After the New Year, it will soon be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It was also until this moment that Yun Yao really felt the meaning of the four words that time flies. At this time last year, she had just arrived at Yiwang Palace, and she never thought that she would stay here for a year, and she had experienced so many ups and downs.

Taking advantage of the joy of the New Year, the Lantern Festival is also very lively, the lights in the Yiwang Palace are brilliant, and all kinds of lanterns are hung everywhere, illuminating the entire palace as if it were daytime.

The palace banquet of the Lantern Festival was held in Suochuntai. This time, there was no Manchu civil and military participation, but the queen mother and King Yi were the leaders, and the harem concubines had a meal together.

This time, Yun Yao did not go out, but followed Lu Yingquan's side and served in Suochun Terrace.

The Lantern Festival is also the last festival during the New Year, because after the fifteenth day of the first month, the days of the courtiers will also end.

"Queen Mother, my sons respect you. Shen Che held the wine glass, raised his glass to the Empress Dowager Jiang, and then drank the wine in the cup.

"Che'er has a heart, there are no outsiders in this palace today, so there is no need to be so formal. The Queen Mother said, then looked at the concubines, and spoke again, "In the past year, a lot of things have happened in our Yi Palace, but fortunately, everything is going well now, and Mrs. Han is also pregnant, which is also a good sign." The mourning family hopes that in the new year, you can continue to serve Your Highness with all your heart and soul, so as to live up to ......"

"Whoa—"

Before Empress Dowager Jiang finished speaking, she heard a burst of wind coming towards the main hall of Suochuntai, and the arrow that broke through the air was extremely fast, directly aimed at the Queen Mother who was sitting on the top, and it was menacing.

"Be careful, Queen Mother!" Seeing this, Shen Che reacted extremely quickly, threw out the empty wine glass in his hand, hit the arrow, and missed it, and then he flew away, flipped in the air, and reached out to grab the arrow.

This sudden scene made everyone in the hall feel shocked, and before they could react, there were many black-clothed people in the hall, holding bright swords in their hands, and slashed towards everyone.

"Ahh

The palace suddenly panicked, and a group of concubines hid behind in a panic, pushing out the palace maids and eunuchs around them to block the sword.

"Someone, escort. Shen Che roared, and soon, many guards came in outside, entangled with these black-clothed people, and the fight was inseparable.

Shen Che and the Queen Mother sat on a high platform, the farthest away from the Assassins, so they were safe for the time being, and there were also many guards in front of them to block the Assassins' advance. Therefore, Yao Meiren and He Meiren all involuntarily moved closer to the high platform and wanted to seek refuge.

The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were all frightened and ran around in confusion. Yun Yao wanted to grab Lu Yingquan and retreat, but she was hit by a palace maid and knocked her backwards, and suddenly the distance between her and Lu Yingquan was several steps away.

And these few steps, as if they are close at hand, are far away.

Because the assassins have approached, their purpose seems to be very clear, mainly three objects, Yun Yao, Lu Yingquan and Shen Che, because the people in the entire hall are running blindly, and there are even many people who are left alone, without the protection of guards. However, the assassins had no intention of killing them, and just ran towards Yun Yao and the three of them.

Yun Yao was blocked by several guards, and seeing Lu Yingquan in danger, she couldn't help but be shocked: "Yingquan, be careful!"

As she spoke, she tried to walk over and pull Lu Yingquan, but before she could take a few steps, she was interrupted by the assassin's menacing sword, and those guards escorted her backwards, and the distance between her and Lu Yingquan became farther and farther.

Lu Yingquan was originally sitting with Jiang Yi, and when the chaos first happened, the person who hit Yun Yao was Que'er, and she abandoned the master and fled in fear, but knocked Yun Yao behind. Therefore, Lu Yingquan and Jiang Yi were exposed to the assassin in this way.

Shen Che had the most assassins on his side, and he couldn't get out of his body at all, coupled with the chaotic scenes around him, even if he wanted to protect Lu Yingquan, he couldn't help it.

And Jiang Yi, who was standing with Lu Yingquan, saw that these assassins seemed to be only targeting Lu Yingquan, and couldn't help but think about it, she stood aside and waited for the opportunity to move, and when Lu Yingquan was facing away from her, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed her hard, pushing Lu Yingquan towards those assassins.

"Don't!" Seeing this scene, Yun Yao hurriedly shouted, attracting the attention of the Queen Mother and Aunt Wushuang on the high platform, and the moment they turned their heads, they happened to see Jiang Yi's hand that had not had time to withdraw.

The assassin's sword went towards Lu Yingquan's heart, and the tip of the sword pierced her heart, and blood immediately flowed out. Just as the assassin was about to exert himself, Yun Yao suddenly shouted a name into the air - Gu Chen.

That was the person Gu Qingming stayed by her side to protect her, if it weren't for Lu Yingquan's critical condition, she would definitely not expose Achen to the public. Because there is a strange man hiding in this Yi Palace, no one can say anything like this.

Achen, who was dressed in black, suddenly appeared, a sword slashed down from behind, and the man in black who assassinated Lu Yingquan fell to the ground immediately, and Lu Yingquan also slowly collapsed to the ground weakly because the sword was pulled out of his heart.

