In the first month of the first lunar month, Prince Jing's mansion can be regarded as a peaceful one.

Xiao Jingyan sent off the Minister of the Household Department, and returned to the inner courtyard in a good mood. Yan Zhen, who was pregnant for three months, was already a little pregnant, although it was not obvious.

"What's the matter, so happy." Yan Zhen put down the book in his hand, watched Xiao Jingyan happily peeling the citrus for her, "I asked you to thank Mr. Su, have you been there?"

"Go." Xiao Jingyan tore off a petal and put it on her lips, "Mr. Su asked me to thank you for those medicinal materials. By the way, Tao Yao has already entered Jinling, and his shop will open after the new year." At that time, I'm afraid it will be even more lively."

"In the Langya list, Tao Yao, the richest merchant in the world, came to Jinling, and the crown prince and Yu Wang might be ready to move again." Yan Zhen rejected the orange petals that Xiao Jingyan handed over, she was about to vomit recently, "You haven't said What? Why are you so happy today?"

Xiao Jingyan put the things in his hands away, and a smile appeared on his face: "Shen Zhui came here just now, saying that he was looking for evidence of a private gun house, and after the opening of the court, he wrote a letter and told his father about it."

"Private artillery room? The prince's private artillery room. Shen Zhui is checking whether this private artillery room has been persecuted by the prince's people?"

"Who said no. The crown prince is too daring. He sent someone to assassinate a second-rank official. I have already sent Zhanying to protect him." Xiao Jingyan has always been upright, and when he mentioned this, he was almost out of breath.

"The crown prince is also a prince. There is nothing he dare not do." Yan Zhen got up, Xiao Jingyan hurried to help her, but she gave her a blank look, "I'm only pregnant with a child, and it's not disabled. You don't have to wait for twelve hours Stay with me, hold me. It's uncomfortable."

Xiao Jingyan didn't pay any attention to this, and still carried her away: "When you were pregnant with Ajiu last time, I was not by your side. You almost died when you gave birth to Ajiu. This time you are pregnant with a child, no matter what, I want to Here I am."

"How many times have I told you that when I was pregnant with Ajiu, it happened to be the year of the catastrophe that my master said. After that time, I will have no worries for the rest of my life. You don't have to be so nervous." Yan Zhen leaned obediently In his arms, "Judging from the matter of the private cannon house, the water depth in the center is so deep. The snow will not fall these days, and the sky is rare. Today is the Lantern Festival. I will bring Ajiu and the three children tonight. Let's go see the lights."

"That's good. Tingsheng used to live in the palace, and he was originally a criminal slave. He didn't have the opportunity to watch the lantern when he was fifteen." Xiao Jingyan thought for a while and agreed, "Today is the 15th Lantern Festival. There must be many people. You are pregnant with a child. ..."

"All right, all right, I'll stay in the mansion, just bring me a few lights and let me have a look." Yan Zhen didn't like lively people in the first place, she knew that she had a special body now, so she didn't force her.

Jokingly said, what lamp is more beautiful than the octagonal palace lantern she hangs in Prince Jing's mansion.

However, when she saw the rabbit lantern in Xiao Jingyan's hand at night, Yan Zhen really felt that the most exquisite octagonal palace lantern could not compare to this one in Xiao Jingyan's hand.

She asked him to hang this lamp on the porch and replace the octagonal lantern.

She was still in his arms, listening to him talk about the Lantern Festival.

"I met Mr. Su today." Xiao Jingyan thought of Mei Changsu's doting on Fei Liu, like a doting brother, but he didn't expect him to be like this on weekdays, and he changed his opinion of him, "Today , and went to Miaoyinfang with them to listen to the music."

"I heard that Gong Yu from Miaoyinfang is very good at rhythm, and Yujin often goes there. Today, you are also lucky." Yan Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth and shrank into his arms.

Xiao Jingyan pulled the quilt to cover her more tightly, and stroked her long black and silky hair: "I think it's not as good as yours."

