Different from the past, Zhuang Younan wore a red dress without any patterns on it. She looked simple and elegant, but it added a touch of coquettishness to her frail face.

The black hair was held up loosely with only a wooden hairpin. A gust of wind blew by, and many pieces of hair fell down, covering the few lights on the face, and the face was almost completely hidden in shadow.

She stood alone among the crowd, incompatible with the laughter and laughter around her, staring at one place gloomily.

"This is not Empress Jia Fei..." Lin Xiaolian said to herself, with panic and confusion on her face.

Zhuang Younan had always been quiet and reserved in front of others before, but the person in front of him was like an evil Shura ghost crawling up from hell, and the bookish aura around him had disappeared.

"It's murderous intent."

Jian Ying frowned and looked in Zhuang Younan's direction, his eyes immediately filled with anxiety.

That position was exactly where Lin Zhiyu and Zhou Zijin were standing.

Under the high platform, there was a banging sound, attracting everyone's attention.

The performance officially began.

A man was holding hot red molten iron in one hand and a special flower stick in the other hand. He had a few scars on his body and a fierce look on his face. After nodding to the people on the stage, he walked to the center of the venue.

"One dozen, the government is in control and the people are harmonious, and the iron flowers are a gift of auspiciousness!"

As the person on the other side shouted loudly, the man waved the flower stick in his hand. For a moment, thousands of flowers bloomed in the east wind, and golden sparks shot up into the night sky, making them dazzling.

The people around them cheered loudly, but Lin Xiaolian and Jian Ying had no intention of watching, staring warily in the direction of Zhuang Younan.

Zhuang Younan touched his hand on his waist, and a cold light flashed against the firelight.

"It's a dagger!"

Jian Ying's pupils suddenly tightened.

"Boom! Boom!"

"Two dozen, a hundred blessings will come from heaven, and China and China will rejoice together!"

The second congratulation sounded, Zhuang Younan hid the dagger behind his back, walked through the noisy crowd, and quickly walked in the direction of Lin Zhiyu.

Jian Ying shouted: "No!"

Lin Xiaolian also shouted to Lin Zhiyu: "Miss, be careful!"

However, their voices were drowned out by the cheers of the crowd, which could even be said to be weak.

Lin Zhiyu vaguely heard Lin Xiaolian's voice, and turned around and waved to Xiaolian, indicating that she was here and told her not to worry.

Lin Xiaolian groaned and wanted to go through the crowd to reach Lin Zhiyu, but the place where she was was not high up. Many palace maids and eunuchs were attracted by the excitement here, and it was difficult to move even an inch.

"What are you doing, blocking my view!"

"That's right, why are you crowding around? It's rare that the palace is so lively!"

Seeing that the crowd was becoming more and more dissatisfied, some even had a bad temper and started pushing Lin Xiaolian.

Jian Ying grabbed Lin Xiaolian, who was so anxious that she burst into tears: "It's not an option to continue like this. You wait here, I'll go over!"

Lin Xiaolian paused, feeling a rough touch on her hand, and she pulled her hand back unnaturally.

"Can you use Qinggong to fly over directly?"

Lin Xiaolian glanced at Zhuang Younan. She was already thin and dexterous in the crowd. Although the people around her were a little puzzled by the strange behavior of the Concubine Jia Fei, they were quickly attracted by the performance below the stage. It grabbed attention.

Jian Ying lowered his head and thought for a while, then visually measured the distance. He gritted his teeth and climbed onto the surrounding handrails, causing many people on the railings to exclaim in surprise.

"Is this person crazy?"

"You stepped on my hand!" "If it falls, it will be ruined!"

Everyone stepped back one after another to make way for Jian Ying.

At this time, the big drum beat three times in a row, which made people's hearts lift.

"Three hits, good weather and good harvest!"

Everything happened too suddenly. Jian Ying's speed was fast enough. Zhuang Younan reached Lin Zhiyu in one step first. The surrounding guards were all attracted by Jian Ying's movements.

Under Lin Zhiyu's confused gaze, Jian Ying had just said the three words Zhuang Younan, but was interrupted by Eunuch Zhang's scream: "Escort me, protect me quickly!"

Jian Ying suddenly turned around, only to see Zhuang Younan, who was originally rushing towards Lin Zhiyu, suddenly turned in another direction and rushed towards Zhou Tingchen.

This is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!

Only then did Jian Ying realize that Zhou Tingchen had been standing not far from Lin Zhiyu just now, but his black robe was not conspicuous, so he and Lin Xiaolian subconsciously thought that Zhuang Younan's target was Lin Zhiyu.

Zhuang Younan showed the dagger on his waist and headed straight for Zhou Tingchen's throat.

Lin Minghua was standing next to Zhou Tingchen. He was frightened when he saw Zhuang Younan's actions. He was forcibly brought back from his thoughts by Eunuch Zhang's voice, and reflexively tried to stand in front of Zhou Tingchen.

"Queen!"

Mo Ju's voice sounded behind Lin Minghua, and for some reason, she stopped abruptly.

She is the queen. If Zhou Tingchen dies, Zhou Zijin will be the new emperor.

At that time, she can use her identity as Zhou Tingchen's widow to stay in the palace, and then have further contact with Zhou Zijin.

As for being buried, well, my father, the prime minister, always has a way around it!

Lin Minghua stopped and even took a step back.

She didn't stand up, but of course someone did.

"Pfft..." With a sound, the dagger sank into Jiang Wanning's left shoulder.

She was also a general, and before Zhuang Younan could react, he gently and skillfully relieved her of her strength.

It's a pity that Jiang Wanning has become quite unfamiliar, and Zhuang Younan took advantage of her without noticing.

Seeing that he had stabbed the wrong person, Zhuang Younan stopped moving.

The crowd began to make quite a commotion, and a few timid ones ran down one after another.

Zhou Tingchen helped Jiang Wanning, who was losing strength.

"Zhuang Younan, why are you crazy! Come here, take her down and execute her on the spot!"

When he was about to raise his hand to pull out the sword from the guard's waist, he was horrified to find that Zhuang Younan unceremoniously pulled out the dagger that had been buried in Jiang Wanning's left shoulder. With a twist of his wrist, he rushed straight towards Lin Zhiyu. And go.

"Lin Zhiyu, you have deceived so many people, and all of this happened because of you!"

Lin Zhiyu suddenly trembled, feeling that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.

His own voice rang in his mind: "Zhuang Younan, you can't die!"

She didn't have time to think, she only had one thought in her mind, which was to calm down Zhuang Younan, who was almost going berserk.

But what should she do?

"Stay away from her!"

But who knew that when Zhou Tingchen saw that Lin Zhiyu was in danger, he subconsciously drew his sword and walked towards Lin Zhiyu.

Zhou Zijin took the lead and protected Lin Zhiyu in his arms.

"Brother Imperial!" When Zhou Zijin turned around, he saw Zhuang Younan putting the dagger against Zhou Tingchen's throat.

At the same time, a silver needle penetrated the back of Zhou Tingchen's neck. He froze and felt that his movements immediately became sluggish.
