The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

While the women from Prince An's house had not yet arrived, An asked Mother Jin to call out all the young ladies in the house.

Just when Yang Qi was feeling sleepy, she heard An's instructions and had no choice but to get up and put on her clothes.

As Yang Qi put on her clothes, she yawned. This night was truly a fantasy. After saving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, she now had to deal with His Royal Highness Prince An's men.

Wait, His Royal Highness Prince An! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was injured, but His Royal Highness Prince An came here in a big way to find the murderer. Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly inquired about His Royal Highness Prince An's affairs today?

Look at the Crown Prince wearing night clothes today, and Peilin using voice-changing pills. So aren’t the Crown Prince and Peilin the assassins that Prince An is looking for?

It seems that the guards of His Royal Highness Prince An will return empty-handed. Prince An can send people to search the courtyards of our court officials and their families, but he dare not go to the place where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rests.

Yang Qi patted his head. He had been thinking too much and experiencing too much these days. He still hadn’t figured out such a simple thing. How stupid.

This is really a lot of trouble.

Xin Che helped Yang Qi comb her hair into a simple bun, and put a cloak on her before going out.

As soon as he went out, Yang Qi felt that the weather seemed to be getting colder, and he quickly pulled his cloak closer.

Seeing that An, Xu, Yang Lan and Yang He were already waiting in the yard, Yang Qi quietly stood behind everyone, his face still looking like he had just woken up.

Looking at the group of people, only Xu was not wearing a cloak. Yang Qi whispered to Mother Fang to go to the house and get a cloak for Xu to put on.

Xu took the cloak and smiled at Yang Qi.

Xu walked up to Yang Qi and asked, "Did you hear any noise just now?" It seemed that His Royal Highness Prince An had checked all the courtyards, and there were noises coming from everywhere.

"What's that sound?" Yang Qi looked confused. "Second Aunt, I slept a little late yesterday. Just now, Xin Che came to call me and said that His Royal Highness Prince An was assassinated. But what does this have to do with our house?"

Xu shook her head: "This matter has nothing to do with us. Let's give Prince An's Mansion some face and let them investigate."

Yang Qi nodded, and tears came out because she was so sleepy.

Xu felt a little distressed. It was really disturbing at night. She took out a handkerchief and wiped Yang Qi's face. "It's not peaceful today. You should stay in the yard for the next few days."

"These few days?" Yang Qi blinked. Didn't he go back after breakfast?

Xu looked at Yang Qi's confused face, her heart almost melted: "Such a big thing happened in Lingshan Temple, we must wait until everything is settled before we can go back."

At this time, if the people in the Duke's Mansion were forced to leave the mansion, they would have to go through rounds of screening. Even if they were in the mansion, they might be under surveillance for a while. It would be better to stay in Lingshan Temple for a few more days. Anyway, Xu was very comfortable staying in Lingshan Temple.

Yang Qi already knew it in his heart, but his face showed sudden enlightenment.

The night in Lingshan Temple was even colder when the wind blew, and the effect of the melting mountain warm jade was reflected at this time. Xu and Yang Lan's hands were a little cold, but Yang Qi's whole body was warm.

Everyone waited in the wind for a while, and the maid from Prince An's Mansion finally arrived. Thinking of the Duke's wife and several legitimate daughters waiting for the maids here, Yang Qi felt helpless. The Duke's Mansion was really a bit declining. If it was Bai Yuxin, these guards and maids would definitely not dare to let the Bai family wait outside.

The two people who stood at the entrance of the courtyard and introduced themselves were wearing Suzhou embroidered satin and had gold hairpins and many ornaments on their heads. Rather than being maids, they looked more like young ladies from a noble family.

Yang Qi had long heard that Prince An was extremely fond of the maidservants around him, and gave them gold, silver, jewelry, brocade and silk as free gifts. Now it seems that the rumors are indeed true.

After finally waiting for the maid from Prince An's mansion to arrive, An and Xu hurriedly asked Mama Jin and Mama Fang to follow the maid to search for the suspects, in case these two had done anything wrong.

Everyone was waiting in the yard to complete the procedure, when a maid came out angrily with a bloody piece of clothing: "Whose house is this? Why is there blood on the clothing?"

The guards in the yard were all thinking about leaving. Hearing the maid's voice, everyone became more alert, and some even took out the knives they carried with them.

The room the maid came out of belonged to Yang Jing. An was very dissatisfied with the behavior of these maids and guards.

Yang Jing felt extremely shy and embarrassed: "You are a girl too, don't you have your period?" She had just had her period, and she hadn't had time to ask the maid to wash her clothes.

The women present reacted immediately, but the guards of His Royal Highness Prince An were stunned and did not react at all, still pointing the knives at people.

Although An Xiaoqiu was a little scared when she saw those flashing swords, she still mustered up her courage and said to the maid holding Yang Jing's pants, "They don't understand, don't you two go and explain it to them?"

The two maids around His Royal Highness Prince An have always been pampered, and they are not afraid of An Xiaoqiu at all: "Your Highness is injured, and the assassin was also stabbed with a sword, so wherever he passed, there must be blood. Now I found this in your room, can you say it is what it is? You can explain this blood as menstrual fluid, so can we suspect that it is the assassin's blood?"

Yang Lan couldn't stand watching any longer and spoke up to help: "The guards just said that the assassins were two men. Since you didn't find the so-called assassins in the house, you should not focus on my sister. After all, my sister is just a child."

The maid of Prince An's mansion recognized Yang Lan, the eldest daughter of Duke Song and the beloved daughter of Marquis Yongyi. With a thick background, the two could only put their clothes back in the house and prepare to leave.

Looking at the two people's actions, Xu said quickly: "Stop, you haven't come to a conclusion about my niece's matter yet." If she left like this, it would be a troublesome matter if the daily routine was dug up.

Hearing Xu's words, the maids nearby hurriedly grabbed the maid from Prince An's mansion.

The maid of Prince An's Mansion saw that she was in a bad situation and could only say, "Miss, this is indeed sunflower water. The situation is urgent and we are too impatient."

Seeing that they had reached a conclusion, Xu gave a look and everyone let the two men leave the yard.

Xu solved the problem, and Yang Jing felt a rare admiration for her second aunt.

Yang Qi now looks depressed, he is really too tired today.

Seeing that the monks and guards had left the yard, and An and Xu had also gone back, Yang Qi hurried back to the room. Now all he wanted was to return to his bed.
