"Princess Huihe is here, and the work in the front is almost done. Do you want to go and take a look?" Qi Liang walked over from the front and said to Qi Xu.

Qi Xu nodded, put away the drawing, and then went forward.

"Thank you, Miss." Qi Liang bowed to Song Mingli.

At some point, he seemed to have positioned himself as "Song Mingli's chief steward" and addressed Song Mingli as "Miss".

Looking at this tycoon who served under the third prince in his previous life and was a powerful figure in the business world.

Now, in front of me, he is so respectful and elegant.

Song Mingli always felt dazed.

"I should thank you. Don't be so polite." Song Mingli said sincerely.

Qi Liang smiled without further explanation. His attitude was even more sincere than Song Mingli's.

No matter how many words of thanks you say and how nice they sound, they are all empty.

The eldest lady trusts him so much and takes such good care of her younger brother, he will definitely treat the eldest lady's affairs as his own.

He will make all the properties that the eldest daughter has entrusted to him bigger and stronger.

When Song Mingli came to the front from the backyard, he found that Yufulou was already crowded.

I don’t know if everyone came to support Princess Huihe, or if Qi Liang’s pre-promotion was too good, so everyone came for Qi Xu’s design.

With so many people, there is no need for relatives and friends to show their support.

After Song Mingli paid his respects to Princess Huihe, he left through the back door.

"I've been busy with Yufulou's affairs these days, and I haven't been able to spend enough time with Jingyou," Song Mingli said to Molan as he got on the carriage. "Let's go outside Cui's house, wait for Jingyou to take a nap, and take him out to eat."

Both the Wang and Cui schools had lunch, nap time, and private rooms.

However, if the student’s family comes to pick him up, it is also okay for him not to have lunch in the school.

Molan has followed Jingyou for a long time and is very familiar with the situation of this school.

Not long after the carriage started moving, someone outside rode up on a horse and knocked on the wall of the carriage.

Molan frowned, lifted the car window curtain and looked out.

Song Mingli also glanced outside.

The man riding a horse and walking outside the carriage looked unfamiliar to her, as if she had never seen him before.

But Molan didn't seem to be unfamiliar with the man. Molan nodded at him. The man made a few gestures and rode away on his horse.

Molan lowered the car curtain and looked at Song Mingli with a serious expression.

"Miss, we are being followed."

Song Mingli was stunned. "Whose man?"

"There are people from Xili Country, and there are also people from the streets of Kyoto." Molan said in a deep voice, "Should we still go to Cui's house? Or should we go back home directly?"

Song Mingli was silent for a moment.

People from Xili Kingdom and the common people in the market.

Pei Yuqing hasn't given up yet?

What is she planning to do this time?

"How many of us are there?" Song Mingli asked.

"Ah?" Molan was slightly stunned when she heard the words, her face embarrassed and she stammered.

Song Mingli snorted and laughed, "Do you think I'm stupid? Did Big Brother secretly send someone to follow us?"

"I didn't tell you not to follow me, why are you hiding it from me?"

Song Mingli has already pointed it out, so Molan shouldn't feel embarrassed anymore.

But Song Mingli discovered that Molan was smiling awkwardly and actually picking her fingers.

This girl looks like...it seems like she didn't guess everything right.

"Not someone sent by big brother?" Song Mingli asked with a frown.

Molan smiled awkwardly, "Yes, it was someone sent by the young master."

Song Mingli glanced at her and said, "Zi Su didn't tell you, you are not very good at lying?"

"Hmm?" Molan stopped picking her fingers. "Ah, not only the young master's people, but also the people sent by Prince Jing and the Crown Prince."

When Song Mingli heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

This is Kyoto, the capital city under the feet of the emperor, the most secure and peaceful place in Beili.

Does she need so many people to protect her?

"Why, Prince Jing and Jingyou sent two more groups of people?" Song Mingli asked, taking a breath as if he had a toothache.

"Prince Jing sent two secret guards to protect us secretly." Molan's expression was also like a toothache. "The prince felt that two people were not enough, so after he went to Prince Jing's mansion, he sent two more secret guards over."

Song Mingli: ...

At the beginning, she promised her son that she would protect him for the rest of her life.

In the end, it was her son who sent someone to protect her?

What this mother did is really shameful.

"Okay, add my brother's men and you," Song Mingli calculated, "the people following us should not be our opponents, right?"

Molan was not vague this time. She nodded heavily, "I dare not be arrogant, but those guys are all good fighters who can fight a hundred people with one."

"The secret guards sent by Prince Jing are experienced fighters on the battlefield. You can rest assured."

Song Mingli nodded. "Such a good condition, it would be a waste to just avoid her."

"On the contrary, it made her think that I was weak and easy to bully, and she kept provoking me."

Mo Lan's eyes narrowed, "Miss, what do you want to do? Capture their people?"

Song Mingli shook his head. "They just followed us quietly and didn't do anything. Why are you arresting them?"

"What's more, she is a princess from Xili Country who came here as an envoy. If we arrest her carelessly, it might cause a big conflict."

"Then the lady wants to..." Molan stared at Song Mingli.

She saw a familiar expression on Song Mingli's face, which looked a bit like... That's right! A bit like Jingyou who was about to do something bad.

Ugh! You got it wrong. It should be Jingyou who looks like Song Mingli!

"Tell the driver that we are going to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense."

Song Mingli said seriously, "Second brother will be back soon, let's go and pray for him."

Molan took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

On the way to Xiangguo Temple, you have to pass through a long, deserted road with mountains and forests on both sides.

"Also, signal the secret guards and tell them not to rush into action." Song Mingli's eyes were deep, with a cold smile on his lips, "Wait until the other party reveals their true purpose, and then take action when the time is right."

Molan became excited immediately after hearing this.

"Yes! Don't worry, Miss!"

The driver turned the horse around and the carriage galloped towards the outskirts of Beijing.

……

"Master Feng, it's bad, the princess...she hasn't come back yet!"

Princess Yuqing's maid hurriedly found Feng Hao.

Feng Hao's face tensed when he heard this, and he stood up suddenly, "Where did she go?"

The maid turned pale and stammered.

Feng Hao slammed the table angrily, "If something happens to the princess, can you take responsibility?"

The maid didn't dare to hide it anymore, and quickly told the whole story, "...The princess didn't ask me to follow her. But she hasn't come back for such a long time, and I feel uneasy."

"Idiot!" Feng Hao cursed angrily, "This is Kyoto! This is Bei Li's territory! People have never touched her, does she think that people dare not?"

Feng Hao was so angry that his face turned blue, but he couldn't just ignore it.

He quickly sent out his men to look for it.

But with such limited manpower, looking for someone in Kyoto is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Feng Hao didn't dare to delay any longer. The longer he delayed, the greater the possibility of something going wrong.

After much deliberation, he finally went to the Third Prince's mansion for help.

"What does it mean that the person is missing?" The third prince frowned slightly and stared at Feng Hao with a dim gaze.

"If you don't tell the truth, I'm afraid I can't help you."
