Chu Yan turned around, but saw that Su Liuye had already fallen asleep, but he just subconsciously turned over and happened to stick to his back.

He was stunned for a moment before he helped Su Liuye re-cover the quilt and fell asleep next to the bed.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of snow being trampled came from the yard. Although the wind was whistling outside, Chu Yan still heard the footsteps keenly, and each time he stepped lightly on the snow.

Definitely a practitioner!

Chu Yan was vigilant, and the voice quickly disappeared, but Chu Yan felt that someone was standing outside the door at this moment.

He breathed as he lifted the curtain open a corner without leaving a trace, and looked out.

The candle had been shrouded by him, and a figure stood still outside the window.

Seeing this scene, Qin Lian was furious and deliberately made some noises, and the people outside left as soon as possible, such a quick reaction ability must be the secret guard on the side of the fifth princess.

Thinking that these people were going to do something to Su Liuye, Chu Yan's face was ugly, he really couldn't imagine, if he wasn't here tonight, would this person directly break in and take Su Liuye away?

He turned around and looked at the sleeping woman beside him, anger growing.

Su Liuye was completely unaware of the movement outside, and she slept until morning. As soon as she rolled over, she felt as if she had hit something, and her nose rubbed against something hard.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and then saw the man's chest. When she realized what was in front of her, she was so frightened that she quickly ducked away.

With her action, Chu Yan also opened her eyes.

His eyes were clear, not like he had just woken up.

"Are you awake?" The man spoke, his deep voice full of magnetism.

"Wake up, wake up."

Su Liuye's cheeks were slightly red, and she slept in Chu Yan's arms, what a shame! Did she just sleep all night?

Thinking of this possibility, Su Liuye was annoyed for a while.

Chu Yan didn't say anything, got up and got dressed, and brought her breakfast and the doctor's medicine.

"Mr. Chu, are you there?"

As soon as Chu Yan sat down, a hurried voice came from outside.

"I'll take a look." Chu Yan put down the dishes and chopsticks, and when he walked outside the door, he saw a miner waiting anxiously.

Seeing that he was here, the miner immediately sighed and said, "Mr. Chu, the mine is about to start construction, and everyone is waiting for you to come over." ”

"I'll go over after breakfast."

"Okay! Mr. Chu, I'll wait for you over there. ”

With that, the miner left.

Thinking that there was still something to be busy with in the mine, Chu Yan returned to the house and simply ate a few bites. Raising his head to meet Su Liuye's inquiring gaze, he didn't hide it, and said, "Ah Liu, I have something to do with the mine today, I'm afraid I won't come back until the evening." You let Xiao Wu follow you today, and don't run around until Lord Xiao comes back. ”

"Husband, I know, don't worry."

"Okay."

Seeing that her face today was not as pale as yesterday, Chu Yan was much more relieved.

He left after breakfast.

Xiao Yun returned to the capital, and he was the only one left in the mine, so he naturally had to take care of everything.

Not long after Chu Yan left, Xiao Wu came over.

Su Liuye sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Chu Yan's back as he left, thinking that he had woken up in his arms this morning, his face was slightly hot again.

Seeing that the sky was good today, she called Xiao Wu to take a look outside.

When she passed through the back door, she also took a few special looks, and found that standing in this position, she could indeed see the situation in her room, and perhaps she should ask the butler to change her room.

These people are like poisonous snakes lurking in the shadows, staring at her all the time, unable to get rid of them.

"Mrs. Chu, where are we going?" Xiao Wu asked.

It snowed again last night, and although it cleared this morning, the wind from the mountains was still dry and cold, like a blunt knife scraping in the face.

Su Liuye wrapped her robe tightly and looked at the mountain roads on the left and right.

On one side is the mine, and on the other side is the small village down the mountain.

The workers on the mountain were busy, and she had no way to go there at the moment, so she had to go to the small village at the foot of the mountain, which was inhabited by miners.

Because of the snow, the mountain road was difficult to walk, so Su Liuye took Xiao Wu for half an hour before reaching the foot of the mountain.

Probably because of the preparation for the Chinese New Year, a small market was also set up in the small village, and the things bought in it were all grown by the villagers or returned from hunting in the mountains.

"This little lady, come and have a look!"

Seeing Su Liuye, the aunt on the stall warmly entertained her, and at the same time whispered to the person next to her, "It's really strange!" Why have so many people come down from the mine in the past two days? Didn't you say that you were in a hurry to use iron recently, and let the workers go to the mines to mine? I heard that it will be dug until the end of the year. They usually don't come down to work in the mountains, but today there are several people who have come down. ”

"Yes, yes."

The aunt next to her was snorting melon seeds, glanced at Su Liuye, as if confirming her identity, and whispered to others, "These two women in front of you don't look like people in the mine, it's really strange tonight, why are so many outsiders in and out of the mine?" Aren't you usually allowed to enter or leave? ”

"yes, I think it's weird!"

Hearing their conversation, Su Liuye thought of a possibility, and immediately asked, "Two aunts, who else did you see coming down from the mine?" ”

The location of their stalls is exactly on the way down the mountain, and anyone who comes down from the mountain can see it.

The people sent by the fifth princess are not miners, so it is estimated that they will not be able to enter the mine, and it is very likely that they will go up the mountain from here and then to the house.

If this aunt sees clues here, she can tell Xiao Yun, and maybe she can find out where the fifth princess is.

"It's just a few men." The aunts didn't think much about it, and said directly, "I disposed of the wild boars that my family had hunted early this morning, and I wanted to sell them at the market, and I happened to see someone coming down from the mountains. ”

"That's right! I saw it from the side! "The man was wrapped in a black robe, like a man, and he hurried down from the mountain, and I wanted to call him over to finish the hot soup, but he didn't even look at me and left!" Such a person is certainly not a miner! ”

The aunt next to her runs this breakfast stall, and the hot soup is boiling in the pot, and from time to time it exudes an enticing aroma, a combination that few people refuse in winter.

"There were a few other people who looked a bit like miners." She frowned, "But there's no way the miners can leave at this time?" They haven't been paid yet! ”
