After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 362: Falling into their hands, the character's descent into darkness begins.

Jiang Hanying threw out three ginkgo fruits in a matter of seconds.

Two bullets hit the little guy's leg and the tip of his tail that was hooked on a branch, and the last one hit him right on the forehead.

The first two stones made the little guy subconsciously let go of the branches with his feet and tail. Unable to go any higher, he could only jump down a bit. The one that hit him right on the forehead made his head buzz and he almost fell off the tree.

Jiang Hanying seized the opportunity and reached out to grab the little creature by the neck, which hadn't yet come to its senses.

"Now you're in my hands!"

monkey:"……"

Pei Yuan's voice came from under the tree: "Sister, why don't you come down first? If the little monkey can't be found, it can't be found. But you're climbing so high, I'm scared!"

As soon as the sound came, Jiang Hanying felt the little thing under her hands tense up for a moment, then quickly recover, so quickly it was like an illusion.

"I'm coming down now."

Although she had an extra little thing in her hand, it didn't slow down Jiang Hanying's speed in getting down the tree.

After a few leaps and bounds among the branches, he finally grabbed the trunk with one hand and, when he was about two or three meters off the ground, let go and jumped down, landing steadily.

Pei Yuan's heart, which had been pounding in her throat, finally settled back down after seeing her come down unharmed.

Then I saw the little guy she was holding in her hand.

His eyes immediately lit up: "Little monkey!"

"Sis, you really found the little monkey! It's so small and cute!" she said, reaching out to touch it.

"what!"

Jiang Hanying looked down at the little guy who was still baring his teeth and threatening people while being held in her hand. The little guy blinked and silently shut up.

Pei Yuan awkwardly withdrew her hand and chuckled dryly, "You've got quite a temper, haven't you?"

After all this commotion, the sky had already darkened considerably.

Pei Yuan glanced at the time. "Sister, we have to go back, but what about this little monkey?"

Jiang Hanying thought about it seriously for a moment, then said, "How about we find a cage..."

Noticing the tension emanating from the little thing in his hand, he looked down at it again.

Before she could finish speaking, Pei Yuan waved her hands frantically, "No, no, we can't put it in a cage, that would be illegal imprisonment of a protected animal. I reckon this little monkey came down from the nearby mountains. How about I look up the contact information for the local animal protection department and send it back to the mountains?"

“No need for all that trouble,” Jiang Hanying said, letting go of her hand. “It knows where to go on its own.”

Pei Yuan saw a golden shadow flash by in front of her, and when she looked again, she saw that the little monkey that was originally in Han Ying's hand had returned to the branch of the ginkgo tree.

After a few more leaps, they disappeared from sight.

She looked away with a sense of loss; she hadn't even had a chance to touch it herself yet, and it must feel really nice!

At the same time, there were some concerns: "Now that the palace is open for filming, with so many people coming and going, what if the little monkey gets spotted by someone with ill intentions? And what about those fans on the hillside? I wonder if they managed to take any pictures?"

Jiang Hanying clapped her hands, brushing away a few strands of golden fur, and then smoothed out the wrinkles of her skirt, which was tucked into her waistband. Her tone was indifferent. "That's its fate. Go back!"

Pei Yuan hesitated, but seeing that Sister Hanying had already walked towards the film set, she quickly followed after her, turning her head back several times as she did so.

Just as the two figures disappeared at the end of the palace wall, a golden hue on the ginkgo tree fell back to the ground along with the rustling leaves.

This time, the small figure didn't turn away like last time. Instead, it nimbly jumped onto the wall and then ran quickly along it.

Not long after returning to the set and sitting down, the director sent someone over to call her. Jiang Hanying first went over to rehearse with Gu Wang, Wen Song, and others who would be acting opposite her later, then quickly tidied her hair and touched up her makeup. Just as she saw the sky above her head filled with red clouds on one side and a crescent moon emerging from gray with a hint of blue on the other, the timing was perfect.

The director quickly announced the official start of filming.

This scene is about Li Minghe, who was originally just a palace maid, who devised a plan to save the emperor, caught the eye of the new emperor, and was rewarded for her merits.

As we all know, filming on set is never done from the beginning, following the plot step by step.

It is often affected by the on-site setup and even the weather.

This time, because of the weather, we moved the scenes that were originally filmed earlier to the last scene.

Gu Wang plays Emperor Suwen, Zhou Yinchu, who has just ascended the throne and has not yet completely purged the court and the harem. Li Minghe seizes the opportunity and secretly instigates the former crown prince's people in the palace to assassinate him. The original owner of the body was just a palace maid serving tea in front of the emperor. However, at this critical moment, she disregarded her own safety and caught the sharp dagger that was thrust at her with her bare hands.

This was also part of her plan. Of course, if she knew early on that someone was going to assassinate her, she could have found something to block the dagger instead of using her hands directly.

However, in front of an emperor who sees through everything, an ordinary palace maid with only a pretty face would not have such a quick reaction speed.

He immediately chose to take a risky gamble, simply because it was a burst of potential under duress, all for the sake of saving his lord.

She undoubtedly made the right move, as the emperor made an exception and summoned the imperial physician, who usually only examined the emperor and his concubines, to treat her hand. Afterward, he even asked her name and what reward she wanted.

He bluntly stated that he would even be willing to become a member of the harem.

Li Minghe, however, did the opposite, saying he only wanted to become a councilor.

From palace maid to female official.

The emperor was surprised for a moment, but immediately granted permission.

They even thought this little palace maid was a good person because she didn't covet power.

In reality, Li Minghe simply felt that the identity of a palace lady-in-waiting would make it easier to achieve his goals.

This part of the story also marks the beginning of Li Minghe's secret machinations in the harem. Originally, he only wanted to seek justice for the people who had been bullied in the past, but he gradually lost himself in the pursuit of power.

Just by looking at how the director waited until the natural light was just right before starting to film, you can tell how much he valued this scene and how he wanted to make it perfect.

After all, the character Li Minghe caused the most trouble for the male and female leads in the entire drama, and even almost caused the emperor and empress to drift apart.

But this also puts a lot of pressure on the actors on set.

After all, the perfect daylight only lasts for a short while, and then it gets dark. If an actor makes a mistake or forgets their lines during filming, there's no chance to start over. To get that perfect daylight again, you'd have to wait at least another day and night.

Not only the actors who will be performing in this play, but also the other staff members on set are on high alert.

"start!"

Field recorder.

Li Minghe, played by Jiang Hanying, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for Emperor Suwen, who was writing at his desk. Just then, a guard came in to report something, so she took a few steps back and stood in the shadows.

The director looked at the screen and nodded. "This movement is good. Moving from bright to dark represents the character gradually walking into darkness."

He didn't call "cut," so we continued filming.

At this moment, the guard who came to report stepped forward and was about to present the report when the eunuch standing by was about to take it. However, the eunuch was suddenly kicked aside, and then a gleaming dagger was thrust straight at Emperor Suwen, who had just raised his head after realizing something was wrong.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

In a flash, a pale hand, without hesitation, grasped the gleaming black dagger, and blood instantly flowed freely...
