Chapter 175 Civil turmoil

"Be a helping hand to those who drown on the road. Since she fell in front of my car, I can't just die without saving her." Jiang Changning touched the gold bracelet on his wrist.

"Xiao Chun, you go along and send her to the hospital in front. Pay enough for the consultation and let the people at the hospital take good care of her."

"My slave understands." Xiao Chun got off the carriage, picked up the unconscious woman, and, accompanied by two guards, headed to the medical center in front.

Jiang Changning lowered the curtains and said, "Go back home."

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the person watching in secret was dumbfounded, "Why didn't she take the person back to her house to take care of her? Isn't it to say that Princess Jin was very kind-hearted, and she was the first to come out to give porridge and medicine to save people."

"Ask me how I know."

"What should we do now?"

"What can I do? Go back and report to the master."

The two quietly left from their hiding place.

When Jiang Changning returned to his mansion, he put the matter behind him.

She didn't believe that this woman could bring harm to the house while she was in the hospital.

The guard dutifully reported the matter to King Jin, who sent his men to investigate to see who had set up a trap to deceive his little princess.

King Jin blocked the storm outside, and Jiang Changning was at home peacefully, taking care of the housework.

The disaster relief work of the Relief Department was very impressive.

However, this day, Shu Fei came back with a pale face.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiulan poured her a cup of hot tea.

Shu Fei was not in a hurry to speak. He finished the cup of hot tea and then calmly said, "The fight is about to begin."

"No brainer, who is fighting with whom?" Xiulan asked.

"The government servants of the Disaster Relief Department got into a fight with the victims. Many people died and blood flowed like rivers."

Xiulan was shocked, "It's not disaster relief, why are you beating the victims?"

"I don't know the reason. Anyway, there was trouble over there in the west of the city." Shu Fei patted his chest, "I almost couldn't come back."

"Don't talk nonsense, you won't be able to come back." Xiulan glared at her.

After rinsing the pot and pouring a cup of hot tea, her heart was still beating fast.

"You rest in the room, and I'll ask the little girl to make you a bowl of calming soup. Don't tell the princess about this, so as not to scare the princess."

"I don't plan to tell the princess."

Xiulan raised the curtain and went out, letting the little girl make a calming soup.

Jiang Changning finished practicing calligraphy in his room, "What time is it? Why hasn't Shu Fei come back yet?"

"Princess, do you want to be a slave?" Shu Fei drank the calming soup, recovered as usual, and came to serve her.

Jiang Changning smiled, "You just walked out the door, what do I want you to do?"

"I want my slave to tell the princess what's new on the street." Shu Fei picked up a dry towel and handed it to Jiang Changning.

Jiang Changning took the towel, wiped off the water on his hands, and sat on the kang, "Anything new today?"

"Yes." Shu Fei made up something casually to explain away her late return.

However, Jiang Changning still knew about the conflict between the relief department's government officials and the victims, because the King of Jin sent a team of people to guard the door of the mansion and asked her not to go out casually.

"What happened?" Jiang Changning asked.

"Victims from surrounding towns came to Beijing and clashed with people from the Relief Department, causing bloodshed."

Jiang Changning frowned, "Why would the people from the Relief Department conflict with the victims?"

"It is said that a government official fell in love with the wife of a disaster victim and wanted to take it away, which triggered a fight. Now tens of thousands of people gathered in the west of the city and occupied Xizhimen. They used Xizhimen as a stronghold to confront the officers and soldiers of the imperial court."

"Without the Relief Department, the victims were safe and sound, but with the Relief Department, civil unrest broke out. Should Prince Ding be held accountable?" Jiang Changning said angrily.

"This morning, the imperial censor has impeached me." King Jin said.

"What's the point of just impeaching him? He should be sent to prison." Jiang Changning said with a stern face.

Prince Jin touched her face and said, "Don't worry, I won't let him off lightly."

As the snow kept falling, the number of victims increased, and even some poor people in the city joined in, creating a huge momentum.

The city wall in Beijing is high and strong, but it is to resist foreign enemies. Now the victims of the disaster have occupied Xizhimen. Inside the city, the advantage of the officers and soldiers is that they are physically stronger than the victims.

"There was another fight today. Both sides suffered casualties. Even General Xiong took an arrow." Xiao Chun came back from outside to inquire about the news.

Jiang Changning sighed, "This is the government forcing the people to rebel, and the king has committed a great crime."

Prince Ding, who committed a great evil, was imprisoned in Zong Shensi.

The emperor wanted to protect King Ding, but the impeachment memorials from the imperial censor came one after another, and the King of Jin and others refused to give up. He could only punish King Ding with small punishments and severe punishments.

That night, after the couple made love, Jiang Changning fell asleep in the arms of King Jin.

In the middle of the night, a loud bang woke Jiang Changning up, and he asked in panic: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Prince Jin gently stroked her back.

"Boom!" There was another loud noise, and Jiang Changning sat up, "Does it sound like a cannon?"

"It's the sound of cannons." King Jin confirmed her guess.

"How could the fort fire?" Jiang Changning's heart sank. Whether it was the officers and soldiers firing cannons at the victims, or the victims grabbing the fort and firing cannons at the officers and soldiers, the scene was very tragic.

King Jin got out of bed and said, "I'll go out and see what's going on."

"Be careful, cannonballs have no eyes, so don't get too close." Jiang Changning warned worriedly.

"Don't worry about me. If you are afraid, go to the Liuxuan Courtyard." King Jin tied his belt and walked out.

"I'll go to my mother's concubine in a moment." Jiang Changning also got up and walked him to the door, watching his figure gradually disappear into the night.

The loud "boom" shook the house and everyone in the house was awakened.

"Spring is coming, Xiao Chun, you take people to check the door, don't let others take the opportunity to cause trouble." Jiang Changning has calmed down.

"Xiulan, Banqin, you go to the princess and bring her to the Liuxuan Courtyard." Jiang Changning ordered.

After arranging things, Jiang Changning went to Liuxuan Courtyard.

When they arrived at Liuxuan Courtyard, they saw the concubine sitting in the warm pavilion anxiously. Just as she was about to salute and say hello, the concubine asked first, "Where is Yu'er?"

"The prince is out." Jiang Changning replied.

"How could you let him go out? It's such a mess outside, can you handle it if something happens?" the concubine said angrily.

"Concubine, the prince is going out, can I stop him?" Although Jiang Changning was considerate of her motherly nature, he was not happy to be yelled at by her like this, and his tone was a little cold.

"Useless thing." The concubine scolded.

Jiang Changning took a deep breath and said, holding back his temper: "The prince has people with him, there will be no danger. Concubine, please don't worry."

"You are deaf, didn't you hear the sound of the cannons? Cannons are being fired outside, isn't it dangerous?" the princess asked angrily.

Jiang Changning simply stopped talking, but the concubine was still dissatisfied with her silence, "Are you mute?"

"I heard the concubine speak very energetically, so I shouldn't have been frightened. I won't bother the concubine here." Jiang Changning turned around and walked out.
