After rebirth, I became the widow of my mortal enemy

Chapter 173 No Need to Rush

"I don't know. I never told him. For the safety of my master, I never went back after I went down the mountain." Ning Miao said.

Yan Mobai raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It seems that you don't completely trust him. What's the point of saying you are absolutely loyal to him?"

Ning Miao wanted to say that it was not because she did not trust King Kang, but because she was afraid that the enemy would harm her master.

Thinking about it, I still didn’t say it.

These are all things of the past.

She was now extremely grateful that she had not told King Kang at that time.

"Are you at ease letting my people go?" Yan Mobai asked.

Ning Miao looked at him.

Isn't this nonsense?

"Are you not sure I will let your people go?"

Yan Mobai smiled, as if he was pleased by these words, with a long smile on his eyes and eyebrows.

"Then let Lan Ying go. Anyway, you are him these days, and he can't show up."

Ning Miao nodded: "Okay, I will write a letter to Master and let Guard Lan take it. Master will give Zhui Die to him after reading the letter."

"Ah."

After lunch, Ning Miao went to sleep again.

She found that she felt really sleepy during her pregnancy, and she had not slept well during her time at the Dali Temple. Now that she was completely relaxed, she could sleep especially well.

It was already mid-afternoon when I woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Yan Mobai sitting at a table not far from her, reading a book.

She didn't move either, just lay there looking at him.

He was very focused, turning the pages of the book in his hand from time to time, and picking up the pen and making a few strokes on the paper in front of him.

The mid-afternoon sunlight filtered in through the window lattice, falling on the table in front of him, leaving mottled circles of light.

Ning Miao narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little dazed.

Chi Feng brought in a bowl of medicine and then quietly left. Only then did Yan Mobai put down the pen in his hand.

He picked up the porcelain bowl and took a sip of the medicine. Then he turned his head to look at the bed and met Ning Miao's eyes.

"woke up?"

Ning Miao stood up.

"Didn't Doctor Hu tell you to lie down? Why aren't you sleeping? You've already asked for leave, but you still have to deal with official business?"

"It's not official business." Yan Mobai put down the porcelain bowl in his hand and reached out to her.

Ning Miao walked over.

But she did not walk up to him, nor did she give him her hand, because she knew that if she gave it to him, he would definitely pull her to sit on his lap.

That would touch the wound on his body.

She walked across to his desk and glanced at the book he was reading.

It was the book "Ten Thousand Characters Interpretation" that Lan Ying gave her that day.

"I'm naming my child and I've chosen these words, one for a boy and one for a girl. You can pick one for each one."

Yan Mobai handed her a piece of paper full of words.

Ning Miao: “…”

The child isn't formed yet.

Ning Miao took it, lowered his eyes to take a look, and suddenly felt a headache.

A piece of paper filled with words.

Not only did he write down the chosen characters, but he also noted the meaning and allusions of the characters on the side.

Half of the boy's face, half of the girl's face.

But she couldn't see it at all.

"Put it aside for now. I'll pick it slowly." Ning Miao folded the paper and put it into his sleeve.

Yan Mobai looked at her but didn't force her.

He lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the porcelain bowl, and drank the medicine in it in one gulp.

When the yellow-brown soup enters your mouth, the bitterness fills your lips and teeth, spreading all the way to your throat and stomach.

Suppressing the bitterness in his heart, he frowned and said, "Do you have candied fruit? Give me one."

"A lot."

Ning Miao took out a paper bag from his sleeve, opened it, picked up a pill with two fingers and handed it to him.

I thought he would catch it with his hands, but he suddenly leaned over, lowered his head, and opened his mouth to take it.

The warm lips wrapped around her two fingertips, and Ning Miao felt as if she was hit by a ball of fire, and her breathing trembled.

Yan Mobai raised his tongue tip, and it slid across her fingertips like a nimble snake.

Ning Miao shuddered again when she felt the slippery touch. She withdrew her hand. Yan Mobai had already put the candied fruit into his mouth and stood up.

He looked at her, his dark eyes half smiling.

"Yan Mobai, you...did you do this on purpose?" Ning Miao was extremely speechless.

Yan Mobai looked innocent: "When you took the pill from my palm with your mouth, I didn't think you did it on purpose."

Ning Miao: “…”

This man!

Can't you just learn something?

"My hands were injured at the time and were wrapped in bandages, so I couldn't use my hands to receive the ball."

Yan Mobai nodded: "Although my hands are not injured at the moment, the injuries on my body are too severe, and I don't have the strength to raise my hands to receive it."

Ning Miao: “…”

She lowered her eyes and looked at her fingertips.

It seemed as if the warmth of his lips was still lingering on it, making it feel tingling and numb.

She recalled the day when she deliberately took the pill from his palm with her mouth. He reacted greatly, his face changed, and he took a step back in panic, staggering slightly.

Now that she was being teased in the opposite way, she felt the destructive power of her actions.

Her eyelashes trembled, and she picked up a candied fruit and put it into her mouth to suppress the guilt in her heart.

Wrap the paper bag and put it in your sleeve.

She remembered something important.

"By the way, Yan Mobai, can you get the case files of all the missing persons in the capital over the past year?"

"You are the Dali Temple Minister, you should be able to get it, right?"

Yan Mobai was not expecting her sudden request and frowned slightly.

"I have arranged for someone to secretly investigate the alchemist. He was one of the emperor's men. He disappeared at the time and there is no case record."

"I want to see if there are any similar missing cases. I'm free anyway, so I might as well kill time. Can you help me figure it out?" Ning Miao looked earnestly.

Yan Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

I wanted to say, since you have so much free time, why don’t you choose a name for your child?

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he stopped doing them.

He pursed his lips and nodded: "Yeah."

He immediately called out to Chi Feng loudly: "Chi Feng!"

Chi Feng came over upon hearing the sound.

He told Chi Feng.

Chi Feng took the order and left.

Ning Miao moved a stool and sat down opposite Yan Mobai.

"I'll write down for you what I know about the secret locations of King Kang in various places. Do you think it can be of any use?"

As Ning Miao spoke, he spread a piece of white paper in front of him, picked up the pen on the inkstone and started writing.

Yan Mobai looked at her silently.

Seeing that she was writing seriously and attentively, Yan Mobai still spoke: "Ning Miao."

Ning Miao raised his eyes: "Hmm?"

"We have to deal with King Kang and take the initiative, but... there's no need to be so hasty. We have already started from many aspects, right? It just takes some time." Yan Mobai said.

Ning Miao looked at him and saw that his ink-black eyes seemed to contain some hurt and loneliness.

She was startled.

Does this mean she is eager to deal with it and get out of it?

However, she was indeed a little anxious.

Nodding: "Forget about the hidden agent for now. Anyway, all his focus now is on finding me."

She put down the pen and stopped writing.

Yan Mobai stood up from his seat: "My wound hurts a bit, I'll go lie down for a while."

what?

Ning Miao looked at him: "It won't crack again, will it? We still have to listen to the doctor's advice."

She quickly stood up to help him, but he raised his hand to stop her: "It's okay, I can do it myself. If you are really bored, you can go to the study and find a book to read."
