Chapter 70 Are you really willing to give it to me?
Gu Hanzhang's whole body was filled with coldness. He had just silently protected Chao Li from the city to the bank of the Yangtze River, but she didn't know it at all.
Moreover, her expression was not fake, she really felt that he shouldn't be there!
Thinking of this, Gu Hanzhang's face became more and more gloomy.
"Passing by."
The thin lips uttered these two words coldly. Chaoli immediately realized that Gu Hanzhang was angry. He said that he was passing by, which was just an excuse.
Yes, he sent them to Changhe with good intentions, but she didn't know he was there and left him behind.
But Chaoli was also surprised. After all, Gu Hanzhang was with Shen Lianyi in his previous life, but today he actually left Shen Lianyi behind.
Why is this?
Could it be that the two of them had a quarrel?
Chaoli thought about it, stretched out his hand to take the charcoal pen from Qing Yi's hand, and held the river lantern to write his wishes.
As for whether Gu Hanzhang leaves or not, it has nothing to do with her.
The shape of the river lantern is a lotus, but there are not so many layers of petals. It is a little simpler with only two layers. There is a thumb-long candle in the middle, which is also the wick of the river lantern.
As a wish-making river lantern, its petals are used to write down wishes.
Generally speaking, charcoal is used to write wishes on river lanterns.
Charcoal pens are different from writing brushes. The handwriting of the former will not disappear due to contamination by river water. Even if it gets wet, the writing can still be seen.
It is said that if the river lantern reaches the downstream safely from the upstream, if it has not sunk yet, the characters can be read, and the wish can be fulfilled.
Gu Hanzhang was not far from Chaoli. If he wanted to see it, he could just lean over a little and see what was written on Chaoli's river lantern.
However, this seems a bit despicable.
Gu Hanzhang secretly curled his index finger and pursed his lips in silence.
Chaoli didn't know that Gu Hanzhang had so many twists and turns in his heart, and it didn't take long for him to write down three wishes.
"Okay, let's go put out the river lanterns." Chaoli said with a smile, looking around, and then inadvertently moved to Gu Hanzhang, "The prince has not left yet?"
In fact, Chaoli was just a little confused and didn't think too much.
However, when Gu Hanzhang heard these words, Chaoli thought he was an eyesore here and he should leave.
Gu Hanzhang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them.
"Can I lend you a lantern?"
Chaoli was slightly stunned. The reason why Gu Hanzhang and Gu Hanzhang followed them was because of the mandala lantern?
"Why?" Before Chaoli could figure it out, Song Lingxin asked, "Could it be that the Crown Prince is doing it for Miss Shen?"
Fortunately, Song Lingxin asked her doubts, so Chaoli didn't need to ask any more questions.
Gu Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, "No."
Hearing this, a thought quickly flashed through Chaoli's mind, but the thought was too fast and disappeared without a trace before she could catch it.
But it is undeniable that her mood was a little lighter because of Gu Hanzhang's denial. At least Gu Hanzhang did not want this lantern for Shen Lianyi.
After relaxing, Chaoli reached out and took the lantern from Qing Yi's hand. Without saying a word, he handed it directly to Gu Hanzhang.
Gu Hanzhang did not take it immediately, but looked straight at Chaoli.
"Your Majesty, don't you want it?" Chaoli asked.
Since she was so cooperative, there was no reason for her to hesitate when she arrived at Gu Hanzhang's place.
"Are you really willing to give it to me?"
She fell in love with this mandala lantern as soon as she came here. She also took so much trouble to guess the lantern riddles. Don't you like it very much?
Chao Li chuckled, "I can see that the prince will be useful. Besides, the prince guessed the last answer to the riddle, so there's no harm in lending it to the prince."
Gu Hanzhang took it, but at the moment he took it, his hand touched Chao Li's index finger, whether by accident or for some reason.
For a moment, his expression remained normal, but the hand holding the lantern turned a little white, and the place where it touched Chaoli seemed a little hot.
Chaoli also felt the warm touch. She immediately retracted her hand and curled her index finger slightly.
"Your Majesty, just take it and use it first. Let's go put out the river lanterns first."
After saying that, he walked forward towards Li at an extremely fast speed.
Anyone with a sharp eye could see that Chao Li's steps were a little messy and he had lost his usual dignity.
Gu Hanzhang held the lantern in his hand as if he were holding a treasure, and then raised his foot to follow.
Chaoli squatted by the river and put the river lantern into the river together with Song Lingxin.
The river lanterns on the river are dotted like stars in the sky, and each river lantern carries a wish.
A total of eight river lanterns by several people were suspended on the water, slowly flowing downward with the water.
It's a pity that Gu Hanzhang still couldn't see what Chaoli's wish was after all. He really couldn't bear to look at the wishes written by other women.
"A Li, our river lantern will definitely float downstream, and your wishes will come true." Song Lingxin said with a smile.
"Yes, it will definitely come true." Chao Li stared at the distant river lamp thoughtfully.
After putting on the river lantern, Chao Li turned around, only to find that Gu Hanzhang still hadn't left.
Gu Hanzhang's behavior today was a bit surprising. He had been following her for some reason and she didn't know what his plans were.
If it was because of the lanterns, then the lanterns had already been given to him, so he should have left. That would be strange.
However, Chaoli did not ask him.
Their eyes met, and neither of them looked away this time. There were emotions in their eyes that the other could not understand.
Looking at the lantern in Gu Hanzhang's hand, Chaoli's mind suddenly remembered what she had just ignored.
There's something wrong with that lantern!
Chaoli tried hard to recall whether anything related to the prince behind Gu Hanzhang happened after the Lantern Festival of the year he got married in his previous life.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she actually thought of something.
I still remember that on the second day after the Lantern Festival, a big event happened in the court, and it related to King Li.
It is said that one of King Li's capable men did something extremely harmful to the people of Jiangnan. He killed the whole family of a well-known textile family in Jiangnan because of a trivial matter.
A total of forty people were all silenced, and there was a huge commotion in the area.
However, King Li personally took action to suppress the news, so it failed to reach the capital.
However, on the second day of the Lantern Festival, this matter was known to the current emperor, and he even lost his temper with King Li in a rare move.
King Li pushed him to his subordinates, but he was still punished by the Holy Emperor for his lax discipline. He was banned for three months and fined for half a year as a warning to others.
Of course, King Li didn't care about getting a meager salary. The most embarrassing thing was that he was banned for three months and lost the qualification to supervise Chunwei, which greatly damaged his vitality.
The reason why he knew about it now was because the censor handed him a list.
On that list, there were detailed records of all the names of the family members who had been silenced, as well as the time when the thieves took action, and what methods they used.
We even got records of the thieves purchasing those supplies.
Chaoli suddenly lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze on the lantern in Gu Hanzhang's hand. He suddenly thought of many key points.
I was so frightened when I thought about it carefully that Chaoli couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
