Ling Yutong was silent and lowered his eyes: "I just want to quickly investigate and find out the person behind the scenes."
The Holy Emperor glanced at her, nodded slightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back."
Father Joy Luck was busy comparing the words he picked off, and he only nodded to them and did not send them off.
Qi Yan and Ling Yutong left the palace together. Since Song Yue and Lai Che were not around, they didn't have to be so shy when talking.
Qi Yan lowered his eyes and calculated the time. If he investigated as quickly as possible, he would have the results today. He raised his eyes and winked at Ling Yutong, lowered his voice and said: "Let's take advantage of this time to go to the news site together."
, be quick.”
As soon as she heard the news, Ling Yutong became energetic instantly. She nodded, her face was extremely natural, but her pace had quietly quickened, keeping at the same frequency as Qi Yan.
The Holy One has now lifted their ban, and they deliberately chose a place where there are few palace maids to go, which can be regarded as a thorough way of avoiding the eyes of others.
Qi Yan glanced back and quickly pulled away the wall tiles, and sure enough he saw a note pressed underneath.
Ling Yutong pursed her lips, and a glimmer of hope arose in her heart. This news must be about Qi Ce. The investigation that day was ultimately fruitless. They could only hope that the news would have clear enough direction so that they could successfully find Qi Ce.
Qi Yan had no intention of taking the finger strip back and looking at it again. He quickly opened it and read the contents above.
The deep frown was his mood at the moment. Qi Yan took out a pen and new paper from his body, quickly wrote a paragraph, and then put it back under the brick.
"Walk."
Ling Yutong nodded, thinking about Qi Yan's expression just now... Could it be that something happened to the information on the note?
The two of them avoided crowded places. Just when they were approaching the palace, Qi Yan whispered: "The situation is not optimistic. The carriage traces went all the way outside the capital and were lost."
What? Outside the capital?
Ling Yutong frowned. If Qi Ce was on the carriage, wouldn't he have already left the city?
The current situation outside the capital is not peaceful for the Qi family. Moreover, he has injured his leg. What should he do if he meets an enemy and is alone outside without help?
"If you go into the hall first and wait too long, you may cause unnecessary accidents. Those around you and me are all members of the Holy One."
Qi Yan nodded lightly, Ling Yutong pursed her lips and nodded in agreement.
They have been taken away by Father Joy Luck for long enough and cannot be delayed any longer.
After entering the palace, Ling Yutong rejected Song Yue's suggestion to let her rest for a while. Lu He had already fallen asleep in pain in a corner of the palace. There was no noise, and the palace was extremely quiet.
She stood quietly in front of the window. When she opened the window, she saw the sky outside.
The clouds are so dense that all sunlight in the sky is blocked, making it look like dark sky even during the day.
There was a voice in her heart that was concerned about the missing person, and she sighed softly: "It's going to rain. Is there anyone who can hold an umbrella for you?"
Her voice was so low that Song Yue couldn't hear her clearly, but she saw the sudden rain outside the hall and hurriedly stepped forward to pull someone away.
"Miss Ling, please go into the inner room and rest quickly. It rained so heavily suddenly. Your clothes should be wet."
Ling Yutong nodded lightly and turned back, but after taking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back and glanced at the continuous rain outside.
For some reason, her heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly heavy rain fell from the sky, and the people in the city rushed to take shelter. Those who had not yet entered the city stopped entering the city. It rained so heavily, so taking shelter was of course the first priority.
The carriages and horses on their way outside the city stopped. At this time, a carriage running very fast attracted special attention.
A well-meaning merchant shouted to the carriage: "The road is slippery on a rainy day, so you have to slow down to avoid falling!"
There was no response, the horse still ran very fast.
The merchant was a little confused and shouted two more times. This time there was still no response. He was a little suspicious. Whose carriage was this? It was running wildly on a rainy day, risking its life?
Out of the idea of "doing good deeds every day and accumulating character for business", the merchant shouted at his fleet and approached the carriage alone. Just when he was about to reach out to pull the horse's reins, a sudden sound came from inside the carriage.
Suddenly there were several earth-shattering coughs.
Then a hoarse male voice sounded: "Thanks for reminding me, I will ask the horse to slow down."
The merchant was about to help after hearing this, but the next moment he heard a pulling sound. The loose reins where the horse was connected to the car suddenly collapsed. The galloping horse was suddenly restrained and could no longer run.
The carriage stopped abruptly, and the carriage swayed.
The merchant's eyes were filled with ecstasy as he saw that the man in the car could easily pull the horse running wildly to a stop with just one hand! It was so amazing!
He originally had a kind heart, but at this moment he was shocked by this hand, and he was excited to talk in his heart, and he unconsciously said: "Where is this young master from? This hand is really wonderful!"
The people in the car were quiet for a moment, then coughed quietly, and when they spoke again, it was a warm male voice.
"You are so flattering. I was just having fun for a while. I fell asleep in the car and accidentally let the horse run away with me. Thank you for your generous reminder. Thank you."
The merchant scratched his head in embarrassment at being treated so politely.
A person like him who travels all over the country will meet all kinds of people, but there is no one whom he can't see, and just hearing his voice makes him feel that he is polite and gentlemanly.
He couldn't help but say a few more words.
"It's raining heavily right now, the weather is bad, and it's hard to find a shelter from the rain outside the city. Young master is alone, and it is inevitable that he will need help. If you don't mind, why not come with our convoy and have someone to look after you on the way."
"Oh, I haven't asked yet, where is the young master going?"
The merchant waited for a long time and heard a slightly hesitant question.
"You just said, this is outside the city? Outside the capital?"
"Yes! This is Junshan Tun, and after a while we will reach the gate of Beijing! My convoy is going to Beijing..." The merchant had some doubts in his mind, but he didn't think too much and said it directly.
This time, there was silence in the car for a long time.
"Sorry, I can't go with you, but... I have some copper coins here. I wonder if I can exchange them with you for some food?"
"Okay, no problem!" The merchant smiled cheerfully, but felt a little confused in his heart.
After he got the food and handed it to the people in the car, they parted ways and stayed away from the pouring rain for the time being.
In the palace at this time, Qi Yan's left leg throbbed for a moment, and his eyebrows instantly furrowed.
Lai Che quickly brought the ointment and asked worriedly: "Master Qi, can you use some ointment? In this rainy weather, you have an injury on your leg, I'm afraid the pain will be unbearable..."
There is an injury on the leg...
Qi Yan chewed these words over and over, with a sad expression on his face.
His second brother's whereabouts are unknown and he has injuries on his legs.
