Chapter 123 Night Diving
In the middle of the night, when people were asleep, large flakes of snowflakes slowly fell from the night sky, and fell silently on the quiet and peaceful Yuwang Mansion.

At this time, two masked men in night clothes appeared at the base of the wall in the northwest corner of the palace.Under the cover of night, they walked quickly on the secluded path, avoiding the guards watching the night, and finally sneaked into the greenhouse located in the southwest of the palace.

It was snowing heavily and extremely cold outside, but inside the greenhouse was warm and harmonious. Those flowers that were not supposed to bloom in this season, looked extremely delicate and beautiful against the backdrop of more than a dozen candles.

After the two men in black entered the greenhouse, they searched quickly by candlelight.

One of the men in black tore off his scarf, "My lord, I searched around for a while, but I didn't see the enchanting grass you mentioned."

The one who spoke was none other than Song Erlang who followed Yan Li into the Prince Yu's mansion.

Hearing this, Yan Li took out the sweat towel with the sketch of the ghost from his arms, took it to the candlelight and looked at it carefully, and saw a plant similar to aloe vera, purple flowers and white stamens painted on it, and the name of this thing was written next to it. growth habit.

"Doctor Ge said that Phantom Soul Grass loves temperature and is afraid of cold, light, humidity and airtightness. As long as you look for it according to these characteristics, you will be able to find it."

After Yan Li finished speaking, he handed the sweat towel to Song Erlang, and he searched for the magic soul grass in the greenhouse again.

But after looking around, I didn't even see the shadow of the enchanting soul grass.

He stopped and observed the layout of the greenhouse carefully. The greenhouse was surrounded by a thick layer of quilts to keep out the wind, and candles and charcoal basins were lit. There was no other smell in it except the fragrance of flowers, which showed the ventilation effect of the greenhouse. very good.

At this time, a drop of water dripped from above and happened to land on his forehead.Yan Li glanced at the top of the greenhouse for a few moments, and suddenly he was enlightened.

He looked around a few times, and his eyes fell on the flower stand beside him.Take three steps and two steps to the flower stand, and move all the flowerpots on the shelf to the ground. Without the cover of the flowerpots, the flower stand becomes a step ladder.

Yan Li asked Song Erlang to go to the door to watch the wind, while he climbed up the ladder, and saw that the top of the greenhouse was half glazed tiles and half glass tiles.

The glass tiles are facing the middle of the greenhouse, and there is a finger-wide gap between every two tiles. The snow falls along the gap and is caught by the transparent silk gauze below. The snow on the gauze melted into water droplets and fell down.

The other half of the glazed tiles are distributed on both sides of the glass tiles. There is a two-foot-wide wooden platform under the tiles on each side. Several flower pots are placed on the wooden platform, and the two outermost flower pots are planted with charms. soul grass.

Yan Li didn't know the plants planted in the remaining flower pots. To be cautious, he folded some of the Enchantment Grass and the unknown plant, and planned to take them back for Dr. Ge to have a look at.

After finishing these, Yan Li and Song Erlang were about to evacuate, when they suddenly heard footsteps approaching from far away, accompanied by a complaining male voice: "It's freezing cold, everyone is sleeping in the nest." We feel that we are unlucky to have such an errand.”

As soon as this person finished speaking, someone answered again: "Stop talking nonsense, finish it earlier and go back to sleep."

The sound of footsteps had already reached the door, and they would definitely meet those two people head-on when they went out now, Yan Li and Song Erlang quickly lifted the quilt by the wall, shrunk their bodies and hid behind the quilt.

The door was pushed open with a creak, and two middle-aged men dressed as servants came in rubbing their hands.After the two came in, the tall manservant looked up at the ground, frowned and said, "I should have come earlier, the ground is full of water."

The short manservant muttered, "It's too late."

The tall man glanced at him, but didn't answer.Zhou Zhou moved the flower pots on the flower stand to the ground in threes and ones at the corner, then climbed onto the stand, and cleaned the snow from the gaps in the glass tiles with his hands before coming down.

While he was doing these things, the short manservant used a cloth towel to wipe the accumulated water on the ground bit by bit. After dealing with the accumulated water, he took another wooden bucket and placed it where the previous accumulated water had been.

After finishing all this, the short manservant looked at his companion and said, "It's finally done, let's go back to sleep."

The tall manservant nodded.

After the sound of those two people's footsteps disappeared, Yan Li and Song Erlang came out from behind the quilt, and they planned to go back the same way.

The two tiptoed out of the greenhouse, but they bumped into the guard who came out to relieve themselves. When the guard saw them, his eyes widened, "Come on, yes!"

Yan Li broke his neck before he finished speaking.

But it also alarmed the other guards, Yan Li and Song Erlang ran all the way to the northwest corner of the palace.Just when the two were about to cross the wall, the arrows behind them rushed like rain.

Yan Li was not in a hurry to dodge, he only heard a bang, and the arrow with a cold light instantly sank into his upper right arm, and he was carried by inertia, and fell headfirst.

Song Erlang hurriedly helped him up.

At this time, the guards of the palace chased after them. In order to distract the pursuers, the two separated and fled.Fortunately, they were lucky, although they were in a very embarrassing situation, they managed to escape the pursuit of the palace.

Yan's house, main courtyard

When Qi Tanying was having a good dream, she was suddenly awakened by a rustling sound. She opened her eyes and saw a figure flickering beside the bed.

She called softly: "Husband?"

"It's me." A familiar voice came from the darkness, and then the candle was lit, and a stern face appeared under the candlelight.

After seeing Yan Li, Qi Tanying breathed a sigh of relief.

The next moment, her heart rose again because she saw her husband's arm was injured.

She looked at him worriedly, "Why are you hurt?"

Yan Li smiled at her, "No problem."

She was so far away from him, and she could smell the strong smell of blood, how could it be okay.

Qi Tanying hurriedly went to the outside room to wake up Ting Lan, and asked her to invite Dr. Ge over quietly.Ting Lan hurried there, and within a quarter of an hour, Dr. Ge followed Ting Lan to the main courtyard.

Ting Lan came to invite her in a hurry, Dr. Ge thought that Qi Tanying was unwell, but when she arrived, she realized that it was Yan Li who really had something wrong.

Qi Tanying said to Doctor Ge with an apologetic face: "Doctor Ge, I'm really sorry to bother you so late."

Dr. Ge waved his hand, "Ma'am, you are serious."

After checking Yan Li's injuries, Ting Lan asked Ting Lan to prepare scissors and spirits. After everything was ready, she began to treat Yan Li's injuries.

After Dr. Ge pulled out the arrowhead for him, he applied medicine to bandage him, and at the same time told him, "The wound should not be wet for a few days, and no big movements should be made."

As he spoke, he glanced at Yan Li, "The old man suggested that it is best for your lord to take a leave of absence for a few days to recuperate, otherwise it will not be conducive to the recovery of the wound."

Yan Li shook his head, they alarmed the guards of Prince Yu's mansion tonight, if he asked for leave at this time, King Yu would definitely suspect that he was the one who sneaked into the mansion of Prince Yu.

Thinking of this, he took out the flowers and plants from Prince Yu's Mansion from his arms, picked out two plants and asked Doctor Ge to help identify them.
