Du Xiaoyue was writing with a brush. When she finally finished writing the last word, she looked up and asked, "Brother Li, how is it?"

Mo Li praised: "Not bad, but some are fat and some are thin, some are tall and some are short."

Du Xiaoyue spat and said, "Are you describing the person or the word?"

At this time, the troupe owner behind the two of them said, "San'er, please put up the play poster outside the garden later." San'er said yes and went out with the play poster.

Du Xiaoyue stood up and asked, "Boss, what show are we performing tonight?"

The troupe owner said, "Wangjiang Pavilion."

Du Xiaoyue said, "What a good play! I became famous for playing Tan Ji'er."

Mo Li also stood up and said with a smile, "Really? Xiaoyue, you are really awesome." He gave a thumbs up.

The troupe owner said, "It's a pity. Mochou is afraid something might happen to you, so she won't let you go on stage."

Du Xiaoyue said, "What's there to be afraid of..." She learned this from Mo Li.

The class owner asked, "What does this mean?"

Mo Li explained, "This is our local dialect, which means don't be afraid."

The troupe owner said, "With your three names, Du Xiaoyue, the show will be a complete success."

Mo Li advised, “Xiao Yue, since Mo Chou won’t let you go, we won’t force it.”

Du Xiaoyue said: "Brother Li is right. I can just help out in the background."

The boss smiled and nodded, then went back to his own business.

Mo Li took a look at the play's name and commented, "This doesn't look like a simple sign written by a big troupe."

Du Xiaoyue said, "Brother Li, everyone in the troupe is just like me. It's good enough if they can write a few words."

Mo Li shook his head and said, "Hanging words like this out will bring shame to the troupe."

San'er said, "Miss Xiaoyue, this elder brother seems to be able to write."

Du Xiaoyue said, "That's right, Brother Li, come and help us write the script."

Mo Li was just about to brag that he had written for the big opera troupes in the capital, Jin Liansheng, Hechun Pavilion, and Tongqing Troupe.

I didn't expect Du Xiaoyue to agree so quickly, and I swallowed the words that were about to come out of my mouth.

I immediately started helping to write the script.

……

The gates of Yunzhou City were filled with soldiers. He Shen said, "Master, it's time to return to the capital."

Emperor Gai Zhang was a little reluctant and said, "Leaving so soon?"

He Shen said: "The origin of the golden lock has been found out. The master's identity is clear, and his wish has been fulfilled. It is natural for him to return."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "But I haven't found my biological mother, Lady Bai, yet. Besides, Mo Li hasn't been rescued yet. Wouldn't it be too hasty to go back like this?"

Fu Kang'an said, "Master, please rest assured. I will definitely rescue Mo Li."

He Shen shook his head slightly and said, "Master, Yunzhou is a place of trouble. It is not advisable to stay here for long. I think this White Lady is no longer alive. She cannot be found. Master, please go back."

Fu Kang'an said, "Yes, what you said makes sense, and the Fourteenth Prince's movements are also very suspicious. Your Majesty should return to the capital as soon as possible."

Emperor Gai Zhang said, "Heshen, Fukang'an, you two are in cahoots with each other, you don't want me to stay in Yunzhou."

Fu Kang'an and He Shen's expressions suddenly changed, and one of them said, "No."

Fu Kang'an said excitedly: "Master is the king of a country, and all the important affairs of the court are waiting for you to handle. As long as Master stays in Yunzhou, the world will be in turmoil."

Emperor Gai Zhang pointed his finger and said, "Fu Kang'an, you dare to contradict me. Do you want to be like Nian Gengyao?"

Fukang'an frowned and dared not say anything more.

He Shen said, "Master, please calm down. Fu Kang'an's loyalty is commendable. How could he be Nian Gengyao?"

Emperor Gai Zhang shook his folding fan.

He Shen continued, "Besides, the master is not Emperor Yongzheng. Please forgive his rudeness."

The Emperor said, "Nian Gengyao?" He glanced at the golden lock in his hand, immediately ordered the coachman to get off the carriage, got on himself, and let Heshen and Fukangan get on the carriage.

As soon as the two men got on the carriage, Emperor Gai Zhang said, "You two are not allowed to peek. Anyone who disobeys my order will be executed." He whipped the horses to urge them on.

The carriage was moving in a certain direction.

In the carriage, Fu Kang'an and He Shen were whispering. Fu Kang'an said, "Sir He, where is the emperor taking us?"

He Shen said, "How would I know? But I'm telling you, you must obey the Emperor and not peek. You've already angered the Emperor."

Fu Kangan said, "I understand."

Wang Yuanwai and his friend met again at the old place. His friend said, "Eunuch Wang, last time you said the emperor was driving a car in public, everyone laughed at you."

Mr. Wang acted very calmly and said, "Everything I said is true. When have I ever lied to you?"

After saying this, he subconsciously looked into the distance and saw Emperor Gai Zhang driving a carriage towards him.

Wang Yuanwai said, "Your Majesty, it's really Your Majesty, look."

The friend asked, “Where is it?”

Wang Yuanwai said, "The one driving the horse in the carriage. It's him, the Emperor."

The friend asked, "Is that the coachman again?"

"That's right." Mr. Wang was a little excited.

The friend said, "So the emperor is so bored that he drives his carriage down the street every day and ends up here?"

Wang Yuanwai looked aggrieved and said, "I'm right."

……

In the theater, audiences were coming in one after another to watch the show.

Backstage, the troupe owner came over and said, "Girl, this is incredible! Isn't this Wangjiang Pavilion? Why did it get changed to the Legend of the White Snake?"

Du Xiaoyue knew that Mo Li had deliberately made the mistake so that she could appear. Naturally, she wouldn't blame Mo Li. But Mo Chou would definitely be angry.

Mo Li naturally knew what Xiao Yue was thinking and said, "Xiao Yue, don't worry. I'll go tell Mo Chou that you should put on your makeup and go on stage quickly."

"Oh oh oh oh..." Du Xiaoyue immediately went to put on makeup.

……

Emperor Gai Zhang drove the carriage and stopped in front of a building. After getting off the carriage, Emperor Gai Zhang personally lifted the curtain and let Fu Kang'an and Heshen out.

When He Shen saw that it was the Dafa Gold Shop, he immediately felt something was wrong and asked, "Master, why did you bring us here?"

He thought that the Emperor was not confused at all and must have seen the flaw. He knelt down and said, "I deserve to die. I dare not deceive the emperor. I have my own difficulties."

Fu Kang'an also knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I just want you to return to the capital as soon as possible to handle state affairs. I have no other intentions. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

Emperor Gai Zhang pointed to the Dafa Gold Shop and said, "If my guess is correct, it should be empty inside." Although he didn't know the plot, it would still be difficult for Heshen and Fukang'an to hide the truth from his sharp eyes.

"Do you know how I saw the flaw? Return the account book to the late emperor. It says, 'May we live long and share the beauty of the moon, even though we are thousands of miles apart.' Do you remember the story of the late emperor killing Nian Gengyao?"

He Shen said, "Your Majesty, I know a thing or two. I remember that Emperor Yongzheng wrote these two lines of poetry as a warning on the eve of his execution of Nian Gengyao."

The Emperor said, "Heshen, you still remember it, which proves that you have a good memory. But why did Emperor Yongzheng write these two lines?"
