The smell of gunpowder in the air is particularly pungent!
Just on the ground lay a part of the furnace fragments that were about to fall into the crowd.
Just after the explosion, Yan Yunxiao and several Huanglong Guards were quick to step forward and shoot down the fragments of the furnace that were about to fall into the crowd.
And now.
Whether it was the civil and military officials, the imperial guards, the Chixia Army, or the ordinary people in the distance, they were all present.
Although they had calmed down, there was still a dazed look on their faces.
I was really frightened by the deafening explosion just now, and my ears are still buzzing.
But the most important thing.
Or maybe it was because this incident happened too suddenly.
From the moment Su Changan appeared, everything that happened left them no time to think about what was happening.
Then such a huge cauldron was thrown into the air and exploded.
So, everyone looked up at the sky, then at the broken pieces of the furnace on the ground, with a look of shock and confusion on their faces.
When Su Changan threw the cauldron out, he immediately embraced Xia Fengxiang in his arms and turned his back to the direction of the explosion.
Before the explosion, Su Changan hugged Xia Fengxiang tightly in his arms and even covered Xia Fengxiang's ears.
After Su Changan was sure that everything was fine, he looked down at Xia Fengxiang and asked in a serious tone, "Are you okay?"
Xia Fengxiang raised his head slightly, looked at Su Changan and nodded gently, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Su Changan ignored Xia Fengxiang. Instead, he let Xia Fengxiang go and looked him up and down. Seeing that Xia Fengxiang was fine, he finally let go of his worries. However, he still said with a serious expression, "It must be the Queen Mother."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan, especially when he thought about how he protected him just now, he felt very happy.
Especially when he saw Su Changan frowning and looking angry at him, he felt his heart beating fast.
But he knew what the occasion was, so he didn't show it and just nodded slightly.
Su Changan frowned even more tightly, "Why didn't you tell me! What if something happens!!"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and said, "Let me tell you, what if something happens to you?"
Su Changan frowned, "Then it's right for you to hide it from me?"
He didn't want anything to happen to her, and she didn't want anything to happen to him even more.
It was the first time Xia Fengxiang saw Su Changan like this. He bit his lip and didn't know what to say. Seeing Su Changan sweating profusely, he knew that he must have run all the way here after guessing what was going on. He reached out to wipe the sweat off Su Changan's face with some heartache and whispered, "Everything is under control. Besides, with Aunt Yan here, I'm sure nothing will happen to me. I forgot that when you came here just now, Aunt Yan was already planning to throw that thing away. So it's okay. I didn't let you come because everything has been arranged."
Su Changan doesn't care much about these.
He just wants Xia Fengxiang to be fine.
At that moment, Su Changan frowned and looked at Xia Fengxiang, actually wanting to curse him.
But looking at Xia Fengxiang's face.
After all, I couldn't bear to say a word.
But I was still angry that Xia Fengxiang didn't say a word about such a big and dangerous thing.
So looking at Xia Fengxiang's face, Su Changan was about to reach out to pinch Xia Fengxiang's face, but his hand stopped in mid-air. He placed his hand on the back of Xia Fengxiang's head, kissed Xia Fengxiang's forehead, hugged him in his arms, and then said: "If something like this happens again in the future, you must tell me. If something really happens, what do you want me to do?"
Xia Fengxiang didn't expect Su Changan to hug her like this and even kiss her. Her face immediately turned red because she knew there were many people watching!
So he glanced at the dusty civil and military officials, other eunuchs, palace maids, and everyone else below, and immediately whispered, "What are you doing? Let go, have you forgotten where we are? So many people are watching us. And there are other things to do! This matter is not over yet."
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at everyone who had now come back to their senses and were looking at him and the empress.
Su Changan blinked, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice: "Should I go back and kill the Queen Mother?"
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes at Su Changan: "Just stay still!"
Su Changan frowned, but still said "Oh". Although he was angry, Xia Fengxiang was fine, and there was no rush for other things!
Then he turned around to look at the civil and military officials who were staring at them, bowed, and stood next to Xia Fengxiang.
but
Su Changan saw Yan Yunxiao looking at him with interest, and his eyes were a little strange.
So Su Changan leaned towards Xia Fengxiang and away from Yan Yunxiao.
