Just when Gu Zhiyuan entered the city, a carrier pigeon from the south also fell in the Begonia courtyard.

Xi Yun was still in the water at the moment, and he didn't have time to rush back, and Xi Yan hadn't gone down to the court, so the carrier pigeon landed in the courtyard in front of the study, and no one took care of it. In the afternoon, there was another light rain in the sky, and the carrier pigeon rushed down the corridor, but the bamboo tube containing the letter was shaken to the ground. When the people in the Begonia Courtyard found this bamboo tube, it was already after the rain had stopped.

As soon as Xi Yan returned home, the letterhead had been placed on his bookcase, and the rain had already soaked the ink on the letterhead, and most of the handwriting had become very blurry, even if you looked closely, it was still difficult to decipher.

Xi Yan was very angry in his heart, according to the rules he set, after all the news was sealed into the bamboo tube, it had to be sealed with wax again, in order to prevent rain from staining the ink on the road.

But annoyance is annoyance, and after drying the note, Xi Yan still picked it up and put it under the lamp to study it carefully.

Most of the handwriting is no longer legible, but Xi Yan concluded that this was a message sent from Shuishui, because among the words that can still be seen clearly, the words Shuishui and Hui Chongdu are vaguely mentioned.

Xi Yan secretly thought about such a thing as returning to Chongdu...... The secret guards under him have already made strict arrangements, and they don't need to go back to themselves at all, so the person who returns to Chongdu on the paper can only be Xi Qing's side.

After Xi Qing had such an incident, the only person he would send back was Mr. Gu beside him...... According to this line of thought, Xi Yan continued to speculate that if Gu Zhiyuan had returned to Chongdu, it must have come to seek family refuge, and it was reasonable that he should go to Xi Yuanshan first. But according to the news of this day, there was no trace of Gu Zhiyuan in Xi's mansion at all, and there was no movement on his father's side.

But what Xi Yan didn't expect was that Xi Qing's distress letter to Xi Yuanshan had been sent back a day earlier, and Gu Zhiyuan's return to Beijing this time was completely to hold An Ruofei hostage to blackmail his own affairs.

After a busy day, Xi Yan's mind was somewhat tired, and under the uncertainty of thinking, an important idea was skipped by him. It's just that when he turned his gaze to the distant night sky outside the window, his heart suddenly became a little restless, and An Ruofei's delicate figure appeared in his mind without warning.

Although he was suspicious, Xi Yan only thought that he hadn't seen her for a long time, and he missed her too much, so he only settled down a little, so he stopped thinking about it and turned to other things.

It was late at night, and a hook of the moon crept up into the clouds.

When An Ruofei woke up again, he found himself in a very empty and dark room.

She stood up slowly, only to feel a dull pain in her head. She groped her way around the room, moving forward. The interior of the house is extremely simple, there is not a single superfluous furnishing, only a bowl of water is placed on the square table in the corner of the room.

Although An Ruofei was thirsty and thirsty, she was in such a dangerous situation, she didn't dare to drink the bowl of water on the table...... Although she knew that the water in the bowl was very likely not to be poisonous.

Holding on to the wall to the door, An Ruofei tried to push the doors and windows again, but found that the doors and windows were not moving, and they were already locked from the outside.

She now knew very well that with her own ability, she would never be able to escape from this place. For one, I don't know where this place is; Second, I don't know how many people are guarding outside. If you want to escape by yourself, there is very little hope.

Through the window, a faint moonlight shone in, An Ruofei carefully recalled everything that might have happened after he was brought here, but he couldn't sort out his chaotic thoughts.

In such a strange night, the outside of the house was eerily quiet, and there seemed to be no one guarding the door. An Ruofei didn't know whether she was in the city or outside the city at this time, she groped her way to the door, and through the unsealed and tight window paper, she could vaguely see the shadow of the outside scene, there seemed to be a rockery, and a few tall trees. An Ruofei frowned, vaguely feeling that this place was like the garden of a certain villa.

Thinking about it carefully, An Ruofei concluded that he would not be brought here for more than half a day. After a long time, the people in Si Le Fu will naturally find out that they have long been missing, and I only hope that the people in Si Le Fu can be vigilant and find out that something has happened to them as soon as possible.

But if it's getting late today, no matter what, you can only wait until dawn. By the time dawn, things might turn around. It's just that...... I wonder if anyone will be able to find here?

An Ruofei thought to himself, since it was Xi Qing's people who forcibly brought him here, then he thought that they should be intending to use themselves to blackmail Xi Yan, as for what Xi Qing wanted to do, he had no way of knowing. I just can't think of it...... The people around him have already been bought by Xi Qing, and he is really careless about the jade that has been waiting for him around him.

This Chongdu City is really a trap step by step, but because he didn't notice it for a while, now he is not only in danger, but he is more likely to be involved in ridicule...... While An Ruofei blamed himself, he was also deeply worried about ridicule, I don't know if he will be restrained? At this time, An Ruofei was extremely conflicted in his heart, hoping that Xi Yan could save him, but also wanting him not to be burdened by himself.

The night was long, and there was not a single oil lamp or candle in the house. An Ruofei groped her way to the wall and sat down against the wall, she curled up in the corner, and hugged her knees tightly. She didn't know what time it was, and she didn't dare to close her eyes and rest anymore, so she could only keep her eyes wide open and stare at the window in a daze.

This is a posture to protect himself, since the governor, An Ruofei has no relatives around him, some ...... It's just that important people have left her one after another, she has no friends, she only has endless turmoil, I thought that after Situ Yizheng's death, her life could finally be in her own hands. It's just that I can't imagine that without Situ Yizheng, there are more people who want to control her...... She tightened her thin shirt and reached into her sleeve, but fortunately, the little crossbow was still there.

With the emptiness and darkness of the room, An Ruofei still closed his eyes in a daze.

In the city of Chongdu in the distance, Xi Yan tossed and turned, unable to sleep no matter what. These days, he is not only busy with the official affairs of the imperial court, but also has to worry about the related matters over there. He was tired, but now he was sober.

The tranquility and tranquility of the Begonia Courtyard was the most suitable for rest, but tonight, Xi Yan suddenly felt that there was space here...... It's too lonely.

I haven't seen An Ruofei for a few days, I don't know if she's okay these days?

Thinking of this, Xi Yan had even more difficulty sleeping...... Somehow, his heart suddenly panicked again, and he suddenly wanted to wait to see An Ruofei for a glance, even if it was just a glance. But at this time, it was late at night, and when I thought about it again, I could only wait until dawn.

The rain fell again, and with the sound of rain, Xi Yan finally fell asleep.
