"Yin Mo has already set off?"

There was only a small lamp in the study, and it was full of plain colors. The two walls of the study were full of books, and behind the table on the east side was a cyan figure.

"yes, just left through the back door with two guards." Yin Hong stood beside the desk and replied respectfully.

Jun Ruojin nodded silently, unable to see his expression clearly in the dark.

"In addition, there are two news from the secret agents in Beijing just now, one is that two death row prisoners in Jingxi Prison escaped from the capital last night, and Master Mo of the Criminal Department was ordered by the emperor to investigate, and the scope of the pursuit has been expanded to Qi Yushan. Master Mo also sent a letter just now, saying that the emperor was very worried about the situation here, and would send people to look for protection in the periphery. ”

There was a brief silence behind the table, "What else?" ”

"Xiao Gongzi is missing, and his current whereabouts are unknown." Yin Hong's speed of speech slowed down significantly, and his words were more cautious than Fang Cai.

Jun Ruojin put down the pen in his hand, and said in a cold voice for a while, "Check." ”

"The subordinates have ordered people to continue to investigate, and no matter when they get the news, they must report it in time. At the same time, the subordinates also strengthened the search at night, and additional personnel were also assigned to each section of the mountain, and two shifts were on duty at night. ”

Jun Ruojin let out an "um" and asked, "How is the situation on the side of the Fifth Emperor Brother?" ”

"The fifth prince has recovered, and the emperor allowed him to recuperate a lot, so he stayed in the house most of the time, but he was dragged to Yifei Tower by the fourth prince a few days ago."

He didn't have much to say about the rest of the words, as long as the prince could understand the meaning.

Among the eight princes of Daqi today, the most colorful and elegant is the five princes, and the most rebellious is the four princes, who are famous for their love of pleasure and pleasure, regardless of their fame.

Yifei Tower is a place of pleasure for the nobles of the capital. Someone once said that in Yifei Tower, if the distinguished customer wants, there is no store that cannot do it. Although this is a slight exaggeration, all the delicacies, whether from the north and the south, or from other places, as long as the guests want to taste them, can taste them here.

The same is true of deliciousness, and the same is true of beautiful women, as long as they can afford silver.

Of course, the most important thing that the sons of the family lack is silver, and what they need most for pleasure outside is not to show things, no matter how they have fun here, spend all their time drinking, outside, they are all beautiful sons. In terms of protecting secrecy, Yi Fei Lou has an excellent reputation.

Outside the window, goose feathers and heavy snow fell quietly, which was as beautiful as a painting.

"Anything else to say?" Seeing that Yin Hong was still standing aside, Jun Ruojin was a little surprised. I still know a little about this guard who has been with him since he was a child, although he has always been silent, but everything he does is neat, and it is rare to stop talking like this.

"The subordinates feel that these two things are not simple." He hesitated and said, a little puzzled that the prince had no instructions.

As for his doubts and worries, Jun Ruojin only lost these four words, "wait and see what happens".

*****

Lying motionless on the couch outside, a pair of apricot eyes staring out the window, the snow falling finely and falling. She looked at it for a long time, her eyes were sour, and she was obviously full of tiredness, but she couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning.

Come to think of it, she hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep for two days.

She rolled over slightly, trying to find a comfortable position, but she only felt something tense in her head, and she couldn't relax for a moment. Lying on his side for a while, his breathing became a little suffocated, and he lay back on his back again.

The jade pendant took off his hand, obviously it should be relaxed, but he felt more uncertain.

Will he come looking for him? The moment the jade pendant detached from his fingertips, a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.

Over the years, he has not forgotten to take it with him, and he has gone through all odds to break into another hospital, and he will come back to find this affection.

A flash of fire flickered through the window, and it was the guard on patrol. As a rough estimate, they would pass by every quarter of an hour. This was a bit unusual compared to yesterday, and the fire seemed to have stayed a little longer this time.

