Jiang Jingyu's eyes moved, but without opening them, she held the ball tightly in her hands.
After returning to the dormitory, Jiang Jingyu slowly opened the note just now.
Wanwan, I will try my best to bring His Majesty out of the palace during the Lantern Festival the day after tomorrow.
If there is a beautiful woman, you will never forget it when you see her; if you don't see her for a day, you will miss her like crazy.
Jiang Jingyu: "..."
What are you making a fuss about again?
Two days later, the Lantern Festival.
Di Yu and Jiang Jingyu put on their casual clothes and quietly left the palace.
Because they left the palace in secret, in order to conceal their presence from others, the two of them did not bring many followers, only Cong Ye, Cong Yan and two disguised guards.
The Lantern Festival only gets lively at night, so Emperor Yu and Jiang Jingyu went directly to the Shangshu Mansion after leaving the palace.
"Master, madam, the lady is back!"
The boy's excited voice sounded outside the bedroom door.
Liu, who was helping Jiang Huaian take off his official uniform, and Jiang Huaian, who had just returned from court, were stunned.
"Who are you talking about?"
The two of them looked at the figure outside the door and asked in unison.
"It's Miss, Master and Madam, it's Miss who's back!"
"Wanwan is back?"
Ms. Liu was startled. She heard what she heard so clearly this time. She excitedly opened the bedroom door and ran out, leaving Jiang Huaian alone in the wind.
When Madam Liu ran out of the bedroom, Jiang Jingyu had already brought Di Yu to the guest room. Madam Liu, who learned of her whereabouts from the servant, ran straight towards the guest room.
"Wanwan, Wanwan, are you back?"
"Madam, madam, please slow down."
The maid who was following her was afraid that Ms. Liu would fall, so she held her arm and kept reminding her.
But now that Mrs. Liu was anxious to see Jiang Jingyu, she would not listen to what the maid said. Mrs. Liu took two steps at a time and quickly ran out of the guest room courtyard.
"Wanwan, Wanwan?"
Hearing Mrs. Liu's voice, Jiang Jingyu stood up and walked quickly towards the door.
The mother and daughter finally met, and the moment she saw Jiang Jingyu, Mrs. Liu's eyes turned red.
"Wanwan, it's really you, you're really back! You don't even know how much my mother misses you!"
Mrs. Liu and Jiang Jingyu hugged each other and cried out all the thoughts they had missed these days.
"Mom, I miss you too. Come on, stop crying. Am I back?"
Jiang Jingyu patted Ms. Liu's back and comforted her softly.
Mrs. Liu hugged her and muttered again, then she realized something was wrong. She let go of Jiang Jingyu and said in shock: "No, Wanwan, aren't you in the palace? Why are you back?"
Thinking of something, Mrs. Liu hurriedly grabbed Jiang Jingyu's arm: "Quick, Wanwan, go back quickly. Mom knows you miss your mother, but leaving the palace without His Majesty's permission is a serious crime! Before anyone notices it, Mom will have someone take her away. Send it back!"
Jiang Jingyu stopped the agitated Liu and moved to the side: "Mom, look who that is."
Mrs. Liu looked doubtfully towards the main seat of the living room. When she saw Di Yu, her pupils trembled and she hurriedly dragged Jiang Jingyu to kneel down.
"My wife, please see your Majesty."
Jiang Huaian, who came later, saw this and his eyebrows jumped. He strode to the door of the living room, lifted up his robe and knelt down.
"I'm here to see you, Your Majesty! I didn't know that Your Majesty is coming here. If I have been negligent, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you."
Di Yu's eyes were light: "Everyone, get up."
"yes."
Jiang Jingyu helped Ms. Liu get up, and the family of three walked towards the living room together.
After seeing Di Yu sitting in the main seat, Jiang Huaian was a little cautious, neither standing nor sitting.
"Today is the Lantern Festival. I am taking Wanwan out to relax. You don't have to be restrained. Please sit down."
"Yes Yes."
Jiang Huaian nodded bravely, and then sat down below, freeing up the main seat next to Di Yu.
