Tang Ning turned around and smiled: "Aru, why are you here?"
"I heard from Hua Wu that my sister didn't eat anything at noon. The kitchen made some meat porridge and a few light side dishes. My sister will use some."
Xue Ru put the thing in her hand in front of Tang Ning.
Tang Ning glanced at it and looked away: "I have no appetite."
Xue Ru looked at Tang Ning with worry, walked to her and sat down next to her, whispering: "I know sister is worried about the governor, but she has to eat."
"There has been no movement in the palace these past few days. His Majesty had a headache and even went to court early in the morning. The Lu family and other aristocratic families also have Mr. Wu, Cao Gong, and Qian Shangshu paying attention. There has been nothing unusual. Sister, please don't go too far. worry."
Tang Ning pursed her lips when she heard this, not so optimistic in her heart.
There has been no news from the northwest. It stands to reason that if my brother cannot return to Beijing, he should send her a letter, but he has not said a word for such a long time.
Nowadays, the capital seems to be stable, but she knows that it is just peace under a forced cover-up. Emperor An will not be able to stay away from the court due to a headache, and Lu Chongyuan will not sit still and wait for his brother to return to the capital.
Now everyone thought that Xiao Yan had gone to Shezhou. Even Cao Dejiang, Qian Baokun, and even Feng's servant thought that she had sent a letter to Xiao Yan. They all thought that she was just trying her best to delay it for three, five, or six days. Yes, Xiao Yan can rush back to the capital.
But only Tang Ning knew that she couldn't contact Xiao Yan at all, and she had no idea whether he could make it back.
Tang Ning lowered her eyes and couldn't help showing some anxiety.
What Cao Dejiang and the others could think of, Lu Chongyuan could definitely think of, and he would not let them delay too much time.
Now that three days have passed, Lu Chongyuan will definitely think of other ways after he is sure that he will not see Emperor An...
"Sister." Xue Ru asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
Tang Ning sighed softly: "I'm a little uneasy, I always feel that something will happen tonight."
She had been a little uneasy since the early days, and the strange silence in the Lu family made her even more uneasy.
Tang Ning looked at Xue Ru: "Go back first and ask Aunt and Uncle Gu to be careful. They will stay here temporarily in Tang Mansion for the next few days. Instruct Hang Li to send people to guard the mansion and don't let others take advantage of the loopholes. , you should not go to the academy for the time being these days."
Xue Ru nodded: "I have already asked for leave from my husband and the others, saying that my sister is not feeling well. I want to stay at the house to take care of you. I will not go there these days."
Tang Ning looked slightly relieved when he heard this.
Xue Ru wanted to reassure her and talked about the academy: "The results of the academy's quiz will be out tomorrow. I heard from Mr. Tong and the others that everyone did well in the exam this time."
Tang Ning said: "When it comes to being divided into classes for the first time, naturally you have to do your best."
Xue Ru held her chin: "My sister must have done well in the exam, but I don't know how I did. I hope it's not too bad, otherwise I will embarrass my sister."
Tang Ning chuckled when he heard this, and reached out to touch her head. Just when he was about to speak, there was a sudden noise outside, and the curtain hanging in front of the door was lifted for a moment.
Yue Jian walked in in a hurry and said urgently before Tang Ning could ask.
"Girl, it's not good, there's something wrong with the palace."
Tang Ning stood up with a swoosh: "What's going on?"
Yue Jian said: "I don't know much about this. I only heard that a fire broke out suddenly at Fengxi Palace, and the fire spread to several surrounding palaces."
"When people were putting out the fire in the palace, who knew that assassins had sneaked in and almost injured His Majesty. The Imperial Army had already surrounded the entire palace, and Canglang was also ordered to bring the black-armored guards to escort him."
At this time, if the black-armored guards sit back and watch the chaos in the palace without taking any action, they will cause serious trouble.
As soon as Yue Jian finished speaking, someone walked in quickly from outside, but it was Tian Qing with an extremely ugly face.
"Girl, something happened at the academy. A thief sneaked into the library and tried to steal books. Mr. Tong and the others were injured. There were also thieves in several dignitaries' mansions in the city."
"I heard that those people fought with the night patrolmen and saw blood. The people from Waijianjing patrol camp were arresting people everywhere. It was very noisy and chaotic, and there was the sound of horse hooves everywhere."
Tang Ning frowned and thought of the Lu family almost instantly.
If something happened in the palace, it was impossible for the black-armored guards not to be dispatched, otherwise Emperor An would be furious if someone took the blame. However, as soon as the black-armored guards left and transferred Canglang, not many people were left in Jiuyun Alley.
Most of the owl guards are hiding in the dark, and there are only about ten people left in the mansion. There is a lot of noise everywhere now. If someone comes to break into the Xiao family...
Are the Lu family crazy? In order to expose brother, they dare to cause trouble in the capital and even burn the palace? !
"Let everyone guard the door of the mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the Hexi Hall..."
boom!
But there was the sound of the courtyard door being knocked open. Tang Ning was startled and glanced at Tian Qing.
Tian Qing quickly walked to the side of Shaman, took off her clothes, took something and smeared it on her face, while Tang Ning led Yue Jian and the others outside to the Hexi Hall.
When she got to the outside room, she saw in front of the wide courtyard, the owl guards in the courtyard were holding swords against the people standing opposite, and there were more than ten people on the opposite side guarding Yue Fengcheng in front.
Tang Ning's face darkened when she saw Yue Fengcheng: "Mr. Yue, what do you want to do?"
Yue Fengcheng raised his head and looked at her: "I didn't expect Princess Xiangning to still be here with the Governor at such a late hour."
Tang Ning frowned: "Brother's injury has not healed yet, I came over to see him."
Yue Fengcheng held the folding fan in his hand and said: "The princess and the governor are naturally close to each other as brothers and sisters. However, there was a sudden commotion outside tonight. There was trouble in the palace, and thieves were also involved in many dignitaries' mansions in the capital."
"The Governor used to have a lot of enemies in the capital, and he made countless enemies in order to carry out errands for His Majesty. In the past, some night gangsters came into the house with the intention of assassinating the Governor. There is so much chaos outside tonight, and there might be thieves sneaking in, so I brought people here. I want to protect the Overlord.”
Tang Ning stood in front of the Hexi Hall: "Don't bother Mr. Yue. There are always people guarding inside and outside the Hexi Hall. I also accompanied my brother and I didn't see any thieves. Although there are many young people in Beijing, they dare to break into the governor." There are not many people in the government, so Mr. Yue doesn’t need to worry."
Yue Fengcheng's eyes flashed slightly: "That's good, but I may not have seen the governor for a long time, and I just have some matters outside that I need to discuss with the governor."
Tang Ning looked calm: "Brother just took the medicine and has stopped."
"It's so noisy outside, how can the governor sleep?"
Yue Fengcheng held a folding fan and looked at the girl not far away: "Princess, I know you are concerned about the governor's injury, but you don't know about officialdom matters."
"There was an incident in the palace tonight, and His Majesty was injured. Once the Overlord is held accountable, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape the blame. I must go to see the Overlord immediately to discuss countermeasures with him."
He raised his feet and wanted to walk towards Hexi Hall, but before he could get close, the owl guard in front of the door instantly pressed his sword in front of him.
"Princess?" Yue Fengcheng's face sank: "What do you mean?"