After thinking about it, he sat up gently with his hands on the bed.

"Tilt." Jiang Yan's voice came from the room, softly, but because the room was too quiet, it was clear to the ear.

Tilt looked out, then hurriedly put on his coat and walked in, "What do you have to say, Madame?" ”

Jiang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, her skin was fair in the faint light, her eyes were clear, and she looked extremely sober. She sat up slightly, and immediately stepped forward to place the cushion behind her, and helped her to lean in.

"My mouth is a little dry." She said.

The room was a little hot, so I tried the temperature of the water and poured a glass of warm water. Jiang Yan only took a small sip and put it down, and took it quietly, understanding that she was not really thirsty.

"I didn't sleep well last night, and I changed my bed today, I'm afraid I'm not used to it again." Jiang Yan didn't mean to fall asleep, and spoke softly and slowly.

"Fortunately, there were times when I couldn't sleep for a whole month."

Jiang Yan looked at her for a long time, "Look at your young age, but you have also experienced things." ”

Tilting her lips and smiling, she used to only think that Madame was cold and indifferent, but now she really found that she was unpredictable. The events of last night seemed to be misty, except for the slightest strangeness between the eyebrows and eyes in the morning, and nothing was revealed after that.

"Madame can't sleep too?" Or do you have something on your mind?

Jiang Yan never asked, why did she come back with the things rewarded by the prince? Why did the person who was supposed to sleep in the room meet the prince? She just asked Yun'er to take the thing, but she didn't even look at it.

Without waiting for Jiang Yan to answer, a series of hurried footsteps and vague words sounded faintly in the distance, which sounded particularly infiltrating at night. Jiang Yan sat up with her body propped up, and after a moment of hesitation, her face suddenly turned pale.

Tilting was also startled by the noise outside, and couldn't tell the reason, and his heart was pounding.

"What's going on out there?" Jiang Yan asked, her tone slightly hurried.

Leaning to the window, he opened the gap and looked out, the firelight was everywhere, and countless hazy figures swayed in the process. In the end, the distance is a little far, and I can't see anything clearly.

She closed the window and comforted: "Madame don't have to worry, there are people sent by the prince outside to guard the safety of the courtyard, and there should be nothing wrong." ”

After listening to her words, Jiang Yan's face did not improve, adding an indescribable solemnity. Seeing this, she was suspicious, but in the midst of lightning, she suddenly understood her worries.

Tilting her eyes slightly, could it be what she thought?

was thinking about it, only to hear Jiang Yan instruct: "You go out to see the situation, go and come back quickly." After a pause, he added, "Stay safe." ”

When he rushed outside, there were only sporadic fires left in the distance, and it was quiet all around, as if the hustle and bustle he had heard before was an illusion.

He hesitated, but decided to go ahead and take a look. When she approached the path leading to the outside, she was stopped, and when she looked at the palace lamp, she saw that it was the guard who had spoken to her that night.

The guards obviously recognized her at a glance, and a smile could not help but appear in their eyes, "The girl is running around again disobediently." There was some helplessness in the words.

The rest of the guards looked at me and I looked at you, their eyes intertwined, exchanging their surprises. When did this captain become so familiar with the girl's family?

"It's you again, what's going on just now?" I couldn't help but be a little happy to see him, I had a relationship, and I could ask more than a stranger, but I was a little dissatisfied with his three words 'disobedient', "Our lady was awakened and uneasy, and asked me to come out and see what was going on. The word "command" is particularly pronounced.

"It's nothing, the girl can rest assured to go back, we are guarding here, and rest in peace." There was a tone of disagreement in his words.

Tilting was even more suspicious in his heart, there must be a reason why they suddenly stayed here, that is, they didn't know if all the courtyards were like this, or only Tingfeng Pavilion.

"Since you don't say it, then I have to go and see for myself, otherwise I will not be able to reply to Madame." Talking about the posture of pretending to rush forward.