After everyone sat down, Jiang Huaian and Liu were still very nervous, and they both lowered their heads and remained silent.
The whole room is quiet.
Jiang Jingyu glanced at Di Yu who was sitting on the throne, as if he was saying: Look, I told you to find a restaurant to wait for me, and you have to come with me.
Di Yu coughed twice and said, "Didn't Wanwan say she wanted to eat the food at home? I'm a little hungry too, so let's prepare some food."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Huaian hurriedly gave orders, and soon the table was filled with food.
Jiang Huaian and Liu were a little cautious at first, but after seeing that Di Yu kept picking up vegetables for Jiang Jingyu and peeling shrimps for her with his own hands, they gradually relaxed.
If nothing else, His Majesty is sincere towards them.
Seeing their daughter's happiness, the two elders felt only relieved.
After the meal, although they didn't exchange a few words, Jiang Huaian and Liu were no longer as reserved as before.
Mrs. Liu pulled Jiang Jingyu and said some personal words, while Di Yu and Jiang Huaian sat at the chess table and played chess.
It was night, the moon shadow was everywhere, the birch trees were dancing, the night breeze was blowing by, and the bamboos were swaying in the wind.
Jiang Jingyu and Di Yu walked side by side on the street full of lanterns. They were dressed in white clothes and a mysterious robe, with their fingers intertwined, like a beautiful lady stepping out of a painting.
Although very few people had seen Emperor Yu's true face, Jiang Jingyu and the others had. In order to cover their eyes and ears, both of them wore masks on their faces.
"Lantern riddles, guess the lantern riddles!"
"Selling lanterns, all kinds of lanterns are guaranteed to satisfy you!"
The cries of various vendors sounded in the street, mixed with the chatter of everyone, and it was very lively.
Jiang Jingyu was extremely excited. Although she had memories of the Lantern Festival in her mind, it was not something she had experienced personally. Now she was in a lively and bustling street, and she was curious about everything she saw.
Di Yu also noticed the joy of the little woman next to him, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised. Her emotions affected his mind.
When the two of them walked to the stall selling hairpins, the proprietress called out to Di Yu.
"Sir, would you like to buy the little lady a hairpin? The little lady is so fair and beautiful, and with the hairpin embellishment, she will be like a fairy descending from heaven!"
The corner of Jiang Jingyu's mouth twitched. She was wearing a mask on her face. How could it be seen that she had fair skin and was beautiful?
She was about to drag Di Yu to look elsewhere, but Di Yu stopped in front of the shop, his eyes fell on the rows of hairpins, and he actually picked up the hairpins for Jiang Jingyu.
"This one."
He pointed his finger at one of the hairpins, and the landlady immediately smiled from ear to ear.
"Young master is really discerning. This hairpin is the best among all the hairpins!"
The landlady handed the hairpin to Di Yu. Di Yu took it and turned around. He raised his hand and pinned the hairpin to Jiang Jingyu's bun.
Seeing that he kept staring at her, Jiang Jingyu blinked: "Ah...husband, do you look good?"
Under the warning from Emperor Yu's eyes, Jiang Jingyu was forced to change his words.
The word "husband" was very helpful to Di Yu. He curled his lips and said, "Every lady is beautiful no matter what."
Then he grabbed Jiang Jingyu's waist and continued to walk forward. The guard behind him hurriedly took out his money bag and paid the money to the landlady.
The two walked around and finally came to a shop selling lanterns.
After seeing the two of them, the boy hurriedly ran over with a smile.
"You two want to buy a lantern, right? Please wait a moment. I will bring you a writing brush. Just write down your wishes on the lantern, and then hang the lantern under the Bodhi tree in the south of the city, and your wishes will be fulfilled. It’s come true!”
While introducing, the boy brought a writing brush over and handed it to Jiang Jingyu who was standing in front, and then placed a lantern in front of her.
Jiang Jingyu was a little confused with a pen stuffed in his hand. Making a wish on the lantern? What wish?
She was stunned when Di Yu's big palm suddenly stretched out from behind and wrapped her hand.
