The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

Yan Yi reported the latest intelligence he had just received to Chu Tiancheng:

“The informant at the Crown Prince’s Mansion found out that the Crown Prince’s personal guard Li Yong was the person responsible for contacting Gu Yidao.

But Li Yong did not contact Gu Yidao directly, but contacted Gu Yidao's concubine to pass the information.

The woman’s name and the meeting place have not yet been found.”

Chu Tiancheng hesitated for a moment, then told Yan Yi to pass on the order:

"You must hurry and find Gu Yidao's concubine. If you have any clues, notify me immediately."

"Yes."

Just as Yan Yi was about to leave, Chu Tiancheng added:

"You go to the General's Mansion in person tomorrow morning and inform the princess of the news just now."

"Yes." Yan Yi accepted the order.

At the hour of Hai, in a house in the eastern part of the northern region.

It was late at night and the moon was hanging high in the sky, casting a cool light.

In the quiet courtyard, Gu Yidao was concentrating on waving the long sword in his hand, and each move was filled with fierce momentum.

He had a slender figure and his movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water. Each of his swords contained endless power and murderous intent.

Yanhong sat quietly in front of the stone table, holding needle and thread in her hands, carefully embroidering an exquisite purse.

Her eyes were focused and gentle, as if she had poured all her thoughts into this small purse.

At this moment, the only sounds in the entire yard were the sound of Gu Yidao practicing martial arts and the faint sound of the bright red embroidery needle passing through the cloth.

The two of them were busy with their own things, but they created a wonderful harmonious atmosphere.

In the room behind them, Doudou had already fallen asleep.

He slept soundly with a smile on his face.

This night was so peaceful and beautiful for Gu Yidao, Yanhong and Doudou.

Gu Yidao finally completed his training and slowly put away the sharp knife.

The blade flashed with cold light, as if telling of the countless battles and glory it had experienced.

Yanhong immediately put down her needle and thread and purse and hurried forward with a dry and soft towel in her hand.

She carefully handed the towel to Gu Yidao, her eyes full of concern and tenderness.

Yanhong knew what this knife meant to Gu Yidao. She stood silently by the side without saying anything.

Gu Yida put the knife away, took the towel, wiped his sweat, and asked casually:

"Yanhong, where did you sing before?"

Yanhong didn't think much and replied:

"So many places, including the painted boat on East Lake, the Jixiang Restaurant, and the Yingbinlou Hotel. I've been to them all."

Gu Yidao walked into the room, took out a map of the imperial capital, looked at it carefully, pointed at the Yingbinlou Hotel and said:

"Tomorrow you will go to the Yingbin Building to apply for the position of a singing girl."

"what?!"

Yanhong was unhappy, "Why? Do you owe money outside?"

"No."

Gu Yidao hugged Yanhong and said, "Just go there and sing some songs for fun."

Yanhong pouted, "It's not fun."

Gu Yidao whispered, "Singing is a cover. I asked you to go there to meet the man."

"Contact?" Yanhong immediately became nervous, "What happened?"

"It's okay, just help me pass on a message."

Yanhong understood that Gu Yidao might have a mission to accomplish.

She stopped asking and said obediently, "I know. I'll listen to you and go to the reception building."

The tenth day of the fifth month, at the hour of Chen, in Taoran Garden.

After Qin Rubing got up and had breakfast, she sat under the grape trellis, drinking tea and studying the map of the imperial capital.

Now that Gu Yidao is back, will that concubine still go out to sing?

Logically, you don't have to work so hard to make money anymore, since Gu Yidao is rich.

But how can we find her if she doesn't come out of her house or show up in public?

Qin Rubing felt as if she had reached a dead end.

Just when I was feeling worried, Yan Yi came.

"Greetings, Princess." Yan Yi bowed respectfully.

Qin Rubing knew that Yan Yi must have something to say, so she asked Zhuxiang to take everyone out first.

Yan Yi reported the information that Li Yong and Gu Yidao were in contact through the concubine.

"now it's right!"

Qin Rubing immediately smiled.

The matter that she had been struggling with for a long time was now easily resolved! This made her feel extremely excited.

She had been worried that the woman would hide at home and refuse to go out. If that was true, there was nothing she could do.

Now, as long as she comes out to work, there will be traces of her. Then, by following the clues, Gu Yidao will not be able to hide or run away.

After Yan Yi left, Qin Rubing immediately called Bai Lu and Ye Si and made careful arrangements.

Noon, Yingbinlou Hotel.

The hall on the first floor was bustling with people, and every seat was packed.

In the private rooms on the second and third floors, the sound of piano and singing can be heard everywhere.

Cui'er was so busy that there were almost not enough singers and musicians.

Xiaoqin was arranged to sing a little song in a private room on the second floor.

Manager Zhou has already told Cui'er about Bai Lu's identity. Cui'er dare not ask her to sing songs anymore, so she has to keep her by her side to help her.

Ye Si disguised himself as a waiter and ran around the lobby on the first floor, serving tea and water to the guests while observing the people around him.

Just then, a woman with a graceful figure and pretty face walked in.

She was wearing a red cheongsam, with a graceful figure and exquisite curves, as beautiful as a blooming flower.

She walked in lightly, each step exuding a unique charm.

Her every smile, every gesture seemed to carry a kind of magic that could quickly catch the attention of everyone present.

Her smile is like a spring breeze, warm and charming; her eyes are like autumn water, affectionate, deep and smart.

Every subtle movement reveals an indescribable charm that makes people fall for it.

After all, Yanhong used to be the top girl on the Donghu pleasure boat and had seen many big scenes.

She looked around and whispered to a stunned waiter:

"Tell your manager to come here. I want to apply for a singing girl."

Cui'er got the news and hurried down from the second floor with Bai Lu.

"Oh, what a charming girl."

Cui'er exclaimed, walked slowly to Yanhong, and circled around her three times.

"Not bad, not bad." Cui'er laughed so hard that her body shook.

Bai Lu looked at the woman in front of him. Apart from the fact that she looked a little dusty, he didn't see anything unusual.

"Please follow me, young lady." Cui'er led Yanhong to the second floor.

Yanhong looked around and followed Cui'er up the stairs in a high-profile manner.

"Has the contact person arrived? If so, he should have seen me, right?"

Yanhong was muttering to herself.

Bai Lu also went up to the second floor after them.

"What do you know? Where did you learn it from?"

After they walked into an office, Cui'er looked at the woman in front of her and asked.

"I am from the Imperial City and can sing some popular songs."

Cui'er and Bailu looked at each other: They are not from Luocheng.
