Chapter 263 Entering the Prince's Mansion
Shunzi also helped him prepare food, but Shunzi's cooking skills were not very good, and the food he made was just barely enough to fill him up.
Mo Xiuyan was weak and had no appetite, so he just ate a few bites and then stopped.
Just at this time, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran came, bringing sea cucumber rice porridge and side dishes.
Mo Jiuye fed his fourth brother a little more, and then He Zhiran gave Shunzi several medicines suitable for his fourth brother and asked Shunzi to give them to him on time.
Mo Xiuyan took the medicine and saw that the two were still dressed in their disguises, so he asked, "Ninth brother, are you still planning to go out?"
Mo Xiuyan was too weak today, and Mo Jiuye only told him about the exile when talking about the situation at home. Mo Xiuyan didn't know the details, nor did he know the real purpose of Mo Jiuye coming to Southern Xinjiang.
If Fourth Brother was in good health, Mo Jiuye would choose to tell him these things, but in his current condition, he probably couldn't withstand any more blows, so Mo Jiuye planned to conceal these things for the time being.
Of course, as a man of the Mo family, he has the right to know these things. Mo Jiuye will choose to tell him after his fourth brother's health has improved.
"Fourth brother, Ranran and I came here to look for something. Once we find it, we'll go back to the northwest together."
Mo Xiuyan didn't know what his ninth brother was looking for that had him traveling thousands of miles to Southern Xinjiang. He didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded gently: "You must be more careful when you go out."
"Fourth brother, don't worry!" Mo Jiuye said, and then asked Shunzi to take good care of Mo Xiuyan, and then left with He Zhiran.
The two's goal today is the Prince's Mansion in Southern Xinjiang, to complete the second goal of their trip to Southern Xinjiang.
Because the fourth princess of Dashun who came here to marry the prince of Southern Xinjiang, the most likely place to find Danpi is in the prince's mansion.
Mo Jiuye had once led his army to attack the capital of southern Xinjiang, so he was familiar with the terrain here.
The two of them sped along and soon arrived outside the Prince's Mansion.
It has to be said that the guards at the Prince's Mansion are very strict. Just from what one can see with the naked eye, there are two teams of soldiers patrolling back and forth in front of the door, and no one knows how many more are in the dark.
Even if they plan to climb over the wall, they have to be wary of spies hidden in the dark, which shows that the difficulty is extremely high.
Even so, it did not deter Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran from their determination to enter the Prince's Mansion to find out the truth.
The two men pretended to pass by here and walked around the wall of the Prince's Mansion to the backyard.
The guards there were less vigilant than in the front yard, but there were still a few guards patrolling back and forth.
Mo Jiuye seized the opportunity, picked up He Zhiran, jumped, and jumped into the courtyard wall.
At this moment, a team of guards happened to be patrolling over. He quickly pulled He Zhiran and hid in the corner. After the guards were far away, the two of them walked out carefully.
In order to be able to move freely in the Prince's Mansion which was so heavily guarded, Mo Jiuye came up with a plan.
He saw two night watchmen walking over from a distance. After he and He Zhiran exchanged a glance, they both went around behind the night watchmen, knocked them out with a sharp knife each, and quickly changed their clothes and took the tools they used for night watch.
In order to prevent the unconscious night watchmen from waking up, He Zhiran gave each of them an injection to ensure that there would be no problem.
It's not that they are soft-hearted, especially He Zhiran, who was a military doctor in his previous life and would never take human lives lightly, except for those who have committed heinous crimes.
These two night watchmen were obviously servants bought by the Prince's Mansion. People like them only earned their living through their labor, so there was no need to kill them all.
After taking care of everything here, He Zhiran carried a lantern, and Mo Jiuye walked around the Prince's Mansion with a bamboo stick used for night watchmen.
Mo Jiuye was familiar with the terrain of the capital of Southern Xinjiang, but he was not very clear about the structure of the Prince's Mansion.
They could only rely on their experience to search. The fourth princess of Dashun married the prince of Southern Xinjiang as his principal wife, so her courtyard should be larger in comparison. Therefore, the two of them specifically looked for a larger courtyard to check.
Before they knew it, they arrived in front of a large courtyard.
This courtyard is very unique. It is brightly lit from the outside, and melodious music can be heard from inside.
In addition, Mo Jiuye, who had excellent hearing, could also hear bursts of women's laughter.
Just when he was about to observe further, two secret guards in black suddenly appeared in front of him.
The secret guard drove the two away in a deep voice: "You two should leave immediately. Do you think you can spy on the Crown Prince's place?"
Mo Jiuye pulled He Zhiran along and nodded to the two secret guards: "Yes, yes, we'll leave now."
Although the peeping was driven away by the secret guards, they did not gain nothing. At least they knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Southern Xinjiang was among them.
It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows how to enjoy himself. This is a good thing as it does not hinder their search for the whereabouts of the Fourth Princess.
After leaving the prince's place, the two continued walking towards the back.
Not long after walking out, he saw a woman dressed as a maid running towards the prince's bedroom in a panic.
Perhaps the maid was too anxious and ran to a place not far from them, and she stepped on something and fell.
He Zhiran took the opportunity to step forward and help the person up, and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Sister, please be careful."
The maid grabbed He Zhiran's arm and stood up with great effort. As a result, her ankle seemed to be sprained, and she almost fell down after taking a step.
Now, the maidservant became even more anxious.
"Young man, please go to the Crown Prince and report that the Crown Princess has fainted. Please ask him to send a witch doctor to take a look."
He Zhiran was well aware that people in southern Xinjiang visited witch doctors. She just didn't understand why the princess of a country had to go through the prince to invite a witch doctor?
Moreover, she could tell that the maid spoke with a Dashun accent and should be the maid who came with the Fourth Princess as a dowry.
Mo Jiuye also noticed this. In order to prevent the maid from noticing that He Zhiran's accent was wrong, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince's place is simply not accessible to people like us."
"What should we do? The Crown Princess is so seriously ill. If we don't ask a witch doctor to come and see her, she might lose her life." The maid was about to cry, which showed how helpless she was at the moment.
Seeing this, He Zhiran quickly gave Mo Jiuye a wink.
Mo Jiuye understood immediately and said, "This little brother's ancestor was a witch doctor, and he also knows some medical skills. Why don't you let him go and help the Crown Princess first, and then you can find someone to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
The maidservant knew that in her current situation, it would probably take a lot of time to go to the Crown Prince for help. This place was close to the Crown Princess's bedroom, so she would take two people back to help take a look, and she could also let others go to find the Crown Prince.
