Chapter 1042 Investigate
Yun Yiyi and his party soon arrived in the capital. She lifted the curtain and looked out, and the soldiers were checking one by one.

"Chen Ci, what's going on?" Yun Yiyi's palms tightened slightly.

Chen Ci asked the coachman to move aside and got out of the carriage: "Madam, don't worry, I'll go down and ask."

Yun Yiyi nodded.

After a while, Chen Ci came back.

"Ma'am, I found out, now the capital is only allowed to enter, not to leave me, we can go in directly." Chen Ci wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Yun Yiyi did not expect that the control of the capital city would be so strict, she looked up at the group of people blocking the gate of the city, and said, "Let's go in."

"Yes!"

Sure enough, when the carriage passed by those officers and soldiers, those officers and soldiers didn't even look at them.

After successfully entering the capital, Yun Yiyi found an inn, intending to take a rest and inquire about the imperial city.

Chen Ci stood beside her, seeing him looking outside, Yun Yiyi asked: "What are you looking at?"

Chen Ci turned his head and glanced at Yun Yiyi: "Mrs. Hui, I just saw the distress sign left by Xuanji Pavilion. I don't know who left it. I feel quite urgent."

Yun Yiyi thought for a while: "Then go and have a look first, I'll wait for you here."

"No, my mission is to protect Madam." Chen Ci immediately refused. He was indeed curious about the distress signal, but at the root, his primary task was to protect Yun Yiyi, not to see any distress signs.

"Well, I'll go with you." Yun Yiyi took a sip of tea, dropped the broken silver, and stood up, "Let's go, you lead the way."

Seeing her resolute look, Chen Ci sighed, and had no choice but to accept his fate and walk out of the inn.

"It's here." Following the distress signal all the way, Chen Ci came to a ruined temple. He looked around and stopped Yun Yiyi behind him, "Ma'am, I'll go in and have a look, you hide here and don't come out."

He has never been to this place, who knows who is inside, for the sake of safety, Chen Ci does not intend to let her in.

Yun Yiyi didn't insist either, and nodded.

Chen Ci clenched the long sword in his hand, looking at the surrounding environment from time to time.

"Who's there?" Chen Ci stepped into the temple and asked loudly.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from behind, Chen Ci raised his sword to block it without thinking, and when he saw someone coming, he quickly put away his sword.

"Yan Ni, why is it you?" Chen Ci pulled out the long sword that had been inserted into the wall because of the sudden withdrawal of the sword.

Yan Ni's face was ashen, looking at Chen Ci, tears were almost streaming down her face.

Chen Ci couldn't see the girl shedding tears the most, so he hurriedly said: "Madam is still waiting for us outside, let's go out first."

Yanni sniffed and hummed.

Through the bushes, Yun Yiyi saw the figure in front of Chen Ci from a long distance away. When she saw Yan Ni, she was stunned, then carefully avoided the sharp thorns and walked out.

"Yanni, why are you here?" Yun Yiyi stepped forward to hold Yanni's hand, "Where's Mu Yang?"

"Brother Mu...Brother Mu was caught by officers and soldiers trying to let me escape!" Yan Ni, who hadn't had many tears before, burst into tears when Yun Yiyi asked about Mu Yang.

"Don't worry, let's go back to the inn." Yun Yiyi looked at the empty surroundings, and then at Yanni who was like a little beggar.

Yanni nodded.

After Yun Yiyi brought him back to the inn, she took a piece of clean clothes from the baggage she brought and asked Yan Ni to wash and change into it.

Chen Ci went to order a few dishes, and after Yanni packed up and came out, Xiao Er also delivered the food to the room.

The three of them ate in the room.

After a full meal, Yan Ni said: "Ma'am, since you left, people in the house have also started to leave one after another. Brother Mu and I were the last to leave, but when we went out, we were surrounded by officers and soldiers." Got up, Brother Mu stunned the officers and soldiers with medicine powder, and bought me time to escape. I thought he would escape, but I found out that he was arrested after I escaped, and the right minister said to use him..."

Speaking of this, Yanni subconsciously looked at Yun Yiyi.

Yun Yiyi glanced at her: "Why use him? Is it related to me?"

Yan Ni swallowed her saliva: "The right minister said, if Madam doesn't want Brother Mu to die, she should show up immediately, otherwise, after one day, it will be his death..."

"Madam, no! This is a trap!" Chen Ci said hastily.

There was silence in Yun Yiyi's eyes: "Even if it's a trap, I have to go there, Mr. Mu, he is innocent, I can't just watch him die."

Chen Ci stood up: "Ma'am!"

Yun Yiyi raised her hand to signal him to sit down first.

"Since I said so, there is naturally a way to escape." She took a sip of tea, "Now the Prime Minister just wants to threaten Qinghe with me. I won't be life-threatening in a short time, but Mr. Mu is not sure. He is not someone from Qinghe, I can never let an innocent person get involved in this dispute."

"But Madam can't put herself in danger! If my lord knows, he will definitely disagree." Chen Ci sat down according to her words, with a disapproving expression on her face.

"Didn't I have you here?" Yun Yiyi smiled, "You forgot what is standing behind me? Is the Pavilion Master Ling still with you?"

