After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 216 There is no need for this between you and me

"Mr. Shi gave me a medicine two days ago. It was something he had just developed."

"This medicine is colorless and tasteless when dissolved in water, and cannot be detected by a silver needle. After a person takes it, they will temporarily lose their mind and obey orders. After waking up, they will just not remember this memory. It does no harm to the body."

"Before you go to the palace to see Ning Miao, you can go to Longyin Palace to express your gratitude first, and then find a way to get your father to take this medicine. When he loses his mind and obeys you, let him write an imperial decree of amnesty."

"When he wakes up, he will have your imperial edict in his hand. He cannot deny what he wrote."

"Besides, the emperor is not joking. He can't just issue an imperial decree of pardon and then go back on his word and punish Ning Miao again."

"In this way, you can rescue Ning Miao legitimately, and you don't have to risk your life and the death of the Marquis's mansion to do something like a prison break that has no chance of success."

"Imperial Doctor Zhang said that Father's memory has been declining recently and he occasionally forgets certain things."

"So don't worry, Father will not suspect that you did anything wrong. He will just think that his symptoms have become more serious and he forgot what he wrote."

Yan Mobai's eyebrows knitted together almost imperceptibly: "Mr. Shi's order?"

King Ning nodded.

"Well, originally, I asked Master Shi to develop this medicine because I wanted to give it to my father. When he lost his mind, I wanted him to issue an edict to make me the crown prince."

"Later, I thought about it. Unlike other things, the matter of establishing a crown prince is too important. If I am not the candidate in my father's mind, he will definitely suspect that I have used some tricks on him."

"Even if I don't doubt it, given his style of doing things, he will definitely find ways to depose me, the crown prince. If that happens, I will lose more than I gain, so let's just do it."

Yan Mobai agreed: "The matter of appointing a crown prince must be something the emperor is willing to do, Your Highness should not rush into it."

Prince Ning sighed.

Then he brought the topic back: "Mr. Shi said he had tried the medicine and there was no problem. Mr. Shi, you should believe it."

Finally, he continued, "Mr. Shi gave me two. I have tried one on Wen Lai and it is indeed as Mr. Shi said."

"Don't worry, I will make sure that there is no problem with this medicine before I dare to give it to you. Otherwise, you are my man, and if you make any mistakes, I will not be able to escape the blame."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Yan Mobai couldn't wait to stretch out his hands, as if asking King Ning to give him medicine.

Prince Ning looked around warily again, took out a small porcelain bottle from the sleeve pocket of his robe and handed it to him.

"Remember, you have to act quickly. The effect of the medicine only lasts for one stick of incense."

Yan Mobai nodded, opened the stopper of the small porcelain bottle and took a look.

It is an almost transparent pill.

With a slightly narrowed eyelid, he put the cork in the bottle and put the porcelain bottle into his sleeve.

Prince Ning looked at him and asked, "Father has always been cautious, and there are always people around him. Have you thought about how to give him the drug?"

Yan Mobai thought about it.

"Your Majesty has the habit of eating a tonic soup every day at 9:00 p.m. The soup needs to be brought from the imperial kitchen to Longyin Palace by a palace maid. Your Majesty is cautious. I can start with the palace maid and find a way to put the medicine into the soup on the way."

After saying that, Yan Mobai frowned again and said, "But there is a problem with this. Before the emperor eats, he always asks the eunuchs to taste the food first."

Prince Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. This medicine is not poison. Even if the eunuch eats it, it will not matter. Besides, the eunuch who tasted it is my man. I will send a message to him, asking him not to swallow the tonic soup today."

Yan Mobai was surprised: "The eunuch who tasted the food is your Highness's man?"

"Well, didn't I originally plan to let my father take this medicine and issue an edict? So I found a way to arrange this person."

Yan Mobai nodded.

"Then I can follow the palace maid to meet the emperor, thank him for his grace, and tell him that I have something very important to tell him about the elixir of immortality. I hope he can send the palace maid away. I believe he will do so."

Prince Ning agreed very much.

"This is a good idea. I know that with your ability, you can definitely do whatever you want. Go quickly. It won't be long until the Si hour. You still have to consider the distance to the palace."

Yan Mobai took a step back and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

King Ning raised his arm, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

Yan Mobai suddenly lifted his robe, knelt down, bowed his head to the ground, and kowtowed to him.

King Ning didn't expect him to be like this.

Although this man had been respectful and polite to him over the years, he seldom knelt. The most recent time was when Ning Miao was imprisoned by his father and he came to him to plead for mercy.

It is even rarer to see someone not only kneel down but also kowtow to him in such a profound ceremony.

As far as I can remember, it seems to have only happened once.

That was when he rescued him from the mouths of several vicious dogs in the dog fighting arena and redeemed him.

He was five years old at the time, just like he was now, kneeling in front of him with his head bowed to the ground.

In my memory, the small figure overlaps again and again with the handsome figure in front of me.

Prince Ning narrowed his eyes and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He pursed his lips and stepped forward to support her.

"There's no need for this between you and me."

Yan Mobai stood up, bowed to him without saying anything more, and turned to leave.

-

Prince Ning kept watching Yan Mobai leave.

It was not until his back disappeared at the gate that King Ning withdrew his gaze and called out loudly, "Wen Lai!"

Wen Lai quickly came over following the voice: "Your Highness."

"Are you all ready?" asked King Ning.

"Return to your highness, everything is ready."

Longyin Palace

Emperor Zhaoqing sat behind the dragon table and looked up at Yan Mobai who was paying his respects in the hall.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you and thank you for your grace in allowing me to see Ning."

"Have you met Ning?" asked Emperor Zhaoqing.

"Your Majesty, no, I would like to thank you first before I go see her."

At one side, the chief eunuch Wang Gonggong took out a silver needle from his sleeve pocket, inserted it into the tonic soup that the palace maid had just brought up, and took it out.

Seeing that the silver needle did not change color, he scooped a spoonful of the soup into the empty bowl next to him and handed it to the young eunuch who was waiting to taste it.

The young eunuch took it with both hands, held the bowl and poured the soup into his mouth.

Seeing that the young eunuch was alright, Eunuch Wang brought the bowl of nourishing soup to Emperor Zhaoqing: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhaoqing motioned him to put it aside.

Yan Mobai in the palace spoke again: "I came here not only to thank the emperor for his grace, but also to report something very important to the emperor. Regarding the elixir of immortality, please ask the emperor to dismiss the palace maids."

Emperor Zhaoqing was silent for a moment, then raised his sleeve to signal Eunuch Wang.

Eunuch Wang took the order and retreated outside the palace with a group of palace servants.

-

Prince Ning rushed to Longyin Palace with several guards. Seeing Eunuch Wang and a group of palace servants outside the palace, he knew that Yan Mobai had succeeded.

Seeing that they were coming aggressively, Eunuch Wang asked, "What is your Highness doing?"

"Father is in danger!" Prince Ning looked anxious.

Eunuch Wang's face changed and he immediately turned around and ran into the hall.

Prince Ning and several guards also rushed in.

The palace maids followed closely behind.
