"The princess, the wind is rising." Madam Cheng came in and reported to Ji Xiaotang softly.

"What time is it going to be updated?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"It's the third update soon."

Ji Xiaotang sat up from the kang.

"Go and tell Concubine Song." Ji Xiaotang ordered.

Soon, Song Xinyue was brought in. Song Xinyue was dressed neatly, and there was no sleepiness on her face.

Ji Xiaotang knew that Song Xinyue was also prepared.

"Princess..." Song Xinyue saluted Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang reached out and helped Song Xinyue up.

"You should know a rough idea about what happened, so I won't say much. I will give you an errand, and you must do it anyway."

"Please give orders to the princess."

"I will hand over Ying'er and Qijin to you, and you must take good care of them no matter what."

"Princess?" Song Xinyue looked up in surprise.

"What?" Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"As for orders." Song Xinyue immediately put away his surprised expression, "As long as Xinyue has a breath, it will not hurt the two little princesses a little."

"Okay." Ji Xiaotang nodded with satisfaction, then woke Qin Ying up.

In fact, she didn't need to shout, Qin Ying had already woken up. Unlike Xuan'er, Qijin, two little kids, Qin Ying had already realized that something was going to happen at home. Ji Xiaotang talked to someone and she woke up.

Now, Ji Xiaotang wants Song Xinyue to take her and Qijin away.

Qin Ying didn't want to.

"Mother, I will accompany Mother."

Qin Ying was sincere. He couldn't bear to part with Ji Xiaotang. As the eldest daughter in the family, he wanted to share the burden with Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang felt soft in his heart and gently patted Qin Ying on the shoulder.

"Ying'er is obedient. Follow Concubine Song and take good care of Qijin for her mother."

"Mother, I can take care of Qijin, and I can take care of Xuan'er. Mother, why not. Why don't we go to the grandfather's house?" Qin Ying was still thinking at this time and gave Ji Xiaotang some advice.

The maternal family she mentioned now is of course not Xinhua Hall, but Weiwu Hou Mansion.

The Weiwu Hou Mansion is indeed the safest place now.

Ji Xiaotang smiled.

"Don't worry, Mother and Xuan'er will not have any trouble. But... Mother is worried that you can't take care of you three. You are the eldest sister, so I'll share the worries for Mother's mother. Is it okay to take care of Qijin?"

When Ji Xiaotang said this, Qin Ying thought about it and nodded.

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely take good care of Qijin's sister." Qin Ying assured Ji Xiaotang.

"Mother's wife believes in you." Ji Xiaotang asked someone to take Qin Ying and Qijin's clothes.

Song Xinyue personally carried Qijin and bowed to Ji Xiaotang with Qin Ying, and was about to quit.

Qijin slept very well, but he didn't wake up even when he arrived in Song Xinyue's arms.

"When will the mother come to pick me up Qijin?" Before leaving the door, Qin Ying asked Ji Xiaotang reluctantly.

Ji Xiaotang thought for a while: "Before noon tomorrow."

No matter what happens to be around, the dust will settle tomorrow at noon. At that time, if she is alive, she will naturally come to pick up Qin Ying and Qijin in person.

If she didn't live that time, the family would still meet before noon.

He properly killed Qin Ying and his group. Ji Xiaotang ordered Madam Cheng: "Madam, please help me change my clothes."

When Ji Xiaotang changed her clothes, she heard something outside. Ji Xiaotang ignored it and just went to the kang to hug Xuan'er.

Xuan'er was half asleep and half awake. She didn't want to open her eyes. Ji Xiaotang was carried into her arms. When the little guy smelled his mother's familiar breath, he hummed in a coquettish voice, arched his head into Ji Xiaotang's arms, and fell asleep again.

Ji Xiaotang felt soft in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed Xuan'er's head.

Suddenly, there was a bang, and then a cold wind came in.

It turned out that a window was blown open by the wind.

In late autumn, the wind at night is already quite chilly.

Ji Xiaotang wrapped the blanket on Xuan'er tightly, and Madam Cheng immediately went out to close the window. But before Madam Cheng could reach the door, the window closed itself.

As the windows closed, the yard suddenly lit up.

"The Duke of Zhenguo asked to see the princess." A rough voice shouted in the yard, and then footsteps came down the steps.

"Madam..." Ji Xiaotang signaled to Madam Cheng.

Madam Cheng walked to the door, opened the door a little and looked out, then closed the door again, turned around and reported to Ji Xiaotang: "...it's Duke Zhenguo."

Ji Xiaotang's heartbeat was a little fast. She took a deep breath to calm her heartbeat down. Then she nodded: "What's wrong with Duke Zhen's visit late at night?"

Madam Cheng passed the message out.

This time, what he answered was not the rough voice just now, but Qi Younian himself.

"According to the order of the Queen Mother, please invite the princess and the young prince to come to the palace to talk."

"Is there a handwritten order from the Queen Mother?" Ji Xiaotang asked again.

Under the steps, Qi Younian took out the handwriting from his sleeve and walked up the steps to the door of the house himself.

Madam Cheng opened the door, took the handwriting, turned around and returned to the house, and gave the handwriting to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang looked down and saw that it was indeed written by Empress Dowager Han. Not only did Empress Dowager Han’s phoenix seal, but also a jade seal.

"Hey..." Ji Xiaotang sighed softly. At this time, Empress Dowager Han came to call Qi Younian and summon her and Xuan'er into the palace. There was only one explanation.

Emperor Longqing passed away.

But the bell in the palace did not ring.

Empress Dowager Han planned to remain secret and take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and pave the way for her to continue her autocracy.

"The Empress Dowager is waiting for the Princess and the Young Prince in the palace, and ask the Princess and the Young Prince to set off immediately." Qi Younian stood at the door and said again.

Ji Xiaotang didn't say anything.

"Xiaotang, can I come in and speak?" Qi Younian's voice lowered a little, and was no longer as cold as before.

"Please come in and talk to Mrs. Cheng." Ji Xiaotang ordered Madam Cheng.

Madam Cheng opened the door and welcomed Qi Younian in.

Qi Younian was wearing military uniform and distinctive armor. Seeing Ji Xiaotang wearing plain clothes and neatly dressed, Qi Younian did not have any unexpected expressions.

"Xiaotang..." Qi Younian walked to Ji Xiaotang and deliberately lowered his voice. He saw Xuan'er still asleep in Ji Xiaotang's arms, obviously not wanting to shock Xuan'er.

"Ayou, Xuan'er and I can follow you, but you can't hurt the rest of the royal palace." Ji Xiaotang looked at Qi Younian.

"Okay." Ji Xiaotang nodded immediately, almost without thinking. "Xiaotang, you speak, I have nothing to do with it. Moreover, you also know that I am not the kind of person who commits murder in vain."

Ji Xiaotang stood up.

Qi Younian instinctively stretched out his arm, as if to support Ji Xiaotang. However, his hand stopped without touching Ji Xiaotang. Qi Younian lowered his eyelids slightly and turned sideways to give way to the side. This was what he meant to let Ji Xiaotang go first.

Ji Xiaotang nodded slightly and walked slowly to the door.

The yard was already illuminated by lanterns and torches like daylight. Ji Xiaotang could clearly see that the yard was full of people.

The guards of the royal palace were confronting Qi Younian's Imperial City Army sword, and the sword was tense.
