"Boss, please give us a private room!"

"Okay, please go upstairs, turn left and go to the second room, the Osmanthus Hall!"

The boss had some sense. Even though the room was in short supply and usually reserved for regular customers, he immediately spoke when he saw Diancui and Rong Mama.

The boss saw that these two people came from the palace, so he couldn't make friends with them deliberately, nor could he offend them easily.

As soon as they sat down, a maid came forward and handed them a menu.

"No need, bring us a table of 18 cents! Let's try some of the special dishes here."

Shi Yu waved his hand and directly ordered the signature dish of Zhenxiuju.

Madam Rong and Diancui consciously stood guard at the door, not too far away or too close so as not to disturb the two people, and they could hear any instructions in time.

After the dishes were served, Shi Yu and Ling Yun ate and chatted at the same time. He didn't care about the rule of "don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping".

"Brother, don't be nervous. I tell you, after you become the class leader, you should leave the capital first! Come back in two or three years."

After saying that, Shi Yu handed over a treasure bag.

There were a few hundred-liang silver notes in it, and the rest were some gold beans and small pieces of silver.

"No, I can't take it! It's too much."

Ling Yun pushed the brocade bag back and refused to take it.

"Brother, please accept it. It's nothing to me, but if you leave the capital, you will definitely not get any benefits in a short period of time. Besides, there are a large group of people waiting for you to support. Without money, you can't move forward!"

Shi Yu explained to him that everyone knew that he came from this opera troupe, and Jiang Shichen would definitely not let go of this handle.

Instead of waiting for him to take action, it is better to eliminate the hidden danger directly and send the troupe away.

Finally, Ling Yun accepted the brocade bag under Shi Yu's insistence, but he secretly vowed in his heart that he would repay Shi Yu in the future.

But he definitely doesn't have the chance, Shi Yu won't ask him to repay him, and the best way for them to repay him is to be well.

Jiang Shichen also didn't have the energy to look for a troupe whose whereabouts were unknown. It would be a waste of manpower and resources and not worth it.

"Why do you have to leave the capital? Is someone trying to deal with you?"

Although Ling Yun is a little silly sometimes, his brain is actually quite fast and he figures things out quickly.

"Not really, it's just a precaution. I'm always worried that someone will attack you because of me."

"What about you? If it's dangerous here, you should leave as well. Just don't block other people's way and you'll be fine."

Ling Yun hopes that he can protect himself and not get involved in this muddy water easily.

"Don't worry, I have the Empress and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion behind me, so nothing will happen."

Shi Yu patted his shoulder and signaled him not to be sad.

"You always tell me not to worry, but how can I not worry? When you enter the palace, everyone says that the palace is great, but I don't think so. You are so cautious now, it's better for you to be free and easy when we are singing."

Ling Yun wanted to say something, but suddenly his shoulders slumped. He suddenly felt that he was powerless to change anything.

"I understand, I will leave, and you should be careful too!" His voice became sad, and he felt powerless and helpless.

"I understand. I'll be fine. Don't worry. Don't think about it. Be happy. I brought you to a fine dining restaurant today. We're eating 'Eighteen Immortals'."

Shi Yu smiled and said that he didn't want to make the other person so sad, but some things could not be explained.

"By the way, did you know about this when you asked me to redeem Chuntao?"

Ling Yun was a little confused. After all, the reason why Shi Yu lent him money to redeem Chun Tao that day was too unreliable. And when he learned about this matter, he couldn't help but associate it all together.

"No, it's just a coincidence!"

Shi Yu didn't want to admit it. After all, he shouldn't have known about it at the time. In order to avoid trouble, he directly denied it.

Ling Yun did not continue to ask, as he knew he would not get the answer.

The two chatted about some interesting things about the troupe and soon finished their meal.

"Dian Cui, ask someone to pack five more servings of Eighteen Immortals for our junior brothers to try!"

Shi Yu looked at Ling Yun staring at the few dishes left, and knew that he was thinking of his fellow apprentices.

Diancui went out quickly and gave the instructions.

"Then thank you, Your Highness Shi Yu!"

Ling Yun wanted to salute again, but Shi Yu stopped him again.

"Don't be so polite. This is a little gift from me to my fellow apprentices. You can't stop me from showing my love to my fellow apprentices."

"Let's go, let's go back early, we still have to meet the old boss!"

As soon as it got dark, I returned to the theater.

"Brother Shi Yu, the old boss is waiting for you!"

A child spoke in a soft voice. He was also a female role singer. He was very thin due to hunger, which made Shi Yu feel distressed, but he also knew that this was the path he had to take.

"Okay, I get it. Go find Brother Lingyun and get something to eat. I'll make an exception today and let you eat more!"

Watching the fellow student running away quickly, Shi Yu also moved to find the old boss.

The old boss did not stay in the room calmly as he usually did, but stood outside the door to greet them.

He nodded and bowed, with a fawning look on his face.

"Your Highness, thank you for visiting my humble abode. It really brings honor to my humble home..."

He praised Shi Yu to the best of his ability, but Shi Yu was impatient and interrupted him directly.

"Why, you are going to welcome me in the inner courtyard. I am not worthy of you going out to greet me?"

Shi Yu gave him a warning as soon as he arrived, but Shi Yu was not wrong. Most people would greet the prince respectfully at the gate. However, Shi Yu did not inform him in advance and deliberately caught him off guard.

However, this also shows that the old boss was not careful and easily gave Shi Yu an excuse.

"Grass people don't dare!"

As he said this, the old squad leader was about to kneel down, but Shi Yu still stopped him. After all, according to the etiquette here, the old squad leader had the grace of raising him, even if he had bad intentions.

Shi Yu also thought of this, but after all, his original body had someone he cared about, so it was not easy for him to openly break the rules.

"No need. What is the old class leader doing? At your age, you should enjoy your retirement and stop worrying about it. Just pass the position of class leader to Brother Lingyun."

Shi Yu directly stated his purpose. Even though the old boss was unwilling, he did not dare to speak out against me. No wonder everyone pursues power.

"Okay, I obey your command!"

The old boss was reluctant, but had no choice.

"Then, old boss, enjoy your retirement. I believe that Brother Lingyun will respect you well! Then, Your Highness will not disturb your rest."

Shi Yu waved his hand and left. He didn't want to talk to this person any more, and he couldn't do anything about him. But he still remembered the look of someone waiting for a price at that time, and it disgusted him for a long time.

It was getting late, and he had to find an inn to stay in.

If he were alone, it wouldn't matter if he lived here, but since he already had Diancui and Rong Mama by his side, he shouldn't send anyone else, as there are no extra houses here for them to stay.

They soon found an inn, sent Diancui and Rong Mama to rest, and asked the guards to keep watch outside.

Shi Yu sneaked away to find Jiang Shichen, but he did not forget his main purpose.
