The two of them felt very conscious of being tied up. When they saw the people coming into the yard, they immediately stopped what they were doing.
There were two attendants beside the goddaughter, one male and one female. The male looked up at them fiercely, then inspected the entire courtyard, even kicking away all the burnt meat on the fire.
After a week of patrolling, they found no clues, so they went back to report to their goddaughter. The goddaughter looked in the direction of Lan Yunyi and recited a spell. Lan Yuanzhou and Lan Yunyi fainted.
Two attendants carried the two of them into the carriage.
The carriage was rattling and it was not clear where it was going.

When Yan Yinxiao rode his horse, he rode through the streets and alleys of the capital with great joy. At every turn, he could pass by the boys carrying the dowry and betrothal gifts, and the smile on his face widened even more.
He found that he wanted to see Lan Yunyi all the time.
So he rode faster, but when he arrived at the so-called sedan chair, his first reaction was that the person inside was not Lan Yunyi.
Because Lan Yunyi said that she would fold a magnolia flower and tie it to her sedan chair.
Yan Yinxiao's originally smiling face suddenly darkened. He forced the sedan to stop and made sure that the person inside was not Lan Yunyi.
After half a stick of incense, I learned that there was no figure of Lan Yunyi in another sedan chair in the capital. These people were all getting married today.
When the two sedan chairs met, those accompanying them inexplicably went the wrong way.
Are there really that many coincidences?
Yan Yinxiao smiled and took everyone who was getting married today into a violent room, and sent people to interrogate them severely.
He knew something had happened to Yunyi.
He was anxious, but he couldn't panic, because he knew that Yunyi still needed him, and was still somewhere, trying his best to survive, waiting for him.
Yan Yinxiao started from Qingyun Temple and followed the road from Qingyun Temple to Prince Yu's Mansion three times before he found traces of pearls scattered occasionally on the road.
Then he left the city and chased him to the courtyard.
When Yan Yinxiao felt the courtyard, he hadn't even changed into his wedding clothes, and the big red bouquet was still hanging on his chest.
At this time, he looked embarrassed and panicked.
"Report to the master, everything here has been burned, completely clean, nothing can be found!"
Yan Yinxiao listened to the guard's report, slowly closed his eyes, and then spoke in an orderly manner.
"First, tell several of Yunyi's masters and all the senior brothers and sisters about this matter and the location of this courtyard. Second, bring all the troops out and search outside the capital, no matter by water or land.
Let it go. Third, call Shi Song back, ask Shi Song to draw a portrait of the princess, and search each level one by one."
After Yan Yinxiao finished speaking, all the guards present knelt down.
"Master! No! The troops have been deployed. If we move out of the capital at this moment, we may be discovered by the emperor immediately."
When Yan Yinxiao heard this, his face completely sank.
"Do I still need you to teach me how to do things? She is my life and everything to me."
Yan Yinxiao roared, his originally calm expression cracked in an instant, revealing his pain, despair and sorrow.
After he finished speaking, the guard slowly lowered his head and retreated silently.
Yan Yinxiao no longer paid attention to the guards, but carefully observed the courtyard. He touched the burned ashes in the middle of the courtyard with his hand. There was no warmth on the ashes, which proved that the person had been gone for a long time.
Yan Yinxiao just stroked her again and again, as if he wanted to touch Lan Yunyi's face.
He needs a breather to calm down, just calm down.
Although Yan Yinxiao closed his eyes, even though it was only for a breath, tears welled up from his eyes.
It was because he was too impatient, because he wanted to become Yunyi's husband and someone who could stay with her for the rest of his life.
That's why Yunyi was kidnapped today.
But before Yan Yinxiao could cry for a while, he touched a hard object in the ashes, like a piece of burnt flesh.
He slowly opened his eyes and slowly lifted the piece of meat to his eyes for a closer look.
Then he frowned and broke off the piece of meat along the lines.
I saw only one word written on the piece of meat.
Yan Yinxiao recognized it, it was Lan Yunyi's handwriting!
There was just one word written inside.
Beijing
He stood up the next moment and ordered the guards in a deep voice: "There is no need to withdraw the soldiers lurking in the capital. We will return to the capital immediately to search."
Since Repin escaped, the checkpoints around the capital have been very strict, and Yan Yinxiao's spies are ambushed everywhere.
That group of people had a relationship with Repin, so they naturally knew that the gates leading out of the capital were held by soldiers, making it easier to travel, and Yan Yinxiao's manpower was added to places outside the capital.
There were many of them, including Lan Yunyi and Lan Yuanzhou, and their goals were very big. Naturally, they would not choose to take risks, but played a trick of darkness.
Deliberately leaving the city, leaving traces of temporary residence in the suburbs, returning to the city, waiting for ten days and a half, and then leaving the city again after the news subsided.
And she must be dealt with after leaving the city, probably because taking out her heart requires a certain environment or equipment, so she can only be allowed to pass.
This was just Lan Yunyi's guess, but she still placed clues in the pile of meat.

royal palace
Emperor Qi has been in poor health recently, to the point where he can't get up from his bed.
He held back the salty feeling in his chest, picked up the handkerchief and coughed twice.
As soon as he removed the veil, he saw a dazzling red color inside the veil. His expression was solemn and did not change much, but he grabbed the quilt on his body in an instant.
"Your Majesty, Wanru is here to deliver medicine to you."
Lan Wanru knocked on the door outside and stepped into the hall cautiously. Her left hand was wrapped in thick gauze, and her face looked pale, as if she had lost her soul.
She used to be the one who drank human blood, lived a luxurious life, and was sought after by thousands of people.
Even after entering the palace, she became the most beloved princess of Emperor Qi. She was respected by everyone, even below one person and above ten thousand people. Even the former Princess Zhaoyang, who was so arrogant and domineering,
It can be seen that when you see her, you have to bow calmly.
Just like that, she thought her good days had come and she would no longer have to suffer. But since she was sent back to the palace by her second brother, she had been forced to cut her wrists to collect blood for the emperor to drink these days.
She didn't know why the emperor wanted to drink her blood. She only knew the feeling of being forced to cut her wrists to get blood. It was too painful.
She could clearly feel that her life was passing by, and the days in front of her were getting darker and darker. She was so weak that she couldn't even hold the bowl steady.
But the emperor's demand increased, from one bowl a day to two bowls, and then to three bowls.
After thinking about it, Lan Wanru put away her resentful expression and handed the warm blood to Emperor Qi's side.
"Is this your blood?" Emperor Qi turned to look at her, with a hint of sinisterness in his numb expression.
Lan Wanru was so frightened that she trembled all over.
