Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun landed in the courtyard with the help of the roof tiles.

The woman on Jiang Linxu's back was covered with disheveled hair covering most of her face, but her face was still haggard and pale, and the plain sackcloth on her body was stained red by the blood flowing from some wound.

Ye Huaiyun immediately called the Shadow Guards of the Eastern Palace and ordered them to quickly invite the doctors in the city.

Boss Li on the surface of Fushiju was also a disciple of Luanxiao Palace in the early years. Since Chu Tingyun and his party were going to stay to investigate the case, they were naturally not suitable to live in the inn, so they all moved into Li's house.

After the servants put the unconscious Pan family lady on the bed in the guest room, Ye Huaiyun asked, "What's going on?"

Jiang Linxu roughly explained the whole story of what he saw.

In the evening, Pan Han and his wife were arguing and cursing so loudly that he almost fell asleep.Suddenly, the lady of Pan's family cried and asked, "Where did Xiuxiu go?" Jiang Linxu remembered the task Chu Tingyun had given him, and quickly cheered up.

Facing her questioning, Pan Han said impatiently: "I told you a long time ago, working for a rich family, life is good."

"You don't want to lie to me!" The lady of the Pan family didn't believe it, "She hasn't come back for two months."

"Believe it or not!" Pan Hanbai scolded, "Otherwise, where would the money come from to get the medicine for you, a sick man?"

In this way, the momentum intensified, and the two developed from a quarrel to a hand and foot shoving. Pan Han pushed the Pan family's wife to the ground by force, and hit the back of the head on the corner of the bed.

Yin Hong's blood flowed all over the ground, Pan Han thought he had killed himself, he was so frightened that he ran out crookedly.

"Run away?" Ye Huaiyun was a little puzzled after hearing this.

Jiang Linxu nodded, "Probably because I drank too much wine and my mind is not clear."

"What about the Pan Han people now?" Chu Tingyun interrupted.

"Ah?" Jiang Linxu reacted in a daze, scratching his hair in embarrassment, "I'll ask the dark guard to follow!"

In the middle of the night, the medical clinic had already closed, and the shadow guards almost ran all over the city to invite a kind-hearted old doctor who was willing to come to see a doctor.It's just that after taking the pulse and administering acupuncture and medicine, the Pan family's lady's complexion did not improve.

The old doctor sighed and shook his head, "This lady is already weak, but suddenly she was frightened and seriously injured. This old man is really powerless!"

"So what you mean, sir—" Ye Huaiyun frowned slightly, "Is it impossible to save?"

"It's probably true, but it's not sure." The old doctor stretched out his index finger and pointed to the beam, "It depends on God's will."

I thanked the old doctor again and again and sent him away. I don't know how many rounds the watchman has played.

Jiang Linxu understood his complexion very well and said: "I will take care of the lady of the Pan family, brother-in-law and sister-in-law...cough, Your Highness, go and rest quickly."

As he spoke, he pushed the two of them out the door.

As soon as Chu Tingyun stepped out of the door frame, he suddenly stopped and turned his head, tilting his head at Jiang Linxu and smiling a bit, "It's hard——"

Jiang Linxu: "..." As a good brother, shouldn't it be said that you should also rest earlier at this time, and just leave him to the dark guard?

He slammed the door shut, and after the appraisal, his sworn brother was definitely a man who forgets his friends when he sees sex.

Seeing this, Chu Tingyun laughed more flamboyantly, put his arms around Ye Huaiyun's waist presumptuously, and walked into his room.

In the room, Ye Huaiyun lit a candle, and Chu Tingyun took his hand and rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb, which felt like an electric tingling.

The man pushed forward again and said: "We were on the roof just now, and we still have something to do."

Ye Huaiyun's ears burned for no reason, as if his lips still had residual warmth.

Chu Tingyun's eyes were focused, and he leaned over to approach him little by little, and Ye Huaiyun leaned back with two blushes on his cheeks.

Until his long satin hair was about to touch the candlelight behind him, Chu Tingyun suddenly grabbed his head and pressed him into his arms.

Ye Huaiyun only noticed at this moment that his height was only up to the base of Chu Tingyun's ears, and this man could kiss Chu Tingyun's side without bowing his head.

And Chu Tingyun did the same.

In the dead of night, Ye Huaiyun listened to his steady heartbeat, and was just about to relax and get rid of the exhaustion of the whole day, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.

To bother me at such a late hour... probably is not a good thing, it seems that tonight is destined to be troubled.

After getting the consent of the two, the door was gently pushed open a gap, and the person who came in was Boss Li of Fushiju.

Ye Huaiyun had already guessed it, and opened his mouth to ask, "Did you lose me?"

Boss Li immediately nodded guiltily.

In fact, it is not considered lost. Pan Han seriously injured his wife and fled. Jiang Linxu was eager to save others and ignored him. find someone.

"Where's the gambling house?" Ye Huaiyun asked, "Have you looked for it?"

"I've looked for it." Boss Li replied, "But the manager of the casino said he didn't see anyone today."

Ye Huaiyun's eyebrows that had just been flattened were raised again. With the power of Luanxiao Palace, no one was found in the whole city. There is a high probability that the person is no longer in Tongpeng City.

And in the middle of the night, the city gate had already been unlocked, and it was impossible for a drunk to escape by himself.

This time, he left the choice of investigating the case. I'm afraid he made the right decision. This matter...is not easy.

It's just that tonight's luck seems to be a little bit bad. First, the Pan family's wife was seriously injured, and then Pan Han disappeared. At first glance, all suspicious clues were interrupted.

