Chapter 120 I'm Too Suspicious
Prince Ning stood up and pressed a mechanism under the lamp on the table. The bookcase in the room moved to the side with a "rustle", revealing a secret compartment behind the bookshelf.
He walked over, took out a red lacquered wooden box from the secret compartment, opened it, took out a snake bone from inside, and broke it into two pieces.
He came back and handed half of it to Yan Mobai: "This amount is enough to cure the poison of two or three people."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Yan Mobai took it with both hands.
Snake bones are rare in the world and hard to come by.
"There's no need to be polite between you and me." King Ning put the remaining half back into the wooden box, packed it up, and put it back into the secret compartment.
"By the way, tomorrow is the Queen's birthday. Have you prepared your gift?" Prince Ning turned around and asked.
"I'm going to pick out a painting and calligraphy to send to you." Yan Mobai replied.
Prince Ning couldn't help laughing.
"You really don't understand women. How many women like that? The Queen loves chess. I have a set of red and green jade chess pieces here. You can take it as a gift. She will be happy."
As Prince Ning spoke, he took out a large square box from the secret compartment and walked over to hand it to Yan Mobai.
Looking at the patterns carved on the box, rich peonies, exquisite and elegant, Yan Mobai knew that this item was of great value.
Moreover, green jade is easy to find, but red jade is rare.
Then he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I am very terrified."
"Why should you be afraid? You have performed a great deed tonight, and you deserve to be rewarded. Besides, you are my person, and it will be beneficial to me if the queen is pleased with you."
Seeing him say this, Yan Mobai no longer refused.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"Okay, go back and have a rest. I'm tired too. I'm sure I'll have a good sleep tonight." King Ning was in a very good mood.
Yan Mobai nodded: "I will take my leave."

When Yan Mobai returned to Fuxue Garden, Chi Feng immediately came over and took the jade chess box from him: "Sir."
Although he did not receive the fireworks signal, which meant that the operation should have been successful, Chi Feng still couldn't help but confirm: "Did they catch the person?"
"Yeah." Yan Mobai walked in without stopping.
Chi Feng looked back at the door: "Where's Lan Ying?"
"He followed the people from the Dali Temple to take people to prison, and I went to Prince Ning's Mansion." Yan Mobai said.
Chi Feng felt relieved, wondering what happened to Lan Ying during the operation.
Seeing that his master responded in such detail, which was rare, and seemed to be in a good mood, Chi Feng took the initiative to report.
"There is no movement in Fangfei Garden. The lady has not gone out and turned off the lights early. She must have gone to bed."
Yan Mobai glanced in the direction of Fangfei Garden, frowning and saying, "I was overthinking."
"My lord is being cautious." Chi Feng replied.
The master and servant entered the study, and Yan Mobai ordered: "Bring a clean grinding cup."
Grinding bowl?
Chi Feng was stunned for a moment, put the jade chess box in his hand on the table, and left after receiving the order.
Yan Mobai walked to the desk and sat down. He took out the half of the snake bone from his sleeve and broke it again, splitting it into two.
Half of it was wrapped in a handkerchief and placed in a box in the desk drawer, and the other half was held in his hand and examined under the lamp.
Chi Feng quickly brought back a grinding bowl from the kitchen.
Seeing his master putting something into the millstone and starting to grind it, Chi Feng asked, "Master, what is this?"
"Antidote." Yan Mobai didn't raise his eyebrows.
Chi Feng was shocked. Antidote?
"Has the Lord been poisoned?"
Yan Mobai ignored him and focused on what he was doing.
Seeing him like this, Chi Feng didn't ask any more questions.
Whether you are poisoned or not, there is an antidote.
He even thought of a possibility.
His master poisoned the woman in Fangfeiyuan. Now that the suspicion has been lifted, he wants to secretly give the woman the antidote.
Yan Mobai raised his eyes and said, "Go prepare the water for bathing. I'll grind it and then I'll bathe."
