"Your Highness! Those people are all death warriors, nothing can be revealed from them!" The personal guard stepped forward to report.

Chu Yanchen narrowed his eyes. Since they were death squads, they would not leak the information.

How did Song Mingli know that they were lying in ambush here?

It’s such a long journey from Beijing to the northern border, how could she even know that someone was ambushing in Yuquan?

"Your Highness...the arrow is poisoned. Xiao Wu, I'm afraid Xiao Wu can't survive it!" Another guard came to report.

Chu Yanchen's face darkened, "He was injured for me! Tell the imperial physician to treat him with all his strength! We must save his life!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Wu is his shadow guard. He has a similar body shape to him and has deliberately imitated his movements and postures.

Everything was originally planned for this trip out of Beijing, but Song Mingli's reminder made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

After Xiao Wu learned about it, he volunteered to pretend to be him and walk ahead to the northern border.

He disguised himself as a merchant, mixed in with the caravan heading beyond the Great Wall, and followed behind.

He told Xiao Wu and his guards to be careful, but Xiao Wu was still assassinated in Yuquan.

If Song Mingli hadn't reminded him, even though he had superb kung fu and was extremely alert... would he have been poisoned and collapsed by now?

Chu Yanchen felt like his heart was being scratched by a cat.

He wanted to rush back to the capital as soon as possible. He wanted to see her and ask her how she knew...

No, she had already said that.

She said that she lit a perpetual lamp for him and prayed for him, and later she had a vision in a dream that reminded her of this.

Is this really a vision in a dream?

Whatever it was, he wanted to see her! Very much!

Song Mingli, who didn't know that someone was thinking about him, was also thinking about something.

In her previous life, Su Yi had been waiting outside the mansion, waiting for Gu Qingshan to arrange everything in the mansion and pave the way for Gu Huai and Gu Jia. Only then did Su Yi "join" the Gu mansion as Sun's niece and reap the benefits.

In this life, Su Yi can never hope to have a quiet and peaceful life.

Song Mingli originally didn't like listening to operas, especially operas about love between men and women.

But these days, whenever she had free time, she would go to the theater and book a private room to listen to opera.

"This little Taohong sings well, give her a reward." Song Mingli said to Zisu.

Zi Su frowned and looked at her young lady with fear.

"Miss...even if your son-in-law is unreliable, you won't give up on yourself like this, right?" Zi Su was almost crying.

Song Mingli looked at her in confusion, "What's wrong with me?"

Zi Su sniffed, "You've lost hope in men, and now you like women?"

Song Mingli: “…”

Zi Su's eyes were red. "Don't be afraid to admit it. You always follow Xiao Taohong's show. This time, you have rewarded her five times."

Song Mingli nodded, "Yes, she should come to thank me. Hurry up and wipe your tears, give her a reward, and bring her to see me."

Upon hearing this, Zi Su almost broke down and cried.

Song Mingli didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I saw that she was a good singer, so I wanted to ask her to act in a play for me. What are you thinking of? Have you read too many storybooks?"

"what?"

"Go quickly."

Only then did Zi Su go to give a reward to Xiao Taohong with doubt.

Xiao Taohong took off her makeup and came to thank Song Mingli.

Song Mingli was stunned the first time he saw her!

No wonder this little Taohong became famous all over the country and was even invited to perform in the palace.

She really has the talent! Her sparkling eyes can make women's hearts ripple.

Xiao Taohong is still young and her singing skills are not as good as when she was famous in her previous life, but she has already shown the potential to be an oiran.

"It turns out that the one who rewards me every time is actually a lady. Thank you, madam!" Xiao Taohong quickly put away her charm and bowed to Song Mingli politely.

Song Mingli couldn't help but sigh inwardly, some people are truly born with charm.

Little Peach Blossom has lost its deliberate charm, but it is more heart-warming.

As a woman, she wanted to go forward and give her a hand.

"I like your plays very much," Song Mingli said with a smile, "I would also like to ask you to sing a play for me, is that possible?"

Xiao Taohong was a little embarrassed, "I can't make the decision, I'm afraid I have to ask the class owner."

"We don't need the entire troupe. I only need you. You can come when you are free." Song Mingli said.

Xiao Taohong looked alert, "I'm alone? I can't perform a show."

"We can sing," Song Mingli took out a silver note of 100 taels and placed it on the coffee table. "If you have any trusted friends, you can come along. It doesn't have to be many. Just bring yourself. Two or three people will be enough."

Xiao Taohong stared at the silver note worth one hundred taels, with a flash of longing in her eyes.

"This play is not difficult for you." Song Mingli said with a smile.

Xiao Taohong took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision, "Excuse me, Madam, which play is it?"

……

When Song Mingli came out of the theater, it was already dark.

Zi Su looked at her profile from time to time, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Sitting in the carriage, she finally couldn't help but said, "Miss, why are you doing this? Since you know that the prince has a mistress, you can just go and catch him in the act! Why go through so much trouble?"

The carriage was shaking gently, but Song Mingli's eyes were calm and steady.

"The mistress has caught her mistress, and there will be excitement in Kyoto again." Song Mingli said, "But for me, other than making a fool of myself for the people of Kyoto, what benefit can I get?"

"Ah?" Zi Su was stunned. "At least, at least we can catch that woman and beat her up to vent our anger!"

Song Mingli shook his head, "If the prince and the marquis's mansion both protect her, I will be the only one who suffers.

“If Gu Qingshan takes her into the mansion as a concubine, then every time they meet in the mansion, he will think of this and then hate me.”

Song Mingli smiled.

"I'm not afraid of them hating me, but I can make them hate each other. Why should I stand between them and take the blame?

"Besides, the smell is good when it is far away, and it is bad when it is close. Su Yi should come to the mansion earlier to experience this truth. I want to see if they are really in love and made for each other?

"If there were more daily trivialities and daily necessities between them, would they still be so affectionate?"

Song Mingli remembered it deeply.

Before she died, Gu Qingshan put his arm around Su Yi's shoulders and showed his affection in front of her bed.

In this life, she wants to disrupt their wishful thinking and let Su Yi enter the house early to see if they can still be so loving.

Besides, how could it be enough to just let Su Yi be a concubine?

She also wanted Su Yi's two children to be born out of wedlock.

As a family, don’t even think about stepping on her and Jingyou to get to the top!

Zisu took a deep breath...

The young lady is becoming more and more different from before! She has a kind of majesty that is intimidating without anger, and she is somewhat similar to General Song!

Xiao Taohong is very dedicated.

She took the silver note of one hundred taels and listened to Song Mingli's "play". She suddenly felt it was simple. It was even simpler than her usual rehearsal and performance on stage!

But she did not take it lightly and still rehearsed with her friends several times before going to this "stage".

Early that morning, Su Yi went out to buy rice.

I saw a woman in white walking towards me, looking dazed and with tears in her eyes.

The woman had a graceful figure and although she looked depressed, she was still beautiful enough to make people's heart flutter.

Su Yi couldn't help but look at her twice more.

The woman seemed not to see her and walked straight past her.