"Let's just say that you little girl is bold." The guards didn't want to scare her, but they saw her hanging outside in the middle of the night twice, and they were worried that she would really sneak out.

Listening to his softened and helpless tone, he pursed the corners of his lips and waited for his answer.

"It's good that you know, don't scare your lady by talking nonsense." He looked at her serious expression before he said: "The death row prisoner in the capital has escaped from prison, and the prince ordered people to tighten their guard and not allow anyone to come and go at will." ”

Tilting his eyes widened, he didn't expect that he would pull out any death row prisoners, "The situation just now, was someone breaking in?" ”

The guard's expression changed, which he also felt strange, there was nothing abnormal in their guards, and the Lord of the Criminal Department specially sent someone to inform them that they had already made sufficient preparations, and the source of the loophole in the middle was still a mystery, but this could not be said to her.

"Go back quickly, and don't come out again if you hear any movement."

Looking at his expression, he knew that things were still under control, and he only figured out a little bit, but he also knew that he would not ask anything if he asked again.

"By the way, my name is Xu Fei." The guard said suddenly.

A few people next to him chuckled.

He glared at them, but still responded with a smile, "Just call me to tilt." ”

After saying that, she turned to leave, inexplicably relieved, no matter what, as long as it wasn't related to that son.

Death row? Knowing that the prince was on Qiyu Mountain, how could he be stupid and bump into him? Do you think that no one dares to search here? At this time, I remembered one more thing, the son who had a marriage contract with his wife didn't know what his identity was, but those who could get acquainted with the prince were afraid that their status was not low.

She looked to the west again, and the fire was completely gone. When she retracted her gaze, she caught a glimpse of several people guarding the path who were missing, and she didn't know if they had gone away, hidden, or if they were a problem with their sight.

Thinking of Jiang Yan, who was still waiting for news, she stepped up her pace.

The snow was falling fast and fast, and in the middle of the night, the snow was up to the ankles. Tilting has not yet adapted to the snow in the north, but it feels like stepping on the clouds, walking one foot deep and one foot shallow, which is quite difficult. lowered his head to look for the footprints when he came, but at this time, he was shocked to find that in the direction behind the right side of his feet, in addition to his own shadow, there was an extra touch.

The first reaction was Xu Fei, and she was about to turn around, but she found that this person was stout, which obviously did not match Xu Fei's figure. In addition, he was not wearing any armor.

Leaning back and stiffening, his instinct telling him to maintain his speed of movement, his eyes kept looking at the shadows on the ground, trying to confirm again.

However, to her dismay, as she went, the shadow followed silently.

There was indeed someone behind her, who followed quietly, and narrowed the distance between her and her little by little.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and she knew that there was no better thing for her than to run or scream and get back to where she had just met the guard, but she was almost certain that there was no one there, or that she would be led away, or ......

She didn't dare to imagine those two words, the only thing she could do was to gamble and bet on the identity of the person behind her.

Death row inmates, or people who have lost their jade pendants.

Since yesterday, she had never been so eager to meet him at such a moment.

Just as the shadow immediately pressed against her back, she jerked her head back. The other party was not tall, but he was very stout, and the moonlight hit his face, strange and tyrannical. His face was covered by a beard, his eyes were obviously ill-intentioned, and he was dressed in dark blue coarse cloth, such a person could not be the person who made Mrs. Yan unforgettable.

A chill ran in his heart, and he watched the corners of his lips rise higher and higher, as if he was looking at a prey that had already arrived. This is an outlaw who acts arbitrarily on territory that is not his own, and does not care about the guards at all.

No matter how much he had told himself to be calm, fear spread irrepressibly at this moment, his eyes lit up, and he suddenly rushed over and grabbed her arm and pulled it, and quickly covered her mouth with his other hand. She struggled desperately, even though she knew it was futile, but she couldn't sit still.

And he finally cracked his mouth and laughed, making a low, muddy voice, which was a mockery of her incompetence.
