Chapter 238: Call Me Sweet Text Expert
Suddenly, all the people in the hall were still enjoying singing and dancing, and they were naturally relaxed, and they were shocked when they were suddenly assassinated!
On the other hand, Qi Jiuzhang and other generals, who had been in the frontier for a long time and had only confronted the rebels before, reacted quickly, stood up immediately, shouted "Guardian", and rushed towards the emperor's seat.
It's just that their rank is not high, the seats are at the back, and they are extremely far away from the emperor and empress. There are many seats in the middle and assassins and tricksters blocking them. It will take a while, but how can there be time?
Even Yun Fenghuang, although he was proficient in bow and horse when he was young, and has been pampered and pampered in the palace for many years, he has long since slacked off.
Even if he realized something was wrong and understood it rationally, his body couldn't keep up, and he just watched the crossbow arrows flying, because the emperor and empress were sitting hand in hand, and Xiao Ban also enveloped her in it!
At the critical moment, it was Chunjia who lived up to his youthful hard work, turned over the imperial case with his backhand, and when the table was full of drinks and dishes, the long case that was one palm thick rolled and blocked all the crossbow arrows!
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he subconsciously touched his waist, only to realize that it was not the eve of his pro-government, and it was time to worry about his life, so when he was feasting, there was no need to hide What sharp weapon is in your body, ready to fight to the death?
"Ah Huang!" Seeing this, Chunjia didn't have time to think, grabbed Yun Fenghuang's sleeve and pulled her up from the banquet, pushed her towards Empress Dowager Yuan, and shouted in a deep voice, "You take your mother and they go first! "
However, he took advantage of the scene of the servants at his side coming up to protect him, and went in the opposite direction!
The emperor knew very well that this assassination was mainly aimed at him. Even if there were still people who rushed to the empress dowager and the prince, the intensity of the assassination was definitely not as violent as that aimed at him.
Therefore, he cannot be with the queen and others!
Yun Fenghuang was pushed staggeringly, and ran towards Empress Dowager Yuan without hesitation, but on the way, she first shouted at Zhaoqing and the others: "What are you doing in a daze? Quickly get out of the way!"
Seeing people's hearts in times of crisis, Chunjia's reaction shows that what he values most in his heart is nothing but the empress and queen mother, and the heirs of the emperors come second.
But to Yun Fenghuang, the life and death of Empress Dowager Yuan is not as important as the children under her knees?
"Your Majesty!" By this time, the ministers finally came to their senses, and while looking at each other, they didn't care about thinking too much, and stepped forward to block the assassin, "Guard! Hurry up! Guarantee!"
It’s just that entering the palace and going to the banquet has to pass through layers of checkpoints. Many courtiers, no matter civil or military, have no weapons at all. They can’t go forward to fight the assassins for a while. They are extremely anxious but helpless. They are still clever courtiers. Picking up the case and throwing cups and plates, it managed to create some confusion for the kingslayer.
In the chaos, the guards guarding outside the hall finally sensed that something was wrong, and entered with their knives.
The courtiers at the gate were overjoyed when they saw this, and hurriedly asked them to escort the king quickly—who knew that the two guards were about to draw their knives and go forward to fight the assassin, but suddenly the tip of the knives appeared from their chests, and they fell down in shock!
Without waiting for those courtiers to react, two strangers dressed as guards appeared behind them, with murderous intent boiling in their brows and eyes, they drew a long knife from their "colleagues", and with a single swing, there was a big head among the dumbfounded courtiers. Bleeding out!
"Among the guards, there are anti-thieves inside!" This exclamation quickly attracted attention. Originally, the internal guards, Yi Guogong and other important officials were waiting to protect Chunjia, the empress dowager and other dignitaries to leave the back hall and hide outside under the protection of the guards. Go, I can't help but be shocked when I hear this!
"Your Majesty, it's true!" A courtier snatched the ceremonial knife and fought in blood, and shouted, "I just saw out of the corner of my eye that the thief killed a supervisory censor, and now he has sneaked into the palace... Please don't do it for now, Your Majesty." Get out of the palace!"
