After resigning from the coachman, the three of them bought a new carriage.After dark, they found another post house to live in, and Gong Suyuan left enough silver taels for them, it would be no problem to use them for three to five years.

"So you can't remember anything about the past few days?" Min Rong asked during dinner.

Li Xi still looked ignorant, apparently still suffering from amnesia, "I just remember that I had just finished lighting the stove and preparing to make new medicines, when suddenly a few people broke in and asked me to go with them." She ate as she spoke. A mouthful of potato shreds, "Of course I refused, and then they started. I'm outnumbered. I got hit on the head."

Ye Li lowered her head to eat and didn't speak, she didn't need to think about it to know that she sent those uninvited guests to bring Li Xi back.

However, Min Rong looked thoughtful and curious, "Then do you know who they are?"

"I don't know," Li Xi shook his head, his mouth was full of food, and he was slurring his words, probably because he had been in a coma for a long time and hadn't eaten, and he was so hungry, "I fainted before I figured it out, and then I didn't know anything. I no longer know."

Min Rong smacked her lips, "I don't know what to ask, what's the use of you?"

Li Xi has no time to talk to her, and only cares about his stomach.

Only then did Ye Lan put down the bowl and chopsticks, remembering the small bottle that Bai Rigong Suyuan gave her, took it out and handed it to Li Xi, "Take a look, this is the antidote for poison."

Li Xi raised his eyes and glanced at the bottle, swallowed another mouthful before reluctantly uncorking the bottle, sniffing carefully, "No poison." After finishing speaking, he looked at Ye Lan, who meant Min Rong, Then she looked at Min Rong again, grabbed Min Rong's wrist involuntarily, felt her pulse, "It's the antidote."

Ye Lan was relieved after this, and said to Min Rong, "You take it down."

"What, what is the antidote to poison?" Min Rong was puzzled, "I wondered during the day, did I get poisoned, why did you ask Gong Suyuan for this antidote?"

"Someone took advantage of you and me..." When Ye Li wanted to speak, she felt that the atmosphere around her was not right. Li Xi looked at them with vacant eyes, obviously because she heard Gong Suyuan's name.

"Su Yuan?" she asked, "Have you met Su Yuan? What does this have to do with Su Yuan?"

"Uh..." Min Rong only thought of what Gong Suyuan said to them when she was parting, and she regretted her stupidity for a moment, "It's nothing, it's okay. It's just a coincidence..."

"I don't believe it! I happened to meet her and asked her for the antidote? Tell me quickly, what happened in the past few days, and where is Su Yuan now?"

"She..." Min Rong looked at Ye Lan in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer for a while.

"She's dead." Ye Lan said suddenly, her tone was so calm that she didn't seem to be lying at all.

Min Rong's heart skipped a beat. Knowing that this was not good, she lowered her head and remained silent as an acquiescence.Li Xi stared at Ye Lan in a daze, even though he was extremely unwilling to believe it, a trace of red could not help but creep up in his eyes.

"What did you say?" she demanded tremblingly.

"You are held hostage, and she encountered an accident to save you. I only hope you can live well." Ye Li said.

The chopsticks in Li Xi's hand fell on the table, and he got up suddenly and grabbed Ye Lan's collar, "You lied to me! It's impossible, you lied to me!!"

Ye Li let her get angry, until Li Xi let go of her hand and turned to leave, then she suddenly stood up and stood in front of her, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to find her!"

"Where are you going to find her?!"

"I see people alive and dead, I'll look for her wherever she is! What are you stopping me for?"

Ye Li grabbed her and threw her back on the seat, shouting angrily, "Do you know where she is!"

Li Xi sat slumped, a few tears fell from the corner of his eyes for a long time, "I don't believe it..."

Min Rong and Ye Lan came out of the house, closed the door, and walked for a while under the long corridor of the post house.When the night was bright and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, but the wind was so bright that people were shivering, Ye Lan held Min Rong tightly in her arms, "We left in a hurry this time, I will buy you some clothes on the day of name change. It is best to settle down early , Your body shouldn't be shaking like this now."

Min Rong gave a soft "hmm", "Isn't it bad for us to lie to her like this? I think she is so sad, probably her heart has been hollowed out." Min Rong sighed: "If someone tells me like this , I may not want to live alone for a moment, I just want to..."

Min Rong felt that she probably had a long time in ancient times and was influenced by her achievements, and her speech was full of old-fashioned flavors.But it was all from the bottom of my heart. If something happened to Ye Li, she would probably have packed up and followed her.

