"Your Majesty, we must act quickly and find out the details of the vault as soon as possible, so that we can feel at ease."

"Well, my people have suggested many times that I go to Ningchuanzhou. The emperor has been a little hesitant in recent days. If I work harder, it should be possible."

"That's perfect. When we leave the capital, we will definitely go to the palace to express our gratitude. We can also help Imperial Noble Consort Dehui to empty the treasury while we're there."

"Jintang, there is a lot of gold and silver in the vault of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. It may not be easy for you to move all of it away in a short period of time. Do you need my help?"

"I have already made arrangements for this matter, so I won't bother you, Your Majesty."

The more Ye Jintang said this, the more curious Xiao Mo became.

How could a weak little girl like her empty the treasury of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui right under the noses of the Imperial Guards?

After observing Consort Dehui's treasury for half a month, Shi Bin chose a dark and windy night and finally took action.

He sneaked into the vault alone to find out what was going on.

The door of the vault was not difficult to find. Although the lock on it was Lu Ban's Nine Dragon Lock, it was violently removed by Shi Bin. No matter how powerful the lock was, it could not withstand his strong kung fu and the sharp blade in his hand.

The lock was broken, and Shi Bin carefully pushed open the heavy door of the vault. Just as he pushed open a gap, a dozen colorful poisonous snakes suddenly emerged from inside and bit towards him.

Those snakes were extremely agile. Shi Bin dodged some of them, but was still bitten on the wrist by a snake.

He often lived in the wild, so he dealt with snake venom very quickly. He immediately swallowed the antidote pill, sealed the blood on his wrist, and left without saying a word.

Even though he moved so quickly, he still felt a little fuzzy when he left the vault.

Shi Bin, who was poisoned by the snake, immediately returned to the Prince Qin's Palace.

In Xiao Mo's study.

"Yin Wuyun, hurry up, I can't see clearly."

Shi Bin, who was sitting on the chair, didn't expect the snake venom to be so strong. In just a short while, his eyes became a little blind and his limbs were no longer under his control.

"This is a thunder and fire snake. You are lucky that you can hold on and return to the palace."

"If it were someone else, without the antidote I gave you and your strong body from years of martial arts training, I'm afraid they would have vomited blood and died on the spot."

Yin Wuyun cut open the wound on Shi Bin's wrist, and the blood that flowed out was black and smelly. A full bowl of blood flowed out, and the blood that flowed out was bright red. It can be seen how powerful the Thunder Fire Snake is.

Ye Jintang, who received the news, brought Luzhu and Liuli to the study to see Shi Bin.

"Liuli, let General Shi drink some red date tea to calm down."

"Yes."

Liuli brought a teacup and poured some red date tea from the teapot, saying that it was for Shi Bin to replenish his blood.

Shi Bin couldn't see at this time, so Liuli picked up the tea bowl and put it to Shi Bin's mouth to feed him.

"This red date tea is very different from what I had before."

"The red date tea was specially prepared by the princess. General Shi lost so much blood that he needs to be replenished."

Shi Bin had talked to Liuli before, but he didn't feel anything strange about her voice at that time.

But now he is blind and his hearing has become much sharper than before.

"Liuli's voice sounds quite similar to that of an old friend of mine. I almost thought it was my old friend who came."

Liuli, who was holding the teacup, was so scared when she heard Shi Bin say this that she almost dropped the cup.

Lin Ruoyu from that year is dead, and now there is only Liuli.

"That's such a coincidence."

Liuli calmed herself down and responded calmly.

"Doctor Yin, how is the injury on General Shi's hand? Is it serious?"

"General Shi has already taken the antidote, but the poison of the Thunder Fire Snake is so strong that it may take 10 days or half a month for his right hand to regain feeling."

"As long as your life is not in danger."

Ye Jintang turned and looked at Xiao Mo.

They can't wait for half a month.

If the imperial edict came down, they would have to leave the capital immediately. They would not have the time to stay here and slowly find out the details of Consort Dehui's treasury.

"Your Highness, it seems that the treasury of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is not simple. It even has a mechanism. It may not be easy for us to figure it out."

"I wonder if His Majesty has any solution for this."

Xiao Mo nodded slightly.

"Shi Bin has just told me the whole story. I think the problem is the door lock that triggered the vault."

"As long as the Nine Dragon Lock can be opened normally, the mechanism in the vault will not be triggered."

"That's going to be troublesome. It's not easy to steal the key from Imperial Noble Consort Dehui."

The imperial palace was heavily guarded, and the Fengxia Palace where Imperial Noble Consort Dehui lived was patrolled by the imperial guards 12 hours a day.

Besides, things like the key to the vault must have been hidden very well by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, and you might not be able to find it if you rush in to look for it rashly.

Moreover, the palace maids who served her were almost always by her side for 12 hours.

Even when sleeping at night, there were palace maids guarding the corners of the bed.

In this situation, it is almost impossible to get the vault key out.

"This matter is not urgent. Give me some time and let me think of a solution."

"I do have an idea. Your Highness only needs to find a maid in Fengxia Palace who can serve Imperial Noble Consort Dehui closely. When she is on guard at night, she can light a stick of incense in the room, and everyone in the inner hall will fall asleep."

"When the time comes, just secretly make a copy of the key to the Nine Dragon Lock and send it out of the palace."

"The inner palace of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is not small. If it were ordinary incense, it wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people."

"If your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can do an experiment."

This matter was of great importance, so Xiao Mo had to cheer up.

That night he did an experiment in his study.

With just a small incense stick, it only took a few breaths to knock down all the dozen or so guards standing inside and outside the study.

These guards are all martial artists and have some skills.

If it were an ordinary palace maid, she would probably faint and lose consciousness just by smelling it.

"How long can the Jintang fragrance poison people?"

"After half an hour, when people wake up, they will definitely not realize that they were poisoned. They will just think they dozed off."

Looking at the incense stick in his hand, Xiao Mo already had an idea.

"I will contact the spies in the palace in the next few days to see if I can find a way to steal the key to the vault."

Since Imperial Consort Dehui was able to place so many spies in Prince Qin's Mansion, Xiao Mo could naturally also place his spies in Fengxia Palace.

It’s just that he has relatively few eyes, so he won’t move easily.

But this time it involved such an important matter as the treasury, so he had no choice but to take the risk and mobilize those few people.

"Your Majesty, please be careful and don't be too aggressive. If this doesn't work, we can still think of other ways. If we alert the enemy, it will be troublesome."

"Yes, I know."
