In the middle of the night, both sides of the river were silent, with only the water flowing slowly.
The vanguard team, after figuring out the situation by the river, sneaked over quietly and successfully eliminated the guards.
Although this group of bandits was extremely brutal, they were a mob after all and would not set up camp or deploy secret sentries like a regular team.
In addition, they thought that as long as they guarded the bridge, the soldiers would not be able to cross. Not only did they relax their vigilance, but several leaders moved into the villagers' homes and took possession of their beautiful daughters-in-law and daughters.
They only woke up when the soldiers entered the village and tied them up.
The suspension bridge was lowered, and the Prince of Jin took the lead. When he was about to reach the other side, there was a sudden sound of breaking air, and then someone shouted, "Prince, be careful!"
"Ah!" Jiang Changning woke up from his sleep, sweating profusely.
Su Fei, who was on night watch, heard the noise and came in with a candlestick, "Princess, what's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"I'm not feeling unwell, I just had a nightmare." Jiang Changning pressed his chest.
My heart was pounding, and everything in the dream seemed so real.
The King of Jin was hit by an arrow shot from nowhere and was covered in blood.
Shu Fei rolled up one side of the gauze curtain and poured a glass of water over, "Princess, drink a glass of water and calm down."
Jiang Changning took the cup and drank the warm water in it in small sips.
"Princess, dreams are the opposite of what they actually are." Shu Fei saw that Jiang Changning's face was pale and tried to comfort her softly.
Jiang Changning curled his lips and handed the cup back to her, "I'm fine, you can go out and sleep."
"I'm not sleepy. Let me talk to the princess." Shu Fei said with a smile.
"Okay, let's chat." Jiang Changning smiled, "Shu Fei, do you have someone you like?"
"No." Shu Fei was very calm. She had never thought about this.
"The guy named Zeng Zhihe next to Uncle Nan is said to be very handsome and does very well in business." Jiang Changning smiled teasingly.
"Princess, you should go to sleep." Shu Fei said.
"Shu Fei, don't be shy about this important matter. If you really like someone, tell me and I will make the decision for you."
"Princess, you should go to sleep." Shu Fei said with a blushing face.
As she spoke, she helped Jiang Changning lie down, tucked in the quilt, put down the curtains, and walked out with the candlestick in hand, "Princess, call me if you want to go to the toilet."
The light in the room dimmed again. Jiang Changning looked at the ceiling of the tent with a frown on his face.
The Prince of Jin was going there to provide disaster relief, so logically, there should be no danger.
But what happened due to the snowstorm is still vivid in our minds.
Jiang Changning was worried that the nightmare was a kind of telepathy between the couple. She touched her belly and said to herself, "Baby, you won't be a posthumous child, will you?"
After saying this, she quickly threw this terrible thought out of her mind, "No, Your Majesty is a lucky person, everything will be fine."
Sometimes I feel that Prince Jin will be fine, and sometimes I feel that Prince Jin has returned to the underworld.
The two thoughts alternated between each other, making Jiang Changning upset and confused, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
At dawn, she got up and announced that she was going to Huangjue Temple in the suburbs to burn incense.
Shu Fei knew that it was probably the nightmare last night that gave her this idea, so she hurriedly said, "Princess, if you want to go to the temple to burn incense, you can go to the Wenxin Temple in the city. There is no need to go to the Huangjue Temple."
Jiang Changning curled her lips and said, "Wenxin Temple is not effective." She made a wish for her wet nurse to recover, but she did not recover and died of illness.
"Princess, you are pregnant with such a big belly. The Concubine Dowager will not let you go to Huangjue Temple to burn incense." Fangju said seriously.
Jiang Changning lowered his eyes and looked at his stomach. That was true. "Let's go to Wenxin Temple."
She met Prince Jin in Wenxin Temple. Maybe that place was Prince Jin's lucky place, and the Bodhisattva might bless Prince Jin.
The Concubine Dowager also disagreed when Jiang Changning went to Wenxin Temple.
On the way, Yan Yinyao asked the reason, Jiang Changning hesitated for a moment and told him the truth.
"Cousin, dreams are the opposite of reality. My cousin must be fine." Yan Yinyao held her hand and comforted her.
"I know he is fine, I just want to go to the temple to seek peace of mind." Jiang Changning said softly.
"The more you worship gods, the more they will bless you." Yan Yinyao said with a smile.
Arriving at Wenxin Temple, Jiang Changning knelt before the Bodhisattva despite her big belly and prayed devoutly, "Believers Jiang Changning, I pray to the Bodhisattva to bless my husband to return safely, and not let my children lose their father."
Yan Yinyao also prayed to the Bodhisattva and helped Jiang Changning up. The aunt and sister-in-law did not rush back, but went to the pagoda behind.
The first time she came to the pagoda, Jiang Changning met Prince Jin, and this time, she met Xie Baoyin.
Jiang Changning wanted to pass by her, but Xie Baoyin asked, "Sister Ning, can we find a place to sit down and talk?"
"There's no need for that." Jiang Changning refused.
"Sister Ning, even if I did something wrong, you should give me a chance to explain and apologize." Xie Baoyin said.
Jiang Changning smiled faintly, "No need to explain, no need to apologize."
Xie Baoyin bit the corner of her lip, with an aggrieved look on her face.
"Mrs. Qin, if people see you like this, they will misunderstand that I bullied you, but I obviously didn't." Jiang Changning sneered.
"Cousin, don't stop for irrelevant people. Let's go." Yan Yinyao glanced at Xie Yingyin.
Xie Baoyin looked at Jiang Changning's receding back, with a hint of resentment in her eyes. She didn't actually do anything, but why did Jiang Changning hold such a grudge
Perhaps Jiang Changning never thought of being friends with her, which is why he immediately withdrew his kindness towards her after a small incident.
Xie Baoyin snorted coldly, "Hypocritical woman."
Jiang Changning had no idea what she was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He would only be thankful that his friendship with Xie Baoyin was not deep enough so that he wouldn't be too sad if they broke off the friendship.
After coming out of Wenxin Temple, Jiang Changning and his group went straight back.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and when it turned to Wangfu Street, it suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yinyao asked.
"There is a group of people ahead, blocking the road. I don't know why, but I've sent someone to ask about the situation." Xiaochun replied.
After a while, the guard who asked about the situation reported back: "Princess, Prince Yu is taking a concubine and she will enter the palace today."
Jiang Changning's eyes moved slightly, "Princess Yu's actions are quite quick. It's only been a few days and she has already carried the person into the palace."
After a pause, he said, "Shu Fei, remember to remind me to send the backup gifts to Prince Yu's Mansion according to the old custom."
"Yes, Princess." Su Fei replied.
After a while, the road was open.
When I returned to the mansion, I learned that Princess Yi Ya had sent a visiting card, saying that she would visit the mansion the next day.
The Concubine Dowager has replied to the invitation. The distinguished guest is here and we await your arrival.
The Prince of Jin's Mansion and Princess Yiya's Mansion do not have much contact with each other, and they only exchange gifts according to etiquette during festivals.
"Princess Yi Ya came here suddenly. I wonder what's the matter?" Jiang Changning asked.
"She never does anything without benefits," the concubine said sarcastically.
Jiang Changning raised his eyebrows. What benefits would Prince Jin's Mansion bring that would require Princess Yiya to come
