the words Guotai Minan and Long Live the Emperor could be seen on the lantern from far away.

The lanterns drifted slowly downstream along the river.

There are people around constantly shouting auspicious words.

The scene was peaceful.

There were many lanterns floating on the river, and the faint candles swayed in the night wind.

These large and small lanterns form a long line of lights that meander down the water.

The night sky is bright and the moon is bright, and the river is brightly lit.

Luo Qinghan walked through the crowd and walked slowly in the direction of Xiao Xixi.