Otherwise, after going out, the guards rushed up, who knows whether it is King Qin or King Killer?
Hearing that the faces of all the ministers and palace family members were pale, Yun Fenghuang held Zhaoqing's hand tightly, and her complexion was also fluctuating. She couldn't figure out what went wrong between herself and Chunjia, even if one or two assassins got in Forget it, how... how could even the imperial guards go wrong? !
How is this possible? !
"Don't go out yet." Chunjia's face sank like water, but she was still calm, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone in the harem obeys the queen's orders, and retreats to the corner, don't come near me!"
Since this vast hall was selected for the particularly grand Mid-Autumn Festival banquet this year, it naturally occupies a very considerable area.
And because the emperor asked for extra grandness, there were many gorgeous furnishings in the hall, with different heights. Together with the original beams and columns, they were both obstacles and shelters. In the chaos, they could barely be used for mediation.
Anyway, it's better than going out rashly and falling into the group of guards who don't know the enemy or us.
Yun Fenghuang didn't wait for the emperor to finish speaking, he pulled Zhaoqing and Queen Mother Yuan to lean against the corner opposite to the emperor.
During this time, she briefly explained to Chen Jing, ordered everyone to block the view of the palace, and asked Princess Changqing, King Yan, King Jin and other heirs to exchange clothes with their personal attendants: "No matter what the result is, I will definitely not treat you badly." you!"
It's just that Princess Zhaoqing is not among them, there is no way, although none of the palace servants chosen to serve the master are ugly, and many of them are even quite beautiful, but it is absolutely impossible to be as beautiful as Zhaoqing.
What's more, the empress's lameness couldn't be concealed at all, but how could a lame palace servant enter this palace to serve her?
Still don't bother.
Over there, Lord Yi and others saw this scene, but they were inspired, and hurriedly persuaded Chunjia to remove the crown, and ordered his eldest son Yun Qike to exchange clothes with Chunjia.
Ignoring these Yunfenghuang, she glanced around and saw that the crown prince was also among the king of Yan and other heirs, her originally gloomy complexion showed a little panic, she squinted her eyes, and exchanged a few words with Chen Jing and other confidants from the Qing Dynasty. A tacit look.
—Is there a better chance than now?
——Today, the prince must be busy!
The assassin's primary target was Chunjia. Although there were also people coming to attack from the harem, they were only a minority. Relying on the desperate cover of a few guards and internal servants, the situation seemed critical, but they barely survived.
Yun Fenghuang held Zhaoqing in one hand, and supported the Empress Dowager Yuan in the other. Seeing that the Empress Dowager Yuan looked anxious, her eyes were only on Chunjia, and she had no time to pay attention to the surrounding area. Under the cover of Yujian, he took a few steps back and happened to stand near the prince.
Then...
Taking advantage of another assassin's approach and the commotion in the crowd, she estimated the distance in her heart, and was about to strike, but who knew, the prince beside her was the first to cry out in pain!
"Bitch, dare you?!" The prince looked at the tip of the blade protruding from between his waist and abdomen, his face was full of horror, and the maid of the palace looked indifferent, and suddenly shouted loudly: "The false prince is dead! The false emperor is dead!" Not to punish?!"
Everyone is terrified!
Even Yun Fenghuang gasped and subconsciously backed away.
"You...cough...coughcough..." The prince obviously didn't expect that he would fall into the hands of such a traitor who didn't know when he had been so careful. He didn't even have time to struggle, his eyes widened, and he It was the murderous gaze that passed over the assassin, and immediately looked at Yunfenghuang, Zhaoqing, King Jin... But there was a very strange look, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he only opened and closed his lips a few times , then fell limply, without breath!
"How dare you kill my brother?!" King Jin reacted quickly, rushed out from the side, held up the embroidered stool, and slammed it down on the assassin!
After all, this is a single assassin, and it was okay if no one knew about it before. Now that he was exposed, he was taken down very quickly. In the chaos, Yun Fenghuang had no time to think about it, and ordered: "Kill it! Lest something change."
