Under the slanting sun, Mei Xiaoren's carriage stopped outside the medical house on the outskirts of the city, and the two guards were still guarding the door.

Mei Xiaoren stepped out of the carriage, hesitating in his heart, thinking that the two guards would stop him, but he didn't expect the two of them to give him up and called: "Master Mei." Then he opened the courtyard door left and right.

Mei Xiaoren was surprised and looked up at the courtyard. Now that Dr. Shangguan has been driven away by Wei Guogong, the medical house has also lost its appearance, it is early spring, and there is no vitality everywhere.

In the past, although Aunt Ye's eyes couldn't see, she liked flowers and plants, and she was very happy to smell the fragrance of flowers, but now the ground in the yard is dust except for weeds.

Mei Xiaoren walked into the house, and a maid came out with an empty medicine bowl, and when she saw her come in, she was shocked, and hurriedly turned back to report: "Madam, Master Mei is here." ”

"Quick...... Please ......."

Aunt Ye's weak voice reached Mei Xiaoren's ears, and she could hear that Aunt Ye's body was not very good, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.

She entered the house with the maid followed, and saw Aunt Ye lying on the bed, her eyes open, but there was no focus in her eyes, and her already weak body looked like she had lost weight several times.

"Aunt Ye." Mei Xiaoren walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt, and covered Aunt Ye.

Ye Mu raised her hand tremblingly, held Mei Xiaoren's hand, and said, "My lord, I want to ask you for something." ”

The maid by the door immediately persuaded: "Madam, the son said, let Madame calm down and recuperate, don't think about it." ”

When Mrs. Ye heard this, her face immediately fell, and she didn't say anything more, but she was still holding Mei Xiaoren's hand.

Mei Xiaoren knew that Aunt Ye was under the control of others here, and the maid was under the banner of Ye Zhi, and it should be the orders of Wei Guogong.

There is eyeliner here, Mei Xiaoren also remained silent, but Aunt Ye just said the word "ask", which shows that Aunt Ye wants her to help with something very urgent.

She looked sideways at the maid, and saw her standing in front of the door with an expressionless face, not moving, thinking that no one had sent anyone from the Duke of Wei's mansion here.

Mei Xiaoren comforted Aunt Ye and said, "Aunt Ye, I'm here, don't worry." ”

Aunt Ye nodded.

Mei Xiaoren didn't see the figures of the two children all the way in, and was curious: "What about flying flowers freely?" ”

"They should go out to play, it's nothing for me to stay here with an old woman, where can the two children be kept." Aunt Ye patted her hand and said, "My lord, don't worry, they have someone to take care of, and they won't run away." ”

How could Mei Xiaoren not understand the meaning of Aunt Ye's words, Wei Guogong agreed to go out to play with Feihua freely, but did not give them freedom. She remembered that there were two maids here, but she had only seen one so far, and the other must have been following the two brothers and sisters at this time.

"Have you seen Ye Zhi recently?"

Mei Xiaoren nodded, "Yes, Aunt Ye can rest assured, he is fine." ”

"I'm not worried, today is the first day of the new year, and Ye knows that he will come in a while."

"Really?" Mei Xiaoren had a smile on his lips.

No matter how cold the old suspicion between her and Ye Zhi is, it will be difficult to go back to the past, just as she and Chu Yu said, you can't get too close if you have different positions.

The staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion stared at her, and the staff of the Guogong Mansion naturally stared at Ye Zhi, if they met twice in three days, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the staff of both sides.

You can't deliberately make an appointment, and if you can touch it, it's a matter of fate.

After a while, she heard the guard at the door saluting and calling, "Childe." ”

She knew that Ye Zhi was coming, and told Aunt Ye to go and see.

Before Mei Xiaoren could leave the room, he heard the sound of sword clashing outside.

The guard was shouting, "Protect the lady and the ......princess," and before he could finish his words, he swallowed and could hear that he had died.

Mei Xiaoren quickened his pace and walked to the hall, stood by the window and looked out, and saw that the two guards had fallen to the ground, and the two masked black-clothed men who killed them were still fighting Ye Zhi in the courtyard at this time.

The maid also followed her out to check, and when she saw the bloody scene, she screamed and hurriedly turned back and closed the door of the back room, "Madame...... Yes...... There are killer ......"

Ye Zhi learned martial arts under the cultivation of Wei Guogong, he picked up the guard's knife, and barely could live a few moves with the two killers, but the killer's martial arts were superb, and the strength of the two sides was very different, and after a while, Ye Zhi retreated in a row, and his arm was cut off with a sword, and he was forced to lose his weapon.

Ye Zhi retreated to the door of the hall, and the killer pressed forward step by step, raising his sword to stab.

"Ye Zhi!"

Mei Xiaoren rushed to the door and dragged Ye Zhi, and the two turned around together, inadvertently switching places.

She had her back to the door, Ye Zhi was in front of her, she saw Ye Zhi's eyes flash with panic, and she could see that the sharp sword was stabbing towards her vest.

Ye Zhi wanted to pull her away, but it was too late, and the tip of the sword was already approaching.

Mei Xiaoren closed her eyes, ready to suffer another piercing pain, but she didn't wait for a long time to feel the slightest pain.

"Adult ......"

Ye Zhi shouted at her.

Mei Xiaoren turned around slowly, and saw that the sword was stopped less than three inches from her chest.

The killer with the sword had stopped, no longer moving forward, and the other had stood still.

Although the sword was still in front of her, Mei Xiaoren could see from the killer's exposed eyes that the killer was not hesitating to kill her, but seemed to be unwilling......

She knew that it was Ye Zhi that these people were going to kill, but in order to achieve their goals, the killers usually didn't mind killing a few more, they even slaughtered two guards, but they didn't hurt her, why?

"Who are you, and who commanded you to kill him?"

As soon as she spoke, the sword moved away from her, and the man in black withdrew it from its scabbard.

She heard the man in black say the word "go", and then the two of them disappeared in front of their eyes with perfect light skills.

Mei Xiaoren turned around and asked Ye Zhi, "Who wants to kill you?" ”

Ye Zhi's face was calm, he didn't speak, and there was not the slightest fear in his eyes, as if this was what he expected today.

"Do you know who it is?" Mei Xiaoren asked with a frown.

Ye Zhi didn't answer, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

Mei Xiaoren looked back at the door, the picture just now was still lingering in her mind.

Today is a great opportunity for the killer, there are not many guards here, there are no other obstacles, only the slightest martial arts does not know her, why would they give up because of her obstruction?

"I'm going to see my mother." After Ye Zhi finished speaking, he entered the back room.

Mei Xiaoren was still standing in front of the door. When they came back, they saw a dead person in the yard, and the two children were very frightened.

Feihua saw her and pounced on her, "Childe." ”

"Good." A smile appeared on Mei Xiaoren's lips and touched Feihua's head.

"Childe, Feihua misses you so much, Gongzi Chu came that day, but I didn't see you."

"Young Master Chu has been here?" Mei Xiaoren was shocked, squatted down and asked, "When?" ”

"On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, I met Chu Gongzi in the forest outside, but he didn't come in, he stood for a while and left, and I didn't come to say hello."

Mei Xiaoren replied in a low voice: "Got it......"
