The imperial guards acted quickly this time. After about half an hour, the entire capital could only enter but not leave. All the people could not take to the streets at will, and everyone was in danger.

Fang Laoshangshu did not come to visit the regent. He personally led his soldiers to search for the fugitives.

Princess Ruyi has been a little uneasy since she returned from the Regent's Mansion.

After saying a few words to the eldest princess, she hurried back to her palace.

The little maid waiting beside her knew what she was worried about, so she gently advised her: "Your Highness, no matter what happens to him, you have nothing to do with him. You are the daughter of the eldest princess now, and she will protect you!"

Ruyi sighed helplessly: "I'm worried about my mother and brother, they may be implicated!"

Seeing that she was depressed, the little maid couldn't help but said: "How about I go out and inquire about it!"

Princess Ruyi quickly urged: "Then go quickly!"

Not long after, the little maid came back in a hurry to report: "Your Highness, don't worry, the eldest princess has already brought your mother and young master to the house, and they are living in the yard next door. You can go and visit at any time!"

Ruyi's eyes were red with emotion, the eldest princess really loved her.

She wiped her tears hard and said, "I'm going to make some snacks for my mother myself, and we'll send them to her later!"

"Yeah!" The little maid nodded hurriedly.

In the Fang family courtyard, An Jingyue was counting the dowry.

She frowned and said, "Eh? Why don't you have that fox fur cloak that my mother left for me?"

The nanny next to me was stunned for a moment before she spoke: "Obviously the slave has been put into the cage, how come it's not there?"

Jing Jing Yue flipped through it a few more times without believing it. After confirming that it was not there, she sighed helplessly: "Maybe I left it behind. That big cloak was sewn for me by my mother. I have to get it. Let's go, you Follow me back to An Mansion!"

When the master and servant left the courtyard, they saw no one else on the street except officers and soldiers.

It was said that a wanted criminal had escaped, but his identity was not disclosed at all.

Jing Jingyue didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly led the old nanny to An Mansion.

When he was approaching the door, he met Mr. Fang Lao Shangshu who was patrolling with soldiers.

She stepped forward to salute with a blushing face, and said obediently: "Jingyue pays homage to the old minister!"

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything urgent about returning to An Mansion at this time?"

She quickly replied: "The cloak my mother left for me can't be found. I want to see if it was left in the house!"

Fang Laoshangshu nodded and warned in a gentle voice: "I will give you two guards. There is some danger on the street. Qingshan is performing official duties. Let them stay by your side!"

Jing Jingyue would not accept it. She already regretted going out at this time, but it was too late to say anything now.

She could only say: "Don't bother me, Old Shangshu, my grandma and I will go back soon, don't worry!"

Seeing her persistence, Mr. Fang didn't insist anymore.

However, a few guards were still left guarding the door of An's mansion, waiting for An Jingyue and Nanny to come out before returning to their lives.

An Jingyue entered the gate of An Mansion. The house, which had been empty for only two months, was now in a state of depression and dilapidation.

There were spider webs everywhere, and it was really scary.

The old grandma sighed helplessly: "Sure enough, if no one lives in this house, it will deteriorate very quickly. It has only been less than two months and it has already become like this!"

Jing Jingyue didn't have much emotion. She also disliked that it was ruined quickly enough. After she got married, she would definitely renovate this place and turn it into a charity hall to adopt orphans without parents.

With this thought in mind, she came to the quiet and elegant house in the backyard.

The old nanny pushed the door open before her. When she saw the white fox fur cloak, she immediately said in surprise: "Miss, this trip was not in vain, I found it!"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a sharp sword fell on her neck.

She was so frightened that she could hardly stand still.

Jing Jingyue reacted quickly. She knew how to do it. She subconsciously raised her foot and kicked the person who came by hard.

However, her kick was really soft.

Because she was horrified to find that her body didn't have any strength left.

She turned around and saw the burning incense powder next to her, and then suddenly realized that she had been drugged.

She gritted her teeth and murmured: "Who are you? Why are you hiding in An Mansion?"

The person grabbed her wrist with one hand, and the pain made her tremble all over.

She gritted her teeth hard, but was too stubborn to let the tears fall.

He laughed mockingly: "Shang Shu An would never have thought that his life would be ruined at the hands of a daughter who had given up long ago, would he? You are so unfilial, aren't you afraid of thunder from the sky?"

A look of hatred flashed in An Jingyue's eyes, and she said coldly: "Ever since he allowed his concubine to poison me and disfigure me, he is no longer my father!"

The visitor raised the corners of his lips contemptuously, but said no more.

After a moment, a man in black suddenly appeared in front of him. He reported urgently: "Master, several soldiers are coming to the yard!"
