Chapter 7: Kaifeng Prefecture Explodes the Pot

Min Weixiu endured the pain in her waist and climbed up the wall. Suddenly, she heard An Xi's anxious voice, "Oh no, Miss, the Crown Prince has a close guard named Lu Jia who never leaves his side! Could he have seen us?"

Startled by this, Min Weixiu almost fell down.

An Xi, this person, really... If it weren't for her loyalty and dedication since childhood, she would have replaced her immediately!

"Of course not. Who am I? I have ears and eyes everywhere. How could I not know if there's anyone around? Maybe the scene is too unsightly, and Lu Jia doesn't want to see it!"

When Min Weixiu first went to Yanmen Pass, General Cheng's family wanted to kill her. She volunteered to scout ahead and risked her life to establish herself. She never expected that the observation skills she honed in her past life would be used to deceive people in this life!

Meanwhile, Min Weixiu ran like a rabbit, and Lu Jia wished she had two more legs and a pair of wings.

The Crown Prince and Liu Luan had met at Jingque Bridge before. The Crown Prince didn't want him to see Liu Luan's shy appearance, so he asked him to wait at a corner.

If anything happened to the Crown Prince, he could just turn around and see.

But who would have thought that today he would encounter the Third Prince.

"Lu Jia, since you're here, then the Eldest Brother is also here! Jingque Bridge has witnessed too many tragic love stories, and the resentment is too heavy. There are ghosts wandering at night. I hope my Eldest Brother won't go there."

This made Lu Jia shiver.

"The Crown Prince is not leaving the palace today, so I have a day off. I should be resting now."

The Crown Prince's birth mother, Lady Cai, had two sons and was quite influential. Although she was no longer favored, just by virtue of her son being the Crown Prince, she held herself higher than others.

Empress Liu had no power, and if the Emperor passed away and the Crown Prince ascended the throne, although she would be the Empress Dowager, Lady Cai would be the Mother Empress Dowager.

So, they appeared to be friendly on the surface but secretly wanted to harm each other.

Lady Cai naturally didn't want the Crown Prince to marry Liu Luan, which led to their secret meeting.

One of the Third Princes, Jiang Yanzhi, turned to his guard Lu Bing and said, "Hey, you've been following me for so long, and I haven't given you a day off. Today, I'll treat you to some wine."

As Jiang Yanzhi spoke, he put his hand on Lu Jia's shoulder and hooked Lu Bing's arm, leading them out.

Lu Jia was anxious. When the three of them reached the alley, they heard a loud crash, followed by someone shouting, "Oh no, the marriage tree has killed someone!"

Jiang Yanzhi let go and ran, "Quick, let's go see the commotion!"

Lu Jia was alarmed and immediately ran to the edge of Jingque Bridge. To his surprise, there were so many people gathered there!

They were crowded around, chattering incessantly.

"Oh my, this is truly the first extraordinary event since the founding of the Great Chen Dynasty. This tree fell and killed three people."

"Madam, could you please button up your clothes before watching the show?"

"Tsk tsk, it must be the wrath of the God of Marriage. A man brought two women to seek marriage, and the marriage tree was angered, wanting to kill them!"

"Madam, your husband is unfaithful, and your anger is burning."

"Granny, what are they doing mouth to mouth? Why is the big brother putting his hand inside the little sister's clothes? Is it like me, unable to sleep without touching my mother?"

A childish voice rang out, and everyone burst into laughter.

Lu Jia squeezed through the crowd. By now, Jiang Yanzhi had already entered. When he looked, he was so frightened that he felt his soul leaving his body. The large tree had been moved, revealing the embarrassing sight of the Crown Prince and Liu Luan, with Min Liuniang lying nearby. It was an unbearable scene.

Lu Jia saw the Crown Prince, who was trembling with anxiety. He had already woken up and was in a dilemma.

Should he get up? What if someone recognized him?

Should he not get up? He couldn't stay like this forever!

Lu Jia breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no one died, it was fine. As a secret guard, he was in plain clothes. He just needed to quickly carry the Crown Prince away.

Before Lu Jia could act, Jiang Yanzhi had already rushed in and turned the Crown Prince over from Liu Luan.

With a single swipe of the Crown Prince's hand, Liu Luan's clothes were torn open.

Jiang Yanzhi didn't even look at her, he just picked up the Crown Prince and ran, "Make way, make way."

Jian Jiangyan had already carried away the crown prince, and Lu Jia and Lu Bing had no choice but to each grab a young lady and run away quickly.

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly hesitated and asked, "Who is the elder brother of Prince Shou?"

No one dared to answer, but everyone's faces were full of joy, as if it were New Year's Day. They had witnessed an extraordinary sight - the crown prince meeting with two women at night and being hit by a tree... It was simply hilarious.

The crown prince, lying on Jian Jiangyan, was so angry that he was shaking. From childhood to adulthood, this brother had tricked him countless times.

Every time he questioned him, he always looked bewildered, making it feel like punching cotton, leaving him nowhere to vent his anger.

Could he be strangled?

But even more despondent than the crown prince were Liu Luan and Min Weifen, who had already regained consciousness.

...

On one side, the Kaifeng Prefecture was in an uproar, while on the other, Min Weixiu had already climbed into the small building and rushed straight to the bed, almost breaking her waist!

An Xi locked the door, took out a note from her chest, and upon opening it, blushed. "Young lady, should I burn this?"

After waiting for a long time without any response, she turned her head and saw that Min Weixiu had already taken off her outer clothes and was sound asleep on the bed.

An Xi decisively burned the note, then quickly and skillfully cleaned her shoes and clothes, making sure not to leave any suspicious traces. She then lit a calming incense to cover the smell of burning paper and slept on the night watchman's cot.

Something big happened at Jingque Bridge? The young lady has a sore waist, so we went to sleep as soon as it got dark.
