Chapter 163 Watching Fireworks
Zhao Lan and Hua Ping looked at each other, and the young lady's eyes almost said, "You two are in the same group!"
Hua Ping turned his eyes away and thought to himself, they are indeed in the same group. An hour ago, he went to Mr. Shen for help and asked him to mobilize people to retrieve the things that were stolen from Su Ji. It was Mr. Shen who had been eating Su Ji's food all the time, so it was time for him to contribute.
At the end of the year, in order to ensure that everyone celebrates together, the Imperial City Division, the Five Cities Military Division, and the Jingzhao Yin Patrol, who were responsible for the safety of the capital, were already working overtime. Without saying a word, Mr. Shen used his connections and quickly found the three Shi brothers who were about to sell the stolen goods.
Just as Hua Ping was leaving, Zhao Lan came out of the palace and took a detour to visit the Investigation Office. He happened to meet Hua Ping who was going out to pick up Su's things. Dr. Su was the teacher of Prince Zhao, so of course he told Zhao Lan about this matter, hoping that he would not blame him.
What he didn't expect was that just as he went to claim Su Ji's lost property, Prince Zhao arrived at Su Ji right after.
What is the master doing? Is he greedy for his credit?
Hua Ping was so hungry that he lost the ability to think. He smelled the smell of mutton in the air and was about to open his mouth to ask Mother Dong to make him a bowl of rice. Zhao Lan asked, "Where are the Shi brothers imprisoned?"
"The Jingzhao Yin Yamen."
"Has it been tried?"
"without."
Hua Ping thought the young prince's question was strange. The prisoner was not a special one. Besides, it was New Year and there was no one in the yamen. Who would try such a street scoundrel?
Zhao Lan turned around and said, "Send someone to interrogate them and find out why these three people dared to rob Su's things."
Santai took the order, walked out the door and disappeared into the night.
Zhao Lan looked at Su Ruojin: "Very soon."
All the things have been recovered, and the rest is the government's business. Su Ruojin is not in a hurry and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, little prince. There is no hurry. Otherwise, you can go back and rest first!"
"It's still early." Zhao Lan seemed to be thinking about something and asked, "Feng Le Tower will have fireworks tonight. Why don't I take you to watch the fireworks? By the time the fireworks are over, the results of the interrogation will probably be out."
Everyone was stunned by the young prince's words!
Hua Ping: Young Prince, you tricked the teacher's daughter into watching the fireworks. Does Dr. Su know about this?
Mother Dong: Don’t be anxious, young lady! What do you mean, young prince?
Mao Ya was surprised. She didn't understand what was happening.
Chunxiao and Qiuyue looked at each other. It turned out that they were not abandoned by the young prince. Instead, they were placed next to the important young lady. Could it be... They were so excited that they didn't dare to think further.
Shu Tong: ...No, he was the one who brought the Second Lady out, so he should be responsible for bringing her back!
Su Ruojin's true self: ...
What kind of style is this? Why is waiting for the interrogation results coupled with watching the fireworks? Didn’t she say that she is not in a hurry, and she can just let the government know when the interrogation results are out!
Su Ruojin thought so, but asked in a mysterious way, "Are the fireworks beautiful?"
After she finished asking the questions, she stamped her feet in anger. She had seen all kinds of fireworks in modern times, so why went to ancient times to see them? It was freezing cold outside, and she just wanted to go home, crawl into bed and sleep!
Zhao Lan smiled, "Of course."
It’s so cold, brother, she really doesn’t want to go!
Seeing the young lady struggling and wavering, Zhao Lan smiled, took the cloak from Chun Xiao, and put it on the young lady himself, "Let's go!"
Uh…when did she agree!
Prince Zhao's long arms seemed to be pulling her forward, but in fact he only loosely put his arms around her back. Perhaps because she was afraid that he would really put his arms around her shoulders, Su Ruojin subconsciously moved forward to avoid him, but she was not even aware of this action.
