C81 Only an Idiot Would Shout Loudly When Doing Something Bad!

Consort Lin saw the Crown Prince being held hostage and pretended to be scared. “This person is really Canglan’s assassin. Kill her quickly!”

The Emperor panicked. “No one is allowed to move!” He looked at the female assassin. “Don’t touch the Crown Prince. Just tell me what you want.”

The two sides were in a stalemate. Lan Qingqian looked at the Crown Prince’s teary eyes and started to get anxious.

“You’re not Canglan’s assassin!”

Everyone’s eyes were on Lan Qingqian. She pointed at her sword and said, “The assassins of Canglan all have red dots on their swords. You don’t have any!” She sounded very serious, as if she really knew what she was talking about.

The female assassin subconsciously looked at her sword and was distracted. Gu Jun’an took off the pearls on her clothes and hit the female assassin’s hand.

The female assassin felt the pain and her sword slipped. The Fourth Prince was close to her and kicked her, so the Crown Prince was able to escape.

The Empress rushed over and held the Crown Prince. Her eyes were red.

“It’s mother’s fault. It’s mother’s fault. I didn’t protect you well!” She held his neck and looked carefully. “Are you hurt?”

The Crown Prince was so scared that he started to cry…

No matter how powerful the female assassin was, the Fourth Prince’s martial arts was already good, and with Gu Jun’an, the female assassin was captured in just one move.

The guards pressed down on the female assassin. She looked up in disbelief. “How do you know I’m not from Canglan?” Her moves and sword were all imitated from Canglan.

Lan Qingqian said, “Only an idiot like you would believe me. I lied to you. If you were really from Canglan, would you have looked down at me if I said that the sword was fake?”

The female assassin pursed her lips. She didn’t expect that she would fall for a little girl’s trick.

The female assassin was taken away and the banquet didn’t continue. The imperial doctor was already waiting outside to treat the Empress.

However, the Crown Prince was so scared that he kept grabbing onto the Empress’ clothes and crying. Lan Qingqian could only go over and pull his hand, “Don’t be scared, the bad guys were taken away. Come with me, I will protect you. The Empress is bleeding, she will die if she blesse too much.”

The Crown Prince was scared and he became obedient. He stood up and followed Lan Qingqian to the side to help the Empress bandage her wounds.

The Emperor let out a sigh of relief and patted the Fourth Prince’s shoulder, “It’s all thanks to Fourth and Seventh Prince this time.”

The Fourth Prince bowed, “Thank you, Brother Emperor.”

The Second Prince said meaningfully, “That’s right. The Emperor is blessed by the heavens. The assassin was caught too.” However, he felt sorry for the Crown Prince. It would have been great if the assassin had killed the Emperor!

Lan Qingqian was comforting the Crown Prince, “Don’t cry, it’s okay. Your head is still growing. Your mother didn’t cry even when she bled!”

The Emperor half squatted and held the Crown Prince in his arms, “It’s my fault. I didn’t protect the Crown Prince well.”

Prince Gu was in the Emperor’s arms. Lan Qingqian tilted her head slightly and looked at him. She seemed to have thought of something. There was sadness in her eyes.

Prince Gu said to her, “Come here!”

Lan Qingqian stood beside him silently.

The Emperor held the Crown Prince and said, “Ninth Princess is really smart. How did you tell that she was not Canglan’s assassin?”

“Only a fool would scream and tell others that he did something bad!” There was a tsundere tone in her voice.

If she did something wrong, she would hate to hide herself well. She would not tell others loudly.

When Prince Gu heard her words, the corner of his mouth curled up.

These words of the little girl were undoubtedly slapping the faces of most people present.

Prince Gu was not affected. He immediately went out to take the little girl to see the river lanterns.

Looking at the four or five floating river lanterns, Lan Qingqian wanted to reach out and pull them. “Why do you put so many river lanterns in the water?”

“It’s a tradition in the West Province. During the most important festival of the year, the Lantern Festival, a river lantern will be put up to make wishes. Legend has it that the River God heard that it could help people make wishes.”

“Wow! Then I will also put one. No, I want to put a lot of them!”

Prince Gu could feel her greed. He was helpless. “I can only make one wish!”
