"Qinghe, save me! Help me! I'm so scared!"

In the darkness, Yun Yiyi's voice flickered from far away to near.

"Yiyi... where are you?"

Yan Qinghe couldn't see his fingers. He groped around, trying to find the source of the sound.

"Qinghe..."

A light suddenly appeared in front of him, and Yun Yiyi stood there waving at him.

Yan Qinghe ran towards her with big strides.

Before he could grab her hand, Yun Yiyi smiled and leaned back: "Goodbye, Qinghe."

"Yiyi!"

Yan Qinghe sat up abruptly, panting heavily.

Chunying hurriedly took out the handkerchief, and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead for him: "My lord, did you have a nightmare?"

Yan Qinghe gripped the thin quilt tightly, and it took him a while to calm down. He looked up at Chunying: "What time is it?"

"Go back to my lord, it's time for children."

"My lord, Big Brother Wang said that he has something to report, do you want to see him?" Su Ming came in from the front room and asked after opening the curtain.

Yan Qinghe nodded. Before going to Huaicheng, he had told Wang Lin something, and it seemed that something had come to fruition.

Remembering Yun Yiyi's saying that there might be eyeliner in the mansion, he thought for a while, and then said: "When you take him over, be careful not to let people in the mansion see it."

Su Ming gave him a slightly surprised look.

"Just do it." Yan Qinghe added, looking a little tired.

Su Ming hurriedly left.

"You step back." Yan Qinghe looked at Chunying who was waiting to serve.

Chunying turned around after saluting.

It was still raining lightly outside, Wang Lin was afraid that it would bring cold air to Yan Qinghe, so he stopped by the stove in the front hall, took off his coat and baked it for a while before putting it on inside.

Su Ming lifted the scattered curtains, and cupped his hands at Yan Qinghe: "My lord, Brother Wang is here."

Yan Qinghe nodded and raised his hand, Su Ming understood, turned and retreated.

"I should have come to see my lord earlier, but I was afraid of disturbing my lord's rest, so I postponed my visit until today."

"It's okay, is there any clue about what happened last time?" Yan Qinghe made a gesture of invitation, motioning for him to sit down.

"Seeing that your lord's face is better, I feel relieved." Wang Lin casually pulled a stool and sat down, "The lord ordered me to monitor the Right Prime Minister's Mansion that day. After many investigations, I found that it was really tricky."

Yan Qinghe glanced at him: "Continue."

"After your lord left, I followed your lord's advice and sent some people to guard Yan's mansion, and some people to inquire about Youxiang's mansion. As a result, I really found out something."

Wang Lin looked solemnly, seeing Yan Qinghe listening carefully, he continued: "You Xiangfu, I don't know when there was a counselor in blue who appeared, and he left with him not long after the lord left Beijing. Just in case, I sent someone to mix it up The merchant followed him to Huai City from afar, and saw that this person stayed in Xuanji Pavilion for a few days, and he found my people behind him, and only one person came back to report the news, if not, I would not know..."

Yan Qinghe's fingers moved unconsciously since he mentioned the Tsing Yi counselor, and he raised his eyes to look at Wang Lin: "Do you have a portrait of that man?"

"Returning to my lord, my people are afraid of being discovered, and they follow them at a distance, so I can't draw a detailed picture of this person's appearance. However, this person's posture is lazy and his temperament is outstanding. He can be seen at a glance in the crowd. Oh, yes, at that time When he went to Huai City, a woman in red with a veil appeared next to him at some point, and the two were very close, so I don't know what the relationship is." Wang Lin thought about it, and said truthfully.

"What's his name?" Yan Qinghe asked.

"This person is hiding very deeply in the right minister's mansion. Some workers have never even seen this person. The people I sent to infiltrate the right minister's mansion only heard the right minister call him Mr. Duan vaguely, as if he was very respectful. , No matter how many there are, we won’t be able to find out.” Speaking of this matter, Wang Lin’s expression was also a little weird, which family’s counselors are like this, but it seems like the master is doing it.

Yan Qinghe repeated: "Mr. Duan..."

Wang Lin nodded: "It's Mr. Duan, that's right. In my opinion, this person's identity must be very important, otherwise there is no need to hide it like this."

Thoughts surged in Yan Qinghe's mind. According to what Wang Lin said, he could immediately be sure that the man in Tsing Yi he accidentally saw outside the Xuanji Pavilion must be the counselor of the right minister, but... why did the right minister follow him for so long?
What is there on Yan Qinghe that is worth coveting?

He subconsciously knocked on the railing on the edge of the bed with a solemn expression.

If it wasn't for him, only the so-called underground treasures in Huai City would be worthy of action, but the emperor only ordered him to do it. Why did the right minister want to intervene?
and……

Yan Qinghe's eyes were fixed. At that time... he didn't see the man in Tsing Yi among the contestants. If he wanted to get this treasure, why didn't he fight for it?
"This Mr. Duan, I have seen him in Xuanji Pavilion in Huaicheng." Yan Qinghe looked at Wang Lin with a little puzzled expression, "But I only saw this person a few times, and I didn't see him later. Come on, since he doesn't participate in the competition, why did he come to Huai City? Could it be just to join in the fun?"

"My lord, so you have seen him."

Wang Lin glanced at him in surprise, thought for a while and said, "Not participating in the competition doesn't mean he doesn't have the heart to snatch it..."

"You mean, he's one of the contestants?" Yan Qinghe blinked.

"Come to Huai City on a special trip. It's impossible to just play. You obviously have so much time to go, but you choose to go on the day of the Xuanji Pavilion competition. It's too deliberate to say it's a coincidence."

Wang Lin didn't think there was any coincidence. The so-called coincidence must have been carefully calculated.

