Chapter 40: Blood-Stained Lantern Riddles

"One jar, two mouths. Only holds fire, not wine. Guess some daily necessities." Panta muttered while looking at a blue lantern.

Nangong Mei raised a slight smile on her lips and said, "It's a lantern."

Panta glanced at Nangong Mei hesitantly, reached out and took off the lantern, took out the answer and read: "Lantern." She looked at Nangong Mei with a smile and said, "Mei'er, you are so smart."

Nangong Mei smiled and said nothing, moved her eyes to another lantern, and said: "One small red date cannot be filled in a room. As soon as the door is opened, the dates will run out. Guess the daily necessities." Nangong Mei was slightly troubled.

, I read another article about the words on the lantern and started thinking about it.

Luo Si walked to Nangong Mei and said softly: "It's an oil lamp."

Nangong Mei suddenly thought of it, and raised her eyes with some joy, but she happened to meet Luo Si's gentle eyes. She turned her head away, moved her gaze to another lantern, and said: "The two of them have fourteen hearts.

One word?"

"The word virtue." A discordant voice rang out, and the queen was seen standing aside arrogantly, "The foundation of a country is to convince people with virtue. This is a very good idea."

Nangong Mei frowned slightly, looked at Luo Si and said, "Let's go over there! Queen, don't follow us, just guess the riddle here!" After saying that, she took Luo Si's hand and walked aside.

"You..." The queen was about to follow, but when she heard Luo Si's cold voice, she froze in place and did not dare to take another step forward.

Because of that woman's words, Luo Si ordered her to stand there and wait so coldly! Her heart became so cold!

Nangong Mei pulled Luo Si far away in one breath before stopping. She looked angrily in the direction behind her and said dissatisfied: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have brought that woman out! What a disappointment!"

Luo Si looked at Nangong Mei's childish behavior in amusement, and felt very happy. He said softly: "Then I will never let her follow her out again!" Although she is his real wife, she is the mother of a country in Huihe Kingdom.

, but to him, Nangong Mei’s smile is much more important than the mother of a country!

Nangong Mei seemed to suddenly notice something. She grabbed Luo Si's hand and immediately let go, trying to pull it back. However, Luo Si would not let her go so easily. He grabbed her slender jade hand with his backhand and held it tightly.

.

He walked closer to her, looked at her tenderly with his dark eyes, and said softly: "Hangge... give me a chance, okay?" The supreme emperor was praying.

Nangong Mei's hand that wanted to withdraw became weak. She looked at his obsessed eyes, feeling a faint pain in her heart, but she couldn't bear it anymore.

He has always given her all his good things, but she only hurt him cruelly. She is unworthy of him!

Panta had never practiced martial arts and was of an ordinary person's physique. He managed to keep up with Nangong Mei and the others, but was already out of breath. However, when she just arrived here, she saw their affectionate gazes, and his uncontrollable affection! It was too late!

She took a breather to rest. The severe pain from her heart had spread to every cell in her body. Her sharp nails dug into the flesh of her palms unknowingly, causing blood to flow out.

Nangong Mei and Luo Si sat on the bridge together and looked at the flowing river. There were many women by the river. They placed paper boxes and lotus flowers with candles on the river, made wishes, and then watched them float away in the water.

On the wide river surface, dots of bright lights lit up the entire river, growing from a few to more, converging into a river of light.

Nangong Mei always kept a certain distance from Luo Si, her eyes always stayed on the bright candle, and she never glanced at Luo Si.

Luo Siduo wanted to hug Nangong Mei and admire the light of the river, but he didn't want Nangong Mei to even sit next to him. He just sat beside her peacefully. When she looked at the river, he was deeply moved.

Staring deeply at her beautiful face.

This face is where his heart belongs!

"Your Majesty, the Queen is injured. Go and have a look!" The Queen's personal maid ran over and knelt down in front of Luo Si, crying.

Luo Si frowned and asked coldly: "How could he be injured?" He was not worried about the queen's injury, but that the appearance of this maid disturbed him from being with her!

"Just now, many men in black suddenly emerged from the place where we were guessing lantern riddles. They started slashing and killing us indiscriminately. There were so many of them that our guards couldn't resist them, and the queen was slashed! The queen, she

...She lost a lot of blood... Wuwu... She kept crying about you, the emperor, and she wanted to see you, the emperor..." As she said that, the maid was already crying.

Luo Si frowned even more and asked, "Have the men in black retreated?"

"Return……"

"Is there a doctor to treat the queen's injuries?"

"Yes...but the queen just wants to see you, the emperor! Otherwise...she may not be able to survive..." The maid's eyes were red from crying, and she looked at Luo Si sadly, "Your Majesty, I beg you, I beg you, go and see the queen!"

"

Luo Si turned to look at Nangong Mei who was standing aside. He looked embarrassed and called out: "Hange..."

