After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

It’s Taoist Priest Yunju.

This person belongs to King Kang.

He usually lives in Zixia Temple on Yunxiao Mountain and only comes down the mountain when there is important business.

She concentrated on recalling this time in her previous life...

She remembered.

At this time in the previous life, Emperor Zhaoqing often had nightmares at night, so he summoned talented people to help him get rid of the nightmares. Taoist Master Yunju received secret instructions from King Kang and recommended himself to the palace.

Taoist Master Yunju performed a ritual in front of all the civil and military officials in the court, allowing everyone to witness with their own eyes that it was a person whose zodiac sign was snake who used witchcraft on Emperor Zhaoqing.

Prince Ning was born in the year of the snake.

Although there was no evidence to prove that Prince Ning was the man, Emperor Zhaoqing began to feel resentful towards him.

She stopped with a thought.

Snow Garden

Chi Feng brought a copper basin of clean water into the room and placed it on the basin rack.

Yan Mobai stepped forward to wash his hands.

The three spies of Prince Kang who had just been caught bit their tongues and committed suicide before he could take any action.

But he just felt his hands were dirty.

Lan Ying walked in quickly and said, "Sir, the guards sent out to look for Madam Ning are back, but they didn't find her."

Yan Mobai's hand, which was immersed in the clear water, paused slightly.

"Just now, I saw that the Marquis has sent more people to look for him." Chi Feng handed over a brocade scarf.

Yan Mobai took it, wiped his hands, and slowly turned around.

Lan Ying frowned and said, "Has Madam Ning really had any problem?"

Yan Mobai said nothing, and slowly wiped his fingers clean one by one.

Handing the brocade scarf to Chi Feng, an indifferent voice sounded slowly.

"Then let's go look for them. After all, he just provided us with the snake pattern map and helped us identify the spies in the mansion. It might be useful in the future."

Lan Ying thought to himself: I should have thought of this a long time ago.

There are three routes from Yongchang Marquis Mansion to Siyuan School.

The master and his two servants each rode a horse and found a way.

Yan Mobai saw Ning Miao's food box from a little beggar on the roadside.

There is a big word "Yan" engraved on the food box of Yongchang Marquis Mansion, which is quite easy to recognize.

He immediately dismounted and asked the little beggar: "Where did this food box come from?"

The little beggar was intimidated by his powerful aura: "No... no, I didn't steal it. I... I picked it up... by the wall."

The little beggar said this while pointing into the distance.

Yan Mobai followed the direction he was pointing to, his eyes slightly narrowed.

There was an abandoned house that had been deserted for many years.

He jumped on the horse and galloped away.

When he arrived outside the wall of the abandoned house, he stopped his horse and without going through the main gate, he tapped his toes on the horse's back, flew up, jumped over the high wall, and landed gracefully in the yard of the abandoned house without making a sound.

The yard was in a dilapidated state, with weeds growing everywhere, many of which were taller than a person.

He looked around and listened attentively.

A glimpse of white gauze caught his eye in the bushes, and his gaze was fixed.

It's a veil!

His eyes narrowed slightly, he pursed his lips, walked forward, bent down and picked up the veil.

It's that woman's.

He looked around again and at the same time, concentrated his inner strength and continued to listen carefully.

He heard someone's breathing and his expression became slightly frightened.

Following the source, I found that the breathing sound came from a well in the yard.

When he came to the well, he lowered his eyes and looked down.

A moon-white figure in the dry well caught his eye, and his eyes moved slightly.

This was the woman he was looking for.

At this moment, she was sitting in the dry well with her knees hugged, her hair askew, her head tilted, and she was motionless.

That look reminded him of the day in Lanting Money House when she was beaten and huddled against the wall of the room.

Like an abandoned, wounded little rabbit.

Yan Mobai narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why are you here?"

The woman looked up when she heard the voice.

Seeing that it was him, he seemed a little bit unconvinced. He was stunned for a moment before his face lit up and he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Second Young Master."

