The man who was sitting on the ground heard someone asking him a question, and he looked up and answered, "No, no."
He fell backwards and fainted, which scared Lianpeng, "Princess, this man seems to be dead."
Princess Kang Ren was horrified. She had killed someone. Even though she was a princess, she would still be punished.
He quickly put down the tablet, not caring about etiquette, and got off the carriage in a hurry to check the situation.
The driver reached out to feel the man's breath, "Princess, he's not dead, he just fainted."
"Lotus pod!" Princess Kang Ren was irritated by this stupid maid.
"Princess, I was wrong." Lian Peng admitted her mistake quickly, "Princess, what should we do with this person?"
Princess Kangren hesitated for a moment and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival. I'm afraid all the clinics are closed. Let's take him back to the palace."
"Princess, this person's identity is unknown, and he is a man, so it is not appropriate for him to ride in the same carriage with you." Another maid was more steady and tried to dissuade him.
"Are we just going to abandon him here?" Princess Kang Ren asked unhappily.
The maidservant did not dare to argue with her and just lowered her head in silence.
"There are differences between men and women, but that's not a reason to watch someone die without helping. It's the uncle's power to help his sister-in-law who is drowning." Princess Kang Ren forcefully asked the coachman to carry the man onto the carriage.
Before the carriage reached the palace, the guards ahead had already passed on a message. Jiang Changning knew that Princess Kang Ren had saved someone on the road and brought the person back to the palace, so he hurried out to greet her.
Princess Kang Ren looked a little uneasy when she saw Jiang Changning. "Aunt Wang."
Jiang Changning smiled and said, "Leave this matter to Aunt Wang. You can take your mother's tablet to the Buddhist temple."
"Yes." Princess Kangren bent her knees slightly, holding Qiao's tablet and left.
Jiang Changning looked at the man who was carried down by the coachman. It was said that the man was a little old. He was a teenager of eighteen or nineteen years old with a handsome appearance.
Judging from his facial features, he doesn't look like the type of person who would commit fraud.
But don’t judge a person by his appearance, there are many people who look kind but have evil hearts.
"Send the man to the guest house, rent a room for him, and then go to the street to ask a doctor to come and see him." Jiang Changning ordered.
"Yes, Princess." Chunlai responded.
"Second housekeeper, find four loyal and honest people to take care of him, so that when he wakes up, he won't wander around without knowing the situation." Jiang Changning said again.
"Yes, Princess." The second butler knew that this was a request for him to send someone to keep an eye on this kid.
After everything was arranged, Jiang Changning was about to turn around and go back to the inner house when Prince Jin's carriage came back.
Prince Jin got off the carriage and looked up to see Jiang Changning standing on the stone steps of the ceremonial gate. He strode over and asked, "Why did you come out here to pick me up in such a cold weather?"
"Your Highness, don't be so conceited. I'm not here to pick you up." Jiang Changning said with a smile.
"I don't believe it." King Jin took her hand and walked inside.
"It's true." Jiang Changning told him the truth.
Hearing that her arrangements were all appropriate, the King of Jin smiled and praised: "With a virtuous wife at home, there is nothing to worry about."
Jiang Changning smiled, "It was right to let the prince eat candied dates and Yuanxiao in the morning. His mouth is really sweet today."
"The princess already knows whether I am sweet or not."
"Your Highness." Jiang Changning called out coquettishly.
King Jin knew that Jiang Changning was outside and was being reserved, not as passionate as she was in bed. He chuckled twice and stopped teasing her.
The couple did not return to Rujing Courtyard, but went to the small Buddhist temple, burned incense for Mrs. Qiao, and comforted Princess Kangren with a few words before returning to the courtyard to spend some time together.
In the afternoon, a servant came to report: "My Lord, Princess, the young master who was placed in the guest house has woken up."
King Jin stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
Jiang Changning, who was using a small silver hammer to crack walnuts, answered with one word, "Okay."
The King of Jin went to the guest house and met the young man. The young man saw that the King of Jin was wearing a brocade robe and bowed and said, "Student Zhuo Xilan greets you, sir."
"What sir? This is the prince." Chang Youzhong shouted.
Zhuo Xilan quickly changed his words, "I greet His Majesty and pay my respects to His Majesty."
"The student accidentally heard something and alarmed the people inside. They chased the student, and the student ran forward in a panic, not knowing the way, and thus ran into your carriage."
"What did you hear?"
"The students heard something about kerosene and set it on fire," said Zhuo Xilan.
King Jin raised his eyebrows, "Where did you hear that?"
"At the entrance of Jiqing Alley."
"You stay here for the time being. Wait until I find out everything, then you can go back."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhuo Xilan felt relieved.
Because of this matter, the King of Jin went out again and did not return until almost dinner time.
After the meal, Prince Jin and Jiang Changning accompanied the concubine to the garden to watch the lanterns.
In the garden, I met the concubines of the King of Jin. "I have met the Queen Mother, I have met the Prince, I have met the Princess. I pay my respects to the Queen Mother, to the Prince, and to the Princess."
The toffee glanced at them and walked straight past them.
The King of Jin didn't even bother to glance at him. Only Jiang Changning said, "The weather isn't warm yet, don't wear such thin clothes."
The beauties who had changed into spring clothes shrank back.
When the Prince of Jin and his party walked away, a beauty complained, "The princess is too overbearing. She won't even let us watch the lanterns with the prince."
"The prince hasn't gone far yet, you can catch up with him." A beauty interrupted.
"If you want to die, no one will stop you."
"If you want to accompany the prince, don't drag us into it."
"Don't you want to?"
The others didn't say anything. They wanted to do it, but Prince Gang's attitude made them only dare to think about it.
"Are you still going to reward me? If not, just go back." Someone broke the silence.
"Reward, of course I will reward you. Isn't it enough to stay in your room every day?"
"That's right. That's right."
The concubines continued to enjoy the lanterns in the garden. Jiang Changning found craftsmen to make a batch of new lanterns for the garden.
There are vivid goldfish lanterns, intricately shaped lotus lanterns, simple and elegant revolving lanterns, and exquisitely crafted palace lanterns.
The concubine was very satisfied, "Brother Yu's daughter-in-law is really ingenious, especially those small lanterns hanging on the branches, which really look like stars in the sky."
"From a distance, it really looks like the Milky Way falling from the sky." Prince Jin echoed.
Jiang Changning was about to say something modest when he saw the sky was red, like a burning cloud. "Your Highness, look over there, is there a fire?"
King Jin narrowed his eyes and studied it for a moment. "It should be a fire."
His advance warning seemed to be of no use, as the fire still broke out.
"Where is the fire? Could it be the lighthouse again?" the concubine asked with a frown.
"I don't know. I'll send someone to ask." Prince Jin instructed Jiang Changning to take care of the concubine and was about to leave.
"The fire looks very big, you must not go in, be careful." The toffee warned.
As soon as Prince Jin left, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had no interest in watching the lanterns, so Jiang Changning helped the concubine back to the yard.
The concubine was talking about the past, "In the early years, there was a big fire at the lantern tower, which burned down the lantern tower that was more than ten meters high, injuring many people. The fire spread and burned a large area."
"I read in the county annals that more than 60,000 houses were burned down and more than a thousand people were killed."
"I hope the navy can put out the fire and avoid causing a major disaster."
The newly revealed Xiao Zhuo is a relative of Jiang Changning.
