She rubbed her eyebrows and was about to recite Taoist mantras to calm her mind.
Suddenly I heard someone in front of me burst into sharp cries: "Ahhhhh-help!"
Then someone screamed: "No, someone was pushed off the bridge and fell into the water. The water ghost must be looking for a substitute. Run!"
This shout caused a panic on the entire bridge. There were already many people on the bridge, and the chaos caused by people stepping on others kept pushing people into the water.
Pedestrians were throwing copper coins and burning paper to stab people on both sides of the bridge. Carriages and horses were walking in the middle of the bridge. Suddenly there was chaos. Everyone panicked and retreated to the middle of the road.
Seeing that something was not going well, Uncle Chang immediately shouted to the guards of the Xu Mansion - "Protect the young lady and cross this bridge immediately!"
But it was already too late, and there were people everywhere. Pedestrians were making a mess, crying, crowding, and asking for help for their relatives and friends who had fallen off the bridge.
The horse was frightened and the car started to shake. Xu Xiuyi felt something was wrong and was about to open the curtain to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened the curtain, she was faced with a pale and terrifying piece of paper pricking a person's face, and beside it was an old lady with a wrinkled face who smiled strangely and sinisterly at her——
"Girl, do you want to buy some paper to stab someone?"
Xu Xiuyi had never seen such a face before. Her heart suddenly shrank and she instinctively stepped back in fear.
At this time, the pulling horse seemed to be frightened by the old lady, and suddenly raised its front hooves and jumped wildly.
At this time, the carriage was forced to the edge of the bridge in the chaos. The horse jumped up and down, and the entire carriage carriage turned sideways. The frame hit the edge of the bridge, and the carriage fell directly into the Jinshui River.
The entire carriage crashed into the river with a "bang!"
"Your Highness, you can go down and rescue people." The attendant stood not far from the river, watching the carriage fall into the water, and then looked at the prince in the carriage.
The Xu family probably thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would set a trap in the other courtyard, so they brought a group of guards with high martial arts skills.
But how can the Xu family be better than the prince?
"If you do it in Gu's other courtyard, you will fall into the inferior position and make it easy for others to take advantage of it. Of course, it is appropriate to do it on the road. Her old-fashioned character of Xu Xiuyi and the family tradition of the Xu family will not be the best if I pull her from the river in public.
If she takes her out and expresses her anger through words, if she doesn't marry the orphan, then she will have no choice but to die."
His Highness said with a smile that day.
Sure enough, today, everything went as smoothly as His Royal Highness planned.
The Xu family is like little insects, how can they fly out of the spider web that His Highness has made for them?
Even if the Minister of Dali Temple has the ability to investigate the case, he may encounter a "ghost" and fall into the water during the Ghost Festival, or he may accidentally fall into the water due to the commotion.
Even if we can’t find the crown prince, who would let this be the Ghost Festival?
Shangguan Zhou got off the carriage and did not rush down to the lake. Instead, he looked at the sinking carriage not far away and took a sip from the tea cup handed by another attendant.
"Don't worry, Xu Xiuyi can't swim, just let her drown in the Jinshui River to wash her ignorant mouth. Only at this edge of life and death can she understand Gu's kindness in saving her. Gu's kindness
I don’t like disobedient women the most.”
Looking at Shangguan Zhou's expression, the attendant felt a slight chill in his heart.
Sure enough, anyone who disobeys the prince, even if it is a woman, or the woman the prince intends to marry as the current crown princess, will be severely retaliated by His Highness.
Just look at the way the current Crown Princess is being tortured by the Crown Prince, and you will know that it would be okay if this Miss Xu was just a dull and dull Crown Princess.
If she had her own thoughts, she wouldn't be stuck with the prince.
In the car, Xu Xiuyi was hit by the impact of the fall and was dizzy and her whole body ached. Although she tried her best, she relied on her warrior instincts to kick the door open and pulled Mei Zhu out to struggle out.
But she couldn't swim, so the cold river water quickly enveloped her and poured into her mouth and nose...
In the dim river, she could vaguely see the swaying lights and shadows on the river. Her soul seemed to be pulled out of her body, and the old women were humming strange songs——
My brother went out to visit the grave, and there was a grandma sitting in the grave. Grandma came out to burn incense, and there was a girl sitting in the incense.
The girl came out to light the lamp...
If you fall into the river, you can't come back...
The girl came out to light the lamp...
If you fall into the river, you can't come back... This chapter has been completed!
