Chapter 387 Lidong, Assassination
Chapter 387 Lidong, Assassination
Yun Mian naturally moved inwards to make room for Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan felt flattered, thinking, when did Zhen and Yun Mian get along so harmoniously?This feeling is unreal like a dream.

Yun Mian also felt that she was too proactive, and explained: "I can't sleep, let's chat!"

"Okay." Xiao Zhan lay down on Yun Mian's side unceremoniously, hugged her into his arms, and asked, "Is the wound better?"

"It's better." Yun Mian lay on Xiao Zhan's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, the sense of happiness was spreading, and she really wanted to go on like this, never to be separated.

After a while, Xiao Zhan suddenly asked, "When did you start falling in love with me?"

"Ah?" Yun Mian didn't react for a while.

Since when did you fall in love with Xiao Zhan?She doesn't know, she may have fallen in love with her long ago, but she has been avoiding it all the time, not daring to look directly into her heart.

"I don't know, I just fell in love in a daze." Yun Mian didn't have a definite answer, but the only thing that was certain was that she was in love with him now.

The corner of Xiao Zhan's mouth curled up into a smile, secretly happy in his heart, it didn't matter when he fell in love, what was important was that Yun Mian acquiesced that she had fallen in love with him.

Xiao Zhan recalled the clips of the two walking along the way, and felt that the bickering was very sweet before, but now that he finally embraces the beauty, if Yun Mian can help him give birth to a child, it will be even more perfect.

But he knew that the more hastily he acted, the more Yun Mian would resist, so it's better to take it slowly.

Xiao Zhan gently comforted Yun Mian's back with his warm palm, kissed her hair, and said softly: "Go to bed early, I will get up early tomorrow and lead all the civil and military officials to the eastern suburbs to welcome the winter."

"Do you just sleep like this?" Xiao Zhan used her as a mattress, in a strange posture.

"Don't you like it?" Xiao Zhan put his arms around Yun Mian, if he didn't put her to sleep, he couldn't control his restless heart.

"I like it, good night." Yun Mian closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms. After a while, her breathing became even and she fell asleep in his arms.

The next day, before dawn, Xiao Zhan opened his eyes, kissed the person in his arms, put her aside, and quietly got up to escape from the whirling fan.

He didn't sleep well last night. Due to Yun Mian's injuries, he could only restrain some of his thoughts. Although he was not happy, he was very satisfied in his heart, as sweet as eating honey.

Today is Lidong.

Lidong symbolizes the beginning of winter, when everything is collected and the temperature drops sharply.

Every year on this day, folks have a series of Lidong customs, such as: worshiping ancestors, winter swimming, banquets, divination, patrolling fields, and treasure hunting.

Eastern suburbs.

When the morning sun rises, the emperor leads his ministers to welcome the winter, praying for a good harvest in the coming year.

After the ceremony, Xiao Zhan gave winter clothes to the officials according to their ranks, and gave condolences to the families of the martyrs who died for the country. The process was cumbersome.

The common people squeezed their heads to see the true face of the emperor.

In such an occasion, it is inevitable that there will be secrets and accidents.

There was turmoil in the crowd, and a few darts flew towards Xiao Zhan, making a sound of "咻~~咻~~咻~~".

Before the hidden weapon could get close to Xiao Zhan, it was blocked by the imperial guards.

"There are assassins, escort!"

The guards arrested the person who used the hidden weapon. Under the crowd, a stampede riot broke out in the crowd.

Eight of them flew out from the crowd, flanked left and right, raised their swords and stabbed at Xiao Zhan.

Such a move is nothing more than death. It is impossible for the four guards of the southeast, northwest wind to let the emperor have an accident under their noses.

But just as the assassin's sword was stabbing at Xiao Zhan, a minister who was close flew to block Xiao Zhan, hit his chest with a sword, blood gushed out, and fell to the ground.

It was Mr. Chen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, who risked his death to escort him.

"Tell the imperial doctor!" Xiao Zhan supported Mr. Chen, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Aiqing, hold on, the imperial doctor will be here soon."

"Your Majesty, I'm going to die soon. If I can die for you, I will die with no regrets!" Lord Chen showed a gratified smile, feeling that he had done an extremely remarkable thing.

Xiao Zhan saw that Mr. Chen could not be saved, so he immediately asked: "Chen Aiqing, what do you want to say to me?"

Master Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood again, and said with the last ounce of strength: "Your Majesty, Chen Yu'er, the daughter of my minister, is a noble person in the palace, she has been my minister's heart since she was a child, and I hope Your Majesty will take care of her for a while. "

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Zhan expectantly, if he didn't wait for his promise, he would die with regret.

Mr. Chen was escorted to death. This was his last words. In this situation, Xiao Zhan had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I promise you, take good care of Mr. Yugui."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. In the next life, I will do my best for Your Majesty." Master Chen closed his eyes as he said the last sentence.

The sounds of fighting continued all around, Xiao Zhan straightened up, and said in a cold voice: "Kill without pardon!"

The assassin headed by "噗~~~" was stabbed in the abdomen with a knife, and fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, the assassins were killed to the last one.

Seeing that he was powerless, the last assassin abandoned the battle and fled.

A group of people went to hunt down the assassin, while the rest stayed behind to evacuate the people and treat the wounded.

The direction in which the assassin fled was exactly the direction where the people held the winter swimming competition - Jingyue Lake.

When the assassin fled to the edge of Jingyue Lake, the winter swimming competition had just started, and the people participating in the winter swimming jumped into the lake at the same time.

He avoided the crowd and plunged into the lake under the cover of the trees by the lake.

When the imperial guards came after him, the assassin wounded a few more innocent people, and then he committed suicide in Jingyue Lake.

When they returned to the palace, the assassins had already been found out. They were Lan Wuchen's two subordinates, Kuangfeng and Kuanglang.

Lan Wuchen was killed, and Lanchuan Kingdom was taken away. This kind of national hatred and family hatred is bound to leave hidden dangers. Fortunately, there were no other casualties this time except Mr. Chen. Several innocent people were injured, but the He was rescued and his life was not in danger.

The assassination came to an end, Master Chen's mourning hall, Xiao Zhan went to mourn Master Chen, and Chen Yu'er was there, her eyes were red from crying in filial piety, when she saw Xiao Zhan, she was so sad that she almost fainted.

This Chen Yu'er has been in the palace for many years, and he has a low sense of existence. He has no impression of Xiao Zhan. In the past, he would not have looked at it more, but now that Mr. Chen died in his place, he is more or less apologetic. A handkerchief came, and Xiao Zhan handed it to Chen Yu'er.

The members of the Chen family saw it and were delighted. His Majesty was showing his favor to Chen Yu'er. Combined with his promise that Father Chen would take care of Chen Yu'er, Chen Yu'er won the favor just around the corner. .

"Your Majesty~~~" Chen Yu'er took the handkerchief overwhelmed with flattery, and wept tremblingly, not knowing whether it was because of excessive sadness or extreme joy.

After Xiao Zhan mourned Master Chen, he returned to the palace without stopping.

Inside the mother-in-law fan, Yun Mian's wounds have healed, and she sees what happened outside. In the past, Xiao Zhan showed his concubines goodwill, she didn't know how happy she was, but today is different, seeing Xiao Zhan Passing the handkerchief to Chen Yu'er, she felt sour in her heart.
