I stared blankly at the two jars of wine in front of me. For some reason, He Yun felt very happy. He opened the jar and poured wine for me, and then made a gesture of invitation.

This wine smells extremely mellow, I actually want to taste it very much, but He Yun is sitting opposite me, I must keep my vigilance, and I am extremely incapable of drinking, so it is better not to drink this wine.

I saw that He Yun was pouring wine for himself, so he quickly poured the wine in his glass, and then made a fake drinking gesture.

He Yun looked up, and was about to fill me up again, but I quickly waved my hand to refuse, he was a little disappointed, but he didn't force me to drink the wine in front of him in one go.

I watched him drink one glass after another, but it didn't seem like he was drinking away his worries. His brows were indifferent, and he looked long at the scenery outside the window.

I unconsciously poured myself a glass, the wind outside the window blew on my face, but my mood began to get heavy.

Some things can't be forgotten without deliberately not thinking about them.

After drinking for three rounds, I felt a little drunk. I stood up on the table, hiccupped loudly into the air, and then looked at the blurry figure on the opposite side and said, "I'm sleepy, I have to go back first."

He stood up, and his figure dangled in front of my eyes. I waved my hands a little annoyed, "You don't have to see me off, I know the way." My feet got caught by the table legs, I let out a wail, and threw myself to the ground.

But the pain came unexpectedly, a strong arm dragged me, and I took advantage of the opportunity and sat down on the stool next to me. After I sat down, the situation became a little chaotic. I heard the sound of tables and stools hitting the wall heavily, and then the clear sound of fighting and the noise of the crowd bursting in my ears. I felt very uncomfortable and laborious. Standing up, my head was suddenly hit hard by a heavy object flying from nowhere, and I lost consciousness instantly.

When I woke up, the clearest feeling was the pain in the back of my head, and my eyes were a little blurred. It took me a while to see the scene in front of me clearly.

There was a little girl sitting quietly beside my bed. She was very happy when she saw that I woke up, and she turned around and ran out the door.

After a while, she sat down beside my bed with a bowl of hot soup, and said softly: "Being knocked unconscious by a heavy object is not a trivial matter. The second young master said that there might be blood bruises on the head. This medicine is very bitter, but the girl must drink every drop."

After drinking the medicine, I lay down for a while, feeling a little bit of strength, and then I got out of bed.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw He Yun coming from not far away. I stopped at the door until he walked up to me and asked, "Where are you going?" I didn't realize it.

I glanced at him, feeling a little wary in my heart, and said as a matter of course: "Of course I want to go home." He was silent for a moment, then turned sideways to make way for me, and I walked out when I saw this. After walking for a while, I turned around and said to him who was still there: "I know you saved me, thank you."

Today was a cloudy day, I walked out of He Mansion, shrank my body and walked home, not long after I walked, I met Jian Yu, he looked at me and said: "Miss Wen, your complexion is very bad."

I showed him a not-so-good-looking smile, and he kept silent when he saw this, and after a while he said again: "I'm afraid it will rain heavily today."

Hearing this, I looked up at the gloomy sky and murmured: "Yeah, I'm going home quickly." After I finished speaking, I looked at him and said with a smile: "But my home is a little far away."

I took the umbrella Jian Yu gave me and walked slowly back to the inn. Suddenly, a bean-sized raindrop fell on my eyelids. Before I was in a trance, I heard someone calling my name.

The rain gradually started to fall. Someone rushed to me and grabbed my shoulders with both hands. I staggered and the umbrella in my hand fell to the ground.

I wiped the rain from my eyes, and then I vaguely saw, oh, it turned out to be Li Sha.

I wanted to bend down to pick up the umbrella, but found that I couldn't move. He looked at me and asked, "Where have you been?"

Only then did I come to my senses dully, and quickly explained everything to him roughly, and then said: "I'm sorry, I made you worry again."

Back at the inn, Fu Ya waited anxiously at the door, but Liang Yi was nowhere to be seen.

After seeing that I was safe, Fu Shi told me what happened when I was not around, "Liang Yi had asked me about Princess Nanyang a long time ago, the underground cell in the He Mansion is well connected, a woman almost escaped, but later she came back He was arrested and returned, and He Wu sent nearly all of his men to search for it, so the woman must have a lot of background."

"Then is that woman still in the cell of He Mansion?" I asked hastily after hearing the words.

Fu Ya shook his head and said: "Not here, she was secretly imprisoned in other places, but I overheard someone discussing a place in the cell, called Yun County..."

"What!" I stood up suddenly, and said angrily, "Liang Yi didn't say a word to me, and ran to Yun County to find someone!"

Li Sha heard the words from the side and said: "He just went to hire a carriage. Before he left, he asked me to tell you something, and I realized that you were not in the room."

I hummed when I heard the words, "Even if I got angry with you yesterday, you didn't find out I wasn't there until today, that's too much!"

"Last night, I clearly saw the light in your room, and there was a vague figure moving around." Li Sha looked at me and said.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm obviously not here, so there's no way there's anyone in the room! As for the candlelight, maybe it's the younger one. I've often asked him to do this job these days."

Not long after, Liang Yi came back, and I warmly greeted him and said, "Liang Yi, I'll accompany you to find someone! When are we going to leave?"

He heard the words and said without any nonsense: "I have to make some preparations and set off tomorrow."

That night, when I went back to the house, the room was pitch black. I called the waiter up to light the lamp, and scolded him, "You've only been working hard for a few days, and you've revealed your true colors."

Xiao Er bent over and said while lighting the lamp: "You must remember to tell the girl to do this."

I picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea and said, "Then why did you come over to light the lamp when I wasn't here last night?"

Xiaoer heard the words and said: "Last night, a friend who was not a girl came over and said that he would wait for you in the room. It was not dark at that time, so he asked to light the lamp."

I raised my head in surprise and asked, "My friend? Who is it?"

Xiao Er recalled it for a while, and said: "It is the one who used to come to the inn often, and the girl is very close."

That being said, that person is probably Zheng Xingyue, and she must have been the figure Li Sha saw. She did this, as if pretending that I was still in the room... It seems a bit outrageous to think so, but now that things are going on, she is still Come to me, I don't know why.
