The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

"Is the young master okay?"

"It's okay. The young master is still young after all. What happened tonight didn't bother him."

The shopping woman replied respectfully.

Xu Keke frowned, remembering the woman's voice that had initially addressed everyone in the mansion.

"Mammy, besides the men in black who came to assassinate us tonight, were there any casualties among our men?"

The shopping woman shook her head.

"The servants in our house were more or less injured, but they are not seriously injured. However, among the people taken away by the Regent, it seems that two or three of them died.

But miss, there's no need to feel sorry for them. They came to commit murder, and they deserved to be killed by the Regent."

Xu Ke nodded, and went back to her room to lie down exhausted.

Dingdang was injured, and Xiaohong was keeping watch in the small room outside the boudoir.

Xu Keke remembered the only person who appeared once and protected her secretly.

That was the time when Xu Yuanyuan brought his servants to cause trouble.

The servants of the eldest house were fighting with the servants of the Xu family, and when they saw that they were no match for them,

A black shadow landed lightly and quickly kicked each of the people brought by Xuyuanyuan.

Then disappeared silently.

At that time, both she and Dingdang saw the black shadow.

They also guessed that the black figure was slim and should be a woman.

The woman's voice tonight spread throughout the front and back yards of the Xu Mansion. It must be a woman.

Xu Keke sighed, wondering what would happen to the woman who secretly protected her. Would she be in trouble?

There were many men in black who entered the mansion to assassinate the emperor, and they were all very skilled. Could they be assassins from the underworld?

Who exactly wants to kill himself?

Could it be the wish she had made that was beaten in public?

Or was it the young empress dowager who always harbored ill will towards her?

While Xu Ke was tossing and turning in bed, the meeting room in Prince Sheng's Mansion was brightly lit.

Chu Musheng sat in the main seat in the hall and listened to Sheng Wu's report.

"Your Majesty, there were six men in black who sneaked into the backyard of the Xu Mansion tonight, and two of them were killed by An Liu.

The other four were severely injured by our men and have been imprisoned in the dungeon. Sheng Er, Sheng San and others are currently torturing them.

An Liu was seriously injured and died from excessive bleeding."

Chu Musheng's face was gloomy, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry.

"We must pry the mastermind out of those four. An Liu's funeral must be handled properly. It can be handed over to another An Liu, and the pension will be compensated tenfold."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Sheng Wu responded.

"Immediately, Secret Guard Six will withdraw, and we will send a few more Secret Guards to strengthen Miss Xu's protection. We cannot let her fall into danger again."

Sheng Wu nodded in agreement and then stepped back.

Chu Musheng looked towards the direction where the Xu family was.

The two secret guards he sent to protect Xu Ke were twin sisters. The two women looked almost exactly the same.

Not to mention Chu Musheng, even the chief instructor of the secret guard camp, Eunuch Pan, couldn't tell who was the elder sister and who was the younger sister.

Since he couldn't tell them apart, Chu Musheng gave them all the name Anliu.

Chu Musheng leaned back in his chair, frowning, wondering who was so bold as to attack his princess right under his nose.

The reason why he could arrive in time with his men tonight was that the two An Lius changed shifts at midnight every day. The An Liu who came back to rest seemed to have a bad premonition and came to ask for a meeting.

Speaking of which, there seems to be a strange telepathy between these twin sisters.

Often when one party has a premonition of danger, the other party will also notice it.

Tonight, An Liu returned to the palace to rest. It was based on this inexplicable premonition that Xu Keke might be in danger, so he took the risk of asking to see the Regent late at night.

Although Chu Musheng would not easily believe in such mysterious telepathy, he cared about it.

I would rather make a wasted trip than not go and see if Xu Ke is safe.

When they arrived outside Xu's house, they heard the sound of fighting in the yard.

Chu Musheng was extremely anxious at the time, and his heart didn't settle down until he held Xu Keke in his arms.

Chu Musheng held on to the armrest of the chair tightly. No matter who the mastermind was this time, he would not let him go.

At this moment, another An Liu has already learned the news of his sister's death.

She came to the room where her sister's body was lying.

On the large table, my sister lay quietly under the white cloth, never to make any sound again.

An Liu burst into tears.

She grew up with her deceased sister, trained with her, and carried out missions with her.

No one around them could tell who was who.

When they looked at each other, it was like they were looking in the mirror, and even the smiles on their lips appeared at the same time.

That feeling of telepathy had never disappeared, but at this moment, she could no longer sense it.

The reason why she is the younger sister is because her older sister always cares about her more.

When they were alone together, my sister would always say:

"We have chosen this path. The first thing is to obey the master's orders completely. The second is to be absolutely loyal to the master. The third is to take good care of yourself!"

Her sister's words were still ringing in her ears, but her sister's departure made her heartbroken.

"Who is it? Who did this cruel thing?"

No one answered her in the empty morgue.

With trembling hands, she peeled off the white cloth on her sister's body. The already solidified wounds on her sister's body broke her heart into pieces.

……

No matter how much ugliness the night hides, the sun will rise as usual the next day and shine on this land that nurtures countless lives.

When Xu Keke woke up, sunlight shone through the window onto her face.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up, her mind still on the thrill of last night.

Xiaohong came in carrying a basin of water.

"Miss, you are awake."

Xu Ke nodded.

"Xiaohong, how is Dingdang's injury?"

Xiaohong smiled.

"Don't worry, Miss. Sister Dingdang is much better now. Aunt Ding is giving her medicine right now."

Xu Keke got up and washed, thinking about going to see Dingdang, as well as his father and mother as soon as possible.

After washing up, Xu Keke hurried to Dingdang's room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Dingdang lying on the bed. Although her face was still a little pale, she looked much better.

As soon as Dingdang saw Xu Keke, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Miss, I'm so glad you're okay!"

This girl, even though she was injured so badly, still cared about the young lady. Xu Ke was touched and stepped forward to hold Dingdang's hand.

"Dingdang, how do you feel?"

Dingdang smiled and replied:

"My lady, I am much better now. I hope to get better soon so that I can serve you."

Xu Keke sat by the bed and tucked in the quilt for Dingdang.

"Ding, be obedient and take good care of your injuries first. Don't worry about anything else."

Dingdang nodded repeatedly, and the bitterness in her mouth after drinking the Chinese medicine was gone.

After coming out of Dingdang's room, Xu Keke went to his mother's yard again.

The second master went to the Imperial College early in the morning. Although such a big thing happened last night, since the Regent had taken over, the second master did not think of reporting to the police.

Is there any official in Shengjing City who is higher than the Regent?

My good daughter is now the future Princess Regent. Any disturbance on her side will inevitably cause a stir in the whole court.