Nangong Mei turned a deaf ear to Luo Si, and just stared at the bright light across the river with blurred eyes, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

Luo Si looked at the maid, then at Nangong Mei, and said, "If you don't want to go, I will stay here with you." In his eyes, there will always be only her!

"Your Majesty!" The maid looked sadly at the heartless Luo Si in front of her, tears welling up in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I beg you! Go and see the Queen! Otherwise the Queen will really not be able to hold on any longer! Your Majesty..."

"That's enough!" Luo Si's impatient voice forced out of his throat, "Go back and take care of the Queen!"

"Your Majesty..." The maid begged Luo Si relentlessly. She couldn't believe that the emperor she admired could be so ruthless!

"Go." Nangong Mei slowly stood up and looked calmly in the direction of the lantern riddle.

Luo Si looked at Nangong Mei infatuatedly. He felt extremely happy for her understanding and called out gently: "Hange..."

Nangong Mei looked at the maid with a faint gaze and said, "Lead the way."

The maid stood up, nodded happily, and walked quickly in the direction she came from.

The place where the lantern riddles were guessed has now become a mess, with blood stains everywhere, and the beautiful lanterns have been trampled into shape.

The ordinary people who were playing have been expelled, and soldiers with neat equipment have surrounded the place for several layers, vowing not to let any ant in or out!

The old eunuch who was standing there waiting saw Luo Si coming back. With tears in his dim old eyes, he rushed towards Luo Si and said in a sharp voice: "My lord! It's so good for me to see that you are okay."

Got it!"

After Luo Si looked around, he asked: "How are the casualties?"

Before the old eunuch could say anything, he was interrupted by Nangong Mei, who asked coldly: "Where is the Queen now?"

The old eunuch looked at Luo Si, then at Nangong Mei, lowered his head and said, "The Queen is in the medical clinic in the alley behind here, and the doctor is treating her injuries." Although the Emperor is the eldest, Nangong

Mei is the emperor's Achilles' heel, and satisfying Nangong Mei is the last word!

"Let's go see the Queen!" As she said that, Nangong Mei walked quickly towards the alley behind without stopping at all.

Luo Si looked at Nangong Mei's back with some confusion. He really couldn't figure out when Nangong Mei, who hated the queen, became so concerned about the queen again? This woman was really confusing to her! He didn't ask any more questions.

The old eunuch followed Nangong Mei in stride.

Outside this small medical clinic, there were guards from the three outer and inner floors surrounding the whole six floors, while the inside of the house was very busy.

Panta had already come here at some point. When he learned that Luo Si and Nangong Mei were back, he hurriedly greeted him. He walked to Nangong Mei worriedly and asked with concern: "You are finally back, are you okay?"

Nangong Mei shook her head gently, stopped at the foot of the stairs, looked at Luo Si and said calmly: "I don't want to see the queen, so I will wait for you here."

Luo Si hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said softly: "I'll be out in a minute." After saying that, he strode in quickly.

Panta nodded to Nangong Mei and followed Luo Si in. When she entered, she turned back and glanced at Nangong Mei with nostalgia.

It's like the feeling of reluctance when parting.

The masters all left, leaving only Nangong Mei standing outside the small medical center surrounded by guards, raising her head and looking at the stars in the sky with obsession.

A guard who was not far away from Nangong Mei walked to Nangong Mei with his head lowered, and said in a low voice: "Ticket to freedom." After saying that, he took out a cold hand with lightning speed.

The dagger was placed on Nangong Mei's pink neck.

An almost invisible light of excitement flashed in Nangong Mei's eyes. With a cold look on her face, she followed him back step by step under the threat of the guard.

"There is an assassin! Protect the empress!" Someone shouted loudly, and the guards guarding outside the small medical center all turned around, drew their swords and surrounded the man who kidnapped Nangong Mei.

"Don't move! Otherwise..." The man finally raised his drooped head, revealing a face with a long scar. He looked ferociously at the guards surrounding him, and gently pushed the knife forward.

, then scratched Nangong Mei’s pink skin, and blood flowed out.

"Don't hurt me!" the guard shouted in panic, not daring to take another step forward.

"Luo Si! You ruined my family! I will take away the woman you love most and make you suffer for the rest of your life! Haha..." The man laughed crazily and pushed Nangong Mei away.

Throwing it diagonally into the air, he followed suit and drew out the long sword from his waist to kill everyone who wanted to fly up to snatch Nangong Mei back.

Nangong Mei flew away. Although she was getting further and further away, she never left the range of the guards who could bring her back. Moreover, guards from other places were still coming.

"Hange..." Luo Si rushed out of the room and saw Nangong Mei flying into the sky. She was like a kite flying into the sky, but sadly, he couldn't feel that he was the one flying into the sky.

The one who holds the line!
