She subconsciously wanted to go out, but Zhou Ziqiu, who was sitting beside her, secretly held her back and controlled her movements.

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous!" The emperor raised his voice, and finally slammed his fist on the table, causing the fruit on the plate to scatter and roll, and the red fruit rolled to the kneeling guard, "You just watch the thief Escape from the capital? This is how the Dianqian Secretary behaves!"

The forbidden soldier lowered his head, not daring to wipe the sweat off his face, for fear of being hurt by anger.

"Where did the culprit escape?" The emperor breathed for a while, forcibly shaking his emotions, and said angrily.

"Return to Your Majesty, and fled to the south. The commander of the capital has personally led people to arrest him, and distributed notices everywhere, ordering all state capitals to take precautions together."

"Not only to the south, but also to conduct a comprehensive search around Bianjing. I don't think they will be far away. Remember, except for the thief, you must find the girl from the Ye family. If you are alive, you must see the person, and if you die, you must see the corpse! Tell me if there is any difference. .” The emperor said word by word.

"Emperor brother, my son, my son..." The eldest princess Xuanran knelt beside the emperor's knee, crying out of breath.

The emperor glanced at her, stretched out his hand to help her up, and continued: "We found Wei Yanei."

The forbidden soldier hastily led the order to retreat, and left as if fleeing. He just left on his front feet, but came back with something on his back feet, and knelt down on one knee again.

"What change?" the emperor asked, staring at the things in his hand.

"This was sent by my subordinates just now. It is said that it was found next to the wedding sedan chair. It seems that it belongs to the daughter of the Ye family."

As he said, he presented an arrow that had been broken from the middle, and the wooden pole was stained with a few patches of red, "According to the guards who witnessed it, the daughter of the Ye family was hit by an arrow in the back."

Ci Ke covered his mouth violently to keep himself from screaming, while his other hand tightly held Zhou Ziqiu's palm, his body was swaying.

The emperor nodded, looking at his expression, he seemed to relax a little, and then waved his hand: "Go, inform the Duke's mansion, and say that I will find their daughter for them, so that they can rest easy."

The forbidden soldiers led the order to leave, and the wedding was forced to be interrupted. After a few words of comfort to the eldest princess, the emperor got up and left the hall, not knowing where he went.

Ci Ke finally let go, took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, his breathing was short and his eyes were empty.

Ye Youqing... She said it over and over again in her heart, so as to calm down her frantically beating and falling heart.

This is her plan, she will be fine.

But how could she design to hurt herself? There must be some accident. The blood is real. What happened?

Ci Ke got up slowly, walked towards the blood-stained broken sword that was thrown on the ground, and reached out to pick it up regardless of the dirt.

The eldest princess had already been helped back to the room by the servants, and the others followed to comfort her. The hall was soon deserted, and no one saw Ci Ke's red eyes, and her movement of holding the broken arrow in her hand regardless of the dirt.

"Ci Ke..." Zhou Ziqiu frowned and stepped forward, only to see the woman in front of him suddenly drop the broken arrow, get up and run out of the gate, into the hot sunlight outside.

"Ci Ke!" Zhou Ziqiu raised his eyebrows, seeing that Ci Ke ignored him, he hurriedly pushed aside the palace servants who stepped forward to dissuade him, and chased after him with his skirt in hand.

Ci Ke's pink clothes billowed and swayed like clouds and mist behind her. She walked very fast, and quickly ran to the gate of the Wei Mansion.

"Miss Ci Ke, the holy decree, the capital is not safe now, please stay here and return to the palace after the investigation of the capital is completed." The forbidden soldier clasped his fists and said.

"Get out of the way!" Ci Ke exhausted all his strength to push the forbidden soldiers aside, but he was blocked by dozens of people stretching out their arms.

"Miss Ci Ke, it's dangerous outside." The guard still said.

"I tell you to go away!" Ci Ke, who was always gentle and gentle, showed a bit of madness for the first time. She suddenly snatched a long knife from a man, and put her hands on the leader's neck.

Frightened by her sudden movement, they were speechless for a moment, looked at each other in blank dismay, and couldn't help but move their feet, leaving a gap for her to pass through.

Ci Ke's hands were trembling, she dropped the knife and wanted to leave, but heard hurried footsteps behind her.

Looking back, Zhou Ziqiu was panting and stopped, his heavy hair crown was a bit askew, his beautiful cheeks were hot from the sun, and his jade fingers lifted the cloud temples that blocked his face.

"Aunt..." Ci Ke put away his mad look, put his hands behind his back, and clenched the corners of his clothes.

Zhou Ziqiu glanced at her, turned around and waved behind him, and saw the white-faced servant riding a fast horse swaying forward, got off the horse, and handed the reins to Ci Ke.

"Miss Ci Ke, it's ready." The white-faced waiter said in a soft voice with a bit of worry.

