After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Song Mingli's heart suddenly tightened. It was indeed him.

In the previous life, among the Third Prince’s advisers, there was a man who was skilled in using poison and had a cruel and ruthless heart.

He used poison to force many people to submit to the Third Prince and serve him.

But wasn't he the Third Prince's adviser? How did he become the East Palace's adviser now?

Song Mingli's eyes fell on Jingyou who was standing beside him...

In his previous life, Jingyou had his tongue cut off by Prince Ping, and it was said that it was instigated by the strategist Cheng Li.

In this life, the third prince has not even been given the title of king, and he has shut himself in his house and has not seen anyone. All the guests in his house have left.

Song Mingli also asked his eldest brother to help keep an eye out for whether there was a retainer named Cheng Li in the Third Prince's mansion.

The eldest brother never found him, but unexpectedly, he ran to the East Palace!

When Song Mingli heard this name, his palms began to feel cold.

After a lifetime, unexpectedly, Cheng Li's idea would hit Jingyou again.

"We're not going to the East Palace." Song Mingli looked at Jingyou and said.

Cheng Li is an extremely ruthless person and hard to guard against. How could she let Jingyou take the risk?

"I'm afraid it won't work..." Jingyou looked at Chu Yanchen, "Father, you resigned from your post and asked for permission to go to your fiefdom. Has it been approved?"

Song Mingli also quickly looked at Chu Yanchen.

Chu Yanchen smiled awkwardly, "The job is over, but... you are not allowed to leave Beijing."

Without the soldiers, there were only two hundred servants in the palace, including the secret guards.

Two hundred people cannot make any waves in Kyoto.

Song Mingli obviously did not count the Dragon Shadow Guards.

"The prince said that Xiyuan likes Jingyou very much and has made great progress studying with Jingyou. He wants to keep Jingyou to study with Xiyuan." Chu Yanchen said truthfully.

Song Mingli's face darkened. The prince meant that even if Chu Yanchen was going to his fiefdom, Jingyou would have to stay in the Eastern Palace as a hostage.

"We will stay in Kyoto and not go anywhere, but Jingyou will not go to the East Palace to study. Is that okay?" Song Mingli said.

"Mother," Jingyou suddenly held Song Mingli's hand, "I know you are worried about me, but the Crown Prince has not agreed yet, so I will not go to the East Palace. I am afraid that the Crown Prince will be worried."

"Don't worry, mother. I will be careful. If you are worried, let Nanxing pick a smart and capable maid to follow me."

Song Mingli had a stern face and his eyes showed disapproval.

Jingyou laughed and said, "How can one grow up without going through hardships? If I hear the slightest sign of trouble, I will be so scared that I dare not even go out. What can my mother expect from me in the future?"

Looking at his son's bright and confident smile, Song Mingli felt completely softened.

The thing she regretted most in her previous life was that she did not protect Jingyou well.

Therefore, making Jingyou safe and happy is her greatest wish in this life.

But now, Jingyou has his own wishes. He wants to grow, to become strong, and to stand on his own in the face of difficulties and challenges.

Should she let go and let him grow according to her wishes?

Or find a way to protect him safely?

Chu Yanchen looked at his son, his eyes showing both love and deep relief.

Long Yi also looked at the young Prince Jing.

He also heard about Jingyou's heroic performance in the hunting grounds.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard that he was just a little kid being chased by a dozen men in black, but he was not panicked at all.

Not only did he protect the Crown Prince, he was also able to knock down several men in black and hold on until reinforcements arrived.

He has such courage and ability at such a young age. If he grows up, he will definitely be able to remain in the background.

People are naturally attracted to the strong, and this is especially true for the Dragon Shadow Guards who are the strongest among the strong.

“Master, rest assured. The Dragon Shadow Guards will protect the prince and will never let him fall into danger.” Long Yi bowed.

Chu Yanchen nodded to Song Mingli.

My son is right. The prince has not yet agreed to the strategist, and today he said in front of my father that Jingyou should continue to study with Xiyuan.

I won’t go tomorrow, and I won’t go the day after tomorrow. I can’t just hide away forever.

However, something has quietly changed in Chu Yanchen's deep eyes...

Song Mingli was worried, but facing Jingyou's confident and expectant eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse him and nodded with difficulty.

That night, Song Mingli listed all the preventive measures he could think of on paper and asked Jingyou to remember them.

Although Jingyou was young, he knew that this was his mother's deep love for him.

He was not impatient at all. Instead, he read it carefully from beginning to end and said he would take note of it.

Afraid that Song Mingli would not believe it, he asked her to ask random questions.

This child has a good memory. No matter which question he draws, he can answer it immediately.

Only then did Song Mingli burn the note and hugged Jingyou tightly in his arms.

"You must, protect yourself." Song Mingli whispered.

At the same time, Long Yi appeared in the emperor's bedroom.

"How did he perform?" The emperor lay on the dragon couch. The huge bedroom was very quiet, with only a lamp lit in the distance.

In the bedroom, Long Yi knelt on one knee ten steps away.

"Reporting to the Emperor, Prince Jing...he..."

The emperor was originally facing inwards, with his back to him, listening to him hesitantly speaking.

The emperor suddenly sat up from the dragon couch, "What's wrong with him? Does he have rebellious intentions?"

The corners of Long Yi's mouth twitched...it would be better to have it.

"After I met Prince Jing, he called the princess and the prince to come and asked me to acknowledge him as my master."

"After I said that the Dragon Shadow Guard can only have one master, Prince Jing actually asked me to recognize the princess as my master."

Long Yi's expression was hard to describe.

The emperor was also stunned for a moment.

The words "lust blinds one's mind" were on Long Yi's lips. If the emperor asked one more question, he would probably say it out loud.

Unexpectedly, after being stunned for a moment, the emperor actually burst into laughter.

"I was right about him! He really has no desire to compete!"

Long Yi:......

But it's not okay to be blinded by lust.

"Do you mind if he asks you to recognize a woman as your master? Did you do so?"

"of course not!"

"He allowed you to deny it? So easy to talk to?"

Long Yi paused, "It was the princess who persuaded Prince Jing. The princess said that the strong admire the strong. She, a woman, can't suppress us, and we don't obey her."

The light from the eternal lamp in the distance was not very bright, but it made the emperor's majestic face look particularly kind.

"He is not blinded by lust. He has no selfish motives."

"His ability and your presence by his side are enough to keep his family safe." The emperor smiled.

Long Yi immediately fell silent and said no more respectfully.

"Go, follow him. As long as it's not a matter of treason, just follow his orders."

"Yes."

A gust of wind blew by, and the flame of the eternal lamp dimmed for a moment, then quickly recovered.

But Long Yi was no longer in the hall.

The next morning, Jingyou took a carriage to the East Palace as usual.

However, today, Chu Yanchen and Song Mingli were both on the carriage, and the couple went together to send their son to the palace to study.

"My eyelids have been twitching."

I watched Jingyou being led into the East Palace by a familiar palace servant, accompanied by Nanxing, the diligent, intelligent and talented little apprentice.

Song Mingli couldn't help but mutter.