However, when he looked at the people below, he discovered that not only was the Eighth Prince covered in blood, but even the hairpins on his head were crooked, and his head was covered in gray, looking somewhat funny.
but
Everyone looked at Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang in shock.
Although they had just come to their senses, they were anxious to know what was going on and why the sacrificial cauldron exploded, and this incident was regicide!
After all, the cauldron is right in front of Your Majesty. If Su Changan hadn't arrived, Your Majesty would have surely died!
As for other things, such as how Miss Chang'an has such strength and why Miss Chang'an knew to rush to save His Majesty, they are not important for the time being!
But
Just now, when everyone looked up, they saw Su Changan hugging His Majesty and even kissing His Majesty.
That scene.
Everyone present blinked their eyes in amazement.
It’s not that Su Changan, dressed in white with a sword hanging from his waist, is particularly stunning.
It’s not that the scene of her holding His Majesty in her arms and kissing him really feels like a perfect couple in heaven.
After all, Su Changan has been confirmed to be the Empress Dowager. In other words, they are already a couple.
But
Could you two please pay attention? ! Even though this is in public, such a big thing just happened.
the most important is
Everyone couldn't believe what they just saw.
That was Su Changan's solemn expression.
Her Majesty seemed to be very happy. Not only was she a little shy, but she was also acting like a little girl.
Comparing the two, it's like they have swapped roles in their daily lives.
The people in the distance were already stopped by the imperial guards, so naturally they could not see what was happening between Su Changan and His Majesty inside.
But they saw the explosion clearly.
It was especially clear, such a terrifying explosion, especially when His Majesty was beside him.
Someone is trying to kill the king!
So everyone was horrified, some didn't dare to stay here, and the timid ones ran away quietly.
But those who are a little braver and have a clear conscience will just stand there and continue watching this grand event that is holding up the sky!
no other meaning.
Just want to see what happens next.
I'm also curious about what happened to Miss Changan after she went in just now!
Present
Seeing the two separated, Duke Qi immediately reacted, looked at the empress, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, what happened just now was..."
At this point, the old general, who had long been recuperating at home in a sinecure, hesitated for a moment, then immediately changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty, do you know that someone is trying to murder you? If so, who is it? The regicide is a crime, and the entire clan should be exterminated!! Although I am old, I can kill for Your Majesty!"
At the end, the Duke of Qi looked at the Eighth Prince and then glanced at the Grand Tutor.
Afterwards, he even pulled out the ceremonial sword that he had been granted in exchange for his outstanding military achievements and that could be hung on his court robes.
His attitude was very clear. He just wanted to tell the emperor, who in his eyes had been bullied since he took office, and who had now become a little tougher but was murdered, that he, an old man, was here, so he could speak without worry!
The Duke of Qi did so.
Many ministers reacted and immediately stood up one by one to express their opinions.
Xia Fengxiang had adjusted his mentality by then. Even though the bastard Su Changan came to save him and kissed and hugged him in front of so many people, his plan had not changed much after all.
Seeing the ministers like this, he smiled and looked at the Duke of Qi and said, "Don't worry, old man, it's not over yet."
When the civil officials and military generals heard this, they were all stunned. Even those who couldn't hear it in the back were still horrified after hearing what the person in front said.
Not finished?
What's the meaning.
What is not finished yet, what else is there!
It’s such a big deal just now, and it’s not over yet? ?
Duke Qi was naturally a little stunned and looked at the empress curiously: "What does your majesty mean?"
Xia Fengxiang smiled, glanced at the civil and military officials who followed the Queen Mother, and even more at the palace maids and eunuchs who followed the Queen Mother, then looked at the Duke of Qi and said, "Don't worry, the fun is just about to begin."
Duke Qi was surprised and looked at Xia Fengxiang in confusion.
Many of the civil and military officials who followed the empress dowager also looked confused.
Because they didn't know what was happening either.
But a few of them knew it well. They were sweating and swallowing their saliva, not daring to look at anyone.
Some people noticed the appearance of these people and became curious, asking and caring in a low voice.
But these people have no time to take care of this now.
Because they see it.
The Empress knew it a long time ago.
If he was rescued just now, it was because Su Changan suddenly came out.
But now the empress's words clearly showed that she already knew and was waiting for them to take action.
If the empress died, their power would naturally rise.
But now the empress is not dead, and the look in her eyes shows that she knows everything, and who is involved! !
