    By the way, Shuci and the others were sitting on the steps playing cards, and the lights in the palace suddenly lit up one after another, like a fire dragon, accompanied by noises.

    Knowing that the thief had appeared, the four girls put away their cards and stood on tiptoe to peek into the wall. Unfortunately, they could see nothing but the light coming through.

    A guard was heard shouting from inside: "The assassin ran toward the back door, chase him quickly!"

    There was a sound of footsteps.

    Soon the sound came back again.

    "Go to the front door, it's over here!"

    It¡¯s so lively with people calling around.

    Ziyu pinched the bag containing the cards and wondered: "Did we catch him or not?"

    Shu Ci thought: "No."

    As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black shadow passing over his head, tapping lightly on the eaves, and heading north of the street, followed closely by Wen Ming.

    She quickly reminded Yan Shuyue: "Look, look, it's my brother-in-law, he's alive and kicking, he's not injured."

    Being able to get out of the palace smoothly, it seems that this thief's kung fu is above and beyond.  Shen Yi naturally had no hope for Wen Ming, but since Gao Yuan couldn't catch him, he must be a difficult character, so he thought about it for a while.

    Ever since the first glimpse, Shu Ci had always felt that the snitch looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. While he was still thinking about it, his clothes were flying in front of his eyes, and he saw Shen Yi spinning up and chasing after him.  Went on.

    "Eh¡­¡­"

    Ziyu stood on tiptoe with her in surprise and asked, "Are thieves able to catch thieves these days?"

    The night is getting thick above our heads, and there are still night markets in every corner and street in the capital, and the lights are dim.

    Shen Yi followed that man all the way, flying over the eaves and walking over the walls.  After leaving the city, the other party ran faster and faster, rushing forward. Wen Ming had already been left behind and was still running around in the city.

    Comparing their leg strength, the two of them were equally matched. They probably realized that they couldn't get rid of him. When they reached the moat, the man in black finally stopped and without saying a word, he struck directly at his throat.

    Shen Yi turned sideways to avoid it, and while blocking, he struck with his palms.  He didn't bring any weapons and could easily defeat the enemy with his bare hands.  Although the other party had a knife on his waist, he had no intention of taking it out at this moment, as if he didn't want to hurt him.

    The two of them were fighting each other with fists and kicks, and they exchanged dozens of moves in an instant. Shen Yi made a feint, and when he was dodging, he raised his leg to sweep away. The man in black couldn't avoid it, and took several steps back, standing on the river bank.  He stopped, stood up and looked at him coldly.

    Shen Yi also stopped and met his gaze.

    "Your Excellency is a member of the government. I should not disturb you because you have official business." The man in black had his face covered, and his voice came out through a layer of cloth, which seemed a little blurry.

    Wen Ming had been chasing him before, so he must have regarded himself as an agent of Shuntian Mansion.  Shen Yi didn't explain much and waited for the next step.

    "But I advise you to leave this matter alone."

    He laughed lukewarmly: "How do you say that?"

    The man in black took out a card from his pocket. Different from Wen Ming's, it had the word "Brand" written on it.

    Shen frowned: "Are you a Jin Yiwei?"

    "good."

    This was indeed beyond his expectation, but it was also reasonable. Just think about ordinary thieves, no one had the courage to go to his mansion and steal things.

    Shen Yi sarcastically said: "A dignified Jin Yiwei, do you still do this kind of thing?"

    The man in black did not seem angry, and explained to him in a calm tone: "I am acting on the orders of Mr. Xiao. For the sake of serving the government, I will give you a piece of advice. If you shouldn't interfere, don't interfere. If there is anything,  It's not something you can afford."

    Shen Yi smiled half-heartedly: "That's really a lesson."

    "It's good that you know." Perhaps feeling that his attitude was a bit strange, the man in black looked at him a few more times, "I have to go back and take my leave."

    "Go slowly and don't see me off."

    The other party clasped his fists hastily, turned around and took a long step, disappearing into the night in an instant.

    Shen Yi sneered at the back and walked back slowly.

    He deliberately arrived at the back door of the palace later than Wen Ming, where Shuci and his party had been waiting for a long time.

    "So, you let him run away?" She felt very regretful.

    Wen Ming punched his fist on the wall in annoyance: "I didn't expect that this person has such a high level of Qinggong. I have sent people to guard the streets and alleys, but I actually let him escape."

    "Brother-in-law, don't blame yourself too much There are so many masters in Prince Su's palace, why didn't we catch him?"Two days of work.  If it hadn't been for what happened today, I probably wouldn't have been able to touch his weak point.  "

    Gao Yuan was confused: "Master Xiao's weakness?"

