I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Another song started.

Ji Xiaobei's eyes lit up; she was familiar with this word.

She has memorized this ancient poem. Who wrote it? Who wrote it?

It doesn’t matter who wrote it, what matters is that you can understand it.

“If you don’t see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return.

See you, Gaotangmingjing has white hair in sorrow, and the morning is like blue silk and snow in the evening.

……

Ji Xiaobei unconsciously hummed along:

A horse with a fine luster, a fur coat worth thousands of gold, I will call my son to go out and exchange them for good wine, so that we can share the eternal sorrow together!

The music on the stage stopped, but Ji Xiaobei had not finished singing the word "sorrow".

The actor on the stage: ...

Fu Jichang: ...

Mr. Li: “Okay!”

They shouted "good" and applauded.

After the actor finished singing, he walked off the stage gracefully and, according to custom, toasted the guests and asked for their reward.

When walking past Ji Xiaobei, the woman in front glanced at Ji Xiaobei.

Ji Xiaobei's pupils suddenly contracted. There was something wrong with this look!

There was a mixture of viciousness and a hint of fear in the vigilance...

At that moment, Fu Jichang took a step forward and blocked the woman's way.

“No need to toast…”

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and placed it on the tray in her hand.

The woman smiled slightly, and said softly, "Thank you, sir!"

Ji Xiaobei only felt a gust of cold wind blowing on her back. She jumped up with a start and caught the hidden weapon flying in the air.

All that was heard was a thud and the three actors fell down.

Mr. Li was startled for a moment, then regained his composure.

Then I saw three women lying on the ground with stab wounds in their chests, lying in a pool of blood.

"Sir, are you okay?"

Fu Jichang asked hurriedly.

"It's okay..." The emperor touched his neck, the fear in his eyes had disappeared, and his stern expression returned to his original state.

The palace guards outside had heard the noise and surrounded the private room.

The entire theater building was surrounded outside.

Ji Xiaobei exhaled and placed the silver needle in his hand on the table.

"Emperor... No, Master Li... You are frightened!"

Ji Xiaobei said.

The emperor's face turned pale as he gently pinched the silver needle with two fingers and sneered: "Assassin, I almost lost my life!"

As he said this, he looked at Ji Xiaobei with gratitude.

Then he smiled and said, "Miss Ji sang well, could you sing another song for Master Li?"

Ji Xiaobei: …

She couldn't sing now. She didn't feel scared when she jumped up just now, but now her legs were weak.

She felt her voice tremble.

Several people came over and dragged the dead body away, and Fu Jichang followed them out to check the situation.

"Mr. Li, I almost ended up lying on the ground. You are so elegant. My legs are still shaking!"

Ji Xiaobei said with a trembling voice.

"Hahaha, if I were not easy to die, I would always be able to turn danger into safety. Just now when you jumped up, I saw that you were not afraid at all!"

The emperor laughed out loud.

"There are imperial guards outside now, you don't have to be afraid! Tell me, if you have any good ideas, you must come to me in person to tell me."

The emperor grabbed a handful of peanuts and placed them on the table in front of Ji Xiaobei, motioning for her to sit down.

Ji Xiaobei didn't hesitate and sat down on the chair.

She met Mr. Li for the first time on the West Hill and didn't know he was the emperor.

Although I knew he was the emperor this time, I had just saved him.

He wouldn't blame himself for being impolite.

So Ji Xiaobei relaxed again, took a peanut, peeled it apart, tilted his head back and put it into his mouth.

This scene stunned the emperor.

Women can do this!

He wiped the sweat from his forehead silently.

"Mr. Li, my wife Huang Po once developed a poison that can kill pests in the fields. We used it in Jijia Bay before, and it worked well!"

Ji Xiaobei said this and threw another peanut into his mouth.

"Well, go on!"

Ji Xiaobei: “That’s it!”

Mr. Li: "Tell me, what are the conditions?"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "I heard that the emperor wants to grant Master Fu a marriage, he already has someone he likes!"

Mr. Li: "Hmm?"

Ji Xiaobei: Yes!

Mr. Li was not too surprised at Ji Xiaobei's boldness.

When she took him all the way to the potato planting site on the West Mountain, he knew that this woman was different.

"You want to persuade me not to grant Master Fu a marriage. He already has someone he loves, and that person is you!"

Ji Xiaobei: "To be honest, Master Li, you are right. There is one more thing I would like to ask you to grant us a marriage."

The emperor looked at the clear eyes in front of him with great interest and asked, "You are so brave!"

Ji Xiaobei puffed out his chest and said, "If I wasn't brave enough, the assassin would have succeeded. I wouldn't have been able to protect the emperor well, and I might have been exiled!"

The emperor was stunned: Are you looking for me to settle the score?

It seems that he is still resentful about me exiling Fu Jichang because he failed to protect you.

The emperor put away his smile and said, "Miss Ji, are you forcing me to agree to grant you a marriage? Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken out the prescription?"

Ji Xiaobei said seriously: "No, I watched the farmers' hard work for half a year go to waste. My family is also farmers, so I naturally understand the hard work of farming... If you don't agree, I will still take out the prescription."

Emperor: You are putting me in an unjust position!

Ji Xiaobei shook his head: It’s up to you!

"Your Majesty, everything has been handled outside. We have caught two more assassins and sent them to the Dali Temple... The rest are dead... Your Majesty, you should return to the palace!"

Fu Jichang came in and reported.

"Are they those two women?"

Ji Xiaobei asked.

Fu Jichang nodded slightly.

The emperor looked at Ji Xiaobei in surprise, then at Fu Jichang.

Fu Jichang quickly explained: "Your Majesty, when she first came in, Miss Ji met two women. She thought they were very strange and reminded me to be careful!"

The emperor looked at Ji Xiaobei deeply again.

"Go back to the palace!"

Fu Jichang and a group of people escorted the emperor away.

Ji Xiaobei randomly found an inn nearby, stayed there for one night, and rode back early the next morning on his little white horse.

When I passed the theater, the servants were cleaning the yard.

Everything was as before, perhaps no one in the theater knew what happened last night.

Maybe they are already used to it.

Ji Xiaobei stayed at the door for a while, and the waiter looked up at her and said, "Sir, the door is not open yet. Please come back in an hour!"

Somehow, Ji Xiaobei had an inexplicable bad feeling in his heart.

"What happened in the theater last night?"

Ji Xiaobei asked.

"It's okay, I'm fine!"

The young man looked calm and continued sweeping the floor with his head down.

Ji Xiaobei looked up at the pavilion on the second floor of the theater. There was no one there. The two women who walked strangely seemed to appear in front of her again.

She closed her eyes, pulled the reins, got on the official road, and headed towards Anzhou.