Ci Ke took the rein in a daze, watching the horse snort at her, and then the bridge of his nose suddenly became sore.

She glanced at Zhou Ziqiu with tears in her eyes, and Zhou Ziqiu gave him a relieved smile. Then she pulled the rein, got on the horse neatly, and left in a hurry after the crisp "drive".

Zhou Ziqiu's red lips slowly drooped, and the smile only remained in her eyes. She took a few steps forward, stood inside the high wall of the deep house, and watched Ci Ke go away in the empty street.

"Follow up and protect her." Zhou Ziqiu murmured, and the forbidden soldiers left after hearing this.

Although her figure is luxurious, she looks a little lonely, and the white-faced servant beside her asked in a low voice: "Madam, do we need to wait for Miss Ci Ke to come back before returning to the palace?"

Zhou Ziqiu shook his head: "No need."

The earth at noon is like a steamer, with charcoal fire on top of her head, sizzling and burning, and her back is scorching hot in a short time, but Ci Ke can't feel the heat. He saw the red silk with gongs and drums scattered all over the ground, the abandoned wedding sedan chair, and the broken carriage.

The lively scene in the morning is long gone, the festive silk falls to the ground, and the red cloth is crushed by horseshoes, which is weird and desolate.

Before the horse stopped, Ci Ke fell to the ground, almost fell, stumbled a few steps, and stood beside the carriage that had been hacked several times and had countless deep pits.

It can be seen how dire the situation is, she clutched her heart tightly, and rummaged around in a hurry, trying to find some traces of Ye Youqing's safety, but when she turned her eyes, she saw something flickering on the ground.

She stepped forward a few steps, holding the thing in her palm, the silver light was shining, bloodstained, and it was broken in two from the middle.

It is Ye Youqing's willow leaf hairpin.

"No, don't..." She clenched the icy hairpin tightly, and the tears she had been holding back with all her might flowed unconsciously.

"Ye Youqing, I'm sorry." She lowered her head and whimpered, sobbing in panic, regret struck her, she only felt that her heart was about to be broken, numb with pain.

What she did, she turned her down, has yet to be explained.

Now that her life and death are unknown, she must hate her to death.

Ci Ke's mind was in a mess, and his body fell to the side, but just before landing, he was supported by a pair of strong and slender hands.

"Ci Ke." The voice was gentle.

At the same time, on the outskirts of Bianjing, inside the smelly courtyard and messy hut, a faint bloody smell that was different from the outside permeated the air.

"Hurry up, hurry up, stop the bleeding!" The burly man put the blood-covered woman on the bed, knocked over the low table in a hurry, and the debris on the table fell to the ground.

"Brother, don't get in the way!" Ma Xiao pushed the tall Ma Da who took up half of the room out the door, and slammed it shut, leaving only her and the unconscious Ye Youqing in the room.

She didn't look very calm, it was because the woman's wound was too serious, although it was not life-threatening, it was full of blood, and now she had taken off the wedding dress that was in the way, but the white shirt inside had already been stained dark red, it was shocking.

Ma Xiao let out two breaths, rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand to drag Ye Youqing's shirt off, and the hideous wound hit his eyes.

On the originally smooth and tender back, a blood hole was being pierced by the arrow. Half of the arrow still remained in the body, and the surrounding blood had already solidified, but this meant that if he wanted to take out the arrow, he had to tear the wound again.

Although Ma Xiao can beat the iron block hard, but seeing such a young lady suffering from such a torture, she couldn't help but soften her hands, and she didn't dare to pull it out, so she could only call out the door: "Second brother, may I invite a doctor? "

"Right now, the whole city is searching and arresting, doctor, are you waiting for the whole city to know about it?" Ma Er outside the door whispered.

Ma Xiao let out a mournful cry, then trembled, holding the hemostatic medicine in one hand, and the bloody arrow in the other, exerting a little force, but hearing the woman's painful groan, he absolutely dared not move again.

"What should I do?" She was at a loss.

When he was in a hurry, he suddenly heard that there were two more people outside the door. After a few simple conversations, the wooden door was knocked open, and a woman staggered in, kneeling beside Ye Youqing's bed.

"Ye Youqing..." The woman's dress was disheveled, her hair was blown in all directions by the wind, her eyes were as clear as the tip of her nose, as if she had just cried bitterly.

She didn't know whether she was relieved or flustered, she stumbled when she spoke, and reached out to touch Ye Youqing's hand, but she shrank in fright from its coldness.

That pair of eyes stared at the dried blood behind Ye Youqing, and suddenly turned around: "Where's the hemostatic medicine?"

Shili who followed behind nodded to Ma Xiao, and Ma Xiao, who was stunned, quickly took out a can of hemostatic medicine and stuffed it into the woman's hand.

Ci Ke reached out to remove the stopper of the cupping jar, but couldn't remove it because his fingertips trembled a few times, and finally slapped his hand hard on his body to stop the trembling, and poured the hemostatic medicine on the clean cotton cloth.