Then he held her hand and wrote three lines of words on the lantern.
Tonight evening, see this good man.
With the harp and harp at your disposal, it’s best to be quiet.
Hold your son's hand and grow old together.
As the last stroke fell, Jiang Jingyu's heart couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Wanwan, let's go and hang the lanterns on the bodhi tree."
The boy said that if you hang the lantern on the Bodhi tree, your wish will come true.
Di Yu didn't believe this before, but now he does.
He took Jiang Jingyu's hand and walked towards the Bodhi tree in the south of the city with the lantern in hand.
The two came to the bodhi tree, and Di Yu used Qinggong to hang their lantern at the highest point.
The higher you hang it, the easier it is for your wish to come true.
Jiang Jingyu looked up at Emperor Yu who was hanging the lantern, and curled his lips. After Emperor Yu hung the lantern firmly on the bodhi tree, he flew down.
Whoosh whoosh——
The neighing of horse hoofs sounded in front, and arrows flew towards Di Yu one after another. The originally lively streets suddenly became chaotic!
The next moment, dozens of men in black came out of the air and surrounded the south sides of the city, attacking Di Yu from both sides!
The two accompanying guards quickly drew their swords and protected Emperor Yu behind them.
Emperor Yu's expression remained unchanged as he walked straight towards Jiang Jingyu in front of him, not paying any attention to the men in black surrounding him.
At this moment, a man riding a brown horse came behind the man in black. He wore a mask on his face and lowered his voice deliberately.
"Kill me!"
After giving the order, the man in black had cold eyes and stepped forward with the knife in hand.
The two guards gritted their teeth, and suddenly they were fighting with the man in black!
Just as Di Yu was about to walk in front of Jiang Jingyu, the man on the horse suddenly raised his bow and arrow, and an arrow shot straight at Di Yu!
With his broad sleeves and robe as a whisk, Di Yu swept the arrow down with one hand and buried it three inches into the ground!
There were too many people in black, and the two guards were quickly at a disadvantage. Seeing that the sword was coming, they were unable to dodge. At the critical moment, several guards in green fell from the sky!
Effortlessly deflecting the incoming sword!
As the long sword in his hand was raised and lowered, the man in black's blood splattered everywhere!
The man sitting on the horse's pupils trembled when he saw the green-clothed guard appearing out of thin air.
It's the Dragon Shadow Guard!
When he left the palace, he brought the Dragon Shadow Guard with him!
Damn it! Sure enough, the mind is cunning!
Seeing more and more men in black falling to the ground, the man gritted his teeth and took out a signal flare from his waist. The signal flare was launched, creating a dazzling flame in the air.
Di Yu walked up to Jiang Jingyu and blocked her behind him.
"Ah Yu, this is Su Jingyan."
Jiang Jingyu, standing behind Di Yu, reminded.
Although Su Jingyan wore a mask and lowered his voice, Jiang Jingyu could still recognize the figure that his original body hated so much at a glance.
"Escort Wanwan away."
Di Yu also recognized Su Jingyan and gave orders to Cong Yan.
Cong Yan nodded and was about to escort Jiang Jingyu away when the sound of horse hooves mixed with the panic of the people came from all around. Soon a group of soldiers and horses appeared, surrounding the south of the city three levels inside and three outside!
Jiang Jingyu's eyes widened, it was the army hidden by Su Jingyan!
Looking at Di Yu and Long Yingwei who were surrounded, Su Jingyan smiled proudly.
"Come on! Take the tyrant's head!"
"Protect Wanwan!"
Emperor Yu's eyes darkened, he picked up a long knife from the ground and flew towards the attacking soldiers!
The long sword passed through the air, and the sound of cutting through the air sounded. Under the light of the sword and the shadow of the sword, the wind and clouds surged!
The soldiers raised their spears and attacked Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu quickly counterattacked, raised his sword high, and with a sharp roar, the sword light rose into the air with the force of breaking bamboo, like a bolt of lightning that went straight into the chest of the soldier, killing him in an instant!
