Chapter 301 A Fire Killing Two Birds
Xiao Yingchun followed Fu Chenan along the long street and saw all kinds of handmade lanterns, large and small. It was impossible not to be moved.
In this era, industry was still very backward. There was no electricity, so lights had to be tied one by one and lit one by one.
To prepare such a river of lights, not to mention material resources, we don’t know how much manpower it will cost.
In order to save money, Fu Zhonghai gathered half of the people in the palace and put them in the shop as shopkeepers and masters, but for his daughter-in-law who had not yet married, he ordered someone to build such a grand lantern river...
Fu Chenan bought two of the most common white rabbit lanterns, one in Xiao Yingchun's hand and one in his hand.
“Hey, one of us?” Fu Chenan smiled naively, and Xiao Yingchun couldn’t help laughing.
The legs and feet of the lantern seller were obviously trembling. He looked at the shining silver ingot handed over by the attendant beside the prince and did not dare to reach out to take it.
The guard pushed it over and said, "Take it for you! How can our Crown Prince take advantage of these two lanterns of yours?"
The guard's voice was a little louder, and the lantern seller was too weak. As soon as he softened, he knelt down: "Grass... grass... grass people dare not..."
Fu Chenan's voice was gentle: "Take it, today is the festival, everyone is happy."
Xiao Yingchun also laughed: "Yes, everyone is happy, and you are happy too."
" Many... many... many thanks to His Highness the Crown Prince..."
When the merchant got up with difficulty, he realized that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the beautiful girl had gone away.
He looked down at the small silver ingot in his hand as if in a dream.
It's true, money can't be faked.
Remembering the voices of the prince and the girl, the merchant fell into a trance.
Is that the quasi-Crown Princess?
She had a nice smile...
Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun were carrying rabbit lanterns. Not far after they walked out, there was a commotion in front of them.
Two men started fighting over a gauze lantern. One of them pulled hard and hit a woman behind him on the top of her head.
The candle in the lantern became crooked in an instant, and the lantern was lit instantly!
The lantern burst into flames, and the flames of the lantern fell on the woman's head and shoulders, and a strand of her hair was instantly ignited!
Seeing that the sky lantern was about to be lit, she was so frightened that she screamed!
“Ah!”
As she screamed, the people around her began to scurry and dodge back.
When the two men fighting for the lantern saw that the lantern fell on the head of the person behind them, they were so frightened that they turned around and ran away. They had no intention of taking responsibility!
A guard shouted: "Where is the Hidden Fire Army?"
The Hidden Fire Army, who had been prepared, hurried forward and poured a basin of water over their heads.
There was a soft "pop" sound, and the woman was chilled to her heart.
The flames died down and her screams stopped.
After some of his black hair was burned off, it hung wetly on his head, looking extremely miserable.
Even though it was cold and she was wearing thick clothes, her embarrassment reached its peak at this moment!
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, my hair...” The woman cried helplessly.
When the crisis was over, someone shouted: "It's okay, it's okay! There is a submersible fire team!"
"The person was saved..."
The person was saved? !
The panic of the people was relieved instantly, and the fleeing people slowed down and looked back.
But there are still some people running around in fear.
A young lady from an aristocratic family aimed in the direction of Fu Chenan and ran towards this direction, looking panicked: "Your Highness, help me..."
Fu Chenan had already made arrangements, and the guards immediately stopped the young lady from the aristocratic family.
Fu Chenan's first reaction after the woman was in danger was to protect Xiao Yingchun in his arms while looking around him warily.
Are these people coming after me? !
Xiao Yingchun was obedient at first, but after hearing someone shout, "The man has been saved," Xiao Yingchun stopped working.
Especially when a woman pretended to shout "Your Highness, help me", she stuck her head out of Fu Chenan's arms persistently and firmly.
Don't stop me, I want to read the gossip!
Fu Chenan let go of his hand helplessly.
As soon as Xiao Yingchun poked her head out, she saw a guard snatching a full basin of water from the diving team and pouring it on the head of the woman who rushed over! "Pfft..."
Woman:...
The carefully dressed makeup and hairstyle were washed away in an instant, leaving only a laid-back woman like a water ghost.
"Ah..." The woman quickly reached out to cover her face.
The guard who snatched the water basin from the diving team said in a serious tone: "Since the lady is afraid of danger, I will take precautions for the lady."
"The lady should not be caught in the light now. And, there won’t be men all over the street who only go after the Crown Prince.”
It would be better to just say that she covets the Crown Prince.
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at the woman.
Yes, the streets were full of men, and she also brought her servants with her. Why did she go straight to His Royal Highness, who was ten meters away? !
Isn’t this just coveting His Highness the Crown Prince?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" After being exposed, the woman covered her face and cried in frustration.
She did not dare to refute, let alone let His Highness the Crown Prince see her embarrassment.
A maid took a spare cloak and hurriedly stepped forward: "Miss..."
Under the hood of the cloak, the maid supported her and was about to walk towards her carriage.
The woman whose hair was burned was also covered with a cloak and was about to be sent to her carriage.
"Wait!" A woman's voice sounded slightly hoarse, and everyone looked at the woman.
The woman who spoke was not particularly beautiful, but her round face, curved eyebrows and tall and straight figure made people inexplicably think of the words "Guotai and Minan".
"It's Miss Miao!"
"Miss Miao is here!"
The tone was full of respect.
Xiao Yingchun raised her head in shock and looked at Fu Chenan: Who is Miss Miao?
Why do these people look so respectful?
"Pei Jiyue, you asked someone to hurt my second cousin, and you just want to leave like this?"
Miss Miao's tone was unhurried, but she had an air of authority without anger.
"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Jiyue was the woman who just ran towards Fu Chenan. Her tone was sharp and sharp, but she had an inexplicable guilty conscience.
"Are I talking nonsense? Just ask the two people who grabbed the lantern just now!"
"Those people have run away, how can you ask?!" Pei Jiyue answered immediately.
"Who said they ran away?"
"I hurt my second cousin, how can I tell them to run away?!"
A voice from behind the crowd shouted: "Give way... ..."
The crowd made a way, and several servants walked in escorting two men.
It was actually the two men who grabbed the lantern just now.
They were actually captured again? !
Both of them shrank their necks and lowered their heads, their clothes were messy, and they looked guilty.
Guotai Min'an looked at Fu Chen'an, bowed first, and then said slowly: "Your Highness, my daughter is Miao Wangyue, the daughter of Miao Wenyuan, the president of Hongwen Academy."
"The one who was injured just now is my second cousin Hu Yanjiao."
"Pei Jiyue was jealous of my cousin's good hair, so she deliberately asked someone to light her hair. She also wanted to win the favor of the prince..."< br>
"This is a fire that kills two birds with one stone. The means are not high, but the heart is ruthless."
"Now that my sister is injured, the instigator wants to escape unscathed, but I won't agree."
"Also. Please make the decision, Your Highness."
"You are talking nonsense! When did I give instructions to them?" Pei Jiyue changed his face and yelled.
"Did you instigate it? If these two people enter the City Defense Department, they will naturally tell the whole story clearly."
The words "City Defense Department" immediately caused the expressions of the two men who were captured to change.
After entering the City Defense Department, who can escape the eighteen kinds of torture?
One of them immediately spat out: "I said! I said..."
