Chapter 148 The Foolish King Liang
The stage was engulfed in flames.
The wooden bridge was crowded with people.
Because of the human instinct for survival, people cannot care about others when facing life and death.
The little girl leaned on the railing curiously.
They were picked up by their second brother. If they continued to watch, they would probably be burned to death.
The downstairs was full of heads, a sea of black.
Everyone crowded onto the bridge, fearing that their tails would be burned.
Most wooden bridges in ancient times were built with mortise and tenon structures.
Each piece of wood has a clear position, and even the slightest deviation will lead to tragedy.
The horizontal and vertical wood are intertwined, restraining and supporting each other.
The longitudinal wood connecting the logs is called the bullhead and is the key to the stability of the entire bridge.
If the calculation is wrong, once the pressure exceeds its tolerance range.
The bridge will collapse.
“Clatter…”
"The bridge collapsed!"
"Help!"
"Hurry and save the prince..."
There was a burst of noise coming from downstairs.
It's a complete mess.
Before Jiang Miaomiao even reached the bridge bed, her second brother carried her downstairs without any explanation.
Jiang Ziyan held his sister in his arms, while Xiuxiu held Princess Rong'an.
The little girl watched her father fall into the water and actually laughed.
The four of them rowed the boat out of the back door. After walking a distance, they looked back and saw flames rising from the theater.
The bridge collapsed, and those who did not fall with the bridge also jumped into the lake.
Prepare to swim over.
The backyard of Cui Mansion.
The men in black were caught as soon as they entered the yard.
The maid Ling'er stood there in a daze.
Jiang Zifeng pointed his sword at the men in black and said, "Tell me, who ordered you to assassinate King Liang so many times?"
Man in Black: ...
Assassinate King Liang? Or repeatedly?
Damn it, they were tricked!
Cui Xingzhou pulled off the veil and said to Cui Shao behind him, "Dad, it was them, they were the ones who burned down the government office..."
"Master Cui, the criminal who previously assassinated Prince Liang and the Princess might be in cahoots with them."
The man in black had a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest, and he was like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.
This is too heavy a responsibility to bear.
Assassinating the prince is a capital crime!
This Lantern Festival was unforgettable for the people of Jiangzhou and officials of all ranks.
Bandits rioted and burned down the government office.
There was no curfew in the city originally, but that night there was a curfew at two o'clock in the morning, and the annual Lantern Festival had not even finished.
It feels like the year has been incomplete.
Cui family, a wonderful banquet was ruined by a fire.
The bridge collapsed and the theater burned down.
Fortunately, the Cui family's servants rescued her in time, and there were no casualties. At most, she caught a cold and had to stay in bed for a few days.
Only one person was unlucky.
Because his body was too heavy, he touched the bottom when he fell into the water. In his panic, he was kicked in the head several times.
It took a lot of effort for everyone to rescue King Liang.
He had a high fever and was in a coma for several days.
I don’t know if it was burned or kicked, but then he became stupid and his IQ regressed by several years.
The officials in Jiangzhou were in a state of trepidation every day.
They all suspected that they had kicked King Liang silly, and they all stayed in bed, praying that King Liang would not wake up.
If they don't wake up, there is no evidence and no one can convict them.
Prefect Qin's head was swollen.
Originally, he thought that the third prince, Prince Su, had little chance of winning, and wanted to find a backer like Prince Liang for himself. After all, it is nice to take shelter under a big tree.
Unexpectedly, he lost both the wife and the army.
It is not easy to raise a death warrior, and it costs money. He must have good physical fitness, fighting power and intelligence.
The most important thing is to be loyal.
But in less than two months, almost the entire army was wiped out.
The group sent out earlier disappeared out of thin air, and this group inexplicably became bandits.
He was also reported for dereliction of duty and failure to protect King Liang.
Demotion and salary reduction.
At this moment, she was hugging King Liang and crying bitterly, wanting him to pay compensation and compensate the people.
