Liang Yi shook his head and sighed: "No trace of anyone else was found."
When the three of them were frowning, Liang Caicai's door was opened, and the maid came out to report: "The lady is awake."
Ye Sili hurriedly entered the room and saw Liang Caicai lying flat on the bed, her eyes were blank and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Cai..." Ye Sili stopped talking and signaled the maid to go out, then quietly walked to the bed and sat down, stretched out her hand to hold Liang Caicai's trembling hand, and said softly:
"If you want to cry, just cry."
The person lying on the bed didn't react at all, and just looked at the top of the bed absently.
Ye Sili touched her hand like this and stayed with her.
Although Liang Caicai was usually annoying, seeing her like this now made Ye Sili feel uncomfortable.
Ye Sili's cold had not recovered yet, so he sent Huan Xia back to his mansion. There was no one to take care of her at this time, so Gu Liyou did not allow her to stay up late with him, and finally persuaded Ye Sili to return to Yugong's mansion in Xushi.
Back at Yugong's Mansion, Ye Sili saw Huanxia and Yuanmu standing outside Yusheng Courtyard, waiting for her.
Seeing Ye Sili and Gu Liyou returning home, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.
"Yuanmu, why are you here? Where is Jiufeng?" Ye Sili looked around.
"Back to the princess, my young master... he and the fifth princess... they..." Yuanmu hesitated in reply, trying to use words to cover up Mu Jiufeng.
When Gu Liyou heard that something happened to the two of them, he immediately asked, "What happened to them?"
"Yesterday...they..."
Finally, Huan Xia on the side couldn't stand listening anymore and replied:
"Yesterday the fifth princess sneaked out of the palace to find Master Jiu Feng. The two of them accidentally slipped and fell while they were out playing. Master Jiu Feng and the fifth princess were injured. They are in the hospital at this time."
"Injured?" Ye Sili was startled. Before Huan Xia could answer, he saw Mu Jiufeng limping out.
Seeing that Ye Sili and Gu Liyou were back, Mu Jiufeng was as happy as if he had met his relatives. Regardless of the injuries on his legs, he rushed towards the two people with open arms.
Gu Liyou took a step forward to protect Ye Sili behind him, and stretched out his hand to stop Mu Jiufeng with a look of disgust.
"Liyou, isn't it worth celebrating that I survived the catastrophe?" Mu Jiufeng stared at Gu Liyou resentfully.
Gu Liyou pushed Mu Jiufeng away and looked him up and down. His eyes fell on Mu Jiufeng's injured right foot and he mocked unceremoniously:
"Is this what you call surviving the catastrophe?"
"... Just think of it as my honor as a hero to save the beauty." Mu Jiufeng let out a long sigh, stretched out his hands to pull Gu Liyou and Ye Sili into the guest room of Yusheng Courtyard.
Xiao Ling was half lying on the bed, gritting her teeth and staring at Mu Jiufeng who entered the room. Seeing that Ye Sili had also come back, she immediately cried to Ye Sili:
"Sili, Liyou, you are finally back."
As soon as he spoke, Xiao Ling's eyes immediately became moist.
Ye Sili noticed that Xiao Ling's left foot was exposed outside the quilt. Maybe it was because he had just applied medicine. Ye Sili stepped forward and rolled up Xiao Ling's trouser leg to take a look. The ankle was red and swollen, "Speak slowly, what happened?"
What happened?"
"Mu Jiufeng bullied me...ah!" Xiao Ling suddenly shrank his feet and tears instantly fell from his eyes.
"???"
"???"
Ye Sili and Gu Liyou both turned to stare at Mu Jiufeng who was sitting on the chair.
"Mu Jiufeng, what did you do to her?" Gu Liyou asked in shock.
Hearing this, Mu Jiufeng suddenly jumped into the air and jumped into the Yellow River to wash away his grievances. He waved his hands in panic.
"No...I didn't...don't listen to her nonsense."
Ye Sili naturally made the decision for Xiao Ling and said: "Look at how Xiao Ling is crying. Please explain clearly."
Seeing the doubtful expressions on Ye Sili and Gu Liyou's faces, Mu Jiufeng was so anxious that he limped to Xiao Ling's bed and said, "They don't believe me, please explain to them quickly."
Ye Sili stepped forward to block Xiao Ling.
"You stay away from Xiaoling, don't scare her."
"???" Mu Jiufeng looked at Gu Liyou with an innocent look on his face, but Gu Liyou looked away with gloating.
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoling. If Jiufeng bullies you, Ayou and I will definitely seek an explanation for you."
Xiao Ling's tears fell from her eyes and she sobbed:
"Sili...you just...pressed my foot...it hurts..."
"...Huh?" Ye Sili looked down at Xiao Ling's injured left foot and quickly raised her hand.
Ye Sili realized later and said, "So you were crying because of pain?"
"Otherwise." Mu Jiufeng stood aside and said angrily, "I am an upright man, but you don't even have the most basic trust in me."
Ye Sili smiled awkwardly, stood up and walked to Mu Jiufeng to apologize: "How could we not believe you? The misunderstanding just now was entirely my fault... The cold has not healed, my mind is not clear, oh my, I have a headache."
As he spoke, Ye Sili started to act while rubbing his head, not forgetting to look at Mu Jiufeng to see if he had calmed down.
"That's all, how can I be such a stingy person?" Mu Jiufeng reached out and put down the sail that Ye Sili raised, "Just don't misunderstand me."
