Chapter 301: Fire that Kills Two Birds with One Stone
Xiao Yingchun followed Fu Chenan along the long street and saw all kinds of handmade lanterns of all sizes. It was impossible for her to not be moved.

In this era, industry was still very backward and there was no electricity, so lights had to be wired and lit one by one.

To prepare such a river of lights, not to mention the material resources, it is hard to say how much manpower it will take.

In order to save money, Fu Zhonghai took 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 asked people to make 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.

"Well, one for each of us?" Fu Chenan smiled naively, and Xiao Yingchun couldn't help laughing.

The lantern vendor's legs were visibly shaking, and he didn't even dare to reach out to take the shiny silver ingot that the prince's attendant handed over.

The guard thrust it in and said, "Take it if it's given to you! How can our Crown Prince take advantage of your two lanterns?"

The guard's voice was a little loud, and the lantern vendor's legs went limp and he knelt down: "Fuck... Fuck... I dare not..."

Fu Chenan said in a gentle voice: "Take it. Today is a holiday and everyone is happy."

Xiao Yingchun also laughed: "Yes, everyone is happy, you should be happy too."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness the Crown Prince..."

When the merchant struggled to get up, he found that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the beautiful girl had already walked away.

He looked down at the small silver ingot in his hand as if in a dream.

It’s real. Silver cannot be fake.

Thinking of the prince and the girl's voices, the merchant was in a trance.

Is that the future Crown Princess?
She laughs so sweetly...

Fu Chenan and Xiao Yingchun were carrying rabbit lanterns and had just walked a short distance when they heard a commotion ahead.

Two men were fighting over a gauze lantern. One of them pulled it back with all his strength and hit the head of a woman behind him.

The candle in the lantern tilted instantly and actually lit the lantern 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 she was about to be set on fire, she screamed in fear!
"what!"

As she screamed, the people around her began to run back and dodge.

When the two men who were fighting for the lantern saw that the lantern actually fell on the head of the person behind them, they were so scared that they turned around and ran away, without any intention of taking responsibility!

A guard shouted, "Where is the Hidden Fire Army?"

The well-prepared submarine soldiers rushed forward and poured a basin of water over their heads.

With a soft "puff" sound, the woman was drenched to the bone.

The flames died down and her screams stopped abruptly.

After some of his black hair was burnt off, it hung wetly on his head, looking extremely disheveled.

Even though the weather was cold and her clothes were thick, her dishevelled appearance brought her embarrassment to its peak at this moment!

“Wow, my hair…” the woman cried helplessly.

The crisis was resolved, and someone shouted, "It's all right, it's all right! The Fire Squad is here!"

"The people have been rescued..."

The people were saved?!

The panic of the people was relieved instantly, and the fleeing people slowed down their pace and turned back to look.

But there were also some people running around in panic.

A young lady from an aristocratic family aimed at Fu Chenan and ran towards him, looking panicked: "Your Highness, help me..."

Fu Chenan had made arrangements in advance, and the guards stopped the young lady from the noble family in an instant.

Fu Chenan's first reaction after the woman was in danger was to hold Xiao Yingchun in his arms while looking around vigilantly.

Could it be that these people were coming for him and Yingying? !

Xiao Yingchun was well behaved at first, but when he heard someone shouting "the person has been rescued", he refused to do it.

Especially when a woman pretended to shout "Your Highness, help me", she persistently and firmly poked her head out of Fu Chenan's arms.

Don't stop me, I want to read gossip!
Fu Chenan let go reluctantly.

As soon as Xiao Yingchun stuck her head out, she saw a guard snatch a basin full of water from the diving team and pour it on the woman who was rushing over! "Puff..."

woman:……

The carefully dressed up makeup and hairstyle were washed away in an instant, leaving only a shabby woman who looked like a water ghost.

"Ah..." The woman quickly covered her face with her hands.

The guard who snatched the basin from the diving team said in a serious tone: "Since the young lady is afraid of danger, I will take precautions for her as well."

"Now the young lady won't be affected by the lights, and there won't be men all over the street running only for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

It was almost as if he was directly saying that she coveted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The way everyone looked at the woman suddenly changed.

Yes, the streets were full of men, and she brought her own servants with her, so why did she run straight to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was ten meters away? !
Isn't this just coveting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

“Wow, wow, wow…” The woman covered her face and cried in frustration after her secrets were exposed.

She didn't dare to refute, let alone let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see her embarrassed look.

A maid took a spare cloak and hurried forward: "Miss..."

With the cloak covering her head, the maid supported her and walked towards her own carriage.

The woman whose hair was burned was also covered with a cloak and prepared to be sent to her own carriage.

"Wait!" A woman's slightly hoarse voice sounded, and everyone looked at the woman.

The woman who was speaking was not particularly pretty, but her round face, curved eyebrows, and tall, straight figure made people inexplicably think of the four words "peace and prosperity for the country and the people".

"It's Miss Miao!"

"Miss Miao is here!"

His tone was full of respect.

Xiao Yingchun looked up in surprise 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 want to leave like this?"

Miss Miao spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, yet she exuded a sense of authority without being angry.

"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Jiuyue was the woman who had just rushed towards Fu Chenan. Her tone was quick and sharp, but with an inexplicable sense of guilt.

"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, just ask those two people who just stole the lantern and you'll know!"

"That person has run away, how can you ask?!" Pei Jiuyue immediately responded.

"Who said they ran away?"

"How can I ask them to run away after they hurt my second cousin?!"

Someone shouted from the back of the crowd: "Make way..."

The crowd made way for a path, and several servants came in, escorting two men.

It turned out to be the two men who had just snatched the lantern.

They were caught again?!
Both of them hunched their necks and lowered their heads, their clothes were disheveled, and they looked guilty.

Guo Taimin An looked at Fu Chenan, bowed first, and then spoke slowly: "Your Highness, I am Miao Wangyue, the daughter of Miao Wenyuan, the dean of Hongwen Academy."

"The one who was just injured was my second cousin Hu Yanjiao."

"Pei Jiyue was jealous of my cousin's good hair, so she deliberately had someone color her hair. She also wanted to win the prince's favor..."

"This fire kills two birds with one stone. The means are not sophisticated, but the heart is cruel."

"Now that my sister is injured, the person who caused this wants to get away with it. I won't agree to that."

"Your Highness, please make the decision."

"You're talking nonsense! When did I order the two of them?!" Pei Jiuyue's face changed and he shouted angrily.

"Did you instigate this? I think once these two people enter the City Defense Department, they will naturally explain the whole story clearly."

The three words "City Defense Department" immediately changed the expressions of the two men who were captured.

Once you enter the City Defense Department, who can escape the eighteen kinds of torture?
One of them immediately blurted out: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you..."
