There is always trouble to be solved.

Since the beginning of Qingliang Mountain, Shao Mingyuan has felt the strangeness of Emperor Taixiang, and this feeling has become stronger and stronger recently, and when the hundred officials congratulated him today, Emperor Taixiang's eyes made him feel the urge to beat people.

Of course, these are all tolerable, but the Empress Dowager and the Emperor attack Zhaozhao, this must not be endured.

Shao Mingyuan rubbed his chin slightly, and his eyes became more and more cold.

From the eighth day of the first lunar month, the lantern market begins, people in new clothes take to the streets, and the daytime is dazzling with strange performances, and at night, those lanterns are lit up.

The mountain shed in front of the Xuande Building has been erected, and on the day of the Lantern Festival, according to the custom, the Son of Heaven will bring the harem concubines and the royal relatives and nobles to the Xuande Building to feast and drink and enjoy the lanterns.

The princes and princesses died one after another, and there were physical problems again, Emperor Taixiang was depressed, and this year's Lantern Festival lost the interest in enjoying the lanterns.

Empress Dowager Yang said: "Now that the emperor has no children under his knees, there must be a lot of speculation inside and outside, in order to stabilize people's hearts, the emperor should not be so decadent, and he won't even go to the Lantern Festival to enjoy the lanterns." ”

Emperor Taixiang was still hesitating, and Empress Dowager Yang said earnestly: "Your Majesty, this is the third year of your ascension to the throne, and the Lantern Festival is a rare good opportunity to enjoy the lanterns with the people. ”

Emperor Taixiang had no choice but to come down: "Although it is to have fun with the people, after all, it is cold and freezing, so I will not take the eldest princess with me." ”

Empress Dowager Yang smiled: "The eldest princess is still young, so she will stay in the palace with her mother." ”

Soon it was the day of the Lantern Festival, and the people knew that the Son of Heaven would climb the Xuande Tower to enjoy the lanterns, and they rushed to the royal street early.

When it was auspicious, in a cheer, Emperor Taixiang led the mighty crowd to ascend the Xuande Tower.

At that time, the lanterns were on at the beginning, the dragon lanterns, umbrella lanterns, lotus lanterns, countless lanterns were of different shapes, rich and elegant, and ten thousand lanterns competed for brilliance.

In the music, singing and dancing, acrobatics, pill swords, horns and other hundreds of operas are performed, and each program is wonderful, attracting people to watch.

"Your Majesty, the light tower is about to be lit, please move to the front of the building. ”

Emperor Taixiang stood up and said to Empress Dowager Yang: "Imperial grandmother, grandson helps you." ”

In front of everyone, Emperor Taixiang's filial piety made Empress Dowager Yang feel very glorious, and nodded with a smile.

Emperor Taixiang supported the Empress Dowager Yang, the queen followed, and then there were the concubines with titles, and the attendants walked out of the elegant room and stood in front of the white jade railing of the Xuande Building.

The people found the Son of Heaven upstairs in Xuande, and immediately shouted "Long live" and knelt down.

The guards who surrounded Xuande Tower became nervous, and they couldn't help but clench the scabbard at their waists.

The lights were like day, Emperor Taixiang climbed high and looked into the distance, and the crowd of black oppression all knelt at his feet, and at that moment suddenly gave birth to a lot of pride.

These are his subjects, and it feels great to be the king of a country!

After enjoying a moment of kneeling and worshipping thousands of people, Emperor Taixiang raised his hands and held them up, and the people stood up one after another.

Very happy loudly, when the joyful music reached the highest, the lamp tower not far from the Xuande Building suddenly lit up.

The lantern tower is more than 100 feet high, and it lights up little by little from the bottom to the top, as if the stars in the sky are falling to the world one by one, so that the people watching the lanterns can't help but hold their breath.

In an instant, the entire lantern tower was lit up, shining brightly and splendidly.

The cheers of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking accompanied by the sound of "long live" came like a tidal wave.

Emperor Taixiang leaned on the white jade railing and couldn't help but smile widen.

The imperial grandmother is right, at this time, enjoying the admiration and worship of countless people, no matter how big the troubles are, they will be left behind for the time being.

"Look at the sky!"

With the shouts of countless people, Emperor Taixiang couldn't help but raise his head.

Brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, as if bringing spring to the night sky.

At that time, the sky was bright, and the ground was also bright, and the fireworks in the sky and the lanterns on the ground were intertwined at this moment, and the snow on the eaves and the ice on the branches of the trees were shining, as if all the darkness was dispelled.

People are obsessed with admiring the magnificent scenery in front of them, only to feel intoxicated, even the nobles upstairs in Xuande are no exception.

And at this moment, the person hidden in the dark bent the bow and pulled the string, and a transparent arrow flew through the lights and fireworks towards the Xuande Building, and no one noticed it in such a lively situation.

The arrow hit the back of Empress Dowager Yang's head accurately, instantly turning into countless ice crystal fragments and disappearing without a trace.

Empress Dowager Yang's screams were drowned out by the cheers of the people, and the people downstairs didn't even notice the guards who were escorting them.

Only Emperor Taixiang, who was close at hand, watched Empress Dowager Yang fall in front of him, and his face turned pale as snow in an instant.

"Help, help—" Emperor Taixiang shouted with his mouth open, his great fear like an invisible hand grabbing his throat, making him hiss only muffled.

"Empress Dowager, what's wrong with you?" the Empress reacted and panicked to help Empress Dowager Yang.

Several of the concubines screamed.

"Your Majesty, hurry inside!" Wei Wuxian pulled the stunned Emperor Taixiang inside.

Emperor Taixiang's lips trembled and he looked around blankly, as if he wanted to find the figure that could reassure him, but at the moment when the fireworks went out in the sky, he only saw a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

Those eyes were as beautiful as gems, but they were cold and had no trace of warmth.

Emperor Taixiang's eyes were dark, and he completely fainted.

I don't know how long it took, but when Emperor Taixiang woke up again, he was already in the familiar palace.

"Your Majesty, you're awake!" came a cry of surprise.

Emperor Taixiang sat up suddenly, looked at the familiar environment, and muttered, "Is it another nightmare?"

Greeting Wei Wuxie's surprised face, Emperor Taixiang calmed down and asked, "What about the Empress Dowager?"

The joy on Wei Wuxie's face suddenly disappeared, and he was replaced by mourning: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager—"

"Say, what's wrong with the Queen Mother?"

"The Empress Dowager has collapsed—" Wei Wuxian fell to the ground and wept.

Emperor Taixiang shook his body, leaned on the bedpost and closed his eyes.

An arrow, an eye.

Emperor Taixiang suddenly shook his soul and opened his eyes again, and asked hoarsely, "What about the arrow?"

"What arrow?" Wei Wuxian looked dazed.

"The arrow that shot the Empress Dowager!"

Wei Wuxian was even more dazed.

"Go and call me the commander of the Jinlan Guard!" The fear in Emperor Taixiang's heart was like waves rushing in, almost drowning him, but the thought of obsessing with the cause of Empress Dowager Yang's death made him struggle to support it.

Not long after, Jiang Shiyi rushed over.

In the palace change of Qingliang Mountain, Jiang Shiyi led the Jinlanwei to fight against Jiang Yuanchao stubbornly, and Emperor Taixiang was quite satisfied with his performance, so he promoted him as the commander of the Jinlanwei after ascending the throne.

After listening to Emperor Taixiang's questioning, Jiang Shiyi replied truthfully: "Afterwards, Weichen led people to search carefully, and there was nothing hurtful on the Xuande Tower. ”