"Why are you here?" Yan Mobai stood by the well, looking down at her and asked again.

The woman stood up in the dry well and looked up at him.

"It's a long story. I overheard a big secret of King Kang. Please rescue me first, and I will tell you in detail."

Talk to him about exchange again?

Is she afraid that he won't rescue her?

Really smart.

Yan Mobai pursed his lips slightly, said nothing, looked around, and did not find any ropes or vines.

The dry well is deep and the belt is not enough.

After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "Stand aside."

The woman raised her little face, dazed, as if she didn't understand what he meant. But she didn't ask any more questions and just leaned against the wall of the well obediently as he said.

Yan Mo, his black clothes moving like ink, used his lightness skills to gracefully go down the well and landed in front of the woman.

Although the dry well is very deep, its diameter is not large, and two people have to stand almost shoulder to shoulder to barely fit them in.

The space was cramped and surrounded by high walls, so for a moment they could hear each other's breathing.

The faint scent of his daughter wafted into his nose again. Yan Mobai turned his face away slightly, put his arms around the girl's slender waist, and flew up on tiptoe.

Suddenly leaving the ground, the woman screamed and instinctively spread her arms to hug him tightly.

The sound of the wind blew past her ears and she even closed her eyes in fear.

The fragrance of his daughter became more and more obvious at his nose. The girl's messy hair was blown by the wind and gently brushed against his chin and neck. Yan Mobai's eyes dimmed slightly and he increased his internal strength a bit.

As soon as they landed at the edge of the well, he let her go.

But he found that the woman was hugging him tightly and would not let go. Her whole body was pressed against his arms, her eyes were tightly closed and her long eyelashes were trembling violently.

Yan Mobai lowered his eyes and looked at her.

Her breathing and heartbeat hit my ears strongly.

He tensed up a little and said in a deep voice, "I'm already here."

Ning Miao narrowed his eyes and when he saw that it was indeed safe, he let go of him and took a step back, keeping a distance from him.

She lowered her eyes and nodded: "Thank you, Second Young Master."

"Can I tell you now?" Yan Mobai brushed off the dust on his sleeves.

Ning Miao looked around warily, and when he saw that they were the only two around, he calmed down and spoke in a low voice.

"I saw a man wearing a snake-patterned jade pendant on the road. He was acting suspiciously, so I followed him quietly and found that he came to this abandoned house and met with a Taoist priest."

"I heard him tell the Taoist priest that the emperor has been troubled by nightmares recently, and the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Observatory are helpless. The emperor has asked people to find a talented person who can get rid of nightmares. Prince Kang asked this Taoist priest to recommend himself to the palace to help the emperor get rid of nightmares."

Yan Mobai's expression slightly grimaced.

He knew about the dreams the emperor had been having recently, and he also knew that the emperor was distressed about it and was looking for someone to help him get rid of the nightmare.

What he didn't expect was that King Kang would take advantage of such a thing.

"Then what?" he asked.

"Then the Taoist priest said he didn't know how to get rid of nightmares, so the man gave the Taoist priest a piece of paper and told him to just follow the instructions written on the paper."

"Fortunately, the Taoist priest opened the paper and read it out. I listened carefully. It said 2 taels of powdered sugar, half a tael of baking soda, a pot of strong liquor, and a large plate of sand."

"The Taoist priest asked what they were for. The man said, mix the powdered sugar and baking soda together, stir evenly, then put it on the plate of sand, pour wine on it, light it, and something like a big black snake will crawl out of the sand." (Book friends can Baidu Pharaoh's Snake.)

Yan Mobai was slightly surprised.

Ning Miao continued, "This person asked the Taoist priest to perform in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials, so that everyone could witness this magical scene with their own eyes. Then he asked the Taoist priest to tell the emperor that the emperor had nightmares at night because the people around him whose zodiac sign was snake had cast witchcraft."

Yan Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Prince Ning was born in the Year of the Snake.