"Don't think wildly," Ye Lan patted her on the back, and habitually smoothed out the broken hair that covered her eyes, "Gong Suyuan stayed in the imperial capital, and if she wanted to be an enemy of Wei Shaoqin, she would take every step of the way and escape death. She is like this Lying to Li Xi is also for her sake, she wants Li Xi to live well, so she can't let Li Xi get into danger again. It's good to give up."

Min Rong didn't hold back anymore, and the two went back to the room after standing for a while.When night fell, Ye Lan kept watch over her in a light sleep, one reason was to prevent someone from chasing after them overnight, and the other reason was to prevent Li Xi from thinking about doing things behind their backs.

However, nothing happened all night, only Li Xi probably stayed up all night, when the two of them saw her with swollen eye sockets, she cried several times, and they just bowed their heads in silence when they saw them.

"Have you heard that, the previous night in the imperial capital, an official residence caught fire!"

"I've also heard people talking about this. It's not a small official. I don't know why the house caught fire. The fire was so big that it burned all night. People in the house couldn't come out. Burned to death!"

"..." Ye Li stopped, and the things discussed by passers-by bumped into her heart for no reason, and a deep uneasiness welled up in her heart, which made her palms feel like sweating in an instant.

"What's wrong?" Seeing her stop, Min Rong turned around and asked.

Ye Li glanced at her, but suddenly turned to the passers-by who had just passed by, and chased after them to stop them, "Excuse me, may I ask, do you know which official residence you are talking about just now?"

"I'm not sure about that. I know that the fire was so big that the smoke could be seen for miles outside the city." The passer-by said and looked at Ye Li again, "But if you really want to know, go to the entrance of the town. Ask the drunkard and beggar, I heard that he passed it on."

"What's the matter, you look so ugly?" Min Rong didn't listen to the truth, and couldn't help asking after the passer-by left.

Ye Li shook her head, "It's nothing." She forced a smile, "Let's go."

After all, Ye Li didn't ask the beggar, bought some necessary things and put them in the car, but when she was about to leave, she found that Li Xi was nowhere to be seen.Ye Li had a headache for a while, got out of the car and searched around, but to no avail.

"She didn't really sneak away alone, did she?" Min Rong worried.

Ye Li frowned, "Let's look again, it shouldn't be far."

The town is not big, and the two of them searched around for a while. They thought that Li Xi had really left the town, but they found that she was sitting by the bamboo fence at the gate of the town at some time, with a ragged The guy drank his wine proudly.

"Miss sister, what's on your mind, you might as well say it," the beggar was drunk, and his face was flushed not just because of how much he had drunk, "Say it, let the old man me, be happy, hehehe..."

"I think my Li family has been proficient in medical science for generations, so why, hiccup, I haven't made a medicine that can bring people back to life." Li Xi held his forehead, "But it's useless, I don't even have her around now. I don't know where."

The beggar still had a smirk on his face, "Dead? It's good to be dead, good to be dead!"

"You man!" Min Rong finally couldn't stand watching from the sidelines any longer, and rushed forward, "Can't you see that others are sad and still laughing! Why are you laughing...!"

Ye Li stopped her, only glanced at the beggar, and then said to Li Xi: "We should go."

"Where are you going? Why should I go with you...I won't go, I won't go..." she said, taking another sip of wine.

Ye Lan stared, "We are entrusted by the palace girl to protect you well. Could it be that you don't listen to her words?"

"Her words? Hahaha, tell me, where is she now?"

"She's dead!"

Li Xi suddenly got up and grabbed her shoulders, shouting with all his strength: "Then where did he die? Where is the body! Where was it buried? Tell me!"

Ye Li met her eyes, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know!"

"You're lying to me!" Li Xi let go of her, eyes flabbergasted, "She's not dead, right? She just doesn't want to see me anymore, she doesn't like me..."

"Li Xi!" Ye Lan said angrily, "Are you going or not?"

"I'm not going! I'm going to find her, I'm going to..."

Ye Li randomly touched her sleeping point, and then supported Li Xi before she fell down.Min Rong looked at her with a look of 'you should have done this long ago', "I'll go and bring the car over."

Ye Lan wanted to call her to stop, but suddenly remembered something, the crowd of onlookers had almost dispersed, and the old beggar was still drinking leisurely, as if the incident just now had nothing to do with him.

"I want to ask you something." Ye Li said to the beggar seeing that Min Rong had walked away.

"Wine enters into sorrow, once drunk relieves a thousand sorrows..."

Ye Lan continued: "The night fire in the imperial capital, which house was burned?"

The beggar laughed a few times, and then stretched out three fingers after he couldn't find the direction, "Zheng Sanpin, Commander of Jinyiwei..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Haha, they're all dead, they're all dead, they're all burned to death..."
