Bondage

Jiang Yan took the wine bowl and said softly, "I shouldn't have stopped drinking this wine, but Yuchi has been ill recently, it's really..."

"It's okay, I asked someone to change the tea."

Song Fu took the wine bowl back in front of him, but he didn't see any displeasure.Seeing this, Xiao Jiye toasted with a bowl, Yuanrong revealed the matter.

The three of them are all well-rounded and well-rounded people, so they had a great time talking with each other, and Xiao Ji's ambition was scheming, and he also wanted to make friends with Song Fu, and Jiang Yan was in the middle of it, and within half an hour, the three of them met Open mouth to call brother and brother, so familiar.

After drinking for three rounds, the front of Dongzhi Gate became lively, Song Fu then smiled and bid farewell to the two.

Soon it was the auspicious time to light the lanterns, and he had to visit his aunt and the third prince.

The two of Xiao Jiang agreed at the same time, and the three made an appointment for the next drink, Song Fufang left the room.

On the bright yellow prayer platform built for Zhongqiu, there are already many nobles in the palace sitting one after another.Emperor Wen Hui was away, and the Eldest Prince took the lead, so he sat in the first place, followed by the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince stood beside the Third Prince.

The queen and several concubines are sitting in the west of Dengtianlou.

When Concubine Yun and Concubine Jiang sat down, they looked at each other and smiled.

The blessing ceremony of the Mid-Autumn Banquet was very cumbersome, and everyone sat on the stage for nearly an hour before they heard the Taichang Temple Minister sing the prayer and invite the third prince to go up to the heavenly tower to light the lamps.

Although the third prince is young, he has already begun to assume the majesty of the emperor, and his gestures are quite powerful.

After Song Fubai had met Concubine Yun and the third prince, he had been waiting not far from the royal altar for the lighting of the lamps.Seeing Shen Qianbai walking towards the Tianlou with dozens of guards now, he couldn't help but smile slightly, feeling honored.

The third prince walked down the stairs, Song Yuning looked at an inconspicuous eunuch in the distance, only to see that eunuch nodded slightly, then quietly retreated, not knowing what to do.

"Concubine Yun is lucky to be able to give birth to a child as beautiful as the Third Prince."

Watching Shen Qianbai walk into Dengtianlou, Jiang Man suddenly spoke.

She knew that the eldest prince would definitely do something today, and although she hadn't found out the specific plan, it didn't stop her from jumping with joy.

As long as Shen Qianbai dies, the process doesn't matter.

Song Yuning smiled and said, "It's better than Concubine Jiang's luck. Although the fifth prince is a bit dull, he can be worry-free."

"Oh, Concubine Yun's mouth has always been unforgiving, but I don't know if I can keep being tough."

The two bickered for a few words, and soon focused their attention on Dengtianlou.

A figure slowly appeared on the top of the tower, and the third prince Shen Qianbai raised the torch in his hand and slowly lit the huge dragon and phoenix lantern.

The lantern lights up, instantly illuminating half of the sky.

Xiao Jiye and Jiang Yan were also standing not far from Song Fu, but both of them seemed to be out of interest.

"Perhaps I drank too much just now, I'll come back as soon as I go."

Jiang Yan nodded, and looked away from the sky tower.

For some reason, all he could think about at this moment was the bag of crisp candy in Song Fu's room.

Song Fuhui specially brought it for such an occasion today, presumably that person likes it very much.

He was annoyed for a moment, but he didn't know anything about the past.

Jiang Yan raised his head and looked around, and saw that there was indeed a crisp candy shop not far away.

He walked over without thinking, but was suddenly stopped by Jiang Xingjian not far away.

"Where to go?"

Jiang Yan said, "Go ahead and look at the lanterns."

Just as Jiang Xingjian wanted him to go back to the Hou's Mansion, he heard a piercing sound coming from a distance.

"There are assassins, I will go find the Fifth Prince."

After leaving one sentence, Jiang Xingjian rushed to the royal prayer platform.

Before Jiang Yan could react, he saw a sharp arrow heading straight for the eldest prince on the sacrificial altar.The eldest prince panicked and hurriedly pulled the female officer beside him to block the arrow.