Ye Huaiyun said gently, "Can I trouble Boss Li with one more thing?"

"My lord, you are being polite." Boss Li bowed his body and said, "Please tell me."

Ye Huaiyun said: "Boss Li, please use your contacts in the city to find out which family Pan Xiuxiu was employed by before elope with Zhong Gui?"

"Pan Xiuxiu?" Boss Li thought for a while, "I do know something about her, but I haven't heard of her being hired by any big family."

Ye Huaiyun's eyes lit up. According to what Boss Li said, Pan Xiuxiu is as his name suggests. Because of his excellent embroidery work, he had been working as an embroiderer in the embroidery room in the east of the city.

But about two months ago, she suddenly quit her job in the embroidery studio. The reason was that her mother’s condition deteriorated and she needed to wait for the illness before she collapsed day and night, so she couldn’t spare time to work again.

But just over a month later, it was reported in the city that Pan Xiuxiu and Zhong Gui had eloped. At first, everyone in the city did not believe how a gentle and filial girl could run away with a married man. Many people have seen the two talking and laughing on the street during that time.

After sending off Boss Li, Ye Huaiyun made a series of all the things he experienced in the past two days in his mind.

The wife of Pan's family said that her daughter hadn't been back for two months, but Pan Xiuxiu quit her embroidery work two months ago on the grounds of serving her mother. Pan Han also said that her daughter went to work in a wealthy family, and there must be more than one person lying.

Ye Huaiyun shook a cup of bud-colored fragrant tea. The tea in the cup turned from hot to warm, and then from warm to cold. Chu Tingyun suddenly took the cold porcelain cup away from his hand.

Ye Huaiyun, who was deep in thought, turned his head and heard Chu Tingyun say: "It's getting late, go to bed earlier."

"Go to sleep first." Ye Huaiyun rubbed his forehead tiredly, "I want to deal with this case again."

Naturally, Chu Tingyun would not agree, but asked him instead: "After thinking for so long, do you have a clue?"

Ye Huaiyun shook his head in frustration, he was really confused.

But the next second his eyes were pitch black, and Chu Tingyun covered his eyelashes with his palms, covering the faint candlelight.

"I've already thought of another clue." After Chu Tingyun's low voice fell, he suddenly leaned over and raised his hand, wrapping around Ye Huaiyun's neck, and gradually drowned the second half of the unfinished sentence on his lips.

After the lingering kiss, Ye Huaiyun's breath was slightly unsteady, and he raised his eyes and asked him, "What is it?"

"Why do you still remember the case?" Chu Tingyun's smile deepened suddenly, "Could it be that I don't kiss enough?"

After saying that, his eyes sparkled, and he leaned closer again, but kissed Ye Huaiyun's suddenly raised palm.

Chu Tingyun: "..."

Ye Huaiyun staggered his gaze, "If I can forget things in a short while, I probably have to see a doctor to see if there is something wrong with my brain."

Chu Tingyun pulled down his hand and held it, "Take a good rest tonight, and I'll tell you tomorrow."

Coincidentally, outside the house came the sound of watchmen beating gongs and watchmen in the streets and alleys.

Ye Huaiyun pursed her lips and smiled, "It's past midnight."

So now is the "tomorrow" he just said.

Chu Tingyun: "..."

Ye Huaiyun took the opportunity to ask: "What is the clue you just mentioned?"

"Is there?" Without a moment's hesitation, Chu Tingyun calmly denied, "I'm talking about noon tomorrow."

Ye Huaiyun looked at him righteously, and Chu Tingyun looked back without guilt.

He was almost in admiration of this man's ability to tell lies with his eyes open, and he bowed his eyes away, silently walked to the bedside, ready to take a bath.

The servants brought the boiled hot water and poured it into the bathtub.Chu Tingyun was still sitting at the table, watching him with one hand resting his forehead as he took off his coat and hung it up on the screen. He had no intention of leaving at all, causing Ye Huaiyun to put down his hand that had just touched the belt.

"When are you going to go back to your room?" Ye Huaiyun asked.

Chu Tingyun tilted his head and looked at him with a calm face, "Why should I go back?"

Ye Huaiyun said: "Because Gu wants to take a bath and rest."

"Then I won't be able to go back even more." Chu Tingyun chuckled, his eyes sparkling.

Ye Huaiyun's chest hurts from breathlessness, is this a blatant hooliganism?

Fortunately, Chu Tingyun didn't say anything surprising anymore, instead he opened the screen for him and blocked between the two of them.

Only then did Ye Huaiyun breathe a sigh of relief. Although this person's style of acting was a bit out of the ordinary, he was a gentleman after all, and he shouldn't do villainous things.So after taking off the last close-fitting shirt, An Xin stepped into the barrel with bare feet.

With the sound of bathing water rushing behind the screen, Chu Tingyun walked to the window. On the opposite roof were the sugar flower cakes and green plum brew left by the two of them just now, and there was a...soft smile on the corners of his lips for no reason.

A moment later, Ye Huaiyun lay down on the bed with his clothes on, and put down the gauze curtain.Chu Tingyun also walked around the screen and washed with the remaining hot water.

Inadvertently, from the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of a strange face reflected on the calm water, and Chu Tingyun was suddenly in a daze.After a long time, he took out the medicine powder for wiping off the contents and poured it into his hand, and took another handful of water to wash off the layer of skin covering his face that did not belong to him.

It was probably too late, when he finished tidying up and walked to the side of the bed, Ye Huaiyun's breathing was even and long, Chu Tingyun smiled, and stuffed the exposed hand into the quilt.