"What happened?" Gu Liyou stepped forward and returned to preaching.
Mu Jiufeng felt very angry when he recalled what happened yesterday.
"I've been staying at the house during this period. Finally yesterday, my two elders went out for a walk, so I slipped out and happened to meet Xiao Ling who had slipped out of the palace."
"In order to avoid the spies from both our families, we unanimously decided to go to the mountains to play."
"It happened that we met Prince Yu when we went to Tianyao Mountain, so I played a few games of chess with him and accidentally forgot the time."
Gu Liyou regretted it and said:
"Considering Xiao Ling's identity, we couldn't stay overnight outside, so we went down the mountain overnight."
"Who knows, it rained heavily last night."
Gu Liyou became excited as he spoke.
"What season is it now? The twelfth lunar month! I actually experienced a violent storm in the twelfth lunar month!"
"We were trapped halfway up the mountain and had to find a cave to hide from the rain."
"Who would have thought that we would accidentally stumble into a murder and robbery operation."
Mu Jiufeng was very speechless and said: "It seems that the two elders in the family are right. It is really not appropriate for me to leave the house these days."
Is it possible to encounter such things as murder and robbery?
Ye Sili asked in surprise: "You were almost silenced?"
Mu Jiufeng said "cut" disdainfully, "Of course I will beat the shit out of them."
"..." Ye Sili lowered her head to look at Mu Jiufeng's feet, then turned to look at Xiao Ling's appearance. Why didn't she believe it?
Xiao Ling's pain eased a lot, she wiped away her tears and said:
"I just know how to brag."
"There were about seven or eight people on the other side, all masked and dressed in black. Jiu Feng originally had the upper hand, but in the end, in order to protect me, we both accidentally fell into the cave and sprained our feet."
Hearing this, Gu Liyou grasped the key point and asked, "Do you know the person they killed?"
Xiao Ling shook his head and said helplessly: "We didn't see each other at all, but we met on a narrow road in the middle of the night and bumped head-on..."
"Fortunately, they didn't scare you to death." Ye Sili said fearfully.
No, where did they go? Tianyao Mountain? Last night? Halfway up the mountain? Men in black? Assassination?
"Have you seen Mr. Liang?"
"Have you seen Mr. Liang?"
Ye Sili and Gu Liyou asked at the same time.
"Which Master Liang?" Xiao Ling looked at them doubtfully.
"Liang Hai, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment." Gu Liyou replied.
"I haven't seen you, but he also went to Tianyao Mountain?"
Gu Liyou nodded. Seeing that Mu Jiufeng and Xiao Ling's reactions suggested that they still didn't know what was going on, he explained the whole story to them in a short story.
"How dare you murder a court official." Xiao Ling said in shock.
Ye Sili thought of Liang Caicai's situation and asked: "So, the group of people you met yesterday are most likely the murderers of Mr. Liang. Think about it carefully, do those people in black have any signs, such as waistbands?
"
"Wordless waistband?" Mu Jiufeng said.
Gu Liyou immediately replied: "Exactly, can you see clearly?"
"Of course. Each of them has one on their waist. I was curious at that time as to what organization would actually use a wordless waist badge."
"Sure enough." Ye Sili thought hard and couldn't figure out what kind of hatred and hatred caused her to threaten Liang Caicai one after another, and now she harmed Liang Hai.
Xiao Ling yawned. She was trapped in a cave last night. She finally escaped and went straight to Yugong's mansion. By this time, she was extremely exhausted.
"Si Li, I originally went to sneak out, but now that I'm injured, I don't dare to go back to the palace." Xiao Ling stared at Ye Si Li eagerly.
"This is easy to handle. You will stay in Yugong Mansion during this period, and I will just send someone to send a message to the people in Qianling Palace."
Mu Jiufeng immediately blinked and looked at Gu Liyou, "Liyou, I too..."
"I'll send someone to prepare a carriage for you."
Xiao Ling burst out laughing, but Mu Jiufeng looked at her and she immediately stopped smiling.
Early the next morning, because of the many events in recent days, Ye Sili was worried, so she asked Late Chun Huanxia to pick Ye Zhongyao back home. She and Gu Liyou also went to Liang Mansion early in the morning.
After the heavy rain the day before, the weather has improved a lot in the past two days.
In the Yusheng Courtyard, Qingluo was boiling water to make tea, while Xiao Ling was lying on a chair, looking at the clouds in the sky with boredom, watching them move with the wind, farther and farther away.
"Princess, please have some tea." Qingluo handed over the brewed tea.
Xiao Ling took it, smelled it, took a sip, suddenly put down the tea cup and stood up and said:
"It's so boring, I'm going out for a walk."
Qingluo hurriedly advised: "Princess, the princess and the young master have specially told you to have a good health and recover from your injuries."
"I know, don't worry, I'm not going to cause trouble for them. I'm just bored and want to go out and have a look." Xiao Ling felt that her ankle was still hurting a lot as she stood, so she said:
"Well, I can go out in a carriage, right?"
Seeing Xiao Ling relent, Qingluo had no choice but to agree, and drove a carriage to take Xiao Ling out of the house.
The situation the night before was too scary. This was the first time she had encountered such a fierce fight. Although she had also encountered it with Sili and Chu Jin that time, she was so drunk at the time that she didn't even know how she returned to Yugong's mansion in the end.
Can not remember.
Having said that, she never thought that Mu Jiufeng would give up his usual careless job and protect her at critical moments.
