The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

There were fewer and fewer people in the restaurant, and the brave ones had already left.

A lot of people left and Yang Qi finally felt more comfortable. The restaurant was so crowded just now that Yang Qi felt like she was having trouble breathing.

Yang Qing always planned before taking action, so he had to think more when encountering such a matter. It was not until most people had left that Yang Qing led Yang Qi and his group out of the restaurant.

Once again, Yang Qi returned to the moat and looked around carefully. The chaos caused by the assassin had been almost cleaned up, but the light boats were still parked on the moat. I think they were Yuan Ruiyuan's people and needed further inspection to see if there were any clues. However, the fifth prince dared to do such a thing as assassination, so there must be no handle.

The Jingzhao Yinfu and the Prince's Guard surrounded the moat and Heshan Street and set up several checkpoints, each of which was staffed with a bunch of people for thorough inspections.

The people who had been watching the light boats in the moat came out of their shops and lined up in long queues at three intersections.

Yang Qi struggled for a while, trying to walk on his own. Yang Qing knew what Yang Qi meant: "Don't run around."

Yang Qi nodded quickly.

Seeing her third sister walking by herself, A Yao stopped letting Song Wei hold her. What happened just now was a special situation. She was already five years old, and it would be too embarrassing to tell others if she still needed someone to hold her when going out.

Yang Qi followed behind Yang Qing and saw that there was no one on the lightship. She thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already evacuated the scene. She hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's injuries were not too serious. She would have to rely on you in the future. Yang Qi prayed silently for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in her heart.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening today, Yang Qi specially brought a bag of elixir when he went out. It seems that it will not be needed today.

Yang Qing looked at the long queue at the intersection and estimated that he might not be able to get in for a while, and according to the current speed of the officers and soldiers, he might not be able to return home tomorrow.

Sighing, Yang Qing led a group of people to the front of the team and said to the officers and soldiers leading the team: "I am Song Yangqing, the eldest son of Duke Song's mansion. I brought my brothers and sisters to see the lanterns today, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. There is an emergency at home, and I hope you can help us return home earlier."

Before Yang Qing finished speaking, Song Wei took out a bulging wallet and prepared to stuff it into her hand.

The leader of the Jingzhao Yinfu officials was a square-faced man in his thirties. He saluted Song Yangqing and said, "Sir Song, I'm sorry. Today's incident involves a lot of people. No matter who you are, you have to line up and be carefully screened before you can go through."

Yang Qing nodded to show her understanding: "Sir, I wonder how long the queue will end?"

The square-faced man looked at the line behind him and said, "If we queue up now, we'll probably have to wait until tomorrow to get to the intersection."

Yang Qing was a little anxious: "It's okay for us men, but we have little girls here. How can they survive a night in winter?"

Yang Qing's words did not frighten the officials of Jingzhao Yinfu. On weekdays, these people have always been in contact with these dignitaries. This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince issued an order, so even if Duke Song was here in person, it would not be so effective.

The square-faced man was not as polite as the first time. He just said coldly: "Mr. Song, our superiors have given the order and we are just following it. I hope you won't make things difficult for us." The one who was assassinated today was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even if you are a young master or a young lady from the Duke's Mansion, you have to wait here and wait to be questioned.

Besides, aren't there a lot of families of civil and military officials in this team? If they were given an exception, everyone would clamor to go through first, and the order would be disrupted again.

Yang Qing felt helpless, he was still a commoner, and the Song Mansion had fallen into decline. He really couldn't get through this situation anymore.

Yang Qi pulled Yang Qing's collar and said, "Brother, I'm fine. Let's rest in the restaurant tonight."

Yang Qing shook her head: "I'm afraid we don't even have a place to rest now."

Yuan Ruiyuan had many injuries, but they were not serious, just superficial ones.

Tonight, I have sent people to guard every mansion in the capital. If there is any unusual movement, it can be confirmed that it is Yuan Ruiyin's party. Moreover, the incident today has become a big deal, and it also allows my uncle to see the true face of my father.

My uncle has always been loyal to the emperor and the country, and is loyal to the late emperor and my father. If we don't use some drastic measures, how can we make my grandfather wake up?

Sitting in the carriage, Yuan Ruiyuan drove out all the imperial doctors and eunuchs sent from the palace, and refused to let them in no matter what people outside said.

Peilin was in charge of all surveillance work tonight. After gathering all the information, he hurried to Yuan Ruiyuan's carriage to ask for an audience. As for those imperial doctors, Peilin didn't even look at them. What a joke! If these injuries could threaten His Highness, then His Highness would have died countless times.

With the permission of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Peilin entered the carriage and said, "Your Highness, this is the mansion where all the anomalies are today." After handing the newspaper to His Royal Highness, Peilin immediately got out of the carriage.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked through all the names of the names carefully. The temperature in the carriage was getting lower and lower. Very good, very good. Except for those who were loyal to him, almost all the rest were mobilized.

But Bai Xiang was not on the list. It seemed that his father was using Bai Xiang as a trump card.

Yuan Ruiyuan closed his eyes. This time, he had hurt the enemy by a thousand and lost eight hundred of his own. He had been taught since childhood that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. Unexpectedly, he would end up getting the tiger cub before entering the tiger's den.

Pulling aside the curtain, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at all the blocked intersections. It seemed that there was nothing to be gained here. Yuan Ruiyuan wanted to go back to the mansion directly, but suddenly saw Yang Qi and his group communicating with Jingzhao Yinfu. This girl was also there today.

Yuan Ruiyuan said, "Pei Lin, send someone to lead them."

As Yuan Ruiyuan's most trusted confidant, Peilin naturally understood His Highness's intentions: "Yes."

Then Perrin gave a few instructions to the guard beside him.

While Yang Qing was still hesitating whether to find some people to return to the Duke's Mansion to deliver the message, or to use some silver to find a place to stay by the moat, a man in green clothes, with black cloud-patterned sleeves and holding a big sword came over and said a few words to the man with a square face.

The square-faced man immediately put on a smile and called Yang Qing and his group back: "Mr. Song, wait a minute."

Yang Qing felt a little strange when she heard the voice of the square-faced man.

Seeing Yang Qing turned around, the square-faced man felt relieved: "Mr. Song, please come this way."

Yang Qing looked at the 180-degree contrast between the front and back of Jingzhao Yinfu and felt a little strange: "I wonder what you want me to do now, sir?"

The square-faced man felt a little uneasy: "It's not an order, just escort Mr. Song away first."

Ah Yao was listening to their conversation and said, "Brother, let's go back quickly. It's so late now, and mother must be very worried."