At the moment, no one is in the mood to interrogate the confession and can't guard it, so it's better to kill him to save worry and effort.
It was the blade used by the assassin to assassinate the prince, and she held it in her hand, so she finally felt a little safe.
There were many accidents on their side, and dangers abounded on Chunjia's side.
Although most of the courtiers are trying their best to rescue him, and the servants are desperate to protect the emperor, many assassins rely on their sharp weapons and crossbows to make the emperor embarrassed several times. If the people around him are not loyal enough, they may have already seen blood!
This is not the worst!
The most terrible thing is that Yun Fenghuang suddenly smelled a smell, which can't be suppressed by the food and blood in the hall now. She only thought about it for a while, and then she was terrified: "It's gone?!"
"The traitor is setting fire, quick! Stop it!" Soon, shouts from outside confirmed her guess, and the entire palace, centered on banquets, experienced whistling changes!
Just like the water in the palace before, this time, the fire outside the palace was also doused with kerosene, making it difficult to extinguish it.
Even if it is discovered quickly, it will not be destroyed in a short while!
With more and more smoke in the hall, even to the point of blocking the line of sight, it is obviously impossible to hide any longer. Outside the hall, there were also guards commanding and beheading many subordinates, barely controlling the situation, and went to the back hall to greet them: "Your Majesty, the escort came late, please forgive me!"
The commander knew that the current situation in the palace was chaotic, and there was something wrong with the guards, so they might not be trusted. Otherwise, why would the holy driver prefer to struggle under the eyes of the assassin instead of avoiding the dangerous place?
Therefore, he immediately reported his name and family background. He was the descendant of Zhongliang, and his family had a large population. The kind that wants to keep the emperor safe and sound.
"Your Majesty?" This is a big matter, and no one dares to make decisions at this moment, and they all looked at Chunjia.
The emperor thought for a while, and quickly ordered: "Trust him, get out! Order him to escort us to leave this place first!"
After all, this burning Guangdian will not be able to stay any longer!
After he said this, Duke Yi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but instead of protecting the emperor to go out immediately, they shouted to Yun Fenghuang: "Please hurry out of the palace to escape, the two empresses and the emperor's heir!"
It's definitely not that they let Yun Fenghuang, Queen Mother Yuan and others go first in order to please the emperor, but they are not sure whether the people outside are really reliable, so they let Yun Fenghuang and others take the lead! After all, anyone who didn't secretly take refuge with King Mao knew in his heart that anyone in this palace could have trouble, except Chunjia.
With him, Xiaozong's orthodox status can be preserved.
Now this temple, the many interests of the former dynasty and the harem can be maintained!
If he has three good things and two bad things, even if there are more than a dozen princes left, there is also a queen who is famous and capable, and the queen mother and the queen mother cannot support the overall situation!
Yun Fenghuang understood this truth, so naturally he would not feel offended at this moment, let alone refuse, and rushed to protect a group of people to evacuate from the hall!
At this time, she also did the same thing, ordering the concubines to take the lead first, so as to avoid a burst of arrows when they went out, and they didn't know how to die. After the three or five concubines were all fine, it was the turn of the emperor's heirs she cared about the most, and then she let Zhao Qing help the Empress Dowager Yuan to go, and she brought Concubine De and other trusted concubines to lead the battle.
What? What do you say about the huge number of concubines left?
Those people were abandoned long after the assassination happened. Those who can follow the empress dowager are at least those who have given birth to an imperial heir and have some status in the palace. Otherwise, they are also eligible to be protected?
However, Princess Zhaoqing helped the Queen Mother Yuan to the threshold of the back hall, but because the Queen Mother cared about Chunjia, she hesitated to take this step, and Zhaoqing was lame, so the Queen Mother suddenly slowed down, and her steps suddenly became chaotic. The whole person fell sideways! She was originally holding the Queen Mother's arm according to Yun Fenghuang's order, but now she immediately brought Queen Yuan down as well!
