Although what the maid said was reasonable, Ran Qiunian couldn't wait, she had to ask Xiao Yin about it immediately, otherwise she would be unable to sleep over and over.

She tiptoed to the door, through the crack in the door, cautiously looked outside, the courtyard was quiet, Ran Qiunian's eyes were enough to adapt to the darkness.

The faint light composed of scattered lanterns in the courtyard, accompanied by the moon that appeared from time to time, was enough for Ran Qiunian to see the situation outside.

Noticing that there was no one in the courtyard, she pushed open the door and walked out onto the porch.

The maidservants who kept vigil slept on the couch in the next room, and they would wake up at the slightest noise, and outside the courtyard were the guards who kept watch over the house.

If her courtyard was still in its original place, it would be almost impossible to sneak into Xiao Yin's courtyard without alarming anyone, but now, only separated by a wall, with her familiarity with the guards in the mansion, Ran Qiunian was confident that she could still do it.

Ran Qiunian stood at the gate of the courtyard and peeked at it, a team of guards came out of the corner of the corridor, she quickly retracted her head, hid behind the courtyard gate, and listened to the footsteps outside gradually moving away.

After the team walked over, Ran Qiunian didn't stop, and immediately came out of the yard and ran to the courtyard next to him in small steps.

"Miss?" The little guy who was keeping vigil in Xiao Yin's courtyard suddenly came out from behind, startling Ran Qiunian, and turned around with his heart in his hands.

After seeing who found him, Ran Qiunian breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered angrily: "It's you, I thought it was the guards in the mansion, is Brother Yin back?" ”

This little guy is Xiao Yin's henchman, who served in front of him, and he is naturally familiar with Ran Qiunian, and if there is anything on weekdays, Ran Qiunian inquires with this little guy.

"Young master, he hasn't come back yet." The little girl answered Ran Qiunian's question, and then looked at Ran Qiunian with a face full of uneasiness, "Miss, I thought you were just talking casually, it's been this hour, I didn't think you really came, if someone finds out, how can you explain it?" ”

The little guy was almost frightened by Ran Qiunian's boldness, and he couldn't wait to send people back to his yard immediately.

Ran Qiunian didn't care about this, she comforted the little guy for a few words, and when she heard that Xiao Yin hadn't come back yet, she went directly to the study to sit and wait.

But who knows, as soon as Ran Qiunian sat down, he didn't wait long before he heard a slight sound outside, although the sound was not loud, but Xiao Yin's courtyard was quiet and the needle drop could be heard, which was a little weird.

"When Brother Yin is back!"

Ran Qiunian thought about it in a good mood, got up and pushed open the door of the study, and was facing Xiao Yin who walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Brother Yin." Ran Qiunian shouted softly, noticing Xiao Yin's momentary astonishment when he looked at him, and then his face returned to the calm of Gujing.

"Why is Nian'er here?"

Although Xiao Yin's words mentioned Ran Qiunian, he didn't ask Ran Qiunian, he calmly looked at the little guy who was following him, and the little guy lowered his head in shame, the truth is self-evident.

"Go and get the punishment, don't take it as an example."

Xiao Yin's tone was almost cold, which also made Ran Qiunian's heart fall to the bottom, she couldn't help but take a few steps forward, stopped the little guy, and defended herself to Xiao Yin.

"Why did Brother Yin punish him? It was Nian'er who forced him to tell me, if Brother Yin really hates seeing me so much, just say it, I still want to come to see you, it's good to make it clear. ”

Ran Qiunian felt aggrieved when she said it, it was clear that when she was on the island, Xiao Yin was so considerate and protective of herself, she really thought that the two were husband and wife, even if they were not now, there was always friendship between them.

But after returning to the capital, everything changed.

If she had never gotten it, wouldn't it be too unfair for her to withdraw all her tenderness and become alienated and cold like this, without even a word of explanation?

Facing Ran Qiunian's questioning, Xiao Yin rarely didn't know how to deal with it, he glanced lightly at the little guy who was grabbed by Ran Qiunian, and the little guy hurriedly smiled bitterly and broke away from Ran Qiunian's hand, and went down to receive the punishment silently.

These two are the masters who can't be provoked, he doesn't dare to be caught in the middle, now he just goes down to receive a fine of some months of silver, and he feels a little distressed, if it is later, I am afraid that it will not only be ruined.

Ran Qiunian didn't continue to stop people, she just breathed a sigh in her heart, wanting to take an opportunity to express it.

"Don't make a fuss, it's already time, I'll send you back to the house to rest."

Xiao Yin sighed silently in her heart, and stepped forward to hold Ran Qiunian, but she took a step back and awkwardly avoided her.

Ran Qiunian was not satisfied with Xiao Yin's attitude of responding like this, and was unwilling to leave, but today she was determined to ask clearly, how could she give up halfway?

Xiao Yin couldn't help Ran Qiunian's temperament, he saw that Ran Qiunian's clothes were thin, and he only wore a cloak, thinking of the cold night breeze, he ordered the people around him: "Go and get a cloak of mine." ”

"I don't need that, Brother Yin doesn't have to bother."

Ran Qiunian refused to wear it, if she did, she would be sent back, she would rather stand up in the cold wind.

Xiao Yin shook off his cloak and wanted to drape it on Ran Qiunian's body, Ran Qiunian waved it away with one hand, reached out and held Xiao Yin's arm, but the next moment he touched a wet feeling.