Yan Qinghe nodded in agreement: "You're right, I don't believe it either. During the competition, there was a scholar from the Qiang Kingdom who repeatedly targeted me and Yiyi. I guess this may be a chess piece he laid..."

"If this is the case, then this person must be treated with care. He is clearly a member of the right minister, and he has connections with the scholars of the Qiang Kingdom..." Wang Lin couldn't help worrying.

Yan Qinghe thought for a while and said: "It's okay, you can send someone to investigate this Qiang country scholar named Yu Mao again, and search along the branches. If it is related to this Mr. Duan, and carefully collect the evidence. Keep quiet."

Wang Lin stood up and said goodbye.

After this conversation, Yan Qinghe was no longer sleepy, he shook the bedside bell, and after a while, Su Ming walked in.

"Is the medicine ready?" Yan Qinghe asked, he felt that his body was too weak, and he used his body to find Yun Yiyi, and he might fall somewhere.

Hearing his active mention, Su Ming had joy in his eyebrows and eyes: "My lord, the medicine is almost ready, you haven't eaten for a long time, the imperial doctor told me to wait until after the meal before taking the medicine, but I have to wait for you to drink the medicine." The kitchen ordered a bowl of porridge?"

Yan Qinghe's eyes fell on the sachet on the bed curtain, which was embroidered by Yun Yiyi himself, and he took it off after being shot by an arrow, and hung it on the bedside, as if Yun Yiyi was still by his side.

"Go ahead, let someone get some more vegetables." Yan Qinghe's eyes were moist, he closed his eyes, and waved his hands.

He had to live a good life, so that he could cheer up and find Yun Yiyi.

"Okay." Su Ming stepped back happily. He was worried that Yan Qinghe would not eat, but he didn't expect that Yan Qinghe would ask for a meal when Brother Wang came, and he didn't know what method Brother Wang used.

It had been raining heavily all night, but it was much lighter at the moment, dripping down the eaves, Yan Qinghe was distracted for a while listening to the sound of rain.

"My lord, it's time to eat." Chunying came in with a tray.

Yan Qinghe turned his head and glanced at her: "Just leave this kind of thing to the servant girl."

Chunying was originally a guard, so she didn't need to do these things, and she probably did it because of guilt.

"It's okay, it's a matter of convenience." Chunying said, "Do you want me to help you get up?"

Yan Qinghe shook his head, pulled himself together, and sat down at the coffee table.

Seeing him staring at the bowl of white rice porridge, Chunying quickly explained: "The imperial doctor said that the diet should be light."

Yan Qinghe picked up the spoon and took a sip, but didn't speak any more.

The white rice porridge is very thick, soft and glutinous, Yan Qinghe can swallow it directly into his throat almost without chewing.

After drinking half a bowl of porridge, his weak stomach finally felt much better. Many beads of sweat appeared on Yan Qinghe's forehead. Chunying handed him a handkerchief, but he refused. He casually wiped it off and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Chen Ci hasn't come back yet?"

"Reporting to my lord, the subordinates haven't seen him, so they must not be back so soon."

Yan Qinghe hummed, lowered his head and silently scooped up a spoonful of porridge.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps came along the front hall.

Chunying walked to the couch, opened the tassel curtain, and it was Chen Ci who came in.

She was a little surprised: "Mr. Chen?"

Chen Ci glanced sideways, as if he didn't expect that she was still awake at this hour.

He nodded: "I got the news and have to report it to your lord."

"Let him in." Yan Qinghe's low voice came from the room.

The matter was urgent, and Chen Ci didn't bother to explain to her. With a twist of his wrist, he opened the curtain on one side and walked in.

"My lord." Chen Ci made a salute, looked up and saw Yan Qinghe was eating, and he was no longer as weak as before, so he nodded secretly.

"Is there any news from Yiyi?"

Yan Qinghe paused with the hand holding the spoon, and looked up at him.

"It's not Madam's news. I took the Xuanji Pavilion's master order to send people to search for Madam. It's only a few hours now, and I haven't sent back the news. It's just that in the process, the people below discovered that someone from the court was involved. For this matter, I searched along the road from Huaicheng, I am afraid that it will arouse the vigilance of the court and involve your lord, so I came here to report this matter to your lord."

People from the imperial court?

Yan Qinghe put down the spoon, thought for a while and said, "Probably the emperor's people, don't worry about them, you did a good job this time, after all, Xuanji Pavilion is a force that even the emperor covets, so we must stagger them in this operation."

Before, in order to find Yun Yiyi, he used some tricks on the emperor, forcing him to think about Da Zhou, and sent someone to find Yun Yiyi, which was regarded as an insurance for himself.

Even so, he couldn't rest assured, so he used the cabinet master's order. After all, he had power in his hands, and the probability of finding someone would be greatly increased.

According to the pavilion master's order, he did not hand it over to the emperor. If he knew that he had such power in his hands, the emperor's suspicion would inevitably make him think that he had evil intentions.

Therefore, try not to be violent if he can not be exposed. Even if he is exposed, he is not afraid, and he has the ability to hide from the world. But in this troubled time, it is better to reduce some troubles. He doesn't want to put his mind on others.

Chen Ci nodded.

"Since Huai City is searched by people from the imperial court, you should look for it along the way since we stopped and dealt with several people and horses, and don't let any trouble go!" Yan Qinghe's gentle eyes were full of layers of murderous intent.

"Yes, my lord!"

Chen Ci was so startled by the sharpness in his eyes that he broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly took orders to retreat.

Yan Qinghe's eyes fell on the edge of the window, and the expression of mourning was beyond words.

He closed his eyes, Yiyi, wait for me a little longer, you must wait for me, I will definitely find you...
