Su Zhengyang and Shen Yingshi found a private room in the teahouse and ordered a pot of tea.

The two sat in the private room, whispering.

"You mean, the Song Mingli you heard about is evil and vicious, and he deliberately harmed and plotted against our sister."

"But the Song Mingli described by the people of Kyoto is kind and tough. Was he completely harmed by the Gu family?"

Before Shen Yingshi finished his summary, Su Zhengyang frowned and glared at him.

"She is not innocent. She must be doing good deeds to make up for her guilty conscience! She has done many evil things and her conscience is uneasy. She can't sleep at night, so she does good deeds!"

"It was deliberate, to atone for my sins!"

Su Zhengyang lowered his voice, but gritted his teeth and his chest heaved.

Shen Yingshi quickly poured him a cup of tea and said, "Calm down, I didn't say it was not true."

"But Brother Su, listen to my analysis. Is it possible that what you heard was deliberately told to you by someone?"

Su Zhengyang suddenly raised his head and stared at Shen Yingshi.

"What do you mean?"

"Brother Su was awarded for his meritorious service a while ago, but it has been so long since he was awarded for his meritorious service, and there has been no mention of promotion... How come he was suddenly awarded for his meritorious service and promoted to the capital?"

Su Zhengyang's eyes suddenly focused.

"Brother Su, please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that your contribution is undeserved..."

Su Zhengyang waved his hand and said, he is my brother, no need to explain so much.

He was just blinded by one thing and was stuck in the horn of hatred.

He was able to climb up the military ladder step by step with his own abilities; he is by no means a stupid man.

After Shen Yingshi's advice, he gradually came to his senses.

"You have a wide network of contacts. Please help me find out who helped me get transferred to Kyoto."

"Also, can you help me find out...besides the Gu family, is there anyone else who has a grudge against Song Mingli?"

Shen Yingshi nodded, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it. If you go and find out by yourself, you'll probably only find out what others want you to hear."

Shen Yingshi left the teahouse first.

Su Zhengyang was in the teahouse again, sitting alone for a long time before leaving.

……

After Song Mingli came back from playing polo, he felt that all the muscles and bones in his body had been relaxed.

Riding a horse again, swinging the club again, returning to the competition field...she suddenly realized that she had made the wrong choice all these years.

She missed the privileges bestowed upon noble ladies of this era, and missed the opportunity to live freely and wantonly.

She was the one who confined herself to a small circle, believing in bullshit like "the husband is the head of the wife, and if the husband and the mother-in-law are unhappy, it's the woman's dereliction of duty" and so on.

She could have lived a wonderful life.

Song Mingli wiped the sweat off his face while changing into his clothes.

In the dressing tent next door, a conversation between several women was heard.

"Princess Jing is different from what I imagined!"

"I thought she would be so nervous and afraid of not being able to catch the ball, and she wouldn't be able to let go. I didn't expect she was so brave!"

"Yes, as long as the ball is within her range, she will try her best to catch it. Although she can't catch many of them, she doesn't care. She just smiles at us apologetically and tries hard to catch it next time!"

"She's not arrogant at all, she's very open-minded. Playing with Princess Jing like this, I don't feel any pressure at all, it's quite fun."

"Although I lost the game today, I really had a lot of fun!"

Song Mingli couldn't help but curl his lips.

Yes, enjoy life to the fullest when you are happy.

She had a really great time today!

As for winning or losing the game, it was insignificant compared to her new and enjoyable experience today.

Song Mingli changed his clothes and returned to the tent where Prince Jing was.

"You fought really well. I didn't expect that my princess had another trick up her sleeve." Chu Yanchen took out a beautiful jade bracelet from behind him, which was completely transparent and full of water.

"A prize for my princess."

Chu Yanchen took her hand and put the jade bracelet on her wrist.

"Is there a prize if I lose?" Song Mingli said with a smile.

"Where did I lose?" Chu Yanchen shook his head. "I only lost this game. What I won was the victory over my own life."

He looked at her, his eyes focused and intense.

At that moment, Song Mingli felt warm in his heart...he understood her.

He understood how she had confined herself to a certain area in the past and how she had set limits for herself.

I also understand her current desire to break out of the cage and break through herself.

Having a husband like this is truly a blessing in life.

"I like it very much. Thank you, Your Highness." Song Mingli raised his wrist. The transparent jade bracelet looked even more noble and gorgeous on his fair and slender wrist.

……

Money makes things easier. Two days later, Shen Yingshi helped Su Zhengyang find out the news.

The two came to talk under the big willow tree outside the Shenji Camp.

"The ones who have a feud with Princess Jing and whose status is comparable to hers are the Third Prince's Mansion and Princess Cheng."

"There was a Princess Xili in the past who was also very active, but she ended up working herself to death."

"The Third Prince was reprimanded by His Majesty and is now keeping a low profile. He basically stays at home, planting flowers and raising birds, and rarely leaves the house."

"His father-in-law, the Zhou family, suffered a few losses, but now they are at peace."

Su Zhengyang couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Song Mingli was quite difficult to deal with?

The Third Prince, the Zhou family, and Princess Xili are no match for her?

Then can I still avenge my sister?

"The one who is most at odds with her right now is Princess Cheng. The grudge between the two is quite deep..."

Shen Yingshi told Su Zhengyang all the information he had found out.

"The most important thing is that in two days, Princess Cheng will go to the temple to worship. When she goes to the temple to worship, she always goes in a low-key manner and does not bring many people with her."

"It may be difficult for Brother Su to deal with Princess Jing alone, but if he can form an alliance with Princess Cheng, it may be easier."

Su Zhengyang nodded deeply.

He thought of something and reached out to pat Shen Yingshi on the shoulder.

"To get so much information, you must have spent a lot of energy and money, right?"

"Well, you saved my life. We are family, so don't be polite to me! Your business is my business!" Shen Yingshi grinned at him.

According to the information Shen Yingshi found out.

Su Zhengyang decided to meet with Princess Cheng.

It is said that the fights between these women in the inner palaces are no less intense than on a battlefield, with swords flashing, blood and flesh being seen.

Even if Princess Cheng is unwilling to cooperate with him, at least she will not betray him to Song Mingli.

Su Zhengyang is an excellent martial artist, so it is not difficult for him to sneak into the temple that Princess Cheng is going to in advance.

He just needed to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity where there were not many people around Princess Cheng and it would be convenient for him to speak.

Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.

After Princess Cheng finished worshipping in the Main Hall, she walked around the temple for a while and then went to the side room to rest.

There were two maids guarding her.

Su Zhengyang didn't know how long she would stay in the room, and he couldn't wait any longer.

If you miss this opportunity, you don’t know when the next one will be.

Su Zhengyang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew and blew the door of the wing room open.

When the two maids went forward to close the door, they heard two "bang bang" sounds.

Before the two maids could even say a word, they were knocked unconscious by the blow.

"Squeak--" Su Zhengyang closed the door.

"What's wrong? What's that sound?" Princess Cheng asked in the inner room.

No one outside responded.

Princess Cheng stood up uneasily. Just as she was about to go out, she saw a tall man with his face covered with cloth walking in from outside.