Ye Youqing murmured in pain at this moment, she was lying on the bed, her shoulders were bare, she looked much thinner than usual.

Ye Youqing, who has been protecting her all the time, is just a woman of her age.Ci Ke swallowed regretfully, and squatted by her lips.

"It hurts..." Ye Youqing's voice was weak, and her voice in a coma sounded a little different from usual. She stretched out her hand covered in cold sweat, and Ci Ke put his soft palm inside.

"All right." Ci Ke said in her most gentle voice.

"I'll be with you." Ci Ke endured the tears that were about to burst out, then got up, tore off his coat, rolled up the corners of his coat, and stuffed it into Ye Youqing's mouth.

Then he lowered his head and pressed Ye Youqing's hands, raised his eyes to look at Shili, Shili understood, stepped forward to hold the arrow, and pulled it out unexpectedly, only heard a snort, blood spattered, and almost a few drops fell on those who were close.

Ci Ke was the most distressed, her cheeks were flushed, but she didn't hide.

At the same time, Ye Youqing, who was still in a coma just now, seemed to be awakened by the pain immediately, pushing and struggling with his hands, while Ma Xiao hurriedly pressed the cotton cloth stained with hemostatic medicine on the wound to stop the blood from continuing to flow.

Painful whimpers sounded, Ye Youqing spat out the coat in her mouth at some point, and bit her tongue. When she cleared her mouth, she opened her mouth and bit her forearm.

"Ci Ke!" Shi Li hurried forward, but Ci Ke shook his head to stop him.

She frowned slightly, as if she didn't feel any pain, and gently patted the back of Ye Youqing's head with her spare hand, slowly and gently.

The strength in Ye Youqing's mouth gradually became weaker, and the blood from the wound stopped gushing, but slowly condensed. After an unknown amount of time, Ye Youqing, who had been trembling, finally stopped moving.

Everyone present was relieved, and Ma Xiao sat down beside him, only then did he dare to wipe the sweat off his cheeks.

"Fortunately, Miss Ye told me to wait in advance, and bought all the medicines for the spirit of alcohol, otherwise my eyes would be smeared!" Ma Xiaoxiao said, pulling out the gauze that was torn into long strips, and bandaging Ye Youqing's wound.

Ci Ke took the gauze from her hand and said softly, "I'll do it."

Ma Xiao wanted to say something, but Shi Li patted him on the shoulder, so he immediately fell silent and followed Shi Li out the door.

"Let's go make some blood-enriching soup." Shi Li blinked at Ci Ke, and the wooden door creaked shut.

There were only two people left in the room, Ci Ke slowly withdrew his arm from Ye Youqing's mouth, his eyebrows were frowned, and he took a deep breath, there were two rows of tooth marks on it, blood had already flowed out.

She didn't care, but sprinkled some medicine casually, then sat on the couch, carefully lifted Ye Youqing's upper body, hugged her in her arms, dragged the basin beside her, dipped a cotton cloth in water, and wiped Ye Youqing's body. Wipe the blood off your shoulders.

The fair skin was gradually revealed, and the bony and thin back was right in front of her eyes, and Ye Youqing's face was placed on her shoulders, still icy cold.

Ci Ke's tears just rolled down, she sniffed her nose, wiped away the tears, still methodically wiped Ye Youqing's wound, disinfected it with spirits, finally applied the wound medicine, and slowly wrapped it with gauze.

She looked down at Ye Youqing's pale lips, sat there for a long time, and said softly: "Do you hate me?"

Naturally, no one answered her, so she reached out to wipe away her tears, put a thin quilt on Ye Youqing's shoulders, then dipped her fingers in water, and smeared Ye Youqing's chapped lips.

"What to do, I can't leave you."

The two stayed together for a long time, Ye Youqing's body gradually warmed up, no longer as cold as a dead person, but his body began to tremble again.

The door was knocked open, Shili walked in, put down a small bowl, put his hand on Ye Youqing's wrist, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, it's just that I lost a lot of blood, this bowl of medicine contains high-quality ginseng, she must drink it. "

After that, she sighed, turned and left.

Ci Ke pursed his lips, picked up the soup spoon, scooped up the brown medicine, tested the temperature, then turned Ye Youqing over with one hand, let her half lie in her arms, and poured the soup into her mouth.

He only heard a few dry coughs, and all the soup in his mouth was coughed out.

Ci Ke had a distressed look on her brows, she didn't know what to do for a while, she raised her eyes to check the door, it was closed tightly.

So as if making up his mind, he picked up the bowl and took a sip, then bent down and paused for a moment.

Then he pressed those pale lips, and the bitter medicinal juice flowed into her mouth along the tight skin of the two of them.

Ye Youqing seemed to dislike bitterness very much, and still wanted to spit it out, so in confusion, the tip of Qingku's soft tongue touched Ci Ke's lips.