The swords, swords and shadows intertwined with each other, making a crisp metal collision sound. Di Yu and Long Yingwei instantly fought with the soldiers.
Meat scraps flew everywhere and blood overflowed!
Seeing more and more soldiers emerging from all directions, the figures of Di Yu and Long Yingwei were buried among them. Jiang Jingyu clenched his hands into balls, feeling extremely anxious.
She told Di Yu about the note last night. The two of them came out this time and brought more than a dozen Dragon Shadow Guards with them. But they never expected that Su Jingyan would be so restive that he dared to reveal himself in the street and hide in the dark. soldiers and horses! !
Jiang Jingyu was in a state of confusion and was in a stalemate——
"My subordinates are late in escorting me. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
A familiar voice sounded behind him. A flash of astonishment flashed in Jiang Jingyu's eyes, and he turned around in disbelief.
Then he saw a man in silver armor coming to fight with a spear, and he cut a bloody path into Jiang Jingyu's sight.
"Brother!"
"Wanwan, eldest brother arrived late and Wanwan was frightened."
The man held a spear and walked straight to Jiang Jingyu. The remorse and longing in his eyes broke out at this moment.
The person who came was none other than Jiang Jingyu’s eldest brother, Jiang Jingyan.
Jiang Jingyu's eyes turned red, she shook her head and choked up: "Brother, it's great to see you again."
Jiang Jingyan smiled slightly and raised his rough palm to wipe Jiang Jingyu's tears.
"Silly girl, just stay here and don't go anywhere. Brother will kill everyone who disturbs Wanwan!"
As soon as the sound fell, Jiang Jingyan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he shouted: "Yunxiao Army, kill me!"
"kill!"
As Jiang Jingyan arrived, Yunxiao Army, who was fighting with the soldiers brought by Su Jingyan, immediately became excited when he heard this. The spear in his hand stabbed deeper and harder with each move! !
Jiang Jingyan flew to join the battle. As the Yunxiao Army joined in, the soldiers brought by Su Jingyan fell one after another.
Su Jingyan, who was sitting on the horse, froze with pride when he saw this.
Yunxiao Army? ?
Isn't the Yunxiao Army stationed in southern Fujian? Why did he suddenly appear in the imperial city? !
Su Jingyan couldn't figure out why the Yunxiao Army led by Jiang Jingyan appeared in the imperial city, but he couldn't think deeply about it at the moment.
He did not expect that Jiang Jingyan would lead the Yunxiao Army into the Imperial City. The number of soldiers he brought into the Imperial City to assassinate the tyrant was only more than 3,000. Most of them had fallen to the ground under the fighting between the Long Shadow Guards and the Yunxiao Army.
The situation at hand is not optimistic.
Su Jingyan gritted his teeth. If the assassination failed today, he would have to look for another chance in the future!
Su Jingyan planned to take advantage of the chaos to evacuate, but before leaving, he had to take Wanwan away!
Thinking of this, Su Jingyan shouted to Jiang Jingyu: "Wanwan, come here quickly!"
His voice was soon drowned out by the sound of fighting, but Jiang Jingyu heard it. She pursed her lips and walked towards Su Jingyan. Cong Yan couldn't stop her.
Seeing that Jiang Jingyu was about to walk in front of Su Jingyan, both Di Yu and Jiang Jingyan noticed her figure.
"Wanwan, go back!"
Jiang Jingyan exclaimed, but Jiang Jingyu ignored him and walked straight towards Su Jingyan, who was only three meters away.
A flash of pain flashed across Di Yu's eyes, and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Jiang Jingyu walked to Su Jingyan and stopped: "Ayan, you finally came to pick me up."
Su Jingyan's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and he knew that the person Wanwan loved in her heart was him from beginning to end!
Su Jingyan got off his horse and hugged Jiang Jingyu excitedly.
"Wanwan, it's my fault. I will never let you leave again. I..."
Shila——
The sound of the sword penetrating into the flesh was heard, and a flash of surprise flashed in Su Jingyan's eyes. He lowered his head stiffly and looked at the dagger stuck in his chest.
"Wanwan, you..."
