The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's secret guard was not panicked. When he heard the sound coming from outside the courtyard, he flew out of the window after getting Miss Yang Qi's consent.

Yang Qi quickly changed her clothes to avoid getting blood on her clothes from when she was treating the Crown Prince.

"Knock, please open the door." Outside the courtyard, His Royal Highness Prince An's men, accompanied by monks from Lingshan Temple, saw that there was no movement in the courtyard, so they knocked on the door louder and louder.

The violent knocking on the door woke up everyone in the yard.

An was sleeping soundly. When she heard the knock on the door, she couldn't help but feel a little angry: "Mom Jin, what time is it now?" It was dark, it must be late at night.

Mother Jin heard An's voice outside and hurried into the house and lit the lamp: "Madam, it's past midnight now."

Hearing this, An was furious: "Something serious must have happened. Why are they knocking on our door at this time? Mother Jin, go ask them what they want to do."

The light was also lit on Xu's side, and Mother Fang was helping Xu to get dressed.

Seeing that there was still bloodshot in Xu's eyes, Fang's mother said, "Madam, the eldest lady will take care of this matter. Why bother to rush here at this late hour?"

Xu looked outside the house with some concern: "Knocking on the door in the middle of the night must mean something big has happened in Lingshan Temple." If there weren't a noble person supporting them, even if the masters of Lingshan Temple had ten times the courage, they would not dare to disturb the courtyard of the Duke's Mansion at this time.

Yang Lan also got up, but she didn't plan to leave the house. Her mother and aunt were both there, so there was no need for her to go out.

Yang Lan rubbed his hands, feeling somewhat puzzled. Although there were many people living in Lingshan Temple, only the royal family had such important status.

Yang Lan looked at the sky outside the courtyard, which was lit up by torches. The noise outside the house must be a search. Could it be that the Crown Prince was assassinated?

Thinking of this, Yang Lan shook his head and rejected this idea. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is surrounded by talented people, and he brought the Feathered Guards with him this time. Unless they are plotting a rebellion, they will not be able to hurt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Could it be that there are other royal people in Lingshan Temple, and I don’t know where the Fifth Prince is now? The more Yang Lan thought about it, the more puzzled he became.

Mother Jin asked a few questions at the gate, and then ran to An's room: "Madam, it is said that His Royal Highness Prince An was assassinated, and the people outside are searching for the assassin!"

An's face changed: "What, why is His Royal Highness Prince An here?" The Duke's Mansion had not received any news about this matter. His Royal Highness Prince An came here secretly and was assassinated. The matter here must be serious.

She quickly put on her clothes and left the house: "Let's go, I'll go and see for myself."

The guards of His Royal Highness Prince An and the monks of Lingshan Temple had already entered the yard. More than ten people were standing in the yard holding torches. An felt a little nervous when she saw them.

Taking a deep breath, An said to the monks and guards at the front, "What's the matter?"

The monk in front nodded to An and said, "Your Highness Prince An was injured by an assassin in Lingshan Temple today. His Highness Prince An's guards are currently searching for the assassin in the temple. I hope Madam will help you."

An was a little hesitant. If she didn't let the guards search, she was afraid that His Royal Highness Prince An would think too much and think that the Duke of Song's Mansion was guilty.

At this time, Xu came out of the house and said, "Can you please help me? They are going to search the yard. There are young ladies in our yard, how can we let you search!" If these guards and monks were really allowed to enter the rooms of Yang Qi and other children today, I am afraid that the reputations of several young ladies would be damaged.

Yang Qi and Yang Lan heard Xu's voice in the room and felt relieved.

Yang Lan frowned at An's behavior. What was her mother doing? These people were nothing more than guards beside Prince An. They had no power to enforce the law. To be honest, they were not much different from the servants in the mansion. If she let these people into her house, she would become a laughing stock in the whole capital.

The leading guard had a tough attitude: "Your Highness Prince An has been injured by thieves. If you insist on not letting us search, then you are protecting the thieves!"

Born as a military officer and having been in charge of the Duke's Mansion for many years, how could Xu be frightened by the guards' words? "Be careful with your words! I am only telling the truth. There are many officials and their wives staying at Lingshan Temple tonight. Do you really think that you can really enter these ladies' rooms and search them?"

The leading guard was choked by Xu's words, and after a while he said, "I'm very sorry to have disturbed the young ladies of the Duke's Mansion tonight, but the prince has ordered it."

Seeing the current situation was a little tense, Xu said, "I wonder if today's assassins are men or women, and how many there are in total. If they are men, then there is no need for the young ladies in our mansion to search! Or are you worried that there are people in the young lady's room, so we can only let the women enter the room to search."

The leading guard had just participated in the fight and was very sure that it was two adult men. These officials and young ladies could indeed be ruled out. After hesitating for a while, he ordered the people around him: "Go back immediately and ask the maids around the prince to come over."

Then, the leading guard said to An and Xu, "Thank you two ladies for asking all the servants in the Duke of Song's mansion to come out. We just had a fight with the thieves, so let's come down and identify them."

An was a little overshadowed by Xu, and she felt unhappy: "Since the guards around His Royal Highness Prince An said so, Madam Jin, please ask all the servants in the mansion to come to the yard."

Yang Qi was in the room, and couldn't help but want to praise Xu. Second Aunt was too domineering! Facing the guards around His Royal Highness Prince An, she didn't even feel inferior.

This time when An and Xu came to Lingshan Temple, they did not bring many servants, and the few servants who came were only there to drive the carriage.

The guards who were sent to search the Duke of Song's Mansion quickly rushed back to the courtyard of His Royal Highness Prince An, but they never expected that all the maids around His Royal Highness Prince An had been sent out to search.

What Xu said was not wrong. No one in the mansion allowed it. The guards and monks around His Royal Highness Prince An went to search the young lady's room. As a result, all the old women and maids around His Royal Highness Prince An were called over, and even the cook was not spared.

The guard was somewhat helpless. After reporting his needs to the housekeeper, he returned to the courtyard of the Duke of Song's Mansion.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Peilin were both about six feet tall and had good martial arts skills. His Royal Highness Prince An's guards briefly tested and checked and confirmed that these servants were not the assassins just now.

Since His Royal Highness Prince An was "assassinated", all external affairs are now in the charge of His Royal Highness Prince An's steward.

The housekeeper in Prince An's mansion sighed. If he had known this would happen, he should have brought more maids and servants here. There really aren't enough people now.

Yang Qi felt a little bored staying in the house, but given the current situation, he couldn't leave the house.
