Chapter 106: She told Xiao Ye about her precognitive dream.

They went into the hall, had a meal together, and then returned to the courtyard together.

After taking a bath to wash away the dust from his journey, Xiao Ye spoke to Su Liluo about his trip to Langya Mountain.

"You mean those bandits were poisoned to death in the street? And Langya Mountain was burned to the ground, allowing them to escape?"

Su Liluo exclaimed in surprise after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, even though she warned Xiao Ye in this life, Xiao Churen's men still managed to escape.

"Well, it wasn't all fruitless. I found a piece of military armor that had fallen on the mountain."

Xiao Ye said.

"I suspect that someone is training a private army there. Those bandits are not real bandits. They should be taking this opportunity to move their positions. I intercepted a lot of their silver and other valuables."

They probably didn't originally intend to set the fire. It was another team I arranged that discovered their secret passage, which cornered them, forcing them to abandon their valuables and flee on fire.

Private soldiers!

Xiao Ye actually guessed that they were training a private army, a discovery that delighted Su Liluo.

Although the people escaped, at least some physical evidence was obtained, and they still managed to escape without taking any valuables with them, which is also a flaw in the case.

Su Liluo rested her chin on her hand and thought about it seriously. In her previous life, after Xiao Churen moved his private army to a new location, he had prepared sufficient funds and did not use any of the imperial city's silver.

However, since Xiao Ye has seized all his silver and valuables, his private army will be insufficiently supported, and he will have to obtain silver from his own capital city.

With so much silver being transported out, it's impossible that nothing happened. If we keep an eye on things, we might be able to find out where he moved his private troops.

"My lord, in the coming days you can send someone to keep an eye out for any princes or court officials with large sums of money flowing through their homes. You intercepted the silver of those private soldiers; they need to make a living, and the person behind them will definitely have to provide them with silver."

With that in mind, Su Liluo voiced her thoughts.

Seeing Su Liluo's confident expression, Xiao Ye felt a moment of doubt.

How did she know that the person behind this must be in the capital?

When Su Liluo saw Xiao Ye's puzzled look, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately saw through his suspicions.

After thinking for a moment, she could only say, "My husband, I once had a dream, and many of the things in the dream have come true. This is actually something I dreamed about as well."

She felt there were some things she needed to clarify with Xiao Ye, but instead of using the unacceptable method of rebirth, she told Xiao Ye through a precognitive dream.

"What dream?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ye became nervous.

My intuition told me that this was a very bad dream.

"I once dreamed that before my wedding to you..."

Su Lilu recounted the events of her past life, mentioning how she betrayed Xiao Churen and stole his letters to give to him.

Her heart ached as if it were being cut by a dull knife, and she choked up several times as she spoke.

She thought that maybe she was being too selfish, or maybe it was because she had fallen for him and cared about him that she didn't want Xiao Ye to know how pathetic she was.

After recounting her precognitive dream, Su Liluo lowered her gaze to the ground, unable to meet Xiao Ye's eyes directly.

Guilt, remorse, and a host of other complex emotions tangled in her heart, like a dense mass of insects gnawing at her.

After listening, Xiao Ye remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he asked incredulously, "How did you die in the end?"

"I was burned alive by them in the backyard of the Crown Prince's residence."

Burn them to death!

Xiao Ye gritted his teeth as he chewed on those two words, his gaze turning both pained and ruthless.

Burning someone alive, how painful that must be!

"Don't worry, with me here, I will never let these things happen."

Suddenly, Xiao Ye pulled Su Liluo into his arms and comforted her.

Su Liluo froze, staring blankly at him. "Husband, you...you don't blame me for betraying you in my dream?"

Xiao Ye hesitated for a moment, then said, "You said it yourself, it was a dream. Besides, in the dream you were deceived by the Su family, it wasn't your true intention."

Actually, he was heartbroken when he first heard Su Liluo say that she had betrayed him in her dream.

But then she thought about it again, and realized that in her dream she was also deceived by the Su family and Xiao Churen, and besides, she didn't actually kill herself in the dream.

Moreover, in this life, she was the one who healed his leg, and as they spent more time together, he had already fallen in love with her. How could he bear to blame her for this dream?

However, if he could truly predict reality from what he dreamed about, he would listen to some of it.

Su Liluo was deeply moved, and tears streamed down her face.

"My husband, I'm sorry for what I did in my dream. I will make it up to you in this life."

"No, don't try to make amends. I don't want your love for me to be just about making amends."

Xiao Ye placed his finger on her lips and looked at her intently.

"good."

After a moment of stunned silence, Su Liluo responded with emotion.

The next day.

Xiao Ye went to court and handed over all the wealth of the Langya Mountain bandits to Emperor Wenjian. He also said that the Langya Mountain was now deserted and that the court had been arranged to take over the area.

Emperor Wenjian was overjoyed and praised Xiao Ye in court.

Xiao Churen didn't say anything throughout the entire process, but when the court session ended, he gave Xiao Ye a meaningful glance.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Your Highness has truly impressed me this time!"
