Su Xuan raised a smile, and like a trick, he took out the red date candy cake that he had queued up with Gu Wu at the market from his sleeve before, and said, "Oh, princess, I changed your sugar cake for you." ”

Xiao Linglong opened her eyes and saw the sugar cake wrapped in oil paper in Su Xuan's hand, her eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and she hurriedly took it, and when she smelled the unique sweet aroma, she was even more overjoyed, and said, "You have a conscience." ”

"Oh, feed my princess, can't you wait for the nurse!"

As soon as she heard the voice of the nurse behind her, Xiao Linglong's expression changed, and she immediately stuffed the sugar cake into her sleeve, and glanced at Su Xuan before turning back and smiling sweetly at the nurse.

"My ancestor, the fleet of the Long Live Lord will also come in a while, you must be by my side before then, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" The nurse then took Xiao Linglong's hand, didn't notice anything unusual, turned her head and smiled apologetically at Su Xuan, and said, "Young Master, can you go back to King Chen and Princess Chen by yourself?" Or I'll send a few Guards to accompany you......"

"No, no need, I'll just walk back by myself, it's not far." Su Xuan waved his hand and shook his head again and again, looking at their attitude towards Xiao Linglong, he really regarded it as a treasure, he couldn't understand it, such a big child would be fine in front of everyone, why not?

After saying goodbye to Xiao Linglong, Su Xuan walked back to his memory. The child's memory will inevitably be skewed, and it will not take long for him to realize that he is lost.

The surrounding scene seemed to have passed through once before, and the bustling crowd changed again. Su Xuan secretly complained in his heart, he knew that he would not be able to go back by himself.

According to the memory, the position where Su Wan and Xiao Mochen were just now should be the stern of the boat, Su Xuan thought for a moment, and then prepared to detour back to the stern from the side of the boat where the crowd was relatively sparse, so as to avoid affecting his judgment of the direction due to too many people.

There are really fewer people on the side of the boat, because the wind and waves here are fierce, and the bumps are the most severe, only a few people stay for a short time, holding on to the mast to watch the scenery.

Su Xuanxin took a step, and after a while, he moved half the distance, and he just felt happy in his heart, and after turning a corner, he suddenly bumped into a burly figure who was moving forward.

Su Xuan rubbed his forehead in some pain and raised his face, but his expression stiffened. On his head, there was the prince's indifferent and disgusted eyes.

The prince was also very irritable, he had just left the stern of the ship, and wanted to take advantage of the sparsely populated side of the ship to return to the bow of the ship to wait for the arrival of the emperor's fleet, why did he meet this broom star here again?

"Your Highness, I'm sorry, it's my heart, I'll leave." Su Xuan was sorry for it, and wanted to leave from the side, but was stopped by the prince.

"Wait, you bumped into Prince Ben, and you want to leave casually like this?" The prince snorted coldly, put his hands behind his back, and looked at Su Xuan with a sneer.

Su Xuan trembled, the prince's fierce appearance before made him feel worried, and standing here alone at this moment made people feel even more afraid.

Su Xuan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists lightly, and said slowly: "What does the prince want to do with it?" ”

Although he is old, after all, he is from a family, he has a proud backbone, and he is unwilling to bend his knees and beg humbly.

"Tie him up and throw him into the river." Hearing the prince's words, don't be Su Xuan, even the guards behind the prince changed their expressions.

"Your Majesty...... This doesn't seem appropriate, it's winter right now, the river has just broken the ice, and it's still unusually cold, the young master is so thin, I'm afraid I can't stand such a punishment. ”

The chief of the prince's entourage was personally installed by the emperor, and now he stood up and slowly comforted the prince. The other guards kept their mouths tightly closed, knowing that if they lost their words, they would be thrown off the ship.

Su Xuan clenched his fists tightly and looked at the man in front of him in disbelief. It's just a slight physical impact, why is he so vicious?

How did this kid know that the prince was going to target him, but his sister Su Wan, and Xiao Mochen behind Su Wan.

The prince hooked the corners of his mouth, raised a cold playful smile, and said slowly: "Yours makes sense, then don't tie it up, just throw it down." ”

Everyone was stunned, and before they could move, the prince casually pointed to a young guard and said, "Come, throw him down." ”

The corners of the young guard's mouth twitched slightly, Xiao Mochen's cold warning was still in his ears, and he didn't want to do such an unkind and unrighteous thing at all.

