She was originally the Princess of Nanzhao, but due to an unexpected twist of fate, she ended up living among the common folk. Eight years ago, Xiao Nan'an, the Regent of Tianqi, rescued her du...
Chapter 55 Tell father, what happened just now?
Just as everyone was immersed in shock and joy, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted at the top of his voice:
"Look! There's something hanging under the lamp!"
When everyone heard this, they opened their eyes wide and looked carefully with the help of the flickering light of the fireworks.
Upon seeing this, everyone gasped!
There was actually a human figure hanging under the Kong Ming Longevity Lantern. The figure was small and seemed to be a child!
At this moment, Concubine Li Shu's face, which was originally full of smiles, turned pale in an instant. She staggered forward two steps, covered her mouth in fear, and her voice trembled:
"Oh, that child seems to be Ji'er!"
Helian Cong heard this and carefully identified the figure. Seeing that it was vaguely his youngest son, his face changed drastically, his eyes widened, and he shouted loudly:
"Hurry, save them!"
But the Kong Ming Longevity Lantern flew higher and higher, and in the blink of an eye it had risen into the sky, which was impossible to reach with human power.
Xiao Nanyue looked up at the small figure floating in the night sky, standing with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, showing no emotion.
Just when everyone was terrified and at a loss, Helian Feng and Chu Jin separated the crowd.
Chu Jin took a step forward and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, let me come!"
Before he finished speaking, he fired his hands, and two cold lights flashed across the night sky like lightning. They were actually two flying knives, which shot accurately at the rope hanging the child.
The rope snapped with a sound, and the small body fell rapidly from the sky like a kite with a broken string.
At the same time, Crown Prince Helian Feng tapped the ground with his toes and instantly rose up like a blue meteor.
He stretched out his arms in mid-air and caught the person steadily. Then, he turned around a few times in the air and landed gently on the ground.
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately gathered around and took a closer look, and it turned out to be the Sixth Prince Helian Ji!
But at this moment, Helian Ji's face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, and he had already fainted.
"Ji'er, Ji'er!"
Concubine Li Shu rushed over crying, took her son from Helian Feng's hands, hugged him tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
Helian Cong stepped forward quickly, staring at the unconscious Sixth Prince, frowning:
"Quick, call the imperial physician!"
At this time, Chu Jin stepped forward:
"Your Majesty, let me take a look first!"
"Okay, thank you, Imperial Master!" Helian Cong knew that Chu Jin was not only proficient in poison techniques, but also had great medical knowledge, so it would be nice to let him take a look.
Chu Jin slowly leaned over, and gently opened Helian Ji's eyelids with his slender fingers. After a careful examination, he placed three fingers on his wrist, closed his eyes and concentrated on taking his pulse.
Everyone around held their breath and watched quietly.
After a while, Chu Jin raised his head, smiled at Helian Cong, and said firmly:
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince is fine, just frightened. I will give him acupuncture after I see him. He will wake up soon."
When Helian Cong and Li Shufei heard this, their tense nerves relaxed instantly and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, then give him acupuncture as soon as possible!"
Chu Jin took the order and quickly took out a golden needle from his bosom. He found the Baihui acupoint on Helian Ji's head and the Neiguan acupoint on his wrist and inserted the needle accurately.
At this time, Helian Cong raised his eyes and looked at Concubine Li Shu, his face gloomy:
"Shufei, how do you take care of Ji'er?"
Concubine Li Shu was so frightened that her body trembled and tears welled up in her eyes:
"Your Majesty, when I left the palace just now, Ji'er was right beside me. When the fireworks were set off, he was jumping up and down, praising their beauty. Like everyone else, I was immersed in the spectacular spectacle, and the moment I turned around, he was gone! I immediately ordered the palace servants to search everywhere, but I never imagined he'd been hoisted into the sky by a Kongming lantern!"
Helian Cong looked at Concubine Shu's tearful face and softened, but he still scolded her a few times:
"Fortunately, Ji'er is safe and sound. If anything were to go wrong, I would not forgive you!"
Concubine Li Shu was sobbing, not daring to say anything more. She kept wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
At this moment, Helian Ji woke up faintly in his mother's arms. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at everyone timidly. His little face flushed red and his eyes were filled with tears, but he bit his lower lip tightly and said nothing.
Chu Jin saw this and knew that he was speechless due to fear, so he gently slapped him on the back. This slap seemed to open the floodgates of emotions, and Helian Ji cried out and burst into tears.
Concubine Li Shu hurriedly tried to comfort her.
Chu Jin reported to Helian Cong:
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince was merely frightened and is now fine. May I ask how he was carried up into the sky by the Kongming lantern?"
Helian Cong's expression eased slightly, and he turned his gaze towards Helian Ji with a loving expression:
"Don't be afraid, Ji'er. Tell me, Father, what happened just now?"
