He smiled and said to Qiao Yuange: "Have a good rest. There will be things to do tomorrow."
Qiao Yuange also smiled and went to rest with Xiao Yun.
Qiao Yuange slept very uncomfortably that night, as if nightmares were always lingering around her.
She couldn't have a good rest.
Until the next morning, when she woke up, she saw that Xiao Yun was different from usual. Xiao Yun usually got up much earlier than her and went to deal with the matters in the harem early.
But today Xiao Yun actually fell into a deep sleep, seemingly a little tired.
Qiao Yuange didn't have the heart to wake him up, so he just sat beside him and watched him quietly until he woke up.
When Xiao Yun woke up, he saw the eldest nanny rushing into their bedroom without even caring what they were doing. She immediately said, "Oh no, there are some problems with the palace where the prince lived before. Do you want to go take a look?"
Qiao Yuange didn't originally want the nanny to wake Xiao Yun up.
So she immediately stood up and walked over, then asked, "Are you talking about what happened in the courtyard where Fang Yuan and her friends lived before?"
The head nanny pulled Qiao Yuange aside and said to her, "I heard that many maids in Fang Yuan's courtyard were brutally murdered."
Qiao Yuange gasped and looked at the grandmother in surprise and said, "Impossible, how could someone in the harem dare to do this? How about Fang Yuan?"
Although Qiao Yuange didn't like Fang Yuan, she didn't want Fang Yuan to die at the hands of others.
Her feelings towards Fang Yuan were actually very complicated. She certainly hoped that Fang Yuan would pay the price, but at the same time she felt that the harm Fang Yuange had suffered was not justified.
The eldest nanny said, "Fang Yuan's condition is not very good. She is lying on the bed, obviously terrified. It seems that she is hanging on to her last breath."
The head nanny actually didn't have a good impression of Fang Yuan, but since Qiao Yuange asked, she really should make it clear.
After she said this, she felt a little embarrassed because after all, Qiao Yuange didn't like Fang Yuan very much.
Qiao Yuange sighed slightly. At this moment, Xiao Yun also came out, looked at Qiao Yuange and said to her: "If you are worried about her, why not go and see her? After all, she is the only family member you have."
Qiao Yuange said, "My feelings towards her now are not those of a sister. I just want to see what tricks she can come up with. All the maids in the yard were wiped out, but she, as the owner of the yard, actually survived. Is this reasonable? I think there must be something fishy going on. I'll go check it out first."
Xiao Yun smiled, knowing that Qiao Yuange could say such words now, perhaps to hide his inner nervousness.
Then he nodded and waved his hand, signaling Qiao Yuange to hurry over.
When Qiao Yuange and the nanny went over, the smell of blood in the whole yard was so strong that it made people feel nauseous.
Qiao Yuange walked in, resisting the urge to smell the odors, and saw the three women that the emperor had previously given to Xiao Yuli sitting there, with very ugly expressions on their faces.
Ever since Xiao Yuli passed away, they had originally planned to send her out of the palace, but since she was marrying Xiao Yuli after all, they wanted to at least see him off to the end.
They thought that Xiao Yuli's funeral had already been completed, and they were planning to come back to pack up, but they didn't expect that the assassin would take advantage of this opportunity and massacre the entire yard.
Most of the maids were almost dead.
Moreover, these three women were also injured and huddled together. They were obviously very scared and didn’t know what they should do.
When they saw Qiao Yuange coming, their eyes lit up, but they seemed to feel that Qiao Yuange was not the emperor after all, and even if he came, he would not be able to help them change anything.
Then the expression on his face returned to calm.
Qiao Yuange walked over, looked at them and said to them, "Are you all okay?"
They reluctantly raised their heads and looked at Qiao Yuange and said, "Hello, Miss Qiao. If you ask us whether our situation is good or not, we can only say that the situation is really too critical... When we were sleeping in the middle of the night, someone broke into our house through the window and tried to attack us with weapons. Fortunately, we reacted quickly, hid in a corner, and shouted loudly, scaring those people away, but we were also injured to varying degrees."
"They were very arrogant and acted very quickly. They even started the attack before we could react."
Qiao Yuange took a breath and asked, "What kind of clothes are they wearing?"
Could it be those black people that I saw yesterday? Those people in black were walking around in the harem wantonly, without caring whether anyone in the harem would discover them.
Now they are targeting Fang Yuan's yard first. Why is this?
If it were Qiao Yuange, she thought that if the Wu Kingdom took action, they would first find every opportunity to attack Xiao Yun's yard.
Regardless of success or failure, at least it can dampen Xiao Yun's enthusiasm and ensure the completion of his own plan.
The assassination of Xiao Yun would be enough if it succeeded once.
No matter how many times you fail, it doesn’t matter.
Qiao Yuange thought that her ideas were what normal people would do, but those assassins seemed a little stupid and their ideas were very different from hers.
Of course she was grateful that the assassins did not attack Xiao Yun, allowing the two of them to survive until the early morning, but what was she going to do about the mess in the yard?
Her relationship with Fang Yuan was indeed not very good now, but seeing so many people died in Fang Yuan's yard, she couldn't pretend to be blind.
So she said to the women, "What are you going to do?"
Seeing that Qiao Yuange really came to save them this time, the women said, "We can't stay in the harem anymore. It's too dangerous. We don't know who they are coming for this time. We have no way of getting the emperor's protection, and we don't know many people in the harem. Now that the prince has passed away, this courtyard is empty again, and there are no soldiers guarding it..."
"The prince doesn't have any power, so we thought about leaving quickly and not getting entangled in the harem. This might save our lives and prevent us from being involved in the disputes in the harem."
Qiao Yuange felt that these women were really smart and were not greedy for the money in the harem. After all, money was not as important as life.
