410 Shock
Maybe there were doubts and things in her heart, Yang Lan began to pay attention to the position where these eunuchs and palace maids were standing repeatedly, she found that these palace maids seemed to have light steps, as if they had practiced martial arts, and the guards also looked very nervous, the larger guards at the door were walking back and forth, and their hands were always tightly grasping the saber and did not dare to relax for a moment, which was an instinctive reaction when people were nervous.
To say that the eldest brother would not participate in such a banquet in the past, because he was in charge of the defense of the capital, and he would not attend the banquet in person, lest the Guards Janissaries lose their command and make a mess, but why did the eldest brother come today?
These doubts made Yang Lan a little uneasy, but she couldn't do anything on such an occasion, so she subconsciously touched a bamboo firework in her sleeve, only in this way could she feel at ease.
Perhaps sensing Yang Lan's uneasiness, Wang Wan'er, who was sitting next to her, asked in a low voice with some confusion, "What's wrong?" ”
Yang Lan sat back a little and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, I just feel a little headache, and I'm not used to this occasion." She didn't dare to say anything, it would not be good if it caused alarm, and her face had become dignified, and she looked a little too majestic.
Wang Wan'er is also a clever person, and she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't ask directly, so she said, "I don't know if there will be fireworks today?" It was put in previous years. ”
Yang Lan raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Wang Wan'er, and said with an unhurried smile: "I may not let it go this year, it won't be good if I hurt people again, people have been injured every year before, especially ...... Brother Yu was injured that year, and it took a long time to recover. She said meaningfully.
Wang Wan'er's eyes widened suddenly, and she saw that Yang Lan's gaze was strongly oppressive. In an instant, she regained her clarity. The head calmed down. began to carefully check the movements around her, and sure enough, she also noticed that something was wrong, and looked at her husband Yu, and found that Brother Yu was drinking with Brother Yu, but one hand was on the side of the knee, she and her husband have lived together for many years, and she knows some of his small habits, and there will be small movements when he is nervous. But the face can never be seen, for example, now the feet are slightly apart, the left foot is slightly outward, the body is slightly tilted, only half of the chair is sitting, not all sitting, a little nervous and restrained, this posture can allow him to jump up anytime and anywhere, it is a defensive posture.
Seeing her husband so nervous, she felt as if she was out of breath. He was breathing heavily, as if he was going to drown. This feeling is extremely uncomfortable, I just feel dizzy in front of my eyes, what should I do now?
A pair of warm hands on her hands, the warm feeling made her slowly wake up, and when she turned her head, she found that her mother-in-law was smiling, her eyes were calm and peaceful, and she didn't seem to be affected in any way, her hands seemed very strong, and the warm touch made her warm heart, and gradually calmed down.
Yang Lan always maintained a shallow smile, her eyes were firm and powerful, there was never the slightest retreat and fear, her courage and strength affected Wang Wan'er, she gradually settled down, and after taking a deep breath, her mind gradually cleared.
Yang Lan then covered up her big sleeves and skirt, grabbed her hand, and quickly wrote on it: "If something happens, hide in the corner behind the banquet." ”
This kind of occasion is not suitable for saying too much, some words are not clear, Yang Lan can only do her best to simply express her meaning, let her understand, once something happens, remember to hide, to find a corner to hide from being noticed, protecting yourself is the greatest contribution to the also, don't rush up stupidly to be a hero, don't have that three, two, three, or don't stop the porcelain from working.
Once Wang Wan'er calmed down, she was quite clever, and wrote on her hand: "What should they do? ”
"Leave them alone." Yang Lan couldn't say anything, she didn't know if they had arranged it or not.
Yang Lan took advantage of the cover of her body to quietly stuff the dagger of her boots into Wang Wan'er's sleeve, and then pinched her hand, "Protect yourself." ”
Wang Wan'er's tears almost fell in an instant, the only thing she was glad for at this moment was that the children didn't come in, otherwise she didn't know if she would have cried on the spot.
Yang Lan always had a warm and kind smile on her face, patted Wang Wan'er gently, and glanced at Xiao Wu's daughter-in-law from the corner of her eye, she had a big belly, she had been four months, and I heard the imperial doctor say that this time it was a daughter, and they always wanted a daughter, as clever and gentle as Ziqing.
At this moment, Yang Lan felt that her mood fluctuated slightly, and she looked at Wang Wan'er again, she also glanced at the third daughter-in-law, the third daughter-in-law looked at them in wonder, I don't know why, continue to pick up things that can be restrained and eat, pregnant women are very hungry, the meals here are all warm water dishes, not very delicious, I can only try to pick up some warm dishes to eat.
Wang Wan'er nodded heavily, she understood what her mother-in-law meant, pinched the dagger tightly, hid it in her big sleeve, her eyes became firm and brave, and it was only then that Yang Lan smiled reassuringly.
As long as the eldest daughter-in-law doesn't panic, I believe that she can take good care of a few concubines, as for herself, she must not be able to be with them, then the goal is too big.
