Chapter 455: Chapter 455 Chu Yi Injured

Everything that had happened in the courtyard was unknown to Chu Nanli.

If she knew, she would only harbor even deeper resentment toward the person who had taken action this time.

The incident tonight had also affected many of the servants in the courtyard. They had served diligently and wholeheartedly day in and day out. Today’s event was completely an injustice to them!

Chu Nanli could feel that the carriage had been jostling on the road for at least an hour, taking turns constantly. It was unclear whether the road was difficult or if someone was deliberately taking a circuitous route.

Just as Chu Nanli was struggling with the ropes that bound her, the carriage came to a stop.

As she felt the carriage curtain being lifted, Chu Nanli immediately stopped her movements.

All she could perceive was being taken into a building, and the black cloth that had been covering her eyes was finally removed.

Before she could adjust to the suddenly bright surroundings, the man in black who had brought her in turned and left at once, and what followed was the sound of a heavy lock falling into place.

Even though she was very worried about the situation outside, Chu Nanli was clear that with her current condition, even if she escaped, she wouldn’t be able to get far.

The person behind this chose not to act earlier or later but specifically waited for Ye Jiuxiao to leave the capital before making a move, suggesting that this person’s power was perhaps even greater than she had thought.

Chu Nanli was even more worried: Could it be that Ye Jiuxiao, who had left the capital, had also encountered foul play?

But by now, it was the dead of night.

After enduring such a tense and thrilling ordeal just before, Chu Nanli was already mentally exhausted.

Even if she wanted to stay alert, she couldn’t resist the fatigue that overcame her body and had to lean against the bed and fall asleep in her clothes.

The next day, what woke her was the sound of the door unlocking.

Although the person opening the door tried to be as quiet as possible, they still woke Chu Nanli, who was tense at all times.

She looked up and saw that it was an elderly woman who had entered.

The woman kept her head lowered, not daring to look any more than necessary, and after arranging the food from the meal box, she hurried out.

The dishes laid out on the table were sumptuous to the extreme, not at all what one would expect for a captivated person.

Chu Nanli didn’t take it lightly and carefully inspected several items from the meal before she dared to eat with confidence.

Her situation on this side was temporarily stable.

But on Chu Yi’s side, things were far more critical.

He had noticed the intrusion of the men in black as soon as it happened.

While he dealt with the attackers, he rushed towards Chu Nanli’s bedroom.

However, his training in martial arts had been too brief; he was no match for these people and was knocked unconscious on the spot.

Fortunately, the intruders’ goal was to take Chu Nanli away, not to engage in a massacre.

They didn’t care about Chu Yi’s fate and, after accomplishing their task, set the place on fire and left.

Chu Yi was awakened by the thick smoke, and after getting up, he realized that everything around him had been engulfed in flames.

He had a foreboding feeling and urgently burst into Chu Nanli’s bedroom, only to find it empty.

If his master wasn’t here, could it be that she had been taken away by those men in black who suddenly burst in?

No, he had to find his master as soon as possible!

Ignoring the wounds bleeding on his body, Chu Yi staggered up and started heading out.

But his injuries were too severe, and he had inhaled too much smoke; he could no longer hold out.

He had barely stepped out of the courtyard when he could no longer go on and collapsed in the alleyway behind.

Chu Nanli’s courtyard suddenly caught fire, a situation that naturally reached Zhuang Lin’s ears.

Shocked, he immediately sent people to check on the situation, but the scene had already been burned to the ground, and the bodies were also dealt with cleanly.

His men only found the unconscious Chu Yi in the back alley.

"What happened? How did he get so severely injured?"

Upon seeing Chu Yi’s injuries, Zhuang Lin acutely sensed that something was amiss.

If it were just an accidental fire, why would Chu Yi have so many wounds?

Moreover, after he sent people to take a closer look, although there were indeed two charred corpses in Chu Nanli’s bedroom, the more one looked, the more suspicious it seemed.

Zhuang Lin turned to a servant and ordered, "Go, call over that young fellow Zhuang Muyan."

After Zhuang Muyan arrived, he first tended to Chu Yi’s wounds simply, then figured out a way to bring him back to consciousness.

"Quick, have someone go save the master!"

When Chu Yi awoke, the first thing he did was to grasp Zhuang Muyan’s hand tightly, the strength almost enough to dislocate his arm.

Zhuang Muyan finally withdrew his hand with some difficulty, and seeing that Chu Yi seemed about to faint again, hurriedly inserted a needle at one of his acupoints.

After this needle, Chu Yi managed to stay barely conscious.

He looked anxiously at Zhuang Lin: "Mr. Zhuang, the master must have been taken away, hurry, send someone to notify the Prince!"

"Don’t panic just yet, first tell me what happened."

Zhuang Lin did want to inform Ye Jiuxiao of everything, but right now, he had no idea where Ye Jiuxiao was, and even sending out a message, he didn’t know if it could be received.

Although he was also unclear on why Ye Jiuxiao had left the capital this time, if there was nothing urgent, it would have been impossible for Ye Jiuxiao to leave in such a rush.

During the time he had Zhuang Muyan come over, he had found out that news had already spread outside that Chu Nanli had perished in a fire.

The corpses discovered at the scene could further corroborate this.

If Zhuang Lin’s men hadn’t found Chu Yi, he might also believe those rumors circulating outside by now.

"Has your master offended anyone lately?"

At this moment, Zhuang Lin was very aware that before Ye Jiuxiao left the capital, he must have left someone to protect Chu Nanli.

If Chu Nanli was indeed taken away, then the person who took her must have been plotting for a long time, their strength considerable.

"The master usually keeps to herself, how could she possibly offend anyone?"

Upon hearing Zhuang Lin’s question, Chu Yi just shook his head. In his opinion, with Chu Nanli’s amiable nature, how could she possibly have offended anyone?

The only connection he could think of was...

He looked up at Zhuang Lin: "The War King Residence!"

"It must be the War King who took the master away!"

During these days, Ye Yunting’s relentless pursuit was something Chu Yi had seen with his own eyes.

Being a man himself, he could naturally feel Ye Yunting’s aggressive gaze; moreover, he thought that someone like Ye Yunting just could not let matters rest easily.

Nevertheless, seeing his master’s belly growing day by day, he never voiced the suspicions in his heart.

Back then, he figured that with Ye Jiuxiao protecting her, even if the master encountered Ye Yunting, nothing would happen.

But what he didn’t expect was Ye Yunting would actually act like this!

He didn’t know where the master was taken to now, nor did he know what she might have to endure!
