Linyuan? It's Qi Yunxiao's courtesy name.
It seems that he did drop the seal accidentally.
She put the seal into her small purse and said to Mu Ying, "I'll keep the things for now. You and Ling Su have worked hard. Go back and have a good rest after you change your duty."
Dusk nodded and stepped aside.
Ling Su stepped forward and continued his report, "Yesterday, when I was changing that person's clothes, I carefully checked him and found nothing suspicious. I didn't find any knives, hidden weapons, or poisons that could harm people. Also, I found some dried red sand in the mud marks on the bottom of his boots. That kind of red sand is only found on a small path on the western outskirts of the city."
Chen Yao raised her eyebrows, "Red sand?"
Ling Su replied, "Yes, I will go to that trail to investigate."
Chen Yao nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Ling Su: "Well, I will do this as soon as possible before the person wakes up."
Chen Yao pursed her lips and analyzed, "So, from that perspective, this person doesn't seem to have any obvious intentions of attacking or ambushing us. After all, no thief would be so confident as to break into the Marquis's Mansion alone without even a weapon."
Ling Su nodded, "That's right. When we found him, he was already injured, exhausted and unconscious. Before that, there was no sound of fighting in the mansion, which shows that the injuries he suffered were not incurred in the Marquis' Mansion."
Chen Yao: "Yeah, that's right. After he wakes up, we'll ask him carefully and see what he says."
Ling Su clasped his fists and said, "I understand."
At this moment, a golden light shone over. Chen Yao squinted her eyes slightly, looked up at the rising sun, and said, "It's still early. I'll go in and see that person before I leave."
Ling Su agreed and led her inside. He went into the inner room first, but suddenly paused, hesitating slightly. "Miss, although this man is not a thief... he is still an outsider. Do you really want to go in and take a look?"
Xichun and Yuezhu also looked at her.
Chen Yao rolled her eyes and smiled, "Now that he hasn't woken up yet, who else would know about this besides heaven, earth, you and me?"
Ling Su choked, "I understand. Please come this way."
The subordinates were very obedient. Chen Yao curved her eyebrows and walked in.
Xichun and Yuezhu whispered to her, "Don't worry, Miss. We will be more strict than Lingsu."
Ling Su: ???
Back room——
A tall and slender man was lying quietly on the large, ancient wooden carved bed.
The black clothes with gold thread outlines that he wore last night had been changed into white inner clothes. The clothes did not wrap his strong and powerful body very evenly, and his shoulder blades and chest, which had been bandaged with fine cloth, were exposed outside the quilt.
Xichun and Yuezhu naturally didn't look at the bed, and Chen Yao just glanced at it casually before looking away.
Ling Su quickly pulled the quilt up, covering the man's body below the neck tightly, leaving not a single part exposed!
"Miss, cough, it's okay." Ling Su said after covering the person tightly.
Chen Yao then raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping across Qi Yunxiao's slightly pale face for a few moments before instructing Ling Su, "When he wakes up, ask the kitchen to make some more nourishing soup and send it over. He'll be well nourished, and then we can let him leave whenever he wants. We've saved him to the end, and we've accomplished a great job."
Ling Su replied, "I'll remember this and do as you say."
Chen Yao hummed nonchalantly, then bent down slightly, moving closer to Qi Yunxiao, whose eyes were tightly closed. She stared at his delicate features with some curiosity, her gaze finally resting on his eyelashes as she whispered, "Those eyelashes are really long."
Xichun didn't hear clearly, so she asked, "Miss, what did you say?"
Chen Yao quickly stood up and said, "Nothing, let's go."
Xichun and Yuezhu replied "yes" and left with Chen Yao.
But just as they walked outside, the man on the bed moved his slender fingertips slightly.
It seems unconscious, yet conscious.