"What's going on? Where did the archer come from? Didn't you tell the archer to withdraw?"

The female official on the altar wore a bright green gauze skirt and a brightly colored moon blue cloak on her body.

Song Yan also didn't understand the situation at this time, and was trapped in the crowd by the people without waiting for a reply.

"what!"

The timid concubine exclaimed, Jiang Xingjian broke away from the crowd to look, only to see a sharp arrow piercing the female official's head and shooting into the eyes of the eldest prince.

Shen Qianchi rolled on the ground in pain, and the hysterical pain and wailing continued to flow into the crowd. Someone suddenly yelled that Nan Qing was calling, and the people were so shocked that they ran around and crowded into a ball.

Those who couldn't avoid it were directly trampled under their feet and died.

In front of Dongzhimen, there were crowds of people, countless people were shoulder to shoulder, legs to legs, and the guards in the palace were all blocked in place, and no one could move an inch.

Xiao Jiye took advantage of the darkness to cover up, threw the sunset bow in his hand from the roof into the crowd, and then hid himself in the darkness.

The first prince was hit by an arrow, and Jiang Man and Song Yuning on the prayer platform suppressed their astonishment and rushed to the third and fifth princes.Under the cover of the eunuch, the fifth prince was dragging his small body and crying for his concubine mother.

Jiang Man was worried, so he couldn't help speeding up his pace.Just as he was about to hug Shen Qianshu into his arms, a low-ranking eunuch suddenly rushed out from the corner.

The eunuch went straight to the Fifth Prince, embraced him and jumped off the prayer platform.

"Shu'er!"

Jiang Man was about to burst into tears, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the Fifth Prince.

Although falling from the praying platform is not fatal, the street people are constantly rushing towards this place, and it is also very dangerous to watch.Jiang Man saw that the eunuch got up from the ground clutching his chest and quickly slipped away, while Shen Qianshu lay motionless on the ground.

The people flocked closer and closer, and the fences used to separate the crowd were knocked down one after another, and the imperial guards guarding the outermost were firmly held by the people, for fear that they would be trampled into a pulp if they fell down.

Seeing that no one could save Shen Qianshu, Jiang Man knelt down and prepared to jump off the altar.

"My lady! You can't go, my lady!"

Eunuch Chang grabbed Jiang Man and jumped down with a plop.

Jiang Man saw his child lying motionless on the ground, and behind him countless people wanted to climb up to the altar to survive.They crowded and pushed forward, and she even saw someone step heavily on Shen Qianshu's leg.

"Mother..."

With a childish cry, Jiang Man bit his lips tightly, and when he was about to jump down to save others again, he saw Jiang Xingjian break free from the crowd, and firmly protected Shen Qianshu under him.

He curled himself into a ball, stuffed Shen Qianshu into his arms, and leaned against the foot of the altar.

Shen Qianshu was firmly sandwiched between Qitai and Jiang Xingjian, and his broken leg made him cry non-stop.

Jiang Xingjian gritted his teeth, only to feel that someone was stepping on him and climbing up the stage. Jiang Man was dragged towards the palace by the eunuch desperately, and with a snap of his fingers, the two of them were never seen together again.

In the distance, Jiang Yan was also pushed into the crowd and couldn't move. In the panic, the crowd stretched out a hand to hold him tightly.

"Come with me."

At this time, the only way to escape the danger is to climb to the top. Xiao Jiye's face was stern, and he dragged Jiang Yan to the Tianlou.

Jiang Yan is weak and handsome, not comparable to Xiao Ji, a wild man with a tall horse, a big body and a strong figure. In this situation, he has no strength to resist.It was Xiao Jiye who went on a rampage and made a way for the two of them.

After finally walking to the vicinity of Dengtianlou, Xiao Jiye said: "Go to the front to find a place, climb up..."

Before the words were finished, the two only heard a loud noise bursting from the top of the building.

"Third Prince!"

Jiang Yan exclaimed, Xiao Jiye raised his head, and saw the figure of a weak child on the top of the tower, falling straight down.