It was not until she got on Zhao Lan's carriage that she woke up in shock. What on earth had bewitched her to make her follow this young man to watch the fireworks without realizing it? It seemed a bit absurd to think about it!
Shu Tong who was abandoned at the door of Su Ji: ...How long does he have to wait!
There were many restaurants in the center of Bianjing City, and the streets were busy with traffic, making it a gorgeous and prosperous place.
The carriage stopped and Mao Ya, Chun Xiao and Qiu Yue got off first.
Su Ruojin was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Lan. She turned her head away in confusion.
"Wait a moment."
She just stopped moving.
Zhao Lan got off the horse, turned around and waited at the door of the carriage, and stretched out his arms to the inside of the carriage, "Come here."
Why did he...carry her out of the car? Su Ruojin looked at Mao Ya behind Zhao Lan and motioned her to come over.
But Mao Ya was just a little girl, how could she dare to ask the young prince to leave? She pursed her lips and dared not move.
Su Ruojin was very puzzled as to why Zhao Lan had become so strange after not seeing him for half a year. However, there were so many people coming and going at the entrance of the restaurant that it would be awkward for people to wait there, so she had no choice but to go forward and let him hold her ribs with both hands while getting off the carriage.
What a strange little prince! Su Ruojin was puzzled for only three seconds before she was attracted by the magnificent Fengle Building. The lights were on at night, and there were songs and dances everywhere. The whole building was full of light and was prosperous and beautiful.
It turns out that the nightlife in ancient times was so lively and prosperous. In a blink of an eye, Su Ruojin forgot about the warm bed and walked into the first floor of Dayin Dynasty unknowingly.
Zhao Lan took a step forward and held her hand.
Su Ruojin turned her head, "Young Prince..." She tried to break free.
He leaned sideways and said, "I'll take you up the special staircase."
Then don't hold my hand! The young man's slender palm wrapped around her small hand, and he felt like both a father and a brother. It was so strange.
"I'm already nine years old." It means I don't want you to support me.
"But I want to be a brother for once."
The young nobleman, like a gentle and steady little man, bent down and waited patiently for her consent. His face was like white moonlight, eyes like stars, and a bright smile, showing his little puppy temperament.
She looked again at the hand that was tightly held by Prince Zhao. Even if she disagreed, he would not let go!
"Sister doesn't have to rely on her brother to support her!" Su Ruojin raised her head and smiled brightly, but still refused.
Zhao Lan's smile instantly turned into a lost smile, as if he reluctantly let go.
She looked innocent on the outside, but she was actually very nervous inside. If Zhao Lan had insisted on supporting her regardless of her wishes, she would probably have turned around and ran out of Fengle Building. Fortunately, he let go.
She smiled brightly, "Brother Zhao, let's go up and watch the fireworks."
"good."
A Jin finally stopped calling him "Little Prince", Zhao Lan smiled again, and took the young lady to the top floor - the fifth floor.
Traveling back to the Dayin Dynasty, every year, ordinary people could only stand in their own yards and find a vantage point to watch the fireworks flying in the sky inside and outside the imperial city. Today, Su Ruojin, thanks to Zhao Lan, watched the fireworks blooming from a high place for the first time.
One by one...one cluster by one cluster...one piece by one piece...as bright as a sky full of stars!
So beautiful!
But this body was only nine years old after all, and it was probably past ten o'clock. She yawned repeatedly and turned around to ask, "Little Prince, I want to go home!"
Just as Zhao Lan was asking the young lady to wait a moment, Santai walked into the private room with a chill in his eyes.
"Sir, the Shi family's boss confessed that someone paid him to rob the Su's steam oven."
Zhao Lan raised his eyes, no longer as gentle as he had been in front of the young lady, but now fierce, waiting for his men to tell him one by one.
Santai continued, "I had someone find that rascal, and he confessed after being severely beaten up."
"who?"
