lothes. Along with the disciples of Xuntang Valley who were also wearing matching night clothes, a dozen or so people left the military camp.But none of them had expected that the people they were go...A Xue Tang's sudden question instantly made Ning'er and Yun Si's hearts tighten.

Fortunately, the two of them had already done some mental preparation before they arrived. Even though they were being stared at by An Xuetang's sharp gaze right now, neither of them showed any signs of weakness.

Instead, both of them showed an extremely genuine look of confusion after An Xuetang asked that question.

Ning'er frowned slightly, "How could the Princess ask such a question"

An Xue Tang did not speak, but simply beckoned to Ning'er with her hand.

Ning'er didn't understand, but she still walked to her mistress' side.

As soon as she approached An Xuetang, she saw An Xuetang reach out and remove a small leaf that had somehow gotten on her clothes.

Taking the leaves off Ning'er, she pointed at Yun Si. "You have some on you too."

Yun Si looked down and saw that he, too, had a leaf on him.

He had just taken it down when he heard his own wife say, "If I'm not mistaken, the elder brother's courtyard in the far end of the Wangfu from Jingtang Garden has a locust tree."

But both Ning'er and Yun Si had leaves from the locust tree on them, which means they both went to that courtyard at the same time.

But if she remembered correctly, that courtyard was usually unoccupied. What could Yun Si and Ning'er possibly be doing there

The only thing she could think of was that Yun Si and Ning'er might have met privately, avoiding everyone else.

Ning'er suddenly smiled helplessly at this moment, Yun Si also smiled and explained, "Your Highness, since the last incident with the mouse, I have been staying in that courtyard every night."

“......”

She really doesn't know about this.

She looked at Shou'er, and saw Shou'er nod. "Your Highness, that is indeed the case."

If that were truly the case, then Ning'er must have gone to that courtyard to look for Yun Si.

That explains why she and Yunsi both have leaves from the locust tree on them.

Thinking that she was being too sensitive, An Xue Tang apologetically looked at Yun Si and Ning'er, "I overthought things. I'm sorry."

Ninger shook her head. "Your Highness need not explain, the servant girl understands Your Highness's thoughts."

Yun Si also added, "On the way here, Ning'er has already told me about the princess's dream, so I understand. The princess needn't take it to heart."

Because she was worried about Mo Junyi, An Xuetang didn't have time to think much at the moment. The image of Mo Junyi injured in her dream flashed through her mind, and her body trembled involuntarily.

At this moment, I said to Yun Si, "For so many days, we haven't received any news from Zi Ling, and Yun Wu hasn't sent back any information either. Coupled with my nightmare tonight, although it's a bit superstitious and I don't fully understand it myself, I still feel that Zi Ling and Yun Wu, along with the others, are very likely to have encountered serious trouble."

“So right now I need you to quickly count the people currently in the manor. We still have gunpowder here in our manor, so even if something really happens, we have gunpowder. And there are people from the Qingyun Pavilion in Beijing to help us out, nothing major can happen.”

“But Zi Ling and Yun Wu only have a few people around them. If their whereabouts are really exposed, I don't know how many people will want to deal with them. I'm afraid that the manpower around them can't resist anything at all, so you should quickly count the manpower. Leave half of them in the mansion, and send the rest out to find people.”

After she finished speaking, she didn't give Yun Si a chance to refuse. She turned to Ning'er again, "Not only do we need to send out the Yun family army, but all those who search for Tanggu also need to be dispatched. After all, they are experienced in wandering the rivers and lakes and finding people, so let them all go out and look for her."

..."...

All out

This point, whether it was Ning'er and the others or Yun Si, they all disagreed.

Not to mention dispatching half of the Yun family army, even if they sent out one tenth, wouldn't the prince be furious if he found out

Even if the princess always felt that people in the Prince's Mansion had explosives, under normal circumstances, no one would break in.

In their prince's eyes, once the power of the Prince's Manor weakens, how many people would take the opportunity to strike By then, how long could the remaining bit of gunpowder in the manor withstand

So what the princess is saying now, he can't do. Unless he wants to leave Beijang Palace and wish to die in front of the prince as atonement.

An Xuetang saw Yun Si and Ning'er both looking embarrassed, and for a moment, they didn't respond to her words.

She knew very well that such an arrangement would inevitably make Yunsi and Ning'er quite uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to say:

"I know this arrangement will worry you, and I'm also afraid that if Ajing finds out about it, he'll blame me. But please rest assured, this is my decision and I take full responsibility for whatever consequences may arise."

"When Ah Jing returns, I'll explain everything to him. You don't need to worry that he'll punish you for anything. This was my decision alone; I ordered you to do this. Whatever happens, you have nothing to do with it."

Yun Si and Ning'er looked at each other. What they truly worried about wasn't the punishment from the King of Beijang, but the safety of the Princess.

For Yun Si and the others, although they were also very worried about the crown prince, to be honest, the crown prince was still Mo Yunchen's son. Although the crown prince had a relationship with their king just like a biological father and son.

However, it still falls a little short of the word "biological."

If the princess wasn't carrying the true blood of the king, they might go all out to find the prince. But the main problem now is that their princess is carrying their king's own flesh and blood, and it's twins.

Between princes and true masters, they would naturally choose the true masters.

So unless they receive the true command from the Prince, they would not send most of their people to search for the Young Master as the Princess had said, and leave the Princess in the capital city—a place that could devour someone.

As for Ning'er and the other siblings from Xuntang Valley, they needn't be mentioned. They exist solely to protect the princess.

Although Prince Mo Junyi has a good relationship with the princesses and they care about him very much, he is ultimately not related to them in any way.

To withdraw most of the personnel from around the Princess at this critical juncture is to completely disregard her safety.

They wouldn't do such things, nor dare they.

They sought their brethren in the Tanggu Valley, unafraid of punishment from the King of Beijang. But they feared their valley master, Fengming.

Although their master is now in a coma, no matter what they do, the master won't know. But their master will eventually wake up.

By then, they wouldn't be able to get away with it, even if the princess spoke up for them.

So, in this matter, neither Yun Si nor Ning'er could possibly agree.

But right now An Xue Tang's attitude wasn't to discuss with them, but rather she was using her limited identity to command them that they had to do so.nt Jiang Qingyang is not the person she knew, so she has nothing to suspect.An Xuetang, seeing the frankness in her eyes, immediately understood that Xiao Qin had truly let go of Jiang Qingyang.She sm...
