After hearing the news, Gao Mu and Cangyun came to the hospital in advance.

"Miss, there are royal guards in the palace. There will definitely be a fierce battle tonight. Is this my subordinate going to send you all back?" Gao Mu suggested.

The emperor has lost all the people's support, but the royal guards in his hands are loyal dogs. It is not easy for Xiao Jingzhao to enter the palace.

Thinking that there would be a curfew in the capital tonight, Jiang Shuyue quickly ordered Qiu Ju, "Leave Yinqiao and Dingxiang to take care of the pregnant women in the hospital, and send the rest back."

The mother-in-law also had two personal maids. Yinqiao and Dingxiang were left behind to deal with emergencies.

Yinqiao and Dingxiang had delivered no fewer than ten babies with Jiang Shuyue, and they knew much more about postpartum care than other female doctors.

There is enough food in the kitchen behind the hospital to feed several people for two days.

When the carriage walked to the street, they saw people rushing on the road, and the shops on both sides of the street were closed.

Cangyun drove a carriage to send the other medical girls back, and Gao Mu drove another carriage back to his home.

After getting on the carriage, Jiang Shuyue glanced at the street and lowered the curtain.

She put her hands on her knees and shook them subconsciously.

"The young master should be very safe in the private school. People coming from the city gate are talking about it, saying that the prince has brought tens of thousands of soldiers into the city, many of whom are ordinary people."

"Yeah, got it."

Back at the house, Jiang Shuyue said to Qiu Ju, "Hurry and see if Mr. Nangong and Sui Sui have returned home."

Nangong Zeyue and Suisui didn't go through the front door when they came in or out, and the concierge didn't know if they were coming back.

Qiu Ju jumped off the carriage and walked quickly towards the hanging flower gate. Jiang Shuyue raised her head and looked at the sky.

The sun gradually went down, and the sunset dyed the clouds on the horizon red, leaving only a trace of afterglow in an instant.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

"Miss, go in first, and my subordinate will go out to find out the news later." Gao Mu seemed to understand Jiang Shuyue's anxiety and asked proactively.

"When Cangyun comes back, you two should go together. Don't get too close to avoid being accidentally injured."

When Jiang Shuyue returned to the courtyard, she saw Nangong Zeyue and Suisui sitting in the flower hall playing chess.

"You guys came back very early today."

Nangong Zeyue stopped in mid-air with the chess piece in his hand. He raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Shuyue, "I heard that he entered the city and came back immediately."

Seeing Jiang Shuyue coming back in Sui Sui, he put down the chess pieces in his hand and ran over.

She happily hugged Jiang Shuyue's legs and said, "Mom, daddy has brought troops to the capital. Can we see daddy tomorrow?"

Jiang Shuyue knelt down and stroked her son's rosy little face, and said gently: "Not tomorrow. Your father should be very busy. When he stops being busy, he will naturally come to see you."

"Mom, do you want to see daddy?"

"I, I'm busy too."

Seeing a look of discomfort flash across Jiang Shuyue's face, Nangong Zeyue knocked on the table, coughed lightly and said, "Sui Sui, are you losing this game?"

"I won't lose. Uncle, don't cheat. I will definitely win two games today."

"You guys keep playing, I'll go back to the house and change my clothes."

"Miss, someone from the Zhen family is here. The real housekeeper and Master Sun of the Zhen family are waiting to see you in the hall. They said they have something important to tell you."

As soon as Jiang Shuyue walked out of the flower hall, she saw Lan'er running in.

"Master Sun from the real family! What is he doing here?"

"My slave doesn't know either." Lan'er shook her head.

If that man hadn't come with the real butler, she wouldn't know who the man was.

Jiang Shuyue went to the hall without having time to change her clothes.

"I, Zhen Jingxiu, have taken the liberty of visiting me. Please don't blame Miss Jiang." Seeing Jiang Shuyue, Zhen Jingxiu stood up quickly, bowed his hands politely towards Jiang Shuyue, and showed an apologetic smile.

Zhen Jingxiu is dressed in a light blue cloud satin brocade, with a tall and slim figure. The scenery is bright and full of moonlight, with orchids and jade trees. His whole body exudes the elegance unique to a scholar. He has the spirit of poetry and calligraphy in his belly, which means he has such magnanimity.

There was a gentle and polite smile on his lips.

Jiang Shuyue replied with a gift, "Young master, come here at this time. What can I do, madam?"

Given Jiang Shuyue's professional habits, she really couldn't think of anything else that the Zhen family would come to see her about with something important at this time.

"It may not be peaceful tonight. Grandma is worried about your safety, so she specially sent Jing Xiu to invite the girl to come over and take shelter. The Song family's imperial power is gone, and she is afraid that he will jump over the wall and hurt innocent people."

"Thank you, Madam, for your concern. There are many servants in the house, and I can't leave you all alone." Jiang Shuyue was deeply moved, saying that a friend in need is a friend indeed, and it was commendable that the Old Madam still thought about her safety at this critical moment.

Zhen Jingxiu was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the seemingly fragile girl would be so generous and bold. At this moment of great turmoil, she was still thinking about the servants in the house.

The real housekeeper interjected: "The girl doesn't trust the people in the house. I brought some people from the real house to help take care of her."

"Thank you, true housekeeper. If the situation outside is not stable for a moment, I will stay closed. This place is still a little far away from the palace gate, so it should be safe." Jiang Shuyue refused with a smile.

She raised her head and saw that the dusk was getting darker, and said to Zhenjing: "It's getting late, young master, please go back. Please thank the old lady for thinking about her on behalf of my daughter. When the situation calms down, Shu Yue will come to visit her again."

Zhen Jingxiu had never dealt with a woman before, and he was full of knowledge but could not find the right words to say to impress Jiang Shuyue.

Seeing that Jiang Shuyue had her own ideas, the real housekeeper bowed and said, "Miss, please close the door. No matter who knocks, don't open the door. The old slave will also send someone to watch here in the study."

Jiang Shuyue personally sent Zhen Jingxiu and his servant to the gate. After saying goodbye, she told the doorman to close the gate.

Zhen Jingxiu left the Jiang Mansion, and the charming figure lingered in her mind.

I had seen her from a distance in the past, but now I know that the words praising women's beauty in the book are tailor-made for her.

"Master Zhen, send more people to watch the Jiang Mansion tonight, and don't let anyone disturb Miss Jiang." Zhen Jingxiu said and looked back at the gate of the Jiang Mansion.

"Master, don't worry, I will stay up all night to protect the Jiang Mansion."

"Master, Miss Jiang is very polite. If Madam comes to invite you, maybe it will work."

What the housekeeper Zhen said makes sense. Zhen Jingxiu looked into the distance and said lightly: "Father and mother have been traveling for more than half a year. I believe they will go home during the New Year."

Who to send to invite, Madam Zhen has other intentions. Zhen Jingxiu feels that his family is not sincere enough to send only servants.

After sending Zhen Jingxiu away, Jiang Shuyue returned to her room, changed her clothes, and went into the space to prepare some medicine powder.

"Each of you take a packet. If someone breaks into the mansion, sprinkle the powder on the other person, then hold your breath and squat down. This thing won't kill anyone. It can make the other person unconscious in a short time. Even if you accidentally inhale it, it won't be a big deal."

The atmosphere in the whole mansion was very tense, and everyone was on high alert.

Jiang Shuyue thought that if the person in the palace was forced into a corner and made a desperate bet, it would not affect here, but when Zhen Jingxiu came, she was unsure.

After explaining, she turned back to the backyard.

At this time, two figures flew in from the top of the wall as lightly as flying swallows.
