After completing his act of being a generous benefactor, Mo Liuyun returned to the General's Mansion, closed the door, and slipped into his spatial dimension. He took a bath, lay down on the bed, and mentally planned which house to visit tomorrow!

She kept muttering to herself, "There's still the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. Those who harmed my grandfather, I can't let a single one get away with it. Take it slow. I have my spatial ability. No matter how tight the defenses are, it's useless. It's only painful to cut flesh with a dull knife!" Thinking about this, she drifted off to sleep.

On the other side, Manager Wang saw Mo Liuyun off. After dinner was over and past midnight, he changed his clothes and disguised himself, and immediately went to the Prince of Pingnan's mansion. Upon entering the mansion, he went straight to the prince's room: "Master, I have an urgent matter to discuss with you, it's extremely urgent!"

Upon hearing this, both An Yi and Nangong Li were shocked: An San (Manager Wang) would not have come to the Wang Mansion at this time unless something extremely serious had happened!

After changing his clothes, Nangong Li instructed An Yi to bring An San in. As soon as An San entered, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Seeing this, Nangong Li felt a little relieved. It seemed that this was not a bad thing. He asked, "What is so urgent that you would disregard your status to come see me at this time? Did you find some gold?"

An San said, "Master asked me to find a way to sell Miss Mo's estate. I noticed that Miss Mo doesn't seem to have enough money, so I'm exchanging it for medicinal herbs as you instructed. I've also inquired whether Miss Mo has any Purple Lingzhi or Tianshan Snow Lotus."

Upon hearing this, An hurriedly asked, "What? Is there?"

Nangong Li didn't ask, but his hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the wheelchair armrest!

"Miss Mo said she didn't!"

Before he could finish speaking, An Yi's expression returned to its previous deadpan look, cold and indifferent.

“But the girl said her master has them, so it won’t be a problem for her to ask for them!” An San finished speaking in one breath.

No sooner had he finished speaking than An Yi punched An San in the chest: "Damn it, I'll teach you to keep me in suspense. Don't keep breathing like that. Next time, you won't be able to breathe!"

Nangong Li raised his hand to stop An Yi from continuing, and glanced at An San: "Tell me her conditions!"

An San thought to himself: "Master is truly a prophet. He knew the young lady had conditions before I even said anything!"

An San hurriedly replied, "The young lady said she needs to see you before she can make a decision! That's why I said I need to ask you to confirm!"

"How did you mention selling the manor to him? Tell me again." Nangong Li looked at An Sandao.

"My subordinate said that a friend of mine is in poor health and has no heart to manage the villa, so he is selling it. Considering that several hundred thousand taels is not a small amount, he also said that he could barter with treasures or precious medicines."

The young lady asked me what kind of medicinal herbs I needed. I said the more precious the better, such as a hundred-year-old ginseng. I also mentioned that a friend needed purple lingzhi and snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain, and asked if the young lady had such medicinal herbs.

Then the girl said that she didn't have it, but her master did, and asking for it wouldn't be a problem. Her condition was to see the young master who sold the manor! He said he had some medical knowledge and might be able to help treat the patient. "Master, have I said something wrong?" An San felt a surge of fear. He was terrified of saying the wrong thing and causing trouble for his master.

Nangong Li shook his head: "It's alright, you did a great job! Tell her I'm willing to see her!"

An San and An Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. An San then said, "Miss Mo said that she will meet you at Wangjiang Pavilion at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

"Qingyang had just discovered a purple Ganoderma in the Qingwang Mansion today and was about to send someone to risk their life to investigate when you brought good news. So there's no need to send anyone out of danger!" said An Yi.

Nangong Li nodded: "I will be there on time tomorrow at 9:00 AM. Let's meet on the third floor!"

"Yes, Master. I will go back and make the arrangements immediately. I will take my leave now!"

After An San left, Twenty anxiously paced around the door of the study, but dared not knock. Nangong Li heard the commotion outside and signaled An Yi to go out and check.

An Yi brought Twenty in, and Twenty immediately knelt down: "Master, Nineteen is missing!"

"Tell me what happened? When did Nineteen disappear? Why did she disappear?" Nangong Li looked at Twenty.

"Yesterday we heard from Steward Yang that he had discovered a purple Ganoderma lucidum in the Qingwang Mansion. We were thinking about whether we should go and investigate, but Steward Yang said there was no rush and we should wait for your instructions before we acted. He said that the Qingwang Mansion was heavily guarded and we should plan ahead."

"Your subordinates went back to await news. They also obtained a map of the Qing Prince's residence and studied it. Nineteen was there from after dinner until bedtime. At midnight, I went to the outhouse, and when I returned, Nineteen was gone, along with the map!"

Twenty knelt on the ground: "Your subordinate suspects that Nineteen intends to steal the Lingzhi from the Qingwang Mansion! Even if he is skilled in martial arts and has good lightness skills, he is still directionally challenged by the location of the Qingwang Mansion. Going there would only lead to certain death. Your subordinate begs Your Majesty to allow me to go and investigate."

Nangong Li glanced at An Yi, who was filled with anger and grief: "How could you let that idiot go to the Qing Prince's mansion?! Who wouldn't want to help detoxify their master? But is this something he can do? What's the difference between that and going to his death? He might even implicate our master!"

Twenty: "I wanted to keep an eye on that stupid pig too, but I couldn't keep an eye on him for a moment! Waaah..."

Nangong Li: "Send someone to find out if anything happens at the Qingwang Mansion tonight." Just as he finished speaking, Qingyang entered.

Qingyang glanced at the twenty on the ground and reported to Nangong Li: "At midnight tonight, the Qingwang Mansion's treasury was robbed, then a fire broke out, and an assassin attempted to assassinate the Qingwang. He was almost captured, but I heard that he was rescued by his accomplices! His whereabouts are unknown!"

Upon hearing this, Twenty asked, "Someone saved Nineteen? Who could it be?"

Qingyang: "I just checked the Prince's Palace guards, and they're not our people. We don't know who they are, or whether they were really rescued, or if they were just spreading rumors. We need to investigate. But I heard that the Prince's Palace treasury was completely emptied before the fire!"

"Oh, that's interesting. The heavily guarded royal palace's storeroom was completely emptied and no trace was found. How did the thieves manage to do that? I really want to see the fourth prince's expression right now; it must be quite a sight!" Nangong Li joked.

It has to be said that Nangong Li and Mo Liuyun are truly kindred spirits, both loving to see Nangong Chun's angry and rage-filled face!

He waved for Twenty to leave first, and said he would inquire about Nineteen's whereabouts tomorrow. If he was rescued, that would be a good thing, but if he was captured, that was fate.

An Yi: "Master, why do you think Miss Mo wants to see you? Have you met before?"

Nangong Li: "At first I thought An San had exposed my body, but now even if people are guessing my identity, they should guess that I am the owner of Wangjiang Pavilion. They haven't guessed that it's Prince Pingnan yet. After all, everyone knows that Prince Pingnan rarely leaves the palace and doesn't easily meet people, let alone someone who buys a manor!"

What Nangong Li didn't say was that the person who saved him last time might have been Mo Liuyun, but because he looked like the 'vixen' she described, and he was unconscious at the time, she wasn't sure if it was him or not.

It seems she wants to confirm again tomorrow if it is true, and if not, she will consider who she is and whether she is worth saving. Nangong Li is quite certain that if Mo Liuyun saved him that day, with her medical skills she must know that the two medicines are the key to the detoxification, and that medicine must be in her hands, not in her master's hands!

Just as An Yi helped Nangong Li to bed and was about to close the door, Qingyang came to report: "Master, Nineteen is back!"
