"Ci Ke?" Ye Youqing was taken aback, and then pressed her hand, "Don't panic, what happened? Isn't Ci Ke in the Qin Mansion?"

Ji Anan sobbed, and took several deep breaths before she could answer calmly. She kept shaking her head and said, "After the birthday banquet that day, Ci Ke was sent to Ji's house by General Qin. Now it's the eldest lady, and the eldest lady wants To punish her, she has already tied her up!"

Ji family?What's going on here, Ye Youqing was puzzled, but he couldn't hold back Ji Anan's crying, so he had to follow her a few steps forward.

Just as she was about to turn around and give orders, Shili was already standing beside her, with a faint hostility in her rarely sober eyes.

"I'll go with you." Shili's voice was like old wine, thick and pleasant, as he spoke, he lifted up his robe, as if pulling out a sharp knife with a cold light from his leg.

Ye Youqing saw that she was about to start a killing spree, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold down the hilt of her knife, and said seriously: "You can go, you must not do it casually without me asking."

Shili pursed his lips and looked at Ye Youqing for a while, then spread his hands, put the knife back into the pocket on his lap, and said in a low voice, "As an apprentice, I dare to behave wildly in front of the master."

However, there are many advantages to carrying ten miles, for example, it takes one stick of incense to walk, and under the influence of ten miles to pick up the two of them one by one and run wildly, the three of them are already standing in front of Ji's mansion without the effort of half a stick of incense.

Just a little dizzy, Ye Youqing supported the door frame, thinking with his eyes closed.

Along the way, she figured out what had happened in the past few days through Ji Anan's half-sobbing and half-crying narration. It turned out that Qin Wang had some kind of convulsion, and he sent Ci Ke out of the mansion that night after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. , sent back to Ji's door.

And after Ci Ke was sent into slavery, he was bought into the Ji family as a maidservant, and was bullied all the time in the Ji family. It was not until three years later that the imperial concubine was out of the cold palace that she was secretly taken out of the Ji mansion and brought into In the palace, and later, he left the palace and entered Qin Wang's mansion, and stayed by Qin Wang's side to serve him.

"The two of them are my guests." Ji Anan wiped away tears, and said softly to the guard at the gate. The guard looked at each other and said Miss San, and then opened the door. Ji Anan pulled Ye Youqing Quickly ran in.

While Ye Youqing ran with her, some broken plots that he had forgotten before slowly emerged in his mind.

How did Ci Ke die?

It was some time after the original owner married Qin Wang, Qin Wang finally saw Ci Ke's "insidious" face, and sent her out of the mansion. After that, the original owner hadn't seen Ci Ke for a long time.

It was only later that I heard that Ci Ke had a miserable life, was seriously injured, and nearly lost his life.

Then, a noble concubine in the palace died in the palace. One evening, Ci Ke entered the palace somehow. Perhaps in despair, he set a fire in the Qiushui Palace and jumped in.

Thinking of the scene of Ci Ke looking back and smiling at her in the dream, Ye Youqing suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"So why did the lady target Ci Ke?" Ye Youqing suddenly asked quickly.

"Back when Ci Ke was still working here as a maidservant, she was taken by the eldest wife's son, who is also my elder brother, and insisted on accepting her as a concubine. Naturally, Ci Ke refused to do so. Fortunately, the noble concubine was out of the cold palace at that time. I beg the emperor to issue a decree to bring Ci Ke into the palace, and this is how I escaped disaster." Ji Anan replied in a low voice, avoiding the servant girl passing by in the house.

"But this time, little general Qin sent her back to Ji's mansion directly, that is, sending the sheep to the tiger's mouth. After Ci Ke entered the mansion, she was isolated and helpless. For some reason, she was strictly guarded and she was not allowed to step out of the mansion."

"And I'm powerless to help her. I wanted to go to the palace and tell the noble concubine, but I'm just a concubine, so I can't see the noble concubine at all." Ji Anan led the two of them across the neatly manicured lawn, around the waterside pavilion by the lake , panting, "I just got the news this morning. My elder brother is still ruthless. He wanted to continue to approach Ci Ke, but he was stabbed by Ci Ke, just yesterday."

"So early this morning, I saw the eldest lady handing away the resignation key, saying that she was going to whip the servant who injured the master, so I was in a hurry and could only look for you." Ji Anan finished speaking, clutching his chest , stopped to rest in a courtyard.

Ye Youqing was much better than her, but she was sweating lightly. Looking at Shili, her face was not red and her heart was not beating, and her long legs were stepping over a bush.

Ye Youqing looked around, looking for Ci Ke's trace, but he couldn't see anyone.

"Where is she?" Xu Shi couldn't see anyone, and remembered the cause of Ci Ke's death, so the worry in his heart became more intense.

"I was still here just now, how come I don't see you, maybe..." Ji Anan suddenly became anxious, with tears in his eyes, and shouted loudly into the courtyard, "Ci Ke! Ci Ke!"

Ye Youqing frowned, and suddenly turned over the bushes and walked to the center of the courtyard. He looked back and looked around, but saw the ten miles squatting beside him, laying his pretty shoulders on the ground, and putting his ears on the ground.

