In the middle of the night in Yanjing City, it suddenly rained heavily.

The spring rain is always thin and continuous, as if it can't bear to break the newly bloomed flowers. However, that night, thunder and lightning came suddenly, and the heavy rain came suddenly, and the lanterns under the eaves were all crumbling.

In the stable, Xiaolan raised her hooves uneasily, chopping on the ground irritably, and didn't even look at the fodder in the stone trough, which made the horse boy anxious. This BMW is now the treasure of Old General Ji, so you must watch it carefully, if something goes wrong, Old General Ji will keep it and deny it.

In the birdcage in the yard, Xiaohong was also rattled by the thunder, this time she stopped talking like a human being, and was frightened by the thunder like an ordinary bird. The servant also lifted the birdcage into the house, and the thunder outside was much quieter.

On a dark and cold rainy night, there are no stars in the sky, only thick dark clouds. At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door of the Duke's Mansion.

The concierge was startled, went out to look, and saw a woman standing outside, wearing a cloak, but her whole body was soaked, her hair was almost completely wet, standing in front of her like a soaked chicken.

"This girl?" The concierge frowned. It was so late, who else would come to the Duke's mansion? The woman didn't even recognize her.

The girl raised her face and said: "I, I am Bai Xue, the servant girl next to Miss Jiang's family. I want to see the Duke, and I have something important to tell him!"

Only then did the concierge see clearly that it was indeed Bai Xue beside Jiang Li. Others are not familiar with it, but Jiang Li's words are familiar to the servants of the Duke's Mansion. Apart from Situ Jiuyue, the only person who can enter the Duke's Mansion swaggeringly and has a good relationship with Ji Heng is the Second Miss of the Jiang family.

The concierge pulled Baixue a little further inside, covering the wind and rain outside, and said: "Miss Baixue, your lord is not in the mansion now, I don't know when you will be back. You are all wet, why don't you go in and change your clothes first?" clothes, drink some hot water, so as not to catch cold, it’s raining so hard outside, why did you come here by yourself?”

An indescribable feeling suddenly arose in Bai Xue's heart. Outsiders said that Su Guogong was moody, and even the servants of the Duke's mansion had eyes on the top of their heads, and they never looked at people directly. But in fact, they are not as indifferent as they say outside.

"No... because what I want to say is really important... My little brother, when will the Duke's Mansion come back?"

The concierge asked: "This... the whereabouts of the adults, the children don't know. If Miss Bai Xue wants to wait for someone, go in and wait. The wind and rain are coming in outside."

Accompanied by these words, another gust of wind blew in, and Bai Xue had no choice but to walk inside. Seeing her like this, the concierge greeted another servant, and brought Bai Xue into the Duke's mansion, and went to change clothes first.

Bai Xue got Tong'er's entrustment and ran out by herself. Don't let Jiang Yuanbai know that Jiang Li has a close relationship with the Duke's mansion, so he can't use the carriage in the mansion. At this time, there is no carriage outside. The streets were full of officers and soldiers who were looking for Jiang Li at this moment. Bai Xue walked slowly with an umbrella in her hand. When they got there, they were naturally dripping wet and extremely embarrassed.

After Bai Xue changed her clothes and came out, she stood in the promenade outside the flower garden of the Duke's Mansion, and the servant advised her to wait at ease, but Bai Xue couldn't be at ease no matter what. The worse the weather was, the more worried she was about Jiang Li, not knowing where Jiang Li was.

At this moment, someone called her name suddenly, Bai Xue turned her head and saw that it was Situ Jiuyue.

Situ stayed in the Duke's mansion in September because the raw materials for making drugs were always available in the flower garden of the Duke's mansion, and she had a good relationship with General Ji, so there was no need to shy away from anything. Seeing Bai Xue, Situ Jiuyue wondered, "Why are you here? Are you alone? Where's Jiang Li?"

"Miss Situ!" Bai Xue called out, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, and said, "You are very close to the Duke, but do you know when the Duke will come back?"

"He?" Situ Jiuyue shook his head, "I'm not close to him. Besides, how would I know if he went out to work? It seems that your lady is not here, and you are the only one here." She looked Bai Xue up and down, Bai Xue Although she changed into dry clothes, her hair was still wet. Situ Jiuyue said: "You came here in such a hurry, did you ask Ji Heng for help? Why, your lady is in trouble again?"