Achen's appearance alleviated the situation in the hall, and quickly dealt with the black-clothed people around Lu Yingquan, and then turned around and killed Yun Yao.

He and the guards flanked back and forth, and those men in black probably also knew that Gu Chen was a strong enemy, so they all turned around and began to besiege Gu Chen.

And Yun Yao grabbed this gap, ran towards Lu Yingquan, helped her up, and moved towards the safety of the back. After helping Yun Yao onto the high platform, he took out a handkerchief and began to stop Lu Yingquan's bleeding.

"Yingquan, bear with me, I'll help you stop the bleeding first, you'll be fine. Yun Yao said, moving quickly in her hand, she took out a bottle of hemostatic powder from her sleeve and sprinkled it on Lu Yingquan's wound.

The reason why Yun Yao carried hemostatic powder and gold sore medicine with her was due to her cautious character, and those lessons in the Ning Palace allowed her to learn to hide some commonly used medicines on her body in case of emergency.

"I believe in you, and with you, I'll be fine. Lu Yingquan endured the pain and said, "At the beginning...... General Gu was so seriously injured and poisoned, and he was rescued by you, so ......"

"Don't talk, save some effort. Yun Yao stopped Lu Yingquan from continuing to speak, and then began to heal Lu Yingquan's injuries skillfully, without distraction, as if he had completely forgotten that there were killers in the palace.

However, fortunately, there is Achen. Ah Chen was ordered by Gu Qingming to protect Yun Yao, so he guarded Yun Yao's surroundings tightly, and naturally helped Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan block the killer.

Gradually, there were more and more guards in the palace, surrounding those assassins, and Shen Che was able to get out and go to see Lu Yingquan.

"How is she?" asked Shen Che.

"It's hurt in the heart, as long as it deviates by half an inch, it may die. Yun Yao replied, "If Yingquan has any three longs and two shorts, I will definitely let Mrs. Jiang pay for her life!"

"Mrs. Jiang, what does it have to do with her?" Shen Che was busy dealing with the assassin and didn't see that scene, so he didn't know what Yun Yao meant.

"If it weren't for Mrs. Jiang pushing Yingquan, Yingquan wouldn't have been injured. Yun Yao said, "Your Highness, I know that Mrs. Jiang is the niece of the Queen Mother, and she has a special status. But she has already attacked me and Yingquan more than once, and our forbearance does not mean that we are cowardly. If His Royal Highness can't do it because of the Queen Mother's affection, the slave is willing to do it for him. ”

Yun Yao was single-minded, and while helping Lu Yingquan bandage, she was still talking to Shen Che, but the movements in her hands did not delay at all.

At this time, her heart was full of unprecedented anger. This feeling has not appeared for a long time, the last time she was angry and her heart was occupied by hatred, it was the time when Gu Qingming was dealing with the floods in the south, and almost died at the hands of the Beidi people.

When she found out Zhou Taichang's detailed identity, she showed no mercy and set up a bureau to catch Zhou Taichang and Zhou Meiren. And this time, it was about Lu Yingquan's life and death, and it also made Yun Yao completely hate Mrs. Jiang.

Yun Yao's words were heard word by word by the Queen Mother and Aunt Wushuang next to her, both of them knew what was going on, and after listening to Yun Yao's words, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and a thick worry flashed in their eyes.

The last time there was a fire in the Hall of Light, it was Lu Yingquan and Yun Yao who let Jiang Yi go, and did not continue to pursue it, so that Yao Meng became a substitute for the dead ghost. But this time, Jiang Yi actually did such a thing, which angered Yun Yao, I am afraid that the days of this harem will not be peaceful again.

There was a sound of weapons colliding in the air, and those black-clothed killers looked at Shen Che and Yun Yao, as well as Lu Yingquan lying on the ground, knowing in their hearts that they might not succeed, so they retreated one after another.

"Don't fight, withdraw—" The man in black commanded, and everyone stopped fighting and left one after another.

The forbidden army in the palace chased after them and moved the battlefield outside, and those men in black fought and retreated, and soon ran away.

The commander of the forbidden army came in to plead guilty, but Shen Che didn't say anything, just ordered them to clean up the aftermath, and then picked up Lu Yingquan from the ground.

"Your Highness, the beauty is too injured to move bumpy, it's best to find a nearby place for her to lie down. Yun Yao spoke at the right time.

"Quick--Wushuang, take His Royal Highness to the side hall, place Lu Meiren, and pass on the imperial doctor-" When Empress Dowager Jiang heard this, she hurriedly ordered, and her already frightened heart became even more nervous.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Achen left the hall by himself and hid in the shadows, as if he had never appeared.

Soon, Shen Che took Lu Yingquan to the side hall, Yun Yao followed, the forbidden army carried away the corpses in the hall, and the queen mother led the remaining concubines to the side hall, sitting on the chairs in the side hall, everyone still felt palpitations.

There was silence in the hall, no one spoke, and many palace maids and eunuchs were accidentally injured by swords and were sent down to bandage and be treated. And after the Queen Mother eased up, she glanced deeply at Mrs. Jiang.

At that glance, there was disappointment and sadness in his eyes, like a heavy hammer hitting Mrs. Jiang's heart.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but be shocked, she originally thought that the scene was chaotic and no one would see her movements, but she didn't expect it to fall into the eyes of the Queen Mother.
