Chapter 36 Accident
As soon as Rong Peilan went upstairs, she saw Wei Chi at the stairs.

"Young lady!"

As she got closer, she keenly smelled a hint of blood and kerosene in the strong smell of alcohol on Wei Chi.

Guan Shanyue's door was not closed tightly, and the sound of piano and singing could be heard from the room.

Ji Yunzhang sat cross-legged on a stool, his long hair loose, and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

He was still mumbling, "Too, too ugly!"

Rong Peilan pushed the door open and the noise in the room stopped abruptly.

"All go out."

In the room, Hua Niang glanced at the drunken guest, then looked at the cold-faced young lady. The maid following behind her seemed to know some fighting skills.

Even the attendant who had just supported the guest stood respectfully behind her.

After careful consideration, Hua Niang decided it would be better to stay away from here.

There was no sound. When Ji Yunzhang looked up, he vaguely saw a familiar figure at the door.

A relieved smile finally appeared on his pale face, "Madam..."

Then with a bang, he fell on the table.

A trace of panic flashed across Rong Peilan's calm eyes, and she hurried forward.

Ji Yunzhang had completely fainted. He was seriously injured, and the clothes under his cloak were soaked with blood. One could smell the strong smell of blood as soon as one got close to him.

There was a tremor in her voice. "We must hurry back home."

Wei Chi supported the prince, his jaw tensed, and said in a deep voice, "Madam, the prince is in danger this time, and he will definitely encounter inexplicable interrogations on the road."

Rong Peilan pursed her lips and looked around. The windows of the house faced the street, so she could see outside clearly.

From the half-open window, I could see that there were many more soldiers on the street whom I had not seen when I came.

Not far away there was a house with flames shooting up into the sky.

She looked at the furnishings in the room and wrapped the shawl left by Hua Niang on the chair around Ji Yunzhang, half covering his head. With his long hair and the shawl covering his head, it was difficult to see his ugly pale complexion unless you lifted his head.

He then grabbed the wine flask on the table and sprayed it on his cloak, making the smell of wine stronger.

After doing all this, she grabbed the tablecloth with both hands and pulled it hard, and all the food and plates on the table broke into pieces.

The crackling sound from Guan Shanyue made the old brothel owner downstairs tremble with fear. She turned back to look at the carriage still parked at the door and resisted the urge to go upstairs.

She could only mutter to herself, "It's nothing, it's nothing." It's hard to believe that such a big mansion would be short of her compensation.

When Madam Ji Shao appeared at the stairs, there was a moment of silence in the building, and she looked very angry.

Behind him, an attendant and a maid were holding Prince Ji on both sides.

I don’t know whether Ji Shizi was drunk or knocked unconscious. His feet were dragging on the ground and all I could hear was the “dong dong” sound of him dragging himself down the stairs.

Hearing this, one can't help but shrink his neck. The feet would probably be swollen or blue.

Rong Peilan walked over to the madam, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve pocket, and said calmly, "I accidentally knocked over something, this is compensation."

The madam's mouth twitched, then she forced a smile, "Young Madam, you are too polite. These household items are not worth much..."

She glanced at the madam and pretended to take the money back.

Seeing this, the madam quickly grabbed the silver ingot and said, "The prince must be very drunk, Madam, please take the prince back home quickly."

Seeing several people getting on the carriage, the madam weighed the silver in her hand and muttered, "Mrs. Ji is actually quite hot-tempered."

Wei Chi quickly opened the box under the carriage seat, which contained all kinds of medicine and gauze. When he lifted Ji Yunzhang's cloak, Rong Peilan found that there was a dagger stuck in his chest!
Wei Chi tore open the prince's clothes on his chest, took out a white porcelain bottle from the box, and poured some medicine powder on his wound.

Ji Yunzhang's face was frighteningly pale, all the blood had gone from his lips, and beads of sweat covered his forehead.

Through the slits in the carriage windows, one could see that there were more officers and soldiers on the street, including the submarine fire troops and the city defense personnel.

Wei Chi's voice was low, "Madam, there are some things I cannot tell you, but most of the soldiers and officers on the road are coming for the prince. The prince should be alert and escape quickly. The prince is now..."

Before he could finish his words, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Wei Chi quickly put the cloak back on the prince's body, avoiding the wound and laying him on his side on the stool.

"search!"

A rough voice came from outside the car.

The carriage driver replied, "Sir, the young master and his wife are in the carriage."

The voice came again, "I don't care what persimmons you are, we are just following orders to check the vehicles coming and going. There are spies from the Western Jin Dynasty roaming around in the city, who knows if they are imposters!"

The coachman was also a little angry. Who wouldn't recognize the carriage from the Xinling Marquis Mansion? These soldiers were obviously doing it on purpose.

If the master was hit in his carriage, he would be punished by the steward when he returned home.

"Which army are you from? How dare you stop the carriage of the Xinling Marquis's Mansion without even asking what our master does?"

The soldiers naturally knew that Xinling Hou controlled the northwest and southwest armies and had an unshakable position in the army.

He was also ordered to conduct the investigation. If it weren't for the order, he wouldn't have dared to stop him.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate and the people in the car were holding their breath, another person seemed to come outside the car.

"what happened?"

This voice made Rong Peilan feel vaguely familiar.

The soldier heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the newcomer. He raised his sword and saluted, saying, "Mr. Mu, this car belongs to the Xinling Marquis's Mansion. I cannot inspect it."

Mu Chun looked at the closed door of the carriage.

He took two steps forward and just as he stretched out his hand, he heard a cry from inside, "Young Madam!"

Mu Chun's eyes darkened and he reached out to open the car door.

A strong smell of alcohol mixed with blood wafted out of the car.

I saw the young woman sitting by the car window with a pale face. She was holding the window frame tightly with one hand and pressing her lower abdomen with the other hand.

There was blood under her skirt, on the seat, and at her feet.

At this time, the prince lying in the innermost position shouted drunkenly, "Bring me some wine! Where's the beauty?"

Rong Peilan's forehead was already sweating from the pain. "My menstruation is over a month late. Call a doctor quickly."

Chen Chun immediately climbed out of the carriage and pushed the driver, "Why are you still standing there? Go back home quickly!"

Then she looked at the two people under the car and said, "Get out of the way quickly. If something happens to the young lady, can you afford it?!"

The coachman's face changed. He had clearly come out to pick up the prince. If the young lady's child died in his carriage, how could he have the life to compensate? This was the first grandson in the mansion!
The soldier had not expected such a sudden change.

Mu Chun looked at the person in the car who closed his eyes in pain, his forehead and cheeks were covered with sweat, his jaw was clenched tightly, and the silver mask blocked his expression.

He just took a step back and gestured to let him go.

The driver, trembling, whipped the horse with the whip. The horse felt the pain and ran forward with all its hooves.