"There." Shili suddenly raised his eyes and said in a low voice.

At the same time, next to a dry well in the backyard, the place seemed to be deserted, the ground was overgrown with weeds, a thick log stood in the center, and an armchair was placed in a fairly clean place. A middle-aged woman sat on it, Pick up a candied fruit between fingertips with nails.

"Stop talking nonsense, tie up this black-hearted servant girl." The woman said impatiently, while spitting the leftover fruit core into the hands of the servant girl beside her.

"Yes, Da Furen." Hearing this, several strong women stepped forward and grabbed Ci Ke, dragged her to the pillar, and hurriedly untied the hemp rope.

"It's unlucky that a handmaiden who has no power to restrain you can make you like this!" The woman glanced at the women in distaste.

And those women lowered their heads, dared not speak out, and felt wronged in their hearts. This girl is not a powerless person. She beat them up, and now they are more or less hanged. Even a few strands of hair were torn off.

Thinking about it this way, the attack was even more serious, the hemp rope tied the woman's wrist, and the white wrist was almost strangled with blood, Ci Ke suffered from pain, but gritted her teeth and said nothing.

She raised her eyelashes, her brown eyes were full of ice, staring at the middle-aged woman in front of her with contempt and hatred.

"You still dare to stare at me!" The woman was furious when she saw her, and suddenly threw the candied fruit in her hand at Ci Ke, hitting her hard, and then rolled to the ground with crackling noises.

"How dare I keep you in the mansion and hurt Xuan'er, you kind of a vixen who hurts people everywhere. I think you don't want to live anymore!" She is bound!"

"Do you think that I dare not touch you because there is someone backing you in the palace? Anyway, you are a slave of my Jifu, the daughter of a guilty minister." The middle-aged woman said, waving her hand, signaling to the wives to do it.

Ci Ke bit her lips tightly, staring at the women in front of her who took out a horsewhip, she suddenly sneered, her voice soft and sarcastic: "Whoever made your son want to do anything wrong is his own debauchery."

Ci Ke knew that he would be beaten no matter what, so he didn't want to swallow his anger anymore, and his voice gradually became clearer: "You actually fell in love with a servant of mine, if it wasn't for him, you would come to him, how could I hurt him? Don't blame him for being indiscreet, Instead, you want to punish me, you are as thick-skinned as your son!"

"Shut up!" The middle-aged woman didn't expect her to be so bold, she yelled suddenly, stood up, and took a few steps towards Ci Ke, "If you hadn't seduced him, how could he be seduced by a lowly person like you! "

Hearing this, Ci Ke suddenly laughed out loud, his voice was like a melodious bell, stagnant with a unique style, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened his lips sarcastically and said: "He made a mistake because of a woman's bewitching? If your son is so obedient, I will Calling you an idiot now, let him say something too."

"You, you!" The woman waved her fat arms, pointed at Ci Ke and screamed, "Hit me, hit me to death!"

Seeing that his wife was angry, the women didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried forward with the whip, but unexpectedly, Ci Ke, who was still calm just now, broke free from the knot at some point, and kicked a person in the abdomen, and only heard a few miserable sounds. Yelling, the backyard was in chaos again.

However, no matter how hard Ci Ke struggled, he couldn't defeat so many people. What's more, helpers came from nowhere. More than a dozen maidservants surrounded Ci Ke one after another, and pressed her to the ground in a hurry. A pinch on the shoulder made Ci Ke almost shed tears in pain, but she didn't say a word, just staring at the middle-aged woman.

Seeing the woman until her back was sweating, she hurriedly took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, threw it to the maid present, and said sharply: "Block her eyes and make her look like a goblin, who knows if it will absorb Yang Qi!"

Somebody lifted her head up high, and the veil tightly covered her eyes. Then, her body was uncontrollably dragged back to the position of the pillar again, and the hemp rope was wrapped tightly around her body.

Ci Ke was almost out of strength, so she stopped struggling. She looked up at the sky above her head, but she could only see darkness.

She had already found some clues about Qin Wang, sorted them all out, and entrusted them to Ji Anan. One day those things would reach her aunt, and she hoped that her aunt could use them to bring justice to the Zhou family.

Qin Wang's distrust came faster than expected, and his viciousness was as expected, without giving her a chance to breathe, she should be dying.

Accompanied by the loud and vicious abuse, the sound of the wind piercing the air, and the whirring sound of the horsewhip in mid-air, hearing that it was getting closer, Ci Ke held back the fear in his heart, closed his eyes and waited.

But no pain.

The sound of the wind also disappeared, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and the scolding voices also disappeared, but then there were screams of fear from the women, and then, she suddenly felt her wrist loosen.

The person slipped down involuntarily, and sat slumped on the ground. At the same time, the cover on the eyes was suddenly taken away. The moment the strong light hit the eyeballs, Ci Ke saw a slender figure standing not far in front of him.

I don't know if it was because the sky was too strong, but the bridge of her nose suddenly felt sour, and the figure in front of her eyes became clearer and clearer. The cold woman stood half a foot away with her arms and hands, reaching out to her with a cold and gentle voice.

"Ci Ke, come here."
