"My lord, there is a message from Grandpa Ma." Someone pulled a rolled-up note from the pigeon's foot and handed it to Bian Yi.

Bian Yi dropped the folding fan in his hand and took the note. After opening it, looking at it for a long time, frowning, Bian Yi put the note on the candle flame, but in an instant, the note turned into fine and dense ashes, fluttering on the table. He picked up the folding fan on the table again and looked at it carefully.

"My lord, this letter is ······" The subordinates around him waited for a long time, Bian Yi didn't speak, he just stared at the folding fan in his hand more and more carefully, and little by little he wanted to find something on it.

After a long time, Bian Yi turned around and looked at the people around him and sighed and said: "The emperor can't wait, if you can't find the hiding place of the imperial concubine in another ten days, the lives of our people will not be saved." ”

"Ten days?" The eyes of the subordinates beside him were shocked, and he said anxiously, "How can you find the imperial concubine in such a short time?" ”

"Right now, the only clue we have on hand is this folding fan." Bian Yi raised the folding fan in his hand, which was left in the pharmacy in a hurry when Ning Yanchen fled with Chu Xiangwan and Xiao'er last time, and was quietly brought back by Bian Yi at that time, he always felt that this folding fan could help him find Ning Yanchen's foothold.

"My lord, do you see any difference in this folding fan?" In the eyes of the subordinates around him, this folding fan is nothing special except that the workmanship looks exquisite.

Bian Yi didn't answer, but when the candle on the table was about to burn out, he snapped and closed the folding fan heavily, and with it, a happy color appeared on his face. He turned to his subordinates and said, "I'm going to go to the palace, maybe there will be new discoveries." With that, he took his cloak and went out.

"Commander Bian, haven't you received my letter to you?" When Bian Yi passed by Donghua Gate, he happened to meet Ma Hui, and Ma Hui raised his eyebrows and stopped him.

"Got it."

"How do you still have time to enter the palace? The emperor only gave ten days, and you didn't step up the investigation outside the palace? Ma Hui looked like he was more anxious than Bian Yi.

Bian Yi didn't have time to explain more at the moment, so he arched his hand and said, "I already have some clues, and I will report to the emperor immediately when I find out." ”

"In that case, I won't delay you, you have to be tight." Although Ma Hui had doubts, he didn't ask again, and turned around and left with the little eunuch beside him.

The library in the palace is actually divided into two parts, half of which are precious classics, and the other half is the history of the previous dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and the things of the previous dynasty have long been forgotten, who still remembers that there are still these historical materials to see in the library pavilion in the palace, plus there are few people in the library pavilion, everything is shelved and the pavilion is not organized, and it is not easy for Bian Yi to look for something that he wants to see for a while.

This matter is confidential, and Bian Yi only instructed the little eunuch to clean up the things that had happened in front of the previous dynasty and let them leave. Starting from the beginning, I flipped through them one by one, and most of the night passed, and there was no gain at all. It was already dawn, and Bian Yi was also a little out of spirit, but he paused when he was about to close the book in his hand. Pressing his fingers on the yellowed paper, he memorized word by word, and finally closed the book, got up, left the library, and went straight to the outside of the palace.

Yes, Bian Yi made an important discovery in this book, and he went straight to the largest paper mill in the capital to find out.

"Where's your shopkeeper?" As soon as he entered the paper mill, Bian Yi grabbed a worker and asked.

"The shopkeeper has recently left the city, and he won't come back until half a month later." Seeing that Bian Yi's face was serious and cold, the worker immediately replied in a low voice.

Bian Yi frowned, it seemed that it was impossible to bring back the imperial concubine within ten days through this line, so he let go of the workers and returned to the house.

In the Innocent Villa, Xiao'er knocked on Chu Xiangwan's door.

"Xiao'er, do you have something to do with me?" Chu Xiangwan let Xiao'er into the room, the weather in February is the coldest time in the capital, and even more so on the mountain.

"Sister, I saw that you didn't use chopsticks much for lunch, so I made you some red bean and barley porridge." Xiao'er raised the tray in her hand and said as she walked.

"I'm sorry to excuse me, but I can't eat it." Chu Xiangwan shook Xiao'er's hand and said apologetically.

"Sister, I know the bitterness in your heart, but you can't keep suffering like this." Xiao'er held Chu Xiangwan's hands back and added some strength. She looked directly into Chu Xiangwan's eyes and tried to comfort her, but Chu Xiangwan's eyes were full of worry.

Chu Xiangwan smiled reluctantly: "Little girl, thank you for your kindness, although I understand some things, I can't do it behind, I'm worried, I'm sad, I'm sad, all these people and things are both the past and the future, I can't help but think about it." ”

"What is my sister's biggest concern right now? If Xiao'er can do something for you, will you not be so overwhelmed and restless. ”

"Jingyao, child, Daddy, I owe them too much," Chu Xiangwan paused and continued, "Xiao'er, I appreciate your concern, but I also know the current situation, and I can't compensate them in case." ”

The room was quiet for a while, Xiao'er seemed to be struggling to think about something, and suddenly her eyes lit up and said with a smile: "Sister, the palace is not safe, and King Rui is not visible from far away on the battlefield, so why don't I take you to meet your father." ”

Chu Xiangwan's eyes also lit up, and she said excitedly, "Is it okay?" But in an instant, she shook her head and said deflatedly, "The chaos in the capital has appeared, and the emperor must have sent people to look for our whereabouts in the city, and it is really dangerous to leave the Innocent Mountain Villa now." ”

"Sister, don't worry, they can't find us after we've been here for so long, they must be headless flies, and when we go to Xiangfu at night, no one will find out."

"But······ Why don't we talk to Yanchen? Chu Xiangwan hesitated.

Xiao'er immediately waved her hand: "Sister, senior brother has always been cautious, if you tell him about this, we won't be able to get out." We've only been out for a short while, and after you have been away from the capital for so many years, your father must miss you too. ”

Chu Xiangwan stopped talking, she let out a long sigh, indeed, since she entered the palace, she has rarely met her father, and later she was threatened by the queen mother to leave Da Zhou alone without telling her father the reason, presumably her father has been extremely worried about her life and death over the years, she really wants to see her father.

"Sister?" Xiao'er called a few times to make Chu Xiangwan come back to his senses, Xiao'er said, "It's reckless that I mentioned, let's wait for King Rui to take the capital in the villa." After Xiao'er finished speaking, she got up and planned to leave.

"Xiao'er," Chu Xiangwan grabbed Xiao'er, "I want to see Daddy." ”

"Okay, Daddy, Uncle and Senior Brother are researching new poison techniques these past few nights, they shouldn't find us leaving, let's go and come back quickly tomorrow night."

"Yes." Chu Xiangwan nodded, and there was finally a hint of anticipation in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
