Chapter 1329 His Majesty Is Assassinated

The two walked along with the crowd. Yun Shang smiled and said, "I can see that the Ministry of Rites

has put a lot of thoughts into it. At least I've never seen all kinds of small lanterns hanging on the trees

before."

"What's more, there are exquisite lanterns on the roof corner of the houses we passed by."

Yun Shang turned to Luo Qingyan with a smile and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you can give

some rewards to the Ministry of Rites."

"Okay." Luo Qingyan nodded, "I'll do as your majesty told."

As soon as Luo Qingyan finished speaking, he saw several exquisite boat by the lake not far away. He

turned around and asked in a low voice, "Would you like to take a boat?"

Yun Shang shook her head and thought that they should be more careful.

It was late at night. The street was crowded, and the lights were shining as if it was daytime, but the

lake was still dark.

If there were really assassins, the lake would be the best place to hide. In this dark night, it was difficult

for the secret guards to search. Moreover, if the boat was too far away from the shore, it would almost

become an isolated island in the lake. There was no way to escape.

"We'd better not take a boat. We can go to the lake and put the river lamp there."

"Okay." Of course, Luo Qingyan agreed. He smiled and asked, "What kind of river lamp do you want to

buy?"

Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked around at the stalls on the shore. When her eyes fell on the

most crowded stall, her eyes lit up.

Even from a distance, Yun Shang could see the exquisite and beautiful lanterns hanging on the stall,

which were more eye-catching than the other stalls nearby.

Yun Shang saw a huge river lamp hanging up. It was different from other lamps, larger, and there was

a lotus leaf under it. The petals were five or six layers in total, and they didn't seem to be made of

paper, but like a thin and transparent cloth, which was beautiful against the light.

From a distance, Yun Shang heard someone shouting, "This lamp is not for sale. It's today's lamp king.

The one who can answer all the riddles correctly can get it for free."

Yun Shang lowered her eyes and smiled. It seemed that this was the case at every lantern show.

Following Yun Shang's gaze, Luo Qingyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "which one do you like?"

Yun Shang shook her head, turned around and chose a quiet stall. "Just buy one there. Setting off the

river lamps is just for good luck. It doesn't matter whether it's beautiful or not."

"Okay." Luo Qingyan knew what she was worried about, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and

was about to go to the stall that Yun Shang pointed at.

As soon as he lifted his feet, he heard the voice of the stall owner, who was surrounded by people,

"This lamp king is not only good-looking, but more importantly, it is made of a very special material, and

the lotus leaves below is applied with oil, making sure that it will never sink."

"Setting off the river lamps is just for good luck, isn't it? If your own river lamps sink, it will not be a good © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

omen. With this lamp king, you will be able to fulfill all your wishes. "

Hearing the vendor's words, Luo Qingyan immediately changed his mind. "I think the lantern king is

very good."

Yun Shang frowned and wanted to persuade him, but Luo Qingyan spoke before her, "The vendors is

right. If the lantern sinks, it would be a bad omen. If it doesn't sink, our wishes could come true. "

Yun Shang laughed, "How could you believe that?"

Yun Shang looked at Luo Qingyan with a gleam in her eyes, "I don't believe it. I believe you. As long as

you are here, I will have everything I want, and you will fulfill all my wishes, won't you? "

Hearing that, Luo Qingyan paused. He lowered his head and smiled with affection. "Yes, you are right.

As long as I am here, I will fulfill all your wishes. "

"I can tell from your eyes that you like the river lamp. Since you like it, I will get it for you."

After Luo Qingyan finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Yun Shang on the forehead.

"Just wait. I'll win the lamp for you right now."

Then he added, "I'll be back soon. You take your secret guards to find a quiet place to wait for a while."

Luo Qingyan had always been a decisive person.

Yun Shang knew that she couldn't persuade him to change his mind, so she had to nod helplessly.

"Okay, okay."

Then she pointed to a willow not far away and said, "I'll wait for you under the tree. Come back soon."

Luo Qingyan nodded and waved at Yun Shang. Then he walked quickly towards the lantern stall.

Yun Shang saw Luo Qingyan walk to the stall and soon surrounded by people. After a while, Luo

Qingyan was nowhere to be seen.

Yun Shang walked to the willow as she said. Although Luo Qingyan was no longer in sight, she was still

staring at the lantern stall.

There were many people gathering in front of the stall. They were very lively and cheered from time to

time.

The owner's voice was so loud that Yun Shang heard it clearly. "This gentleman is awesome. He is so

handsome and talented. He has guessed six riddles in a row, and his speed is the fastest. But now

there are still four gentlemen who can match him. Let's see who can guess the rest ones."

"The one who can guess all the twelve riddles right could get this lamp."

Although the stall owner didn't name Luo Qingyan, she felt that the person he was talking about was

Luo Qingyan.

After all, Luo Qingyan was always that powerful.

He could recite poems and set up arrays in martial arts, and could rule the world.

How could he not handle these riddles?

Thinking of this, Yun Shang lowered her head and laughed.

Luo Qingyan often felt that he was older than her and was afraid that she would dislike him.

But he never knew that after he was with her, no one in the world could attract her attention.

"The tenth one! Now only this gentleman has answered the tenth. There are still two riddles left. Can

he win today and take away the lamp king? "

The owner's voice became louder, and the corners of Yun Shang's mouth became higher.

Just as she was waiting for the stall owner to read the riddle, she suddenly heard a scream. Then, she

saw that the people surrounding the stall quickly dispersed.

Yun Shang's face darkened. She wanted to find Luo Qingyan, but was forced to take two steps back by

the sudden surge of people.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, "His majesty is assassinated!"