    "He sent people to look for Lu Quan's things. Now that he has obtained them, Lu Quan is of no value to him. When Qiu Hou asks, Xiao Yunhe will have long nights and dreams, so he will definitely kill people these days.  Silence him." Shen Yi raised his chin, "You have to rescue the person before he does it."

    Gao Yuan hurriedly agreed.

    "Remember, secretly place him, we will definitely use this person in the future."

    "I understand."

    Wen Ming's illness can be described as a disease caused by overwork. He lay in bed for several days before he got better.

    Although he still had a glimmer of hope, the snitch never appeared again from that day on. The market quickly returned to its previous calm, and the case gradually fell into disuse.

    Wen Ming sighed after the bamboo basket failed to fetch water. Fortunately, the prince did not blame him too much, so except for a few complaints from the head of Shuntian Mansion, everything was calm.

    There is only one thing that is not satisfactory.

    Yan Shuyue fell ill not long after returning home because of the night wind for several days in a row, and she still had a high fever.

    Her body was born with deficiencies and she had been weak since she was a child. Although she did not get sick often, she would get out of control when she got sick. She was rarely awake and spent most of her time sleeping.

    Mrs. Chen was so anxious that she finally opened her eyes in a daze and opened her mouth to call her mother.

    "Here, mother is here."

    Yan Shuyue spoke with difficulty: "I want to ask you something"

    "You say it, you say it." Chen held her hand, "I will promise you even if it's a hundred."

    She shook her head and said weakly: "Can you, please, don't cancel the Wen family's marriage"

    Shu Ci heard it nearby and was surprised. He didn't expect that she would mention this at this time.

    "Okay, okay." Ms. Chen responded with tears in her eyes without even thinking, "Silly girl, I didn't plan to quit originally. If you like it, I won't object to whoever you marry."

    As if she had received an amnesty, Yan Shuyue quickly fell asleep with satisfaction.

    Mrs. Chen stayed in front of the hospital bed to change her veil and test the temperature, her eyes turned red.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    She was a little surprised: "Mom, you have only rested for two hours. Go get some more sleep. I am here."

    Mrs. Chen frowned, shook her head and said forget it: "I'm so worried that I can't sleep."

    She sat down on the edge of the bed, her tone was exhausted, and it was rare for her to speak gently to her: "You have worked hard these past two days, so take a rest."

    Shu Ci cheered up, "I'll accompany you."

    "It's okay, I don't need you to accompany me." Chen tiredly stretched out his hand to chase her away, "Let's go, let me stay alone for a while."

    Hearing what she said, Shu Ci couldn't hold on any longer, so he had to withdraw slowly.

    When she walked to the door, she turned around and took a look. She felt quite uncomfortable when she saw Mrs. Chen carefully wiping the sweat on Yan Shuyue's head.

    Everyone has rested, and the courtyard is particularly lonely now. Even though the lights in the house are much brighter than usual, there is no excitement at all.

    Shu Ci didn¡¯t go back to his room, but he woke up after being blown by the evening breeze for a while.

    She pushed open the back door, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and slowly sat down on the steps.

    The wild cat wandering nearby slowly approached her, calling softly every step of the way, and finally squatted down next to her, crawling onto her legs with hands and feet to keep warm.

    Shu Ci leaned his head against the wall. When he noticed the movement, he didn't lower his eyes to look at it. He just hugged it into his arms and was lost in thought.

    She didn¡¯t know how long she had been in a daze, but a pebble hit her arm lightly, hitting the cat on the head. The cat woke up from a dream and ran away with a meow.

    Shu Ci came back to his senses and found someone sitting next to him.

    "Why, you're up in the middle of the night, hunting ghosts?"

    She glanced at it and said coolly: "You are the one. You work so diligently every day. The thieves in the world should take you as a role model."

    Shen Yi chuckled: "I told you, I'm not a thief."

    "Anyone wandering out at this late hour is either a traitor or a thief."

    "Whatever you think" He looked behind him, "It's really rare that your house still has the lights on at this time, so we can hunt ghosts together?"

    "Why are we catching ghosts together" Shuci clicked his tongue in disgust, "That's because my sister is sick."

    Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded nonchalantly. He caught a glimpse of her frowning from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but say, "Seeing that you are so worriedare you seriously ill?"

    "That's not true. It's just a common cold and fever." She held up her chin and suddenly sighed, "I'm just jealous of my mother being so kind to my sister."

    The words were ordinary words, and the tone was also ordinary, but when it came out of her mouth, for some reason, it sounded a bit sad and lost.

    Shen Yi's heart softened for no reason and he tilted his head slightly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Seeing her frowning, she couldn't help but say: "Seeing that you are so worriedare you seriously ill?"
