Chapter 25 Misunderstood Mind
"My lord, they are all dead soldiers. After we caught them, they already had poison in their mouths, and none of them survived."

"understood."

After Xuanyuan Yun was disturbed, he looked disappointed, raised his hand and said to the eunuch beside him, "Seal the news and don't let it out. Also, go back to the palace and report to the Holy Majesty that the king is safe and sound. You all go down."

"Yes."

After everyone retreated in unison, the hall suddenly became empty.

"Miss Su, you were shocked tonight."

"Fortunately."

After Su Jinluo's matter was resolved and he was saved from disfigurement, he hurriedly wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Yun quickened his pace and stopped in front of her.

"Miss Su, wait a minute."

"What else is there, Your Highness?"

"Today happens to be the Lantern Festival, and the lantern festival outside is not over yet, so my lord will go out with you?"

Xuanyuan Yun sent out the invitation first, and Su Jinluo knew that if he didn't just refuse, there would be more disputes, so he said: "Your Highness is joking, I just experienced that kind of thing, the most urgent thing is to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, I guarantee you It’s safe, so I’ll go back first.”

"Many people want to kill me, and it's not the first time I've experienced this kind of thing."

Xuanyuan Yun said something like self-deprecating, the candlelight in the hall reflected on his face, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and it was hard to see whether the corners of his mouth were raised or drooped.

"How about we finish the meal just now?"

After Xuanyuan Yun finished his proposal, he asked Xiao Er to come over and continue serving the dishes.

The shopkeeper looked like a lost dog, bowed his head, and said with a frowning face: "This official, I'm really sorry, just now a group of people came from the yamen, and took away all the servants and cooks in my shop, and now I'm the only one left. One."

Su Jin said in a heartbroken way: This shopkeeper is also unlucky, taking advantage of the festival to do business happily, who would have expected that the assassin would assassinate the prince here, and the investigation will not be clear after five or six days.

Xuanyuan Yun didn't say anything, and walked out with her, when the evening wind came, blowing Su Jinluo's temple hair.

She shivered quietly, her body was still cold.

And Xuanyuan Yun next to him walked briskly, and his mood was visible to the naked eye. He had been particularly fond of Su Jinluo from the very beginning, and when he had the opportunity to come out to meet, he would die together and live together. , as well as love and righteousness, great intelligence, and for a while, the favorability reached its peak.

If he didn't say it right away, he really felt that he would suffocate to death.

In the past, on the battlefield, Xuanyuan Yun was always calm and relaxed, but facing Su Jinluo, he lost his position as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I would like to thank Ms. Su for saving me tonight. I didn't expect that the assassins would be so cunning that they would use phosphorous powder, which is flammable when exposed to fire, as a weapon. Luckily, they didn't burn themselves."

"Ah."

"Miss Su, I have something to say, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

Su Jin's fingernails sank into his palms, and he said, "Since I don't know whether I should talk about it, let's talk about it later when I have a chance."

"But this king can't wait!"

Xuanyuan Yun took a step closer, and even Qiuchun was taken aback, but due to his status, he could only stare blankly, not daring to stop him.

"What does Your Highness want to say?"

"I..." Xuanyuan Yun stumbled as soon as he opened his mouth, his ears turned red, he took a deep breath, and said, "Does Miss Su have any other thoughts about this king?"

"The First Prince has made great contributions to the country and frequently helped my brother on the battlefield. The entire Su Mansion should thank you very much."

Su Jinluo avoids the serious and ignores the trivial.

Xuanyuan Yun hadn't realized the refusal in her words and demeanor, and said with tenderness in her eyes: "But I do. When I fell into the water tonight, I was almost scared to death. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to swim up, and I wouldn't be able to rescue you."

"Am I okay?"

Su Jinluo smiled slightly, and quietly took half a step back, thinking frantically how the eldest prince should distance himself.

She didn't wear any makeup, but she was more beautiful than ordinary women after being well-dressed. Her skin was three points clearer than snow, her eyes were black and her lips were dark, and her simple bun made her look more cool and noble.

Xuanyuan Yun stared straight at him, and didn't want to make any detours anymore, and said directly: "Miss Su, since I saw you for the first time at the celebration banquet..."

Su Jinluo's back was already covered with cold sweat, he stood still and couldn't move, so he had to bite the bullet and listen to his confession.

"At the celebration banquet, I also met Miss Su."

"Pa", the sound of a fan closing behind him, Su Jinluo knew who was coming.

"Brother Emperor," Xu Yushan said with a gentle smile, "I happened to be playing nearby, and I rushed over immediately when I heard the news. Were you injured in the Zuixianlou incident?"

At the critical moment, Xuanyuan Yun finally found an opportunity to express his feelings, but was forcibly interrupted by him. Naturally, he had no good attitude on his face, and said with a dark face, "I don't remember that there is such a royal brother as you."

"The lanterns are being sold in front, go and have a look, the stalls are almost closed anyway."

Xu Yushan lightly changed the topic.

Su Jinluo seemed to have grasped at straws, nodding his head repeatedly and quickly followed, even if Xuanyuan Yun was reluctant, he could only chase after him with his hands behind his back.

A lot of people crowded in front of an ordinary stall selling lanterns. Su Jinluo looked up and saw an old man in linen clothes showing the lanterns he made to everyone.

"This is something that can be suspended in the water to pray. It only costs five cents a piece. You can't buy it at a loss or be fooled! Everyone, come and see!"

The lantern has midsummer lotus, silver peony, Venus and snow waves... all kinds of flower patterns are tied so lifelike, no wonder it sells well.

Xu Yushan asked, "Do you want it?"

"Ah."

Su Jinluo nodded.

"Then three will come."

Xu Yushan took out copper coins, counted fifteen coins and handed them over.

Xuanyuan Yun looked very puzzled, he never brought silver ingots when he went out, and every time he directly asked his subordinates to give silver ingots, this was the first time he saw someone count the money for the past.

The lavish Xuanyuan Yun could not understand what he did, but because of Su Jinluo's presence, he tolerated it.

"No, here you are." Xu Yushan gave Su Jinluo one first, and then passed it to Xuanyuan Yun, "Brother Huang, this is only for you."

"No need."

Xuanyuanyun didn't want to pick it up, and Xu Yushan just made a show, turned around and handed it to Qiuchun.

Then he said: "Let's go to the river to pray, Brother Huang, do you want to follow along?"

Xuanyuan Yun squeezed out the word "um" from between his teeth, with a particularly unhappy expression, but Xu Yushan had no eyesight at this time and pretended not to see it at all.

Walking towards the bridge, there are too many lanterns floating on the river, as complicated and bright as stars, and like little fireflies in the dark night, it is very beautiful.

Xuanyuan Yun said: "When the lantern reaches the downstream, it will be salvaged and thrown away, so making this wish seems a bit of a joke?"

He wanted to say it was useless, but Xu Yushan nodded in agreement, saying: "Brother Huang is right, but letting go is just a wish, and it is harmless."