At this time, it seemed that he felt something, Yang Lan subconsciously looked towards the male seat opposite, and saw Rong Yi's gaze at a glance, with a smile in his eyes, calm and free, he raised his wine glass to signal that he was looking at each other from afar, with a strong friendship and tacit understanding.
Yang Lan also raised the wine glass, drank it all, and showed him the wine glass with a smile, with a gentle and beautiful smile.
She turned her head slightly to look at Brother Yu and Brother An's children, smiled kindly at them, and nodded slightly, with approval and encouragement in her eyes. With dampness in his eyes, Brother Yu raised his wine glass and dried it up, wiping away his tears without being noticed.
Time passed minute by minute, tonight's banquet seemed to be particularly long, and Yang Lan didn't do anything in the next time, and no longer paid attention to the relatives opposite, but concentrated on enjoying the song and dance, and the emperor and queen took turns to toast, saying some auspicious words, and everyone had a lively time.
Today's concubine seems to be very silent, dressed up but not very silent, completely different from the past, and even a little weird, but looking at her complexion doesn't seem to be very good, a little pale, making people think that she doesn't seem to want to move because she is not feeling well.
Speaking of happiness, the emperor stood up and toasted everyone together, "Come, dry this toast, and wish the wind and rain next year and the people good health." "The Emperor seemed very happy and in a very good mood today.
The ministers also got up to toast the emperor together, and the scene was very lively for a while.
Just as everyone sat down, a flying arrow galloped towards the emperor, and someone exclaimed, "Your Majesty, be careful." ”
The first to react was the eunuch beside the emperor, blocking the emperor, the arrow passed through the chest, penetrated the eunuch's chest, and pierced into the emperor's chest, the emperor snorted in pain, and fell on the chair by the eunuch's force, and couldn't move for a long time.
The queen was shocked and immediately shouted, "Escort, emperor, come and take the emperor away." She pulled the eunuch king who died on the spot next to him, but she didn't expect to open it at once, the arrows of the two were inserted too deeply, like sugar gourds, strung together, and the cold sweat that hurt when she touched the emperor flowed, but in the blink of an eye, her face turned white, and the sweat continued to flow down like rain.
The palace maid and eunuch were in a mess in an instant, and about six men who looked like guards rushed in with knives bravely, and cut when they saw people blocking them, and the knife saw blood, and the knife flashed with a blue and faint light, and it was seen that the blood sealed the throat.
At this time, the eldest brother and several generals were obliged to block these chaotic guards, and the female dependents were so frightened that they lost their faces, but Yang Lan took advantage of the chaos to become more and more calm, and dragged Wang Wan'er and the third daughter-in-law to the corner, and instructed while walking, "You hide in the corner of the side hall over there, don't make a noise, don't make a sound, when someone will save you to come out, don't care about the rest." ”
Fortunately, the third daughter-in-law herself knows martial arts and is much better than Yang Lan's kung fu, and she can be regarded as strong and healthy, she is not panicked at all in case of trouble, and she can still run with the second daughter-in-law with soft feet.
"Don't worry, mother, with me, no one can bully my sisters-in-law." The third daughter-in-law said seriously that she would protect her sisters-in-law.
Yang Lan looked at her stomach with a heartbroken look, and only felt a sudden pain in her brain.
Yang Lan found a corner that was quite hidden, stuffed them in, barely covered their figures with a curtain, and turned around to find Rong Yi, but was pulled by her sister-in-law Cui Rulan, "Where are you going?" The sister-in-law's eyes were stunned with a terrifying light.
Yang Lan smiled sadly, "Sister-in-law, you help me take care of a few children, even if my sister bothers you again." ”
Cui Rulan blew up on the spot, "You bastard, how old are you and still a hero, you can't go, you hide with us, I beg you, I promised my mother to take care of you, you can't let me see my father and mother without a face." Tears fell without warning.
Yang Lan seemed unusually calm at this time, "Sister-in-law, I have an insoluble grudge with the concubine, I will kill you if I am with you, sister-in-law, please ask you." He resolutely shook off his sister-in-law's hand and strode towards the outer hall.
When he ran, he didn't forget to pick up two big knives of the dead guards for protection, while carefully avoiding the chaotic crowd, while looking for Rong Yi and his eldest brother's son.
Yang Lan saw at a glance a group of people who were still fighting, most of them were military generals, and Wenchen was covering the female dependents to escape, the scene was extremely chaotic, seeing a civil official escorting his wife to escape, he was chopped to death by the guards with a knife, and died on the spot in front of his wife and children.
The emperor had fled under the escort of loyal generals, and the empress was also covered by female guards to leave, but Brother Hui chose to stay and fight the enemy with everyone.
I don't know what went wrong, there were more and more guards who came in to kill, Yang Lan keenly noticed that they had red belts tied around their waists, but the guards who protected the emperor with them didn't tie anything, it seemed that there was still a difference.
Yang Lan exclaimed, "It's the rebels who wear a red belt around their waists." Her voice was clear and high-pitched, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention. (To be continued......)