"You're not proficient in rhythm." Yan Zhen was not at all happy about this sentence.

Xiao Jingyan laughed a few times, patted her on the back, and coaxed her to sleep: "Go to sleep, Ah Zhen."

Yan Zhen's days of raising a baby have always been very leisurely, except for the first day of the first month, she doesn't have to go to the palace to pay her respects, Concubine Jing has always loved her, so it's good to let her come to pay her respects after the first month is over.

However, the leisurely days can't last for a few days.

On the 21st day of the first lunar month, a loud noise shook half of the capital.

At that time, Yan Zhen, who was basking in the warm winter sun by the window and teaching Ah Jiu and the three children their homework, felt a slight tremor that was almost imperceptible. The four children were startled by the loud noise, and Xiao Youning hid even more. Into Yan Zhen's arms, her face turned pale.

Yan Zhen seemed to have thought of something, her eyes fixed, she comforted the children, patted Xiao Youning lightly, and immediately decided Zhuji to inquire about the news: "Zhuji, tell the prince to send someone to see if the private gun house exploded .Also, if it explodes, ask Tao Yao to provide the best burn medicine."

"Yes."

Yan Zhen patted Xiao Youning and comforted the three children: "Don't be afraid, our Prince Jing's Mansion is safe. Tingsheng."

"Yes, Master."

"My lord and I are going to go out for a while, you and Lu Yuan, Shu Hong help me take good care of Ajiu."

"Yes, Master."

"Mother~" Xiao Youning pulled the corner of Yan Zhen's clothes, pursed his mouth, and looked very much like Xiao Jingyan when he was young, "Be careful."

Yan Zhen touched her face: "Mother will be back soon. Ah Jiu will also take good care of my brothers for Nian Niang, okay?"

"it is good."

Yan Zhen called Liuli to take care of them, and went to the front hall with Huobi to find Xiao Jingyan.

Seeing her coming, Xiao Jingyan went up to meet her, frowning: "Why are you here?"

"I will go with you."

"Nonsense." Xiao Jingyan frowned, his face serious, and his tone became serious, "Now the private gun house exploded, and the scene is chaotic, and you are pregnant with a child..."

"It's been three months, nothing will happen, Jingyan." Compared to Xiao Jingyan's stern expression, Yan Zhen seemed much calmer, "I still need to arrange some medicines, and tortoiseshell will follow me every step of the way. You Don't worry so much."

Xiao Jingyan couldn't resist Yan Zhen when he was young, so he took her there anyway.He rode a horse and took Lie Zhanying and his family's personal soldiers one step ahead, while Yan Zhen drove slowly behind in a carriage.

When Yan Zhen arrived, even though she had already guessed a little bit in her heart, seeing such a miserable and messy scene was still a little shocking.

Tao Yao has already arrived here, apart from the people from Prince Jing's mansion, Tao Yao also sent many people over.

Seeing Yan Zhen, he came over to salute, "Caomin, Tao Yao has seen His Highness Princess Jing."

"Mr. Tao, you don't need to be too polite. You and I are here for these innocent people, please don't be restrained."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Yan Zhen took the tortoiseshell to treat those affected, and Xiao Jingyan appropriated the tents and quilts to give these homeless people a shelter.

Yan Zhen comforted a child similar to Xiao Youning, she looked up and saw Lie Zhanying brought Mei Changsu and Nihuang here.

Yan Zhen called Xiao Jingyan who was not far away, and Xiao Jingyan thought she had something to do, so he hurried over: "Why, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's Mr. Su, Commander Meng and Nihuang are here."

Only then did Xiao Jingyan notice Mei Changsu and his party, and he was a little surprised, and went with Yan Zhen.

After Prince Jing and his wife greeted Nihuang, Xiao Jingyan said, "Mr. Su, no major event in Beijing can escape Mr.'s eyes."

Mei Changsu wandered around, and although there were still wailing sounds in his ears, there were no people living on the street.

Tents were set up next to each other along both sides of the road, and officers and soldiers were holding pots of steaming food and distributing them from tent to tent.

