Mrs. Qi closed her eyes, her tone of voice unable to conceal her bitterness.
"After Yutong left the house, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in and surrounded us. Ce'er was afraid that the officers and soldiers would be unfavorable to us, so he had a dispute with them and had one of his legs broken."
Ling Yutong was shocked: "What!"
Qi Yan's hands clenched instantly, and blood filled his eyes.
Mrs. Qi's eyes flashed with cruelty, and she said in a low voice: "Ze Kai also came back at that time. The leader was afraid that Ce'er and Ze Kai would join forces, so he took Ze Kai away by force. Ce'er... seemed to be taken away
In a different direction."
"How could this be so?" Ling Yutong frowned deeply, she murmured, and kept searching for memories. She clenched her palms suddenly, Ministry of Punishment! She had never seen Qi Ce since the turmoil in her previous life, and she learned about it too late.
When I went to look for Qi Ce, he had already been transferred from the Criminal Department and there was no news about him.
"Grandma, did you see the person who took the second brother away? Did that person have a badge or anything that could identify him?"
Maybe in this life, Qi Ce was still taken to the Ministry of Punishment?
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Qi fell into thinking. She was anxious and kept staring at her grandmother. It was good to have her eyes wrong. Naturally, she didn't see Qi Yan glance at her with unclear eyes.
"Yes! It's a round gold medal with words engraved on it. I remember half of the words in the lower right corner..." Mrs. Qi hurriedly pulled out the hairpin on her head and carved it in the air.
Ling Yutong was identifying it, but before he could think of the right word, Qi Yan beside him said coldly: "It's the Ministry of Punishment."
Mrs. Qi's face turned pale. The attitude of the leader taking Ce'er as a child was definitely not businesslike. If there was a personal grudge, Ce'er...
Qi Yan's tone was extremely cold: "What grandma just described, there is no other possibility except the word 'punishment'. But there are too many training rooms in the Punishment Department, so I will send a message to people to inquire about it."
Mrs. Qi felt relieved and looked at Ling Yutong: "Tell Ayan about your plan again."
Ling Yutong repeated it in a low voice, and Qi Yan stared slightly: "If we talk about the most likely place for the Holy Emperor to go... Ruianyuan."
"It's hot in the summer, and the ice room there is amazing. It has always been the first choice of the Holy Emperor in previous years."
"Okay, let's leave without further delay." Ling Yutong stood up.
Qi Yan took out a whistle from his arms, leaned over and handed it to Mrs. Qi with a salute. "Grandma, take this, I will leave a team of elites nearby. If there is a critical moment, they can protect you."
.”
Mrs. Qi sighed and took it, looked at the two people in front of her and said seriously: "Grandma has a saying, no matter when and what situation you are in, you must remember that your own safety is the first priority. In front of the Holy Lord, Ayan can
Show your true feelings more."
Qi Yan was prompted by his grandmother, and he understood after a moment's thought. He and Ling Yutong nodded silently, leaned down at the same time, and performed the most upright etiquette.
Until they left the house, Mrs. Qi was still lying on the bed unconscious. Ling Yutong explained in a low voice: "Mother, she was mentally unstable and took a tranquilizer to have a peaceful sleep."
Qi Yan said nothing, but took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and placed it in front of Mrs. Qi's bed.
There was not much time left for them, so the two quickly changed their clothes and set off. On the way, Qi Yan received news that the number of guards in Ruianyuan had doubled. The two looked at each other. With so many guards, there are more possibilities for the Holy Lord to be here.
How many percent.
When they actually arrived at the place, Ling Yutong frowned: "That's the guard's belt, they..."
Before she finished speaking, Qi Yan suddenly covered her mouth.
When the warm palm came up, Ling Yutong was stunned for a moment, but when she saw the guard's wolf-like eyes looking straight at her, cold sweat broke out on her back.
She was so stiff that she didn't dare to move. Qi Yan approached very quickly, raised his hand to wrap his arms around her waist, and swiftly took her away from where he was.
The next moment, an arrow flew over.
Ling Yutong opened her eyes in fear. If Qi Yan hadn't taken her away just now, she would have been hit by the arrow now.
However, the guard looked over suspiciously, then raised his feet and walked this way.
Ling Yutong's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his body became extremely stiff.
"Hold your breath and don't look at him."
A very low breath sounded beside her, and she turned her face away nervously, doing as Qi Yan said. The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the arrows that were so close brought back memories that frightened her.
She tried her best to control the urge to breathe quickly, tightly grasped Qi Yan's sleeves, and forced herself to focus all her attention on... Qi Yan.
In order to be inconspicuous, both Qi Yan and her wore dark blue robes. They were so close that she could even count the dark lines clearly. The tension of holding her breath was more uncomfortable than suffocation, and her hanging heart could not stop
fall.
She saw Qi Yan's Adam's apple sliding slightly.
There is already some hypoxia.
The guard glanced sharply around, drew his arrow, and turned around, as if he believed there was no one here.
Ling Yutong could slightly detect the movement. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she met Qi Yan's eyes. He lowered his head silently and signaled with his eyes: No, hold on a little longer.
She closed her eyes and frowned tightly.
At this time, the guard also retracted his gaze that suddenly turned back, and walked back naturally to check that nothing happened.
Because it was unbearable to hold her breath, Ling Yutong almost buried herself in Qi Yan's arms. Qi Yan lowered his eyes uncomfortably and patted her twice to signal that the crisis was over.
Ling Yutong slowly recovered her breathing, and it took a long time before she dared to let go of his sleeves, her eyes deliberately avoiding the position where she was standing just now.
Qi Yan casually glanced at her wrinkled sleeves, his lowered eyes filled with thoughts.
Her reaction was not normal, like... she had a psychological shadow on the arrow.
The two calmed down quietly, and Ling Yutong observed. She found that a team of ice delivery people came at the hottest time of noon. Judging from their gestures, there should be another one later.
Chance!
The two of them looked at each other and waited for the ice-delivery person to come out and leave, then followed behind them.
After some distance away from the other courtyard, Qi Yan stepped forward steadily and knocked out two people of similar stature with his hand knives. There was still one leader left. He turned around in fear. Before he could scream, he
Qi Yan blocked his mouth.
Qi Yan's eyes were as sharp as a knife: "Cooperate with us, I won't take your life."
The leader nodded tremblingly.
When the ice was delivered later, Qi Yan lowered his straw hat and stared at the leader with shining eyes. Fortunately, the leader was already familiar with the guards and was let in after a brief inspection.
As soon as he entered, Qi Yan said coldly: "The rest is none of your business, just go and do your own business."
The leader nodded quickly and pushed the ice cart away.
Ling Yutong's eyes flashed: "Do you know which room the Lord will stay in?"
Qi Yan nodded slightly: "Follow me."
He walked so fast that Ling Yutong had to concentrate to avoid being left behind. Within a moment, they were standing in front of a room, and they could feel the slightest chill just outside the door.
Their movements attracted the imperial guards to dispatch. Qi Yan and Ling Yutong looked at each other and knelt down without any hesitation.
"The Holy Spirit is a clear guide, the Qi family travels four times/Ling Yutong of the Qi family has a grievance to complain about, so he kneels down to beg for mercy."
The door suddenly opened silently, and the Holy Master let out a long sigh: "Retreat the guards and let them in."