"What's wrong? If you stand still any longer, I will now order the slaughter of your house. The prince had a smile on his face one second, and the next he looked as hideous as a monster in an ice cellar.

The young guard was shocked, so he had to take a step to Su Xuan's side, grabbed his shoulder, and lowered his voice: "Offended." ”

Su Xuan didn't have time to react at all, and in the next second, he was rounded by the young guard's arm and pushed directly from the not very high mast.

The icy river enveloped his warm body by the way, and the wide plush cloak floated gently on the water, but his body was floating and sinking, and it looked like it was falling deeper.

Su Xuan was not completely impermeable, but at this moment, soaked in the icy and biting river water, he was as motionless as a puppet with a broken line, and felt that his vitality was gradually draining.

I'm sorry...... Sister......

Su Xuan closed his eyes in despair.

"Look! There's a kid there! Someone saw Su Xuan's floating cloak and shouted in panic.

The prince looked at the river with satisfaction, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go." ”

The guards looked complicated, and their steps were slightly heavy as they slowly walked forward behind the prince. The young guard who left Su Xuan didn't forget to sneak a glance at Su Xuan who was struggling on the river, and prayed in his heart that if he became a powerful ghost, he would not seek revenge on himself.

At this time, Su Wanzheng and Xiao Mochen arrived at the high place at the bow of the boat, watching the artists perform juggling and tricks, and they were in a good mood, so they asked casually: "Where did Xuan'er go?" ”

Xiao Mochen didn't think too much about it, and smiled: "It should be that you are still playing with Linglong, you don't have to worry." ”

Su Wan nodded, and just wanted to continue laughing, when he suddenly heard a shout from the crowd behind the boat: "Oh no, if you go to the river!" ”

Su Wan was stunned when she heard this, her heart tightened for no reason, she frowned slightly, and said to Xiao Mochen, who was also shocked: "Something happened, why would someone fall into the water?" ”

Xiao Mochen shook his head, then squeezed Su Wan's hand tightly with his hand and said, "Wan'er, you wait for me here, I'll go see what's wrong." ”

The Shangyuan Lantern Festival is the top priority of the empire, and the emperor's fleet will also board this tour ship, how can there be such an unfortunate overboard incident.

"I'll go with you."

Su Wan didn't know why she was so flustered, so she ran to the side of the boat with Xiao Mochen, and after seeing the red cloak floating on the water, Su Wan was so frightened that she covered her mouth tightly.

It was Su Xuan's cloak, and she was most familiar with it. It was sewn by herself for Su Xuan before the Chinese New Year, and she hoped that he would be more vigorous and grow up healthily after wearing new clothes.

Now, however, the cloak that contained her infinite anticipation floated like dead wood on the water, and underneath held the fragile life of her brother, whose fate was unknown.

"No!"

Su Wan let out a heart-rending howl, Xiao Mochen was also worried when he heard it, hugged Su Wan, and said comfortingly: "Maybe it's just that the cloak is similar." Then he turned his head and said to Gu Wu: "You quickly send someone down to check." ”

Gu Wu nodded calmly, without hesitation, took off his fox fur coat, and jumped directly from the ten-meter-high ship.

Everyone let out another scream, and Gu Wu didn't stop after falling into the water, and swam straight towards the floating place of the cloak, and grabbed the wind, but his expression changed.

Su Wan's eyes widened in despair, watching Gu Wu hesitate for a moment, and slowly raised the cloak in his hand - it was just a single cloak, and the owner of the cloak no longer knew where it had drifted to.

Su Wan couldn't stand anymore, her legs and feet were weak and she knelt down on Lin, Xiao Mochen also knelt down and hugged Su Wan tightly, rubbed her back and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, maybe it's just that Xuan'er lost his cloak when he was playing, he will definitely be fine." ”

Looking at Su Wan's dejected appearance at the moment, Xiao Mochen's heart felt even more pain like a knife.

Su Wan's heart was full of regret, why couldn't she always be by Su Xuan's side during such an important festival? If Su Xuan had anything to do with it, she would never forgive herself in her life!

At this moment, the Emperor's dragon fleet was slowly approaching the pleasure boat.

