"Purple orchid is a flower that glows at night." Ye Qianning said.
"You mean this flower can glow at night?" Nan Xiang was a little incredulous.
Sang Lanyu's eyes brightened as she stared at Zi Youlan when she heard that.
Emperor Beili had some words left unsaid. Seeing that everyone was staring at Zi Youlan, he said, "Come here, turn off the palace lanterns around."
"yes."
The palace maid guarding the palace lantern extinguished it.
When the lights went out, those who didn't know what was going on became nervous and frightened.
"The purple orchid will shine brightly in the dark night." Bei Li's voice sounded again.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards Zi Youlan's position.
The flower, which had looked plain just now, now seemed to be infused with a soul, emitting a glowing pink light, and the flower swayed slightly as if it had life.
When Ye Qianning saw the real Zi Youlan for the first time, he sighed that there were so many wonders in the world.
"Why is it still moving?"
Nan Xiang was the closest and could clearly see that the flowers began to sway as soon as the lights went out.
"The purple orchid is also known as the purple demon lady. It usually grows in remote mountains where there are few people. From a distance, it looks like a dancing woman, hence the name demon lady." Concubine Zhan introduced.
The crowd was whispering, unable to conceal their amazement.
In the dark night, no one could see anyone except the purple orchid on the flower stand, and some people became bolder.
Ye Qianning suddenly pulled Sang Lanyu to his side, and then pulled Nan Xiang back. At the same time, Yingge beside him moved.
"how……"
"ah……"
Before Nan Xiang could utter a word of doubt, a scream cut through the air.
"There are assassins, protect the emperor, protect the emperor."
"You dog emperor, give me your life."
"Protect the emperor, protect the emperor..."
“Ah… Help…”
'puff……'
There was chaos in the dark night.
"Hurry and protect Master..."
"Senior sister, hide quickly."
The literati stood up from the ground and groped his way towards the direction where Ye Qianning had just stood.
"Someone come here..."
"Don't be afraid, Aning. I will protect you." Nan Xiang opened her eyes and stepped in front of her.
Screams continued to ring out.
A few palace lanterns were lit, and the battle situation could be vaguely seen. The scene was in chaos, many people had died, and the smell of blood filled the air.
The scholars were in chaos, their goal was clear, and they rushed towards Ye Qianning. During the process, they met the men in black, and they started throwing flower pots at them.
Nan Xiang gradually distanced herself from Ye Qianning during the fight.
The men in black and the Jinyiwei were also fighting, and Emperor Beili was protected and retreated to a nearby place.
The imperial concubine and a number of other concubines were blocked behind the rockery in the imperial garden, guarded by seven or eight Jinyiwei. Only Ye Qianning and Sang Lanyu were in the most conspicuous position.
It wasn't that Ye Qianning didn't want to dodge, but the Jinyiwei around her seemed to be deliberately trying to stop her. Every time Yingge tried to retreat to the rockery while protecting her, her legs were blocked by the injured Jinyiwei.
"Someone, come and save them."
Concubine Zhan tried to step forward several times, but was stopped by the young eunuch beside him.
"My lady, swords have no eyes, don't be impulsive."
The young eunuch grabbed the imperial concubine's sleeve tightly and tried to persuade her anxiously.
Concubine Zhan turned around and glared, "Let go."
"My dear, don't worry. The child is protected by someone and will be fine." Emperor Beili came to the side of Concubine Zhan without knowing when.
Concubine Zhan had a gloomy look on her face and clenched her fingers in her sleeves.
Sang Lanyu was held tightly by Ye Qianning. She had never seen such a scene before and felt a little scared.
"Don't be afraid."
Sang Lanyu raised her eyes to meet Ye Qianning's gaze, and inexplicably felt relieved: "Nian Ning, don't be afraid."