Woo woo woo…
Master Cui and the old lady were old, so they left the table early.
Prince Liang accompanied them back to the house to rest and put on the earplugs prepared by Xiao Miaomiao.
Calming incense was lit in the room.
The two elders slept soundly.
But when I woke up the next day, the sky had fallen...
Old Mrs. Cui looked at the mess and felt like crying, "What a pity for my theater!"
It was a rare occasion for her to have some fun.
It was built not long ago, how come it's gone?
"Old lady, let the princess build you another one, a bigger one." Lu Qingyao patted her hands and comforted her.
Trading a building for a peaceful life is a worthwhile deal.
"That's right, aunt. Let's rebuild it with the money my prince gave us. I think the mansion needs some renovations too."
Princess Liang put her arm around the old lady, and a smile could not be concealed in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
She was so happy that she almost flew.
The old lady couldn't help laughing. "When did you become so cunning? But it's good this way. This way, you won't be bullied... It should have been like this a long time ago..."
"Aunt, I was like this before I got married. Have you forgotten?" Princess Liang said as she leaned against the old lady, revealing the delicate demeanor of a little girl.
The old lady patted her hands and said, "Good, it's better to stay like this!"
After the old lady left, Ling'er was brought up.
"Sister Lu, what do you think I should do with this girl?" Although Princess Liang has a gentle temperament, she is also a good manager.
Perhaps this is also one of the essential skills for the legitimate daughter of a large family.
"Why not leave him here? Since we've shown him some mercy, the two can keep each other in check. Even though the prince is in this state now, there's no guarantee he'll wake up someday. It would be safer to leave someone by his side to keep an eye on him."
Lu Qingyao looked at the little maid who was kneeling in the yard and shivering.
It seems that he has been blinded by wealth.
A maid who betrays her master will be despised wherever she goes. Sell her off. She knows so much about King Liang.
Moreover, he is a child born at home, and one move can affect the whole body, and he is still in the kitchen.
The little maidservant dealt with it and everything was settled.
It's hard to guard against the resentment from relatives who may poison you or something like that.
Princess Liang nodded, "Then let's do as you say and call her in."
Ling'er walked in and knelt on the ground, "Princess, please spare me. I know I was wrong. This matter has nothing to do with my mother's brother. I am responsible for my own actions... I am willing to work like a slave to atone for my sins."
Princess Liang glanced at the person on the ground.
She didn't hate the little maid for having an affair with King Liang, but she hated people who betrayed their masters.
People should always pay the price for their wrongdoings.
"Well, I'll give you two choices. One is to stay with the ancient Buddha forever, and the other is to stay by the prince's side and be a first-class maid."
"Thank you, Princess. I am willing to stay with Your Highness!" Ling'er kowtowed repeatedly, and her forehead was bleeding.
The eldest girl is indeed kind-hearted. If she wins the prince's favor and becomes pregnant with a child, she will surely become a concubine.
Princess Liang sighed deeply.
"Go ahead. The prince has become mad. You must stay with him and take care of him. You are not allowed to leave even for a moment."
Ling'er paused.
What? Stupid!
She'll have to take care of a fool for the rest of her life! And a fat pig at that!
She would rather be a nun in a temple!
"princess……"
Before he could even cry, he was gagged and dragged out.
I happened to meet Xiuxiu coming in hurriedly to report.
"Princess, sister, has this girl confessed who asked her to deliver the message to save Prince Liang?"
"Madame Yu interrogated him and found out it was the owner, Lou, of Tianxiang Tower." To be honest, Lu Qingyao was still a little surprised.
The group of people who had previously ambushed them finally confessed that it was also Tianxianglou, but looking at Qi Caiwei's appearance, it was definitely related to her.
"Sister, I also heard something from Brother Feng, but I told you not to beat him up..."
Xiuxiu discovered that several children were secretly plotting something, and when she eavesdropped, she found out that it was a big secret!
"You tell me, I promise I won't beat him."
