Lying in the inner room of the palace, the sound of rain pattering outside could not be heard clearly.
Ling Yutong lowered his eyes slightly, and saw Songyue sitting beside her couch, and whispered: "Go and rest, I don't need anyone to guard me here."
Song Yue shook her head: "It is my responsibility to take care of Miss Ling. I am not tired, so you can rest assured and sleep."
The person in front of me was wearing a bun, with a round face and round eyes, but her attitude was very hard and she couldn't stand it.
Ling Yutong pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and lay on the other side. It looked like she was about to fall asleep, but in fact, her mind had already flown to the sky.
The news Qi Yan received made her think a little uncontrollably.
Qi Ce's leg injury must be serious, and the blood stains she saw in the training room that day, the amount of bleeding... If he was transferred by someone in a carriage, that person's intention was to let him fend for himself between heaven and earth.
, or can’t bear to save him?
She forced herself to think carefully about everything she saw that day.
Qi Ce's fingers in his arms were as gentle and gentle as the person he was.
Her mind was overly immersed, and her eyes were stained with countless complex emotions. Qi Ce was still engaged to her, and he absolutely couldn't just disappear into her world silently!
At this time, a shallow breathing sound suddenly came to his ears. Ling Yutong paused, turned around as slightly as possible, and then saw Songyue sleeping.
She pursed her lips, but it was a pity that she didn't have medicine in her hand now, which would have allowed Songyue to sleep more thoroughly and make it easier for her to do things.
From being forbidden to walk in the palace to being followed by people everywhere she went, this change could not be said to be progress at all. She had to get some medicine quickly, and she couldn't do anything without having eyes around her.
Looking around, Ling Yutong's eyes lit up and he saw the small changes in the windows.
It’s Xiu Niang!
The master is coming to find her!
She didn't dare to make a big move anymore, just waiting for Xiu Niang's sharp mouth to poke open the window, and then quietly, a very thin bamboo pipe came in.
She immediately flashed her eyes and held her breath with a smile.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
She watched helplessly as Lu He, who was in unbearable pain in his sleep, loosened his brows, and Song Yue beside her suddenly fell down on the couch, sleeping deeply that was visible to the naked eye.
The next moment, the window was opened neatly, revealing Ruan Fu's face.
Those bright starry eyes smiled as soon as they saw Ling Yutong, and praised: "You are quite smart, you know how to hold your breath."
Ling Yutong lowered her eyes and smiled softly, her mood relaxed a lot because of his tone. She quickly ran to Ruan Fu and whispered: "It's raining heavily outside, come in and talk."
Ruan Fulisuo turned over and walked in. Behind him was Qi Yan, who had a silent expression on his face.
The three of them gathered in the hall. Ling Yutong closed the window and looked back to see Ruan Fu taking out a note.
"The carriage has left the city."
After Ruan Fu finished speaking, he didn't see any expressions of curiosity on the faces of the two of them. So, he paused for a moment, looked at this and that, and said suddenly: "Isn't it right? You know?"
His slightly widened eyes and attitude made Ling Yutong embarrassed to tell lies, so she nodded.
Ruan Fu touched his chin and glanced at them. He didn't express much opinion on this matter. He just said: "Then let me tell you something you must not know."
"After the carriage left the palace, it disappeared for a while. However, just today, the latest information shows that the carriage was sold in a market outside the capital where transactions are often conducted."
"The carriage has been secretly taken over by my people. If you send people to check it, I can transfer it to you. Maybe there will be information left by people who have ridden in that carriage."
"Besides, there is another person I think you should pay attention to."
Ruan Fu's expression was confused for a moment, but he soon returned to normal. "The Minister of Punishment, Yan Lishen. He was over there in the training room on the night we went to investigate."
Ling Yutong's expression changed. She understood Ruan Fu's meaning almost instantly, and blurted out: "But that day we searched key training rooms one by one. There was no way we had not seen him when we were avoiding people."
"Unless he takes one step ahead of us, goes to the training room where we have been, and takes Brother Ce away!"
Ruan Fu nodded silently.
Then Qi Yan's expression changed slightly.
He said in a deep voice: "Yan Lishen, the Minister of Punishment, has always been the most upright person in the court. He can break away from anyone in his hands, no matter how tough they are."
Qi Yan's words were obviously without emotion, but Ling Yutong broke into a cold sweat.
She instantly thought of the blood she had seen that day. Suddenly, her whole body felt a little bad, and her eyes were filled with deep panic.
But Qi Yan's voice continued.
"And Yan Lishen has no unnecessary involvement with our family."
"His meddling seems so inappropriate."
The hall suddenly fell silent. Ling Yutong took a deep breath and clenched his fists: "Then, let's go to the carriage quickly to find the news, okay?"
She turned her head to look at Qi Yan, the deep uneasiness in her eyes that she couldn't pretend to be.
Qi Yan looked at her, nodded, and then said to Ruan Fu, "Excuse me."
Ruan Fu waved his hand: "These are all small things, I don't need you to say thank you." His interested eyes stopped on Ling Yutong's face, and he clearly told Qi Yan that if it weren't for Ling Yutong, he would not have done anything like this.
matter.
Ling Yutong pursed her lips: "I have an unkind favor."
"you say."
"Doctor Ruan, do you have any extra powdered medicine? Or the leftover medicine residue is fine. I want to... make something."
Ruan Fu's face was filled with surprise.
"You actually know how to make medicine? Have you ever learned it?"
I’ve learned it, but I can’t say it, I can’t talk about it.
Ling Yutong raised her eyes and glanced at Ruan Fu without saying a word.
Ruan Fu didn't ask any more questions. He touched his chin and agreed to her. "As for the complete medicinal powder, I can make it as needed. There isn't much left, but I have plenty of medicinal dregs."
"The Queen's favorite cat has been sick these past two days. I have many things here, and there are some new things. I will give them to you in a moment."
Ling Yutong was shocked: "Okay!"
…
Prime Minister's Mansion.
Yu Xiang returned home in a hurry, his face gloomy and terrifying.
The first thing he did when he returned home was to yell loudly: "Where is that scoundrel? Tell him to get over here!"
The servants were trembling with fear and rushed to call for help. But before he could make a move, a figure appeared a few meters away.
Yu Nan Xun's etiquette was thorough and looked innocent.
"Father, are you calling me? May I ask what's going on? Why is my father so unhappy? This will make my son worried."
With the false mask on his face, Yu Nanxun showed no flaws.