At this time, Concubine De was so anxious that she could not wait to step forward and drag them up and throw them out—Yun Fenghuang was also in a hurry, and was about to make a move, but there was a gust of wind behind her, she knew something was wrong, and was just about to You want to dodge to the side, but you are surrounded by people on the left and right, how can you make it in time?
The one who was bumped staggered and fell to the side. Turning her head to look, it turned out to be Jing Jieyu, who has always been obedient and obedient!
Although Jing Jieyu has always been well-behaved and obedient, she has nothing to do and her status is not high, and she was also given up just now. Who would have thought that not only did she live till now, but she would also conspire against Yun Fenghuang? !
Jiang Mingdan's face was grim, and he didn't say anything, taking advantage of the chaos among the crowd, he went straight to the back door, stepping on the princess and queen mother who were still struggling to get up and ran out!
Yun Fenghuang was furious in his heart, and got up straight away. At this time, Duke Yi and others also came over to protect Chunjia. They saw this scene in their eyes, but they didn't care about what to say to the queen, so they hurriedly asked Chunjia to hurry up. leave.
"Ah Huang, go!" Seeing her getting up, Chunjia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly reminded, "Don't worry about other things, go!"
He didn't need to remind him, Yun Fenghuang had already quickly ran to his side and followed closely behind.
When Princess Zhaoqing and Empress Dowager Yuan were being lifted up, Chunjia happened to be in front of them, and she pulled them out of the hall together with each other.
And Yun Fenghuang was waiting to cross the threshold, when she suddenly heard the sound of bowstrings behind her, she had a premonition that something was wrong, the next moment, a feathered arrow flew towards her, and with a "poof", her skirt was fixed on the ground!
The cluster of arrows went deep into the floor, and the tails of the arrows could not stop shaking, which showed the strength of the arrows!
One of the queen's feet has been raised, but she can't put it down at all!
The horrified look on her face was formed, and there was another sound of bowstrings behind her - at this moment of lightning and flint, Yun Fenghuang was full of thoughts, and the most vivid scene was when she first entered the palace and made things difficult for Concubine An When the holy car came, she knelt down and approached Yuan Niangniang by pleading guilty, but suddenly tore off the other party's skirt. From then on, she began to step on the emperor Qingmei's superior position for more than ten years.
But now, the crown prince just died, and the emperor is safe and sound. As long as Chunjia survives this test, her goal of striving for success in this life is within easy reach.
At this moment, no matter who made the arrow, it carried a kind of irony from fate to her.
She tore off Yuan Niangniang's long skirt in full view back then, making the arrogant and domineering Concubine Yue feel miserable.
Right now, she was about to escape, but she was pinned to the hem of her skirt. She could only look at the palace gate in front of her, but couldn't move an inch.
It can only be like this, feeling that the sharp arrow is about to pass through the heart, helpless!
Could it be that she was really doomed somewhere, that she would fall short every time? !
Yun Fenghuang's anger and unwillingness surged in his heart, and the incident of Xie Fenghuan broke out on the eve of his marriage with Qi Jiulu; he was cautious in his words and deeds for three years, but he still couldn't escape the scheming in the palace; Came out without a sound...
Finally watched Gongxiang Bing die in front of him, again! again! Another near failure! ! !
It's fine if she's not as skilled as others, but every time it's a crime other than war, why? !
Why! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
"Fortunately, mother is back." Feeling the approach of the wind of arrow clusters breaking, she sighed, closed her eyes, and said to herself, "With her watching, as long as the children listen to her advice, they should have a good future." .”
The next moment, a figure rushed back from outside the palace gate, suddenly embraced her in his arms, and covered her tightly with his body!
Simultaneously with the arrows entering the body, it was Duke Yi, Duke Ning, Queen Mother Yuan, Princess Zhaoqing, Princess Yan, King Jin, and others exclaimed in horror: "Your Majesty (father)?!!!"
"Emperor!!!" Queen Mother Yuan couldn't believe her eyes, seeing that the arrow that was supposed to kill Yun Fenghuang pierced Chunjia's back, and all the blood in her body seemed to be for it. Frozen, only stunned for a short moment, and after letting out a shrill scream, he fainted straight away!