Situ was in the pharmacy all day long in September, so naturally he didn't know what happened outside. Besides, in order to protect Jiang Li's reputation, Jiang Yuanbai did not announce that Jiang Li was missing for the time being. Those officers and soldiers would not gossip around, and when Ji Heng was not around, the people in the Duke's Mansion would not go out of their way to investigate this matter.

Bai Xue said: "It's not that I'm in trouble, it's that I'm missing."

Situ Jiuyue paused with a nonchalant expression, looked at Bai Xue, and asked, "Missing?"

"That's right." Bai Xue recounted what happened during the day, and finally said to Situ Jiuyue: "So this matter is really important. The same thing happened to Miss San last time. Although the master asked the officers and soldiers to investigate, there was nothing in the end. It was the Duke who found the private prison of Princess Yongning. The servant thought that with the skills of the Duke's mansion, he might be able to find the girl earlier...Miss Situ, the princess When will the lord return to the mansion?"

Situ Jiuyue's expression turned serious, and he said, "As far as I know, he should have left the city."

Bai Xue was stunned.

"He has something important to do this time, so he probably won't be back for a while. If you want Ji Heng to find someone for you, you can't do it for the time being."

A look of disappointment suddenly appeared on Bai Xue's face.

Situ Jiuyue pondered for a while, and said: "It's not impossible. I'll find a way to tell Ji Heng about this matter, and see how Ji Heng can arrange it. Although he is not in Yanjing City, he may be able to help arrange it. Don't worry, Since the other party came prepared, he deliberately kidnapped your young lady, not just to kill your young lady, otherwise Jiang Li's body should have appeared by now. Besides," she said bluntly, "even if Jiang Li really died unfortunately, even if it was for the friendship of the Duke's mansion, Ji Heng would help her avenge her."

It's better not to say this, after Bai Xue heard it, she became even more nervous.

"You can't help much by staying here, so go back." Situ Jiuyue said: "Although I don't know when Ji Heng will come back, I know that Ji Heng will not come back tonight."

Bai Xue was silent for a moment, knowing that Situ Jiuyue was telling the truth, and it was really useless for her to stay here. And Situ Jiuyue said that he would help her tell Ji Heng about it, and Ji Heng should take action after knowing what happened.

She didn't make a trip in vain.

Bai Xue saluted Situ Jiuyue, thanked him, and left.

After Bai Xue left, Situ Jiuyue returned to the small room next to the pharmacy.

The boy named Ah Zhao can already sit up now, sitting against the bed, although he still can't move by himself, but his mind is very clear.

Ah Zhao was not asleep at the moment, but was awake. Seeing Situ Jiuyue coming in, he smiled and said, "Just now I heard Doctor Situ talking with someone outside, and mentioned the private prison of the Princess Mansion."

"Yes," Situ Jiuyue said, "A friend is missing. Speaking of which, she still has some relationship with you."

Ah Zhao was puzzled.

"At the beginning, she wanted to save her sister, so she asked Ji Heng to help find her whereabouts. Ji Heng found the private prison in the Princess Mansion. She brought you out only for her sister, not wanting to meet you by chance. It can be said that, If it wasn't for her, you would still be in that prison, and you would never see the light of day again."

Ah Zhao was also surprised when he heard the words, and then said: "That... friend, is he missing now?"

"The one who disappeared this morning is still missing."

"As a friend of Dr. Situ, it seems that Dr. Situ doesn't..."

"Sad? Anxious?" Before Ah Zhao could finish speaking, Situ Jiuyue interrupted him. She smiled, but the smile was also cold. It has a special meaning. Instead of worrying about others, it is better to worry about yourself." She took out a needle, "I am such a person, for example, I can save you or kill you."

Ah Zhao was not frightened by her words, but shook his head with a smile.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of my sister." Ah Zhao said, "My sister always taught me in the past, worry about myself and don't worry about others."

"Then your sister is really smart," Situ Jiuyue asked while administering needles to Ah Zhao, "Where is she now?"

Situ Jiuyue looked up after hearing no answer for a long while.

The young man's bright eyes dimmed, as if covered with a layer of gray haze, he said softly: "My sister has passed away."
