Chapter 213 No Longer in Mind
Chapter 213 No Longer in Mind
After returning to Prince Ning's mansion, Prince Ning called his two personal guards Wen Lai and Wu Zhi into the side room.
"Send someone unfamiliar to secretly follow Yan Mobai. Don't follow too closely. He is always cautious and sharp. We can't let him find us. We just need to know where he goes every day."
When they heard that they were following Yan Mobai, Wenlai and Wuzhi thought they had heard it wrong and couldn't believe it.
"Following Master Yan?"
You must know that Yan Mobai is the person that the prince trusts the most.
"Yeah." Prince Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.
He didn't mean to follow Yan Mobai, he just wanted to find the woman named Ning.
He didn't believe that Yan Mobai had really broken up with that woman.
They even prepared tiger-head shoes for children. He felt that it was possible that the child in the woman's belly had not been aborted.
If this is true, then Yan Mobai has concealed the truth from him and deceived him.
That means Yan Mobai no longer trusts him and is unwilling to tell him these things.
That means Yan Mobai and he no longer share the same opinion.

On this day, Prince Ning returned home from court and Wen Lai came to meet him to report.
"Your Highness, the people who followed Lord Yan finally made a discovery."
"explain."
"He released a carrier pigeon at the Dali Temple. Our people followed the pigeon and found that it was flying to Zixia Mountain outside the capital."
"His Highness has instructed us not to be discovered by Lord Yan. Our people don't know the situation in the mountains and are afraid of alerting the enemy. They stopped following us when we reached the foot of the mountain."
"You did the right thing." King Ning narrowed his eyes.
Zixia Mountain.
So, does that woman live in Zixia Mountain?
"Do you know the content of the letter?" asked King Ning.
"Our people caught the pigeon halfway and read the letter, but they couldn't understand what was written. They copied it."
Wen Lai presented a piece of paper with both hands.
Prince Ning took it immediately.
As he saw the various numbers, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Apparently some code words.
He knew that Yan Mobai was meticulous, wise and prudent, but he didn't expect him to be so cautious.
This also further proves the position of that woman in his heart.
Only if you pay extra attention will you be extra cautious.
Prince Ning took the paper and sat down at the table to look at it carefully.
Study it carefully, trying to find flaws or patterns.
Mo Bai had never used this method in front of him before, so he didn't know the secret behind it.
It's all numbers, three numbers next to each other.
He read the numbers over and over again but found no pattern or homophony.
He only read the first digit of every three numbers and didn't find anything.
I only read the middle number and found nothing.
I only read the third word and still found nothing.
Do three numbers represent one word?
Under what circumstances do three numbers represent one word? he pondered.
Is it based on some book?
Which page does the first number represent, the second the row, and the third the column?
What book would it be?
Thinking back to the last two times he went to the Dali Temple to find Yan Mobai, besides official documents, there was also a copy of "Wan Zi Jie" on the desk in Yan Mobai's office.
The reason why he had such an impression was because when he first saw it, he asked Yan Mobai: "I have the Wan Zi Jie next to me. Could it be that our well-read champion has words he doesn't know or understand?"
Yan Mobai replied: "Well, the ocean of learning is endless, how can I know all the characters?"
So when he saw "Wan Zi Jie" on the table for the second time, he didn't take it seriously.
His pupils narrowed, and he ordered Wen Lai: "Quickly bring a copy of the Wan Zi Jie."
Wen Lai took the order and quickly went to get it.
King Ning checked the numbers on the paper one by one according to pages, rows, and columns, and then wrote down the corresponding words in "Wan Zi Jie".
Sure enough, it became a complete sentence.
[It’s been seven months now, your belly should have gotten a lot bigger, draw a picture for me so I can feel it. ]
really!
As expected, he has not broken up with that woman.
The baby in the woman's belly was indeed still there.
Prince Ning clenched the note in his hand and pursed his lips into a straight line.
After thinking silently for a while, he ordered Wen to come.
"Think of a way to pass on the news to Prince An that the baby in Yan Mobai's eldest sister's belly has not been aborted and is hiding in Zixia Mountain. Remember, don't reveal that it was us who passed on the news."
Since King Kang fell, it was King An who discovered the cave where the elixir was refined and brought his father there.
That means Prince An knew everything that happened that day.
Then Prince An should know that the woman with the surname Ning and those pregnant women had their babies aborted by his father.
It is obvious that the baby has been aborted, but is still healthy in the belly. That is deceiving the king.
With such a great achievement, Prince An must be eager to grab it.
Although Wenlai didn't understand why his highness did this, he just did whatever his highness told him to do.
He immediately took the order and left.

Ning Miao was lying on a lounge chair in the yard basking in the sun when he received the carrier pigeon from Yan Mobai.
It's winter now, and the nights in the mountains are very cold. Although there is a charcoal stove, it is not as comfortable as basking in the sun during the day.
Especially when basking in the sun and feeling sleepy, it is really comfortable.
"Another letter from the idle man." Yikong caught the carrier pigeon and walked over to hand it to her.
Ning Miao smiled, already used to it.
She reached out to take the pigeon, removed the small bamboo tube from its leg, then got up and went back to her room.
She spread the black cloth that she had always used on the table, then carefully took the rolled-up paper out of the small bamboo tube and unfolded it.
The reason why the black cloth was laid was because the small piece of white hair would be easily visible if it fell on it.
As always, she first looked at the black cloth under her hand.
But I didn't see the hair.
Her pupils shrank, thinking that the note had not fallen off, and she looked at the note in her hand again.
Not on the note.
She looked at her hands again.
Neither.
She looked carefully again, but couldn't find the half-inch long white hair.
She was very careful when she took it out, and she was also very careful when she unfolded it, with small movements. The hair could only fall on the black cloth and could not fall anywhere else.
But no.
Her breath hitched.
So, the letter was intercepted and read by someone?

Ning Wangfu
When Wenlai walked into the study, he saw King Ning sitting at the desk, not reading, writing, or handling official documents.
He just sat there, squinting his eyes slightly, watching the thin smoke rising from the incense burner on the table, motionless, as if he was thinking about something, or waiting for something.
"Your Highness." Wen Lai stepped forward and saluted.
Prince Ning then came to his senses and turned to look at him.
"how?"
"The news has been passed on to Prince An. He left the capital with two personal guards. It seems that he went to Zixia Mountain."
Prince Ning nodded: "Well, he didn't find out that it was us who spread the news, right?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness. No one can suspect us."
"Well, make arrangements to ensure that their actions are not discovered by Yan Mobai. Also, arrange for some people to hide at the foot of the mountain in case the woman escapes. Make sure Prince An can catch her."
