Is Mu Xiǎo dead?

  Song Lingyu was taken aback, she never thought it would be his method, but this seems to make sense too. The fifth prince in her impression is not biased towards the forces of the imperial court, but rather towards the military. This is also inevitable, his mother's background is not high, and there is no power in the imperial court, so he can only plan a way out for the military.

  This was also the first time she had heard this name from someone else's mouth after her rebirth. Just hearing this name made her somewhat displeased, so what if she were to see him in person? She seemed a little afraid to imagine what she would do!

  "Big sister?" Song Yishan called out softly as she didn't react for a long time.

  Song Lingyu came back to her senses and looked at Song Yishan, smiling apologetically: "I was just thinking, should I go thank the Fifth Prince?"

  Song Yishan nodded, "The Emperor has already given the Fifth Prince a generous reward. If Elder Sister wants to go and thank the Fifth Prince in person, that's not impossible either." Song Lingyu nodded, then her eyes stared at the ground not far away, the smile at the corner of her mouth also became much shallower, her eyes flickering restlessly, seemingly somewhat anxious. Song Yishan was such a clever person, seeing Song Lingyu like this, he knew she had something difficult to say. "Elder Sister, is it that you want to ask about the leader of the mountain stronghold?"

  "Hmm." Song Lingyu pretended to nod with difficulty, then slightly opened his right hand: "After all, how can I say it, those knives were all stabbed down by my own hands..."

  Song Yishan saw that she was a bit afraid and worried that she had been traumatized by yesterday's incident, so he comforted her: "Sister, you don't have to be afraid, nor do you need to feel guilty. He was originally a thief, these past few years he may not have done anything evil, but opposing the imperial court is opposing the emperor himself, he was always bound to die, you should let it go."

  "Then he...he..." Song Lingyu looked up at Song Yishan, her eyes showing obvious panic, she wanted to speak but hesitated, and finally spoke again: "Is he dead?"

  "The big fire spread quickly, extending to the surrounding areas, and our troops had no choice but to retreat first. When the fire was extinguished and we went in to take a look again, there was a charred body in the house where the fire started, so we confirmed that he was burned to death."

  Song Lingyu's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He's dead? How dare he die! All his efforts to save him, wanting him to turn back and lend a helping hand, were in vain. Song Lingyu thought that at the very least, he would have made it out of the mountain stronghold before running out of energy and being bitten to death by wild beasts. But he actually died so easily, proving that he had overestimated him after all!

  Song Yishan saw Song Lingyu's slightly furrowed brow and thought she was just a weak woman, so he felt uneasy and kindly reminded her: "Sister, I think you don't look too good, why not go back and rest first?"

  Song Lingyu came back to her senses and smiled apologetically at Song Yishan: "Originally wanted to come and thank you, didn't expect to still lose face in front of second brother, really..."

  "Sister, you don't have to mind, we are all family, taking care of each other is what we should do."

  Song Lingyu gave Song Yishan an apologetic smile and left Bai En Garden, all the way Song Lingyu did not speak. She was just a woman with no power, even as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's mansion, she had no real power, let alone compete with the prince. If it were in the Prime Minister's mansion to deal with Song Lingyao or Madame, there might be a chance. But at the Fifth Prince's place, he couldn't be allowed to fail.

  Now that there is no way out of Mu Xiao's path, we can only find another way out!
