Chapter 104: Calculated

The closer we get to Qingshui Bridge, the more people there are, and it’s almost impossible to walk even a single step.

"It feels like everyone in the capital has come out, and they all crowded to the Qingshui Bridge." Crown Princess Deok said jokingly.

"Who said that walking on Qingshui Bridge is the most effective way to cure all kinds of diseases, but they all come here." Mrs. Zhongqinbo said with a smile.

At this time, a cry suddenly came from the front, "Oh no, someone fell into the water."

"Stop squeezing, stop squeezing, someone has fallen into the water, help them quickly."

"Someone jumped to save someone."

Jiang Changning said: "Something happened ahead."

"Every year, people are pushed off the bridge and fall into the water." Mrs. Zhongqinbo said.

"It's such a cold day that it would be uncomfortable to fall into the water." Jiang Changning frowned.

"We can't get over the chaos like this." Princess Jingduan looked displeased. "It's like this every year. Either this kind of thing happens or that kind of thing happens. How do the city defense troops do their jobs?"

Jiang Changning was a little confused, why was the eldest princess Jingduan so angry?

However, Princess Deok and Mrs. Zhongqin knew that Uncle Shang De and Zheng Limin failed in their bid to command the city defense army. From then on, the eldest princess Jingduan disliked the city defense army.

"Let's go back to Fuli Duck Soup Shop first," Mrs. Zhao suggested uneasily.

There are too many people here, and they will be in danger if there is a stampede.

"Go back, go back quickly." Princess De Wang turned around and walked back.

The street has become a mess, everyone is squeezing around, and from time to time someone is heard screaming.

Some local ruffians like to take advantage of the chaos to do things.

With maids and guards protecting them, the group of people successfully moved away from Qingshui Bridge, where the incident occurred.

"There is no need to go back to the Fuli Duck Soup Shop. Let's have a cup of tea in this teahouse and take a break. When the matter at Qingshui Bridge is settled and the crowd disperses, we can go there again," Mrs. Zhongqinbo said.

"Alright." Princess Jingduan agreed.

Mrs. Zhongqinbo's proposal was very reasonable, and Jiang Changning had no objection. However, she accidentally saw Mrs. Zhongqinbo smiling from the side.

Jiang Changning felt strange, why was he snickering?

And what’s so funny?

Princess Jingduan agreed to her proposal, so she smiled happily?

If this is the case, there is no need for her to smile sideways.

Jiang Changning was not familiar with Mrs. Zhongqinbo and didn't know what her temperament was. After a brief analysis, he couldn't figure out the original reason, so he could only stop thinking about it.

Business at the Lantern Festival tea house was average. They went to a private dining room on the second floor and ordered a pot of scented tea and three plates of snacks.

While the women were drinking tea in the teahouse, the men in Fuli Duck Soup Shop were shocked when they received the news that someone had fallen into the water at Qingshui Bridge.

The man who could accompany the main wife to watch the lanterns, at least on the surface, loved the main wife. After hearing the news, several people immediately came out of the store and went to Qingshui Bridge.

Halfway through, we met a group of city defense troops.

The person escorted by the city defense army is... Princess Kangren.

"Kang Ren, what happened?" King Jin asked eagerly.

"Uncle." Princess Kangren cried in her voice, "Concubine, my concubine drowned."

Even though the King of Jin never acted calmly, he was shocked when he heard about this incident.

At this time, he saw the guards of Prince Jin's Mansion carrying the door panel.

King Jin stepped forward and lifted a corner of the linen cloth, revealing Qiao's pale face.

Mrs. Qiao only took two maids and four guards with her when she went out. When she fell into the water, she only had one maid and two guards with her, which also led to the delay in calling for help.

"Kangren, don't cry. Chang Youzhong, please accompany the princess back to the mansion." King Jin patted Princess Kangren on the shoulder.

He couldn't go back together, he had to go find Jiang Changning.

However, he hurried to Qingshui Bridge and found that it was not easy to find Jiang Changning because there were too many people.

Although there had just been a drowning incident, many women still came to Qingshui Bridge to cure their illnesses.

The figures are shaking and the lights are blurry. Where can I find someone?

King Jin was having a headache because he couldn't find Jiang Changning, when he heard Jiang Changning's voice, "Your Majesty."

"Princess, where have you been?" When King Jin came all the way, he was really afraid that the person who fell into the water was Jiang Changning.

He really wanted to live a long life with Jiang Changning.

"Someone fell into the water here just now and was very panicked. We were worried that there would be a crowd, so we walked back and went to the teahouse to drink a cup of tea. We will come back when the situation here calms down." Jiang Changning looked at Prince Jin in surprise, "Your Majesty

,What happened?"

"Sister-in-law drowned." King Jin said.

"How is that possible!" Jiang Changning and Mrs. Zhongqinbo exclaimed in unison.

"Princess, we have to go back to the palace to deal with this matter." King Jin said calmly.

"Okay, okay." Jiang Changning left with Prince Jin with a pale face.

"Prince Jin's Mansion also has a funeral." Crown Prince De's concubine sighed.

"Who would have thought that such a tragedy would happen during the Lantern Festival." Princess Jingduan said.

After a moment of silence, Mrs. Zhao asked timidly: "Are we still suffering from all kinds of diseases?"

"Why don't you walk? When you come to Qingshui Bridge, of course you have to walk all the way." Princess Jingduan raised her legs and walked towards the bridge, followed by Crown Princess De and Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhongqinbo didn't know what she was thinking, she just stood there blankly.

"Mrs. Jiao, let's go." Mrs. Zhao turned back in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Mrs. Zhongqinbo twitched her lips, "I thought that when I came here, I met Concubine Mourning. In this blink of an eye, everyone was gone."

"Life is impermanent." The Crown Princess De Fei sighed.

"There are no young or old on the road to Huangquan. Okay, don't talk about this anymore. Let's go all the way." Princess Jingduan said unhappily.

It is already very unlucky to meet someone drowning during a big festival, but they keep talking about it.

After Princess Jingduan strongly stopped her, no one mentioned Qiao's death again, and she walked towards the bridge in silence.

On the other side, Jiang Changning, who followed King Jin back to his residence, looked at King Jin all the way, but hesitated to speak.

Prince Jin held Jiang Changning's hand and found that it was cold, "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

Jiang Changning looked at him, opened his mouth, said nothing, and lowered his head.

"Ning Ning, just say what you want to say." King Jin said softly.

Jiang Changning raised his head and forced a smile, "I don't have anything to say. I just thought it was wrong."

King Jin pondered for a moment, "Ning Ning thinks I arranged for someone to do this?"

"You won't. Although my sister-in-law acted inappropriately, she is my eldest brother's widow after all. For the sake of my eldest brother, you will only teach her a lesson and not kill her."

"Has this turned a corner?" King Jin asked with a smile on his lips.

"I met my sister-in-law before I went out. She was a living person, and suddenly she disappeared like this. I would be frightened and panicked. This is normal. You, you are not allowed to laugh at me." Jiang Changning said the last sentence in a coquettish tone.

out.

"I'm not laughing at you." King Jin stretched out his hand to take the person into his arms.

Jiang Changning leaned in his arms and closed his eyes, hiding the joy in his eyes.
