Chapter 197 Arson

The man who was slumped on the ground heard someone asking, raised his head and replied: "No, no."

He fell back and fainted, startling Lianpeng, "Princess, this man seems to be dead."

Princess Kangren was so frightened that she killed someone. Even though she was the princess, she would still be punished.

He quickly put down the memorial tablet, not caring about etiquette, and hurriedly got out of the carriage to check the situation.

The driver had reached out to feel the man's breath, "Princess, the man is not dead, he just fainted."

"Lotus!" Princess Kangren was angered by this stupid maid.

"Princess, this slave is wrong." Lian Peng admitted her mistake very quickly, "Princess, what should I do with this person?"

Princess Kangren pondered for a moment and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, and the medical clinics are probably closed. Let's take him back to the palace."

"Princess, this person's identity is unknown, and he is a man. It is not appropriate for him to ride in the same carriage with you." Another maid was more prudent and spoke to dissuade him.

"Are we just going to leave him here and ignore him?" Princess Kangren asked displeasedly.

The maid did not dare to argue with her and kept her head down.

"The difference between men and women is not a reason not to save him. Sister-in-law and uncle Dron have the right to help him." Princess Kangren forcefully asked the coachman to carry the man into the carriage.

Before the carriage arrived at the palace, the advancing guards had already delivered a message inside. Jiang Changning knew that Princess Kangren had rescued someone on the road and had brought him back to the palace, so he hurried out to greet her.

Princess Kangren saw a little uneasiness on her face when she saw Jiang Changning, "Wang, Aunt Wang."

Jiang Changning smiled and said: "Leave this matter to Aunt Wang. You can send the tablet of your mother and concubine to the Buddhist hall."

"Yes." Princess Kangren slightly bent her knees, held Qiao's memorial tablet and left.

Jiang Changning looked at the man who was carried off by the driver and said that he was a man. He was a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a handsome appearance.

Judging from his facial appearance, he doesn't look like he's going to hit porcelain.

But people should not be judged by their appearance. There are too many good faces and evil hearts.

"Send the person to the guest house, open a wing to accommodate him, and then go to the street to ask a doctor to look at him." Jiang Changning ordered.

"Yes, Princess." Chunlai responded.

"Second housekeeper, find four loyal and honest people to take care of him, so that he won't wake up and wander around unaware of the situation." Jiang Changning said again.

"Yes, Princess." The second housekeeper knew that this was asking him to send someone to keep an eye on this kid.

After the arrangements were made, Jiang Changning was about to turn around and go back to the inner house when Prince Jin's carriage came back.

King Jin got off the carriage and looked up to see Jiang Changning standing on the stone steps of Yimen, striding over, "Why did you come outside to pick me up in such a cold weather?"

"My lord, don't be sentimental, I'm not here to pick you up." Jiang Changning said with a smile.

"I don't believe it." Prince Jin took her hand and walked inside.

"It's true." Jiang Changning told him the truth.

After hearing that her arrangements were all in order, the King of Jin smiled and praised: "With a good wife at home, everything will be worry-free."

Jiang Changning smiled, "It was right to let the prince eat candied dates and Yuanxiao this morning. His mouth is so sweet today."

"Whether my mouth is sweet or not, the princess already knows."

"Your Majesty," Jiang Changning called out coquettishly.

King Jin knew that Jiang Changning was outside and was not as enthusiastic as he was in bed. He chuckled twice and stopped teasing her.

The couple did not go back to Rujing Courtyard, but went to the small Buddhist hall, offered incense sticks to Mrs. Qiao, and comforted Princess Kangren for a few words before returning to the courtyard to Niwai.

In the afternoon, a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, Princess, the young master who was placed in the guest courtyard is awake."

King Jin stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."

Jiang Changning, who smashed the walnuts with small silver coins, answered with one word, "Okay."

King Jin went to the guest house and met the young man. When the young man saw King Jin wearing a brocade robe, he saluted and said, "Student Zhuo Xilan has met your Excellency."

"Sir, this is the prince." Chang Youzhong shouted.

Zhuo Xilan quickly changed his words, "The student has met the prince and wishes him well."

"I heard you claim that you are a student here to attend the Spring Festival. Why are you running around on the street?" King Jin asked in a deep voice.

"The students accidentally overheard something and alarmed the people inside. They chased the students. The students ran forward in a panic and did not know the way, so they bumped into your carriage."

"What did you hear?"

"The students heard something about kerosene and set fire to it," Zhuo Xilan said.

King Jin raised his eyebrows, "Where did you hear that?"

"At the entrance of Jiqing Alley."

"You stay here temporarily, and you can go back after I find out."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhuo Xilan felt relieved.

Because of this incident, King Jin went out again and didn't come back until it was almost time for dinner.

After dinner, King Jin and Jiang Changning accompanied the concubine to the garden to watch the lanterns.

I met Prince Jin’s group of concubines in the garden, “I’ve seen the concubine, I’ve seen the prince, I’ve met the princess, I’m going to say hello to the concubine, I’m going to say hello to the prince, and I’m going to say hello to the princess.”

The concubine glanced at them and walked straight past them.

King Jin didn't even bother to glance at him. Only Jiang Changning said, "The weather hasn't warmed up yet, so don't wear such thin clothes."

The beauties who had changed into spring clothes shrank their bodies.

When King Jin and his entourage walked away, a beauty complained: "The princess is so overbearing and won't let us watch the lanterns with the prince."

"The prince hasn't gone far yet, you can catch up." A beauty interjected.

"If you want to die, no one will stop you."

"If you want to accompany the prince, don't get involved with us."

"Don't you want to?"

The others didn't speak, they were thinking about it, but Prince Gang's attitude made them only dare to think about it.

"Are you going to give me a reward? If not, just give it back." Someone broke the silence.

"Reward, of course reward, isn't it enough to be bored in the room every day?"

"That's right, that's right."

The concubines continued to enjoy the lanterns in the garden. Jiang Changning found a craftsman and made a new batch of lanterns in the garden.

There are vivid goldfish lanterns, complex lotus lanterns, simple and elegant revolving lanterns, and exquisite palace lanterns.

The concubine was very satisfied after seeing it, "Brother Yu's daughter-in-law is very ingenious, especially the small lanterns hanging on the branches, they really look like stars in the sky."

"Looking from a distance, it really looks like the Milky Way has fallen into the sky." King Jin agreed.

Jiang Changning was about to say a few words of humility when he saw the sky was bright red, like burning clouds, "My lord, look over there, is there a fire?"

King Jin squinted his eyes and looked at it for a moment, "There must be a fire."

His advance warning seemed to be of no use, and a fire broke out anyway.

"Where did the fire break out? Could it be the lantern building again?" the concubine asked with a frown.

"I don't know. I'll send someone to find out." King Jin asked Jiang Changning to take care of the concubine, and then he lifted his legs and left.

"The fire looks very big. Don't go in there. Be careful." The concubine warned.

As soon as King Jin left, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not interested in admiring the lanterns. Jiang Changning helped the concubine back to the courtyard.

The concubine was talking about old things, "In the early years, there was also a fire at the lantern tower, which burned down the lantern tower more than ten feet high, injuring many people. The fire spread and burned a large area.

"

"I read in the County Chronicle that it was recorded that more than 60,000 houses were burned down and more than a thousand people were burned to death."

"I hope the Navy can put out the fire and avoid causing a major disaster."

The new Xiao Zhuo is related to Jiang Changning.
