Ghostly Masked Prince Xiao: Pampering and Spoiling the Little Adorable Consort

(133) Conspiracy Spun like Colored Lantern

"What do you want to do? If someone paid you to do this, this prince vows to give you three to ten fold the amount you got." Xiao Ran ignored his action and calmly negotiated with him.

The killer wearing the clothes of a eunuch laughed coldly. "Money has no attraction with regards to me. Fourth Prince, you should just close your eyes and properly enjoy the feeling of being at death's door!" Raising that long sword, he aimed toward his chest and was about to stab down.

Xiao Ran eliminated the first possibility. This person wasn't a hired killer, rather a secret guard dispatched by someone to kill him!

Xiao Ran looked at that sharp sword and bit his teeth, when it was about to land, he gathered his strength and rolled toward the side.

The sword came up empty, that killer immediately became somewhat impatient. They had already come out for some time, if he didn't complete the mission at the earliest time, maybe those people would become suspicious.

As a result, he began to speed up his actions, with one move, he appeared in front of Xiao Ran and ruthlessly hacked toward Xiao Ran.

Because it was Mid-autumn festival night, every household hung up red lanterns, to welcome the days that came after. Red fire gave off circle after circle of light.

There were even people who arranged colored lantern exhibits and wrote all kinds of riddles on them, asking people to guess at the riddle. As long as you guess it correctly, he'll give you that lantern.

When Chu Qing-Yan's horse carriage passed by this, Chu Qing-Yan's attention was already attracted by those strangely shaped multi-colored lanterns.

"Big Block of Ice, I want to stroll among the colored lanterns." First time being so close to ancient people's customs, Chu Qing-Yan's curiosity was aroused.

Xiao Xu had always been a do as he wishes person, but just had never run into a suitable partner.

Now with the little guy's suggestion, he asked people to stop the horse carriage.

Chu Qing-Yan who had gotten off the horse carriage, urged Xiao Xu wearing an official's hat. Afterwards, she drilled in among the crowd.

And Fire Spirit who saw this immediately followed behind, protecting little consort so she doesn't get lost.

By the time Xiao Xu had walked to her side, she had already started to guess at the riddles.

With no personal opinions, guess one word.

Looking at the riddle on the paper, Chu Qing-Yan thought a bit, and guessed what it was. "The character present in current moment."

"Congratulations to the Miss, you guessed correctly! This rabbit lantern is for you." the vendor's boss enthusiastically handed the lantern to her.

Chu Qing-Yan accepted the rabbit lantern and hugged it, filling her arm and smilingly said. "This is for my daddy, he really likes rabbits."

The vendor boss took a glance at Xiao Xu standing at Chu Qing-Yan's side. He really couldn't imagine this full of icy air person liking such a cute animal as a rabbit. But he still cheerfully said. "Looks like your daughter is very filial to you ah. This master is really fortunate ah!"

Once the vendor said these words, Fire Spirit turned his head and spurt out a laugh. And Earth Spirit also painfully choked back a laugh.

"Big Block of Ice, do you appear very old?" Chu Qing-Yan said, making fun of him.

Xiao Xu suppressed his moodiness silently, and said to Chu Qing-Yan with her cheeks puffed up not daring to laugh. "Prepared to leave?"

Chu Qing-Yan immediately stood straight and seriously, shaking her head to say. "Big Block of Ice, I haven't given you one, you wait a bit."

Looking for quite a while, Chu Qing-Yan selected a carousel lantern. Afterwards, she asked for the riddle from the vendor.

This flower since ancient times no one would pick. Every winter it would open. Without roots, without leaves, it was really strange. Spring wind would blow it to reverse directions.

Chu Qing-Yan felt this riddle wasn't hard, immediately said the answer.

The vendor handed the carousel lantern to her, and didn't forget to praise her to Xiao Xu. "Your family's daughter is very smart!"

Xiao Xu's face blackened, he pulled Chu Qing-Yan to walk out.

Earth Spirit and Fire Spirit were somewhat at a loss. Didn't master want to raise the little consort like a daughter? How come having this said by others he suddenly wasn't happy?

When they arrived in front of the carriage, Chu Qing-Yan wanted to gift the lantern in her hand to Big Block of Ice. Suddenly, a police squadron ran over and surrounded them.

Chu Qing-Yan took back her hand and stood by Xiao Xu's side, somewhat at a loss.

The head of these people was highest ranked imperial bodyguard Liu Nuo. One only saw him walk out and cup his hands toward Xiao Xu. "Your Highness Prince Ying, just now Fourth Prince was attacked by an assassin. You are the most suspicious person of interest. His Majesty has given an order, please follow this subordinate and make a trip to the palace."
