The actors on the stage took the letter and tore it up on the spot after reading it. They all looked disdainful and treated it as a joke. They didn't believe that King Zhao would abandon the donkey after it had served its purpose.

"Thump, thump, thump! Thump! thump!" The drum is played with a single-skin drum, and a small gong is used as an embellishment on the side. Sometimes it is fast and sometimes it is slow, and the story comes to an end.

All those former subordinates, now high-ranking officials, died in accidents. Some were killed by bandits while out, and some accidentally fell off a cliff and were never found alive.

The ones who suffered the most were the counselors. Some of them recalled the previous letter and now regretted it, but it was too late.

The King of Zhao sent a sword, and someone recognized it as the sword that the King of Zhao had used to kill the King of Li.

Another eunuch brought a message: "You taught me seven tactics to conquer the Li people. I used three of them and defeated them. The fourth is in your hands. Please test it for me according to the previous king's instructions."

After hearing this, the counselors all knelt on the ground. If they did not obey, they would not only die.

In the end, only the reclusive strategist survived among the former Zhao army.

In the last scene, the curtain opens, everyone is gone, and the background changes to a paradise. The beauty who once bewitched the King of Li slowly walks onto the stage, followed by the strategist who escaped the disaster. In the end, the two of them live happily in the paradise.

The curtain fell and the play ended. All the actors came on stage and bowed, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.

“What a show!”

Someone shouted from a private room on the second floor.

The people in the lobby on the first floor also cheered.

Xu Zhao also clapped his hands, "This play is quite unusual. The counselor has the ability to come up with plans and the foresight to retreat at the right moment. He is truly extraordinary."

The people in the hall dispersed one after another.

After listening to the play, it was getting late and Xu Zhao was ready to get up and leave.

"Chaoxi, if that day really comes, I will probably be like most counselors." Shen Yu suddenly spoke up. He was deeply moved after watching this play.

It was the first time Xu Zhao was called Zhaoxi, and he was not used to it. He was stunned at first, and then sat back in his chair.

The waiter outside the door saw that the guests in the private room had not come out yet, and heard the sound of conversation inside. He did not dare to go in and disturb them, so he had to go and clean up other private rooms first.

Most of the people who come to the second floor of Yuhe Building to listen to opera are well-known figures, so they will not refuse to pay.

These nobles often put money for tea and snacks on the table, and the waiters can collect it themselves.

Today's show was novel. Many guests in the private rooms on the second floor put in a lot of silver and money. The waiter grinned happily and secretly stuffed some copper coins on his body. He collected the remaining silver and gave it to the shopkeeper.

"Why, you obviously have the ability to do it..." Xu Zhao was a little restless and almost jumped up from his chair.

Before he could even utter the word "rebellion", Shen Yu interrupted him, "Chao Xi, don't talk nonsense!"

"Now that the government is in good order and the people are united, I can't do it, and I don't like that position either."

"But what if one day, he forces you to rebel?" Xu Zhao began to choke up as he spoke. History records that Shen Yu was killed for rebellion, which means that there must have been something that prompted all this.

"Zhao Zhao!" Shen Yu called out Xu Zhao's name again. "I won't rebel. If he insists on killing me, then I will give him my life, no matter what method he uses to kill me. Because I owe him this!"

If it weren't for him, the emperor wouldn't have lived a life of fear. He would be the only child of his father, the emperor, and his mother, the queen, and the rightful heir to the Moon Kingdom.

"Don't be sad for me." Before the tears in Xu Zhao's eyes fell, he gently wiped her tears with his fingertips, "You don't belong to this world. Maybe after I die, you won't come here again. You can live a good life in your world and forget me."

Time is the gap between two people, so two people who like each other cannot even express their love. They can only be kind to each other out of instinct, put aside worldly views, and do what they want to do.

"I won't forget you!" Xu Zhao said firmly. It is said that first love is unforgettable, but she never expected that she would experience it one day.

"You will forget it. No matter how deep the memory is, it will fade away one day." Shen Yu said this, but he was also very sad in his heart.

He was really afraid that one day Xu Zhao would wake up and her memory of him would start to blur. He was afraid that Xu Zhao would have to face such a thing alone and how helpless she would be at that time.

Xu Zhao stubbornly said, "If the day ever comes when my memory becomes blurred, I will definitely forget you completely! I won't be sad or upset because of you!"

"Okay! Don't cry." Shen Yu hugged Xu Zhao in his arms. He sighed softly, thinking how much he had hurt Xu Zhao's heart in history.

Shen Yu will never know that Xu Zhao's sadness lies in the fact that he was the person who would never rebel, but in the end he was labeled a rebel and was infamous for eternity. Her heart ached.

After being comforted for a long time, Xu Zhao finally came to his senses and withdrew from Shen Yu's arms.

After staying in Shen Yu's arms for a long time, her little face turned red and the hair on her forehead became messy.

She raised her eyes and brushed her hair. The hot water bottle she had brought with her had gone cold during dinner, so she threw it into the carriage. Her hands were now cold, and she touched her face and said, "Let's go back."

"it is good."

Shen Yu took out one or two taels of silver from his purse, enough for today's tea and snacks. He placed it on the table, then took one hand from Xu Zhao's face, held it, pushed open the door and walked out of the private room.

As they walked, he said, "Your hands are so cold. They are always like this every time I hold your hands. But was it always like this in your time?"

Shen Yu felt that Xu Zhao's body in this era must be based on her original body, so after she died in this world, her body would also disappear.

After hearing this, Xu Zhao thought for a moment, nodded somewhat without reacting, and then realized that Shen Yu was walking in front with his back to her and could not see her movements at all.

So he said, "It seems that's true. I used to live further south, and every winter I felt very cold. My hands and feet were also cold during the day, and I couldn't warm myself up at all. I could only warm myself up with something that gave me heat."

Her three-piece winter set: electric blanket, hot water bottle, and air conditioner. Without these three items, she feels she cannot survive a winter in modern times.

"I'll have someone pass a sign into the palace tomorrow and ask the head physician Wei to come and see you. Remember to memorize the prescription he prescribes and drink it when you return to your time."

"Okay." Xu Zhao agreed, even though it was still summer in her time.

Tomorrow I will ask the imperial physician to prescribe some medicine that I can drink on a daily basis to nourish myself. Maybe I won’t feel cold in winter.
