The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

Prince Yan walked in front, followed by the bridal sedan and the royal guards who were protecting it.

They took the lead and walked south along Huayang Street.

The guard of honor from the palace stopped at the gate of the general's mansion, waiting to turn around.

At this time, a group of strong servants came out of the general's mansion one after another. They were carrying heavy boxes with big red wedding characters pasted on them.

Yan Siyi raised his hand, signaling the guard of honor not to move and let the dowry team go first.

More and more dowries were carried out, and the whole scene became extremely lively.

These dowries include not only valuable items such as gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, but also various exquisite furniture, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, etc.

Some of the onlookers stood on tiptoe to look curiously, wanting to find out what was going on; others whispered to each other, talking and guessing the value of the dowry.

"Have you forgotten? Qin Rubing's mother, Lin Shuya, is the daughter of Lin Daqian, the richest man in Los Angeles."

"No wonder, she probably prepared a generous dowry for Miss Qin a long time ago."

"And there's the betrothal gift from King Yan!"

What the common people don't know is that for whatever reason, Concubine Qi and the eldest princess also added makeup to Qin Rubing.

So the dowry was naturally countless.

As time went on, the crowd became more and more agitated, and finally they were dumbfounded:

Why is there so much dowry being carried out from the General’s Mansion?

When will this load of luggage end?

At this time, Changyang Street was completely jammed with traffic.

A road was divided into two halves. On the west half of the road was the dowry team from the General's Mansion heading south, and on the east half was the wedding procession from the Prince of Yan's Mansion heading north.

The imperial capital is boiling!

Everyone in the city was talking about the grand wedding of Prince Yan.

"It's really eye-opening this time!"

"What is the most wealthy? What is the richest man? Just look at the dowry of Lin Daqian's granddaughter and you will know."

"Oh my, King Yan made a fortune!"

"I want to find a rich man in Los Angeles for my daughter!"

The Prince of Yan, who was walking in front, had already arrived at the intersection of Huayang Street and Xizhao Street on his horse.

The intersection was crowded with people, and it was so crowded that no one could get through.

Chu Tiancheng secretly became alert, scanning every street corner at the intersection like an eagle.

There was a strange atmosphere in the air, as if a looming sense of danger was approaching.

His heart couldn't help but tighten, but he remained calm on the surface.

At this moment, Changqiu Palace.

The Emperor of the East and the Empress rode in the same sedan chair, with Concubine Qi's sedan chair following closely behind.

The two sedan chairs left the Changqiu Palace, turned left, and went along Yong'an Road, heading straight for the main gate of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

The Emperor of the East attached great importance to the wedding of Prince Yan and insisted on leaving the palace to watch the ceremony at Prince Yan's mansion.

It was normal for the queen to accompany the emperor to her son's wedding.

Why did Concubine Qi also join in the fun?

That was because one night, when Concubine Qi was delivering lotus seed soup to the Emperor of the East, she said to him coquettishly:

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince will be getting married in three months. I would like to go to the Prince of Yan's wedding to learn and observe. Is that okay?"

The Emperor Dong readily agreed immediately.

Prince's Mansion.

Chu Tianxing was still sitting in the study without moving.

Li Yong came in to report, "The Emperor, the Empress, and Concubine Qi have all left Changqiu Palace."

"understood."

Chu Tianxing still didn't get up. He sat there stiffly with his hands clenched together nervously.

"hold on."

Changyang Street.

Chu Tiancheng rode his horse and passed the intersection.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp gaze fixed on him from behind.

He slowed down unconsciously and looked back.

Yan Yi immediately ran over and in the blink of an eye, he was next to Chu Tiancheng.

"My Lord, what's wrong?"

Chu Tiancheng frowned slightly and lowered his voice:

"You don't have to follow me here. The most important thing at this moment is to ensure the safety of the bridal sedan. There must not be any mistakes. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Yan Yi walked back and headed towards the sedan chair.

At this time, the bearers carrying the bridal sedan had just reached the middle of the intersection.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Catch the thief!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a commotion at the southwest corner of the intersection, with several people pushing each other.

After a moment, one of them broke through the blockade of the Jingzhao Prefecture soldiers and rushed onto the road with a package in his hand.

"That's him! Don't let that thief get away!"

Someone in the crowd shouted to a Jingzhao soldier next to him.

The soldier hesitated for a moment, then left his post and went after the thief.

The thief shuttled between the wedding procession, and the palace soldiers chased after them.

As a result, a gap appeared in the cordon in the southwest corner.

Someone in the crowd over there shouted again: "Go see the bride!"

Immediately afterwards, someone took the lead and rushed out from the gap and rushed towards the sedan chair.

One rushed out, and the people behind him ran out soon after.

After a while, a group of people rushed to the sedan chair.

The palace guards beside the sedan chair immediately went on high alert and drew their swords.

But this group of common people had already rushed to the front and were too close to the palace guards. The guards could not use their swords to warn them, nor could they directly stab the common people with their swords.

The two sides were in a stalemate, neither was willing to give in, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if time had stopped.

The palace guards held their weapons tightly in their hands, staring at each other with hostility, as if ready to engage in a life-and-death fight at any time.

The air around was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, making people feel suffocated and depressed.

Despite the tense situation, no side was willing to break the deadlock first, because they all knew that once they took action, the consequences would be disastrous.

The wedding procession was forced to stop.

The palace guards surrounding the sedan chair had no choice but to shout at the people in front of them: "Back off, back off!"

The common people were so eager to watch the fun that they couldn't listen at all. They wanted to get closer to the sedan chair and kept pushing forward.

The palace guards had nowhere to retreat, as the bridal sedan was behind them.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the hustle and bustle here.

No one noticed that the thief ran back.

He had long since shaken off the palace soldiers that were chasing him.

He slipped to the west side of the sedan chair and quickly opened the package in his hand. It turned out to be a wooden sphere, which was wet and smelled of lard.

He held the wooden ball in his left hand and opened the tinderbox with his right hand.

After instantly lighting the wooden ball, he quickly rushed to the sedan chair, opened the curtain, and threw the fireball in.

"Ah!" A sharp scream came from the sedan chair.
