You have to know that the person who lit the bonfire is closest to the explosives, and casualties will be the first to occur to those closest to it.
Su Lijin looked at Xiao Shengxing and asked him what to do.
Xiao Shengxing frowned and shook his head, obviously not knowing what to do.
Xiao Zhaolin took the torch and was about to approach the bonfire.
The situation was urgent. Xiao Shengxing clenched his fists, not yet figuring out how to stop it.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang in the sky, and raindrops as big as beans fell down.
Su Lijin looked up suddenly and said in surprise, "It's raining?!"
Xiao Shengxing looked up, the rain falling on his face, quickly soaking it. He smiled and said, "Indeed."
The rain was so heavy that it instantly extinguished the torch in Xiao Zhaolin's hand, and the bonfire was also soaked.
"Why is it raining suddenly?" He looked grim.
The Queen Mother raised her hands to shield herself from the rain and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and open your umbrella!"
The palace maids and eunuchs were startled by the thunderstorm and stood still. They were stunned by the sudden rain. Upon hearing the words, they hurriedly looked for things to protect their masters.
Everyone scattered to avoid the rain and ran back to their tents.
The bonfire lighting ceremony was hastily interrupted. No one had expected this turn of events. They all looked at the rain, not knowing what to feel.
Su Lijin winked at Xiao Shengxing and said, "It seems that God is helping us."
At this time, the two of them had returned to the big tent and stood in front of it.
Xiao Shengxing nodded, looking at the increasingly heavy rain outside, his eyes relaxed: "Heaven has sent down sweet dew, and it is God's blessing. I really have to thank God."
Seeing the relief in his eyes, Su Lijin also felt relieved.
The two watched the rain for a while, and Su Lijin gradually felt bored, so she walked to the side of the guzheng.
Naturally, the hunting team also brought musical instruments, and the furnishings in the tent were extremely luxurious.
With a wave of the hand and a pluck of the strings, this high-quality guzheng produced clear and beautiful melodies.
"The tone is pretty good." After praising it, she sat down on the stool, raised her hands to the strings, and gently stroked them with her fingers. A melodious tune flowed in the air.
The music is very beautiful, and just one melody is enough to make you intoxicated.
Xiao Shengxing turned around in amazement: "This song is good."
After listening for a while, he took out a jade flute and put it to his lips. After a while, the jade flute's lively and melodious rhythm began to sound.
Soon, the jade flute followed the tune of the guzheng, interweaving harmoniously.
The guzheng is crisp and the jade flute is mellow, so harmonious and beautiful.
Su Lijin couldn't help but look at Xiao Shengxing with admiration.
She didn't expect that Xiao Shengxing could actually keep up with her music and sing along with it without any disobedience, and even increased the interest of the music.
After the song was over, Su Lijin stopped and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is well versed in music, and I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert."
Xiao Shengxing put away his jade flute and said with a smile, "The Queen's guzheng is exquisite. I am sorry to show off my poor performance."
"No, no, no, this concubine's guzheng cannot compare to the emperor's jade flute. The emperor's flute sounds truly sweet and beautiful."
"The Queen is too modest."
For a moment, the two of them actually started praising each other.
"Ahem." Su Lijin felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. She coughed lightly and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any wishes in your heart?"
Hearing this, Xiao Shengxing lowered his head and remained silent.
Thinking she had asked something she shouldn't have, Su Lijin quickly said, "It was my fault for being so reckless."
Xiao Shengxing shook his head, then suddenly looked at her and said, "If I could ignore this country and its people, my dream would be very simple."
"What is it?" Su Lijin raised her eyes.
"I just want to retire to the mountains with my beloved and live a simple life as an ordinary couple." Xiao Shengxing said.
"Is what the emperor said true?" Su Lijin suddenly asked.
"Every word I say is from the heart, no empty words." Xiao Shengxing said solemnly.
When he said this, his dark eyes looked at Su Lijin with a focused expression, as if he was speaking directly to her.
It's like someone in love pouring out their heart, so touching.
Su Lijin's heart began to beat fast. She opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.
The immense shock made her lose her reaction, and the complicated feelings churning in her heart were running rampant in her mind.
She didn't know what to say for a moment.
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder, and the business was deafening.
Su Lijin was frightened and hurriedly hid beside the person in front of her.
In front of her was Xiao Shengxing. Almost at the moment the thunder struck, he had already pulled her into his arms.
With a bang, Su Lijin crashed into the strong chest and was wrapped up completely.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Unable to hear her response, Xiao Shengxing gently patted her back and soothed her softly, "It was just thunder just now. I'll hold you and everything will be fine."
He didn't know how gentle his voice was, it could almost melt people's hearts.
Su Lijin listened, her ears turned red, and her heart melted little by little.
This feeling of being cherished and protected suddenly made her very nostalgic.
"I'm not afraid!" She looked up and glared.
Xiao Shengxing smiled, his handsome eyes filled with doting: "Okay, Jin'er just accidentally hid in my arms."
Embarrassed by his laughter, Su Lijin put her hand over his mouth and said, "Don't say that!"
Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes suddenly grew deep as he stared at her motionlessly.
Su Lijin felt a warm breath in the palm of her hand, and her whole body suddenly felt hot, and her face was red as blood.
Suddenly, Xiao Shengxing lowered his head towards her and moved closer and closer.
Su Lijin: “…”
She widened her eyes and thought to herself, Oh no, what should I do...
But her eyes seemed to be attracted by Xiao Shengxing, unable to move away, and her body was out of control.
