"Are you saying that in the entire capital, only Fourth Imperial Brother has a Snow Toad?”Nangong Ling asked the black-robed man in front of him in disbelief. His expression was extremely ugly.
"Yes."
The man only said one word, but his words revealed the heaviness in his heart.
"Other than the Snow Toad in his hands, can you get anything else within half a month?”Nangong Ling asked, unwilling to give up.
The man in black pursed his lips and shook his head.""Snow toads only appear at the peak of the snowy mountains and are extremely rare. In recent years, only two have appeared. This subordinate has found out that the other snow toad is far away in Beichen Country.”
Hearing this, Nangong Ling could not help but clench his fists tightly. There was a hint of struggle in his eyes.
"Your Highness, I don't understand. Since the Snow Toad is in Xuan Prince's hands, why don't you go and ask for it yourself?”The black-clothed man asked anxiously.
It turned out that this man was one of the secret guards trained by Nangong Mo, Mo Ying. He knew the importance of the Snow Toad to Nangong Mo and Nangong Ling, and he could not wait for his true master Nangong Mo to quickly recover to his original state.
However, the moment Moying's words left his mouth, Nangong Ling's face couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile as he said,""Since the Snow Toad is so precious, if I rashly ask for it, I believe it will arouse the suspicion of Fourth Imperial Brother.”
If it was before, he might have gone to the Xuan Prince's mansion without hesitation for Fifth Brother. However, after Lady Mu told him that Fifth Brother was poisoned, he did not allow himself to have such thoughts.
Although he did not interfere in the palace's struggles and was used to being unruly, he also understood the benefits involved. If he took a wrong step, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Nangong Ling slowly closed his eyes to hide the pain in them.
"What does Your Highness plan to do?" Moying asked.
Hearing that, Nangong Ling suddenly opened his eyes as he looked at Moying,""Go and prepare the other medicinal ingredients first. I will think of a way to deal with the Snow Toad.”
"Yes, sir!"
Moying received the order and swiftly left Pian Ruo Palace like a Buddha. Nangong Ling pondered for a moment before leaving Pian Ruo Palace as well.
The market in the capital had always been crowded. At this moment, all kinds of hawking sounds were mixed together, making it very lively. Occasionally, the fragrance of various snacks and pastries would fill the air, arousing people's appetite.
" Qing Yi Qing Yi, I want to eat this!" Nangong Mo pointed at the candied haws and shouted excitedly.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyi did not say anything and handed over a copper coin in exchange for a candied haws. After getting the candied haws, the smile on Nangong Mo's face grew wider.
Looking at Nangong Mo's smile, Mu Qingyi felt that it was right to bring him out.
At this moment, some people in the surroundings seemed to have recognized Nangong Mo's silly smile. They could not help but stop in their tracks and point at him. Some even covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
Mu Qingyi could not help but frown at this situation. However, when she saw Nangong Mo's innocent smile, Mu Qingyi's expression eased a little.
"Qing Yi, those people are so strange.”Nangong Mo finally noticed the strangeness of the people around him. He could not help but tug at Mu Qingyi's sleeve. His smile was replaced by nervousness.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyi's eyes inadvertently swept across the crowd. For some reason, those people avoided her.
"Don't be afraid. They won't dare to hurt you.”Mu Qingyi said gently. Then, she took the initiative to hold Nangong Mo's hand and walked forward.
The two maidservants and Mo Zhu, who were originally following behind the two of them, quickly followed. However, at this moment, Mo Zhu looked at Mu Qingyi with a hint of doubt and complexity.
After taking a few more steps, Nangong Mo stopped in front of the mask stall and shouted for a mask. Mu Qingyi let Nangong Mo choose his own. At this time, on the opposite building, a man in luxurious clothes stared in Nangong Mo's direction.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:39PM