The emperor and Ji Qiubai stood side by side on the bow of the boat, talking and laughing while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the lake, at this moment, Ji Qiubai's sharp eyes saw a floating lotus flower and other obvious foreign objects, so he frowned and pointed there and said: "Your Majesty, there seems to be something over there, do you want to send someone to check it." ”

The emperor frowned, and seeing that something was indeed wrong over there, he asked the guards around him to check it.

The guard jumped into the river, and as soon as he approached, he cried out: "Your Majesty, there is a child who has fallen overboard!" ”

The emperor's face changed when he heard this, how could such an unlucky overboard incident occur in such a grand festival and with the honorable kings of other countries beside him? So where does his face go?

Besides, in this cold and frozen world, a child may have been fierce and unlucky, and his life is whimpering, so it is better not to show a terrible death in front of distinguished guests.

Thinking of this, the emperor wanted to open his mouth and let the guards dispose of it at will, but who knew that a shout from Ji Qiubai immediately came from beside him.

"Hurry up!" The emperor's heart trembled, and he secretly blamed Ji Qiubai for being so fond of provoking mildew, so he had no choice but to order: "Don't hurry up and save that child!" ”

The guards immediately received the order, picked up the child in the water, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly returned to the side of the boat and put it on the deck, saying: "Your Majesty, this child has been in a coma for a long time, his heartbeat is weak, and I am afraid that he will not survive." ”

Ji Qiubai hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and his face was suddenly terrifyingly pale. He could see at a glance that the poor boy on the deck who was wet was Su Xuan himself! At this moment, Su Xuan's face was as white as paper, lying motionless on the deck, looking like a lifeless paper man.

"King Chenguo, we have already accumulated good fortune for this child, and saved him from the hardship of being pecked by fish and shrimp, I think, it is better to ......"

When the old emperor saw this, he squeezed these words out between his teeth, and before he could say anything, he was surprised to see Ji Qiubai take off his gorgeous robe and put it on for the boy, and bent down to pick him up, and turned to the maid beside him and ordered: "Clean a houseboat, light the hottest charcoal, and bring a medicine box." ”

The maid nodded again and again, ran over to prepare, Ji Qiubai turned around, glanced at the old emperor apologetically, and said, "Sorry for causing trouble to Your Majesty, but tonight, I have to save this child no matter what." ”

After that, Ji Qiubai hugged Su Xuan in his arms and followed the maid to the houseboat without looking back.

The old emperor stood on the deck with some embarrassment, pinched the Buddha beads in his hand and turned around a few times, and said with some incomprehension: "This king of Chenguo seems to be calm and indifferent day by day, why is he suddenly so concerned about a boy who has fallen into the water?" ”

The entourage prime minister on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know, the king of Chenguo had the experience of traveling to the doctor in his early years, and the parents of the doctor must have been unable to control their desire to treat them when they saw the patients. ”

The old emperor nodded suddenly and chuckled, "It seems that this king of the Chen Kingdom is really interesting." The old emperor tilted his head slightly and continued: "Who is the child who fell into the water?" Looking at the clothes and dressing up like ordinary people, it must be from the family of dignitaries. ”

The reason why this old fox asked this was because he had already observed that the look of pity on Ji Qiubai's face when he first saw Su Xuan was definitely not the look he would have when he first met, it must be someone who had known him before.

It's just that in the empire, that dignitary dares to have such a close relationship with the king of another country?

The entourage prime minister was slightly stunned, then shook his head in distress, and said: "This Weichen can't guess, but he must be a child who fell from the tour ship, if Your Majesty wants to investigate, he can find out tonight." ”

The old emperor bowed slightly, and then ordered the guards beside him: "Go check now." Then he turned his head to look in the direction Ji Qiubai left, revealing a thoughtful smile.

The men and horses sent by the emperor soon set up the boat and came to the side of the tour ship, and after they boarded the ship, Xiao Mochen, who calmed Su Wan a little and stabilized it, frowned and walked up, and said, "Why did you come first, Your Majesty?" ”

Seeing that it was Xiao Mochen, the guard at the head immediately saluted him respectfully: "King Chen, if you return to King Chen, Your Majesty's fleet rescued a boy who fell into the water during the march, and is now being treated by the King of Chenguo, Your Majesty ordered the boarding time to be delayed, and sent me to find out the identity of the boy who fell into the water." ”
