At this moment, the concierge suddenly stumbled into the yard, shouting from a distance: "Oh no, oh no, the soldiers are coming... Madam. It's bad..."
Ren Yaoqi was shocked and signaled Xier to go out and see what happened.
Xier hurried out and asked the concierge a few words before returning with a look of anxiety on her face: "Madam, Fifth Miss. Soldiers have surrounded our house."
Li had also stopped crying at this moment: "What soldiers? How could there be soldiers?"
"The gatekeeper said that a lot of soldiers came outside and surrounded the house. They said no one was allowed to enter or leave." Xier replied.
Nanny Zhou asked Ren Yaoqi, "Could this be related to His Royal Highness Prince Xian's departure from Yanbei?"
Ren Yaoqi looked outside and listened for a while: "The soldiers didn't come in? They're just guarding outside?"
Xier volunteered, "I'll go out and take a look."
Ren Yaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Take Apple with you."
Upon hearing this, Xier hurried out to look for apples.
Master Ren San was on vacation today. When he heard the noise, he came out of his study: "I heard something happened outside?" Master Ren San frowned tightly. He was just a scholar and had never encountered such a situation.
"They said the yard was surrounded by soldiers and no one was allowed to enter or leave." Nanny Zhou explained briefly.
Xi'er returned soon. Just as Nanny Zhou was about to ask her what was going on, Xi'er said to Ren Yaoqi, "Fifth Miss, the princess's maid is outside and wants to see you."
Master Ren San and Madam Li both looked at Ren Yaoqi, who smiled and comforted them, "Since the princess's maid was able to come in, it means the people outside are from the Yanbei Palace. And those officers and soldiers didn't come in, so they probably don't have any bad intentions. I'll go out and take a look."
Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Master Ren San did not forget to instruct, "Just talk in the courtyard. Bring a few maids with you. Don't leave the courtyard."
Ren Yaoqi agreed and walked out, and at a glance he saw Pingguo standing in the courtyard with Hongying.
However, when Ren Yaoqi approached, she found that it was not Hongying who came, but Nanxing who was beside Xiao Jingxi. Xier had only seen Hongying and mistook them for each other.
Nan Xing saw Ren Yaoqi and bowed crisply: "Your servant Nan Xing greets Miss Ren Wu."
Ren Yaoqi supported her elbow and asked, "What happened outside?"
Nan Xing said succinctly, "Eunuch Lu has come to Yunyang City."
Ren Yaoqi frowned: "Is it about Prince Xian leaving Yunyang City?"
Nanxing nodded. "Yes, Eunuch Lu is here because of the matter of Prince Xian. He said he was here to ask for accountability on behalf of the court, and he also brought a team of Ningxia soldiers into the city. Because he had the emperor's jade card that said 'I am here in person', it was difficult for the prince to stop him outside the city. Eunuch Lu said he would arrest you and your mother to threaten Prince Xian, but was rejected by the prince. The prince was worried that he would act arbitrarily with the emperor's jade card, so he sent Mu Hu to guard. Miss Fifth, please rest assured that the people outside are the prince's confidants and personal soldiers. Now that the prince and the princess cannot come, the prince sent this servant here. This servant will also be here to guard for the next few days. The prince asked this servant to obey your orders in everything."
"Then what about my third sister..." There is another person who has a blood relationship with Prince Xian's Mansion, Ren Yaohua.
