The streets are still as bustling as ever, with people coming and going in an endless stream.

Song Zhi strolled along the street while looking for shops that had not been rented out, but he still couldn't find a suitable one.

Either the place is too small or the price is too high.

Some are even more outrageous, with the price usually being incredibly high even though the place is not very big.

Finally, I was tired from walking, so I went into a teahouse to rest. As soon as I walked in, I suddenly saw a familiar figure coming up to the second floor.

She followed him on a whim, but was stopped by a group of solemn and dignified guards with swords at the second-floor stairs.

"The second floor has been reserved by my master. No outsiders are allowed to enter."

Song Zhi had no choice but to retreat in disappointment, but she did not leave. Instead, she found a seat with her back to the stairs where she could observe the door.

Other guests were heard whispering, "What a grand ceremony! Who was that person who just went up?"

"No way, brother, you don't even know the virtuous king. His fiefdom is not far away, and he is summoned to the palace every month to play chess with the emperor."

The back figure that Song Zhi just saw was the wise king.

"Really? Then the Emperor and the Wise Prince have a pretty good relationship."

"What's good about it? You don't know that."

The man who answered cleared his throat and said, "Actually, this isn't a secret. Many people know that this virtuous prince is actually the emperor's younger brother. The reason he was given such a close fiefdom and summoned to the palace every month is because the emperor wanted his younger brother to always remember the difference between the monarch and his subjects."

Those who didn't know about this became curious and asked, "Why is this happening?"

"It seems that it is because the Queen Mother disliked the Emperor when she was young, and she placed even higher hopes on this youngest son."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but they didn't dare to say much since it involved the royal secret, so they changed the subject after a few words.

Song Zhi was the only one in the audience who was still immersed in the topic of the royal family. She couldn't help but frown and think, the relationship between the emperor and the virtuous king was so bad, no wonder he had to pretend to be at peace with the world and cheat on him.

As expected, everyone dislikes the dog emperor, although this wise king is not a good person either.

As he was thinking, a flash of light suddenly flashed through Song Zhi's mind. Since the virtuous king could hook up with the queen, did he also know Mu Qinghan's life experience!

They have always been thinking about finding people from the late queen's mother's family, investigating the queen, and investigating the palace maids who served her, but they forgot about the person who secretly did the most intimate things between husband and wife with the queen.

Song Zhi felt his heart pounding, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

She resisted the urge to immediately ask the secret guards to investigate the background of this wise king, and instead controlled her temper and waited here.

It was not until half an hour later that the people upstairs came down slowly.

The leader is still the virtuous king walking with his hands behind his back, and following closely behind the virtuous king, oh, it’s another old acquaintance.

Wang Lanzhi.

It seems that after being rejected by the Second Prince Mu Yunhe, he turned to the Wise King.

Song Zhi suddenly began to admire someone. He was like the stubborn cockroach Xiaoqiang, and he could be seen everywhere. He could find anyone to cooperate with. He was truly an inspirational role model.

If you think about it from another perspective, isn’t this also a form of hard work and progress?

Song Zhi secretly encouraged Prime Minister Wang to grow bigger and stronger quickly, and to embezzle more money from the old emperor to redeem the Prime Minister's Mansion, so that she could then ask for her own price.

As long as he doesn't embezzle the money given to the common people, she will never make it public. Not only will she not make it public, she can even help him clean up the places that have not been covered up.

After watching the two of them leave, Song Zhi also paid the bill and walked out.

When she arrived at a deserted place, she called out to the secret guards to investigate every detail of the information about the virtuous king.

After giving the order, she finally felt relieved.

However, she also prepared herself mentally. If she could find out something, that would be great. But if she couldn't find anything, she shouldn't be discouraged. After all, Mu Nanqi had been searching for so many years without any results.

As for the cooperation between Wang Lanzhi and the Xian King, she planned to ask Song Yang to pay more attention to it, so that the old man would not have only love in his mind.

After walking around the street again, she finally saw a spacious and bright courtyard at the end of the main street.

The courtyard is of moderate size and has many rooms, which can accommodate students of all ages with a little modification.

The most important thing is that the location is not too far away and the price is very reasonable.

Song Zhi asked around, and the neighbors all said that there had never been any problems here. It was just that the owner's business in the capital went bankrupt, so he wanted to sell the yard and return to his hometown to make a living.

Song Zhi was very satisfied and immediately bought the place with a wave of his hand.

After buying it, she did not delay and went straight home to draw a sketch of the school and hired someone to start the renovation.

Standing in front of the courtyard gate and watching the people busy working, Song Zhi felt that a big thing was relieved from his mind.

The fulfilling day passed quickly, and at night, Song Zhi was still leaning on the bed reading.

Just as I was about to feel sleepy, the oil lamp suddenly flickered a few times in the wind.

She raised her head and saw a black figure sitting steadily in front of her.

She put the book down and said with a smile, "Are you willing to show up when I'm awake today?"

Mu Nanqi's eyes softened, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Good, very good."

He glanced at the book she was reading and said with a hint of laughter, "Why, do you want to be a teacher yourself in the future?"

Song Zhi shook his head. "That's not the case. Reading is wise. There's no harm in reading more. What brought you here these past two days?"

Mu Nanqi looked at Song Zhi steadily. The coldness in his body cracked layer by layer when he faced her. Finally, he pursed his lips and said, "See if you feel at ease."

Song Zhi burst out laughing, "You are so childish."

Mu Nanqi didn't say anything, but the smile in his eyes widened as she smiled.

Song Zhi moved inward and pulled him to sit next to him.

"You're so familiar with breaking into girls' rooms. Have you done this kind of thing many times before?"

Mu Nanqi touched her head and said, "I have never been to other women's boudoirs."

"You haven't been to Princess Tuoba's either?"

"Ah."

"What a pity! Princess Tuoba must really want you to go."

Mu Nanqi said: "The emperor is preparing to grant her a marriage with my sixth brother."

"Sigh~"

Song Zhi touched his chin speechlessly, "Why does the damn emperor like to grant marriages so much? It seems that he has no confidence in Mu Yuanzhi. He may not need a marriage to maintain his imperial power."

"You know Sixth Brother well?"

"Of course I don't understand. I just hate the dog emperor's way of randomly matching couples and forcing other people's marriages."

Mu Nanqi said: "I hate it too. It's getting late. Let's get some rest."

Song Zhi blushed, and she slid her hand towards his belt expectantly and nervously, "Shall we rest together?"

Mu Nanqi's face flushed slightly, and he coughed lightly, "You rest, I'll watch you sleep."

"Ah~"

Song Zhi's face was filled with disappointment. "Since we're here, it's not good to just sit there and do nothing."
