She got up and walked to the window, pushed it open, and looked down. The street was empty except for the searching soldiers.
Du Bingxue whispered, "Now they are searching inside and outside the city, and there are soldiers in every street and alley."
Shen Qinglan closed the window and asked Du Bingxue, "Can we get any news from the palace?"
Du Bingxue shook her head, "There's no way!"
Shen Qinglan thought for a moment, then whispered, "Let's go back to the previous courtyard."
"The previous courtyard?" Du Bingxue was confused.
Shen Qinglan said, "Fu Junyan's courtyard."
"Can we go back?" Du Bingxue frowned, "There are soldiers outside..."
"It shouldn't be a problem," Shen Qinglan said, "We haven't done anything; they can't arrest us."
Du Bingxue nodded, "Alright then!"
The two of them opened the door and went downstairs. The shopkeeper was still serving other customers, so he didn't notice them at the staircase.