Ran Qiunian was stunned for a moment, Xiao Yin also seemed to realize something, and hurriedly took a step back, wanting to avoid Ran Qiunian's hand, but Ran Qiunian had already sensed that something was wrong, and asked repeatedly:

"What is this?"

Because of Xiao Yin's retreat, her hand fell into the air, paused in mid-air, slowly retracted, turned her hand over, and suddenly her face sank.

In the palm of her hand, there was a touch of red, Xiao Yin was injured?

"Brother Yin, what's the matter with the injury on your arm?"

Ran Qiunian's eyes were worried, and he couldn't bother with the previous things for a while, and his eyes were full of inexplicable wounds on Xiao Yin's body.

How can a good person get hurt? See blood?

Xiao Yin avoided talking about it, he threw away his hand, put the cloak directly on Ran Qiunian's body, and said lightly: "Don't mess around, hurry back to the house to rest." ”

This time, he didn't plan to send people back in person, he didn't want to be discovered more by Ran Qiunian, so he turned around and walked into his house, leaving Ran Qiunian alone in the courtyard.

A little guy stepped forward and made a gesture of sending off to Ran Qiunian: "Miss, the young master ordered the little one to send you back to the house, please come with the little one." ”

Ran Qiunian stood in place, refusing to move, she pursed her lips at the candle flame lit in Xiao Yin's room, and couldn't help but push away the little guy who was blocking in front of her, and walked towards Xiao Yin's house.

The little girl wanted to stop Ran Qiunian, but she didn't dare to really do anything to her, so she let Ran Qiunian break into Xiao Yin's house.

Ran Qiunian pushed open the door and stood at the door angrily, looking at Xiao Yin who was sitting alone in the room.

"Well, you can step back first." Xiao Yin saw the little guy's embarrassed face, and sighed, he already knew Ran Qiunian's temperament, and after knowing this matter, he must have to find out clearly.

The little girl retreated, but Ran Qiunian closed the door with her backhand and walked to Xiao Yin's side, she silently took out the medicine box from under the bed, took out the wound medicine inside, and reached out to untie Xiao Yin's coat.

Xiao Yin stopped Ran Qiunian's hand and frowned slightly, Ran Qiunian was not annoyed, just looked at Xiao Yin quietly, and stalemate with him for a moment, but Xiao Yin chose to compromise and got up and took off his coat.

After that, on the exposed white undershirt, there was blood red, and the wound on the arm could no longer be covered, Ran Qiunian's distressed eyes turned red, and he hurriedly stepped forward and carefully picked up Xiao Yin's arm to look at it.

"Why did you hurt so badly? You are running an errand in Beijing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to hurt you? ”

Ran Qiunian couldn't help but ask, but Xiao Yin didn't talk, as General Gu said, his list was too involved, offended many powerful people, and the means behind his back would inevitably not be less, and he had encountered several waves of killers in the past few days.

In tracing the clues, it is also difficult, and there seems to be an invisible big hand that pulls everything behind his back, so that he has no way to start.

Seeing that Xiao Yin didn't say anything, Ran Qiunian could only temporarily put aside the doubts in his heart and seriously bandage Xiao Yin's wound, fortunately, the wound was not deep, but before it could be treated, it was a little sticky, and Ran Qiunian wasted a lot of effort to peel off the underwear from the blood-stained flesh.

After treating Xiao Yin's wound with red eyes, she suddenly thought of something, and asked Xiao Yin, "Brother Yin, are you alienated from me because of this?" ”

Xiao Yin was silent, but Ran Qiunian felt more and more that she had guessed the truth, and she hurriedly said: "Brother Yin doesn't have to worry about this, I am in the General's Mansion, and I am protected by my uncle and mother-in-law, how can I be in danger?" ”

Seeing that Ran Qiunian had said this, Xiao Yin had to look at Ran Qiunian and explained: "The situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, and it is impossible to prevent it from being overt with guns and arrows, and the General's Mansion is not monolithic after all, so it is the best arrangement to keep you away from me." ”

"Brother Yin just thinks too much, I'm not a child anymore, I naturally know the truth of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and when I see danger outside, I just stay away, but when we go back to the house, we are still the same as before, isn't it?"

Ran Qiunian couldn't help but take Xiao Yin's hand, and whispered, she couldn't bear the estrangement with Xiao Yin for a moment, she didn't feel anything in the past, but after these days, she realized that she had such a deep dependence on Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin looked at Ran Qiu for a long time, but finally couldn't help but put his hand on her head gently, and sighed lightly: "That's it, these days I want to go wrong." ”

Feeling the loosening of Xiao Yin's attitude, Ran Qiu was overjoyed, and his face couldn't help but show a little bit.

"Tomorrow my grandmother will enter Beijing, and I want to go to the city gate to greet my grandmother. Brother Yin should be resting tomorrow, right? Is there any other arrangement? ”

Ran Qiu thought about it suddenly, and asked in a voice, with some imperceptible anticipation in his eyes.

Seeing her eyes, Xiao Yin knew Ran Qiunian's thoughts, and he said softly: "It's okay, I should have gone to the city gate to greet my grandmother in person tomorrow." I go with you. ”

When Ran Qiu Nian heard this, he was first overjoyed, and then noticed the cloth wrapped around Xiao Yin's arm, and hesitated a little: "But your injury ......"

"It's okay, it's just a small injury, it won't get in the way if the bleeding stops, it's not early, you can go back to sleep quickly, so as not to miss the hour tomorrow."
