Chapter 863 Distress
The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. It is the hottest season at the end of June and before July.West Court

As soon as she stepped out of the room, Yun Yiyi was beaten back by the heat wave outside.

The servant girl quickly fanned her round fan to cool her down.

However, in this kind of weather, only heat is fanned out.

Yun Yiyi waved her hand: "There's no need to fan it."

The servant girl sighed: "Ma'am, it's so hot, how can I live?"

In this weather, even the ice cubes melt extremely quickly.

Yun Yiyi looked at the sun hanging high outside, and couldn't help frowning: "Master, has he returned from court?"

"Go back to madam, I heard from the concierge that the master went to the west courtyard not long after he came back." The servant girl played a fan to shade Yun Yiyi from the sun.

Yun Yiyi took the ice mirror from the maidservant's hand: "Send some watermelons to quench the master's thirst."

The West Courtyard is the residence that Xia Qing arranged for Chen Ci. Yan Qinghe said last night that he would ask about the situation, presumably today was to ask about some details of the case back then.

The servant girl nodded, and turned her head to tell the little servant girl next to her to go on.

Not long after Yan Qinghe entered the west courtyard, he heard the sound of swords.

He looked up, and saw a young man wielding his sword with the fallen leaves. He didn't know if he had pulled the wound. The young man let out a painful cry, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Yan Qinghe walked over slowly, picked it up and handed it to him: "Since you are not in good health, don't be brave!"

Chen Ci looked along the hilt of the sword, cupped his fists and said, "Master Yan."

"You know me?" Yan Qinghe raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's just that few people come here in this courtyard. Before coming here, I heard from the maids that Mr. Yan is handsome and handsome. When I saw this outfit today, I dared to guess." Chen Ci continued.

Yan Qinghe knew from Yun Yiyi's mouth that he had only heard his name before, so he naturally knew that what he said was not a lie.

Originally, he had some complaints about the man Yun Yiyi brought back, but when he came to see him today, apart from asking about the details, there was still a trace of temptation.

Fortunately, this person is a person who knows how to praise and respect etiquette, and he straightened his attitude as soon as he came up, remembering that he still needs to use him in some places, Yan Qinghe asked softly: "How is it to live here?"

Chen Ci nodded, and asked him to move into the inner room: "Madam's arrangement is very good, Chen Ci is very grateful."

Yan Qinghe walked in, found a stool and sat down: "I have heard about your life experience from Yiyi, and I intend to vindicate Mr. Chen..."

"Thank you, Lord Yan, for your kindness, but now I am the only one left in the Chen residence, and I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to accomplish with just my mouth."

Yan Qinghe picked up the teapot and poured a cup, observed the other party's expression calmly, saw the other party go from agitated to disappointed, and continued: "Actually, apart from you, there was another insider back then."

Chen Ci's eyes froze suddenly: "Master Yan is saying..."

"That's right, it's Zhao Yangde, the steward of the Chen family who was tortured back then. I have received a secret report. Long before that, Mr. Chen ordered Zhao Yangde to hide the most important evidence collected just in case. After being tortured by Shangshu Shengquan , It was difficult to withstand the torture, and he had to be tortured, but he never said where the evidence was."

Looking at Chen Ci, Yan Qinghe said slowly: "My people also found that the evidence provided in this case was not perfect, so they followed up with the investigation, and went to find the servants who were exiled back then. I just got the news."

This is also the news that Wang Lin brought back.

He was worrying about how to find the hiding place of this evidence, no, when he fell asleep, he just gave him a pillow.

Since Chen Ci is a member of the Chen family, he may know where this evidence is hidden.

When Chen Ci heard the news, his expression was slightly shocked.

Witnessing his family being framed by corrupt officials with his own eyes, he was filled with revenge. He never thought of going to find the servants who were exiled back then. He didn't expect that there was such a secret in it. If Yan Qinghe hadn't told him, he might have missed it.

"Thank you, Lord Yan, for letting me know. Chen Ci will definitely do his best to find this place!" Chen Ci looked at Yan Qinghe firmly, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Yan Qinghe smiled: "In the past few days, you will take good care of your wounds in the mansion. After a few days, you must gather your energy before searching."

While the two were talking, the servant girl came over with several plates of sliced ​​watermelon, and said to Yan Qinghe, "Master, Madam knows that you have just returned from a hot day, and is worried about your heat stroke, so she specially asked me to bring watermelon to drink with Mr. Chen."

Yan Qinghe smiled, and looked at Chen Ci: "Try it, this is cultivated by Yiyi, there is no such sweet watermelon out there."

His tone was casual, but with a hint of complacency.

Chen Ci took a piece from the plate and ate it slowly, as Yan Qinghe said, it was very sweet.

He had eaten watermelon before, but it was not as sweet and juicy as this.

"It's really good." Chen Ci praised.

The smile in the corner of Yan Qinghe's eyes deepened, and he looked at the servant girl: "Madam is still in the mansion?"

The servant girl shook her head: "Madam said she was going to Yunzhuang to see how the sunflowers are growing, so she must have already left by now."

Yan Qinghe frowned: "Is she alone?"

"Master, don't worry, Madam has brought Chunying and many other guards."

"Master Yan, are you worried that something will happen to Madam?" Seeing Yan Qinghe's nervous expression, Chen Ci asked.

