Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Xiao Mo asked someone to replicate the key to the Nine Dragon Lock, and at first he said it could be produced in three to five days.

As a result, after the key maker looked at the key to the Kowloon Lock, he immediately changed his mind and said that it would take half a month to a month to make a key.

It turns out that there are many types of Nine Dragon Locks. The one used by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is the top-grade one, which has nine teeth, and each tooth is different. There probably aren't many people in the capital who can perfectly replicate it.

Busy days always pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, we take off our thick clothes and put on light long skirts.

Xiao Mo's people have been negotiating with Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, trying to get Xiao Mo to go to the fiefdom.

But Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was not someone to be trifled with. She used the excuse that Xiao Mo was injured and should not travel far away and refused to let him leave.

Finally, after much arguing, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui decided to let Xiao Mo recuperate and leave the capital for Ningchuanzhou in September.

Everyone knows that Ningchuanzhou is remote and has a harsh climate.

The best time of the year to travel from Beijing to Ningchuan Island is summer.

If you depart from the capital in summer, it will be autumn when you arrive in Ningchuanzhou, which is also the best season of the year in Ningchuanzhou.

But if you depart from the capital in September, you will arrive in Ningchuan Prefecture just in time for winter.

The winter in Ningchuanzhou is much colder than that in the capital. With Xiao Mo's physique, he is already exhausted after the long journey. If he makes a slight mistake, he might not even survive the winter and die.

"Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is really calculating."

Ye Jintang sat in Xiao Mo's study, not knowing what to say.

After being troubled by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, they had to reconsider their plans.

It's only June, and there are still three months until September. No one can say for sure whether Imperial Noble Consort Dehui will cause any trouble during this period.

"This is already the best possible outcome. According to my initial prediction, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would have to assassinate me several times before she would let me go. But recently, she seems to have been unable to take care of me."

"Oh, what has Imperial Noble Consort Dehui been busy with recently?"

Ye Jintang immediately pricked up his ears, ready to listen to gossip.

Ever since Ye Yanran got married, Ye Jintang hasn't paid much attention to what's going on there and has been focusing on making money.

"The Gan family sent a concubine's daughter to the palace a few days ago. She was favored by the emperor and was named Consort Xian just a few days ago. I heard that Consort Xian looks 50% similar to the late queen."

Hearing this, Ye Jintang looked at Xiao Mo in amazement.

Isn’t the former queen Xiao Mo’s mother?

And as far as she knew, the late queen and Emperor Jing were not on good terms, otherwise she wouldn't have disliked Xiao Mo so much.

The person has been dead for so many years, and now he suddenly dotes on a woman who looks 50% like the late queen. Isn't this a serious illness?

"Isn't it possible that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui would not have the time to trouble His Majesty just because of Noble Lady Xian?"

"Of course, this noble lady Xian was recommended to the palace by Ye Yanran. Moreover, several imperial doctors in the palace checked Ye Yanran's pulse some time ago and said that she was pregnant with a little grandson. Ye Yanran has been giving Imperial Noble Consort Dehui a lot of trouble recently."

"In addition to sending people into the palace, she also stuffed four beautiful concubines into Xiao Yi's room. I don't know what kind of magic potion she fed Xiao Yi to make him obey her."

"Xiao Yi has contradicted Imperial Noble Consort Dehui several times in a row, and it seems that mother and son are about to fall out."

Hearing this, Ye Jintang felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, yet also a little confused.

This matter is different from the original novel. In the original novel, Ye Yanran had been trying to please Imperial Noble Consort Dehui at the beginning. How could she dare to confront her now?

Ye Yanran must be quite capable to be the heroine in the original novel. It is impossible for her to suddenly become so tough for no reason.

Later, she sent someone to investigate and find out what was going on.

"I don't know if there are many people patrolling the vault right now."

"I have been sending people to keep an eye on it. If there is any change, the palace will definitely send me a letter."

The two talked about the vault for a while, and then Jiang Heng came in hurriedly from outside.

"Your Majesty, the key has been made."

"Really? Bring it here for me to see."

Jiang Heng opened the brocade box and handed it to Xiao Mo.

The key of the Kowloon Lock is relatively large and only slightly thinner than the little finger.

The pure copper texture feels heavy in the hand.

"No wonder it takes a month to make a key."

Xiao Mo looked at the fine grooves on the key and sighed in his heart that it was worthy of being the Lu Ban Nine Dragon Lock, it was just different.

"Let me see it too."

Ye Jintang on the side was extremely curious. She had never seen such a big and exquisitely made key before.

"Shi Bin's hand injury has completely healed, but Yin Wuyun's arm injury is still not healed. We can't delay the vault business for him."

"Shi Bin must go to the palace as soon as possible to try the key. If the key doesn't work, we have to modify it again."

"That's the truth."

Ye Jintang was silent for a moment, and felt that the matter could not be delayed any longer.

"Your Highness, I do have a suggestion. Liuli's medical skills are not bad, and she has raised many poisonous creatures. If there are poisonous creatures in the vault, Liuli can deal with it."

Xiao Mo also knew that Liuli raised poisonous creatures.

Besides, time was running out and he didn't want to delay.

After a long silence, Xiao Mo finally nodded.

"Then let Shi Bin and Liu Li go to the vault to find out what's going on."

After this matter was finalized, Xiao Mo immediately called the two of them to discuss entering the palace to investigate the vault.

"Miss Liuli is so weak, can she make it? If there are pursuers, it will be difficult for me to run away with her alone."

To be honest, Shi Bin would rather take Yin Wuyun with him than Liuli.

The two of them went to explore the vault together, and there must have been some physical contact along the way.

Liuli is an unmarried girl. If she fails to climb over the wall, should he reach out to pull her up, or hold her feet and throw her over directly?

If they met pursuers, he was so strong that he could pull Yin Wuyun and run away. No matter how weak he was, he was still a man and his running speed would definitely not be too slow.

But Liuli is just a little girl, how can she run with her tiny arms and legs?

He can't just carry the person on his shoulders and run away.

The despised Liuli bit her lip and said nothing. Shi Bin was still as troublesome as before.

"General Shi, time is a bit tight right now. We may not have enough time to wait for Doctor Yin's arm injury to heal."

"As for Liuli, she is not as weak as the general thinks. Liuli has been practicing Ba Duan Jin for many years and is in very good health. Besides, Liuli has many life-saving items on her body and will definitely not hold the general back."

"I wonder if Miss Liuli has any life-saving items on her. Can you take them out and let us see them?"

Shi Bin still didn't want to enter the palace with Liuli.

The delicate woman was too much trouble, and he would rather explore the vault by himself than take Liuli with him.

"Liuli, take your things to General Shi to see."

"Yes."

Liuli didn't say much. She quickly went back to her room, got a small cotton bag, and poured everything inside onto the small table.

There are quite a lot of things in the bag.

"These three walnut-like black balls are thunder bombs. Each one is filled with a different poison. When we encounter danger, we can just throw them on the ground. They can not only attack the enemy, but also buy time for us to escape."
