The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

On another busy street, Lu Shian and Ye Qiandai were walking side by side among the crowd.

One of them was wearing a white gauze dress, and the other a black brocade robe. Their stunning looks, reflected by the bright lanterns in the sky, made them look like fairies who had come down from heaven to attend the lantern festival, attracting countless passers-by to stare at them.

"Is the Lantern Festival in your country also like this?" Lu Shian chatted with her as they walked.

Ye Qiandai shook her head slightly, "It's not as lively and spectacular as this place."

"Well, the Lantern Festival is a day for family reunion. Do you... miss home?" Lu Shian asked cautiously.

Ye Qiandai smiled and shook her head, "No, with you by my side, I don't want anything else."

Lu Shian looked at her, sighed softly, and said nothing.

How great would it be if she was really Qing'er?

As she was walking, Ye Qiandai suddenly stopped, looked at a lantern stall beside the road, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I also want to fly a Kongming lantern."

Lu Shian nodded, “Well, let’s go buy it.”

The two came to the stall and saw that there were not only colorful Kongming lanterns, but also several brushes and some long strips of paper.

Ye Qiandai immediately saw what it was used for, and pointed at the paper and pen and asked the boss happily: "Boss, this paper and pen are for writing wishes and then putting them into the Kongming lantern, right?"

The boss was a kind old man. He smiled and agreed to her question: "Girl, you are smart. You are here to write wishes. Would you like to buy one?"

"Yes!" Ye Qiandai agreed, and said to Lu Shian while writing, "I'll write a wish, and you pay, just buy one."

"Okay~" Lu Shian took out a coin from his waist and handed it to the old man, then glanced at the note she wrote with interest.

Ye Qiandai was startled, and quickly reached out to cover his eyes, "You are not allowed to look."

"Oh? Why is that?" Lu Shian asked curiously without taking her hand away.

Ye Qiandai bit her lip and thought for a moment before answering, "You are not allowed to read it. There are rules in my country. If a written wish is seen by others, it will become ineffective."

Lu Shian smiled and turned away obediently, "Okay, I won't read it, you write it."

"Well, don't turn it over." Ye Qiandai reminded him again worriedly. After making sure that he couldn't see it, she picked up the pen again and started writing on the paper attentively.

After a while, she put the brush on the table and blew on the paper full of words. After the ink was dry, she folded the paper and rolled it up, then patted Lu Shian on the shoulder.

"I've finished writing it, please turn it over."

Lu Shi'an turned around as he was told and didn't ask any more questions. He looked at the stall in front of him for a while, then picked up a green Kongming lantern with bamboo leaves printed on it and handed it to her.

"Is this one okay? It's the green color and bamboo leaves you like."

"Okay, I like it." Ye Qiandai smiled like a flower.

"Let's go." Lu Shian took the fire starter handed to him by the boss and led Ye Qiandai out of the stall.

The two came to an arched bridge. Ye Qiandai tied the written note to the wire at the bottom edge of the Kongming lantern, then arranged the Kongming lantern and held it high. She smiled and said to Lu Shian, "Light it up."

"Okay~" Lu Shi'an obeyed, took out a fire starter, blew out a flame, and lit the cotton dipped in alcohol in the Kongming lantern.

A small flame shot out, and the Kongming lantern instantly swelled up as if it was blown up, like a big light bulb.

Ye Qiandai's eyes curved with smile and she slowly loosened her hands.

The Kongming lantern lived up to her expectations and carried her wishes up into the sky, flying higher and higher, and farther and farther.

The two of them looked up and watched the lights going further and further away, with smiles on their faces. The romantic atmosphere made the air around them sweet.

They didn't know that in a dark corner not far under the bridge, several men in black had already been secretly watching them.

"Boss, shall we take action?" a man in black asked the masked man in the front in a low voice.

The masked man looked around and answered in a low voice, "Go ahead, remember this, all swords and sabers are aimed at the Imperial Concubine, and the Emperor must not be harmed in the slightest.

"If not, the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister will have our heads!"

"What if the emperor tries his best to protect Ye Qiandai? The emperor has been practicing martial arts since he was young and is also a master. It will be difficult for us to display our skills." Someone raised a concern.

The masked man waved his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. We have more people. No matter how powerful the emperor is, he can't be a superhuman. He can only block two or three people, but it's impossible for him to block every attack.

"The Emperor protects her very closely in the palace, so it's hard for the Queen Mother and the others to take action. This time they leave the palace, which is a great opportunity. We must succeed, understand?"

"understand!"

After watching the Kongming lantern disappear into the night, Lu Shian retracted his gaze, looked at Ye Qiandai and asked softly, "What else do you want to play? There are riddles in the lanterns on the roadside. Shall we go and guess the riddles?"

Ye Qiandai nodded in agreement, and Furong's face was filled with happiness, "Okay, as long as I can be with the emperor, I am willing to do anything."

Lu Shian smiled, took her wrist and walked under the bridge.

Ye Qiandai looked down at his hand held on her wrist, feeling indescribable mixed feelings in her heart.

She has been in the palace for half a month, and this man really dotes on her and responds to her every request.

All the food and supplies were the best sent to her. I had three meals a day at her place and went to her residence every night.

Outsiders only said that the Imperial Noble Consort was favored and that the Emperor visited her every night, but what they didn't know was that he had never let her sleep with him, and he had never even had the slightest physical contact with her.

Even when they held hands naturally, he just held her wrist through her sleeve.

In the past, when he was with her, the most thing he did was to listen to her playing the pipa, chat with her, or quietly watch her sad face.

At night, no matter how late it was, he would not stay at her place.

She knew that he didn't love her, and that he was nice to her only because she was similar to his sweetheart.

But she should be happy, right?

As the two were walking, Lu Shian's ears suddenly moved, and he seemed to hear countless chaotic and rapid footsteps getting closer and closer.

He was startled and immediately stopped and looked back.

Seeing this, he was shocked and pulled Ye Qiandai into his arms.

What caught my eye was a large group of masked men in black. There were about 40 or 50 of them, all holding sharp weapons, with agile bodies and extremely fast steps, and murderous intent in their eyes.

There was no one else around, and their target was obvious.

Ye Qiandai also discovered them. Her little face turned pale with fear and she cried out in terror, "Your Majesty!"

"Don't be afraid." Lu Shian comforted her, holding her hand tightly and admonishing her, "Don't leave my side no matter what, do you hear me?"

"I heard it!" Ye Qiandai answered in a trembling voice, her delicate hands tightly grasping his arm.