The smell of herbs wafted from the other side of the street, and stretchers covered with white cloths were being carried out at the same time.

"It's nothing if it's a battlefield, but this is the prosperous imperial capital of Daliang Kingdom, so the scene is a bit tragic." Mei Changsu sighed, "Your Highness has really worked hard."

"They are all hard-working ordinary people. No one knows that the next door to their house is a gunpowder depot." Xiao Jingyan also sighed, and motioned Lie Zhanying to step down, "Maybe it's just fate, it can last one more day Enough……"

Mei Changsu raised his eyebrows, "What does Your Highness mean by that?"

"Shen Zhui was very happy to tell me yesterday that he finally found out the fact that the crown prince and Lou Zhijing of the Ministry of Households set up a private cannon workshop to make huge profits, but he has no right to seal it up immediately, so he has already reported it to the sage and requested His Majesty graciously approved Jingzhao Yin's House to assist in the confiscation of this private cannon workshop, confiscate the stolen money, and apprehend the suspects. He said confidently at the time that Zhu would approve it within a day or two. Unexpectedly... the booklet was handed in only a day ago, Such a tragic accident happened, and hundreds of lives were wiped out in the blink of an eye...and for most of them, it was a disaster for no reason."

Mei Changsu took a deep look at him, and he asked Yan Zhen who was standing next to Xiao Jingyan, "Princess also thinks this is an accident?"

Xiao Jingyan paused when he heard the words, his eyes froze for an instant, and he slowly turned his head to look directly at Mei Changsu's face, his tone was cold and cold: "What is Mr. Su implying?"

Seeing Xiao Jingyan's expression was wrong, Yan Zhen stretched out his hand to pat his hand, and sighed: "It's not a secret that Shen Zhui tracked down the private gun house. The crown prince knows it, the prince knows it, and naturally King Yu knows it too. But King Yu knows it too. Although the incident of the private cannon house is guilty, it cannot shake the foundation of the Eastern Palace. But this is indeed a trick of the crown prince, Yu Wang didn't want to let it go, so he decided to make a big deal out of it, and bring it up , With the help of public grievances, His Majesty has to deal with the prince."

"That's right. As the successor, Shen Zhui has the power to impeach his predecessor. No matter how many people testify, it's nothing more than a corruption case. The prince is a prince after all. No matter how much His Majesty reprimands him, he will be punished." It doesn't hurt or itch. But now that the cannon fires, the incident is known to everyone. After all, it is hundreds of lives. The people's sentiments and grievances will soon become a turmoil. The punishment the crown prince will receive, I'm afraid It will be much heavier than before."

"King Yu has spent ten years fighting with the prince, and he can't wait any longer." Yan Zhen tilted his head and held Xiao Jingyan's veined hand, "In this case, Mr. Su can't stop Yu anyway. Wang’s, so you don’t have to blame yourself, Mister.”

"Just to increase the weight of beating the prince, Yu Wang regards human life as nothing?" Xiao Jingyan's face was tense, and the anger under his skin gradually filled, and his lips were drawn into lines like iron.

"Why are you angry with him? Don't you know what kind of person he is? All right, let's chat here for a while and think about how to deal with these suffering people. Come with me, Nihuang, I'm just about to ask you for help .”

Yan Zhen pulls Nihuang away, she knows that Mei Changsu has something to say to Xiao Jingyan.

Nihuang supported Yan Zhen and looked at her lower abdomen: "Why do you come here even when you are pregnant? Prince Jing is willing to let you come."

"He can beat me there." Yan Zhen looked at Xiao Jingyan who was talking with Mei Changsu, a look of worry slipped across his brows, "I'm afraid that he will blame me if he finds out the truth in the future."

Nihuang was startled when she heard the words, then she was surprised, she looked at Yan Zhen, and whispered: "You, you know?"

"That's right. Even if it's changed, he's still the elder brother who grew up together." Yan Zhen didn't say much about the past, she patted Nihuang's hand and said nothing more.