Chi Feng took the order and left.
Yan Mobai ground the snake bone into powder, took a piece of clean paper, and wrapped it up carefully.
I have to find a chance to put it in that woman's tea or food tomorrow, and she must not find out.
Let her think that his offspring's umbilical cord blood is the antidote, or wait for Mr. Shi to develop an antidote.

Chi Feng prepared hot water, and Lan Ying also came back from the Dali Temple. One of them came out of the bathroom, and the other came in from the garden gate, and they saw the figure practicing sword under the lantern in the courtyard.
Both of them were stunned.
Although his family had the habit of studying in the morning and practicing sword in the evening, that was at dusk. Now it was the middle of the night, and they were practicing sword?
The two walked together.
Chi Feng looked at Lan Ying and asked, "Are you okay?"
"No, your Excellency is very smart and has a great plan. The operation went very smoothly."
Chifeng nodded.
The two stood in the corridor and watched their master holding a long sword, as light as a swallow, and performing various moves.
Lan Ying came to a conclusion instantly: "My Lord is happy that tonight's operation was so successful."
Chi Feng said nothing.
He was indeed happy that a certain woman passed the test and did not disappoint him.
The figure practicing sword soon stopped, and Chifeng and Lanying hurried forward.
"My Lord, the water for bathing is ready."
"Sir, Tong San and Huang Chengde have been imprisoned in the Dali Temple prison."
The two reported one by one.
Yan Mobai threw the sword in his hand to Lan Ying, took the handkerchief handed to him by Chi Feng, and wiped his hands.
Lan Ying took the sword and noticed the tassel hanging on the hilt at the first moment. He was very surprised.
Was he seeing right? His master also had a sword tassel?
You have to know that his master doesn't even wear a jade pendant, let alone a sword tassel.
In the words of his parents, these are all burdens.
There is even a sword tassel hung on it?
I was so surprised that I couldn't help but say, "Sir..."
"Ok?"
For the first time ever, my master agreed, and he did it very quickly.
Lan Ying suddenly remembered what Bai Ri Chi Feng had told him: In the future, speak less in front of adults unless you understand the situation clearly.
So I didn't dare to say anything more, and could only say: "Nothing...nothing."
Yan Mobai glanced at him and said, "Just tell me what you want to say!"
"It's really nothing, I just want to call you sir." Lan Ying told herself to keep Chi Feng's instructions in mind.
Yan Mobai's face turned slightly cold and he handed the handkerchief in his hand to Chi Feng.
He asked casually, "Where did you buy the sword tassel that Lan Ying bought last time?"
Chi Feng and Lan Ying were stunned. They didn't expect him to ask this suddenly.
Lan Ying immediately replied: "In the East Street Market."
Seeing that he took the initiative to raise the sword tassel, Lan Ying couldn't hold back his previous words: "My Lord also wore a sword tassel!"
Chi Feng, who was standing by, then noticed that there was actually a black sword tassel hanging on the long sword in Lan Ying's hand, which was also a bit strange.
Lan Ying added: "Black sword tassels are rare. It seems that you really like the color of ink."
Yan Mobai said "hmm".
"However, the workmanship of this sword tassel is average. Sir, I will give you a better one tomorrow." Lan Ying said excitedly.
Since his master took the initiative to ask him where he bought the sword tassel, he must have thought the sword tassel he bought was good and wanted it too.
He was careless. Since he gave a Red Wind, he should have also given one to his master, regardless of whether the other party was dead or not.
Now that the other party has brought it up on his own initiative, it seems that he, as a subordinate, is quite unkind.
"Do I need you to send me off?" Yan Mobai said coldly.
Lan Ying was startled.
Yan Mobai glanced at him coldly and walked towards the bathroom: "Can I buy a sword tassel made of hair at the East Street Market? Hurry up and send the sword to the sword room!"
Blue Shadow: “…”
