frightfiction Chapter 224 Lantern Festival
Chapter 224 Lantern Festival
The new emperor ascends the throne and the whole world celebrates.
It was then that Chu Ye found out that the third daughter of the Xu family was Xu Xingwan's child.
At that time, he asked the imperial physician to take Xu Xingwan's pulse and determined that it was a boy, so he never doubted it.
At that time, I met a doctor named Wu from southern Xinjiang.
Doctor Wu told him that although the poison could not be cured, it could be transferred.
Transferred to the blood relatives of the person who planted the poison.
At that time, the Xu family had already fallen, and he personally sent several members of the Xu family to death. Now, the only way to save Chu Ye's life is to find that child.
This poison kills one thousand enemies while injuring one thousand of its own, no matter who planted it or who was poisoned. That's why it was banned by the Dianyi tribe.
After he found his daughter, he felt a mixture of emotions: on the one hand, there was the small amount of fatherly love, and on the other hand, there was the right to rule his country.
So this month was just his last affection for Xu Qinglan.
"Do you have any wishes?"
It is past midnight, and today is the full moon day of the first lunar month.
Looking at the pool of black blood on the ground, Emperor Jinyang felt a sudden pang of heartache, but it was fleeting.
He is an emperor.
The emperor is not allowed to have any emotions.
Xu Qinglan smiled bitterly and leaned forward to pray to Emperor Jinyang:
"Your Majesty, Qinglan only wants to return home... Please, Your Majesty..."
The Emperor of Jinyang is majestic without being angry:
"Shang'an Mansion, Dashi Village?"
Xu Qingzhao broke out in a cold sweat. She thought she had hidden it well, and the Fourth Prince had also promised her that he would cover it up...
She suddenly understood that the Fourth Prince and Chu Ye were of the same mind, and even her coming to the capital was probably for the benefit of the Emperor...
She is so naive...
She knelt on the ground and didn't dare to say a word. If she said too much now, she would make more mistakes. She was already in prison, so how could she bring those simple and kind people into danger?
"Even if you don't tell me, I know that October 30th is your wedding day."
"........."
"Don't panic. Those people are my people. How could I attack these defenseless villagers? I have no choice but to do what I did to you. Do you understand me?"
After being together for so long, he could also see his daughter's character.
Stubborn and stubborn, just like her mother.
"Qing Lan...I understand that Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. It is Qing Lan's honor to be able to help Your Majesty solve his problems."
"You should recuperate in the palace. Go meet Ming Zhaoyi. She has a similar personality to yours, so you won't be too lonely in the palace."
"Your Majesty... Qinglan..." I want to go home...
"When the time comes, I will naturally let you go back."
Now that the poison has just been transferred, he naturally wants to make sure that everything is safe before letting this person go.

"Kids! Get up~"
"My butt is on fire!"
"Get up quickly~"
Huanxi got up early in the morning. Yesterday, Pang Biaotou sent Hongying and Xiaoliu to her house in two carriages and asked her to take all the children in the family to the town to watch the lantern festival.
There was no curfew in Shang'an Prefecture, and the festive atmosphere was especially lively. Thinking that her children had never seen it, she sent two carriages to load the goods to the town together.
By this calculation, there are three carriages in the family.
There were fifteen people in the family, just enough for three carriages.
The doors of the house are all locked, and all money and property are hidden extremely secretly.
I called out to the black dogs at home, telling them to bite anyone who came in. After the dogs understood what I meant, one guarded the front door and the other guarded the back door.
I was so happy that I couldn't help but praise it:
"What a qualified bodyguard."
This is just internal protection. She has hired a powerful weapon for external protection. If someone really doesn't want to die, then they deserve it.
Three horse-drawn carriages set out in a grand procession. Huanxi, Hongying and Xiaoliu drove the carriages, chatting and laughing along the way as they went to the town.
When they arrived in town, Huanxi gave five taels of silver to the servants at home, one tael for each of the five people, and let them go out and play by themselves.
Otherwise, if you follow me, you will be worried and won’t be able to have fun.
There are many people in the town today, so the county magistrate has stationed officers and soldiers at every checkpoint to maintain order. In the absence of sufficient manpower, he even borrowed some from the escort agency.
Since it was a festival, the county magistrate was generous with the salary, so almost everyone in the escort agency went.
He told Yuanzhen and the others that if they were in danger, they should go find the people from the escort agency on the street. They all had red cloth belts tied around their waists, making them easy to identify.
After taking the money, they left happily.
The remaining adults chartered a cruise ship and took a group of children on a boat to cruise around the lake and watch the lantern festival.
"Uncle Pang, I'm sorry to have asked you to spend so much money. I'm so lucky to have met such a kind elder like you."
Pang Biaotou said with a smile:
"Hahahaha, it's so lively today. You don't know, little girl, in previous years, the county magistrate would also borrow escorts. The escort agency would be empty and it would be just me and Master Yingzi staring at each other. Now seeing these kids accompanying me, I am also very happy."
"Grandpa Pang, eat the candy man~" Xiao Nian carefully took out a candy man that looked like an old man from his arms, ran to Pang Biaotou and handed it to him like a treasure.
"Xiao Nian is so good, is this specially for grandpa?"
"I saw this girl on the road. She said her sisters all had one and Grandpa Pang wanted one too, so she carried it with her all the way." Huanxi explained.
"Hey, hello grandpa, Xiao Nian likes Grandpa Pang~"
Pang Biaotou was a burly old man with a candy man stuffed in his mouth, which looked a bit funny.
Holding Xiao Nian in his arms, he smiled so hard that his gums were exposed:
"Be good, Xiao Nian. Grandpa likes Xiao Nian too."
Xiao Nian smiled sweetly. She liked Grandpa Pang. Grandpa Pang hugged her. Her own grandfather had never hugged her.
Several children came out today and stared at the iron flowers on the shore without blinking, and from time to time they could hear the sound of "wa wa".
On the other hand, Ke You and Ke Yingrou stayed quietly by the side, not knowing what they were thinking.
"Xiaoyou, Xiaorou, this is Grandpa Pang, come and greet the elders."
"Hello Grandpa Pang~ Happy New Year Grandpa~"
"Grandpa Pang is in good health and everything goes well~"
Pang Biaotou nodded and smiled, took out a few purses from his pocket and distributed them, then turned to Huanxi and asked:
"These two children, are they the two from before the New Year?"
He was escorted by a bodyguard at the time, and I told him what happened when I returned.
"These two children are pitiful. My family has enough food and clothing, so I decided to take them home and raise them. It's better than living outside in the open."
"Girl, you are really kind, but I think the behavior and words of these two people do not seem to be from the Jiandan family. Girl, you have to be careful."
"Thank you for reminding me, I don't need to do that anymore."
"Uncle Pang, Huanxi has something in mind, don't you know it?" Yu Yan said from the side.
It was a busy day today, and she couldn't help but keep looking towards the shore, and only now did she come to her senses.
"That's right, Sister Huanxi is the most opinionated one."
Hongying also joined in.
"If you were half as sensible as that girl Huanxi, I wouldn't worry about your future." Pang Biaotou said angrily.
"Oh, Dad, we agreed not to talk about this today!"
"Okay, okay, Dad won't say anything. We'll talk about this after you turn eighteen. Other girls are in love at fifteen, but you're like a blockhead. You still don't have anyone you like. When Dad was your age, he was already in love with your mother." After saying this, he made a very contemptuous expression.
"Dad!" Hongying's face flushed instantly, her head feeling like it had been branded red-hot. Embarrassed, she ran to the bow, leaving the rest of the group laughing heartily.
Except for one person.
