After Liu Rumei was taken away, Su Qingcang sighed as if he had aged by more than ten years, and turned to Liu Ruoxi.

"Before you get married, go to the ancestral hall to reflect. You cannot come out without my permission."

The play ends.

At night, Su Qingcheng stood in front of the window and looked at the full moon above her head, filled with emotions.

In the previous life, the dowry left by her mother had been secretly hidden by Liu Rumei and her daughter.

She didn't even react when Ye Tantai appeared next to her.

"What is the princess thinking so lost in thought?"

Su Qingcheng was frightened by the sudden voice, "It's nothing, I have to go back to Yunan Palace tomorrow, I'm just a little reluctant to leave."

Ye Tantai did not continue to ask questions and turned to go to bed. He was increasingly confused about Su Qingcheng.

Every moment was pinched just right, the fire burned inexplicably, and although the smoke was huge, Fu Yi said that the fire did not even burn the latrine.

So she had arranged the servants in advance.

In today's play, Su Qingcheng sang extremely well.

These days, Su Qingcheng has been sleeping in the side room of the house, which is only separated from Ye Tantai by a wall.

After Su Qingcheng lay down, she thought she would not be able to sleep for a long time because she had been suffering from headaches a few days ago and had trouble sleeping.

The strange thing is that in the past few days after returning to the Su Mansion, her headaches became less and less frequent, and she slept more and more soundly.

She just thought it was because she went home.

After a while she fell asleep and had a dreamless night.

Early the next morning, Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai set off back to Yunan Palace.

As soon as Su Qingcheng returned to Yunan Palace, she went to find Wu Ya.

Ye Tantai went to the study. In the past few days since he was away, a mountain of secret messages from the shadow guard had been piled up waiting for him to deal with.

Fu Yi took a letter to Ye Tantai, "We have an idea about the mysterious person next to Su Qingcheng."

Ye Tantai did not open it in a hurry. He first picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After opening it, he almost sprayed a sip of tea on Fu Yi's face.

Five big words on the letter: Suspected to be a woman.

Fuyi looked at His Highness who was choked, and patted his back thoughtfully, "Your Highness, be careful."

"Is this the latest detection ability of the Shadow Guard? It seems that I have been too neglectful. I should go to the Fire Prison to take the blame myself."

Fuyi had to accept his fate and receive his punishment. You really can’t blame him. That mysterious man is too difficult to track down...

At this time, Wu Ya, who was "suspected to be a woman," was already in full swing. Seeing Su Qingcheng come back, she couldn't help complaining, "You are finally back. I was so bored that I thought of a way to break the formation at the mine. You have a look."

Su Qingcheng was overjoyed and frowned after hearing what Wu Ya said, "This is indeed a good method, but I can't do it alone."

Wu Ya thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, this cannot be accomplished by just one or two people. How about you use your gold mine to raise an army? Maybe we can fight against it."

Su Qingcheng gave Wu Ya a gesture and said, "What are you thinking about?"

"Just kidding, you look so serious." Wu Ya smiled playfully, "You might actually consider asking Ye Tantai for help. His strength is unfathomable, and he might be able to help you."

Ye Tantai suffered from a leg problem and was injured by a poisonous arrow designed by the Qiang army two years ago. He searched all over Nanye's famous doctors to no avail.

As soon as Su Qingcheng said these words, Ye Tantai's suspicion reached its peak. He took a step forward and forced Su Qingcheng into the corner, reaching out to pinch her chin.

Ye Tantai's pair of narrow eyes were slightly raised, and the sharp curved outline was tinged with a touch of alienation and indifference.

"I advise you not to test me on this matter."

Su Qingcheng slapped Ye Tantai's hand away and ducked sideways to keep a safe distance from him.

"I'm not lying to you. If I want to cooperate with the prince, I will show my sincerity. I just hope that the prince will give me a chance."

Ye Tantai looked at Su Qingcheng. Her eyes were firm and unpredictable.

Ye Tantai composed himself, "What do you want?"

Su Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that when Ye Tantai asked this question, it meant that there was hope that she could negotiate terms with him.

"I thought you already knew it well when I gave you the sheepskin map last time."

Ye Tantai pretended to be dumbfounded and said, "I'm not sure. Princess, you might as well elaborate."

Su Qingcheng looked at the courtyard. There was no one around, only the light of flowers and the shadows of birds. The east wind gently blew away a few peach blossoms, and the last beautiful memories of Fu Xingzhou in her heart were also blown away.

"I want the prince to help me. It's not yet time to specify what I want to help. As a condition of cooperation, I will help the prince treat his leg disease."

Ye Tantai didn't answer, as if he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, you can think slowly. I will take my leave now." Su Qingcheng bowed and left.

A light rain came suddenly, falling on the eaves.

"Go get me two night clothes." Su Qingcheng ordered Wu Ya while looking at the darkening sky.

When night fell, Su Qingcheng and Wu Ya put on their night clothes and slipped out quietly from the back door of Yunan Palace.

They walked through half the streets of the capital, and finally stopped in front of a dry well behind a stick of incense.

"This is this?" Wu Ya asked Su Qingcheng, who had brought her here, looking at the well, which was much larger than an ordinary dry well.

"You'll know when you go in. Put on your mask."

With that said, Su Qingcheng rolled over and went into the well. The seemingly bottomless black well actually had a climbing ladder, and the wooden stairs creaked with the footsteps of the two.

After reaching the bottom of the well, there is a wooden door with the words "Well Bottom Gambling House" written on it.

Wu Ya was very shocked, "This is actually a gambling house!"

"It belongs to Fu Xingzhou. After the gold mine is dug out, very few can be directly converted into currency for circulation, because if the quantity is large, people will be suspicious."

Wu Ya reacted, "So this gambling house is..."

Su Qingcheng opened the door and continued what Wu Ya said, "Yes, it will be used to exchange gold for him into circulating currency."

Inside the door, candles are brightly lit. This is not a gambling house, it is clearly an underground gambling city.

Noticing the arrival of the two men, a young man wearing a white mask came to greet them immediately.

"Are these two distinguished guests 'betters' or 'watchers'? The younger one will show you the way."

Wu Ya, who didn't understand anything, pretended to be profound and waited for Su Qingcheng to speak.

"'Visitors' come here to see the true appearance of the Jingxia Immortal."

After that, Su Qingcheng generously handed a bag of silver to the boy. The boy was obviously someone who had seen big events. An ordinary boy would have beamed when he saw so much money.

The boy in front of him did not reach out to pick it up. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the two of them. "You two are strangers and can only go to the lobby. Is it acceptable?"

After Su Qingcheng nodded, the boy took away the silver and led them deeper.

After the servant arranged their positions, they left.

"Fu Xingzhou is fine, this place looks similar to the teahouse on the ground." Wu Ya said after looking around.

"More than that, there are things here that are not found in teahouses on the ground." As soon as Su Qingcheng finished speaking, all the candles were extinguished.
