Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Ji Wuyan left from the backyard, and not long after returning to Ji's house, Cen Yan came back.

Ji Wuyan made tea and waited in the yard. When someone came in, he handed over a cup of tea with just the right temperature, "How do you think?"

Cen Yan shook his head and told the truth, "When I went to the East Palace, it was not difficult to avoid the guards. It was just that I walked around in the dark and found no place to lock anyone except a few abandoned courtyards. place. The subordinates also went in to take a look at the courtyards, but found nothing... There was no abnormal movement in the entire East Palace. The subordinates waited for a while, and waited until the prince returned to the palace, thinking that maybe he would go and see the palace. Yun, if you follow him there you will be able to find the place where Chao Yun is being held. Who would have thought that this guy would wash up and rest after he returned to his house."

"My subordinate waited for a while and saw that the lights in his room were all out and his breathing was steady, as if he was asleep, before he returned."

At that time, Xiao Lian came to report that Chao Yun had been taken away by Li Yuqi. At that time, Ji Wuyan ordered Cen Yan to go to the East Palace to investigate. If Li Yuqi was not around, the guards and servants of the East Palace would always be more relaxed. If they were really locked up in the East Palace, In a certain corner, it would be best if Cen Yan's skills could bring the person out directly. If he couldn't bring him out, it would be good to know where he was imprisoned and come back before making plans.

That's why Ji Wuyan provoked and tit-for-tat in Feng Chenzhong, hoping to make people return home with anger that he couldn't vent. If the angry Li Yuqi went to Chao Yun to trouble him when he returned to the East Palace, Cen Yan would definitely gain something. .

But... Li Yuqi was also very careful, and there was not even a single omission.

After finishing the tea in his hand, Cen Yan put down the tea cup and said a little indignantly, "Girl, it's okay. I have arranged for someone to keep an eye on him in the East Palace. There will always be a time when he shows his fox tail!"

Ji Wuyan thought for a while and then ordered, "Just let people keep an eye on you from a distance. You were able to come and go freely in the East Palace before because he took away his personal guards. The guards in the East Palace are not as lax as you think, not to mention He also has a very powerful archer... Just have someone keep an eye on him and see where he has been in the past few days. If Chaoyun is really locked up in the East Palace... I can always think of it. The method brings people out."

If it is still good within the East Palace, I am afraid that Li Yuqi has found a hidden place in the city or even outside the city to be imprisoned, which will be difficult to find.

Cen Yan nodded and said yes, turned around and went out.

The yard became quiet again, the evening breeze blew slowly, and the temperature of the tea cup in my hand gradually cooled down.Ji Wuyan lowered his head and took a sip of tea. His eyes fell on the tea cup left by Cen Yan. After a long while, he lowered his eyebrows and smiled.Li Yuqi noticed that Cen Yan was missing from her side. Before leaving, he would sarcastically and sow discord. It was obvious that he was deeply depressed and unhappy.But even so, he didn't bother Chao Yun after returning home, and just washed up and went to bed.

Either... he was more cautious than he thought, or he had already gone to "greet" Chao Yunguan outside the East Palace, but just counting the time between his departure and Cen Yan's return, he still I think the latter is really unrealistic.Li Yuqi... is indeed not a reckless and ignorant person.

...The carriage slowly stopped at the door of the inn. Xi An put down the stool and helped the old lady get out of the carriage. Then she bowed slowly, cautiously and cautiously, almost to the point of being overly formal, which attracted the side glances of the waiter in the inn who had his sleeves rolled up. .

After Xi'an saluted, he said slowly, "Old madam, it's getting late, please rest early. The master said that old madam doesn't need to worry about Fengchenju's affairs. He will definitely not let the girl suffer in front of the East Palace. Go, no matter how proud Donggong is now, there will be time for him to cry in the future. But it’s not the time for the dust to settle yet.”

The old lady turned her head to look at the man dressed as a guard in front of her. He had a stern expression, and his manner of saluting and speaking was also very serious. He was completely different from the boys in his family. He looked extraordinarily...reliable.She nodded with satisfaction and asked gently, "What's your name?"

"In reply to the old lady, my name is Xi'an. The master said that when you come to Yanjing City, you have to hide it from the girl, and you have to have people around you. If you don't mind, I will arrange for someone to follow you tomorrow. ?”

Mrs. Ji usually lives in Yunzhou, and she doesn't always need someone to wait on her. She usually only takes a carriage driver and a nanny with her when she goes out. But now she refuses because she is worried that the other party will think that she is serious. " "Mind", and thought that I would take this opportunity to explore the reality of Mr. Ning. When I came to Yanjing City, I heard a lot of praise from that man. In summary, there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth. It is the best. Men are the kind that are hard to find even with a lantern.

It's just that such a good thing can only be seen in the sky, and it really makes people start to doubt it from the bottom of their hearts. In addition, those "past events" between Princess Lingxi can't be explained, and they are constantly being sorted out and confused. Mrs. Ji is now facing Ning Xiuyuan really didn't have a good impression.At this moment, his expression turned cold, and he nodded slowly and said, "That's fine...then I'll trouble Guard Xian."

"It's not troublesome." Xi'an handed over his hand again, neither humble nor overbearing. "Master also said that he should accompany you back today to meet him. It's just that it's getting late, and he's afraid of delaying the old lady's rest. In addition, this is the first time to visit the house. It should be done carefully and the time should be paid attention to, but tonight is indeed a bit inappropriate... Therefore, I hope you will bear with me."

The old lady's face softened slightly, and after a long moment, she nodded, said "Yes", and then said, "If I remember correctly, I didn't tell that girl about my coming to Yanjing City, and naturally I didn't tell your master, so what happened to him?" Did you know the identity of the old woman? Could it be that... your master secretly investigated me and sent someone to follow her? "

"You're worrying too much."

Whether he was being praised or being questioned like this, Xi'an's expression was only lightly respectful from beginning to end, with no other emotions.He only explained calmly, "My master wrote a letter to Yunzhou on the order of my old lady, inviting you to come and stay in Yanjing. But counting the days, the letter obviously missed you. The letter was sent, My master then asked about the old lady’s preferences and habits, just so that the old lady could live at home in Yanjing City... Naturally, he also remembered the old lady’s appearance at that time.”

"As for tonight, my master heard about Fengchenju and hurried from the palace. It was obviously a little late. The prince had already left. When the master was about to leave, he happened to see you, the old lady, so he ordered his subordinates I'll take you back to the inn."
