Yun Shang was shocked and angry. She looked in the direction where the voice came. Regardless of anything else, she called out the secret guards and jumped over with them.
Before they reached that place, they saw several other figures jumping up from the crowd and standing on the top of the willow nearby.
They were Luo Qingyan and his secret guards.
Yun Shang felt relieved.
Luo Qingyan took Yun Shang over and transferred Yun Shang and the secret guards to a quiet alley nearby.
Even though there were several walls, the sound could still be heard faintly. Someone was still shouting, "His majesty is assassinated. Protect his majesty."
Yun Shang frowned and looked at Luo Qingyan, "What happened?"
Luo Qingyan shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'm not assassinated at all. When I'm answering the riddles, I heard someone shouting. Then the people around me began to run away. There were too many people. I couldn't get out."
"So, your majesty wasn't assassinated?"
"Yes."
Yun Shang frowned more tightly, "Then what happened just now? Is there someone deliberately spreading rumors and creating chaos? "
"Maybe."
The two of them looked at each other and found that this matter was very suspicious.
Luo Qingyan thought for a moment, turned around and ordered the secret guards, "go over there and ask what happened."
The two secret guards answered and left.
Yun Shang frowned and said, "if it's just to create chaos, what's the purpose? And does the person who created chaos know that we are here? "
"It should be just a coincidence. Even the servants around us don't know that we left the palace. We didn't tell anyone. We just came out on the spur of the moment with our secret guards."
"Along the way, the secret guards didn't find anyone following us. We just picked the street randomly, and the chance of being found is very small. "
Yun Shang nodded, "if they don't know we are here, you are not here for us."
The two of them looked at each other. They really didn't understand what they wanted to do by creating such a chaos.
"Is it just to destroy the lantern show and spread rumors, causing people to panic?"
"Saying that I was assassinated could indeed create a moment of panic, but as soon as I appeared tomorrow, the rumor will be broken, right?"
Yun Shang thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they have another plan tomorrow?"
"Maybe when you appear in the court tomorrow, they will say that you are a fake?"
“……” Luo Qingyan turned to look at Yun Shang, "it's not difficult to prove whether or not I'm a real one."
Indeed.
Then Luo Qingyan turned around and ordered the secret guards, "Go back to the palace and tell Liu Wenan that I've gone out of the palace with her majesty. I was so happy that I got drunk outside the palace. Ask Liu Wenan to prepare honor guards and take us back to the palace."
The secret guard answered and flew towards the palace.
"Send a few more people to the place where the flow of people is more concentrated in the city to check if there is any rumor about what happened just now. If there is, investigate it carefully and report it to us."
"Yes."
Yun Shang blinked and looked up at Luo Qingyan. "Aren't we going back to the palace now?"
"No, I've already come out. How can I just go back without a reason? Let's have a good time. Come with me to get the lantern king. Let's look around and see if you have anything to buy. Don't you want to bring a lantern back to Chengye? Let me accompany you to choose one. "
Yun Shang lowered her eyes and smiled. He was surprisingly persistent in the lantern king.
Since Luo Qingyan had said so, Yun Shang had no reason to refuse. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you. We can't be separated again. I was scared just now."
Luo Qingyan nodded and said, "I was also shocked. We won't be separated. Let's go together."
Then the two of them walked out of the dark alley. Because of the fight just now, the people around the stalls were much fewer.
The vendor still remembered Luo Qingyan. When he saw Luo Qingyan coming with Yun Shang, he glanced at the two of them and smiled, "Are you here to get the lamp?"
"Yes." Luo Qingyan nodded, "There are still two riddles. You can read them. If I give you the right answer, give me this lamp."