"Ever since I heard Yiyi say that Shengquan would deal with me, I have always been restless. There are always people around me, and it is difficult to put people by my side, but Yiyi is different..."

Yan Qinghe took a piece of watermelon and gnawed it. The watermelon with ice cubes brought a little bit of coolness, which made his brows relax a bit.

"Master Yan, let me take someone to follow and have a look." Chen Ci said.

"You're still injured, so it's inconvenient to leave. Let's take a good rest. I have other arrangements for this matter." Yan Qinghe politely refused, then walked out of the West Courtyard, calling for Su Ming to lead someone to secretly protect Yun Yiyi.

The climate in Yunzhuang is obviously cooler than that in Yanfu.

Probably because it is surrounded by weir ponds, and living near the water, it is not so hot.

The servant girl shaded her from the sun all the way, and was so tired that she changed hands several times, Yun Yiyi asked her to put down her arms to rest.

Just came a gust of wind, which took away some of the heat.

Yun Yiyi came to the field of sunflowers. As a plant that grows in the sun, the sun is all about it. The clusters of sunflowers swayed with the wind, as if welcoming Yun Yiyi's arrival.

Yun Yiyi leaned forward and looked at the sunflowers that had just bloomed.

"Let's go." Yun Yiyi turned and said to the maid.

The maid asked strangely: "Ma'am, don't you pick it?"

"It's not ripe yet, what to pick."

Yun Yiyi nodded her forehead: "Let's live a little longer."

The maid looked at Sunflower in a daze, and followed Yun Yiyi forward.

Not far from Yunzhuang, Yun Yiyi walked towards the position of the carriage, Chunying suddenly grabbed her sleeve: "Ma'am, someone is following us."

Yun Yiyi looked around for a week and stopped.

"Who is it, hiding behind is nothing! Get out of here." Chunying drew her sword to protect Yun Yiyi, and the guards she brought quickly surrounded Yun Yiyi and the maid, forming a protective circle.

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen masked men in black suddenly appeared in the hidden jungle on both sides.

"Who are you?" Yun Yiyi looked directly at the leading man in black in front of him, with a calm expression on his face, showing no emotion.

"You don't have to care who we are! Take them away!" The leader didn't want to say more, and turned around to order the other men in black.

"Yes!"

"Protect Madam!" Chunying blocked Yun Yiyi's front, raising her sword to block the stabbing blow.

The guards quickly lined up and stepped forward to fight the man in black.

When going out this time, Yun Yiyi originally thought that twenty people would be enough, but she didn't expect so many people in black to come. She made a rough calculation and found that there were at least 50 people on the other side.

Not only was there a large number of people, but Yun Yiyi found that the other party only wanted to kill her with a single blow, and the target was coming straight for her.

Seeing that the guards were missing one by one, Chunying made a decisive decision, leaving a small group of people behind to restrain the man in black in front, and the rest protected Yun Yiyi to get on the carriage, and the maid stood behind her to prevent anyone from attacking her back.

"I swear to protect Madam to the death!" The guards in front of Yun Yiyi kept fighting the men in black who came up from behind, buying time for Chunying to take Yun Yiyi into the carriage.

Yun Yiyi had never encountered such a danger before, and she couldn't react for a while.

"Madam, hurry up!" Hearing Chunying's anxious voice, Yun Yiyi hastily stretched out her hand to hold Chunying's extended hand, and with this strength, got into the carriage.

"Go!" Chunying yelled at the coachman.

The coachman was motionless.

The servant girl quickly pushed him, but the other party fell straight down.

"Ah! He's dead!" the servant girl exclaimed in shock.

Chunying didn't care so much, she just pushed down the groom's body to make room for it, placed Yun Yiyi behind the carriage, and said to the servant girl, "You take good care of Madam, I'll go out and take care of the horse!"

The maid nodded repeatedly.

Chunying went out of the garage, picked up the reins to set up the carriage, and quickly moved away from here. A few men in black chased after her, but failed to catch up.

"Ma'am, what should I do?" The servant girl was trembling with fright, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.

Yun Yiyi took a deep breath: "Don't panic, we'll be safe when we escape from here."

As soon as the words fell, Chunying's muffled hum came from outside the carriage, and the carriage had slowly stopped.

Yun Yiyi panicked, opened the curtain in front of her, and got out of the carriage.

A dozen men in black surrounded Chunying outside the car. After several battles, Chunying had suffered several wounds, and blood was slowly flowing down her clothes.

Chunying held up the blood-dripping long sword and looked around, looking for a breakthrough.

No matter how good her martial arts are, she has too many enemies and is under the control of others. She has more energy than strength, and is quickly subdued by the man in black kneeling down.

Unexpectedly, the people behind not only dispatched the killers in front, but also set up an ambush at the place they must pass through to return home.

This is determined to catch her!
Yun Yiyi's eyes turned cold, and she clenched her hands tightly.

"Stop! If you want money, I can give you several times the price! Let Chunying go!" she said loudly.

The leading man in black laughed strangely: "I have a lot of money, who cares about your money! You can blame yourself for offending someone!"

As he spoke, the man in black raised his hand.

"Ma'am, be careful!"

Yun Yiyi only had time to hear the maidservant's call, her vision went dark and she lost consciousness.