"It's here under my subordinate." Chen Ci quickly took it out and wanted to hand it to Yun Yiyi, but Yun Yiyi blocked her back, "The pavilion master ordered you to keep it first. If I save Mr. Mu, the right minister will take me If you threaten Qinghe, you will gather these people to save me... If possible, you can send some people to sneak into the palace and send a message to Qinghe."

"Madam...but this Xuanji Pavilion doesn't interfere with the affairs of the court...it's okay to save you, but I'm afraid I can't mobilize people to go to the palace..." Even if Shao Xiu was worried about Yun Yiyi's safety, she just came to pick him up, He will not deal with the court for her.

Yun Yiyi bit her lower lip: "I just need a messenger, I don't need them to do anything, just ask if it's possible?"

Chen Ci nodded: "Forget it, my subordinates will transfer someone to try."

Yun Yiyi turned to look at Yanni: "Where is Mr. Mu placed now?"

"Reporting to Madam, it is in Yan's mansion, and the right minister sent officers and soldiers to guard it." Yan Ni said hastily.

Yun Yiyi stroked the corner of the table, and said slowly: "It's not too late, I'll go back to the residence right away, Chen Ci, hurry up and contact the people in Xuanji Pavilion."

Seeing Yanni's sparkling eyes, Yun Yiyi smiled: "As for Yanni, you can rest at the inn."

"Ma'am, let me go with you, so I can take care of you." Yanni clenched her palms tightly.

Yun Yiyi stroked the top of her hair: "Do you think this is sending warmth? It is enough for me to go alone, if there is more of you, then I will have to save one more person."

"Ma'am is right, Yanni, don't make trouble." Chen Ci said.

Yan Ni pursed her lips, she just wanted to contribute, not to cause trouble, but she also knew that what Chen Ci said was right, so her expression couldn't help being depressed.

"Yanni, don't listen to his nonsense, you should take a good rest at the inn, and Mr. Mu will be back soon." Yun Yiyi comforted, the reason why she wanted to go there as soon as possible was also because she was worried that Mu Yang would be tortured by You Xiang, if she went late , I am afraid that only one life can be recovered at that time, but there will be sequelae.

Whether public or private, she doesn't want to owe her life to anyone.

Yan Ni looked at Yun Yiyi with tears in her eyes. On the one hand, she didn't want Yun Yiyi to go back, after all, who knows what would happen, and on the other hand, she wanted to save Mu Yang.

Taking advantage of the large number of people in the inn, Yun Yiyi also found out what she wanted to know. Both Yan Qinghe and the prince were trapped in the palace, and the fourth prince camped outside.

According to her guess, General Bai has probably gone to call for reinforcements, but whether he can come back in time is another matter.

All in all, there is no rush.

After learning that Yan Qinghe was safe, Yun Yiyi felt much more relaxed. After she ordered Chen Ci to dispatch someone, she got into the carriage and returned to Yan's Mansion.

There was a circle of officers and soldiers around the Yan Mansion, and when they saw a carriage approaching, immediately there were officers and soldiers holding spears in front of the carriage: "Who is coming?"

Yun Yiyi lifted the curtain of the car and slowly got off the horse stool.

"I am Yan Qinghe's wife, don't you adults just want to find me? Why, you don't know me anymore when I arrive?"

She was wearing a light blue moiré dress, and she looked straight at the officers and soldiers, neither humble nor overbearing, and the leader of the officers and soldiers turned their heads and said to the soldiers: "Go and inform Mr. Duan that Yun Yiyi is back!"

The little soldier ran back quickly.

Yun Yiyi took a step forward, and the officers and soldiers quickly stopped her.

"I can't go back to my own mansion? Then I go?"

As she said that, she turned around and was about to leave when a man's clear laughter came from behind her: "Mrs. Yan, since you're here, why bother to leave?"

Yun Yiyi turned her head and saw Duan Xin standing at the door with a smile on her face, her clothes half-opened, different from Liu Han's laziness from time to time, this person was lazy from the bottom of his heart, as if he was too lazy to fix things and only caressed about it.

"Mr. Duan." The leading officer and soldier said hastily.

Duan Xin waved his hand, and the officer pushed aside to make way.

Yun Yiyi looked him up and down, but didn't move.

According to Yan Ni, the right minister is here, so why did he become Mr. Duan again?
"Could it be that Mrs. Yan wants to compete with Duan here, who will stand the longest?" Duan Xin made a gesture of invitation.

Yun Yiyi's eyes fell on the officers and soldiers surrounding her, and she smiled: "Is this how Mr. Duan treats guests?"

Duan Xin raised his eyes to look at the officers and soldiers, and said calmly, "Everyone back off."

The officers and soldiers quickly put down their weapons, and the encirclement quickly rearranged into two teams.

Yun Yiyi took a panoramic view of all this calmly, walked up to Duan Xin, and said calmly, "Mr. Duan, go in and have a cup of tea."

Duan Xin looked at her attitude of being a host, put away his folding fan, and suddenly smiled: "Interesting."

Obviously the mansion was occupied by him, yet he was able to do it with ease, without giving up an inch when talking to him, this was the first time he had seen such a woman.

It was really interesting, and his trip to Yan Mansion was not too boring.
